1'0 onitloiae your neighbors you WI. find an easy thing to do. -Old Mother Nature. lnntody does. It is the most IIMIIII-I thing in the world. No two lots do everything exactly Alli, and each thinks his or her on my best. Mothers have ideas II that: own in the matter of lrlnglng up children. Also, mothers have, peculiar eyesight. They novr see the children of others just as they see their own children. Porhszps ft is just as well that this is so. It would be a dull world, in- deed, if everybody saw alike. Mrs, Grouse was sitting on ten egg: in a heat at the foot of a tree in I lonesome part of the areen Forest. It was a pine tree. and its spreading branches hid nr from any who might chance as pun tlu't.way. High up in that some tree was another nest, Mrs. Zirouse knew it was there, but who iamily that lived there did not mow that Mrs Grouse was down aelow. That nest belonged to Mrs; and Mr. Redtail, who are among

the biggest of the Hawk family. They had begun nesting first. In fact, Mrs. Redtail was sitting on three eggs when Mrs. Grouse had chosen that place for her nest. so of course the three eggs of Mr, and Mrs. Redtail hatched first. Mrs. Grouse, keeping ten eggs warm down below, knew all about what was going on up above. she couldn't help knowing. All she had to do was to listen.

The family up above was more or less of a noisy family. Babies cried when they were hungry and they were hungry most of the time. Anyway, it seemed so to Mrs .Grouse. There was a great deal of coming and going from the time Mr. Sun began his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky. until he went to bed behind the Purple Hills. When father wasn't ofzf hunting, mother was. some of the time both were gone at the same time, The babies were quiet then. But the moment father or mother returned, the three babies would begin to cry and beg to be fed.

She doesn't make half as much fuss over It big family as some mothers do over a family of two or three.

so the days slipped away. and Mrs, Grouse became more critical of the family up She thought it was noth- ing short of a scandal that those babies should stay in the nest until they were nearly as big as their parents. Of course. the latter had to feed them and wait on them. What Mrs. Grouse didn't under- stand was the difference between the Hawk babies.

Tighter defense would have serv- ed East-west well in the follow- ing deal.

In view of the score East-West might have pushed the enemy is little higher, but it is only fair to concede that on an individual basis. such pushing seemed ex- tremely dangerous. '

Defending against two spades, West opened the nine of clubs. East overtook with the ten, and south won.

Declarer now took stock, and he was not pleased with the situation. Very probably, he would have to lose two trump tricks, and surely he would lose two hearts and one club. so the fate of the contract would probably depend on the dia- mond position. with East making the only bid for his side, South was not hopeful about finening successfully for the diamond queen. and so he aimed his play in another direction.

At the second trick South took the risk of laying down his other club honor - if West had a single- ton, South could probably not pro- tect himseif against a ruff in any case. When no ruff ensued, South exited with his low club.

West gave a high heart signal on the third club, and East, after taking the trick, cashed the ace and queen of hearts before leading his last club. South ruffed with the spade six and West over-ruffed with the eight. West then laid down the heart king. South ruffed low, led a spade to the ace and returned the spade five - and East was ini He was also hooked, hav- ing to return a diamond to dum- my's itenaoe.

East should have seen clearly that the spade king was no asset at the eighth trick. and so he should have sacrificed that card on du.mmy's ace. If West did not have the spade queen, the defenders case was hopeless.
