BRIDGE (Continued from page 18) but occasionally a play occurs that is difficult to explain. Two of our leading experts were playing as partners and apparently having difficulty in agreeing upon the best declaration for the combined hands. The dealer bid and rebid the Heart suit, but his partner finally secured the contract at four Spades which he succeeded in making by very good play. During the play, dummy noticed that his partner held four Hearts headed by the Queen and was just a bit peeved at the insistent rescuing. “What's the big idea in taking me out when you have such good support for my suit?” he asked with some heat. “Well, you see, partner,” came the conciliatory response, “I happened to notice the King of your suit in the hand of your left-hand opponent— wholly inadvertently of course—and I thought it would be better for me to play the deal’ And the reply was delicious. “What do you think is the matter with my eyesight? Do you think I'm blind?” Something to Grind A TEXINGTON traveling man vouches for this one: A native of the Eastern Kentucky “hills,” made rich overnight by royalties from an oil well leased on his property, offered the members of his family anything they expressed a desire to have. The daughter asked for a new dress. The son said he'd like to own a Blue Grass farm. The wife “lowed” if he could “stand that much,” that she’d take a new axe, as the “old one was gittin’ powerful dull.” —Louisville Leader.
