Answer. Your double means that you can defeat the bid if your partner has a no trumper; that you either have a big no trump yourself or that you have four or more cards in the suit bid and prefer to defeat the bid rather than to go on with your part- ner's no trump. Your partner should not.go on with his no trump under such Hearts--A, 10, 2 Clubs--none Diamonds--35, 3 Hearts--9 3 Y Clubs--17, 5 tA Diamonds--1J, 8, 7 : z Spades--A, Q en Hearts--S8, 4 Clubs--Q, 8, 6, 2 Diamonds--K, 2 Spades--none lead. How can Y Z win five of the eight tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the four of hearts and Y wing the trick with the ace. Y should then lead the deuce of spades, which Z should trump with the deuce of clubs. Z should then lead the king of diamonds and follow with the deuce of «diamonds, which trick A must win. Whatever A now leads, Y Z must win two trump tricks. If A leads a diamond or a spade, Z trumps and leads the eight of hearts. His queen of clubs must now make. If A should lead a trump, Z must still win two trump tricks. Played in this way, Y Z must win five of the eight tricks against any defense. The loafers, scated on the long benches before a New Hampshire country store, stopped their whittling and desultory gossip and indolently sat up.. Even the farmers' horses, nuzzling their soft noses in the three gnawed and weather-beaten feed troughs, raised their heads. An im- portant event was about to happer, for the stage- coach which carried the mail and an occasional passenger to the mountain village was due on one of its tri-weekly trips. The rattle of the huge wagon, 'ard the clipclop of the horses' feet sounded down the narrow, dusty road. With a flourish of whip and a swadying of reins that almost swung the leaders to theix haunches, the driver brought the stage to a stand- still, He flung off the leather bag, and the storekeeper, who combined the duties of postmaster with those of vil- lage trader, carried it inside the dim- ly lighted store. There was an excited buzz of expectancy as the few letters from 'the outside world were sorted. The storekeeper, however, was not allowed to read his two letters from Boston! He owed his community an- other duty. Since he was the only man in town who subscribed to a newspaper, he must first read to the assembled group the news. . . . The storekeeper himself was a "man of parts." Shrewd at a bargain, keen- minded, just, kindly, he was a leader in the vicinity. Arong his neighbors he was known as a rich man. His house was the largest in the village ard boasted steel engravings and horsehair furniture in the parlor. He kad sent his children away to school.

Played in this way, Y Z must lose four tricks. , it should also be noted that Z may first play the king of diamonds and then lead the four of hearts and let Y lead the deuce of spades.

He was a deacon in the church, a justice of the peace, first selectman, chairman of the school com- .nittee, and had represented his town at the general court. In 1840 he had opened a small gen- eral store. Now, in the sixties, he had taken his young son into the busi- ness, and had. moved to larger quar- ters, taking it for granted that he would pass his "trade" down to his son and his son's son. He. never thought of this village, where his per- sonality and individuality were so strongly felt, without his store, Twice a year the storekeeper went to Boston "to stock up." He was thrifty and careful in buying; blue drilling for overalls, thirty pieces of calico, hoop skirts ard bustles, cotton | "read knotted in "hanks," red and white spotted bardanna handker- chiefs, cotton battirg, "factory yarn," quaint buttons, pieces of glassware mede by that "new company down on Cape Cod," a few webs of lawn, a piece or two of sprigged muslin, sou.e webs of lace, needles, pins, an occa- sional piece of silk, hard candies for the children, as well as the groceries and hardware needed in the daily life of the village. Finally he added a few wallpapers. The following years, after the store- keeper's son had inherited his buai- ness, found the village growing. Small lumber mills were bringing workers from outlying districts. Summer boarders were migrating in increasing rumbers from the ¢'lies. The country store grew to meet the demands. Then appeared two factors which have.sounded the knell of the general store as it was known twenty-five years ago--the automobile and the mail order house. There still remain stores, one is willing to admit, where everything is nandled, from "knitting needles to plow poirts," but the cross- roads store as it was, is soon to be a thing of the past.- rom "About An- tiques," by Ella 8a-rnon Bowles, ri ---------- MISFORTUNE It were a misfortune to have friends until I have learned In my loneliness not to be lonely; or to have wealth, until I am rich without it.--Muriel Strade.

Her three children were continu- ally running jnto the house to ask "Mother, may I go over to Bobby Brown's ' or if it were one of the girls instead of the boy, "May 1 go home with Mary, and stay till supper time?" Or perhaps it was a request to use some of Daddy's tools or to get some pleces for dolly's dress out of Moth- er's pece-bag. At any rate, Mrs. Wild- erson was warn out with her own con- tinuous stream of No's, followed by the childrens pleas, then tears or re- bellious cries. Very often, just to get peace, Mrs. Wilderson would finally say "Yes" instead of "No." Then during vacation, the time she most dreaded because of baving the full care of the children, her sister, a student at the kindergarten training school, came to visit her, and relieved her of the burden. While Mrs. Wild- erson sewed or rested, she observed her sister's methods with the child- ren, and the atmosphere of peace that prevailed. What was the secret of the change that had come over the children? They never teased Aunt Margaret and seldom cried when with her. At first Mrs, Wilderson thought it was because of the newness of Aunt Margaret, but as the' weeks passed and the newness wore away, the child- ren were still on the same good be- bavior. Then the mother began no- ticing that whenever the children asked Aunt Margaret to let them do some definite thing, or to go to some particular place, she took a moment to consider before answering, and then usually the answer was "Yes." Yet she was not spoiling the children; they were more obedient, as well as more quiet and less mischievous, Mrs. Wilderson noticed, also, that when her sister said "No," it was al- ways after consideration and for some good reason. For instance: it was too near dinner time for Donald to go home with Bobby Brown--then the gave Donald something interesting to do until the meal was ready; Helen could not get pleces for her doll's dress just now because Mother was lying down and they would not want to disturb her, but after Mother was rested Aunt Margaret would ask if Helen could not have a little bag of pieces of her own, and then she would always know where to find a piece of material when she needed it. When the vacation was over, Mrs. Wilderson did not lose the benefits of her rest for she put into practice the lessons she had learned, chief among which was when to say "No." Before this, she, like many another mother, had thoughtlessly said "No" to many appeals which should have been grant- ed; now, only when the best interests of those concerned weculd suffer by granting the, request, did she refuse. Besides this she explained the reason, and so, to a very great extent, peace and contentment reigned in her house- hold, where once there had been frie tion" and turmoil.--Issued by the Na- tional Kindergarten Association, § West 40th Street, New York City These articles are appearing weekly in our columns. samt Nearly 200 Jand-locked salmon (Sal mo salar Sebago) were caught by ang- ers in Chamcock lake, New Bruns wick, last year.
