BRIDCETALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR.

Today's talk Is on later third-hand
bids, and we refer to dealers partner
as third hand. Third hands bid is AL
ways made under one Of the following
situations:
First-After dealer and second hand
both pass.
Second-After dealer passes and Sec
ond hand bids.
Third-After dealer bids and second
hand passes.
Fourth-After dealer bids and second
hand bids.
Now taking these up in order, first,
after dealer and second hand both pass
This would be an original bid, and, as
stated in a previous talk, third hand
must realize that, hwile his partners
pass usually means that he cannot be
counted on for two tricks, 1t does not
necessarily mean that he has bust.
Third hand also realizes that the same
conditions apply to second hand. While
third hand may hold a strong hand, he
realizes that the adverse strength is on
his left, in the fourth hand. II third
hand has but little strength, the final
bid will be made by fourth hand, and
II fourth hand after three passes does
not open the bidding, the hand Is pass
ed out and you get new deal. This is
the best outcome for third hand Of
only moderate strength.
Third hand, to bid after q pass by
dealer, and a pass by second hand,
should contain three tricks: or, in other
words, one more trick than required
for an initial bid by dealer or second
hand. For example, dealer passes, Sec
ond hand passes and third hand holds
the following:
spades-Queen, s-spot, 6-spot, 4-spot and
Hearts-Ace. king. Jack. s-spot and 7-spot.
Damonds-Ace and 7-spot.
Clubs-5-spot
You can readily see that you would
bid one heart on this hand, even after
two passes.
AS to the third hand bidding no
trump after two passes, the following
hand is splendid example. Dealer
passes, second hand passes and third
hand holds:
spades-King. Jack and 7;spot.
Hearts-King. queen and 10-spot.
Ciubs~l0-spot, s-spot, e-spot, 5-spot and
2-spot.
This hand contains an ace better
than average. SO there should be no
ucSlCdLlCy dDOuI bludlAAS OAiC hO " nAAH'
The second situation, under which
| third hands bid may be made, Is after
pass by dealer and a bid by second
hand. His partner in this case has
shown him he has not two tricks in his
hand, by not bidding, although he may
not have a bust, and to bid in this po-
sition requires three tricks, or one trick
more, as stated before, than is required
for a bid by second hand after bid
nv dealer For examDle dealer masses
second hand bids no trump, and third
hands holds the following:
Spades-Ace and 7-spot.
HeartS-None.
Diamonds-King, queen, s-spot, 6-spot and
Clubs-Ace, king, queen, Jack, 7-spot and
3-spot.
With this holding there Is no doubt
as to what third hand should bid. The
proper bid Is three clubs.

Increasing Use of the Cucumber

Instead of being used only when fresh
sliced, it now is cooked in numerous
ways and Is also combined with Vege-
tables and fruits to supply substantial
entrees and even main dishes for lunch

recipes are given today.
Wash and peel as many small cucum-
bers as there are persons to be served.
or cut long, slender cucumbers In hall,
shaping the cut ends to resemble those
merely peeled. Do not use cucumbers
that are very large around, for this
thickness may prevent the heart from
being cooked sufficiently when the out
side is deep brown. Dip each cucum-
Der in fine bread crumbs, then in the
white of egg and again in the bread
crumbs. Fry in deep fat-like croquettes.
Serve piping hot with a piquant sauce,
such as tartar sauce, Chilli sauce, etc.
Dice the heart Of a watermelon and
add one-third as much diced cucum-
Der. Sugar slightly and add a few
drops Of lemon juice. Set on ice to
chill, and serve as fruit cup for the
as dessert, or for refreshments with
thin sugar cookies.
Select cucumbers that are thick
through, peel and scoop out the CEN
tiers. leaving edible shells. or leave the
skins on the cucumbers, wash well, and
scoop out centers, leaving decorative
shells. Dice the cucumber hearts. Add
an equal quantity of diced chicken and
celery. Mix with boiled dressing. into
which whipped cream has been stirred.
Fill the shells and garnsh the top OF
the salad with thin slices of ripe to-
mota and wisps Of parsley, and put

Instead of the chicken salad, a fruit
or vegetable salad mixed with the
diced cucumber may be used to fill the
shells. 1t may be necessary to cut off
a thin slice of a cucumber shell to make
it set plumb on the plate. II served
on a platter, garnish the dish with
parsley or water cress and radishes or
tomatoes.

Human Farming.

''Were it not for this rapid growth of
the cerebral function chat is the brain
with all its thinking and feeling the
rearing of children would be matter
almost as simple and uneventful as the
rearing of live stock" These are the
wise words of a distinguished physician,
Sir Hector Cameron Of London, who
died recently at an advanced age. He
lived to see his pioneering efforts to
make clear the child's nature and the
child's nervous difficulties the common
property of intelligent parents. He wit
messed a complete revolution In the
ideas concerning children and their
care; he took leading part in this
reform. this discovery. Our generation
is really the first to realize intimately
what manner of beings children are.
II children hadn't the human kind
of a brain We could turn them out on
a human farm and let them Craze and
grow up to mans estate. That nerv-
Gus system of theirs is all that stands
in the way of this simple solution OF
bringing up children. The meaning
of this momentous fact that DR.. Cam
eron so pointedly states, hasn't pene-
trated under the skin of all other
"
and some psychologists as well. There
is still a yearning and determine
ton to simplify the problems Of child
hood. still an Impotence with all this
bother and pother about children and
their ways Treat 'em rough" and
not like dollhouse plants and they'll
turn out all right. AS wholesome
offset to coddling and sentimental
mishandling that's a sound policy. But
Iv4
shod, routine, repreSsive Ito be seen
and not heard" discipline is bad
and worse than foolish spelling and
indulgence. is one and the same. Chill
dren are not live stock; they have highly
organized, sensitive nervous systems
and the Child condition of that
nervous system is In peculiarly sensi-
tive stage of its development. Many
a tough adult was tender child.
But the main point is to combat the
idea that child-nature is simple. That's
the fallacy, and the mence of the
extreme form of behavioriSm that
makes its claims boldly and advertises
them senSationally. Bringing up chill
dren! The simplest thing in the world!
It's all a matter of stimulus and re-
sponse Condition them rightly, get
them used to do the right things under
the right stimulations and you'll have
not trouble at all.
Parents make most of the troubles
that their children give them. Now
there's just enought truth in this that
it is likely to be taken for the whole
truth. For very simple situations, that
do not involve so much of what DR..
Cameron calls the cerebral function"
it's almost wholly true: but just as soon
and that's early in infancy-as child
behavior is profoundly affected by tho
rapid and complicating development of
those higher thinking and feeling func-
lions, what was at first a rather simple
situation becomes in sensitively organ
lied children decidedly troublesome

and complicated one. In the case Of
rather stolid, tough specimens few Of
these complications arise. They can be
made much worse by false and much
relieved by wise handling. So the EVIL
dence isn't all one way; and there's
something to be said for the simpl-
fierS.
But they ignore so much that the
picture they draw of child behavior is
essentially wrong. It's a psychology
without a fringe; the center is there,
the focus is right; but the background
is ignored. You can isolate an infant
in laboratory and learn important
laws of behavior: but child in a fam
lily nursery is exposed to such indefi-
nitely complex stimulations and reacts
to such fine differences among them
that the fringe, the setting of the slim
ulation gets to be more important than
the stimulation itself. 1t seems likely
that on account of the inconvenient
complexities of the human brain We
shall never be able to do human
farming.

This Is an ideal bedtime treatment.
But even during the day. after such a
scrubbing. a little cream should be
used. and If the sleeves Of the dress
you are wearing are tight YOU can

result.

Well Tended Elbows.

The elbows need three things to make
them good looking. One, frequent
scrubbing with hot water. soap and a
brush. Two. rubbing with really
nourishing cream. Three. occasional
massage with vanishing cream. This
does not sound difficult. does It?
You should have a moderately stiff
bath brush. and use it when you battle
every day. The friction of the brush
stimulates the skin and makes the bath
twice as cleansing and several times
more enjoyable. Use this to give your
elbows a thorough going over during
the bath. Or, use hand brush. But
be sure the elbows are scrubbed as clean
as hot water and lather of soap can
make them.
Then, when they are dry. rub them
with thick. oily. nourishing massage
cream. They'll be in an ideal state
to take 1t up and make use of all its
goodness. The skin absorbs very little
cream, but when the pores are open
as they will be after this, the skin
over the elbows will absorb enough Of
the cream to do q lot Of good. Rub
