STUBBORN BIDDING

At the completion of 'the hand, fed as a sign-off, showing a weak hand wherein he was set one trick at five and requesting partner to drop the diamonds, South bitterly complained, | bidding. South did therefore have to "I certainly do get bad breaks. Here there were three possible finesses in this hand and every one of them was wrong."

North, his partner, who had sat patiently throughout the play of the hand, now retorted, "I think I'm the one who had bad luck on this hand in having you for a partner. Although I twice made an attempt to play the hand at notrump, you stubbornly in- sisted upon your diamonds. You de served to be set, whereas I was the unfortunate victim."
