it isn't often that a vulnerable player can afford to preempt against non-vulnerable opponents. but East acted correctly in doing just that. with his long diamonds and general defensive weakness.

West, opening against the four- heart contract, naturally selected his top diamond. and East con- tinued the suit. As it happened. a shift to clubs at Trick 2 would have been a very good defensive idea. but h was difficult for East to know axactly what line the de- lense should take.

South ruffed the second dia- mond and laid down the ace and king of tsumps. He was disap- pointed but not surprised when East showed out. and, seeing no reason to let West keep two trumps. South went ahead with the trump queen and then led the king of spades. West won. cashed the high trump and exited with a spade. and Smith eventually had no eoneede a club kick is West. lot down one. '

Under most circumstances louth would have been right to cash his three top trumps. leav- ing West with only the master trump. but in this case that move was very wrong. Observe the vast difference if. after leading only two high trumps. South had knocked out the spade ace. West would exit with a spade. but his safety would be short-lived, for now Smith would cash his trump queen. then lead spadr-s until West ruffed in. If West declined to rtiff

"Sweet Mistress Spring is sure- ly here." said Peter.

"You seem to be very sure," said Mrs. Peter. r

"I am." replied Peter. ”All the signs point to it."

”I thought.you didn't believe in signs." Mrs. Peter reminded him.

"Sweet Mistress Spring is sure- h here." said Peter.

"And you think you know, do you?" asked Mrs. Peter slyly.

Mistress Spring must be here. It is good to be alive. isn't it?" concluded Peter.

Mrs. Peter agreed it was good to be alive. "But it is always good to be alive." said she. "Even when things are hardest. it is still good to be alive."

”I hear that Redtail the Hawk and Mrs. Redtail were quite up- set when they found that those big Owls. l-looty and Mrs. Hooty, had taken their old nest. It means they have got to build a new one. I hear they have already started one." said Peter, changing the
