CONCEALING STRENGTH
by Ely Culbertson.

"Concealng strength in a euit (opened against a netrump con- tract with a view to discouraging a shift to another suit is one of the badges of expert play worn by very few," writes Mr. Carl S. Uhrig of Pittsfield. Mass., in sub- mitting the hand below. He adds that one explanation of the fact that such concealment of strength is rare is that it violates in many (cases the wooden principle of us- ually allowing the Opencing trick to run to the closed hand.

Archbishop's Advice To Married.
|NOT ENOUGH CONSIDERATION
London.
The Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Lang) is a bachelor, but he has just given some good advice to husbands and wives.
The Archbishop was preaching at Sandgate Parish Church, near Folkstone,
He said that there were many influences at the present time changing and breaking the unity of their homes. The time had come, however, when their home life must be built on principles of mutual considerateness-considera- tion for the right expectations and wishes to others rather than them- selves.
Husbands too often seemed to expect everything from the wife, assuming that the home had to be regulated entirely in accordance with their comforts and con- (venience, and very seldom let the wife see that what she was doing was appreciated, by leaving un- spoken words of gratitude or affec- tion.
In their relationships to their husbands, Dr. Lang said, he some-
