MAKING HIM MISERABLE

SOME OF the defenses put up
against hopeful declarers are little
short Of cruel. They make the
poor chaps flguratvely weep, wall
and gnash their teeth, as they see
tricks slip away which they ex-
pected to get. But perhaps the
cruelest OF all Is the kind which
makes the declarer think you hold
certain cards and thereby mis-
leads him into beating himself. II
that won't make him miserable, 1t
Is hard to think of anything that
will.
