clubs and a mothers' encoting.

In this situation, it may be mid that there are three stages in the evolution of a bridge player.

In the first stage, he is obsessed by the maxim that you must never deceive your partner, and therefore always plays the knave.

In the second stage, he has

In the third and final stage, he plays either the queen or have erratically and without rale: and this is the only system that entirely defeats the declarer...

In stage three, he has no guidance whatever..

Thus arises a purely psychological point, for both sides. For third hand can also work upon his know ledge of the declarer. If the de-D clarer is simple-minded and un suspicious, the Queen is the card to play, for it will probably take him in. If, on the other hand, be is of La suspicious nature, very wary about falling into traps, the Knave would suit best, as it would suggest the absence of the Queen. But I need hardly add that, among good players, neither side will have the slightest indication what to do.

Another case not infrequently arises where a false card is very telling. Suppose that you have bid One Diamond on A K x x 2, and have been overbid by One No-trump on your left: your partner leads the two of Diamonds, and Dummy, has one amall Diamand. The position Pis more or less clear: your partner has four Diamonds, and the No Trump caller has a guarded Queen, possibly Q10 x. The proper card to play is the Ace, and not the King. Then lead back the small one. The declares is almost certain to finesse the 10, your partner's Kaave wins, and the suit is established without the loss of a trick. ́

The "Fourth Best " Lead.

Such situations often arise; they cannot be tabulated, for they are too varied in character. Take an other case; nearly all bridge-players are firmly obsessed with the idea that in no-trumps the lead of the fourth best is compulsors. Conven- tion has made it so; and in general it is a very useful convention. But it is obvious that it is no sort of use if your partner does not know the eleven rule and detects no differ- ence between a 2 and a 8. And if your adversaries do know the differ- ence it becomes an absurdity to lead the fourth best; it gives information to your adversaries, and none to your partner; in short it is the one

This year a great many members of the branch were entitled to rewards for long service.

The Queen had tea at the Settle ment, and congratulated the War- den (Miss Towers) and the workers on the splendid service which they rendered in Canning Town.
