The fish seem to stay in the Flor
ida Straits which connect the At
lantic and the Gulf. They say
fishing is even better in the sum-
mer.
'"The street on which my hotel
faced runs from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, a
distance of less than two miles.
After the railroad service was
ruined several years ago the city
almost died on its feet, but the
government took hold through the
WPA and it is gradually working
back. With the completion of the
Overseas Highway next Winter,
Il expect a mild boom there.
"Even now Key West is well
worth a trip. With the compile
ton of the road it will be a real
experience to drive along a stretch
of concrete highway with the At
lantic on one side and the Gulf of
Mexico on the other. There are
many interesting things to see in
Key West, including a salt water
open-air aquarium that is exceed
ingly interesting"

as balmy as that in Key West.

seen hundreds Of times before. He
sought for and found every IA
mi.iar outline, pang of regret
striking through him as he noted
the ravages time had wrought.
A moment in silent contenapla-
ton and he moved on to reenter
his car. But he did not press the
starter at once. Instead, he sat
lost in retrospection permitting his
soul to reve1 in mellow memories
of pleasant yesteryears gone new
er to return.
Before his minds eye, the roll
ing hills of the horizon faded out
to give place to the multi-co,ored
waters off bit of coral isle; the
stir OF the leaves Of nearby oaks
became the rustic of semi-tropic
breezes through palm trees along
a broad boulevard half encircling
an island city; the distance-muted
songs of negro plowmen became
the thrum of guitars, played by
lovesiek Latin SWANS under a
moon such as only Key Westers
know.
Isle OF Enchantment
He could see the soft spring
sunshine bathing quaint two
storied store buildings, the more
exotic and beguiling because o.
their innocence of paint; he
caught a glimpse of Garrison
Blight. a half-score of fishing
boats swaying gently to the mo-
tion of sleepy wapelets; he could
hear the soft murmer of Cuban
Spanish from behind shutters al
ways closed; there was the ''tang"
of clean salt air in his nostrils.
For minutes ON end, his dreams
held him.
Then, reluctantly, he came back
to the present, shook himself mem
tally and touched the starter.
And, as he turned his way rath-
er YEARLY to the hurry and the
cares of big city, he realized
that he was only one Of thousands
perhaps who have known for a
time and then lost forever the
content of a real is,e of enehant-
ment.

He Was Blind, but

THERE has come to us an amusing
story of a blind bridge player
whose afiction seemed in no way q
handicap. While we cannot vouch
for the veracity OF the story. it serves
nevertheless as an excellent illustra-
ton of the differences possible at the
bridge table. 1t seems that the blind
man was playing three no-trump
contract and West, the leader, was q
player who never varied from the &C.
cepted formula of fourth best from his
longest and strongest suit.

When West opened the deuce of
clubs, the blind man, knowing that
the lead showed a four card suit, lost
no time in winning with his ace. AS
the story goes, he next played the ace
and king of hearts, whereupon his
partner, the dummy, looked At him
askance, as he had established three
heart tricks for East. The dummy, Of
course, called out the cards as they
were played, and when he announced
that West had discarded small spade
on the second heart lead, the blind
man said, Don't worry, am about
to make a small SIAM"
AS declarer next played the jack
OF diamonds, he announced to the
dummy, win the trick with the ace.
You are about to catch East's SINGLE
ton king" When East somewhat
sheepishly dropped his singleton king,
the blind man said, "You have the
king and one spade which am about
to pick up by single finesse."
This, OF course. came about ~
prophesied, and after the blind man
had run of IL tricks, his partner, COM
pletely mystihed, inquired as to how
the cards has been located 50 accurate.
ly. The blind man replied, II know
West always opens four best from his
longest and strongest suit. The OPEN
ing lead showed that that suit was
queen-high; and when he failed to
follow on the second heart lead. he WAS
also marked with four little spades
and four little diamonds since, il he
had held the king of either of those
suits, he would not have opened clubs
Also If he had held a five-card suit
IN spades or diamonds, he would have
opened that suit, so actually the on
ponents' cards were an open book to
me-" W
The blind mans logic, which wa.
unassailable, Is proof of how in
ferences can be made almost . cor.
tainy by clear thinking.
