In other words, with enough
strength to bid two clubs, plus
length in hearts. she might have
passed on the first round to see
II the opponents would get into
trouble in the "other major"
It seemed clear to Mr.. Cham
pion, then, that the hearts were
held by the enemy and that they

dnd a paying sacrifice spot if
permitted to get together at the

jumped to four spades. If what

happened to fit his hand. four
spades might be makeable. # he
went down. then it was good
bet the opponents could make
four hearts.
Mr.. Abel opened the king of
hearts and after thinking very

heart trick he didn't have to
lose.
Mr.. Muzzy was watching. "Too

Dear Neighbor:

Dear Nelghbor:
Highlight of the inauguration,
without doubt, was the inaugu.
raj address delivered by President
Eisenhower in which he outlined
nine fixed principles to guide this
country in pressing its case for
peace before the bar of history.
Many observed the address and
these principles as the broadcast
internationalist declaration to come
from the mouth of any Republican
President, as President Eisenhow-
er closely embraced the present
foreign policy initiated under Pre-
sident Truman.
The new President treasured
Europe that America would not re-
treat from its role of world lead
ership and endorsed the continual
ton of our Point Four Program
as a means to strive to helD orr
proven friends of freedom achieve
their own security and well-being.
In his address he rejected any
insinuation that one race or an
other is in any sense interior or
expendible, which appeared to cor
rect the impression left by Presi-
dent Eisenhower early in the poll
teal campaign TO ''let Asians fight
Asians." He, also urged this coun-
try'S participation in the United
Nations to help strengthen the
bonds between the free nations of
the world and stated that we
should respect the United Nations
as the living sign Of all peoples
hope for peace and to strive 10
make it not merely an eloquent
symbol but an effective force.
President Eisenhower's address,
while it was bad news for the so
called iSolationist wing Of his own
party, was given bipartisan praise
by Members Of Congress and
hailed by leaders throughout the
world as reinsurance that he would
promote most of our present policy
in the foreign field
The stand taken by President
also hit the stand Of members Of
his own party who have announced
opposition to the United States
participation and membership in
the United Nations. II was. On the
other hand. reaSsnTing 10 those
Americans who believe that within
the United Nations lies the hope az
creating and instrument 10 achieve
a free and peaceful world

a-glint, soft, full mouth smiling.
HE just wanted to. Why shouldn't
he buy me pretty things, IL he
wants tor"
mo reason at all" said Anthea
quietly. She told herself, No rea-
SON at all ! should believe you,
my poppet, without q little more
proof. And yet somehow, when
they joined Joe and Ivor in the
long white-and-gold bar for cock
tails before dinner, she could not
bring herself to ask him.
On a tall stool at the bar near
them, a dark, dapper man in q
white dinner jacket was sitting,
drinking alone. From his high
perch he could watch people enc
tering the bar through the long
mirror which ran along the back.
As the four of them came forward
he turned round, a bland, smiling
dark face, bright, intelligent,
ruthless eyes, and q scar, q long
jagged scar running from left lip
to left eye. Gina was leaning her
shoulders against the bar as he
swiveled round on his stool. She
looked up and was still, frozen.
For a moment they stared at each
other, and the color ebbed slowly
out of her lovely face, and then
flushed back again. bright and
quick.
Hello, baby?" said the man on
the stool. Anthea was conscious
of swords being crossed, bright,
tapering test of strength.
Joe watched, his eyes observant
and quick upon Gina's face.
Young Ivor flushed and started
forward, but Joe's hand moved
gently on to his arm. Gina had
recovered herself.
well, what d'you knows she
said smilingly. Larry Donati.
And what brings you to this part
of the world?"
