II is wise 10 apply the first coat
of shellac on the floors of new

are laid. Stairtreads and all ex-
posed woodwork can be similarly
protected. Then the floors and

Avoid Waste
Space in Home

Much waste space may be
avoided in the planning of small
homes by considering the proper
of wall spaces, Correct
location OF door and window open
ings provides the maximum amount
of wall space for furniture and
thus gives far greater INABILITY 10
the home.
In the bedroom, for instance.
the relationship between wall open
ings and wall space should permit
an arrangement of furniture which
does not require walking around a
bed in order TO reach the entrance
door, closet or dresser.
If possible, wall space and win
dow openings should avoid win
dow Immediately over a bed. When
this arrangement cannot he
avoided, the window location should
be as near the foot Of the bed as
possible. in order 10 minimize the
danger from cross drafts.

West opened the deuce Of hearts,
dummy played low and East won
with the king. He debated within
himself whether to return the 10
of hearts or the 10 of diamonds,
finally selecting the latter. South
was much relieved at this choice, for
a heart return would have given
him no play for his contract. He
played the king of diamonds and
West took the ace. West then re-
turned a diamond, South winning
with the queen.
Declarer next led a club to the
ace and returned a low club. East
winning with the king. East shifted
to the 10 of hearts (too late as 1t
turned ouD and South carefully
played low, winning the trick with
dummy's ace. The jack Of hearts
had to be saved for another purpose.
Declarer drew East's last trump,
ruffed the low diamond in dummy,
then returned to his hand with the
spade ace. At this point the OBJ
vious play was to finesse through
West for the spade queen in order
to get rid of the losing heart, but
South saw no need to try the OBJ
vious play when he could employ
surer methods.
He simply led out the last two
trumps, discarding a heart and a
spade from dummy. All hands were
reduced to two cards and one Of
Vests two cards was known to be
the queen of hearts. When South
led his low spade and West played
the 10 1t was Immediately apparent
that the finesse would not work, but
that the queen was blank in East's
hand. The play of dummy's spade
king caught the queen, after which
the Jack allowed South to discard
the losing heart and make his con-
tract.
