George Sanders confesses every
thing, I mean he breaks down and
tells me that his continual TRADES
against woman are all for dear
old publicity's sake. Which is some
thing I might have told George.
Did you say all those things?" II
ask George. Yes" he replies.
Did you mean them?" I continue.
NO" says George, "and now that

Many school and college speech

sonalities thus far analyzed.
There have been 80 portraits thus
far. I am sorry that complete sets
of the articles cannot be furnished,
although this may somehow be
possible later, perhaps in the form
of a pamphlet or small book

Opening ledQ, ace Oh QldnO1QS.
There are few persons who are
greater source of irritation than the
player who pays no attention to his
partners signals. Deuces and eights
are all the same to him, and he pro-
ceeds gayly along in his own COM
placent manner, needless of the
suggestions offered by one who has
the information and the desire to
help him.
1 do not mean to suggest that all
signals by partner are absolute COM
mands. Except in one or two speci-
fled cases where a player is required
to treat his partners signal as abso-
lutte, he Is entitled to use his own
discretion. Your partner may ar
IDENTIFY desire the continuation of
certain suit, but you may be in pos
session of certain information that
is not available to him, on the basis
of which you may be quite sure that
another line of defense will be more
effective. But you must not disre-
gard partners suggestion on mere
whim, or because your plan of de-
fense will be just as good. 1t must
be better.
In today's hand South quite prop
erly disregarded his partners signal
because he knew that partner was
not aware of the exact distribution.
Both sides made the most of their
bidding opportunities. West elected
to double the opening bid of one
spade in preference to making a
mere oyercall of two hearts. North's
jump to three spades was calculated
to keep East from showing his suit,
if he had one. Many players would
prefer to 60 one step further and
bid four spades to make it even
more difficult for East to enter the
auction. However, in this case it is
doubtful that East would have been
shut out With his favorable distri-
button even a bid of five hearts
would not be considered as over
venturesome. South naturally went
on to four spades and West raised to
five hearts. North holding trump
trick, doubled.
South elected quite properly =
open the ace of diamonds. North
followed with the four, which South
could read as his lowest card. This
should normally be construed as a
request to discontinue the suit and
lead something else But what could
South effectively lead? Even if de-
clarer had spade, only two tricks
were in sight unless North could
win a trump trick Was it likely
| that North held the ace of hearts?
II he didn't there was no way to
defeat the contract, and further
more, if the only high card he held
was the king of spades, just what
ever possessed him to double the
| five-heart contract? He just had to
have the ace of hearts. On this line
of reasoning. South continued with
the eight of diamonds and when
North got in with the ace of trumps
| the ruff defeated the contract.
Tomorrow's Problem.
Partner opens with one diamond
and you hold:
