what commonplace to you may be, Another may be shocked to see. -old Mother Nature.

Old Mr. Toad was in the smiling Pool. Old Mr. Tond is a very good singer. In fact. he has one of the sweetest voices of tho sin-imz, but to wants to be in the water when no sings. Now, although Old Mr. road was born in the water, and as 1 baby lived in the water altogeth- er it is notlonger his home. He left t'when he was such a little Toad that he could have sat on it ten gent piece and have plenty of room to spare. He hadn't gone back to the Smiling Pool until he was ful- ly grown. Ever since then he had gone back each spring to sing. He

for Mrs Toad that Old Mr, Toad sings. When they leave the Smil- ing Pool they are likely to go sep- arate wiiys and it might be an- other year before tliey see each other again. But. that sweet song of

lhomely Old Mr. Toad never fails

to bring Mrs. Tend to meet him at the Smiling Pool.

Old Mr. Todd stays in the Smil- ing Pool several weeks It is a sort of old homecoming, nnd Old Mr. Toad does little but sing. His cous- in Grandfather Frog, the Bullfrog, he of the deep voice. is rather scornful of his smaller cousin. Gr:in(ii';itliei' Frog lives in the Smil- ing Pool the tear tiirough. He al- uiiys ins:sts fllzit Old Mr. Todd doesn't show good sense in leaving the Sir-tiling Fool. On his part, Old Mr. oad is a little scornful of Grandfather Frog brrriiise all he ,ki1ou's of the Grout World is what he sees and hears in the Smiling Pool l

Old Mr. Toad was doing very lit- tle singing now He was getting ready to go trick home to Former Brown's garden. Alreadv Old Mrs. '1'o.id had left, so tlirrc was no ioni- or any use in blowing out the mus- lr. bag in his throat to sing for her. Then. too, Old Mr. Tond was be- ginning in got an I'lli'i"1:iO. He had eaten "' or lli'Vili'1i': sinro he

Grandfather Fro; made ; fun. tic leap Ind landed In the water with a splash. green lily-pad. Grandfather hog made a frantic leap and landed in the water with a. splash.

"Missed him," crooked Grand- father Fmg in disgust as he climb. ed back on his big green lily-pad.

Old Mr. Toad was shocked. "Were you really trying to catch that bird?" he asked.

"What do you think I jumped for?" crooked Grandfather Frog in his deepest voice. He looked both distrusted and disappointed.

"But what would you have done vilih it if you had caught it?" his homely cousin wanted to know.

"I would have had a real dinner. and then I would have taken a good nap after that," replied Grandfather Frog.

"Do you mean you would have rniien that bird if you had caught it?" cried Old Mrp Toad, looking more shocked than ever. .

"of course I would have eaten it. Birds are very good eating. The only trouble with them is that

they are very hard to catch. it you have never eaten one. you should try one.” replied Grand- father Frog.

Old Mr. Toad was more shocked than ever now. The very idea was shocking. He said as much. ”I knew i'0ll (Ii? fish. little fish and l've hreii told that you sometimes Pnt small Frogs. hilt I never have be- lieved that."

Just then, A Green Frog made the mistake of starting to swim inst the big green liiy-pad on whicli Grandfather Frog was sit- ting. He never did get past. In-

It is only logical that when A player has made a fancy or possi- bly misleading bid, he should pro- ceed with some caution thereafter. This, however. does not mean that the fancy bidder xmust run for cover! Values are values; if the bid he made did not express any- thing like his full power, he say so at his next turn.

All of which is another way of saying that South was too 'easily ohostened in this case:

West opened his foiirth-higliesi. spade - and South took 13 tricks. A club load, won by dummy”: queen, would have produced the same result, and indeed declarer could have taken the same num- ber of tricks against any lead if he elected to play for a squeeze against West. (cashing the club ace early), instead of trying for the the spade finesse.

Regardless of the illne of play chosen. however, at least a small- slam contract at liearis, diamonds or notrump certainly should have been reached.

In the postmortem South ex- plained that he had passed over four hearts because he was na- turally worried (Jl'6l' the fact that he had responded ill a three-caro
