TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

The general character of this day
is Independent and domineering. Since
there is a tendency to dig deep into
mysterious things, or perhaps to use
various means or uncommon chan
nels to gain your ends, proper ap-
probation may not be gained from
associates and there is danger of con-
sequent neglect by them. This will
not necessarily cause you much worry
but you should try to avoid this lack
of appreciation in order to receive
the reward to which you are entitled.

stink about the prison yard and try to
find some way over the walls, then
scurry back to his haven at dawn.

Situations often arise at the bridge table in which partners, as a result of optimistic bidding, find themselves in contracts that are too high. However, it often hap pens that, due to the fortunate lie of the cards, the contract can be made.
 A good player is inclined to be optimistic when opposing weak players, since he feels that he can always manage to get an extra trick out of the hand.
 Tn to-day's hand, which was played by Jackson Snyder, of New York, a very fine result was ob- tained because of optimistic bidding. which was justified by the declarer's capable playing.
 Against the six heart contract, the king of spades was opened and won by dummy's ace. The queen of clubus was cashed and low dia-

from dummy and East, now being down to spades and trump, was forced to discard spade, South trumping with the four of hearts.
 Declarer now plpayed his last spade and, when West ruffed with the nine, he overruffed in dummy with the king.
 At this point declarer made a very fine safety play. His own hand was down to four trump, but instead of leading trump from the dummy, he concluded that his best line of play, since West was marked with another diamond, was to re- turn a low diamond and trump.
 He proceeded to do this and, when East trumped with the eight of hearts, he realized that all the out standing trump must be in East's hand. He therefore overtrumped with the jack of hearts and led a small heart to dummy's seven: West, of course. showing out.
 East was forced to win this with the ten and now had to lead from his queen-deuce of hearts into de- clarer's aee-six, thus limiting de- clarer's loss to one trump trick, and giving him his contract.
