It took Peter Rabbit a long time to learn that it is wise to hold 3ne's tongue no matter how aure hot one is right. You see, you .-my be right or you may not be -ight at all. even though you think you are. Be as positive as you please, but keep it to yourself. rhen yon never have to admit vou are wrong.

Quite by chance Peter had dis- covered a small hole in the ground. He hadn't been looking for any- thing of the kind. In fact, he hadn't been looking for anything at all.

'He had been resting. Anyway he would have said he was rest- ing. Resting is one oi! his habits. He is always resting when he has nothing to do.

been?" said Peter, talking to inni- self. Of course, nobody answered

Suddenly, out of that hole came Madam Digger. she is one of the big members of the Wasp family. .Pe'er hastily jumped back. He has great respect for all members of the Wasp family. but especi- ally tor Madam Digger.

You see she carries with her one of the sharpest and most pain- ful little lances of any c' the iWasp family. And Madam Digger does not hesitate to use it. Folks a great deal bigger than Peter Rabbit, run when Madam Dig- ger happens to come about.

She paid no attention to Peter, and Peter -was most polite. "Did you dig the hole?" asked Peter,

"What if I did?" said Madam Digger." It is no business of yours, Peter Rabbit.” She was feeling a iltttle out of sorts.

Peter watched her out of sight 'ind woiiclcrcd where she was go- ling. Ho wondered still more why iMrs. Digger had dug that hole, land, what she was using it for. He was still wondering, when back isiic ('.l!llE, and she was carrying a

A CASE OF OVER-CONFIDENCE

The declarerls first thought when he saw the dummy in- the -following deal was that he and partner had missed at least a small slam. Perhaps it was his annoyance that made him a little careless about the more game con- trac”

North might have shown more enterprise when South answered his double with a leap all the way to game. If the diamond king had been on-side tas it really figured to be because of West's bid! a small-slam contract would have been virtually assured. However, it should have been lucky for. North that he was conservative.

West opened the heart king. The ace won and the declarer drew two rounds of trumps. obviously con- fident that the diamond finesse was ”on." But when he took that finesse. he had quite a shock - East. in with the diamond king, shifted to the club jack, and the defenders grabbed three club tricks in a hurry. Down one!

At duplicate bridge this hand would present a tantalizing pro- blem, because with the diamond finesse (and break) would deliver 1:! tricks. At the actual rubber bridge, however, there was no pro- blem; the safety of the contract was the paramount issue, and that safety was easily attainable. South should have let West hold the opening lead! Then, it would be easy to establish duminy's dia- mond suit without running the grave risk of letting East in foi the club return which ,South had to fear. In short, South would pitch a diamond on the ace of hearts (after ducking in dummy on the first lrickl; then he would draw the necessary two rounds of trumps, cash the diamond ace and lead the diamond queen through East, ruffing if East produced the king. but discarding clubs it East did not cover. If the diamond king were in Wests hand. this line of play would still be safe - South would lose only three tricks: the first trick, the diamond trick, and
