Therefore, the questions fre- quently asked by players who havo just taken up the one-over- one are: how do you bid for game? When do you know that your partner will not pass your res- ponse? How do you stop before arriving at game if there is no game in the hand?

Why? Because you could have passed. Now as long as you do not eleet to pass, your bid, must be constructive. In other words, you state to partner, especially when bidding first or second hand, that you have the foundation on which to build for game or con-

Let is assume that you hold an equal of two queens-or a king and a queen. These may be just what your partner needs to enter your hand and take a finesse in order to establish a suit. Or he may have a two-suit hand and the second suit that he will name will fit your hand better.
The estimates were approved upon the motion of the Treasurer Mr. P. E. Barker and of Rev. G. T. Waldegrave, after further discus- ston.
You should make what is termed in this system as a "sign-off" bid. In other words, bid one no-trump. This bid says to partner, "My hand may contain nothing but a

After a sign-off bid, partner proceeds at his own peril and even though he makes another con- structive bid, you are not forced to respond unless he gives you a jump shift foreing bid..
For example: if partner bids one heart and you reply with one no trump, signing the hand off, the partner now bids three dia monds-you would be forced to respond. To bid either one of these suits now would not "be showing additional strength but would be simply showing a pref-

Summing up to-day's article, we find that all original bids are constructive. That the three sign off bids are, first, a pass; second, the responding to partner's bid with one no trump at the first op. portunity, and third, the simple support of partner's suit, for ex- ample, one heart, two hearts.
