God hath not promised sun

Joy without sorrow, peace
Without pain.

And woe.

Not bear,

other spade?" said Mr.. Muzzy
angrily.

Champion. land I'm not asking
you to. I'm merely asking you
to play the hand so that If he
does have that holding you will
make your contract"
Mr.. Champion was right. Mr.
Muzzy had given himself only
one chance to win three spade
tricks-the chance that the op-
posing spades were divided 3-3
If, after winning with dummy
JACK OF spades, he had entered
his hand in one Of the other suits
and led another small spade to-
ward the queen. the play of the
ace on his left would have been
automatic. This line of play had
everything to gain and nothing
to lose. With regard to Mr.
MuzzyS play, just the opposite
was true.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

In the course of a thought
provoking letter a st. Louis
reader. Harvey Meyer, makes
these comments on language to-
day: so often today, in the rush
and hustle of our busy lives
people just don't seem to care
for saying in phrases of two or
more tastefully chosen words
what can be spoken in one short,
fiat. monosyllabic utterance. Not
that I advocate redundancy or
|pomposity in oral communica-
ton, but an occasional good
mellifiuous word thrown in now
and then is like a refreshing
breeze in an otherwise dry dis
course, don't you think?"
I'm afraid I don't SO think
Mr.. Meyer, for I fear there Is
no way to sprinkle ordinary con-
versation with "mellif1uous'
words without risking the POM
posity that you so rightly dis
avow. The age of elegance in
written and spoken expression
is long past and I for one do
not regret its passing. 1t has
never seemed to me that writing
was improved by the use of "per-
use" for read" "domicile" for
home" or ''transpire" for hap
pen"-though it could be argued
that each of these elegant al
ternatives was more "tastefully
chosen" than the words they re-
place.
This is not to say that long
words" mellifiuous" words, if
you will--should not be used
appropriate. In certain kinds of
writing the more pretentious
words are essential. But, gen.
orally speaking, clear and lucid
expression is best obtained by
using short words.
Gelett Burgess who delighted
an earlier generation with the
rhyme about the purple COW,
once wrote: "If we use long
words too much. we are apt to
talk in ruts and use the same
old. worn ways of speech. This
tends to make what we say dull.
with no force or sting. But If
We use short words. we have to
say real things, things we know;
and say them in a fresh way.
We find it hard to hint or dodge
or hide or half say things"
If your aim is to communicate
an idea in words to the reader
or listener, you had best avoid
howery language and verbal or
namentation. The most effective
communication is the most di-
rect and graphic-and you're not
likely to find better example
than the paragraph of Burgess
quoted above.

the sound no-trump slam con-
tract was makable by means Of
a type of play which comes up
quite frequently. Mr.. Meek led
the jack of diamonds and his
choice of a suit which Mr.. Muzzy
had bid made it very improbable
that the diamonds would break
3-3. Mr.. Muzzy saw that he had
nine top winners outside of the
spade suit. Therefore if he
could manage to win three spade
tricks he would make his slam.
He started of right by winning
the first trick in his own hand
and leading a small spade. Mr..
Meek ducked and dummy's jack
won. Surely if Mrs. Keen had
held the ace of spades she would
have won this trick. The reason
is that it would have been her
best play and she is a good
player.
But Mr.. Muzzy now led back
small spade and put up his king,
losing to the ace. After this
thoughtless play he either had
to lose a diamond to Mr.. Meek
or spade to Mrs. Keen.
