Conventions are extremely valuable, but when followed religiously they can be a great burden. Surely no one can criticize East's double of three no trump after his partner had bid hearts.

But If, by bo doubling, East had to guarantee that a heart opening would suit him It Is obvious that he would be deprived of doubling whenever he had the other three suits controlled. 4687 246537887 AN AYOM BVSOAAP 2463582753872 SOWEIRHRSOSKW 5372648572634 I RI OWVE TWEI I 6 2 7 3 5 i 2 4 8 2 6 3 ISETALWEWI PAN 4 8 5 2 7 6 3 5 8 2 T4 (T DDDLVHMOALEAO 2.653762483526 VITI YR ATRRQNY 7283652473726 YI I 3 EORU HU am particularly happy when I can make my efforts in some 3823 N.

Numerous avenues to a rich dental life which cost nothing and make few demands are open these days to women of all ages. There are things to see, books to be read, movements to take part In.

Long, lonely hours present golden opportunity for self education. No one is too old for progress! Love Earned No one is too old, ever, to earn affection. And we, all of us, may as well make up our minds first as last that affection Is something we earn or we don't have it. We don't receive it on demand or by virtue of relationship or because we need it. We work hard for love and once we possess it we guard it with care or it's gone.

As an example of how successfully a dependent can rise above dependence, I am printing a letter from a lady who has, it seems to me, solved the problem in a way that should be an Inspiration to many In her situation. "As far back as I can remember I have had a horror of being a dependent upon my children in my old age," she writes. "Declining health and declining finances are a combination against which the wisest of us are powerless and when it became evident that no alternative was left to me but to live with my daughter-in-law, my first feeling was one of bitterness. "Finally 1 got myself in hand ana said to myself, 'You Some Points For Parents of three no trump with any great alacrity. In fact, he hesitated quite a while.

"The things for which we work hardest are those we appreciate most. Perhaps this Is why, when a few weeks ago, I heard my daughter-in-law and her friend discussing their mothers and Jane said, 'I am certainly lucky.

Bob's mother has made me dread old age less than I did. She has shown me that it is possible not to be a dependent mentally even if you are physically unable to carry on. I am going to try, when I am old, to be just like I wanted to hug my daughter-in-law. Now I feel repaid a thousand-fold for my work during these years in one of the most difficult of the arts that of being a dependent in the home The dependent who makes herself independent insofar as possible of those responsible for her, who minds her own business, who has tact and good sense is quite likely to find herself a beloved member of any household. Exactly how this is to be done is a matter governed by the capacities and limitations of the individual.

The writer of the letter above has outlined one way. Do you know of other methods which would help dependents who read this column solve their problem?

Better Opening It was all very well for West to be so "obedient" and to abide by a convention as It affects the opening lead, but It would have been a great deal shrewder for him to have put the proper Interpretation on the bidding, particularly on South's redouble of the final contract A player may "take a chance" and bid three no trump on a sketchy holding In the adversely bid suit, but when he has done so he certainly wlU not redouble on top of It. This Is not Just bridge; It Is human nature. Thus, when East showed enough strength to double the three no trump contract, and South, In the face of this double, had the audacity to redouble. I think West could have relied on one thing, If on no other, and that was that 8outh had a sure double heart stopper.
