The error in the bidding must be charged to South. North's penalty double of one spade was perfectly proper, but South was justified in refusing to let it stand.
South's bid of two diamonds, however, was not the best choice. Such a bid indicated a red two- suiter, with
а only meagre of high-card strength. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN amount

PUBLIC AUCTION
The Undersigned have received instructions to sell by Public Auction on
FRIDAY, 28th March, 1941. commencing at 2.30 p.m. at their Sales Room, No. 85, Hankow Road, Kowloon, QUANTITY OF VALUABLE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE comprising:
CHINA LIGHT & POWER CO., LTD.
Notice To Consumers
South should have bid three diamonds to show that the hand was an excellent one despite the inability to "stand for" a double of one spade. Then North would have realised that his high cards in the black suits would guar- antec South against loss except in the red suits (for South would be marked with at least ten red cards). And the jump bid would indicate the strength of the red suits; so North might explore
Grand Slam possibilities but would make sure of getting to at
least a Small Slam.
