South leads eight of clubs, on which North plays the ten to make an entry in North If necessary, but East plays low (I! East were to win and return clubs, North would win with the seven and play the ace of hearts). North leads nce of hearts, and South discards a club. North leads spade five
which South wins,
and East discards small club.
South follows with the second spade, on whleh North discards club seven, and East has to discard queen
of clubs, of hearts (or king
or un- guard his diamonds). Then South West leads diamond seven, which wins with the nine, and has to lead his hearts for North to win both. No matter how East plays at fourth trick, he is hopelessly squeezed, East winning the first lead with the king of clubs, in not the best defence. Correct solution from "Emjay. II.J.B.

They control that mysterious power of attraction in the same way that the moon controls the tides; both are an unalterable law of nature.
You are irresistibly attracted to one person. You cannot help your- self. You instinctively hate others; perhaps even before you have spoken in them.

Each one of these belongs to one of the four groups of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Those who are in the Earthy group are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. The Fiery signs are Arles, Leo, and Sagittarius. The Airy signs are Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra; the Watery, Cancer, Pisces, and Scurplo.
