SHEPARD BIDDING SYSTEMS Ballyhoo may change novice* oi unthinking players from one system of bidding to another, without In the least benefiting anyone except the one bally booed, and a few who seize the excuse for writing a new book. As a matter of practical fact, all well-known systems of bidding are about equally efficient. I have to play all of them tn the various clubs where fancy differs, and every sen rthie teacher gives clients what they desire in the way of instruction. The beet system for you is the one best understood by yourself and your partner. It is well to understand all popular systems, so that your op ponents’ meanings may be clear, even It you wish to play only one system. For some time the majority of club and tournament players of New York have favored the ‘one-over one” system. For the past few months the trend has been to modify this system into the “suit-over-suit” •rstem. 1 think that the latter is more logical, and somewhat suf>erlor Ml holding down bidding until part »ers decide upon their best final call. Opening Bid* To be thoroughly modern and aound. under any system of bidding, »n opening bid requires 214 Quick tricks and cards worth five probable tricks. Unless a powerful two-sulter to held, or a suit requiring pre-emp tion, do not bid a suit lacking some quirk trick strength on the side. Re serve such holdings for secondary bids. Although all do not agree. I pre- 1 fer bidding no-trump on a hand hav- I Ing some strength in at least three ■ suits, if the division between suits i Is 4-S-3-3.

He paused, then: "It was a case of bad marks manship.” She sank back into her chair and her hands dropped hopelessly into her lap. She dosed her eyes and rested her head against the high back. After a moment: "What are they going to do with Larry Weldon?" she asked, without otM''ning her eyes. "That Is entirely up to you," he told her. She looked p.t him. “He was not entirely responsible for what he did," in %n unimpassioned monotone. "He is so high-strung." “Would you like to see him?” "1 ‘leaee " Kane went into the outer office and asked Sergeant Henry to have Wel don brought down from hia cell. Then he returned to the actress aaid they waited In silence until the man came In. Weldon shuffled uneasily Into their presence. He was disheveled. Great pouches were under his eyes. His sallow complexion only served to accentuate Ida drab appearance. He looked at Lucy Wilbur with shifty eyes. Ills lips moved, then: Tin sorry. Lucy,” softly. “Won’t you forgive meT’ She arose, went to his side and slipjied her arm about his shoulders. “You knoev I have already you.

Then you ean go home.” Weldon and the woman sat down. Under questioning they told of be ing summoned by Bailey to discuss a new picture Weldon said thst the director quarreled with them — not a set ions quarrel, he added hastily— over the various roles, but that In the end all was settled amicably. He told of Nanette's visit just as they were leaving. “Outside. Lillian left us," he ex plained. “We wanted to drive her home, but she lived only* a few blocks away, down on Highland ave nue. and wanted to walk. Lucy and 1 decided to go for a short drive. We motored over Cahuenga Task, out to the Kennett studio, and then returned to town. “As we reached Hollywood boule vard we heard the newsboys shout ing something about the murder of a famous director.

The out-door Christmas tree move ment will be sponsored again this year by the club. A beautiful book, l “The Natural Gardens of North Car olina” has been written by Dr. ( 'Welsh of State College, and the club is placing one of these books in the Perry Library in memory of Mrs. J. H.

B. Mills. The program dealt wlih by athletics and thus took up the first physical development as brought out topic on the year's theme, which is the well balanced development, of the child. Mr. Dees explained the fact that there is a tendency among edu cators to emphasize physical develop. tack on Lucy at her mention of Nanette Lelioi He remembered Lil lian Hull’s impassioned story of the events of the night, which, he ad. mltted to himself, coincided In most of the details with this story of Wc|. don’s. Hut one thing puzzled him. so: "Why did you attack—er—Miss Wilbur last night?’’ Weldon flushed and looked sheep ishly at his former wife. “I—] *ns infatuated with her," he said guiltily. "1 didn't want her name brought into this affair." ‘There isn’t a man In Hollywood who isn't al her feet." Lucy Wilbur flashed. ’‘She's a .serpent." 'That’s true enough.” Weldon added, “There Isn’t a man in Holly, wood who wouldn’t kill for her ’’ But that waa all. He clamped hi* lips together until they were white. Alarmed by what he had said In an unthinking moment, he cast a be seeching glance at the actress. He wanted her to say something quick ly, to cover up. Kane saw her grow tense, saw her eyes distend, saw the color mount to her cheeks. Her hands clenched un til the nails bit Into the palms. It was with the utmost effort that sh# kept silent. He said quietly, "You two hail l>et. ter go home and get some rest.” They could not-get away too quick ly. They hastened from the office. Going to a window, he saw them down in the street look undecidedly about then turn toward Hill street. Then they were lost to sight. He consulted the watch which he wore on his wrist. It was just IS o’clock. Perhaps a bit of lunch, (hen to the hotel to get the coroner's re port. He was about to leave when Sergeant Henry walked In. “You wanted a report on some actresses;’’ he aaid. “I have it here." He handed a long sheet of paper to the other. Kane took it and glanced down the list. The Impor tance of the women whose names weTe written there startled him. Bach of these women, he had l*een told, had been stalled on tbe road to fame and fortune by the handi work of Richard Bailey. If that waa true he was indeed a star-maker. "What a shame." he muttered, "that a man like that should have to come to such an end." Once more he went through the list but found little other than some facts which might have been choice morsels for gossips, to interest him. One of these stars waa In Europe to get married. Another was on a beach party at Malibu which had been In progress for three days. Another was in Wyoming on loca tion. Still another was in New Y-ork. And so on throughout the list But that he was satisfied with the remits of this investigation was indi cated by his smile of contentment and his next self-addressed remark: "At least, I Mill have my six characters Id this drama." He took hla hat and went out, tell ing Henry that he would be at Bbtiey's bungalow that afternoon, should he be wanted. He found a quiet side street case, had luncheon attd then returned to tbe hotel. Promptly at one o'clock the tele phone rang. When he answered the coroner's voice crackled over the tell*: “You were right. Mr. Kane. Rich ard Bailey was shot with the gun pressed against hts head. I found that hadleott condition.” fMMIIIQKffIifIH PAGE FIVE trmmm booieth* AraOUXCEMEHTS Only One Armhole W i ■ - - i C-.
