In today’s deal Mr. Champion;
led the deuce of spade. the cor-é
not lead from his holding in his;
partner's bid suit. Mr. Abel won:
with the ace. returned the ten;
and Mr. Dale ducked. Mag
Champion overtook with the.
lick to avoid. blocking the suit;
and led his last spade. 3
Mr. Dale won with the king of !
epa'des and checked on his pros
pects. They didn't look too eood.
Even if he could bring in (our
club tricks by some good fortune.
there appeared to be no way to
aﬁeld taking the heart finesse.
0! course both minor suit queens
might fall doubleton but that
was asking a lot. And the heart
ﬁnesse didn't look too healthy
since Mr. Abel was the one who
had put in an overcall. .
The campaign had to be
started somewhere so Mr. Dale
laid down the king of clubs.
Here the picture changed sud
denly when Mr. Champion fol
lowed suit with the queen.
Mr. Dale did a little quick,
counting. Mr. Abel had started;
with live spades and four clubsl.
and therefore could have only’
(our red cards. Perhaps thesel
included the queen doubleton in 6
diamonds. 1
“Trying for this possibility Min;
Dale cashed the ace and king of ‘
diamonds. 0n the second dis-l
mond Mr. Abel discarded the:
trey of hearts. But the answer'
was there anyway. .
Mr. Dale cashed dummy’s jack.
of clubs. led a small club andi
ﬁnessed the nine. He cashed the‘
ace of clubs and then calmly led!
his hat spade. Mr. Abel won and:
cashed another spade. But then
he had nothina left but two
hearts and was forced to lead
into dummy's ace-queen to give
Mr. Dale a total of nine tricks. 1

Stefansson was not impressed. I
“My mother is alive.” he whis-,

A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY
Pittsburgh: Which is correct,
“Jennifer Jones is an excellent
actress" or "... excellent actor"?
—J. W. G.
Answer: Strictly speaking, any
person who acts is an actor,
just as any person who edits is an
editor. In other words, the suf
;flx -or is not masculine. How
ever, the feminine -ess. which
has all but disappeared in modern
English, lq still proper in a few
nouns: actress, waitress, hostess,
enchantress.
Boulder: I have a new pony.;
It s a palomino. Will you please
tell me how to pronounce it?i
—Gail W.
Answer: I’m happy about your
pony, Gail. Palominos are beau
tiful. Palomino is a Spanish loan
word. In that language it means
"a young pigeon " In the United i
States a palomino is a bull-:
colored horse, whose tail and
mane are creamy-white. The
Spanish pronunciation is: PAHL
ph-MEE-noo. In America the
word is usually pronounced:
PAL-uh-MEE-nuh, although
many prefer the Spanish pro
nunciation. This seems likely to
become the Standard American
pronunciation: PAL-uh-MEE
!jioe.
Louisville: When Inquiring.
’ about a person's last name,
' which is correct. “Mary who?”
or “Mary whom?" and why?
•j —L. K.
! Answer: The word that fol
j lows a name and replaces a
' name is called a substantive
- pronoun. Correct: Mary Who?
5 Mrs. Who? Captain Who?
