Opening lead: King Of diamonds
Notice South's very fine restraint
in the bidding. He has seven Ger
tain playing tricks, but refused to
jump the bid Immediately for fear
that partner might expect q better
hand in high cards.
The two-club rebid is definitely
an underbid but it Is good policy
for the opener in all such cases to
choose the conservative course, be-
cause by the very act of opening the
bidding he advertises a good hand.
1t is sound policy not to jump when
length of suit is the only induce
ment. North also displayed good
Judgment in making a deliberate un-
derbid Of three clubs. This is proper
strategy because it permits partner
to bid three no-trump, If that con-
tract is desirable.
Against the game contract West
naturally led the king of diamonds,
which South won, extracting trumps
in one lead and then tried the
spade finesse. When this failed East
returned spade. Declarer re-
entered his hand and now tried to
win trick with the king of hearts.
That failed also. Hard luck. part
ner. 1 tried everything. All the
cards were wrong"
Luck was not to be blamed. De-
clarer had not tried everything. AS
badly as the cards were laid out
against him, after the opening lead
there was nothing the defense could
do to defeat the contract If declarer
availed himself of every oppor-
tunity.
His first play should not be the
drawing of trump, but the ruffing
Of a diamond in dummy. His own
hand is re-entered with a trump
and the last diamond ruffed in
dummy. The South hand entered
again with a trump and this time
heart is led. West plays low and
dummy should play the ten of hearts.
East wins with the jack and Is
unable to make a return which will
not cost him trick. A diamond
return permits declarer to discard
from his own hand and ruff in
dummy. A heart return sets up the
king OF hearts for a spade discard
and a spade return into the ace
queen obviously loses a trick. II
declarer pulls one round of trump
before ruffing a diamond the hand
is lost.
Tomorrow's Problem.

been looking for it, 1t contained rude
bench, made of two boulders.
The guests exclaimed on the beauty of
the spot, its charm, and especially its cute
ness In low voice, not meant for Miss
Anderson's ears, Trudie explained that she
and George hadn't been able to decide just
what to do with the place. They'd thought
of building summer house here, but they
we're afraid it was too far from the house.
What did the others think?
why not leave it the way it is?" said
Miss Anderson, and sat down. why not
just use it for what we used it for "a place
where couple can come and spoon?'
Evening star., 1945-11-25

things as they found em? If a house is
worth buying, it we'll built; and if it's we'll
built - why monkey with it?"
Herbert, distressed, kept his voice low;
but it was apparent from Miss Andersons
next remark that he had pointed out that
after all the Blakes did own this house now.
They could own dog but would that
give 'em any right to beat it with stick?'
Downstairs again, she was quieter. She
looked sightlessly over Trudie's head when
Trudie cried that it was so nice that she
was able to come and see the old place again,
and she must come back any time she felt
like it - any time at all - and wasn't it
interesting how after all these years she
knew just where everything was?
"Cept what's been changed around
Miss Anderson took Herbert's arm. "One
more thing want to see. It's out back"
There was a certain amount of staggering,
because of course Trudie and George Blake
had put in the bathroom. This did not dis
concert Miss Anderson She marched through
the kitchen, and her hand fell accurately on
the knob of the back door.
Trudie and George hadn't done much
around about the back Of the house. They
hadn't had time; and then, what with the
war, it had been so hard to get help, The
grass was cut only near the house. A trellis
had been set around the cooking gas tank,
and ramblers trained over it; but otherwise
the place was much as they had found it.
There were some fruit trees, old and saggy.
There was an oak which must have been
sapling when Miss Anderson first saw it.
"One more place want to go to. She
walked firmly, rather guiding Herbert than
being guided by him. The others followed.
IHEY crossed a slanted, boulder-strewn
meadow where the weeds stood high, and
came to the edge of a small slanted wood
There was clump of sumac, and inside of
this, because of half-buried rock over
which the sumac couldn't grow, was
natural grotto or retreat. 1t was utterly
secluded You never would have found it,
or suspected its existence, if you hadn't
Evening star., 1945-11-25

That old-fashioned word caused smiles,
but nobody laughed aloud The truth was -
they sensed change in Miss Anderson. She
sat leaning forward little, as though listen
ing to something the Others couldn't hear,
and her hands we're on the stone on either
side of her, not supporting her but resting
there lightly: it was a singularly graceful
pose, for all her tininess, and for all her
bones and wrinkles, Miss Anderson was
graceful figure.
''I1l bet you did some of that spooning
yourself, Miss Anderson" one of the guests
said playfully.
II spooned here with one man; he was
man that said he was going to marry me -
but didn't
she had started on something, and when
Herbert tried to shush her, she shushed him
right back, sharply. MAYBE itl do me good
to talk about it, she pursued. He was a
sailor Lived over at Stonington. His name
was Alb Hardness, and he was captain of his
own ship when he was only twenty four.
Owned four shares in her. too. He was going
to China and we sat right here and he kissed
me and told me he was going to marry me
when he came back.
well, believed him, and l waited for
him. He was gone almost year. / could
have got husband at least three different
times while he was away. was just ripe for
it = was pretty, and had two good eyes
in those days. l was seventeen and then
eighteen. Just the right age for girl to get
husband. But told them no.
well, Alb came back - and he had
wife with him. He'd married her out there
in China, and she was real Chinee woman,
all rigged out in the craziest silk clothes you
ever did see. Alb couldn't keep his eyes off
her. Could hardly keep his hands off her, for
that matter. Used to take her out for trips
in the little sailboat he had down by the
Point Used to take her around to his friends
houses and show her off Folks said she must
have cast foreign spell over him. He GER
tainly acted like that.
''He even brought her here to this house.
Never said word to me about how he'd
promised to marry me. Just watched her all
the time Mother and Father didn't like it,
but they served him glass of elderbery
wine and l played the piano the way I'd
been taught.
Then somebody called out front, from
the road - somebody that was passing in a
surrey - and Father and Mother went out
there l went right on playing too mad to
look around After while l stopped and
looked around, and they weren't there any

Miss Anderson moved her chin a little.
Her voice was dry and even. Il disremember
whether we left the andirons in the fireplace
when we moved out, or whether we took
them with us?"
They're the same andirons; they're still
there" Trudie whispered.
