take 6 finesse. West would again gain the lead and 50, for want of a better play, might continue the spades, especially if he held the king and a small diamond.
 If West did have such a hold ing, East could see a chance of de- feating the contract if he could get his partner to shift suits. Therefore, he played his highest spade on the first trick, hoping his partner would read that East wanted him to shift to the higher of the unplayed suits. Now 1t is true that his partner might read 1t for @ singleton. It is also true that, if declarer were to run of the club suit, West would have a hard time reading that 1t was dia- monds to which East wanted him to shift. But, after all, South had big clubs and hearts and there certainly was no harm in trying the play.
 Of course, South had ten cold tricks, but you can see what would happen if he did play the

Every day new uses are being found for the defensive suit-direct- ing signal" There are times when you can use this play even though 1t may be hard for your partner to identify 1t. Take for example today's hand, which came up in the Individual Tournament at the Crockford club of New York.

Now if West read his partners nine of spades, not for single ton, but for 8 shift, and played the king of diamonds, East would run off six diamond tricks and, in stead of declarer analsing six no trump, as could be made by any other play but diamond, he would go down three tricks.
 Numerous occasions arise every day when this new defensive suit-directing signal" may be used. Watch for them.

BEGIN HERE TODAY

KAY DUNN, pretty young nurse, is hired as . stewardess on Over land Airways and, the same day, meets TED GRAHAM, veteran pilot who flies the trans Pacific route.
 Kay is assigned to the western division of the service. MONTE ELAINE, apprentice pilot, pays her marked attentions. Monte is daring, romantic, but Kay is more interested in Ted. She and DICKIE, Ted's adopted 7-year- old son, become close friends.
 Ted leaves on g flight across the Pacific. Monte and RALPH BANGS, another pilot, call at Rays apartment one evening, de- eide to hold . house warming. DORIS LEE, a stewardess and close friend of Rays, arrives, an- nouncing that land planes are grounded because of fog.
 Other guests come later. Though the evening passes gaily, Kay thinks of Ted over the Pacific and is worried.

CHAPTER x

Kay knew that two things stood above all else in Ted Graham's life his adopted son, Dickie, and his job. And she knew, too, that she had come to idolize and to love Ted Graham.
 It rather surprised her. She had always imagined that she wanted the man she loved to be gay and im- pulsive, to sweep her off her feet. Monte Blaine was such man. Monte had tried to sweep her of her feet with his impetuous manner, but Kay distrusted him. He seemed only to seek new sensations, te think of having a good time at the moment, with never 8 thought for the future.
 While Ted was away on the Pa cific flight, the other pilots kidded Kay mercilessly. Ted, they said, was the last man in the world to whom a girl should lose her heart. They all had heard him say, over and over, that romance, for him, was behind. He was never going to fall in love again.
 Then he returned.
 He came down out of the skies, after two weeks of gazing at the blue Pacific, and the first person he saw on shore was Kay Dunn. Dick1e was at her side, trim in his grey military uniform.
 1t seemed so natural that the pair should be there, waiting TOT him. To Ted Graham'S disciplined

"I think we'll dine in a restaurant, he said, "as usual"
 But Kay stepped out of the car. "No," she said. "You go to the cor- ner grocery and buy steak this big!" She spread her arms. And all the trimmings mushrooms, po- tatoes, tomatoes. Bring them back to the house here. And don't for get brick of ice-cream for Dickie." "
 She didn't wait for reply. She went inside with Dickie at her heels. Ted looked after them, snil- ing, then drove of toward the gro- cery.
 Sato was pleased to have Kay in the kitchen. He had usually worked in a house where there was a missy" and padded around in his sandals, grinning, and showing her the kitchen implements-all of them spotleSsly clean. Sato did know one thing about a kitchen.
 Steak velly good" he said. "Velly easy to cook. put him in the stove, then I go out and sit in the sun Pretty soon he is done. Sometime one hour. Sometime two hours"
 Kay went about her preparations for the diner as if she were in her own little apartment. Dickie and Sato both helped.
 In a few minutes Ted was at the door again with the groceries. Kay didn't look up from the salad bowl. Did you remember to buy butter?" she asked.
 Ted beamed with pride. "But- teri" he said, holding out the pack age.
 Kay inspected the steak Skep- tically, but found it to be of excel lent quality. It was certainly large enough.
 I'm really hungry" Ted said.
 "Then take Dickie in the living room and tell him all about your flight from Manila" she said. "Sato and I will manage here in the kitchen"
 When he hesitated, she said, Please. Dickie has been dying to near aDOuC your Ilp!
 Ted went then with Dickie, and she could hear the murmur of their voices. Dickie's high and shrlll. Ted's voice quiet and full of that resolution that Kay so much ad- mired.
 She wanted, herself, to hear the details of the trip. She wanted to know what he had done in Hono- lulu, what was going on in Manila. She wanted to know what Ted hao brought to Dickie.
 She heard one loud cry of delight from the child and knew Ted had given him some present from one of those fabulous lands. Then she was busy for a few minutes with the steak, and heard nothing more.
 When the steak was Steaming on the huge platter and garnished with red and green, she turned and saw Ted, in the doorway of the kitchen, regarding her with fervent smile.
 Kay blushed. Her sleeves were rolled up and her face was damp from the heat.
 q must look 8 fright!" she said. You'll give me 8 minute to-"
 T was just thinking what 8 mar velous person you really are" Ted said. And how pretty you look. With that hair"
 T know" she said. "It's red. Please don't poke fun at my cat green eyes. I was born with them. They weren't painted on"
 Ted laughed.

mind it seemed well-ordered, exact- ly right.
 Kay sensed this and, for some req son she could not have explained, she felt annoyed that he should ac- cept the incident in such 8 mat ter-of-fact way. She had gone to the military school to get Dickie, had secured leave for him to come to meet his father. Kay thought that Ted should have been thrilled at this reception.
 There is no doubt, though, that he was pleased to see Dickie once more. He took the boy in his arms, lifting him high until Dickie, recall ing his military dignity, asked to be put down.
 Regulations, sirl" Diclzie said. No Scuffling in uniform"
 Dickie was inordinately proud of Ted in his flying togs.
 Ted said to Kay, And how is the job on Overland Airways?"
 It was Dickie who replied for her. Pal lives here now, and works. Right on the beach near US. I had dinner with her almost every night during the holidays"
 Ted looked at the girl moment, then said quietly, T think you will like it better at the airport here. There's more life. Do you like the colony?"
 q adore them all," she told him.
 His eyes were searching hers steadily. T thank you for looking after Dickie-during his holidays. I'm afraid Jerry lets him run wild. The Japanese boy who tends the house is supposed to look after him, but he doesn't"
 "Sato doesn't cook as good as Kay, either" Dickie put in, and they both laughed.
 Dickie went on, T don't like the military school any more. I'd rather stay at home!"
 But all little boys have to go to school" Kay said.
 T could stay at home and go to day school" Dickie said, fearful. T don't like to stay up in the barracks every night. It's cold. And dark"
 Kay patted his head. "Now, that isn't being a big soldier. Brace up. Be brave"
 But I want to live at home" Dickie repeated. T never had a home-like yours-with flowers III the windows and pretty curtains. There's nothing at the barracks but iron beds and bare walls"
 Ted put hand on the boys shoul- der and they walked toward the roadster. Kay began to talk of trivial, impersonal things = the weather and the new Bay bridge. Ted nodded occasionally, but he was looking straight ahead, looking at nothing. He didn't seem to hear what she was saying.
 He was thinking about the things Dickie had just said. Perhaps the kid was lonely in the barracks.
 They drove up the beach to Ted's little house on the shore. For 8 few moments they watched the other children playing games on CLle SaAlu' Then Ted opened the door of the car. Sato came running out to greet them, his mouth in 8 toothy grin.
 Its almost 6; why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Ted said to Kay.
 "Yes!" Dickie said eagerly. "Yes! She can help Sato cook it better"
 Kay cried out with gay laughter. Ted was apologetic.
 "Dickie! You don't ask a lady to dinner and then tell her to go cook it."
 Dinner ready" the Japanese said, with his toothy grin redoubled. '"Pork and beans. Boss home from long trip. Me open six cans. Got coffee, too"
 Kay bent double with laughter, but Dickie was almost indignant. Pork and beans again, Sato!"
 "Six cans. You no like 'em? l fix you bread and milk"
 Tad turned the switch in the car.

CTATUES and stamps honor the Y character of the typical South American who helped develop that continent and liberate it from Spanish tyranny. He is the "gaucho," the cowboy who not only tended cattle, but was trap per. hunter, and pioneer over the broad pampas of. South America.
 The gaucho is a survival of Spanish colonial days. Son of a Spanish father and Indian moth- CT. he was more white than In- dian, and became the pioneer of white civilization in the plains of Uruguay and Argentina.
 When word of revolution spread through the land in 1910, the gaucho was first to take up arms, load his horse with food and am munition, and join the patriot arr mics. For more than decade he fought, and finally gained inde- Nendence. Today, he is the chief Nement in the agricultural devel- Apment of Uruguay and Argen-
