A WINNING DEFENCE
by Bly Culbertron.
2
Although theoretically, the De- clarer in the play of a barid has a definite advantage in that he sees the Dummy hand, very often the defensive player has a tem porary advantage in that he has advance knowledge of the way certain sult is going to break.
When this is the case, he must try to take advantage of this in- formation before it is acquired by the Declarer, and thereby frustrate the Declarer's plans.

While little credence is placed in the Paris report that ex-King Alfonso iof Spain is seeking an annulment from ex-Queen Victoria, it is recalled that a similar rumour was widely elevated when the then Spanish ruler visited the Vatican in 1926. Observers say that such a more now would in- pair Alfonso's hopes of ever regaining his throne. The marriage between the grand-daughter of Queen Victoria of England and Alfonso, who was born a king, took place 28 years ago, and was be- Lieved at the time to be the climax of a real romance. Since their exile from Spain, the ex-rulers. have lived apart, Alfonso preferring to rosm through African Jungles after big game rather than live in Paris in the comparative obscurity chosen by his consort
