A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Long Beach: Good for you
about ending sentences with
propositions. AS for myself I
reserve the right to wind any
sentence with any word I can
think UP. Up with which I shall
not give.-W. w. c.
A.-Do it then.
Los Angeles: Will you please
tell me whether the cliche "It
goes without saying" has any
authoritative standing in COR
rect English usage? Why not
substitute the word obviously?
B. H.
A.-You've answered your own
question, sir. 1t goes without
saying. why say it? Pronounce
cliche: klee-SHAY.
Pittsburgh: How do you pro-
|nounce operative and operator?
Are they Operator" and
"OP-er-ativ"? Or is the accent
on the first and third syllables?
B. A. j.
A.-Say: OP-er-AY-tiv. An
important characteristic OF
American speech is the utter
ance of all syllables in most
words of four or more syllables.
Britons smother the "a" before
-tive, or drop the syllable en-
tirely; and some Americans af-
feet the British telescoping. But
consider speculative, initiative,

But she plays to win. When
she can do it legally, she'll use
every trick out of her long ex-
perience to beat your brains
out. She has the courage of a
lioness. If you relax when play
ing against her. you risk being
torn to shreds.
Her witness showed itself both
in the bidding and the play Of
today's hand. Her choice of one
no-trump for her opening bid
was hardly out of the textbook.
She had a good hand. but no
stopper at all in the spade suit
However. she thought this dis
advantage was more than on
set by the fact that the no.
trump call hid her true distribu-
ton from the enemy.
This thinking paid of at once
when Mrs. Keen chose the jack
of diamonds for her opening lead
rather than a spade. And, of
course. the diamond was the safe
and normal opening. It could
not lose a trick and a spade lead
might go right into the AQJ.
But even with the diamond
lead Mrs. Fusty had a long way
to go. Assuming that the dia-
monds would not break, she had
only eight tricks off the top. She
saw this at glance and, with
out a moments hesitation. fol-
lowed suit with the six spot.
Now the defenders were in a
position to defeat her by running
four spade tricks. But they didn't
know it. Mrs. Keen examined the
first trick and noticed that the
five of diamonds was missing.
Mr.. Abel had played the eight,
which looked like the beginning
of a come-on signal. ...
After all. Mrs. Fusty had never
bid diamonds and Mrs. Keen
can't be blamed too much for
believing she had struck gold
with her opening lead.
She led another diamond and
Mrs. Fusty promptly ran off four
diamonds. two clubs and three
hearts for game. ...-
