end up getting hurt.
I have taken the precaution of looking up the

County senior citizens
centers for the next week
are:

CLUB RUFF
After South wins the third spade,
he takes only two rounds of trumps,
then cashes the A-K of clubs and
ruffs dummys last club. He next lets
the jack of diamonds ride.
As it happens, the partial
elimination works. East must return
a diamond, giving South a free
finesse, or lead a club, conceding a
ruff-sluff. Either way, South wins 10
tricks.

HOROSCOPES

Apprehensive in Louisiana

DEAR APPREHENSIVE:
Because this has gone on
for 20 years, Im inclined
to agree with your suspicion that these mishaps
havent been accidental.
An effective way to prevent
further injury would be to
avoid being in the same
town with Harriet.

ARIES (March 21-April

19): Emotions will mount,
encouraging you to make
a move youve been contemplating. Dont overreact if a friend, colleague
or sibling makes a negative comment or does
something you dont like.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Try something new
and youll discover a talent you didnt know you
had. You will be enlightened by the experience
you have and the people
you encounter.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20): Do whatever it takes
to reflect and find solutions to situations that
have the potential to leave
you in a vulnerable position. Stick to a strict budget and refuse to be enticed by someone who
wants you to be reckless
with your spending.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Let your imagination
take over. Follow your
heart and trust your intuition to take you on a
magical journey.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Its up to you to make the
effort if you want to
change your life or your
direction. A day trip will
lead to the information
you require to initiate
positive changes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): Take care of your
responsibilities so that you
can get on with your day
and do the things you
want. Participating in a
function that is geared
toward children or socializing can be fun, but be
careful not to overspend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): Listen to complaints,
but dont let anyone make
you feel guilty. Its impor-

tant to focus on making

personal changes that will
lead to greater happiness
and less stress.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Make concrete moves
that allow you the freedom
to follow your dreams and
do as you please. Someone
you meet along the way
will offer encouragement
and might want to tag
along with you as well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): An emotional
or indulgent streak will
lead to disaster. Before
things get out of hand, take
a step back and consider
what you can do to avoid
mishaps.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Youll attract positive attention with your
forthright attitude and your
keen sense of perception.
Make the most of your day
by taking care of business
and investing your time in
what you do best.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Youll attract attention
and offers that you wont
want to refuse. Good fortune is heading your way,
and the opportunity to use
your imagination will result
in a new and exciting project.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Get involved in a worthy cause or reconnect with
the people you have
worked with in the past
and good things will transpire. You will advance if
you do the legwork required to put your creative
plans in motion.
BIRTHDAY BABY: You
are emotional, energetic
and enthusiastic. You are
orderly and helpful.

BY FRANK STEWART

Cy the Cynic says that if at first

you dont succeed, vigorously deny
that you were even trying.
Against todays four hearts, West
led a spade. East took the ace and
returned a spade, and West won and
led a third spade (not best). South
was relieved when his queen won. He
drew trumps and led the jack of
diamonds to finesse, and East took
the queen and led a club. South won
and let the ten of diamonds ride, but
East produced the king for down one.
You didnt play to best
advantage, North observed.
South didnt issue any vigorous
denials, but he said his play had been
unlucky to fail. How would you
handle four hearts?

She strikes out at me because I stood up to her.

9A

he bids two clubs and you return to

two diamonds. Partner next bids two
hearts. What do you say?
ANSWER: If your partner saw no
chance for game, he would have
passed two diamonds. Since he bid a
third time, he has significant extra
strength, and you have three fitting
honors. Bid four diamonds. Partners
hand may be 2, A Q 6, K Q 10 7 2,
A J 6 4.
