JUST look at the North and
South hands and see how you would play at six clubs.
The nine of diamonds is opened and it looks like a short suft lead. You win in your hand and lead the ace of trumps: You would have Uked to try the trump fnesse, but you can't afford to use up one of the en- tries to dummy right away.
East shows. out and things look bad indeed: West is sitting in back of you with two polen- tial trump tricks and you will have to work out a right smart end play if you are to make your contract.
Jorge Cardenas of New York. who was declarer, did manage that end play. He risked going

cided to play him for one more. Then if West held three spades to the queen and three hearts Jorge could handle his case. Sa Jorge cashed the aces of hearts and spades; led a spade toward dummy and finessed the Jack: discarded his low heart on the king of spades; trumped a heart; got back to dummy with the king of diamonds; trumped the third heart and when West had to follow everything was "hunky dory."
He simply led out the jack of clubs and let West suffer.

The days are now much longer and Ruperi is just going to work in his own little patch of garden when he hears a low call. "Hello, it's Mommy." he thinks."Why -18 she so quiet? She looks excited."Rupert, would you like to go shopping in the big

THE high-fashion shows have begun-Italy's top designers have had their
say, and before long I shall be off to Paris to find out what the French
couturiers are doing.
But right now it's London's turn to show off, and fashion week here started with a display of accessories in the one colour all the designers are backing-dark ebony
brown.
It's a brown with a hint of black in it, a brown that is sophisticated enough to. wear around town and to put with anything-even grey — as an accessory colour. Some of the best-looking shoes in ebony had tor-caps of black patent, and are teamed with black patent handbags.

Flare line
Nobody pretends any more that the London couturiers have any say in major fashion changes. But last season one designer-John Cavanagh showed a collection that was amazingly in tune with the lines we saw later in Paris.
This year Mr Cavanagh has called his collection the Flare Line, and he has concentrated on dresses and coats that dare
