If the defenders take their ace too soon, declarer will be able to get to dummy's long suit. If the defenders wait too long, however, they may never get their acc.
In this situation, experts have a way of signalling. The player who does not hold the ace signals the number of cards he has in the sult. He plays his lowest card if he has exactly three cards; and he begins a high-low At he has either two or four cards.

INST call today is on ISABEL JEANS, whose flair for wearing clothes is not just a gift. It is the outcome of careful study and self-analysis. "For example," she says, "in my present play, (Oscar Wilde's' Woman of No importance') in which I wear elaborate dresses with trains, veils, and parasol-I know. without looking. exactly where the train is lying. In fact, I know exactly how I look always.“ On stage she is a lesson in elegance, deportment. Away from the stage she makes the most of her allin figure by wearing suits and dresses which give emphasis to length. She never wears a full skirt. All her clothes must be simple in greya, beige, soft browns for day-time a full range of pastels for evening.
She hates exercise, jewellery, dieting—“But I never eat bread or potatoes.." She took up singing lessons to help her speaking voice and correct her breathing, Result: It tightened her diaphragm and brought her waistilne back to an enviable 22ins.
