 Contract Puzzle
 It is just as important to know how to handle defensive bidding as it is to put up good defense in the play.
 Too many beginners make two different games of contract, a bid ding game and a playing game. The bidding and play have to be sym chronized. Often you are called on to prepare for defense of hand during bidding.
 Today's hand gives a good exam- pie of using cue bid defensively.

Uncle Wiggily was hopping over
the field carrying in one paw a bot
tie that had something red in it.
As the jolly old rabbit gentleman
skipped through the dried grass, he
was whistling and twinkling his
pink nose because he felt happy.
He was on his way to do a kind
ness to his fat pig gentleman friend,
Mr. Twistytail, and doing kind deeds
always makes everybody happy,
even a rabbit.
All of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
met Mr.. Stubtail, the bear.
What have you in the red bot
tie, Wiggy?' politely groWled the
bear.
"Ketchup,' answered the rabbit
gentleman. Some red ketchup that
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy made out
of tomatoes from my garden"

Stubtail.
Yes" answered Mr.. Longears.
And, if you don't believe me, take

NEW YORK, Nov T. MP-Every

are they SO plentiful as in New York
the hotel lobby cadgers. Sauve,
easy-going, we'll dressed, they never
cross the line that separates the
polite pickings of their trade from
harsher -flamming.
Several hundred are able to live
comfortably through the sheer cor
diality of their contacts with the
lonely stranger to town and without
facing the danger of arrest. They are
adroit in striking up an acquaintance
that leads to an invitation to drink.
And once this progress Is made
they have little difficulty in so IN
gratiating themselves that a small
loan is seldom refused. Sometimes a
FLYER or tenner and never more than
twenty. Some have percentage ar
rangements with bars and cabarets
to which they pilot visitors.
The truth is that many are agree
able fellows who really know the
city. House detectives tolerate them.
Usually the approach Is to ask for a
light. I am told they are mostly
without police records, often mar
ried and with families. o. Henry's
