YOUR INDIVIDUAL
HOROSCOPE
FRANCES DRAKE
For Thursday, December 5, INS

tage of a partner’s support. Work
performance may be erratic.

today. Financial matters require

difficulty between partners. It's a
time when you have to pool your

Virgo

A domestic matter requires atten-
tion now, perhaps something involv-
ing a parent. Some take on a second

a bit self-conscious today.
Capricorn

You’ll extend help to someone in
need. Pay heed to what your sub-
conscious is telling you. Travel plans
are up in the air for now.
Aquarius

Though you open your heart to

Washington bide farewell to his of-
ficers at Fraunces Tavern in New

ting chief commander of the Con-
tinental Army said, “With a heart
full of love and gratitude, I now take
leave of you.”

an acquaintance's cool response

(Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) 1
An indirect approach to a career
matter is recommended Some may
have to attend a business function. A
partner is at loose ends
YOU BORN TODAY are in-
novative and not inclined to routine
work. Your sense of adventure could
* make you a soldier of fortune. The
fast pade of the brokerage business
may appeal to you, for you’re at

Opening lead — queen of chibs.
No one would deny that declarer
has a built-in advantage over the
defenders because he sees the com-
bined strength and weakness of his
own hand and dummy's while the
opponents don’t. It Is therefore not
surprising that declarer, without
doing anything at all spectacular,
frequently makes a contract that
could have been stopped.
la Mas eases, though, declarer
must adopt an active role in leading
the defenders aatray by manufbctur
Ing an opportunity tor them to go

have been made
Fee exaaspte, consider the present
deal where West leads the queen of
clubs against tour hserts and South
counts four toeera — two chibs, a
diamond and a spade. He knows it
but the defenders don't, and it is this
factor he should try to exploit
Of course, East could defeat the
contract by rising with the king when
the first spade was led from dummy.
However, thia is a mighty difficult
play to make without seeing all four
hands.
The important point of the deal is
that declarer should not play the first
round of spades from his hand. If he
does, West would duck the jack to
East's king and the contract would go
down one.
