To its extensive fashion library, its vast

brilliant pageant of past and present designs,
go designers in every fashion field to find
invaluable inspirational and research material.
The exhibition Mediterranean Palette" that

tus Saint-Gaudens was a tenn

One morning, while working

placed his hammer. Every time
he needed it, he would have to
spend precious minutes looking
for it.
Saint Gauden's irritation
mounted dangerously. Finally,
in a burst of fury, he dashed out
of the house, ran to the hard
ware store and purchased a
dozen hammers.
He scattered them on the floor
and on his work bench. After
that, he always had a hammer
available but he wasted just as

The bidding:
North East South West
10 Pass IA Pass
80 Pass 3NT All Pass
I notice, however, that there is
no such exactness in the ham
ding of jump rebids in a suit.
When you open the bidding
with a heart and partner re-
spends spade, what do you need
to rebid three hearts? Let's try
to pin down the answer to that
in the next few columns.
AS illustrated in today's deal.
there is no use asking Mr.. Abel.
If he always bids as he did here,
his answer certainly is not the
right one.
His three heart rebid was
atrocious. Apparently the six
card suit and the fit in his part
ner's spades went to his head.
The principal purpose of a
jump rebid like this is to tell
partner you have a good hand
and a good suit, usually at least
a six-carder.
Mr.. Abel's holding did not
come close to these specifications.
He did not have a particularly
strong hand in high cards, GER
tainly he did not have a good
heart suit and if MI. Dale could
not find another bid over a
simple tWo-heart call, then there
could be no reasonable play for
game. And there wasn't.
In deciding whether to make a
simple rebid or a jump rebid in
your suit make this test. First,
assume that your partner has
a hand on which he will pass a
simple rebid. Then ask yourself
If you are willing to be in a
game contract with that weak a
dummy.
Remember, partner is just as
anxious to score that game bonus
as you are. There is no sense in
urging him to rebid doubtful
values unless you have seven
playing tricks in your own hand.
