Selected Poem
SPRING FIRE

Mary Atwater Taylor in the Christian
 Science Monitor) If ever you were foolish, If ever you were blest, If ever April caught you And held you to her breast; If ever you ran, shouting, Mad with the springs young green, Through jonquil-studded meadow, You'll know the fire I mean! It only comes in April, It only comes to those Whom Nature rocks against her heart, Whose gladness overf1ows; And when the call comes hailing, Enslaving, snaring you, All else forgot you'll follow Her flags of green and blue!

TAKING SURE LOSERS

In PLAYING for a no trump
game it is almost invariably better,
if you have other suits safely
stopped, to take the sure losers
at the top Of some suit for the pur-
pose Of building lower cards, than
to try an early finesse in another
suit. If your fnesse fails, you may
not then have enough rounds left
to set up your winning trick in the
