AFTER oW

When the gray hairs come a-peepin,
And the years go glidin' by;
When you realize you're creepin'
Close to where the shadows lie;
When your thoughts just keep a
strayin'
To the day when you were playln
And a-laughin' back at home
Kind of makes you stop and ponder,
Makes you wonder if it's true
That the boy away back yonder
In those happy days was you.
Then you close your eyes and, dreamln .
Go a@floatin' back once more.
On the mem'ry waves OF seemln',
To the happy childhood shore.
And you follow up the fancy
Till you're in the thick of strife,
And, by some strang necromancy,
Livin' over all your life;
And it seems as if the fightin'
And the struggles that have gone
Were but bigger games delightin'
Bigger children, later on.
Yet you wonder. vaguely wonder,
If you wouldn't, once again,
Struggle now as when, back yonder,
You were in the fight with men,
Then there comes a gentle wakin',
AS your stiffened joints all say,
Just so plain there's no mistaken;
"You are dreamin'L'tis Today"
And you smile at all the folly
You've been livin' DER again;
But there's naught of melancholy
In this dreamland of old men;
Just a gentle, soOthin' sweetness,
More like sunset than the dawn,
Sort of rounded out completeness,
When the woes and cares are gone.
For there's some peculiar pleasure
When the heart and mind engage
In the soft and rhythmic measure
OF the dream m-tune of old age;
And a peace comes round you creepin'
Like a laughter-softened sigh,
| When the gray hairs comes a-peepin',
And the years go glidin' by.

In the great majority of hands the
proper lead is not difficult. Every now
and then, however, a player will hold a
hand that puzzles him as to the lead.
The correct decision in such cases means
a game saved or at least trick or so.
The writer noted three such hands the
other evening and in every one of them
the correct opening lead made a tre-
mendous difference.

four clubs. B bid four spades, z doub-
led, A passed, Y bid five clubs, B and
z passed. A doubled and all passed.
What should A open2 In this hand the
trump opening seems the ideal one.
With the trump opening, the five club
bid can be defeated two tricks. With
any other opening, it can be defeated
only one trick. Note that in both Of
these hands the bidding of both D
ponents indicated very clearly that
they held practically all Of the trump
strength, so that a trump opening
would not cause AS partner to lose a
trump trick. Don't make trump open
ings unless having three suits well pro-
tected and unless you know that the
opening will not make your partner
lose trump trick. They are perfect in
hands as just given out, but should he
used with great discretion.

A should open the spade suit. If rs
preemptive bid of four hearts is correct,
it should indicate weakness in spades,
the other major suit. If that is correct,
A would be leading up to weakness in
rs hand, always a good play. The only
other choice A has is the diamond lead
and that seems a bad opening. A has a
minor tenace in diamonds and should
wait for lead in that suit from B.
There really seems no choice but for A
to lead spades. The lead should be either
the eight of spades, fourth best, or the
ten of spades, the top of the interme-
diate sequence. The spade opening will
defeat the four heart bid by two tricks
but the diamond opening will enable
w to make FIVE odd in hearts, quite
difference.

one diamond, A doubled, Y bid three
diamonds, and B three spades. Z bid
four diamonds, A four spades, Y five
diamonds and B and Z passed. A doub-
led and all passed. What should A
open3 This is certainly a difficult hand.
If he hadn't forced his partner to bid by
his informatory double of one diamond,
the ace of spades would be the logical
opening, but as BIS bid is in answer to
AS double, A is not justified in assum-
ing that B holds the king of spades.
Both the club and heart leads are ques-
tionable so the proper lead seems to be
the four of diamonds. The fact that A
holds three suits, all of which he would
prefer to have led to him, makes the
trump opening with this hand the ideal
one. As a matter of fact, it was the only
opening that would have saved game.
With this opening the five diamond bid
was defeated one trick.

never across the grain of the wood,
which makes dancing difficult, but
always the long way of the wood,
which instead of roughing the floor
up it naturally gives it higher and
more lasting finish.
The Willows is an ideal situation
away from the crowded districts.
where you are always sure of meet
ing the best Of the dancing public.
In fact one of the chief reasons for
its great popularity is that the ones
that go are going not only for the
