A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Houston: What is the origin
of that devilish term, ito keep
ones nose to the grindstone"?
Lu and have been married only
a few months; I'm in school Con
a scholarship. working part
time, and she works all the
time. Is there a chance that our
noses may become so sharpened
one day that we can live?-
Brack and Lu.
Answer: My dear children, I'm
quite sure that you both are liv-
ing right now. The very idea
that you're interested in the
origin of common expression
of which you must be pretty
tired at times, proves that you
not only have the zest to live,
but the curiosity which makes
it pleasure. Don't worry about
your noses becoming sharpened.
Nose to the grindstone" is an
allusion to the toilsome hours a
farmer must spend in the spring
to sharpen the various cutting
instruments Of the farm-for he
has his nose to the grindstone.
The. word grind meaning "a
long. monotonous task" has the
same origin.
Burns versed it this way:
Be TO the poor like onie whunstane.
And haud their noses to the Rrunstane,
-Dedictaion 10 Gavin Hamilton Z
Albany: We want to know
how the expression widows
weeds" started.-R. T. o.
Answer: First, a widows
weeds" refers, not to rank vege-
tation, but TO her clothing, for
the original Anglo-Saxon waede
meant ito weave; woven gar
ments." But weed, wild plant,
came from the Anglo-Saxon
word weod. meaning plant"

diamond and Mr.. Masters ruffed.
Mr.. Masters then cashed the ace
of spades and dummy's ace and
king of hearts. He led a third
heart and ruffed it in his hand.
He returned to dummy via the
queen of trumps and parked two
clubs on dummy'S good hearts.
Thus he held his losses to two
diamonds and a club.

Playing tricks can be ac-
curately measured by point count
If proper promotion points" are
allowed for the holding of high
cards in long suits. These points
stem from the fact that the
massing Of high cards in a long
suit will promote" the small
cards Or, in other words, in
crease the chances of the small
cards to take tricks.
BY these methods Mr.. Masters
figured the South hand at five
playing tricks. This is mini
mum overcall when vulnerable
and should be made only with a
strong trump suit.
Using the same method, Mrs.
Keen counted her hand as worth
five playing tricks in support
of spades. She bid only three
spades to allow a little leeway
for the possibility that Mr..
Masters had shaded his overcall
a bit. However, Mr.. Masters
bid was not shaded and he went
on to game.
Mr.. Dale opened the nine of
his partners bid suit, diamonds
Dummys queen was put up and
Mr.. Abel won with the king and
returned a trump, which was
won in dummy with the ten.
Mr.. Masters had already lost
a diamond and was faced with
the possibility of losing two
clubs and a heart. He might
save the day if he could ar
range to keep Mr.. Dale out of
the lead so that a club could
not be pumped through dummy's
king. This he was able to ac-
complish by means of one of the
most valuable plays known to
the astute declarer-the loser
on-loser play.
A trick three he led the eight
of diamonds from the board
Mr.. Abel had to cover and, in
stead Of ruffing. Mr.. Masters
simply discarded a heart, which
was a loser anyway.
Mr.. Abel could make no
damaging return. He had to stay
away from clubs or give up all
hope of winning two tricks in
that suit. He led another high
