"These babies are wearing coil- ars and the big Snake isn't wearing one," said Mrs. Peter.

Peter blinked and stared at the little snakes. Sure enough, around each little neck was a tiny golden band. 'Ilhere was no doubt about it, eaoh had a golden collar. Then he looked at the big Snake, she she had no collar at all. She couldn't possibly be their mother.

Assume that West. diaiaining his anemic iour-card suits, opens the spade ten against the t”hree-not- rump contract, and assume further that when the queen is played. East logically holds up his ace. merely giving approval with the eight-spot.

It declare: works on the idea. that he should play to drop the club queen because he has nine cards of that suit in the combined hands. he merely proves that he is I slave to "rules" and unable to do in- dependent tlhinklng. After he leads to the club king and sees East's ten. he should most certainly not ioilow up with the club ace -- he should take the finesse to the club luck as an elementary safety meuaire. Let East get in with the queen. it

he can - what harm can East do? The very obvious danger is that by playing for the drop. it may be West who will get in with the club queen, and the spade continuation from his side is not to be counten- anced. l
