A Matter of Logic

West dealer. North-South vulnerable. _ NORTH A Q 6 4 V A 5 2 ♦ K Q 3 * A 10 9 8

SOUTH A K J 10 3 V Q 7 ♦ J 8 5 2 * K 7 2 The bidding: West North East South Pass 1 A 1 A 1 NT Pass 2 NT Pass 3 NT Opening lead - ten of hearts. The bidding by the opponents frequently determines declarer’s course of play. Consider this hand, which illustrates how East’s spade bid can vitally affect the outcome. West led a heart, East taking the king and returning the jack. Declarer won with the queen and had to decide which suit to play next. Let’s suppose he had led a spade to force out the ace. East would win and play a third heart, establishing West’s suit.

Sooner or later declarer would have to lead a diamond and, whenever he did, West would take the ace and forthwith sink the contract with his' remaining hearts. But let’s suppose South leads diamonds at once, instead of spades. In that case, he makes the contract whatever the defenders do. If West refuses the first diamond, South plays another one. As a result, West’s hearts drop out of the picture. If he takes the ace, he has no entry for his hearts: if he refuses the ace a second time, South abandons the suit and leads spades to wrap up the contract. Obviously, the crux of the hand-lip in choosing the right suit tcrattack, but which suit South should play first is certainly not a tossup. In making hii/'hoice, South goes back to the lidding for guidance. is far more logical to assume that East’s spade bid was based on a suit headed by the ace than one headed by the nine. It follows that if West has an ace, it is more likely to be in diamonds than spades, and South therefore shapes his play so as to deprive West of his potential entry card. In effect, the bidding paves the way to the proper method of play.

Tomorrow: A lucky shot.

The curls that create

- the modern hair styles to- ; day have more body to them and are unlike the tight ringlet of a few years 7 ago. They produce a larger . softer swish to the hair • and -provide just the right ; trurvfT and fullness to achieve the new look of 7 the latest hair fashions. The formation of the cuH has nothing to do with its lasting ability. The soft full-bodied curl with its 'aqsy manageability will have just as long a - life span as the small : tight curl. The most flattering new hair fashions are made possible for you by the ex- : penanced and qualified hair tftylists. And why worry about drab, limp, lifeless hair when we can revivelt to glowing beauty for you. CATALINA BEAUTY SALON 227 E. Washington St. Phone 653-3239

Marriage becomes picture of unhappiness By Abigail Van Buren (c, 1973 by Chicago Tribone-N. Y. News Synd., Inc. DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married two months. My husband is 44, and I am 41. For years he lived alone, ate plain meals, and didn't have a very exciting life. He loves photography, takes good pictures, and wants to become a professional. In the short time we’ve been together I have booked him for an exhibit at a good gallery, I got some of his pictures published, and I’ve set up a future exhibit at a museum. I'm presently working on getting us a free trip to Europe with a group of professional photographers. I am his wife, agent, cook, mentor, and lover. So tonight I prepared a really jazzy meal with candles and the works. When we sat down, I asked him: “Are you happy?” Well, I didn’t expect Robert Browning’s sonnets. A simple “yes” would have sufficed. You can imagine my shock when the dirty dog says: “Well, I’m not too unhappy.” That really turned me off. I mean, I couldn’t get excited over him again for the next 100 years. Please tell me where I went wrong. Maybe if I did nothing like some wives he’d appreciate me more. What now? DISGUSTED WITH HIM

DEAR DISGUSTED: A helpmate can do too much to help. He’d probably prefer eating baked beans in the dark with a woman for whom HE put the beans on the table. Give him a chance to see what he can do for himself—and you. DEAR ABBY: Joe Blow and I were married and had three children. Then Joe Blow and I were divorced. I then married John Doe. Now I learn that John Doe had several wives before he married me—none of whom he bothered to divorce! Question One: Am I still legally Mrs. Joe Blow? I certainly can’t be Mrs. John Doe if he is a bigamist, can I? Question Two: Is there a central United States bureau or agency where ALL divorces are recorded so a person can find out who is legally divorced? WHO AM I? DEAR WHO: Answer One: You are still Mrs. Joe Blow —in name only if John Doe is a bigamist. Answer Two: There is NO central bureau or agency where all divorces are recorded. Problems? You’ll feel better if you get it off your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 6S700, L. A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. For Abby’s booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding,” send $1 to Abby, Box 69700, Los Angeles, Cal. 90069.
