Possession may not make it right But gives advantage in a fight. -ePeter Rabbit.

In the middle of the dear Old Briar-patch was a hole in the ground. It really was the doorway to an old underground home. It was partly choked with leaves that had blown in there. Bushes had grown up all around it. and bra ies had climbed over these, ma ing a tangle. That old house in the ground had not been used regularly for a long time. It had been dug by Johnny Chuck's great grand- father. When he had dug it there was only a small Briar-patch. and that home was on the edge of it. Great grandfather Chuck had gone his way. and the Briarv patch had grown and grown around the door- way to his old home. That was be- fore Peter Rabbit had come there to live.

When Peter had brought Miss Fuzzytall there was Mrs. Peter to make the dear old 'Briar-patch their home, that house in the ground hadn't been used by any one for a long time, so long that the

doorstep of sand. such as all good Woodchuck front doors have, had quite disappeared. The entrance had been partly clogged just II it was now. of course Peter had gone in to see what it was like inside.

'i1t is just as good as ever,” he had reported to Mrs. Peter.

"But. we don't want it. I mean. we don't want to live in it." replied Mrs, Peter. "I don't want to live in a hole In the ground." - I

"Of course not, my dear. Neither do I.” replied Peter. "But it may come in handy just the same."

Little Mrs. Peter had wrinkled up her nose. "I don't know how," said she.

"Fuzzy. my dear." "just think how snug and warm it will be in there in a bad snow storm in the winter..In fact, it will be a good place to be in any bad storm."

Peter had been right. They had come to look on that old house as theirs, and they had used it often in very bad weather.' Now some one else was using it. It was Jimmy Skunk, and they didn't like it a bit No, sir, Peter and Mrs. Peter didn't like it a bit. It might be that 118 W55 only planning to use it ior that day: but it might be that he was planning to stay.

Jimmy had arrived at the Old Briar-patch while Peter was away. He hadn't even asked Mrs. Peter if he might use the old house. "This ought to be a good place to spend the rest of the winter." muttered Jimmy, as he went inside. You know how independent Jimmy is.

It was shadow time when Jimmy finally poked his head out of the doorway. Peter was waiting at a respectful distance. "I hope you had a. good sleep." said Peter.

Jimmy yawned. "I did," said he. "That old house is dry, and very comfortable."

"I'm glad you like it," said Peter. Of course, he wasn't glad. he was just trying to be polite.

"I don't. know why'I didn't come over here before.” remarked Jimmy. "I like it better over here than where I have been staying."

"Then perhaps you'll oome again."

i said Peter politely.

"Who said anything about coming again? I'm here and I intend to stay," replied Jimmy, I-le.said it in a very decided way.

"Oh!" exclaimed Peter, but not very loud.

"Did you say something?" asked Jimmy Skunk.

"No," replied Peter somewhat hastily, "I was jvst a little sur- prised that you would want to stay here."

"Have,.,vou any objections?" asked Jimmy Skunk.

'No," replied Peter somewhat hurriedly. ”No. of course not. Why should I have?”

"You shouldn't have!" retorted Jimmy. "Any one has ll. right to move into an old house that isn't heing used, and I've moved into this one."

Folks who move into unused houses without asking permission are called squatters. Jimmy skunk was exercising his sqIratter's rights.

5: Josephine Clubertson Os;rOO-;frO0m WRONG DIAGNOSIS

Most players have a mistaken idea about their own bridge games - they think they play very well, even if their bidding "could. per- haps. be a little better."

The exact opposite is the case - the aver a player is tar weaker in the play him in the bidding. For one thing. he pays too large 4'

a. bad suit. break. Here is a typical illustration:

Wentdesler. Both sides vulnerable. .9353 '92 QQJD7 soar: in” " 4- oxoa N V763 mu w E, 68642 .A S ;10653 QK9 3 naxms CA5 .QK103 I QAJH Thcbidding: West North East South 19 Pass Pass .Dble. 20 Pass Pass 20 so 3; Pun to Dble. Pass Pass Plsl

south had a strong hand and uid not be blamed for persisting game. even in the face of West's strong bidding, but South's play of the doubled cdntract was little short of suicidal.

West opened the heart king. South won and, evidently feeling

double on, even with only one trick in trumps, promptly laid down the two top spades. It war a costly movei- When South then cleared the diamond suit, West drew the rest of the trumps e- and after that he could cash five heart tricks, for a 1400-point penalty.

What South should have done was to test the trump break with- out givlng up control of the vital suit. After taking the first trick. South's best and safest maneuver was to lead a low trump. He would have to lose a trump trick in any case, certainl . so why not lose it at” I. time c venient and safe to himself? West would now find his defensive power considerably cIIr- tailed. His best counter move would be to continue with the queen and jack of hearts, but dummy would ruff, allowing South to conserve his trumps, and the diamond ace would be knocked out. Now another heart lead (best) by West could be ruffed in dummy. and even if South unfortunately decided to draw trumps at this point. he would go down no more than two tricks, for a 500-point penalty.
