JACOBY on BRIDGE
Enst had a most unappetising hand with one redeeming fen- ture. It did haki one honour- the ten of spades.
Most players when they hold such a enflection of trash pay no attention to anything except to get on to the nextdout and some better cards but this Eazi used that ten spot to tremendous act- vantage.
South won the opening trump lead in his own hand and promptly led the three of clubs, West's lun forced dummy's king and a second elula was played.

Mrs Kennedy, who is expect. ing her second child in Novem- ber, pointed to her necklace and said quielly: "Fake pe.ris."
I have been considering the just-published odvice of Howard Ketchum, a New York "colour engineer" and an adviser on "colour and its powers of persuasion." His most profound pronouncement, to my mind, is that "magenta gelatine shades placed over powerful (1,000 wait) lights at a dinner party have an affect equal to two martinis and à plass of cham- pugne,"
If that's not an economy note to all hostesses, what is?
"The light cast stems to create the same level of exhilaration," says Mr KetchuITI.

Would a spoeding roadster in black, blue, or green leave you calm and comparatively disinterested?
