Just as a large part of good dummy play consists of trying- to find enough tricks to make your contract, so does o large part of good defence consist of Anding that setting trick some- where.
East's queen of diamonds forces South's king at trick one and South promptly looks around for his nine ticks. He sces that he will have to attack the clubs to make them, and he leads a heart to Cummy tries the club finesse. The Anesie loses to West's king and now it is up to West to start doing his own counting.
West has one club trick in and hopes to make thres, dia- monds. That leaves one trick

the ace of spades he will make
a lot of tricks, but West is not interested in South's overtricks. He wants to beat the hand if he can. So he leads the spade. East wins with the ace and now we see why it was essen- tal for East to get rid of that seven of diamonds. He leads the three spot. West gets two more diamond tricks to set the contract.

THE
THE KNEE-
THE cocktail hour collection of Pierre Cardin has all the sting of an ice-cold Martini after a surfeit of coffee and cakes and a flavour which could not be evoca- tive of anything other than this day and age.
For the Cardin collection is a stunner. It has every thing one looks for in fashion-a strong line, heart-lifting colour, a perfectionist's, attention to detail.
And it will have a far-reaching effect on the women of the world, for Cardin is one of the most-copied de- signers in the business.
HIS DREAM GIRL is dark, like the majority of his clothes,

Other show-stoppers in the Paris collections included horse-blanket check coats which the French think are "tres anob' but, which the English have been wearing for years.
BALMAIN featured a coat called, appropriately enough, Newmarket, which had a wide fringed collar and was just one of his collection of sporting coats. He teamed them with pull-on felt hats of the kind you might find in any London shop. Aley making is appearance in the Paris collections was the classic camel coat, worn with typical French elan with a coloured silk handkerchief tucked into the neckline like a cravat.
Dior continued the sporty trend by using tubrics that looked as though they might have been hand-woven, superbly out for topcoats and suits that appeared anything but home-made:
