WARNING

Business Houses are hereby warned that all payments in con nection with the 1941 edition of The Hong Kong Dollar Directory should be made at the Offices of the publishers, through the post or by chit book.

Note also that East is quite an- xious to take his Ace of hearts exactly when South plays his last heart. In such a situation, West must play his lowest heart if he holds. exactly three cards in the suit; but some heart other than his lowest if he holds either two or four hearts. Since East held: the deuce, he knew that. West's heart three was his lowest; hence that West held three hearts, and South only two...
