the challenge Of lighting the ex- terior- of your, home this year and feel bit unsure about where to1.s starts here are some simple guides to help you plan and ana lyze your display
 T Locking over your house and grounds, you will find four gen. eral areas to be decorated: The tree, windows, doors and general exterior (roof, lawn, shrubs). Let's take them one at time.
 THE TREE
 To outline tree completely, use, one light per square foot. You can find out exactly how many lights your tree requires by multiplying it's height by it's width (measure at bottom of tree) by .11a. For example. if your tree is 6 feet by 4 feet, it needs (6x4x11a) 36 lights to out line it properly.
 !. TO achieve solid mass light ing, double that number. But ba sure you don't exceed t. More than 72 lights on a SKA tree would make it gaudy, actually an eyesorc-
 Not all Christmas trees are perfectly symmetrical cones. Some are short and squat; others are downright skinny. But you can disguise their shortcomings with little lighting know-how.
 If your tree is short and stecky, hang your strings of lights from the top in straight vertical lines. This makes the tree look taller. Good for tall trees that aren't symmetrical, too.
 If your tree is thin, spiral two sets of strins, one running from left to right, the other from right to left. The result is a cross-hatch that gives tree body.
 If your tree is tall and sym metrical, emphasize its line by hanging lights horizontally in series of even loops or drapes.
 When you decorate the tree, work from the top down, never from the bottom up. .a
 WINDOWS
 When you decorate a window, bear in mind its architectural design; the overall lighting treat ment you plan to give the rest of ]. your homes exterior; and the dec Orations visible through the win dow. s \. ,t~
 A large picture window at the front of the house can be natural frame for your indoor Christmas tree, The. obvious and best- lighting decoration is simply; to' outline. the window with strings of light. .
 No interior tree visible through, the window? Drape strings from a lighted star -at the top centre, down to the lower corners. Such. a design makes .a framing. pat. tern for lighted candles or wreathss inside. the window. A*l
 If your window is regulation size, two strings of lights with al star at their apex form pleasing frame for a lighted wigath, tying the entire window decoration into one unit. Extend the lights to outer edges of the shutters for a wider lighting pattern
 If your home has two storeys, you can add interest and sparkle by filling second storey window boxes with lighted flowers" and boughs of greens. To make the flowers, fashion petal-like reflec- tors and place them behind color ed bulbs to give more realistic effect.
 You can use either 25-Watt or

Opening lead: King Of hearts.
Mr.. Champion won the first
trick with the king of hearts. Mr.,
Muzzy played the deuce on the
trick. clearly requesting a shift.
What could he want led? Not al
club, apparently. since there were
three club honors in dummy and
Mr.. Champion himself had the
jack. If Mr.. Muzzy had the king
he would almost certainly win a.
trick with it later.
So Mr.. Champion made good
shift to. the queen of diamonds
and Mr.. Dale now had tough
decision to make. He had to-
lose a diamond. he had already
lost q heart, and on the bidding
he expected to lose a trick to the
king of spades. Obviously, he
could not afford to let MIR.
Champion ruff diamond lead
with q small trump.
What was that queen Of dia-
monds? With the jack showing
In dummy, it was not the top OF
an honor sequence. Surely it was
either a singleton or the top OF
q doubleton.
II it happened to be part of a
doubleton, Mr.. Dale's best play
would be to duck in dummy and
win the second round Of dia-
monds, so that Mr.. Champion
would have no more of the suit
to lead when he got in with his
supposed king of spades.
If 1t were q singleton. how
ever. the right play to cut the
communication between the de-
tenders hands was to win with
the ace at once.
Which play would you make?
Mr.. Dale decided his best chance
was to duck the first diamond
lead. He felt it was about fifty
fifty as to whether the QUEEN
was a singleton or part of a
doubleton. But here was the
clincher: His right-hand OPP
ponent was Mr.. Muzzy. Even If
the lead were a singleton the
odds were overwhelming that it
would never occur to Mr.. Muzzy
to overtake with the king and re-
turn a diamond for his partner
to ruff.
AS the play actually went. the
queen held the second trick. Mr..
Dale won the diamond continual
ton with dummy's ace. lost a
spade finesse to the king, but was
then in a position to handle any
return. pick up trumps and dis
card two diamonds from the
board on his long clubs.
