Every once in a while you are con- fronted by a situation from which there is no escape.” What must you do? The following hand _ illustrates our meaning. Study it carefully. You will learn nothing from it, but it will pass away the time, and you can quote me as an authority. Hearts are trumps. A, B, Z and X are playing. You are Z. B has the lead. Arrange all the cards in the deck in four equal parts and then allot them to the different players. Some teachers tell what cards are in each hand. This with me is unnecessary. Any old cards will do. Now we will begin. B leads the Q. S and A, who has been expecting just such a play (as B winked twice) puts on his 2 S, and the trick goes to X with the K. X then follows with K D and takes four tricks in succession, after which B finishes his J C and runs out the game. Now it is obvious that if X had 2404 lead the remaining heart, he would have captured the remaining tricks, because, by leading through his left hand opp. nent’s ten-ace, he could easily have made the spades. Why did he not do. this? And he has always been a good player, Many beginners fail to see the value of the cards. That is where they fail.

Brown smiled in a superior fashion “My dear fellow, that’s nothing,” he said. “One day two men were wor! on a church steeple in my city and su denly one of them slipped. A terrible death would been his, only for- tunately a spectator had the of mind to call the fire brigade on the telephone, and they came just in time to catch him in a blanket.” —Detroit Free Press. rival cities, our fire brigade,” said have presence AHappy Marriage Depends largely on a knowl edge of the whole truth about self and sex and their relation to life and health, his knowledge does not come intellizently of itself, hor correctly from ordinary, every-day sources, SEXOLOGY (Mustrated) by William MH.
