Wild-blue as the flowers that crowd
ed the valleys
Long ages ago when the world was
new,
la the water today—careless and
blue,
As if » giant's child gathering blue
bells
Had tossed them down in the wind
and the foam
As she searched through the seaweed
"and delicate sea-shells
Hoping to bring a sea-horse home.

THERE IS one class of play
which should always be tried,
whenever it is available. That is
any kind of mov* which, if it
works, will be worth a trick to
your aide, whereas, if it fails, it
will not cost you anything. Under
this heading come certain finesses,
the ruffing of a round of a suit to
see if it will set up another card
for later use. and the play of the
third round of a suit to try to de
velop a thirteener. But each of
them depends upon other factors
In the hand which determine
whether it carries any risk.

All four players, barely past the
absolute beginner stage, showed
plenty of enthusiasm for bidding—
for bidding plenty. Both sides got
two tricks beyond their depth on
their final bids. South finally was
aet two tricks at his doubled con
tract, but should have been beaten
only one. with the kind of defense
put up against him. He failed tc
seize a simple opportunity offeree
to him during the play.
West's opening lead of the
heart Q was covered by the K. and
the A won. Then East returned
the heart 3 to the J. Now was the
time West slipped terrifically. He
did not like to lead away from his
club tenace, or into the long dia
monds, or to the set-up heart
10. So he led his spade 4. South
promptly took three tramp rounds
and led his diamond Q. After East
won with the A. his next play was
a club, and two tricks there put
the declarer down two.
When South was In with the
spade lead, he should have
dropped spades as he did. and then
led to the heart 10, hoping the out
standing or.es were divided. When
that developed, the heart 7 would
| have been good, for discard of one
of his clubs. Thus he would have
gone down only one. and would
have saved 200 points. If the suit
had not divided, he would have
lost nothing, as he then could
have started the diamonds.
