The Bidding.

At contract, South the dealer would pass while he has a long

heart suit, he does not have the re- quired two and one-half defensivo tricks to open the bidding, West would likewise pass. North would bid, one club. Enst would pass and South one heart. This is a One over One, and the bid of one heart requires partner. to bid again although it does not promise game. West, would now bid ono spado,

North should go to two clubs, East would bid two spades, South three hearts, West pass, and North four hearta,

The Play.

West has the opening lead and king when holding ace king, the

of spades is led to shows the aco Enst plays the encouraging nine and West continues with his ace of spades which South trumps with the deuce of hearts. A small heart is led to dummy's queen and the three of hearts returned. The declarer should not take the finesse' -with three swings and eight trump in sight, It is best to try for a break-therefore South wins the trick with the ace of hearts, West shows out discarding the deuce of ipados.

Declarer now plays the five of diamonds, putting on the jack from dummy, Baat wins the trick with the ace and returns the queen of spadea which South trumps with the eight of hearts, A small Hamond is now led by declarer and won in dummy with the nine spot. Declarer plays his ace and king of clubs, and when East's queen falls, on the second trick, he should not make the mistake of continuing with clubs from dummy or East will discard his seven of diamonds. His proper play from dummy is the king of diamonds first and then the jack of clubs. If East discards the lack of spades, declarer will dis- card the queen of diamonds, while if East trumps with the nine of hcarte, declarer will overtrump with the ten of hearts, pick up West's jack with his king and then play his good queen of diamonds.

Decinrer has made what is chown as a simple coup play which gives him five odd.
