East made things as difficult as possible for his vul- nerable opponents by his jump raise to five diamonds. While South might well have doubled this bid, he pre- ferred to leave the decision to his partner. Unwilling to be shut out, North boldly bid five hearts. Now South made the really brilliant .bid of six clubs. He reasoned, first, that North would hold no more than one diamond; second, that his own solid club suit would be safer than hearts, even thought he held four. South, dealer.

North, 1& 10 14 Pass Pass 59 6h Pass Pass Now for the play: West opened the king of diamonds, then shifted to a spade. Winning in dummy, South trumped a spade, ruffed his other diamond, then trumped a sec- ond spade. Declarer then drew trumps and discarded his two small hearts on dummy’s two established spade tricks. Actually the contract could have been defeated in three different ways: (1) A small diamond open- ing by West and a heart return; (2) a trump opening by West; (3) if after opening the diamond king West had continued the suit, South would have had one less entry to dummy and therefore would have been unable to establish the spade suit. Still and all, the best defense against this slam contract was not easy to visual- ize and West should not be criticized too severely.

Then Peter Rabbit hopped up on the very log on which Reddy Fox and Shadow the Weasel were kept prisoners by Prickly Porky, and Peter made a speech. It wasn’t very much of a speech, but he told old Mrs. Possum how he had planned this surprise party and how the surprise was really their and not hers. He fin- ished by suggesting that it was time to eat. Then everybody brough: out the good things which had been prepared and all began to eat and talk at once. ’
