But the very next hand proved the
fallacy of that. Following 1t re-

Fine Points in Bridge

Vests X. The club 8 was returned
to the X and East ruffed with his
spade s. This set the contract be-
cause there was no way to avoid
a loser in clubs and one In hearts.
All that South had to do 10
make his contract was to play 10
the spade A Immediately after
winning the club lead. and then
another spade, which would have
made the defenders trumpless. A
more experienced declarer would
have reckoned that Vests vulner-
able overcall must have included
the spade K and also a six-card
suit. since West was a pretty ex-
perienced player not given to ire
ouent doubtful overcalls when
vulnerable.
OF course, IL the spade hnes:e
had worked, the declarer could
have made an extra trick above
his contract, but was that worth
risking the. whole business!

Contrasting Walls

MODERN DECORATORS are
demonstrating the effectiveness of
contrasting walls in one room. A
living room. for example. is partic-
ularly charming with three walls
painted a delicate willow green,
the fourth patterned with an all
over flower design stenciled in
blue-violet and green on a white
ground.
A bedroom, following the same
mode of decoration. has three walls
painted a delicate pink and the
fourth stenciled in a large allover
flower design in deep rose on a
white ground. The furnishings in
the room are of the new bleached
oak and the windows are framed
in sheer pink fabric pulled through
a white lattice.

Party Snack

A DELICIOUS starter for that
luncheon party is this frivolous
canape. Trim thin slices of white
bread to make three-inch squares.
Spread squares with deviled ham
and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Press nuts into ham. Add slight
sprinkle of grated onion.
Bring together two opposite
corners of the bread squares.
Fasten with toothpicks to form
cornucopias. Brush outside bread
lightly with melted butter. Toast
in broiler or hot oven.
