By OSWALD JACOBY VERYBODY knows the tradi-
tion that the stage comedian yearns to play Hamlet and that the Saint Bernard may fancy itself as a lapdog. Likewise, our old friend Hard Luck Joe rome- times tries to act like Larceny Lou. The results are funny to everybody but Joe.
Went opened the four of hearta. and dummy won with the ace. Joe saw that he could eventually dis card the losing heart on a high upade If Eart held the see of spades. Therefore Jue drew three rounds of trumps, ending in dummy, and led the king of spades through East.
When Fast played the ace of Apades, Jor's face îR up like a five- trick cent cigar. In fact ke a cigar that blows up. Joe ruited with his tourth trunip and looked triumphantly at the dummy for about one second. Then his face changed from triumph to despair.
If Joe led his last trump to dum- he could discard his losing heart on the queen of spades bul Then could not bring in the dia- monds. Joe would have no trumpa to prevent the opponents from run- ning spades and hearts in huge quantities.

95% Junk
"Ninety-five percent of the Parisian designers' output is junk. Their narrow shoulder and padded hips edict is stupid. Why don't they let a woman's figure do what comes naturally? Women have beautiful bodies but they're not permitted to look natural.
