West pass, North one diamond, Enst one heart.
South passed-even though he. held two aces-due to the fact that his partner had made a third hand bid, which might be very weak, West passed.
North then bid two clubs. The howing of a second suit assured South that partner held a real hand. East passed and South then bid two spades which North carried to four.
The Play,
The opening lead in every ease was the four of hearts, which was won by South, the declarer, with the ace. He immediately led the teu of clubs and here is where the interesting point came in.
If East wins the first club trick with the king, there is no possible way of stopping the declarer from making six odd. Some players made the mistake of taking the king of clubs.

Where East refused to take the king of clubs, it takes skilful play The bride, who was given away on the part of the declarer to make by her father, was charmingly at-
