COOK-COOS By Ted Coo
THE LAY OP THE LAST AUCTION-PLAYER
I cannot play the bridge ,
game
I learned when I was
young,
For everyone’s gone contract
And they speak a foreign
tongue.
Where “Pass a club” means
“Got ’em stopped,”
Or “Doubled adverse
spades”
(They've taken bridge and
crossed it
With a species of charades);
And doubling—on the sec
ond round—
Means “Trumps are not
divided,”
Or “Bid a slam in dia
monds”—
They haven’t quite de
cided ;
While Vanderbilt conventions
Reappear in strange dis
guise
This world it certainly all
a-flutter with romance. Mr*.
| Simpson and the King! Peggy
Joyce and Professor Jackson 1
America's Sweetheart and Buddy
Rogers!
. A proper climax would he an
affair between Herr Hitler and
Mae West.

“I’m only a Thursday night
cook, but a good one. And
even at that, there aren’t
many Thurs
day night«
when 1 go do
mestic. But
when 1 do.
the pots fly, the dishes rattle
and the neighbors wonder at
the din.”
—Ginger Rogers, actress.
Simile from Nam Reuak—
Scarce as the clams in a bowl
ad chowder.
That Mr. Vanderbilt himsi
Would never recognize.
With rules of eight, four-fi
No Trump,
And counts of two ai
three,
One-oven-one is still a dee]
Dark mystery to we.
(Thus vainly his apostles
Have intoned to nte re
teelly
The Gospel of the forcing l
According to St. Ely 1
Though the garop scores r
to hundreds,
I go set by thousands mo
And need astronomic table
When I figure up the see
So, I cannot, play the c
game—
And I cannot pay the r«
I make a fourth at Ct
tract
At a fourth of a cent.
