opening lead is made, for the de- ctarer to take time out to size up the two hands before he makes a play from dummy. This is a habit which, if applied diligently, will often pay amplepdividends. Even though the first play may appear to be an automatic one, some preliininary plan should be formulated for the play of the hand before the first trick is played to. Of course, the declarer should keep an open mind to new information obtained as the play unfold: and. when indicated, re- vise his initial view to fit the QIFCIIIIISIEDCGB.
