West made what turned out to be an inspired opening lead, namely, the singleton trump. Usually the lead of a singleton trump is highly Inadvisable in that it is likely to pick up an honour in partner's hand that might otherwise take a trick on wrong guess by declarer. In this

If East had been "second-hand-low" school, the con- tract would have become ironclad. West would have taken the diamond trick, but then could not have re- turned a heart, and declarer would

his opportunity and, without hesita tion, put up the diamond king on dummy's singleton. The reasoning back of this was simple enough. First, it was BD odds-on chance declarer had a five-card heart

sult (witness that he had bid four hearts Instead of four spades or three no- trump) and this meant that West had no more trumps. If declarer had the diamond ace East's king would be worthless. But even if declarer did not have that card, East's king would be made worthless unless it were put to use as an entry.

Dum-

On that correct analysis East based ils ul

play of the diamond king. When it held he

he promptly shifted back to trumps, und from that point declarer had to struggle against insuperable odds. He could ruf one diamond in dummy, but this left him with two losers in the sult, and when the club finesse lost anti a heart trick had to be conceded, it was all over.

ERROL FLYNN'S

SISTER WEDS

Miss Rosemary Flynn, sister of film star Errol Flynn, after hor wedding in Malone, Belfast, to Mr J. H. S. Elliott.

Remember

Gloria Swanson?

THOSE who remember

T

Gloria Swanson at the zenith of her career, when her success in France was frout page news, would be amazed on meeting her to-day, for she doesn't look a day over 28, al- though she is the mother of three children, one of them Gloria, 20 years old.

Miss Swanson has the same trim figure. twinkling legs... gorgeous blue eyes, pert pro- file, brunette hair with just a faint touch of gray under the temples, and a smooth, flaw- less complexion. The actress has not aged at all, probably because she has refused to. This is entirely significant of her character.

Of all people, she strikes you as the most self-made person you ever came across. The daughter of an army officer, she became one of the biggest names in pictures, was the sensation of France and is now coming back to the screen in "Father Takes a Wife."

"I just wanted to go back and do one more picture," she said, "my last was so bad. This part is just right for mo."

Her New York City apart ment on Fifth Avenue is the kind of a place where a little. table in front of the soft holds, in nent array, ten very expensive ash trays, and two very simple but expensive cigarette boxes. The place is huge and probably swarms with butlers and Afth, assis- tant dish dryers. But Miss Swanson, quite correctly, feels it's all hers and she made it nl herself. Right now she la in big business, developing patents. She has a new cut- ting metal that is making londs of money. She has put a new plastic on the market and a new type of dictating machine.

Like all successful people, she is ready and eager to give a formula for a better world. "When I was a little child in school, I had the idea of an aristocracy of achievement, where people who built up the nation, who created would not only be richly 'rewarded with. material things but even with honours and titles. Where we could not inherit what others

had inado and amassed, but. where we would have to strivo. toward a goal of aclifève- ment."

The Lad from the Elephant and Castle was sitting on his bed, busily scraping at his second-best trousers with a Unthbrick,

From time to time he looked furtively about him.

Somebody asked him what he thought he was playing at, and the Lad replied:

"Ah don't

"You mind your own," says the Lail.

The Poacher smooths him out flat, like_n_sheet of brown paper, and calmly sits on him us he says:

"Ah wouldn't 'urt thee, lad. But that gets my back up, like, yon

waste of wool. Listen. Ah lived once on a time wi' old shepherd as we called Key- ked, because 'e 'ad an off-ba- lance way o' walking, like.

"Old Keyked 'ad a collie bitch called Nellic. One dirty day there was a sheep lost, and Nell, though she was near 'er time for pups, went out t’ find sheep.

"She kem back a long time later, wit' silly great sheep.

She'd found her seven mile- away on 'er back among some rocks.

"Poor Nell was thin and ill. She was dead tired and real bad. But she didn't rest for so much as a sip o' water.

"T" fifth pup was dead.

"Dost 'ee understand, lad? That bitch went through all that, and for what? To bring 'ome a sheep."

"And now, what do I see? I see a man wastin' wool---- happen it's the same wool an Nell went out to save.

"And when I see that it seems to me you're less of a man than the bitch Nell.

"And I will not stand by and see thee spoilin', out o' vanity and conceit, the stuff yon grand bitch nigh broke, 'er great big 'eart to bring 'ome."

Another man says: "I got a brother in the Navy, convoy- ing wool. Risks 'is life, 'e do, bringin' us our socks and 'punts.'

"Oh ny," says the Poacher, getting up off the Lad and stretching himself. "But gi' me a collie bitch every time.
