was quite surprised to notice the
wrapping labeled Training

manufacturer goofed or am
and my dictionary behind the
times?-A st. Louis Reader.
Answer: I am glad you sent
the wrapping in question be-
cause, without the evidence in
hand. I should find 1t hard to
believe that a reputable manu.
facturer could make such a
blunder. The pant" under dis
cussion is the product of one
OF the country's greatest retail
clothing store chains. Nonethe-
less the chain "goofed," as my
correspondent puts it. for the

Is a gasping breath.
Pants with an IS" Is a plural
noun meaning an inner or outer
garment extending down from
the waist and covering part OF
all Of the legs. 1t originally was
a contraction Of the word PAN
falcons" Though pants" can
apply to either a single garment
or to several, it always takes q
plural verb.
Question: To settle an argu-
ment. please tell us whether IL
is correct to say different than
or different from. IN. L. K,
Oakland. Calf.
Answer: There has long been
a substantial body of opinion
holding that different from" is
the only correct formulation for
Americans. Unfortunately this
rule-if it is q RULES honored
in the breach more than in the
observance. While different
from" is still more widely used
in formal writing. different
than" has become the more
common colloquial idiom. In
toher words. most educated
Americans might say different
than" although they would
write different from" A COM
mon British form Is different
to" but 1t sounds affected to
American ears.
TIE answer to the argument,
then. Is that both forms are cor
rect. with different from" being
somewhat more formal.

the fault Of someone else. II
don't think I like your jump to
three spades on an aceless hand,
Champion" he said cautiously.
But he had already said too
much.
Since you brought it up" re-
piled Mr.. Champion, Il may say
that made no mistake on the
hand-while you made three.
First. you shouldn't have over
called with a spade. You had
an acceptable takeout double,
and If you had taken that action
there would have been a good
chance of reaching the fool
proof contract of three no-trump.
Your second mistake was that
you misplaced the trump suit.
You should have made four
spades. On the bidding it was
practically certain that Abel had
the three outstanding aces and
that Mrs. Keen had only a dou-
bleton heart. So you couldn' I
afford to lead your king OF
spades.
Just go to dummy with the
jack of clubs at trick three and
lead back a small spade. If Abel
goes up with the ace and leads
"a heart, you can now afford to
trump high in your hand. If he
doesn't play the ace you win with
the queen and lead another
trump. which takes the last
trump out of Mrs. Keen's hand.
About half way through the
next deal Mr.. Abel thought of
something. You said he made
three mistakes in that last hand,
Champion. What was the third
one?
He criticized by bidding. ("
