optulilg ledQ, king OF SpaueS.
The technique Of the cross-ruff Is
not very difficult. The problem as to
whether or not to play a cross
ruff is something harder to solve.
Declarer may have the further
choice of setting up a side suit in
dummy and the selection of the
better line Of play involves the Use
of sound Judgment rather than the
application of fixed rules.
One thing is certain. Before em-
barking on the cross-ruff voyage the
player should be able to count in
high cards and ruffs the number OF
tricks required to fulfill contract,
always bearing in mind that If the
lead is ever relinquished the oppo-
nents will no doubt lead trumps in
an attempt to spoil the party.
In today's hand South became the
declarer at contract of six dia-
monds doubled, which he failed to
fulfill because he overlooked
fundamental principle of cross-ruft
technique, which is the prompt
cashing of high cards.
The bidding was somewhat weird.
No one seemed to have clear idea
of what was going on, and all ap-
peared to be swept away in the
bidding rhythm South's refusal to
pass the five-spade bid around to
his partner, who might wish to ap-
plv the ak, was a gem of impro.
priety. but that is not the point at
issue.
The king of spades was opened and
ruffed, then club was ruffed in
dummy. another spade in the closed
hand. This thing went merrtly on
until the fourth round OF spades, at
which point East discarded the nine
of hearts. Declarer now aWoke to
the necessity of cashing heart tricks.
but it was too late. He was able to
cash only one of them and East was
able to ruff the other and return a
trump.
Declarer had been blessed with
great fortune. All his trumps were
high, so that there was no danger
of an overruff He could count five
diamond tricks in each hand and
the ace and king of heart for a total
of II tricks. But in croSs-ruffing 1t
is imperative to cash the high cards
early in the play. The reason is that
as you proceed on your criss-cross
adventure one of the adversaries Is
going to run out of the suit you are
ruffing and will be at liberty to take
discards. They will naturally dis
card the suit in which you have your
high cards. as in this case East dis
carded a heart.

What Is Your Pet Speech Pseve

What is Your Pet speech FEeVe'
Mrs. r. S. G. Of Ardmore, Okla.
makes what appears to be. an ex-
cellent suggestion: "Why don't YOU
ask you readers to send you their
pet speech peeVes? This might. re-
suit in lot of good material for
your column. My own pet. speech
peeve is misuse Of the self words,
as, MY wife and myself are going;
they invited my wife and myself
Get's try 1t out. Send your pet
speech peeve to me in care Of this
paper. If I use yours In this COL
umn, I'll send you free an auto
graphed copy Of my Practical Hand
book of Better English).
Mrs. G's peeve is directed against
a quite common error. He who says,
'"They invited my wife and myself"
is usually uncertain Of his personal
pronouns. Not being sure whether
he should say, "They invited my
wife and 1" or ". me-" he sub
Istitutes myself" as a neat way out
of the dilemma. But he merely
makes bad matters worse.
These are the sell WOfdS.
Myself, thysef, yourself. your
selves, ourselves, herself, himself.
itself. oneself and themselves.
The self words serve two pur-
poses: Cd They are used to empha-
size the personal pronouns; 90 they
direct the action toward that which
is spoken of.
Examples:
% Emphasis-I myself am to
blame. You do it yourself. We our
selves must take the lead.
/ (2) Directing action-She bought
it for herself. He is sure of him
self, The storm blew itself out.
To solve the They invited my
wife and II? me?)" problem, simply
omit my wife and" thus: They in
vited me. Therefore: They in
vited my wife and me.
Wrong-"The British and our
selves are Allies Correct-"The
British and we are Allies"
Wrongs and myself were In
vited.' Right-"She and I were
invited"
Wrong-"They referred to Jack
and herself" Right-"They re-
ferred to Jack and her"
These forms are erroneous: His
self, thenself, themselfs, theirsef.
themselves, ourselves.
