MURDER PLOTTER

A PRETTY CHINESE WEDDING

Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith officiated at the marriage of Miss Katherine Kam-Sheung Lee to Mr. Ben- jamin Kwal-Lau Lui at the Re- gistry of the Supreme Court yes- terday.

The reception, which was at- tended by a large number of.

held friends and relatives, was ht afterwards

the Gloucester Hotel. A Guard of Honour was provided by the 7th Hong Kong (King's College) Troop of which the bridegroom is an instructor.

The bride, a daughter of the late Mr. Lee Cheung Hing and Mrs. Lee, was given away by her uncle Mr. Lee Tse Ming. She wore a gown of white French lace, cut on princess lines, and a tiara of orange blossom to hold in place her long tulle veii, She had a bouquet of Easter Lilies.

The bridesmaids, Miss Dorrie Lee and Miss Nancy Lui. wore sky blue and mauve tulle dresses with full skirt, nigh waist, velvet rib- bon trimmings and Juliet caps to match. Their bouquets were

of mixed spring flowers.

The bridegroom, who was sup- ported by his brother. Mr. Her- bert Lul, and the bride's brother, Mr. Buddy Lee, is the son of Mr. Lui Wai Chau of Messrs. Lo & Lo, and Mrs. Lui, and had only recently returned from Europe

or A

If East took the first trump trick and returned a third round of hearts, South would undoubtedly discard રા club

diamond (whichever he could best spare) rather than ruff again. And then dummy would be void of hearts and would still have a trump to take care of a fourth heart lead. So East would be unable to make and South ruff another heart, South would therefore make his contract.

Having made this analysis, East refused to win the first round of trumps. The Jack of spades. was then led from the dummy, and this time East could gladly take the trick. For when he led a third round of heart, it did South no good to discard a club instead of rufling. There were no trumps in the dummy, so if South failed to ruff the third round of hearts, the defenders could lead hearts until he did ruff. The second ruff re- duced South to the point where he had fewer trumps than West, and resulted in a two-trick set.
