TUSITALA POR 1928 - Feazfzzfet BRIDGE AS IT SHOULD BE PLAYED I. Pick up your cards as dealt. You will be ready to bid ahead of the others. II. If your hand is rotten, mention it. It will guide your partner in bids and plays. III. If your partner bids first, donlt hesitate to raise, he'll play, not you. IV. Never hurry. Try several cards on a trick before you finally decide. V. Don,t show lack of interest when you are dummy. Help out your partner with suggestions. VI. When you are dummy walk around, look at the other players' cards, and tell them how many tricks they can make if they play right. VII. Feel free to criticize your partner. He will do better as a result. VIII. Always trump your partner's tricks. Never take a chance. IX. When holding a rotten hand expose it in horror and demand a new deal. X. Eat caramelsg they will keep the cards from skidding. XI. As dummy, look into adversary,s cards-and say, All tricks are good . Your partner will then know that what was a doubtful finesse will work. THE POETIC SHOE SALESMAN LYNNA KANTOR Yes, madam, velvet slippers, triple A, French heels with straps and buckles both, you say? No, we have no black, but I'll show you some nice brown, Too large? Well, surely, madam, you needn't frown. A lower instep? I'll go and see. fThis woman will drive me crazy.j Suppose we try the shoe-horn, that may help a bit, Yes, lady, I am really sure they fit. . You'd like to think it over and then come back again? Oh, that's perfectly all right, we don't mind the pain. In about an hour because you live quite near? QAn hour, that's my lunch time, thank goodness, I won't be here., Min Hzmter fin European History Classj: Ruth, what places did the American Army conquer, during the World War? Ruth Back: Uh-uh-No Man's Land! Page Sixty-Nine
