The bidding:

West North East Pass Pass Pass Pass GNTU) P35! Puss

North's leap to six notrump over South's one notrump was perhaps too sensational a bid but. consider- ing his original pass, North did very little it any stretching. North's xonor holding virtually guaranteed at least three aces in South's hand. and North's heart suit alone was mod lot at least five tricks. Finally. since North's hand was oaianced. in the true sense of that rvord, with no singleton or void. here was no presumptive ad-

Mouseville is on the contract rather than notrump.

west opened the spade queen. Dummy's king won. and- South naturally cleared the heart suit. West, after taking his ace. made the safe continuation of the spade jack, and of course South took the trick.

Now declarer ran off the hearts. On the third round East signaled with the nine of clubs: on following rounds he let go another club and. necessarily, the seven nd nine of diamonds. south disca ded 1:. dia- mond. a club. and iinally the nine of spades.

West was A little careless! Discarding on the hearts, he gave up two spades and one club, but when the last heart was played from the board (the really critical point) he discarded theideuce of diamonds. It was Just as though he said, "How can my diamond hold- ing be worth anything?" He was Isoon to find out, however! South leashed the ace and king of club: then led the diamond quean through East. who covered. S0l'.h won with the diamond ace, cashod the jack. and made the last. (ulii l-

Eur M 30 M0 in 'SMO so their” hogieg ufre :11 y:bout.p'r e streets of Mouseyilie are tiny paths cut through the grass in all directions; There are no one way streets in Mouseviile. There are no stop signs. There are no speed limits. Those who use the streets of Mouseviile go and come as they please. and as fast. or as slowly. as they please.

Throughout the year, Mouseville is a busy place. Mouse folk are busy folk. They are workers. From the time they leave home, when only three weeks old or thereabouts. they must work or starve. This means that they must work to find their food and harvest it. And they must do this most of the time they are awake. This is because they are big eaters. It takes a lot of food to satisfy their appetites. Every day they eat their own weight in food. so it is that they must be out and about much of the timenand they are both by day and by night. The homes in Mouseville vary just as they do in other towns. some are very good indeed, and are well kept: some are poorly made and are not well kept. some are underground. Some are hidden in or under clumps of gras. All have babies in them most of the time.

Love. happiness. tear. sorrow. all that goes to make up life in other parts of the Great World. are found in Mouseville, Probably there is more fear there than in most other places. for few others have so many keen-eyed enemies constantly watching for them as have the little furry folk in Mousevllle.

Winter is the hard time for most of the Green Forest and the Green Meadow folk. It is the time of .cold and hunger, the time when food is hard to get. This is especially true when snow covers everything. The deeper the snow. the harder it is for most of the furred and feather- ed folir It is not the happy season It is such a' he rd season that some of the folks in feathers and fur sleep through it, or try to sleep

time in Mouseville. Can you guess why? It is because it is the satest time in all the year for all the little folk who live in Mouseviile. With- out safety there can be no complete happiness. At no other time of year is Mousevllle such a sale place as when it is buried in snow. All the little winding criss-cross streets are dug open by the busy Mouse folk, and become t eis. Along these tunnels. the Mouse folk can go and come as they please. and do it in periect safety. They do not have to look up in the sky to make guru that no Hawk or owl is overhead watching for them. They know that Roddy Fox. and Old Man Coyote. and Black Pussy the Cat, and Jimmy skunk cannot see them, and so cannot know where they are.

They do not have to show them- selves to get food. Most of them have little stores of food. hidden here and there. If need be they can live on grass, or the bark of bushel. or young trees. and can get these things without once showing them- selves above the snow. Snow time is happy time in Mouaevilie. Mite, the young son of Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse. was finding it so. He did a lot of running about and visiting. Winter is visiting time. because under the snow it can be done safely. While at all other times they must constantly be watching for danger. It isn't for a Mouse to move until sure that no hungry enemy is close at hand. Just a. moment of carelessness. just A moment of forgetfulness. may cost a lie. -

Mite soon forgot all about watch- ing out, looking and listening. He could Just run out when he pleased. and run where be pleased, and never once give a thought to look- ing for danger. of course. it was just the same with all the others in Mouseville. This was nice. but in this very lack of danger, there was danger. There was danger that rorgetfulness would follow. When the show should be none forgetful- ness to watch for danger might result from the safety under the snow. Mouseyiile was a busy and happy, and an unseen little town under the snow.
