Opening lead: Queen Of hearts.
Many times in the defense Of a
hand it becomes evident that if
declarer Is permitted to continue
along his even course, he will just
naturally fall into the fulfillment
of his contract because of the for
tunate distribution of the cards. In
such cases the only hope of the
defense rests with their ability to
throw dust into the eyes of the
declarer and trust that he will
cttYt,oh1A I,fe fu,A
An effective bit of camoufiage was
perpetrated by the East of todays
hand. The bidding was quite accu-
rate, though North had q choice Of
rebids after his partners spade re-
sponse. He quite properly refused
to consider rebid of the diamonds.
| If the future of the hand should
lie in no-trump he ought to be the
declarer to protect his two kings
from immediate attack on the OPEN
ing lead. If partners holding is
Indifferent the hand might just as
we'll be played at one no-trump. An
alternate bid which many players
would have preferred was a single
spade raise. South's jump rebid
was indicated and North now took
the opportunity to show mild spade
support.
The queen of hearts was opened
and declarer improperly went up
with the king The play is unsound
because East is definitely marked
with the ace. 1t is inconceivable
that West would have led the queen
from the ace-queen against q suit
contract A better chance is to
hope that the ace will drop on the
second round, which will be the
case If West has five-card suit.
And If West happens to have six
hearts. the ace will be alone. How
ever, the play made no difference
in this case. Three heart tricks
were cashed and then club was
led. Declarer took this with the
ace and entered dummy with a dia-
mond in order to take the trump
flneSse.
When the deuce of spades was led
East did some quick thinking. De-
clarer surely had five-card spade
suit headed by the ace-Queen. uf
West had the queen there was moth
ing to worry aboutD If the ten of
spades were played declarer would
surely finesse the queen and the ace
would drop the king, clearing up
the trump situation. There was
just one way to beat the hand. So
East promptly played the king of
spades. South won with the ace
and could not be blamed for think
ing the king was singleton, and that
West consequently had originally
four to the ten. He therefore
finessed the nine of spades on the
return and East gobbled it up will
the ten. A diamond return gave his
partner ruff and defeated the con-
tract two tricks.

Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
What Is the Origine

@. Will you please explain why We
use the term Orient in referring to
the countries of Asia?
A. The word orient Is from the
Latin oriri, Ito rise" From oriri
came oriens, "the rising sun; hence,
the east, as part of the sky; hence,
the countries of Asia generally. The
Orient, then, stands for the East.
Now the word orient is also used
as verb. meaning Ito place SO as
