‘Opponents If You Use ‘Special’ Conventions In Play

. IN MY LAST article I answered what I am Sure was a tongue-in-cheek letter from a Cincinnati reader about a special convention adopted by her husband and male partner against her and her partner. + _ However, I have had any number of serious letters about conventions and signals in canasta. Any play that is meant to convey a definite message to your partner is a convention or signal, ; It is perfectly proper to use any convention or signal you think good provided that your opponents are told about it in advance and provided that it is

based on the actual play made, not on the manner of making the play. ’

left in his hand. i : ; With one eight left in his hand he would have put the joker down second, while if he held no more eights, the joker would have hit the table last. This convention would not be permissible even if the opponents were Informed in advance, since it depended on the manner in which the play was made, not on the play itself. : Here is an example of a convention that is somewhat similar to the above, but is perfectly proper if it has been announced to the opponents in advance. . » »

YOU NEED 120 and meld it from your hand. Your

meld of the joker with the low pair, rather than with

’ the aces.

Of course, one weakness of such a convention would be that the information given to the opponents would help them more than it would help your partner.

= . s » =” HOWEVER, you might want to be able to tell your partner that you could go out provided he could give you a base for a canasta. You could use this convention for that purpose. Incidentally, I give that as an example of a convention I would never recommend.

For one thing, the situation would happen so

seldom that the player who was making the meld:

If we told him he must be educated, but mustn't use his brain to think for himself? If we kept telling him over and over that he was messing up his own life and the lives of his wife and children? If he didn’t break his neck to please Mama she would probably find consolation with some dumbbell willing to convince her of how wonderful she really was? Please tell us what would happen then, Mr. Robert Ruark, in one of your sarcastic articles.

Beauty After 40—

| Mask Treatment Aids Skin

By EDYTH THORNTON McLEOD :

YOUR AFTER-40 face often shows lines and wrinkles before it is really time for those conditions to develop. In such cases they are caused by excess.dtyness and bad circulation, because, as we come closer to the physical changes in the system, the oils in the skin tend to decrease. . 5 It's up to you to give your skin daily care and a once-a-week
