If the extra time proves wasted, then little is lost, since the routine hand will "play itself in near record time.

However, if events prove otherwise, then the extra effort will be well rewarded. Today's game hand is an excellent example of this principle. The declarer who refused to play quickly who routinely came home with his game.

After West's takeout double North's raise showed just about his approximate strength.

If North had held a good nine or 10 points or more, he would have redoubled to assume partnership captaincy. South was happy to gamble out the game, confident that most of the out- standing strength was concentrated in the West hand. After West's lead of the diamond king, the careless declarer can go down by simply following "what comes naturally." He wins the diamond lead and plays two rounds of trumps. He frowns a bit when trumps do not break; however, he sees no reason to leave one trump at large. He draws East's last trump and then tries the club finesse.

At this point he awakens to the He has no re-entry to his hand! Taking his only reasonable chance (West is marked with the heart ace by his double), he plays the club ace in an attempt to drop the club king. When the impossible dream fails (would West really have 10 red cards?) declarer moans about the "bad trump break." The careful declarer does-more thinking and less moan-, ing. He also wins the first diamond (a duck is unnecessary) and plays two high trumps. He looks ahead and, seeing that he needs two club finesses to obtain a discard, he defers drawing the last trump. Instead he takes a club finesse and then returns to his hand with the third trump for another finesse.

The ace of clubs provides a place for one of his heart losers and he scores his 10 tricks. Another example of careful trump management and a good general rule: "Never draw all the trumps unless dummy's trumps can serve no useful purpose."

Creative corner cutting is especially vital when the budget allows for only limited furniture purchases. More good-looking pieces can be squeezed from the same budget if high-quality covers are chosen for inexpensive upholstered items. A low-cost sofa covered in a durable fabric like corduroy or velvet is instantly upgraded in terms of looks and wear.

More than ever, an interesting decorative theme is a matter of good taste and common sense rather than lavish expenditures. According to Gary Grosbeck, designer for Sears, Roebuck and the superior interior of the 1970s is not measured by designers and dollars but by a sense of personal style and design savvy.

Faithful reproductions of period pieces, pacesetting designs crafted from relatively inexpensive modern materials and freewheeling do-it-yourself projects with a decorator look have made good design accessible to today's "more-taste-than-maney" families, he says. The secret to success lies in settling on a decorating theme for a room or area of a room and then going at it full tilt within a given budget. In some cases the dollar-saver might be the choice of a good reproduction rather than an antique.

(Copyright 1972) The Ailing House Never Oil Still Locks BY ROGER C. WHITMAN My front door lock is becoming so stiff I am afraid the key will snap off in it one of these days. The apartment superintendent tried a few drops of light oil some time ago. This helped but now the lock is stiffer than ever. Can I try anything else? Chicago.

That super should have his head examined. Putting oil in a lock is disaster. All it does is collect more dust and dirt to make the lock stiffer. Lubricate only with powdered graphite, puffed in with a small snouted rubber bulb, or use, one of the dry lubricant sprays widely sold in hardware and variety stores. If this is too late to overcome the oil, you may have to get the locksmith over.

How can I make my garage floor drain properly out the overhead door? We have always been plagued by the fact that the floor seems to slope toward the rear. We have to sweep pools of rain away from the back wall where garden tools are standing. Hartford. Mix yourself some ready-mix concrete and water and pour a new layer starting at the back so the floor slopes in the right direction. That's the only practical solution I know for this problem.

I have seen samples of oak parquet flooring squares and like the appearance very much. But is laying such a floor an overly difficult job for an amateur to attempt? Can I get any directions to study for myself? Green Bay, Wis. Naturally, this is not a job you can toss off lightly without some painstaking effort. But the results will be well worthwhile. Good directions are available from National Oak Flooring Manufac turers Association, 814 Stereck Building, Memphis, Tenn.

In a small room the wall can be covered with adhesive-backed mirror squares for a space-stretching effect. Or, if the look but not the cost of an original work of art is desired, a modern graphic can be hand-painted to cover the wall and even part of the ceiling.

Handyman skills with lumber and nails can turn a wall wasteland into a customized bookshelf.

She said among the institute's 68,000 patients last year, 113 were foreigners "61 from capitalist countries and 52 from socialist countries." But before a foreigner comes to Moscow to get a face lift he should calculate plane fares and plan on a stay of about two months in Moscow. The institute staff said from initial consultation to actually getting a hospital bed can take two months and even longer. Despite the low prices and insistence that nobody is turned away from the institute, Dr. Kolguneko said it is "totally profitable and its existence is covered by money we take in." She said 30 per cent of the patients are men, adding with a laugh: "Many of them wanting to get the shape of their noses fixed after boxing, wrestling, hockey or other sports." Treatment for removing wrinkles is popular with women.

"Now it is possible to have a totally young face without any scars," said Dr. Irina Ivan ovna Grom-Vrublevskaya, the institute's deputy director. Work With Men Soviet women still work in the fields or in factories and at construction projects alongside men and she was asked if such conditions caused particular problems for Soviet women. "Women are women no matter where they are and they always have time to look after themselves," she said. Dr.

Grom-Vrublevskaya, who said she was "long past 50," flushed slightly when asked how she kept her youthful face. "I had an operation," she said. Institute doctors talk many people out of having their noses changed or other operations.
