To show you that amazing things happen at the bridge table, even in the best circles, I give you today’s hand. It was played in the 1954 World Championship team-of-four match between America a-nd France. The names shown are those of the actual

players.

The hand is also a part of my campaign against opening weakish hands where most of the high 1 card strength and suit-length is

in the minor suits.

A KFX OMMKNDATION I would recommend a pass on the South cards. Mr. Bishop liked the hand. It appears that he liked it more and more as the bidding progressed. On the fifth round he fell completely in love with it, to the extent of redoubling three no trump. He got a .spade opening, found the king of clubs wrong and went down two. When the French players held the North-South cards they got into a better rontrart, five clubs. However, they managed to go down three at that bid. undoubled. which obviously wasn’t easy. Of course, I realize that one hand doesn't prove anything. But if you will keep a record of jour results when you open mini-

His hostess had talked incessantly throughout the performance. Finally she gush--d—“’Oh dear Mr. Clemens, I do hope you will join us next Friday. The opera will be ‘Tosca. ’’ Twain replied. “Chamied, I'm sure. I’ve never heard you in that.” John Barrymore was fleeter with verbal riposte than at remembering lines. In a shop once, after buying haberdashery he tossed off his address and was 'eaving when the clerk asked lis name. “Barrymore,” growled the irritated actor, making for the door. “Which Barrymore?” continued the clerk. “Ethel,” Barrymore snapped.

Once wed to actor Louis ?alhcm. whose wives were numbered in the jilural, M ss Chase— sc the story goes sent her own former calling cards to her successor Mrs. Louis Calhem. “Dear Julia,” read Ilka’s o»rd “I hope these reach you in time.” The painter Whistler (who Oscar Wilde said spelled Art with a capital I) was handed a thin sheet of paper by Wilde, on which was a poem he had composed. “D’you see any worth in it?” demanded the author. “Yes,” said Whistler. "I’d say it was worth its weight in gold.” But today those with the gift erf repartee are on television— their own shows, of course. The rest of us? We just sit and laugh.

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, a new job —all are occasions for rejoicing as well as for reflection and new resolve. Whether or not a list of resolutions is made, the accomplishments of the past can be either a hitching post or a signpost to a brighter future. Careful self-apprai-al is often as revealing as a stock inventory. But no matter what the goal, the ability to reach it depends on health. Your physician stands ready to take your physical inventory at any time. Why not seek his advice now? His suggestions can be relied upon for a sound health program. Registered pharmacists are on duty at all times to fill your prescriptions.

Repartee As An Art Is Now Disappearing By Margaret La t robe Repartee is a verbal facility we hear plenty about second or third hand. We seldom hear it ourselves, though, and the reason for that is that nobody repartees anymore. Everybody has become too good-natured, too affable, too eager to please the hostess to get ugly with the verbiage. We all want to be invited oaek so we don’t rip into the few wellchosens. Hence, the art of repartee is fast falling into limbo, wherever that is. Ilka Chase once said that
