Opening lead: Trey Of spades,
In today's deal his opening
was q real killer. He decided on
1t by q process Of elimination.
First, there appeared to be no
point in leading clubs. Setting
up dummy's club suit would
probably be exactly what Miss
Brash would do herself as soon
as she got in.
Apparently q diamond lead
would gain nothing. 1t was
likely that diamonds would be
dummy's shortest suit. AS TO
hearts. Mr.. Meek had the top
three cards in that suit, and II
the defenders had q heart win
ner it could be cashed later.
That is. since Mr.. Meek had q
stopper In both diamonds and
clubs, there was no chance Of
Miss Brash running away with
The hand.
This left only spades for con-
sideration and Mr.. Meek led
the trey Of that suit. Mr.. Abel's
queen forced out the ace. Miss
Brash laid down the ace Of
diamonds and followed with the
queen. Mr.. Meek won the Sec
ond diamond with the king and
persisted in spades. driving out
dummy's king
Now. since clubs were not vet
set up. Miss Brash could not
avoid a spade loser and down
she went.
II Mr.. Meek had made the
normal opening lead Of the
king Of hearts. the advantage
In the timing Of the hand
would have passed over to the
offensive side. Miss Brash
could have ruffed the heart and
knocked out the king Of dia-
monds. A spade return at this
point would have been too late
Miss BraSh could have won q
spade lead in her hand with the
ace. picked up the last trumr
and then led clubs until the

Tempting Buys
Or you can go shopping
There are bargains in British
cloth but the ceramics Of
Rhodes-big plates decorated
with flowers. fauns and ships
are the souvenirs you'll be
tempted to buy. The ones with
the figures outlined In gold are
colorful but friendly shop
keepers will confide that the
real Mccoy from the point Of
view Of the native craftsmen
are the ones without the guilt.
When you can tear yourself
away from the beach and the
ceramic shops and the narrow
old streets where the Knights
had the clubs Of their land of
origin. you drive up into the
hills to look at the panorama
Of the island and TO visit the
ancient cities.

He loved her so dearly that
he gave her the best he had
