Even though the diamond finesse worked for South, there was no conceivable u-ny to avoid the loss of a diamond and a club, and thus the slam. contnzct. come to grief.

It is obvious enough that North- South should have been entirely satisfied with a. contract at only four spades. True, the combined hands had seven honor tricks, and in a large proportion of deals this total is enough for a laydown slam. In- i-hls case, however, neither part- rner hizd suit distribution to en- hance his honor - trick, holding: neither one had a singleton,‘ nor l side suit of sufficient length or strength to be esiablishable.

Thus. despite the fact that South had one full honor trick more than he required for an opening bid, he should not have dreamed of using the Blaciuvood four notrump over his partner's double raise; and. as ,a. matter of ﬂirt, even a bid of four hearts iinsteacl of four notrump) by Smith would have been question- able. Needless to say. North was entirely blameless throughout the bidding. since his first response was correct rind his lair-r response to the Blaciewood convention Wéfg autom- ulir. The fault was exclusively Souths .t'or not realizing that While his hand was strong in honor tricks it was virtually a minimum in winners. A more four spades was his right bid on the second round.

Peggy said: “Supposing they meet in the evening. after the iiﬁt safe post. or too late to get the news across by next day? Wouldn't that put them forward to ‘Ned- nesday?"

"It‘s a possibility; but, on the other hand, that makes it almost a week before the day of the per- formance, and too much can hail- pen in a week to make them risk it if they could help taking the risk. There's gut, to be a sea-re to make them alter their plans at all; but a scare would make a new scare possible in six days. You take tne poi-ht?"
