It's when you are holding good cards' that arecnot quite good enough, or when you are suffering from bad "breaks" that you are apt to lose heavily. The good cards, instead {of winning for you,-are a source of | ponents of the declarer. loss. Why is this? There must be some reason for it and the answer is really very simple. A player just cannot remain quiet with good cards. He must bid and keep on bidding. The good cards in- toxicate one and you become blind to the many signs that the odds are against you. You fail to notice that can one good had do against two? If players would only ask themselves that question, many a big penalty would be avoided. = : Moral: Don't overbid good hands.

It's an axiom of the game that one good hand against two has one hundred per cent, better chance to save a game than to make game, In nearly half of such hands, it would have heen possible to have saved game and in the other half to have defeated the opponent's bid, Recently the wirter kept a record of the over-bidding of one player during one evening's play.

Solution: Z should lead the king of diamonds and Y should discard the six of clubs. At trick number two, Z should lead the six of dia- monds and Y should trump with the jack of spades. B should play the jack of clubs but, if he wants to maké# a fancy play, he can discard the eight of spades. Y should then lead the eight of clubs for Z to trump, and the last four tricks are then taken by the queen of diam: onds king of hearts, seven of spades and ace of spades.

If we are bored by any topic above those which give food to our small dis likes or even smaller likes, we do not think. If, the moment a book or a newspaper raises a question demand- ing some supplementary information or reflection, we yawn, fidget, or hur riedly do something else, we abhor thinking. If, when trying to reflect, we at once feel a weariness, a drowsi- ness or a tendency to repeat mere words, we do not know what thought is.

Also in the opening lead, the opponents of the declarer are at a disadvantage, If that puzzles the experts at times, but the average player can greatly over- come this difficulty by the careful study of a good table of leads. In playing against the declarer, try to sible to your partner by use of con- ventional leads and discards.

Z must win this trick with the ten of spades, and now has the good six of hearts and queen of diamonds for the last two tricks. : It is a clever little problem and worthy of the closest study. not read, think!" or to transform it into: Never read, always study. A harsh saying? Not if we realize that we ghould study nothing that does not interest us, and that studying only ap- plies to the most enjoyable way of ex- tracting from that, what will interest us the most. Whatever we read from intense curiosity gives us the model of how we should always read. Obviously we must make a distinc- tion between what we read for our in- formation and what we read for our formation, between what we want for our use and what we need for our de- velopment. ~ But whatever we read we must first comprehend and, when we have comprehended, criticize, We must develop the eapacity to have our own opinion about an idea, a poem, a doctrine or a work of art, and to see 'mere synonym for thought.

But to keep no track of what one learng or thinks is as foolish as to till and seed one's land with great pains, and when the harvest is ripe turn one's back upon it and think of it no more. The principle which has never fail- ed to confer superiority on a man's thinking acitvity is the well worn pre- cept: Do not read good books--life is too short for that--only read the best. And of those only read what gives you the greatest pleasure. Great books, great men, great problems and great doctrines, great facts and their lessons cannot: but result in high thought. The busier we are, the more severe our selection should be. Mary men absorbed in business show such a rare quality of culture that we are surprised at it. The reason invariably is partly because hard work and even the weariness it leaves carry a nobil- ity with them, but also because there is no room in such lives for inferior mental occupation, You have no time, you say. Are you sincere, or are you just repeating what everybody else is saying? No time? Examine your conscience and answer, Is there no time you can re- claim, not from your work, not from your exercise, not from your family or friends, but from pleasure that really does not give you much pleasure, from empty talk at the Club, from inferior plays, from doubtfully enjoyable week ends or not very profitable trips? Do you know how to gather up fragments of time lest they perish? Do you real ize the value of minutes? One of the Lamoignons had a wife who always kept him waitng a few minutes before dinner, After a time it occurred to him that eight or ten lines could be written during this interval, and he had paper and ink laid in » convenient place for that purpose. In time--for years are short but minutes are long --geveral volumes of spiritual medi- tations were the result. What do you do in trains, cars or taxis? If you do nothing in perfect contentment, well and good, but if you feel restless you are to blame, Man- kind might be divided between the multitude who hate to be kept wait- ing because they get bored and the happy few who rather like it because it gives them time for thought.

'We ust morning as we approached Bourse in Brussels. The steps of this stately exchange were brilliant with tier upon tier f vegetables, looking from a distance like a carpet spread for the royal progress of all the kings of finance. There were masses of reds and purples, of greens and golds, glowing warm against the chill gray of classic columns. On the steps and in the streets that flanked the Bourse shoppers argued volubly with full skirted, - wooden-sliod garden wives and blue-smocked men who displayed cartloads of colorful wares--pyramids of red cabbages beside silver-green ones, the Yorks and Lancashirians of the cabbage kingdom, bunches of sil- very onions and of crisp red radishes, borders of lacy parsley and of water- cress. At the rear of the Bourse, cart- fuls of color--pansy-purple eggplants, yellow summer squashes, blanched celery stalks with feathery tops of green, rose-red tomatoes. Color again in the flower stalls whither we were being lured by eager women who beckoned with nosegays. Then some- thing happened which put color quite out of our minds, and replaced. it with sound. The steeple clock chimed eight, and into the market strode a policeman, ringing a clamorous handbell. In the interim between the first ding and the answering dong came a mighty burst of sound, as if an orchestra concealed in a pit had begun fortissimo a bold presto movement. And so it had--an orchestra of dogs. For beneath each one of those hundreds of market carts came a lusty bark--bass viol barks issuing from the mouths of great mas- tift-looking curs, squeaky piccolo yaps from puny puppies that seemed scarce plione walls from canines of houndish BALESMEN WANT] ALESMEN WA.

It was a mad modern sym- phony in an Old World setting. In orchestration it was like a dog show at feeding time, but in motif how dif- ferent! These were no hunger cries, but the overtones and undertones of Helmweh, That bell was the signal for clearing away the market, and in half an hour all good and faithful dogs would be trotting off home, drawing their carts behind them. What visions of approving pats from the 8, of glad hugs of welcome from their own little Jeans and Maries, may have danced in their doggish anticipations? We lingered as the market broke up, fascinated by the individualism of dogkind. What might not Browning have done in the listing of those dogs, he who could be eloquent over the Pied Piper's rats! There were big dogs and little ones, long-haired and short, blacks, browns, tans and white and all combinations thereof; there were dapper ones and seedy, gay ones and disconsolate. They were an ap- pealing lot, and we longed to be friendly; but the day's work was too serious a business 'for them to be wasting wags and barks on trifling tourists. So the symphony went on-- lente movements of anticipation. Then came a gradual diminuendo -- dogs were trotting off home. And we were left standing in a prosaic street, where alert, hurrying business men jostled past us on their way to the Bourse.
