South dealt and bid one diamond.
North responded with one spade and
South bid one no trump. North en-
couraged with a bid Of two no trunps,
which South carried to three. The
opening lead was the queen Of hearts.
South won the trick with the ace and
Immediately started to attack the
spade suit by leading the eight from
his own hand. Vests jack was cov-
cred by North's queen and East won
with the king.
Having no more hearts, East made
the logical return Of the Jack of clubs.
South ducked. West played an encour-
aging card and East obediently drove
out dummy's blank ace of clubs. Re-
entering his own hand with the queen
Of diamonds. the declarer played the
seven of spades and ducked in dummy
when West showed out. East hope
lessly returned the jack Of diamonds,
which Immediately indicated that he
held no more clubs Otherwise, clubs
would have been continued. The de-
clarer could not count every card In
the opponents hands.
The diamond rode to dummy's king
and two spades were laid down. South
first discarded a diamond and, when
West lst 90 of q club, threw q club
himself on the second spade. The lead
of the ace of diamonds squeezed West.
He could not afford to drop heart
otherwise, south's king and ten Of
hearts would be good. So he was
forced to bare down to the blank king
of clubs. South played the queen of
clubs and West, thrown in at the
eleventh trick, was forced to lead
away from his Jack-nine Of hearts
INTO the declarers hng-ten, giving
South his contract Of three no trumps.

Hospitality Not Truly Shown

THE Good Taste Girls were meeting
at Gracs's home. One Of the

was q nice girl and had been much
entertained since she arrived.
She was talking when Nancy walked

and so and so and such one. They
gave me the incest tea. Can you tell
me what I should do to pay back my
debts, Mrs. Page?"
The Good Taste Girls looked ut
Nancy out of the corners Of their eyes.
They had heard Nancy express her

debts taht needed to be paid. They
had an idea Of what she would say.

Behavior
By ANGELO PATH.

thing before. It must have been

with. II they had let him alone, he
would never have done It. But he
says he was alone. We can't hnd
anybody who was With him. don't
understand it. Why should he 60
bad al of q sudden7"
He didn't 90 bad all Of a sudden.
Nobody ever does. Before an idea
becomes behavior 1t has TO be a DOM
inant idea, which means that II must
be strong enough to push al oppos-
ing ideas out Of the way. It takes
time to season an idea to the stage
of expression. You can be certain
that behavior. good or bad, has a
background Of time and experience.
The idea has roots.
That is why 1t is 30 hard to cor
rect a fault A simple telling, how
ever emphatic, will not accomplish
the changes. A punishment, however
well directed and logical. will not set
tie the matter. Nor will rules and
regulations ana MARKS and reports
and scoldings and promises Of reward
or punishment. 1t took time and ex-
perience to cultivate the idea tosthe
stage of growth where it came
through IN behavior, and II will take
time to cultivate the opposite idea
to the stage Of power where it will
dominate the mind Of the child and
become behavior.
When . child pliers, tells lies.
runs away from home. does any of
the distressing things that misguided
children do, We must reckon with
this notion. After checking the
demonstration promptly, the next
thing to do is to study how to
strengthen the opposing and righteous
idea as soon as possible.
We applaud children too seldom.
They do q thousand fine things which
we accept without so much as a
smile of appreciation. No word Of
praise comes from us for good deeds
done. But let the child make one
| mistake in the day, and we are upon
him with the full weight of authority
We make wrQngdoing dramatic, but
We ignore Righteousness.
Whenever child does well he
ought to be told about it. I don't
mean that he ought TO be accom-
panied by a brass band wherever he
goes, but do mean that some sign
of appreciation Of right doing must
be accorded him. Good marks must
be praised and rewarded in some
way. When a good report card is ac-
cepted with no more than bring me
q pen" there Is little chance of that
child'S straining himself to bring
home another one soon.
1t is unwise to overstrcss a mis-
take. Think il over before pouncing
upon the wrongdoer Study how to
strengthen the opposing idea rather
than how TO punish and suppress
the wrong one. Keep the emphasis
on the right idea rather than upon
the wrong one. Once the thing is
done. and the results recorded in
terms Of punishment and suppress
sion, refrain from mentioning it..
Don't keep digging up Q fault, don't
keep 1t alive and hope to kill it.
Behavior is an expression of an
idea. seasoned by time and expert
! ence. Treat it in that light and
things will work out better.

Of the oaks, the yellow of the beeches
mingled with the dark green of the
trees that hold their leaves all Winter
had been a glorious sight. 1t was the
joyous harvest season, the season of
content and preparation for the hard
days to come. But there was little Joy
in the Green Forest. 1t was as II q
shadow lay over it even on the sun
niest days, a shadow that brought with
it q chill. Fear and hate were abroad
in the Green Forest and because OF
one person, Spite the Marten.
The smallest folk feared him with
great fear, for he was smart hunter
and he was still too much Of stranger
for them to know how to avoid and
outwit him Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel had left the Green Forest and gone
over near Farmer Browns to live, and
the measure Of their fear was the fact
that they had LEFT in the middle Of
the harvest. Thunderer the Grouse
and Mrs. Grouse were growing thin
from constant watchfulness, whereas
they should have been growing fat on
beechnuts and acorns. Yowler the
Bobcat and Reddy Fox were filed
with hate, for Spite was making their
own hunting too often unsuccessful.
As for Spite, he cared not at all for
either the fear or hate he had aroused,
for he had no friends and wanted
none. He lived by himself for himself,
and 50 long as he had enough to eat
without too much work getting it he
was content. And then he disappeared

for his old home in the deep woods
on the Great Mountain. He didn't
say good-by to any one. NO one
saw him go.
II was several days before the little
people of the Green Forest began to
suspect that either something had
happened to Spite or he had gone
away. Cautiously they began to move
about more freely. As nothing was
seen or heard Of him, they soon
realized that he was no longer q source
Of constant danger, and thsre was
great rejoicing.
Sammy Jay carried the news 70
Happy Jack and Chatterer the Red
Squirrel over at Farmer Browns.

said Happy Jack. Anyway, I am
content right over here. and here I
am going to stay"
ChattsFsr. hows@sf, thinking Of his
partly filled storehouses and inter-
rupted harvest, decided to return. At
first he was very nervous, but like the
others soon decided that the danger
was over and settled down to work
to make up for lost time.
So happy days returned to the Green
Forest. Acorns and sweet little beech
nuts were plentiful. Thunderer the
Grouse, Mrs. Grouse and the children
who had escaped ate daily until their
crops could hold no more. Buster Bear
shuf1ed about, getting his share, and
Liqhtfoot the Deer, Mrs. Lightfoot and
her twins were on hand, for they are
very fond Of peechnuts and acorns.
And working to make up for lost time
Chatterer was too busy from morning
10 night to quarrel with his neighbors
as he has been known to do 50 often.
Yes, indeed, those were happy days
in the Green Forest as the little people
grew fat with good living and thus
prepared fof days ahead when there
would be little food, and that hard
to get.
