TWO-BID ASSURES GAME

BY WM. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary. /"'VNE of the saddest errors frequently made by inexperienced players is the inaccurate use of the game-guarantee opening bid of two in a suit. Years ago such opening bid was advocated if the hand contained about five honor tricks and a biddable suit. Later, experience dis closed the fallacy of this yardstick, because it was found that an opening bid of two in a suit most frequently led to a hopeless game or slam contract, which was de-

seated because it was arrived at unjustifiably. Too many players still follow this “rule” and even today are “banging” weak two-bids at their partners with alarming frequency. Modern practice dictates that the bidding start with an opening bid of one, except with hands that are so strong that game seems certain; and that a probable slam contract can be made if some slight strength can be found in partner’s hand. In the last four or five years several formulas have been advanced for determining whether and opening hand contains a justifiable bid of two in a suit. Fundamentally, there are two necessary qualifications for such opening bid: 1. The hand should contain at least four honor tricks, to support a possible slam try during the later rounds of bidding. 2. The hand should contain enough playing tricks practically to guarantee game. Both these qualifications have been incorporated into anew formula which automatically and quickly determines whether your hand contains a justifiable opening bid of two in a suit. Here it is: HAND A HAND B 4KQJ▲ K Q 9 8 7 ¥AK97i V A K Q ♦ A3 4 K J 10 *AK9* A 3 15 open tne bidding wicn two in a suit only when your hand contains a biddable suit and more honor tricks than losers. This formula is simplicity itself. What do we mean by “losers”? The losers in. a generally strong hand can easily be determined, because they represent the low. unprotected cards in the various suits. But where the losers are not so easily determined, you simply add up the playing tricks strength of the hand, which, subtracted from 13, will indicate the number of losers in the hand. Then, if the hand contains more

Sheers, nets and meshes are the choice of most of the smart young things today, we find. This one is typical. Miss Barbara Tompkins of the Theta House at I.

honor tricks than losers, you have a sound opening bid of two in a suit. Consider the following examples: In Hand A you have one loser in spades, two in hearts (the heart nine is a loser and you may reasonably expect to win only one trick with the fourth and fifth hearts), one in diamonds, and one in clubs —a total of five losers. Since the hand contains 6Vs honor tricks (more honor tricks than losers), it justifies a sound openin bid of two hearts. In Hand B you have three losers in spades, none in hearts, two in diamonds and one in clubs, or a total of six losers. Since the hand contains only five-plus honor tricks, it can not be opened as a two-bid. and therefore calls for a one-spade bid. fConyrieht. nea Service, Inc.i

That alluring rustle that you hear when she moves about is due to the crisp black taffeta slip beneath. tt tt tt WITH its new style trends so evident in the pleated bodice it is destined to be a leader in any grand march.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX IT was another picnic—the early evening of a warm September ! day. The sun, low in the west, was a golden disc. In another half hour it would drop from sight. Long shadows had fallen on the little valley, darkening the green of trees and shrubs and the field stretching off to the left of the shallow stream. Near the water's edge the first sign of fall had appeared—gaudy patches of scarlet berries in the sumac bushes. A dozen feet from the stream a campfire smoldered. A girl was sitting on a log, watching the young man who knelt by the fire. It was Toby and Tim Jamieson. Toby wore light tan jodhpurs and a white shirt, open at the throat, the sleeves rolled up. Except for the shirt, Toby was a symphony in tan —throat and arms and face almost as richly colored as the honey shade of her hair. She finished the last bite of a steak sandwich. ‘‘lt’s amazing!” she said, smiling. “Who would ever have suspected you. Tim, of having talents as a cook?” a tt tt HE was also in riding clothes. Tim grinned. “You’ve no idea how talented I am.” “What is this—sales talk?" “It might be.” He looked up at her, but she had turned and was watching the horses, tied a little distance away, grazing. “I wish I could take ‘Happy’ with me,” Toby said, “when I go back to town next week.” “You’ll have plenty of other horses to ride.” “Yes, I know, but I like ‘Happy’. Look, Tim, how pink the sky is getting.” He rose to his feet and turned at her direction. “You’re crazy about the country, aren’t you, gorgeous?” he asked. “Yes. It’s still new to me. This is the first summer I’ve ever been in the country in my life. I’ll be sorry to leave.” “You’d be a lot sorrier if you didn’t. New York's the place to be in the fall. Best time of the year there. I always get a kick out of it. New shows openng up, new places to go, new people! The Millheim show opens next week, you know. Going to let me take you?” n tt a SHE was looking at the sunset and did not answer. “Hey!” Tim exclaimed, “didn't you hear what I said? Are you going to let me take you to the Millheim show?” “Why, yes—l guess so.” “Hm. You don't seem to be very enthusiastic!” Toby said, apologetically, “i didn’t mean it that way. Tim. I was just thinking about something else—” “I could see that, all right. Must be something important.” “No.” Toby shook her head. “I was thinking about last year, Tim. About what I was doing at this time a year ago.” “What?” “I had anew job—sitting in the window of a five-and-ten store, rolling up my hair on curlers and then taking them down again to show how the curlers worked.” “I’ll bet you had a crowd at that window! Were the curlers any good?” “I don’t know. My hair curls naturally, anyhow.” a tt n TIM laughed. “I guess that’s what you might call a story to make your hair curl.

The Darling of the Headlines. They have a dozen names for you, haveni th?y? D'you know what I read the other.day? That a movie company wants to film your life story and get you to play the lead.” “You know I wouldnt do anything like that.” “A lot of girls would break their necks for a chance. Debutantes from the so-called 'first families'—" “Well, I'd rather have my .ieck . thanks. You know I hate those things they print. Tim. And people looking at me as though I j were a freak. That’s one of the reasons I hate going back to New York.” it it it TIM said quickly. “I’ll tell you how you can get away from it.” "How?" "By marrying me. Marry me and we'll take a boat for Bali or j the South Sea Islands or Majorca. Any place you say!” He caught her shoulders, drew her toward him. "Toby, you know how I feel about you!” “But, I’ve told you, Tim—” I know. You’ve told me you've just found your father and you think stay with him. But you said that three months ago. Besides, I’m not asking you to marry me right awav—though 1 wish you would. I'm willing to w ait. All I want is your promise that you’ll marry me some day Won’t you say it, Toby?” “I can’t, Tim. Not yet.” “But you will. You might just as well, Gorgeous, because I’m going to keep right on asking you until you do!” tt o o NEW YORK in October. Crowds thronging the avenues. Shop windows glowing with rich autumn colors. Early dusk and a crisp wind from the river. Bovs and girls college-bound. Theater entrances aglow with lights. New York in October . , . Toby and Bill Brandt swung along the crowded street. “Here we are," he said, halting before an entrance. Theies still time to change your mind—” But I don’t want to change it ” “Okay.” They went inside. It was the cafeteria where they had eaten so often before, the cafeteria with the red and white checked tablecloths and the “Wednesday night specials.” Toby said, “It hasn't changed a bit, has it?” “No.” They joined the line before the steam tables, carried their trays to a table against the wall. Toby, setting out the dishes, smiled. “Do you know why I wanted to come here tonight, Bill?” tt tt tt TTE said, with mock alarm, “Now -*■ A don’t tell me that you’re going to go sentimental! You wouldn’t say it was for old time’s sake, would you?” She shook her head. “It’s the corned beef hash,” she said. "They always have it here on Wednesdays, you know. Doesn’t it look marvelous?” “Delicious. Though it’s not, if I may say so, exactly the dish for a daughter of the pampered rich. Corned beef hash is plebian, Toby.

Flavored with onions. Humming birds’ tongues is what you should be ordering." “I don't see why. I like hash. Last week I brought my father here and he’s been talking about it ever since.” “Your father isn’t a very good example of the pampered rich either, Toby. He's a regular person.” "He says the same thing about you.” a a BILL eyed her, pretending severity. "Trying to win me with flatten-, are you. Miss Hillyer? I warn you it will have no effect." She grinned. "You're such an idiot, Bill.” “Is that supposed to be more flattery? ’ "It's anything you want to call it. But, never mind. How’s the advertising business these days?” “Great!” For five minutes he talked about Amberson and Blane's latest achievement. Toby listened, now and then asking questions. This was talk of the world in which she had once lived, a world she had found fascinating. "You do like your job, don't you?" she said presently. "Better all the time. How about you, Toby? Do you ever think you'd like to be back in front of the cameras?” She shook her head emphatically. "No," she said. “And I never will be. I've seen enough of that—girls who don’t need work, playing at jobs while others who should have them go hungry. I can find plenty to do without taking work aw r ay from someone who needs it.” a tt tt “■VTOURE right about that.” He X eyed her, approvingly. Suddenly Bill said, "By the way, that little hat you're wearing is all right. I like it.” ‘‘lts an old one of Harriet’s. I had one she liked, so we traded.” is Harriet?” “She looks grand. That month in Plainsville did winders for her. Do you know what she says she s going to do? She wants to have Aunt Abigail’ Dinwiddie come down here and she says she's going to give a party for her.” “I hope she comes. If I'm not invited to that party. I ll crash it.” •'You’ll be invited, all right.” Suddenly Toby's face sobered. "That reminds me,” she said, “of something I was going to tell you, Bill. It isn't supposed to be known yet, out I wanted to tell you—” He looked up, waiting. “It’s about a wedding.” Toby said slowly. "You're going to be invited to a wedding. Bill.” (To Be Concluded) “Folly and Farewell” starts tomorrow.
