Perhaps I should say to liva from minute to minute. for things can happen in such a short space of time that one of these tiny (oil can be safe one minute. and in danger the next. so they learn as they go along.

Tiny Toad was the first of old Mr. Toads children to leave the water this year. He really was a

baby. although he no longer was .

a tadpole. He was a perfect little Toad and I suspect he wouldn't have liked it at all to have been called a baby. so far he had had no bad fright. He had been lucky. Nothing had happened to make him very much afraid. However. he had learned certain important things. He had learned that the only time to travel was at night. or on a wet or very cloudy day. He had learned that he simply could, not be comfortable with a dry skin. and that was one of the most im- portant things that he could lesm. so he simply hid from the jolly Little sunbeams and kept out of sight while they were around Traveling at night he had at, last reached the dear Old Brier-patch. and at the edge of it had crawl-

Peter Rabbit had seen him crawl under that leaf. Then. out of sight being out of mind, Peter had for- gotten all about him. There were other things in which Peter was more interested.

south meant his pass over East's four spades as a forcing pass which vmuld draw a double or a five-heart bid from his partner. and when North simply passed to four spades. south was not happy!

Diecuesin the hand lawn North. asked how he could pouibly take action of any sort on such I. "horr- ible holding," but he ignored the real point of the situation: that in declining to double four spades or to bid five hearts he was guilty of a breach of partnership.

Had North taken the trouble to review the bidding mentally he might have realized that Souths pass to four spades was forcing. Let's analyze the auction:

East's pass to one spade was s confession of great weakness. South, by first doubling for a take- out and then going to four hearts sin ' ” nded. announced a power- house. West at no time showed great strength. East. having passed one spade. was obviously sacrificing at your spades. Thus, when South passed to this bid. he was very obviously leaving the final decision to North. North's distribution beinl what it was, he should have laid five hearts; but even it double
