ETIQUETTE OF WHIST.
The following rules belong to the established Etiquette of Whist. They are not called laws, as it is difficult—in some cases impossible—to apply any penalty to their infraction, and the only remedy is to cease to play with players who habitually disregard them:
Two packs of cards are invariably used at Clubs; if possible, this should be adhered to.
Any one, having the lead and several winning cards to play, should not draw a second card out of his hand until his partner has played to the first trick, such act being a distinct intimation that the former has played a winning card.
No intimation whatever, by word or gesture, should be given by a player as to the state of his hand, or of the game.
