Of course, the naming of three suits is very rare, but the example is given to show that the bidding
must continue until the final dec- laration is game-going contract.
The principal difference in the two bids is that the original bid- der, when making a forcing suit bid of two, Is prepared to allow his partner to become the declarer-in other words, his hand can safely become the dummy at a no trump contract and even, possibly, at a quit that may be named by partner.
However, when making an oriġi
An original auft bid of two is mado en a hand containing five or six high card tricks, but even thisnal forcing suit bid of three, the number of quick tricks is not sufe ficient if more than three of the smaller cards are losers.
original bidder makes the state- ment that he desires to be the de- clarer on this hand and that he has no desire to play the hand at a no trump contract. This is an im- portant point to bear in mind when employing these two bids.
There are indeed few hands in a year's time that meet the strong requirements of this bid, and when in doubt as to whether the hand meets these requirements, it is my The most abused bid nt contract advice either to open the hand with bridge to-day is the forcing two two no trump, if it will meet those bid. The majority of experts who requirements; or one no trump, to-day use and advocate the forcing which shows very strong hand; two bid in connexion with the one over one system find only rare op- portunities to employ this forcing original bid.
or one of a suit, as partner will keep the bidding open with as little as a trick in one hand with at least a bid of one no trump.
An original sult bid of two shows a power-house hand with no more than three losing cards, and a hand that can go down and become the dummy.
An original game domand sult bid of two requires partner to make a bid even though his hand la brick less and places an obligation on both him and the original bidder It not only demands that partner to keep the bidding open until the keep the bidding open, but places final contract is at least a game- an obligation upon both partners going declaration. There are two to keep the bidding open until the types of responses-one is known final declaration is a game-going as a positive response and one as contract, even though partner's a negative response. The negative hund is trickless- response is two no trump and is
made with a trickless hand.
An exaggerated example is as follows: The original bid is two
The positive response is either a hearts. Holding less than a trick, suit bid or a bid of three no trump, the proper response in two, no To make this positive response, trump. The original bidder then partner is required to hold either bids three diamonda. an ace or one and one-half high card tricks.

Make this Christmas one to remember. Start Meeenno model-building, the most enthralling hobby in the world for boys! Meccano models are real engineering models in miniature, built with real engineering parts. Even the smaller Outfits will build hundreds of models. For instance, the No. 1 Outfit, is accompanied by a Manual of Instructions that shows how to build 573 different models-realistic working models of Cranes of all kinds, Aeroplanes, Motor Cars and etc. Think of it a new model every day for more than eighteen months. Even then the posities of the Outnt, are far from exhausted, for you can invent scores of other modela quits easily and build them up on correct engineering principlea.
