Little Joe Otter practices what he preaches. There is something Very, very wrong with I day in which he doesn't have some whole- ome fun. His fun is not the kind hat main other people uncomfor- able; it is truly wholesome fun. tong. long ago, when the world was young, Little Joe' grandfather tinny times removed. discovered the value of play and, of course, play is fun. so, ever since, the Otter (oi: have been playful folk.

"What do you say if we go slid- ing?" said Little Joe to Little Too- Smart, the young Fox he had met beside the pool in the brook over near the foot of the Great Mountain

Little Too-Smart looked puzzled. He was puzzled. He hadn't the least idea what sliding was. He didnlt like to let Little Joe know that he didn't know.

"It you please," said he, "I think I won't do it today."

Little Joe Otter's eyes twinkled He knew that the little Fox didn't know what sliding was. "It is fun,' said Little Joe. "Don't you think so?"

"I'll watch you," said Fox, pretending he hadn't the question.

"You better join me." said Lttlr Joe. "It is a lot more fun when two slide than when one slides a- lone. Come on and try it! The wa- ter'.s fine!"

The little Fox squirmed uneasily He wanted to please this new friend of his, but he hadn't the least idea what Little Joe was talking about.

He walked back and forth along the top of the steep bank, looking it over. Then he squatted along the edge and looked down into the water below.

The little Fox walked a few steps nciirer and sat down once more Lillle Joe seemed to be paying him no attention wliatcver. but all the time he was watching out of the corner of an eye. He continued to sit and stare down into the water Little Too-Smart walked ii few more steps. and sat down again.

The little Fox forgot everything but his curiosity. Had his new found friend slipped and fallen in? He rushed to the edge of the bank. and looked down. All he saw was a series of circles that grew wide: on the surface of the water. Littlv Jno Otter was nowhere to be seen The rippling circles reached the other shore, and the water was smooth once more.

you'd had the spade ace, as I had '. every right to expect." East said i "I could have riilfed a spade to beat the coiitri-ici."

It is true that West was aggressive in bidding three spades over three hearts. but was East's fault ex- clusively that the outcome was so costly. The logical development of Exist-West bidding was virtually blocked by East's absurd pass on the first round. East planned. of course. to do a great deal of bidding later but the efiert of his pass was to plant ii. mistaken idea in West": mind. Thus, West was reconciled to stepping aside when South made the Jump bid of two hearts, but when East then competed with three clubs, West had a faint ray of hope. His three-spade call over
