"Oi course. Johnny sounds glad to be here," replied Winsome.

"Probably they are more glad to be here than we are to have them here," replied Mrs. Winsome, and added, "I had hoped they would go somewhere else this year.

e There is no such thing as s. per- fect bid ior every situation that can arise. Some-times, the best a player can do is to select a call that should turn out to be "con- structive," and which will be rela- tively safe even ii it does not ac- hieve its prime objective. Such a call, in short, as North made in today's deal:

7" s-u. _~-_‘

South dealer! ,

Both sides vulnerable.

As may easily be seen, there was no defense against the three-no- trump contract, played by South. Regardless of the opening lead, South was assured oi six club tricks, two top hearts and the dia- mond ace. Actually, he made an overtrlck, since West led his fourth-highest spade. It can also be seen that any other contract, or even three notrump played itrom the Northposltion, would have been unmakable against correct deiense. There was nothing sensational about the bid-North's call o! three diamonds — which steered the partnership to the proper place. Yet, it can be fairly assumed that iew North: would produce the same bid.

When South's two-heart rebid came around to North; the latter was iaced with this difficulty: Ii he merely rebid his six-card suit, South would almost certainly pass! He had shown no disposition to take really forward action. and it was scarcely to be hoped that a three-club bid would "excite" him. North, however, _had every reason to feel that a game was in the hand — somewhere. It was tempt- ing to try- notrump on his own hook, but what about a spade stopper? South might not have a high spade-or, if he did, it might be vital to have the lead come up to him. The three-diamond bid was the best way to investigate the

"You mean the year our eggs were thrown on the ground while we were oif looking ior breakfast," said Winsome. "But, lmy dear, we don't know that they were the ones who threw those eggs out. No one actually sew them do lt."

“You may not know, but I do," retorted Mrs. Winsome. “I've heard Jenny Wren more than once say that when she is nesting she likes neighbors at a distance. ‘The same thing happened to Mr. and Mrs. Skimmer the year those Swallows had Johnny and Jenny for close neighbors. You remember the Skimmers had to move, and

"Just peeping won't do any harm. but it is upsetting. It is so. Nobody is sure that nothing worse is going to happen." Skimmer the Swallowand Mrs. Skimmer over on‘ the other side oi the Old Orchard felt the same way. As yet they had no eggs in the nest so beautifully lined with white feathers, but they would have. within a few days. They didn't dare leave together to hunt

they should ilnd that Johnny Wren had started to iill their housewith sticks and bits oi trash. It was the same way with Tommy Tit the Chickadee and Mrs. Tommy. They were sure that ii they left their house unguarded one or the other of those two little busybodies would be sure to take possession of it. They had already taken ,assession of one house with a verynarrow entrance,- too nar- row-for. any one but themselves to

But that dldnt prevent Johnny and Jennyfrom actingas if they intended to occupy all the other empty houses toojor at least keep others out oi them. Anyway, Johnny already had tilled one with little sticks, bits of wire, rusty nails and other trash. He had started to do the same thing in two other houses.

Jennry Wren had been seen neat the nest oDMr. and Mrs. Welcome Robin. Mrs. Welcome was quite upset Bhe had iive eggs in that nest, and although no one ever had touched one oi her eggs she couldn't. help worrying when she knew that Johnny and Jenny were poking about where they had no real business to be.

Being so small and dressed in brown, it was easy to slip in and out oi holes and crevices and move about in shadowy places without being seen. And they did. ‘they poked their nosy little bills into everyi-bm‘ hverywhere in the Old Orchard and around Farmer Brown's dooryard and barnyard. It is safe to say that they knew more about these than did any one else. AlLthelr neighbors had the unpleasant feeling that there was nothing secret from these two little livelyepokeabouta who were forever popping out oi the most unexpected places. '.l‘he_ whole neighborhood was upset, yet not one thing really wrong could be proved against the two small folks in brown.
