And so we put the Trial by Fashion question to the McCollums: What would you, Miss Withers, like to wear and what would you, Mr McCallum, like to see your wife weuring-nt a garden party?
A honey dress and honey shoes
Google thought again about the weather, and made her choice: A lace-over-organza dress in a honey colour, with vaguely bout-shaped neckline, fitting bodice, and very full skirt.

He chose the simple white cotton dreas with a criss-crossed raised pattern of grey-blue that you see on the left. It has a low neck-line, nipped-in waist and full skirt of unpressed pleats.
ROBB sums up; "Both designs are most attrac- tive. Google has chosen a style which suits her and has the right amount of glamour for a Aim star.

the East player was too cautious to leave any- thing to chance. Fearing (quite wisely) that South would not be able to read the meaning of the three of clubs, East over- took with the noe.
East then returned a club to make sure of defeating the con- tract. West continued with the clubs, taking five tricks to set the contract four! The differ- ence between the two defences amounted to 1,840 points.
