Complicated Drive
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Everyone seems to turn to
you for your advice about diff
ferent puzzles. The one I am
about to state was told to me
and my opinion asked. I gave
my answer, but it didn't seem
to be acceptable. Can you
please help us?
Not so long ago a man in
our town was driving to an
other State. Another hearing
of his contemplated trip,
asked if he would be SO kind
as to take him. The man
answered that he would. Later
another gentleman called and
asked the same favor. It was
arranged that both men should
go, but nothing was said to
either about the others going.
The next morning Mr.. A. (as
we shall call the host) called
for the first gentleman. In
stead of going directly to the
highway, he turned off to pick
up the other gentleman. The
man already seated in the car
asked where he was going and
when told that he was going
for Mr.. So and So. he became
indignant. and said that If this
gentleman went he wouldn't,
and that Mr.. A. should take
him back Immediately to his
home.
Mr.. A. put the question UP
to myself and friend as to
what he should have done. We
both stated that as he was
the host and was asked by his
guest to return him, he should
have complied with his wishes.
But Mr.. A. didn't. he con-
tinued to drive to this mans
home and explained the situa-
ton to him. Naturally, after
the second man heard the
story, he. being a gentleman,
said that the first man should
remain in the car and that he
would take the bus.
Mr.. A wants to know if he
was right or wrong. and what
he should have done.-R.
What a complicated drive that
was! I think that the host was
unwiSe in every move that he
made. In the first place, it
would have been so simple for
him to have explained to each
self-inVited guest that the other
guest was coming. This would
have avoided all complications.
Then, since he hadn't done this,
and since it became apparent
almost once that trouble was

The opening lead was the K
of diamonds. East did not start
an echo, as he did not want to
establish a card of that suit in
dummy, by calling for a third
round. Noting that his partner
played a small diamond, West
shifted to clubs, leading his 3.
Dummy'S Ace won. The Q
dropped at the declarer's right.
OF course, the declarer led
dummy's only heart. East
played the 2. Expecting to find
the balance of the suit divided
80 between opponents, the de-
clarer fineSsed his j, only to dis
cover that West was chicane
without trumps). This meant
that if the declarer were to lay
down his tops in hearts that
East must win two trump tricks,
which would defeat the con-
tract. South had to shorten
his hearts twice, to just equal
the length of trumps held by
East, and then force that player
to ruff the tenth trick before
South did.
The declarer led back his last
diamond, giving West that trick
with his Ace. That player led
a spade. for no apparent rea-
son, putting dummy in the lead.
OF course the deClarer could
have at once taken three tricks
in dummy, but if he had done
this he would have been de-
feated, by spelling his grand
coup plans. Only single spade
trick was at once taken in
dummy, then the declarer led
one of dummy's clubs. East
played the K, and the declarer
ruffed. South led back a spade.
Dummy won. The declarer led
a diamond. East played the @,
again South trumped, bringing
down the length of his trumps
to four, just the same as East
had.
The declarer led his last
spade. Dummy Won this trick.
Now it made no difference
which card was led. South and
East each held only four
trumps. and nothing else. East
cunningly trumped the 5 Of
clubs with his 10. Had the de-
clarer won that trick East
would have defeated the con-
tract. by winning two trump
tricks. East was allowed to.
hold the trick. and the declarer
was able to win all the remain
ing tricks, regardless of which
heart East led, ydSt making f.

he likes me a great deal. A few

he goes to school, and I am I'M
able to entertain him at my
home. What are we to do?
T. j. E.
At this season of the year the
gods seem especially kind to
young people who can't receive
their friends at home. There
are always nice walks to be had,
and the public parks have
benches. Churches, these days,
are very hum a n and under
standing about such situations,
and the majority of them have
something in mind for young
people who are without home
backgrounds.
