suits for the odd trick is not likely to be wou on trumps alone.

If a player holds two suits of nearly equal strength, it is better to call thei one of higher value first, and, if that is over-called, then the other suit. For example, with five spades and five bearts (the necessary honours being in each suit) the first calf should be one spade, and the next two (or more) hearts; if the partner. profers the spade declaration he can return to it without increasing the con- fract, as he would have to do if hearts" had been called first and it was hearts that he preferred.

Before a player makes a trump declara- tion he should ask himself." "Can I get the odil trick if the declaration is left in: can win one or two, tricks in the suit i my partner calls no trumps; do I wish the suit led to me if the opponents call no trump?" If the answer to "the three questions is "Yes," then the declaration is a sound one, unless the hand is really good enough to declare no trumps upon.

NO TRUMPS.

A sound call in spades or hearts is al ways better than à no trump declaration, but a sound no trumper is better than a call in the other two suits when the score. is love as five tricks in diamonds or claba will be necessary, to secure the game. The question of whit makes a sound na trumper is not easy," but it can be taken as a general déánition that a no trump band should be adequately protect ed in three suits, and should contain rather more than average strength in honours, these honours being sufficiently guarded. A hand guarded in only two suits is a risky no trumper, "but the risk must be run when there is a long and very strong suit in diamends or clubs and an ace for re-entry. The information con- veyed to your partner by a no trump de claration is threefold: that your hand is of more than the average strength, that you hold (except in a very special case) aguarded honour in at least three suits, and 'that you have not a hand suitable for a sound trump declaration. If any of this information is misleading the hand

is not a do trumper.
