Miss Dorothy Watkins of Glen

Speech Peeve in this little rhyme:
1t fills me with anger,
1t makes me want to night
When ! hear on the radio
The pet phrase. That's right"
They ask for your name.
It's given with delight;
The announcer repeats it
Then you say, That's right!"
You're questioned and questioned.
But fear not your plight.
You're safe II you answer ,,
The little word yes.''
Which carried such might
Has gone by the wayside;
It's now: Yes. That's right"
Any stock phrase, when it be-
comes a speech habit, and is
patterned over and over, becomes
monotonous and irritating to the
listeners. 1t is well for all of us
occasionally to inventory our vo-
cabulary. When we find one or
two phrases cropping up too
often, we should take steps to
eliminate them.

OMISSION-At an inter-
view some years ago, a re-
porter asked Ambassador
Claire Boothe Luce:
What are your favorite
hobbies, Mrs. Luce?"
Shooting, cats and pho
tography." she answered.
The interview appeared in
the paper. Almost immed-
iatefy, Mrs. Luce was bonn
barded with angry kilograms
and phone calls from indig-
nant readers. Puzzled, she
read the story again. To her
horror, she observed that the
comma separating Shoot
ing" and "cats" had been
omitted.
OBJ NCE - AS a
youngster, George Washing
ton had his heart set on
joining the British Navy. His
mother objected, however,
and he yielded to her wishes.
AS a reward, she gave him
a penknife which bore the
inscription, always obey
your superiors."
Washington carried the
knife for many years. 1t was
in his pocket during the
fateful winter at Valley
Forge. One night, his pa
tience exhausted by the dila-
tory tactics of Congress, he
wrote a letter of resignation
as Commander Chief. He
summoned his staff and read
the letter to them. One of
the officers protested.
Have you forgotten the
inscription on your knife?"
he said. you were placed in
command of the army, and
you are duty bound to lead
it until ordered to do other
wise"
Z Washington walked into
the cold night and paced
back and forth, deep in
thought. Then he took the
letter and tore it up.

Contract Bridge
By EosIey BIockwood

AS Mr.. Champion pointed out
recently, Mr.. Muzzy is weak only
on bidding, dummy play and de-
tense. Of course, Mr.. Muzzy
plays so much bridge that by the
law of averages he is bound to
get a good result now and then.
And he might get credit for a
good bid or good play if he
would only refrain from making
any comment after the hand.

Take today's hand for example.
He and Miss Brash bid like mad
to reach a contract of six hearts.
AS you see, the defenders held
all four kings, a queen and two
Jacks. I'll leave it up to you to
decide whether Mr.. MuZzy de-
serves any credit for the very
fine result on the hand.
Mr.. Champion opened the jack
Of diamonds, dummy ducked
and Mr.. Abel won with the king
and made the rather pointless
return of another diamond.
Mr.. MuZzy won with the queen.
He laid down the jack of hearts
and let it ride when Mr.. Cham
pion did not cover. Next he led
a small heart to dummy's ace,
Mr.. Abel discarding a club.
He now cashed the ace of dia-
monds on which he pitched a
club. This was followed with
small spade to the ace. All of
his remaining hearts were now
cashed. On the lead of the last
trump Mr.. Champion was down
to the king and queen of clubs
and the king of spades.
In dummy were the queen of
spades and the ace and jack
of clubs. If Mr.. Champion dis
Carded his spade, dummy's queen
would be good. If he played a
club. both of dummy's clubs
would win.
His actual discard was the king
of spades and Miss Brash had a
few agonizing moments as Mr..
Muzzy puzzled over what to dis
card from the board. Finally he
played the jack of clubs then
led a club to win the last two
tricks in dummy.
Mr.. Muzzy had executed a
Vienna coup and beautiful
squeeze. But he felt called upon
to make a comment. II knew it
was hopeless partner" he said,
$50 all I could do was to run
my hearts and hope somebody
would make a mistake. Cham
pion's play of the king of spades
proves that even the best make
the wrong discard sometimes"
