An Interesting wedding was- Bolemaised according to Chinese ceremonial yesterday afternoon at the roof gardon of the Gloucester Building, when Miss Ma Choi-chun daughter of Mr. Mn Pak-leung, a well-known local merchant, became the bride of Mr. Lo Ka-kai, nephew of Mr. Lo Lok-chni.
Both families are well known in the Colony, and there was a big attendance, including many ladies, at the reception subsequently held at the roof garden.
The Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau om- ciated at the wedding ceremony.

You are not certain which is his five-card suit, but with one strong five-card suit in your hand and one in his, it is almost a cer- tainty that a slam can be made. at no trump.
If played at a suit, the trump sult will have to break, but with this type of hand it is only nec- casary to have one of the five-card suits break in order to produce a slam at no trump.
In this case the club suit lu bound to break and the declarer would have no difficulty in mak- ing hin small slam.
