CONTRACT ffll „J, BRIDGE Be? ? EXPERTS PLAY IT S# k -

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Rrldre league BETTER to explain the following hand to you, I have given both and West the king of spades. Several principles of play are involved in the hand. The Bidding The contract bidding, employing the one over one, would be South one spade, West pass, North two spades—a very weak hand, but with four trump and a doubleton, you should give partner a chance. East would pass and South, with his big hand, now should jump to four spades. The Play opening lead would be the king of diamonds. East should play the eight, showing his partner the ace. The first play—supposing that West continues with the queen of diamonds and then a small diamond. When East plays the ace, the declarer must be careful not to make the mistake of trumping with the six of spades—he must trump with the queen and now lead a small club, winning in dummy with the king.

He now should play the nine of spades from dummy. East, if he has the king, should not cover, and now the declarer has the six spot to play on dummy’s lead. If East held three spades to the king, that is the only way that the declarer can pick up the king, while if West happened to hold the king, West now would win the trick and then would return either a heart or a spade, and the jack of spades then would become an entry for the declarer in dummy. Suppose, however, that after holding the first trick with the king ot diamonds, West were to shift to his singleton club. The declarer should play small from dummy. East would not go up with the queen, but would play his eight spot. The declarer would win with the ten. That lead of the four of clubs

i never seen the firm's most remunerative client!” Nor had she. Mr. Townsend was one of the favored few who used the private elevator leading directly to Mr. Garretson's own office. Mona glanced at her wrist watch and saw that it was well past her usual lunch time. Well, now that she had delayed this long she would wait and lunch at the Savarin. It was expensive, but occasionally she went there, ordering the least costly dish on the menu. Mona felt sick at heart. The influenza might keep Barry at home until his sailing date and by that time perhaps he would forget her! A moment later Mollie Drury passed Mona's desk, dropping a folded newspaper. “Get a load of that!” Mona said mysteriously. The society page was folded outvard to display a rather pretty, yet vacuous face. It was the face of a girl named Genevieve Dower. ‘ Miss Genevieve Dower,” the caption ran, "daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert W. ALdrich Dower of East Seventy-second street and Southampton, L. 1., will be presented at a dinner dance tonight at Pierre's. Mona raised uncomprehending eyes and Mollie shrugged. “Engaged, so they say, to Barry Townsend!

warns him that there is a singleton club out, and now, regardless of the location of the king of spades, the declarer must not take any finesse, but immediately should play his ace of spades and then lead the queen of spades. Regardless of who holds the king —East or West—they are not going to be able to get in a club ruff. Os course, if West should happen to hold three spades to the king, when he shifted to the singleton club, there would be no way for the declarer to make his contract, but that would be the only holding that would prevent declarer from going game.

7T6GDK A DAY 8Y BRUCE CAT7QN

IN “The Gap in the Curtain,” John Buchan considers the things that men might do if they could get a certain glimpse into the future. By one of those bits of hocuspocus permitted to novelists, he has five Englishmen shown a copy of a newspaper dated exactly one year ahead. A financier learns that a certain great merger is to be announced on that date. A politician discovers that a supposedly unimportant statesman is to become prime minister then. A young aristocrat learns that he is to sail on an archeological expedition to Yucatan on that day. And two other young men read their own death notices. Mr. Buchan then shows how these five react to the news. The financier does his best to cash in on his knowledge—and succeeds in losing 20,000 pounds. The politicians, striving to insure his own fortunes, manages only to drive himself out of politics. The young aristocrat goes to Yucatan despite every effort to dodge it. One of the two forewarned of death gives way to panic—and dies on schedule. Only the fifth man is able to circumvent his fate, and he does it by accident rather than by design. Mr. Buchan’s point is that it isn’t enough to know what is going to happen, unless we also know how it is going to happen. A glimpse into the future, he concludes, is worse than useless unless it tells everything. He makes of “The Gap in the Curtain’’ a thoroughly interesting book. Published by the HoughtonMifflin Company, it sells for $2.50.

Answer to Previous Puzzle

Remember seeing him areund here?” Mona remembered—as Mollie had expected. "Engaged?” she repeated. “The paper doesn't say that, does it?” ‘ The paper doesn't—but Dr. Dower and Barry Townsend's uncle are great pals. They were down at White Sulphur with Mr. Garretson.” Mona looked again at the portrait. The face was unfamiliar, but the name—ah, she recognized it! Barry had been called to the telephone last Sunday when Jimr/lie reported. “Miss Dower is calling.” “It is announced?” she asked /dully. Mollie raised her hands, indicating disinterest. “Not yet, I guess. The girl probably wants a fling in society before she marries.” Who could want a fling, Mona thought desperately, with Barry waiting? She said nothing, however, and Mollie, only half satisfied with the effect of her news, descended to eat her lunch. Mona was about to relinquish her post when the telephone rang. It was Steve once more. “Want to run out to Twilands with me tonight?” he asked. Steve had just talked to Mrs. Faxon, wh said Barry was feeling better. "I can’t tonight, Steve. . I'm going to see father.” Declining Steve’s suggestion that she should drive to Twilands after visiting the hospital, Mona put down the instrument and set off for lunch. u a THE Savarin was emptying and she found a secluded seat near a corner. Without consulting the menu, Mona ordered briefly—a pot of tea ,with lemon, eggs Benedictine and toast. The co °l green of the room, the music, faraway but insistent, the spotless linen gave her the sense of luxury her mood required. Presently the waiter brought her order, lifted the silver cover of the dish, and poured the tea. Mona drank the beverage slowly. Holding the cup to her lips, she noted that she was not, as she had thought, alone in this section of the room. Directly across sat Mr. Garretson chatting with another man. Mona noticed that the stranger was slim with a slightly military erectness and that he was regarding her as he flicked ashes from his cigar into a tray. For an instant his eyes met Mona’s. Swiftly the girl looked away and again considered her tea cup. As she rose to leave she glanced toward Mr. Garretson, who bowed. “He’ll think I'm extravagant,” Mona thought with alarm. Hurrying away, she had the uncomfortable feeling that the two men were discussing her. She didn't want Mr. Garretson to think she wasted money—today of all days. For Mona had decided to ask for an advance with which to finance her father’s treatment. She would, of course, approach Mr. Garretson about it. It had been Mr. Ga.retson who had hired her, arranged her work and given her frequent raises in salary. At 5 o'clock Mona took the subway and rode to the hospital, reflecting as she struggled through the crowds that this was the first evening in a long while that she had not made the trip in Steve's car. At a corner shop she bought tobacco and oranges and selected seme cartoon booklets for her father, who was an enthusiastic admirer of Mickey Mouse. a tt tt FOLLOWING the stiffly starched nurse into the doctor's office. Mona’s heart grew lighter. With Dad well once more she would be so much happier. Bud no longer was a worry. Kitty was doing well at school. Ma had felt better lately too. There was only the problem of raising the money for her father’s treatment. Steve might loan her the amount. Mona reflected. But no she couldn’t ask him for it. She had taken such pains to make clear to

Steve Just what she could accept from him and what she could not. Mona recalled one of Lottie's axioms concer/iing men. “They'll spend a fortune on you for things you don’t need or even care about. Oh—the lobster Newberg I've eaten when I needed shoes! The orchids I've worn when I was wondering how to pay rent! Whenever you really need something, you can count men out.” She remembered that once when one of the girls had been in urgent need of money Lottie had conducted a sale and many of her friends generously had thrown in various treasures. Lottie as auctioneer, glib of tongue and generous herself, rapidly had raised the required sum.

Mona, however, had nothing to sell. The ermine coat might have brought *SOO, but it had been returned to Pilgrim's the day after its aft-ival. She had declined the diamond necklace. No—there was no way except to ask her for an advance. Dr. Dean, a slender, blond young man of earnest mien, looked up as she entered his office. The doctor’s air was preoccupied and important. He just had come from a conference, he said, at which her father’s case had been discussed. Dr. Fredericks, the well-known specialist, had been present and had agreed with the other doctors' findings. The radium treatment was not only advisable, but essential.

then. He looked the antithesis of Dr. Dean—older. Jovial, dark and stocky. Save for his smile and general air of efficiency, he might have passed anywhere for a badly dressed grocery clerk. But when he spoke, Mona's attitude toward the man changed completely. Here were knowledge, experience, quiet assurance. Moreover, Dr. Fredericks was frankly pleased by Muss Moran's beauty. The girl felt that at any cost she must place her father under this learned man's care. As Dr. Fredericks talked, the younger doctor nodded solemnly and the nurse, glancing up from her files, smilea approval. "I brought my father a few little things," Mona told Miss Folsom, aft-
