WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

In the course of conducting a
column, writer receives many
letters from readers, about 80
per cent of which begin, How
could you be so stupid. 2"
The other 10 per cent-those
which make constructive com
ments or ask interesting ques-
tions-are a Joy and delight.
But even among this group there
is an occasional one that stands
out-and it's such a letter that
I should like TO comment on
today.
1t is datelined Maplewood
School. Sylvania. Ohio. and
reads:
Dear Mr.. Morris: Last week
we studied the word wholly.
1t made us think of holy
meaning sacred. We would like
to know if there is a word mean
ing the holes in socks. and If so,
how is it spelled? Yours truly,
Grade 3. Room 81"
Yes, Grade 3. there is a word
meaning the holes in socks. It
is spelled "holey."
May l commend you on your
inqulsitiveness-and may ! add
one more word to your store?
1t is the word "homophone"-
pronounced HOM-uh-fone. It
means a word which sounds Just
like another word-but means
something quite different. The
three words wholly" holy" and
"holey." are homophones. Though
they sound alike, they have diff
terent meanings.
The word pagan" comes tc
us from the Latin "paganus.
meaning villager or rustic. Fol
many centuries it was thought
that pagan got its meaning OF
heather" or ''non-Christian'
from the fact that early Chris.
tlans were city dwellers ano
anyone not Of the city was pa
ganus." However, recent research
shows that "paganus" was used
by Roman soldiers as a slang
term for civilian" Since the
lsarly Christians considered them
selves soldiers of Christ" it was
logical that they should adopt
the soldiers derogatory label
"paganus" to describe everyone
who was not member OF Christ's
army.

the defender who always leads

suit and always leads the king
from ace-king and the highest
card from worthless three-card

contracts made against him
which he could have defeated.
Deception is a part of every
successful defenders game. But
he is careful to use it only when
the chance of deceiving his part
ner is practically nil.
In today's hand Mr.. Dale felt
that the lead Of any plain suit
was likely to present declarer
with a trick. He therefore de-
cided to open a trump. The
usual lead from his trump hold
ing would be the ten. However,
for whatever value it might be
in giving Mr.. Abel a wrong idea
about the distribution, he
selected the pine spot.
The result was devastating. If
Mr.. Abel had had the oppor-
tunity of making the first trump
lead himself. he could hardly
have gone wrong. 1t is probable
that his first trump lead would
have been the trey from the
board. Mr.. Meek's play of the
king would have clarified the
situation Immediately and no
trump trick would have been lost.

did not have the ten-else he
would have led it. Almost GER
tainly he didn't have the king

Mr.. Abel placed the king and
10 on his right. Now he thought,
suppose Mr.. Meek also had the
deuce. In that case, if a small
heart were played from the
board, Mr.. Meek would play the
deuce and the nine would force
the queen. Mr.. Meek would then
have left the king-ten over dunn
my's jack-for a sure heart win
ner.
To guard against that contin-
agency. Mr.. Abel made the
safety" play of the jack of
hearts from dummy. This would
force the play of the king on his
right and he would win with the
ace. Later he could lead a
trump from the board and fl
nesse against Mr.. Meek's sup
posed ten spot. But. as you see,
the king didn't need to be forced.
With the ace. king and jack
going on the first trick. Mr..
Dale's guarded 10 represented
the eventual setting trick.
