Nanny went :1-eon; it was brown. and some ofilooking for something softer than it broken down. The outer grasses,that coarse grass with which to line clump were bent over all .the inside of that new home. She

intended to get some finer grasses. Being what Danny called fussy, she wasn't satisfied with the grasses she found at first. They were not fine enough. so she went farther than she had intended to. search- ing for some grasses that would suit her.

Now there were many trails cut through the grass all around that big clump. some of them were now, some were old, some were very old. These were little used. It was on one of these seldom used paths that Nanny made a wonderful find. It was a man of thistledown. You know i' now soft thistledown is. Chlckoree the Goldfinch and Mrs. Ohickoree, usually put off nesting until they can get thisledown to line their dainty little nest. It makes the softest kind of ii. downy nest for the baby birds. Nanny squealed right out loud when she found that lovely thlstledown.

”Thls is going to be the finest home I've ever made." she con- fided to Danny a little later. "Our babies are going to have the soft- est. loveliest bed any babies ever had.

"You're too fussy," said Danny again. "You'll run your legs off getting that stuff, and the babies won't thank you. You dldnlt have C any such bed when you were a baby and neither did I. What was good enough for you and me should be good enough for our babies.'

Nanny Meadowmouse didn't. even hear what Danny was saying. She was too -busy. She didn't have time to talk, and she didn't have time to listen. She pushed 'Dsnny out of the doorway.

"if you can't help me get some of thzs soft stuff, the least you can ;do is to keep out of my way," -squeaked Nanny.

After that Danny did keep out of her way. The truth is me really ywasn't interested at all. He just didn't consider it any of his bus- iness. He went off to join other liathers of his own kind who felt ljust as he did. Nanny didn't stop iworking until that new home was Ifinlshed to suit her, and she was Ihard to suit. But when it was fin- ilshed it really was something. That is, it was for Meadowmouse home. Nanny was proud of it. Truth to

ft is understandable that south looked upon his eight-card club suit as solid, but he nevertheless made a doubtful ”eoision when he bid the slain. Obviously. he felt that with the enemy sacrificing so deter- minedly in diamonds, North figured to be very short in their suit. but North could have been void in clubs.

West made his natural opening lead, the king of diamonds, and when the dummy was spread East felt that it would be a very good idea to demand diamond contin- uation. So he followed suit with the queen. He was shocked, how- ever, to see his partner make it prompt shift to spades. and more shocked when the declarer - who had realized, if West had not, what had been in East's mind when he signalled so i-mphzitically e- took a first-round finesse for the club queen and, A moment later, claimed the contract.

West defended his spade shift on the grounds that ”East's high dia- mond had called for a shift to the higher-ranking side suit," and thus I: must be presumed that if East had played a low diamond, West would have shifted to hearts! The question then arises: with West so single-minded in treating all signals as suit.- preference plays, how could poor East get ii continuation of' diamonds which would force dummys trump and thus make his club queen an absolutely sure trick. no matter how declarer man euvered? The answer is, of course. that with thistype of partner, East couldn't protect himself: but if West had appreciated the simple
