"Well-I dont like either." replied M.rs. Peter. "I've heard."

she continued, "that some snakes eat their own children. Llve heard that Snake mothers have no love tor their own children, and swallow them."

"My dear,” said Peter. "you must- n't believe all you hear. They do say that mother snakes otten swall- ow their chiidreii to save them from their enemies. and if that isn't mother love I don't know what it 1.3."

THREE CHANCES ARE BETTER THAN TWO

Most players seem to have so much blind. laltih in ”ju;tice" that when either or two conditions will deliver the contract to them, they "relax." Unlortunately. however. this so-called justice does not turn up on every hand. and so it is a very good idea. to take out a little extra insurance. That, precisely, is what South should have done in the ioliowinz hand:

West opened the king of clubs. South drew trumps in two leads, commented aloud that either A diamond break or a successful heart finesse would give him the conLra.ct. and Iorthwltlh led three rounds of diamonds. He was disappointed when the suit failed to break. and a great deal more disappointed when his second chance, the heart Iinesoe, also let. him down.

South would have had reason for dlsgruntiement it his defeat had been due purely to bad luck. but the fact was that he himself had thrown the hand away. With the diamond ten dropping on the first lead or the suit. ilhe markedly logical line was to ruit away dummy'.s second club, eliminating that suit, and then to pass a diamond into East. This would simultaneously capitalize the two "hopes" on which South was operating, and add still 11 third chance. If East had a third diamond to get out. witih. that would mean that the suit. was breaking. giving South an automatic discard on the fourth round; and if East did not have I. third diamond. neither 'would he have a safe exit. A heart return would be directly up to dummy's tenacc. whereas n club return would afford it ruff and discard.
