The rise and fall of the value of a hand. as the bidding P79879555- ia a phenomenon that is worthy of the closest attention. in distri- butional hands especially. the Weir uation of a band may fluctualt with startling abruptness as new information is obtained from P371" ner's responses. ,

South's hand, when it is first examined. is decidedly better than a minimum opening. The 15 high card points are augmented by the value of the distribution The point counter. have a field day building up the value of the

,hand distn'butionally to 18 or 19 points.

North's spade response has I severe effect on the original evala nation. The spade void hanges from an asset to a liability. The hand depreciate: to just its high card value.

We bid two clubs, hoping for further enlightenment from part- ner. The response, in this case. is most gratifying. Partner comes

, to life with not only a diamond fit, but a jump bid.

The complexion of the hand

i changes radically. The original evaluation is not only restored. but inflated. The grave doubt whether there was a game. when partner responded one spade, has not only been resolved. but a slam must be considered.

North is commanding us to go to a game, and he does so before learning we have considerably more than a minimum hand. If he is willing to drive us to an elev- en trick contract, surely we are en- titled. to try for twelve. Hence. we bid six.

The play is relatively easy. One pitfall has to be avoided. Twelve tricks can be made cross ruffing. The important item is to cash the ace and king of hearts early. Fail- ure to do so will prove expensive if West is given an opportunity to dispose of his jack of hearts as the clubs are ruffed in dummy.

After taking the A-K of hearts, South plays the ace of clubs. He then ruffa clubs and spades in al-

ternating order until he has rack- ed up twelve tricks.

IIEDTIME STORIES

The Great Dis

Conslde well before you act. Let not desire govern fact. -Old Mother Nature. Polly Chuck lookedrout across the Green Meadows. They were still covered with water in many places. A great rain had caused a great flood and Johnny and Polly had been driven from their home and had found refuge in a tree out on the water-covered Green Meadow. Now the water had gone down and they were anxious to start for home. There was still a little water around the foot of the tree. Johnny climbed down into it. It wasnit deep enough for him to have to swim. He could wade. "Come on" he squealed. Polly Chuck lost no time in gel- ting down that tree. They felt bet- ter the minute they were on the ground. Up in that tree they hadn't felt safe. They had been afraid that one of the big members of the Hawk family, or Hooty the Owl, would find them up there. Now Johnny led the way and Pol- ly kept close to his heels. Once they came to a big puddle of water. it really was more than a puddle. It really was a small pond. Johnny hestitated. Should he lead the way around it, or should he try to wade across? But it was only a moment he hesitated. Then he waded into the water. In a moment he was swimming. Polly was right at his tail. It didn't take too long to get to where they could wade again. A moment lat- er, they didn't have to do even that.

"I can see our doorstep" cried .Johnny at last. He tried to hurry 3 faster.

"It doesn't look as big as it used to." said Polly.

It wasn't as big as it used to be. The water had washed away a lot of it. Presently they reached it. Both sat up on it for a look around before going down into the house. Then Polly turned and en- tered the doorway. My, how wet it was just inside. However. she- had known it to be almost as wet? during heavy rains, so she thought nothing of it. She hurried on down. The long tunnel, or hall. leading to the bedroom continued to be just as wet as at the entrance. if

dry bedroom. she found a little water still standing on the floor. The once comfortable bed of dry grass and leaves was now a soggy mess. so soaked with water that it couldn't possibly be used. Johnny Chuck had not followed Polly down at once. when he did tart down he met Polly coming up. There wasn't room to pass. He backed out again. When he saw Polly's face he knew that some- thing was wrong; something was very. vcry wrong.

"What is the matter. asked Johnny. Polly Chuck looked more wor- ried than ever. She looked wor- ried and frightened .as well. "We can't stay here," said she. Johnny Chuck looked surprisedp "Why can't we stay here?" he demanded.

"it is too wet," said Polly. "Pooh! What does a little wet- ness amount to? Who cares for that"? retorted ' '9-in Pushng past her, he went down mm the house. He didn't stay long.

"You are right. my dear. it is too wet. We can't possibly live here until it drlesuout," said h: when he came out.
