Irish writer on a lecture tour. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER ONE (Continued) “Nut! That was his pay. Well, Ella was desperate—with Polly sick iand her family coming down over the holiday—and it isn’t as if they . teally knew him or he them. We have the room and I gather he’s amus'ng. “Hi,, name’s Lian Shaughnessey—that's for you to remember! Then when I met Marvin Pratt in town last week and heard he was in this tart of the*' world for the first time > In twelve years ” a a a "TAID you start your love affairs JL/ in your cradle?" asked her husband incredulously. “Here youheld him up to me as a prewar suitor! How early did you begin getting sentimental over the boys, anyhow?" • “I didn’t get sentimental—he did all of that! And I’m no such infant. as it flatters you make me out, Tom Averill,” answered his wife with dignity. “After all, I’d worked for years—well, several years—before we met. And, anyhow, Marvin lived next door to us and we went to the same school—he is older than X am, 6 or 7 years, mayoe—” “Oh, yes, I can see he dates back pretty far. Well, it’ll be amusing to meet an ex-rival . . . except perhaps you’ll wish you hadn’t let him go roving all over the w’orld so that I could snatch you up." An eloquent glance dismissed his pretense 61 meekness. They still were much in love, this very modern pair, in spite of their three years of married life. 'i “Roving,” said Linda, “is a word I never could apply to Marvin. He’s altogether too serious for anything so so vagabondish. Whatever he does, or wherever he travels, you inay be sure he does it with a high moral purpose.” “Umm! Sometimes those highly moral boys kid themselves that Whatever they want to do is the best thing for all concerned. I wonder how he’ll mix with the insouciant DeVos and the important Mr. Statlander! At any rate, they’ll all have one thing in common—travel. . “Os course, there are two Europeans—the Belgian and and your wild Irisher—and Statlander’s a nut ’on big game hunting. At least he says he is. He doesn’t look the part, but I know he’s been all over the -world. Poor Cousin Amos! He does so disprove of anything or anybody ‘furrin’!” “Yes, I’m afraid he won’t find the company congenial.” “He doesn’t find any one congenial. How did he happen to drop into this any how, honey?" “Telephoned from New York. Down from Marblehead for a directors’ meeting or something. Has to stay till after the Fourth. Naturally, couldn't ” “O course you couldn’t help it. t>on't worry. At least, not having any idea what any one of our guests is like, we can't be expected to guarantee them to one another. Where are you going to put them all?” “That’s it!” Linda looked up re-

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THE elimination of strip play Is a consistent winner of tricks. When properly applied, it enables the declarer to avoid many a dangerous Anesse, and the expert player usually will And one or two opporj tunities to execute it in every session of play. Many such plays are simple in I excution, but the following hand, recently played in the Beaver Valley championship, required careful planning by the declarer, for he was obliged to start the play at the second trick. The only declarer who succeeded in making four spades on this hand was George G. McClure, who, with R. J. Henderson, won the Beaver Valley championship.

The Bidding South and West passed and McClure, in the North, opened with one spade. His hand did not quite justify that bid in Arst or second position, but in the one over one system third hand may open with a hand of very moderate strength. East passed and Henderson, in the South, bid three spades. This was a game-demand force and commanded the partner to bid either four spades or three no trump, whichever contract seemed be*st. McClure re-bid to four spades, which became the Anal contract. The Play East opened with the king of hearts, which appeared to be the only logical lead from his hand, and of course the declarer won with the ace. An analysis of the hand showed one sure club loser, and the possibility of losing one spade and two diamonds. Most declarers proceeded in the hope that at least one of the possible flnesses would be right, and thereby the success of the contract would be assured.

wrecked! Either she or Rosie—l can’t pin them down—let the bath tub upstairs overflow and it leaked through under the Aoor and down on the nursery ceiling and down the sides of the walls. ‘‘lt’s all big damp patches and the man came and said it might fall—the ceiling, I mean—and nobody should sleep there till he could get back to Ax it. And heaven knows when that will be—not until after the Fourth, when they've all gone!” “Hmp! Well?” "I've worked it out the best I can. We can't ask any of them to double up, not knowing each other. I gave Mr. De Vos the best room—at the far end of the hall—and Uncle Amos the guest room with the little private lavatory. Marvin Pratt’s across from him in the smaller room. He won’t feel discriminated against—he likes to be unselAsh.

McClure was more cautious, and decided to plan against all possible emergencies. At the second trick he prepared for an elimination play in case he should And the king of spades wrong, and it should be absolutely necessary to conAne his diamond losers to one trick. AccordinAgly, he led the king of clubs at trick two, which West won with the ace and returned a heart. McClure ruffed in dummy with the four of spades and returned the Ave, going up with the ace of spades, when West showed void ol that suit. He next returned a club to dummy’s queen and led back a small club, which was ruffed in his own hand. He led his last heart, ruffing in dummy with the eight of spades, and returned the last club, which he was careful to ruff in his own hand with the ten of spades. East’s play now is immaterial, but as it happened he declined to overruff and discarded a small diamond. McClure led the ten of diamonds from his hand and West won with the queen, but found himself in a hopeless position. To return a heart would enable the declarer to ruff in one hand and discard a losing diamond from the other, while to lead a diamond would relinquish all hope of taking another trick in that suit. Thus, by losing only one club, one diamond and one spade, McClure was able to make his four spade contract.

r I ''HE United States of America is A serving as the “hero" of the modern novel more and more frequently, these days. John Dos Passos showed how it could be done by writing books in which the nation itself was, so to speak, the central character around which the plot evolved; and now Leane Zugsmith, in “Never Enough,” has done the same thing. Incidentally, Miss Zugsmith has enjoyed something of Mr. Dos Passos’ success; for “Never Enough” is a remarkably strong book, as human and as absorbing as your daily paper, filled with some of the most vivid characters that have appeared in American fiction in many a day. •In this book she studies the careers of divers Americans; an adroit and sensual politician, a gangster, a drifting ex-reporter, an earnest lad who is trying to fight off tuberculosis and write a book on philosophy, a young woman of easy virtue, a frustrated shop girl, an energetic Communist, an actress —and perhaps a dozen others. * Their lives are inter-connected only casually. They drift in and out of the story at random; perhaps you are getting a baker’s dozen of short stories loosely tied together. But what makes the book succeed is the fact that they are all very real people. You don’t get confused, because you don’t forget any of them. And out of it all you get a sympathetic and deeply interesting picture of the last fifteen years of American life. “Never Enough” is one of the bright spots on the fall fiction program. It is published by Liverighfc and sells for $2.

“He and Mr. De Vo* will have to share the bath. Then I put Mr. Statlander next to us, where he has the bath at that end all to himself, which I thought would make up for his not having a larger room. I didn’t want to hurt any one's feelings.” “And how about the literary man? Was he to have the nursery?” “No—l meant to put him in Marvin's room and Marvin in the nursery, but the mess spoiled that. I’ve put him in the garage!” “Heavens, Binks! But then—” “It's perfectly comfortable and the bedroom has a than most of the house rooms. He’ll have it all to himself—that little suite upstairs. He can sit up all night if he wants to. Read or write—literary people are so uncertain.” “Especially Irish literary people,” added Tom gloomily.

“I thought it might appeal to him. It would to lots of men. You, for instance.” “Me? Sure —I’d love it. It wouldn’t do for Statlander or the Belgian. Or even Marvin, coming back into your life for the Arst time in yeahs and yeahs and being shoved off to the chauffeur s quarters.” a a a “'THOM AVERILL!

Though I can endure a Long Island house in summer very nicely. Still and all, with this white elephant, I often feel poorer than I did paying a landlord once a. month.”

“Heavens, yes! And how’ll I explain our apparent wealth to Cousin Amos?” “A bit on the frugal side, isn't he?" agreed Tom. “Be sure to rub it in about the allowance for entertainment I get from tile ofQce.
