Hands to pass a holiday
Charles Goren

A little work is fitting for a long Labor Day weekend, so I offer you a summer bridge quiz. No ultramodern conventions are involved. Sound, simple bidding will produce a satisfying score for you. If your total is 60 or less, brush up on your game. If it is 70, you can hold your own in most company. A total of 80 means you will do well anywhere. If you get a perfect score, why don't you call me sometime?
