BLACKY LISTENS Who holds his tongue and listens

well,

Will plenty learn. but little tell., -Old Mother Nature. Old Man Winter was on his way back in mm Far North. There was no doubt about it. The snow nu melting everywhere. The ice had become very thin on the Smiling Pool. On the Big Rliver there was none, at all, Laruglling Brook was zllrglhlg and laughing agaln,and I0 were all the other bmolxs coming down from the Great Mountain. Snow was still banked in sheltered places where jolly, round Mr. Sun could udt get at it. It would be :.here for a long time yet. It would be there until Gentle Sis-ter Southwind arrived with Sweet Mis-

where Laughing Brook loinod it. little brown and purple hoods were pushing up through the black mud, or had already pushed up. Inside each were tiny flowers, so tiny that had you peepod in and seen them you might not have thought them to be flowers. They were the mat flowers or the year, the skunk cabbage, Those little hoods were to protect them. Peter Rabbit al- ways feels better when he peeps into one 0! those little hoods and sees the golden duet, which is the pollen of those tiny flowers. He knows then for sure that Mistress spring is here, and he refuses to be discaumged if there happen to be two or three cold days after some WEFHI ones.

O&O0teG.Ofw0Os&CO'&00s BEWARE O!" SLAM DOUBLES

It cannot be repealed too often that the most profitable penalty doubles are those made at low levels, This is in direct contradic- tion to the view which seems to be held by the majority of bridge players. . .

The least profitable doubles - assuming that your opponents are reaszmaibly adept e are in the slam field. The truth of this state- ment ls so pointed that in all- expert games, cut of every 100 slams voluntarily bid, only two or three are npt,la be doubled. This does not mean that in the remain- ing cases the contract is invariably fulfilled, but ll does mean that the polcnlial extra profit from doubling is so small and the danger so great, that the double is almost never used.

GC-illng down to an illustrative hand e no expert worlliy of the name would follow East's example in the bidding below.

Mrs. Blacky stopped work and listened, too. Then she joined Blacky in his tree. "Whoever that is calling is excited." said she. "Let's go join the group."

Still Blacky hesitated. SOcIll9U'l'lllEZ wasn't quite right about that call, but what it was, he couldn't say.

East's double of six diamonds, opc-lilr; the way to South's re- double, was virlllully sellsclcs. East knew that his or-pcnenis were good playels, which meant that they would not go down many tricks at their slam contract - in fact. East could not really hope to take more than his two aces. By doubl- ing, East would increase his score by 100 points if he was suecesful e by 200 if the opponents re- dnublcd and went down; whereas the Dppcvllcllls might C8Sllly'SCDI'C all extm 410 points by rcdoubllng and making the coniracl.
