PETER RABBIT XS i' DISAPPOINTED

Ken those in trickery well schooled May be It times completely fooled. -Old Mother Nature.

It win some time since Peter Rabbit, had paid Johnny Chuck A cell. Peter had been too busy else- where. In the spring and summer more are so many things to see, and so many places in go, that Peter sometimes wislics he could be in half a dozen places at the same time.

Peter suddenly took ii inin his head to run over to Johiiuy Chuck's new house on the pace oi the Old Pasture, the one he had watch- rd Johnny dig. Before leaving the dear Old Briar-patch, he made sure there was no immediate danger. Then away he went, lipperty. lip- perty. lip. over to the edire or the Old Pasture.

There is reason to suspect that thousands or bridge players have been "oversold" by quasi-nuthob ities on the subject of adequate trump support. They have had. it drummed into them that they need four supporting irirmps for an im- mediate raise, and the consequ- ence is that even when partner reblds his suit the responder ieeis that he still requires at "least, three trumps for support. The inc: of the matter is. however, that two- oard support such as A-x, K-x or even Q-x is often quite adequate

Many readers will be shocked nt being told that North should have raised southls hearts in this deni, but ihni, nevertheless, was the case. North's rebid of his own spade suit was not nearly iis construc- tive or iniaginntlve as this heart raise would have been, after South confirmed heart length by his own rebid. It can be seen at A glance that South had nothing approach- ing it jump rabid, yet, because of the soildiiylng effect of North": king-Jack of hearts. the combined hands had an excellent chance for game.

I: North chose to take an ultra- conscrvative view of the situation, hr could pass in two hCRl'l.S; but

decidzd to keep going, the heart raise certainly had more to re- commend it than the spade rehid.
