The greatest credit is due the committee and eo-workers for the. wonderful transformation. This is now one of the most. taste- ful and well-equipped of country churches. Como and see it.

Q. J . 2 .\'0 score, first game. 2 deals and passes. What is A's proper bid and the natural ? continuation of the bidding? A should ' Hid one club but with the firm intention of bidding spades on the next round if the opportunit is offered. It is appar- ently a freak and all around and if A finds five s des in an Opponent's hand and is ru ed in diamonds at once, he may not be able to make game. For that reason, one club seems the better openin bid with A's hand than one spade. Vhen A bids one club, Y is in a position where he wants to shut out my information about hearts or spades so should bid five diamonds. B is in a nosition where he can safely bid five hearts because of A's bid of one club, ihowing tops in that suit. Z must pass and A is confronted with the problem of bidding six clubs, five spades or pass- ing. Either bid is sound but the pass seems the better judgment. Next to passing, six clubs is the best bid. What- ever A does, Y should bid six diamonds. The bidding should indicate to him that A-B have an overwhelming hand and it is up to him to save the game, if possible, at the expense of not more than 200 points less his honor score. B should now bid six hearts to show A that the five heart bid was sound. 2 and A should now pass and Y, in the writer's opinion, should bid seven dia- monds. His maximum loss is 300 poir. s less 80 honors, or a net loss of 2201 points. He also has the chance that if A-B overbid with seven in hearts that he and his. partner may be able to take a trick. B should double seven diamonds and Z should pass. \\'ith A's hand, the writer would also pass. The double. of seven diamonds is a errtain profit and the lid of seven hearts is doubtful. Al- ways play the certainty l'! this position. As the cards lie, a lil (Ni seven lwarts could be defected by (it? tx'ie‘l; i" 7. would open a ( luia.

Z should pass. His partner Y wasn't even able to bid two diamonds over two clubs so must have a pretty weak hand. If 2 bids f our diamonds, he is sure to get doubled and lose at least 400 points.

When 2 looked his hand over, he thought to himself, “I can make two or three spades with this hand but no more unless my partner has a big hand, in which case we are in no danger any- way. If, however, he hasn’t a big hand, how can I get the id with this hand as cheaply as possib e. There's only one way to accomplish that, by concealing the spade strength and endeavoring to make my Opponents think I have an entirely different t pe of hand." With this idea in view, 0 ned the biddin with one heart, A bi one no-trump, bid two hearts and B bid two no-trump. Z wasn’t in a position to pass and try to defeat the two no-trump bid for his partner would surely Open hearts. 2, therefore, bid three spades, ho in; that A-B would not overbid him. s a mat- ter of fact, they doubled and here’s where Z was lucky. His partner also passed, although he held five hearts to the ace and onl three spades to the ten. He was a s arp player, however, and figured that 2 must be trying some stunt or he Wouldn't bltl three spades over two no-trunap, after he helped the heart hid, tmlc-‘r's 7. had a very good rumm, so he n «ted 7. and passed.
