Contract is a game of large penalties and you should not sub- Ject yourself to them by putting in so-called lead-directing bids. Those are auction tactics and they will not work in contract.

Tlie Play West's opening lend was the king of diamonds. He then shifted to a trump and East won with the ace, returning a trump, -which-Schwartz-in-the-South; won with the nine. West dis- carded a heart.
A small club. was led, which West won with his ace. West then led the ace of diamonds, which dropped-hla partner's queen and Schwartz ruffed with the jack of spades.
The declarer then led a small club and ruffed in dummy with the ten of spades. A small heart! was played and East's singleton king dropped. This marked Weat with the jack, so Schwartz cashed his king and queen of spades. West discarded two diamonds, as dld dummy.
Now the king of clubs was led and West was squeezed. He

south playing the .con- tract at three no trump. West opens a heart in response to his partner's heart bid, and when ho gets in with the sce of clubs, he leads another heart. Now can you make three no trump? It's not so casy, but it's interesting.
