word is restricted to that meaning,
but it is widely used in the meaning
of pure blooded; pure bred; said
of horses, dogs, or any other pedi-
greed animal" And we often see
references to thoroughbred persons
that is, those who have the signs
of good birth and breeding. The
dictionaries do not limit the word

1t is evident that North was not
very helpful to his partner through
out the auction!
In the first place, North should
have realized that, with the vulner-
able opponents go on score, South
might easily be pushing" little,
in a defensive effort, and with West
doubling both of South's suits, North
should not have been sanguine
about defeating East at three spades.
North's spade length was not i'm
pressive. in view of the long and
obviously almost solid suit shown
by East-one defensive spade trick
was all North could expect. Adding
to this the club ace, and even look
ing to South for two defensive
tricks-a liberal estimate in the
light of Vests doubles-North still
had no sound penalty double of
three spades.
Perhaps East should not have
redoubled, but with his partner
cracking" South from two angles,
it certainly appeared that the op-
ponents could not find a good
sacrifice. So East tried for a truly
big score
If South had been partnered with
an expert he undoubtedly would
have passed the redouble, but
South's 'ear" was keen, and he felt
sure that North had been trapped.
This, of course, was the case
East would have made his contract
with ease, even if South opened
the singleton club and got in a
ruff with his lone trump. Thus,
East-West would have scored LILO
points on the hand. South, how
ever, persisted in his sacrifice idea,
and, though first rebidding the
diamonds, he decided (without
North's help in the decision) that
the longer heart suit offered far
greater safety. He was certainly
right in this respect, and by play
ing the heart contract shrewdly
he held the penalty to two tricks
only 300 points.

the same people be invited again?"
Usually, yes. But if something

reverses, and the wedding prepara-

list of invitations would have to be
reduced.

gagged until he can afford to get

Answer: If I understand that
you consider the custom an ac-
