FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

SIGNATURE: AS a strug-
Cling young artist, Spanish
painter Pablo PicasSo had to
share a studio with a friend
to make ends meet. The lat
ter worked during the day
and slept in the bed at night,
while Picasso worked all night
and occupied the bed during
the day.
This inconvenient arrange
ment left a mark on the
artists work. PicaSso, who
was bursting with ideas,
produced a prodigious num-
Der Of paintings. When the
friend awoke in the morning,
he would find the floor COW
cred with pictures. AS he
made his way to the door, he
could not avoid stepping on
them.
Years later, when Picasso
became famous and dealers
were snatching up his early
works, these footprints had
to be removed from dozens
Of his canvases.

Opponents Muy Help

sometimes your contract de-
pends on leading a suit from
the dummy rather than from
your own hand. That's fine il
you can win a trick in the

ever, you must get help from an

Opening lead: Ace of spades.
West opened the ace of
spades and continued with a
low spade. South won with the
ten of spades and looked
around for a way to make his
contract. He would have en-
joyed permission to lead a
diamond from dummy, for this
would give him the chance to
flneSse the queen of diamonds.
South could reach dummy by
leading trump to the eight,
but this would remove the
trump needed to ruff South's
last diamond.
In a situation of this kind,
some years ago, a famous ex-
pert got up from the table and
strolled over to the water
cooler. When he got back to
the table he led a card from
the dummy, and the opponents
played to the trick without
realizing that he had led from
the wrong hand. South de-
cided not to try this stunt be-
cause it is considered rather
sharp practice, and besides the
opponents looked much too
alert.
Strange End Play
Instead South executed A 4.

the top clubs and then led the
queen Of hearts. East had to
win with the king of hearts and
was then end-played in three
suits. If he continued hearts
dummy's jack would win a
trick. If East shifted to dia-
monds South could take the
finesse, cash the ace of dia-
monds, and ruff the low dia-
mond. And if East led a club
South could ruff with a high
trump, enter dummy with a
trump. and cash two good
clubs.
