National Tourney Story
It wouldn't be fair to wind
up National Tourney news
without q story culled from
| the many that emanate from
such an assembly. This one
proves q great truth about
bridge addicts: II doesn't
take much to cure a bridge
player. Miriam Brandt felt
dizzy and faint during the
individuals. She leaned down
and put her head low, while
all at the table watched her
anxiously Since Miriam was
declarer, an opponent asked
solicitously. Don't you want
your partner to play the hand
while you rest?" THAT does
it," Miriam said, I'm feeling
better. Ill play the hand
myself"
