It shouldn't be. but often takes

Real courage to admit mistakes. -Old .Mother Nature.

It is curious how often folks do. light in thinking they know gomg. thing that other folks don't know. Something they do. More often they don't. That really doesn'tImatter as long as they think they do. It is the same way about seeing things. Folks like to think they have seen something no one else has. Why? You tell. No one is any better off for knowing something that no one else knows. or having seen something that no one else has seen.

Peter Rabbit had made the sc- quaintance of Waterfoot, the water lovlng Shrew who is own cousin to short-tail and 'Ireny weeny. the two members of the shrew family with whom Peter had long been acquainted. Waterfoot was living at the Smiling Pool where he was as much at home as his cousins were on dry land. There Peter had seen him do something he hadn't thought any one could do. Water- foot had made a quick short run on the surface of the water. In fact

THE "NATURAL" PLAY

It would he captions to say that today's declarer misplayed the hand, since he did nothing that thousands of very good bridge players would not do in his position. Yet. a. top-ranking expert would protect himself against the ex- traordinary break which unlined" the actual declarer-if he didn't. he would not deserve his exnert ratlngl

West. whose longest suit had been bid by the about-to-be dummy, opened the deuce of hearts. De- clarer took the trick in his own hand and started right in to es- tablish the spades. This was a logical action, but South's techni- que was not so logical-he led and passed the spade ten. East won and returned a heart. Another spade lead revealed the bad break, so south now tried for a diamond trick. leading low from dummy to his own ten. The position of the diamond jack. however. defeated this effort, and the outcome was a one-trick set.

Declarers initial lead of the spade ten was the sort of "natural" play which is so difficult to resist- but it was wrong. South had three sure heart tricks and two top clubs; thereiore his objective should have been to take four spades-not five or three, but four! That being so. there was no possible advantage in leading the spade ten, and there was the danger. however remote, that either East or West might turn up with the singleton king.

To guard against this danger. to the greatest possible extent, south should have led the spade five to the ace. of course the king did not "figure" to drop. but what of it? with two entries still in dum- my. Bouth could then lead to his

own spade ten. and in that way ;establish the spade suit just as . surely (and more safely) than by I starting off with the ten-spot.'

ily Thornton W. Burgess)

Peter had seen him do it man than once.

It was such a wonderful thing to Peter that he had to tell his friends about it if he could get them to listen. He boasted about it. Yes. air. that is what he did. boasted about what he had seen to those he was sure hadn't seen any one walk on the water. The truth is very few even knew there is such a person as Waterfoot the Water shrew. Like all his rela- tives he is of a very retiring dis- position. Even his neighbors who live in the smiling Pool or along Laughing Brook and spend much time in or on the water seldom see him and know little about him.

Peter was up in the Old orchard. There he found Scrapper the King- bird who only a few days before had arrived from way. way down in the sunny South where the weather is very warm the whole year through. There is no winter down there. Scrapper doesn't like cold weather. And he wants in eat. Of course. Like everybody else he not only wants to eat, but must eat, and what he eats mostly he must catch. He lives largely on fly- ing insects. You see he belongs to the Fly-Catcher family. He eats some insects that do not fly and some fruits and seeds but like the other members of his family he likes best to catch his food in the air. Where the weather becomes cold as in the winter in the north there are no flying insects. no in- sects or worms or grubs excepting those hidden away and sleeping. an Scrapper goes down to the Land of Always Summer where al- ways there are flying insects and he can always get a dinner, a good dinner, for the catching.

"You may be a great traveler. but I have seen something you've never seen," boasted Peter.

Scrapper didnt look interested. He had known Peter a long time. "I wouldn't be a bit surprised." said Scrapper. "I don't pretend to have seen everything. Nobody sees everything. What have you seen that you think I've never seen?"

"I've seen some one run on wsiar and hardly get his feet wet. I guess you've never seen anything like that." cried Peter. ,

"Oh. tlratf replied Scrapper with no show of interest. "Who was it?"

"It was one of the shrew cousins. His name is Waterfoot. He lives over at the smiling Pool. I guess he and his family are the only folks who can run on water." re- plied Peter.

Scrapper darted out from his perch and caught a flying insect in mid-air. "Your mistake, Peter. This is what comes of never travel- ing. Down where I spent the winter I've seen folks running on water more times then I can remember. They don't think anything of mak- ing little short runs on the water. They run so fast I guess there isn't time for them to sink in. They are members of the Lizard family. You ought to travel Peter. You really ought to. Everybody ought to," said Scrapper. Peter looked a. little foolish.
