EdSS DDl, AZ luco
There is a certain situation
where better players than Mr..
Muzzy figure that their play
makes no difference. l refer to
the case where you are sitting
on the left of dummy and your
partner leads a small trump. Say
you have the doubleton queen
or doubleton jack and dummy
has two or three low cards in the
suit. You can assume that de-
clarer has full control of the suit
and can easily top anything you
play. Do you automatically play
your honor?
If declarer has a long trump
suit including all of the other
honorS tas is usually the caSel i.
it is true that playing your honor
will make no difference as far
as this particular trick is con-
cerned. But what about later
tricks?
Most of the time it is better
to play low in this situation
especially when you are short in
a side suit which declarer will
apparently try to ruff in dummy.
Today'S deal is an Illustration
of this principle. Mr. Abel won
the first trick with the king of
diamonds. Then, III an effort to
prevent spade rufus on the
board, he shifted to the seven
of trumps. The trey was played
from dummy and Mr.. Muzzy I'M
hesitatingly played the queen.
Later he Stubbornly insisted it
made no difference.
Looking into the matter care
fully, however, it becomes clear
that the play of the four of
hearts would have resulted in
the defeat of the contract. Of
course it would have been a los
ing play if Mr.. Abel had LED from
a heart holding of some strength
k j 7. for example. But, on
the bidding. that was too remote
a possibility to consider.
AS it was, Miss Brash's only
play for four-odd was to ruff a
third round of spades in dummy.

NEWS OF MUSIC
. Budapest Group Plays
Mortinu SuperbIy

an assisting pianist to the en-
semble for many years.
The young Beethoven wrote a
half dozen pieces which were So
popular that the composer tran
scribed them for performance by
more than a single group. OF
these. the Transformation of the
wind quintet. Opus Is, into a
piano quartet is perhaps the
most successful. 1t nowhere be-
trays evidence Of its foreign ORR
gin, and is throughout as must
cally interesting as the c major
piano concerto. the E major
piano sonata, or any Of the other
early pieces of the Vienna mas
ter.
The art of writing good music
for piano and a small number Of
strings lies in the ability to make
the piano an opposing force
rather than a gracious compan-
ion of the ensemble. The sound
of piano and the sound of vio-
lin are not often congenial; they
can argue and declaim much
better than they can sympathize.
Not only for the quintessence
Of romanticism which it contains
but also for the magniflcently
voluptuous sound of the five in
struments. Schumann's quintet
has always been one of the most
popular-with audiences, with
professional musicians and with
amateurs. The read
ing Of the Budapest Quartet and
its guest pianist was a stunning
conclusion to a concert, which
was in every way q Joy.

Mr.. Wohlwender's colleagues

The evening opened with a

which won the 1855 Edward Ben

The Edward Benjamin Award
is a somewhat unusual one. Mr..
Benjamin dislikes cacaphony and

The Mailman piece

Yours was entitled to relief. the

The mother stood by, looking on

He twisted his head away and

Since we have become old

AS distasteful as it was to the

ding, privacy-invasive question:
JUST HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Really, now! What difference
does it make other than ungen-

being conscious of his fleeting
youth. And we doctors are more
guilty Of making people age
conscious unnecessarily than
any other group in our society.

1t is almost impossible these

newspaper that does not have a
piece devoted to instructions to
women on how to catch and hold
a man.
Nowhere do I find any litera-
ture for men, designed to teach
them how to escape getting
married. This seems grossly I'M
fair because many men don't
want to get married, but do so,
because they are surrounded by
women who are educated in the

This is q vicious cycle because
