Declarer won with the queen in his own hand, played a diamond to dummy’s ace, led the seven-spot and finessed the ten, losing to West’s queen and going down one trick. If declarer had guessed the finesse, he would, of course, have made his contract. But in any event, no one wants to bid a grand slam which depends on a finesse. In the bidding we consider South’s first two bids perfectly correct, al- though North’s early bids are open to some possible criticism. It will be noted, however, that in our answer to yesterday’s question be- low, we recommend four clubs as South’s third bid. In this event North would probably have bid four diamonds and South would have jumped to six no trump. In that event North would surely have passed since he would have realized the possibility that there was some- tt‘:’lng shaky about the diamond suit. In the actual bidding, we think North should have passed six no trump anyway, but it should be Vienness Melodies | Music—Al Warner SHOLLDA HAD THAT ONE IN HIS POCKET.

From the bidding there is a distinct chance that your queen of clubs will fill the club suit for your partner, and you should really show this card. Obviously Mr. Schen- ken will not pass now, and you can eventually determine whether to play the hand at six or seven.
