Two young foxes. Too-sniart and his pretty mate. Soft-Eyes, had been atching a sliding party. It was tie Joe Otter and his fam- ily. They had been having no end of fun ending on the well- packed snow down a. long sloping mound. From the top they would throw themselves headlong flat on their stomachs and go sliding fast- er and faster down to the bottom. Then they would scramble to their feet. and hurry back to the top by a round-about way that made it easy. They did it over and over again while the two young foxes watched in wide-eyed wonder. Never before had they seen any- body do anything like this. It was perfectly clear that those otters were having a grand time.
Alter I while they got tired of sliding and moved on. When they were out of sight, Too-Smart and soft-Eyes went over to the top or the slippery-slide. Where the otters had been sliding they had packed the mow down and made it very smooth.
"Those folks were having a lot of fun. I don't see why we should- n't have the same," said Too- Smart. i
"You don't dare go down the way they did." said Soft-Eyes.
Too-Smart hesitated. He was afraid to try it, yet he didn't want Soft-Eyes to think he was afraid. He sat at the very edge looking down. Finally, he squatted down and pushed himself over the edge just as he had seen the otters do it. Away he went down the slip- pery-slide. but he didn't go at all the way those otters had gone.Thoy had goneismoothly, flat on their stomachs.
They had known just what to do with their arms and legs. Til('ll' legs had been kept straight out behind them. Their arms had been held close to their sides. Too- Smart hadn't noticed this. Even if he had. he wouldn't have been able to hold his anus and legs in the same position. As it was, they wer in the way. He didn't know w t to do with them. In- stead of sliding smoothly down to

to the top of the slippery-slide where Soft-Eyes was standing. "Do it again." said Soft-Eyes
”Y0I1 WY It-." replied Too-Smart.
"No, thanks. It may be fun for some folks, but I know I wouldn't like it myself." said Soft-Eyes.
"Let's have a race," said Too- Smart, and darted away. Soft-Eyes raced after him. That was fun, foxi tun.

TAILOIIS SHOCKED
WEILLINGTON. N. Z. - (CPI -- Tailors were shocked when Prime Minister Sidney Holland said for- mal drses for the coming royal
visit would consist of a morning suit with top hat, but that a black homburg might be used instead. W. J Lane. president of the Tailors' Association, said "a horn-burg would look ridiculous
with a morning
suit."

T00 AMIABLE
There is no worse fault in bridge than to be "uncooperative" with one's partner, but the idea of co. operation must not be carried to the point of bidding partner's hand for him. Consider South's perform- ance in this deal:
isoutn dearer. North-south vulnerable. .

well, put full confidence in their bidding and opened the unbid, suit, clubs. Thus. the contract was de- feated at the very start.
North was understandably dis- pleased ,and said to South: "You know, if I had wanted to be in a slam, opposite that minimum hold- ing of yours, I would have bid it, myself !”
South, all wounded innocence, pointed out that he had "only been trying to respect North's super- strong bidding, and that it had not seemed proper to hang at the five-level."
”Well,” North rejoined, ”liow would you suggest that I tell you that you'd need club control for the 2am? I bid spades and dia- monds ,and later supported hearts. If I had had a singleton club, along with all the strength my other bids showed, don't you think I would have jumped straight to the slam?”
South had no answer for this last question - for the very good reason that there was no answer.
The filial slam action was in- defensible. not so much because S0lli.il's original opening bid had been a minimum in respect to top cards, but because he could not control the unbid club suit. As I matter of fact. if South's diamond king had been the club king - in short, if he had had the same high-card value. differently distri- butcd - there would have been far more reason for optimism.
