MES. PETER IS SHOWN

Who really learns to use his eyes, Wul rind each day some new

surprise. -Old Mother Nature.

Peter Rabbitbelieves most of the things he hears, and Mrs. Peter believes very little she hears. She is one or those people who must be shown. It is a good thing that there are such people in the Great World. Peter had been told that mother Snakes s-wallow their young

Peter had himseli seen a Snake '

swallow little Snakes. Then he had raced home to tell little Mrs. Peter that it was all true. "I hope now," sold Peter. "you will believe it is true that snakes do swallow their babies .to save them."

Mrs. Peter made it very clear that she didn't believe it. Peter had seen the little Snakes swaliowed,but -he hadn't seen them come out or mother's mouth again. No: had he seen any danger to cause Mother snake to swallow her babies. He didn't even know that they were her babies.

"They might." said Mrs. Peter, "have been the babies or someone else. I'm sure they would have been Just as good eating as her own."

"You don't believe anything I tell you. do you?" said Peter mourn- fully.

"Yes. I do, my dear." replied Mrs. Peter. "I believe. you really saw some small snakes swallowed by a big snake. Anyway, I believe you saw them taken into her mouth. But you don't know that she swallowed them for safety, and you don't even know that she was their mother. Perhaps they were the babies of some other Snake. They could have been. and they could have been swallowed because the old Snake was hungry."

Peter saw that is was no use to

try to make Mrs. Peter believe that anyone swallowed their own babies to keep them safe. "Next time." thouaht Peter. "I'll sit and wait tor them to come out again when she thinks it is sale for them to do so." ,You see, there was no doubt that Peter believed that he had really seen little Snakes swall- owed ior saiety instead oi for dinner.

Little Mrs. Peter didn't believe. She meant Just what she said when

shown. The trouble was that Peter couldn't show her. It was only by chance that he had seen those little Snakes swallowed. Now chance is a queer thing. It always happens when least expected.

While Peter was running this way and that way, looking tor a member or the Snake family swallowing baby snakes, Mrs. Peter stayed right at home in the dear old Brlar-patch. One morning as she sat at the edge of the dear old Brier-patch, a strange thing happ- ened. A ilat rock was in the grass just s. little way tram where she was . sitting. Happening in look over on that net rock she saw what at first she took to be little worms wiggling about. Then she saw that they were baby Snakes, the smallest Snakes she had ever seen. As she watched them, the head or an Old Snake, I. fully grown Snake, was lifted over the flat rock. The baby Snakes became excited.

"It must be their motherf thought Mrs. Peter. "I wonder what she will do?"

She didn't have to welt long to find out. Mother Shake, it she was their mother, stared with unwink- lng eyes for a moment or two. Then she glided up on that flat rock,

Average players an-s'apt to put too much importance on sure stoppers in the unbld suits when contemplating notrump contracts. Beyond questio , sure stoppers are good things to have, but other considerations may be even more important in the bidding sequence. Observe this rather typical case:

West felt, with reason, that he :ouldn't expect much from his spade suit, so he elected to open this top diamond. East captured dummyls ten and shifted to clubs. South put in the jack; West won and led Anoth diamond. This made it easy for uth to establish nine tricks - not that he had ever been in danger.

Many players might consider South's hand a shade (or more) too weak for an opening bid. but they would be wrong. With so many honors in the hand. a. pass would -be inexcusable. But observe that after making the light opening bid. South conducted his rebiddlng correctly. Most players. holding the Q-l0 or a suit 1-ehld strongly by, partner, and only the Q-J blank in another suit, would be panicked into giving support to partner, but South realized that his Iirst duty. after the light opening. was to stay within the nine-trick notrump level, and to make North take the responsibility, it he chose to do so, oi reaching a ten-trick contract. True. the combined hands might not have It sure spade stopper, but as between this danger and the danger oi "getting overboard" at four hearts, south chose the lesser.

Observe that reasonably good deiense would have beaten 9. four- heart contract. with the opponents talking two diamonds, one spade and one club,
