his hand with an expression of delight or dismay 

 (as the case may be), and proceeds with what is 

 called the " Declaration of Frumps." 



2. The Declaration of Frumps. — In " Sunday 

 Bridge " the pack is divided into five suits, and 

 the declarations can be classified under the 

 following headings, each of which possesses a 

 different value: 



Value per 

 Trick. 



Babes {i.e., photographs of infants under the age 



of fifteen) .. .. .. ..2 



Cubs (photographs of male persons over fifteen) 4 

 Damsels (photographs of females over fifteen) 6 

 Herds (photographic groups of two or more 



persons) . . . . . . . . 8 



Royals (photographs which represent or in- 

 clude members of the Royal Family) . . 9 



It is also permissible for a player to declare 

 No Frumps when he holds a good all-round hand 

 of sufficiently hideous photographs. In this 

 case each trick is worth twelve. 



3. Honours. — In the Babe suit any photo- 

 graph of an infant in long clothes or in no clothes 

 at all counts as an honour. In Cuhs, Damsels, 

 Herds, and Royals, all photographs of persons 

 in uniform, evening dress, ot fancy costume, count 

 as honours. In No Frumps all portraits *of 

 persons over eighty years of age, or groups of 

 more than eighty individuals, are known as 

 " Aces " and count as honours above the line.
