By W. E. McKenney
When holding'a strong six-card Bult and a good · four-eard · suit, how should those two suits bel shown in the bidding in the con- structive one over one system 7
The answer is simple-always make a constructivo bid wherever you have any additional values to show. The re-bidding of your own suit is not exactly tormed as A sign-off bid, but simply showa; additional length in that suit, while the bidding of another suit quickly gives partner a picture of your hand.
One more thing I want to warn you about-don't let honours influ- ence your bidding. 'It is fine, if you find that you havo game in two suits, to play the hand at the sult in which there, are honours; but in the course of the bidding, unill you are sure of this fact, you must absolutely disregard. those honours,
