Opening lead: Eight Of clubs
1t would seem to be good busi-
ness reasoning, that where 1t Is, con-
venient to try for slam below the
game level, that method is prefer
able to making your effort after a
game contract has been reached.
Slam possibilities will then have
been fully explored and you are in
position to quit If necessary with
out having jeopardized the game
itself.
I do not mean that you must not
occasionally invite your partner to
bid slam by calling something like
five spades. On certain hands that
is inevitable. But where it is Just
as convenient to fire your big salvo
early in the fray, you may avoid
the risk of being set at contract
Of one over game.
In today's hand, North opened
with one diamond and South re-
sponded with one heart. He chose
not to make an immediate jump
shift because, without having as
yet determined good place to
play the hand, he did not wish to
start a slam conversation. 1t is
only after North rebid one spade
that South began to show an in
terest in slam. He made the mis-
take, however, of bidding three
spades, game force to be sure,
which North dutifully observed by
going to four. South, feeling that
he had not yet tried for a slam,
did so at this point by showing
the ace of clubs. North signed Off
at five spades and South retired,
but 1t was too late. The damage
had been wrought and when trumps
broke badly the contract was de-
feated trick.
This was bit of hard luck that
could have been obviated by proper
management. When South recog-
nized slam possibilities, he should
have flashed the slam signal below
game by jumping in new suit. 1t
is true that he hasn't really another
suit, but that doesn't matter, since,
regardless of what suit North sup
ports, South is prepared to return
to spades. After the jump shift Of
three clubs, North should make the
noncommittal rebid of three dia-
monds. If South feels 50 inclined
he may Jump again, this time in
spades, though without high honor
in tru1nps this is a risky procedure.
At any rate in this manner South
will have succeeded in showing a
powerful hand within the game
level, and North having fully de-
scribed his values may gracefully
check out of the auction.
1t is we'll to note that . jump
from one spade to three should not
be employed when slam Is In con-
temptation. A jump In new suit
is the proper procedure IN such
cases. This avoids the necessity for
overbidding the game in an effort
to advertise your interest IN slam.

would love to have some grapefruit juice if
you have it,
The important point to make is that it is
inexcusable for a hostess not to provide fruit

MRS. Posi-: The minimum per person is
Is cents in restaurant with tablecloth

Housing Shortage
When t,eo families lire together because of
the housing shortage, how can each entertain
friends?
Mrs. PosT: The best solution know is to
have definite schedule for staying in and
going out. Otherwise, neither family will feel
free to ask the other to go out But plan
such as this can work to perfection:
