every suit, went along with the
no-trump idea.
The king of clubs was led and
permitted to win. On came the
jack of clubs and Mr.. Champion
took it with the ace. He led
the deuce of hearts and finessed
the queen. Now If Mr.. Dale had
played the seven, his normal
card here, Mr.. Champion would
have had no play to bring in the
heart suit but the right play. He
would have had to lay down the
ace and hope the king dropped.
But Mr.. Dale dropped the nine
spot. Unfortunately for Mr..
Champion this gave him an al
tentative line of play. If Mr..
Dale had started with l0-nine
doubleton (as seemed likely, the
only way to bring in the entire
suit was to lead the jack from
the closed hand. That would
trap both the king and 10 and
dummy's eight spot would win
the third round of the suit.
Mr.. Champion fell for it. He
led a spade to his king and Mr..
Abel won and cashed two more
clubs. He then led a spade and
Mr.. Champion won and led the
jack of hearts. 1t was covered
with the king and ace and Mr..
Champions jaw dropped when
Mr.. Dale played the seven. The
10 stopped the suit-and doomed
the contract.

WORDS, WIT

young member of your house.
hold? Have purses been deftly
whisked away just as you bent
over to pick them up? Well.
today's the day for such childish
pranks. Today is April Fools
Day, when the gullible and I'M
wary are fair game for the in
ventive and enterprising.
There seems to be many
theories about the origin Of All
Fools Day. as the British call 1t.
One account traces it back to
Roman mythology. It seems
that Prosperpina was playing
happily in the Elysian fields and
had just plucked a lapful of DAFT
fodils when she was seized by
Pluto, King of Hades, and carried
of to rule as his Jueen. Her
mother heard the echo Of her
screams and went in search of
Proserpina but, Of course, it was
a fruitless errand. Thus. say
some. began the custom Of send
ing gullible people on fools err
rands.
Perhaps the soundest theory
traces it back to the time when
the Gregorian calendar tthe one
we now use) replaced the Julian
During the Middle
Ages most Christian countries
celebrated the start Of the new
year with a festival beginning
March Is and ending April l..
additionally. the last day of
this period was devoted to the
bearing Of gifts to ones friends
and neighbors. When the
Gregorian calendar was finally
adopted by England in 1852, New
Years Day was moved back, of
course. to January /. But some
jokers continued to.
make calls and give mock gifts
on April ! and thus. so the story
goes. April Fools Day was born.
The Scots have an amusing
phrase to describe the chap sent
to fetch a left-handed monkey
wrench or a can of cold steam.
He's said to be hunting the

cuckoo bird. In France, the VIC
tim of such pranks is called
