these. Bravery is an admirable trait,
but to waste energy on forlorn hope

King OF the house OF the Bourbons
would reign over them.
In the events preceding the Spanish
War none can deny that the conduct
OF the Queen Regent was above re-
proach. She made no secret OF the fact
that she thought the United States
would win; but. at the same time. she
declared that Spain must attempt TO
defend herself.
"or how shall bear the reDroaches
Of my son in the years to Gomez" she
asked. pathetically, Of the statesmen
who urged her TO yield without q
struggle. At times she might have
been rash and badly advised; but, on
the whole. no woman couia have gone
through the disastrous struggle with
more credit.
Alphonso is now nearly prepared for
the throne. His coronation will take
place in Madrid with all the ceremony

expended in explaining the folly or
switching suits the error notwithstand
ing the advice given is one of the
commoneSt, perhaps because the situa
tons are not made sufficiently clear.
One case in particular there is where
many players fail 1t is dis
covered on the second round
OF the partners suit that
one of the adyersaries will ruff" it
if it is continued Holding no trump
strength, some players elect to open
another suit. There are only two
cases in which this will prevent the
enemy from 'ruffing' late in the
game: If the partner happens to be
strong in trumps and gets into the
lead soon enough to exhaust them.
This. however, is rare, for if the part
ner had been strong in trumps he
would probably have made an initial
trump opening. Besides this if the
enemy wins the first trick his plan is
frustrated. Another time is when the
player who is void in the suit has had
his trump drawn by his partner This
would indicate bad play unless the
trump leader could not locate the
cards from his holding. 1t may be
taken as a general rule that the strong
hand will force the weak before at
tempting anything else.
~
Changing suits in majority of such
eases not only kills an honor and
loses a re-entry but also fails to ac-
complish its purpose The card VIII
be ruffed just the same. The coun-
terpart Of such q player is he who new
er changes suits, even IN the face Of the
direst calamities
A cardinal weakness is in refusing to
acknowledge an error. The mind may
brood over the case of a number OF
deals, thinking out ali manner of pos
sibilities under which the play might
have won, while new situations pass by
unheeded, perception lies dormant, and
the original loss is increased four-foId.
When the play is ended the bad play is
most deliberately excused by presenting
differences that could only have been
