BRIDGE TALKS
BIZ MRS. JOHN MUNcE. JR.

Having covered the bids by first and
second hands, called initial bids, we
come next to the original bids, or first
bids by third hands, which are affected
by considerations not concerning the
initial bidder. After two passes, namely.
pass by dealer and pass by second hand;
third hand must realize that while his
partners pass usually means that he.
cannot be counted on for two tricks, 1t
does not necessarily mean that he has
a bust" This term, used often IN
bridge games, means hand without
trick in it. Third hand also realizes the
same conditions apply to the second
hand. and therefore while he may have
a strong hand, the adverse strength
is on his left Gin the fourth handl. II
third hand have but little strength the
final bid will be made by the fourth
hand. If fourth hand does not open the
bidding, the hand is passed out and you
get a new deal. This is the best out
come for a third hand of only moderate
strength.
with a strong hand. third hand
should have greater strength than Is re-
ouired for an initial bid. An easy way
for beginners to remember how to bid
the third hand after two passes, is that
the hand must contain three tricks, or
in other words one more trick than is
necessary 1UE dkA ALlltAhl b1U Wy AA0V Va
second hand. This Is necessary from
the standpoint of safety and also to
fully inform your partner by the bid.
For example, dealer passes, second
hand passes and third hand holds the
following:
spades--Acs. kinS, s-spot, 7-spot and s.
BBsmondsSs: S fS ana anp $500
CluhS--4-spot and 3-spot.
Here YOU have q hand, that after two
passes, third hand would make no mis-
take in bidding one spade. The intor-
nation he gives his partner by his bid
is always worth while.
Here is another example OF a third
hand holding after two passes:
spades-oueen; s-spot, esspos and "a 45 spot
ci ubsms.spot and s-spot.
Looking at this carefully, you can see
that third hand after two passes, could
unhesitatingly bid one heart.
Now to pass on to the original third
hand no trump bids, again emphasize
that third. hand must be stronger to bid
no trump than the first or second hand
In making the same bid. It is recalled
that one no trump bid initially re-
ouired jack above average hand. Now
to bid one no trump in third hand
after two passes, 1t is necessary TO hold
an ace above average. The foiiowing
hands are typical Of third hand one no
trump bids, Dealer passes, second hand
passes and third hand holds the follow
ing:
Spades--K King, Jack and 7-spot
Hearts-King, queen and lO-spot.
DiamondS-Ace, queen.
ciubs-iO-spot. s-spOt, e-spot, 5-spot and
3-SpOt.
This hand contains an ace better than
average. and the bid, therefore, after
two passes, would be one no trump.
To summarize these third hand bids.
it is generally accepted that the third
hand requires one quick trick more than
khe first or second hand to make the

My Neighbor Says:

When making cake butter may
be creamed more easily and
quickly if first put through a
potato ricer.
Spread two and one-half table
spoons of prepared mustard over
a leg of lamb, let it dry, then
cover it with drippings and roast.
The mustard gives a delicious
flavor to both meat and gravy.
The best time to add walnuts
to a cooked filing or froSting is
just before removing the mixture
from the fire.
To change the feathers from
an old tick to a new one without
wasting the feathers seam up the
new tick, leaving about four
inches in one end unsewed, rip
about four inches in one end of
the old tick and sew the edges of
new tick to edges of old tick with
coarse thread. Shake and push
the feathers from the old tick
into the new one and finish sew
ing up the end of the new tick.

Sleeveless Frocks and Ornaments
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Just at present 1t seems as II the
whole world OF women had gone mad
over necklaces and chokers. 1t Is not
enough to have O different neck orna-
ment for every f"ock In ones wardrobe
there must be several for every frock
by way of variety. And in this neck
lace-choker craze the Importance of the
bracelet Is sometimes overlooked. Many
of the French houses-and Americans
as welfare showing necklaces with
bracelets to match. Chanel sponsors a
necklace consisting Of strings of colored
beads-each strand being of a different
color and length. With these necklaces
there are bracelets of six strands of
colored beads attached by a slide to give
the effect Of six separate bracelets, and
Patou sets the seal of his approval on a
bracelet of six separate circletS all of
differently colored enamel.
Men, I have been told, like fringed
dresses, and whether you dress to please
your husband and brothers and father
or your mother and your sisters and
your aunts you must admit that dance
frock ought to be something that men
think attractive. So think you will
be interested in this weeks circular,
which shows how to make fringe at
home, and gives q sketch of a new
frock made with fringe skirt drapery
which is placed on a deep hip yoke and
may be worn over simple crepe de
chine frock-when you wish TOTO give
it special appropriateness as a dance
frock. If you would like this circular,
please send me stamped, self-address-
ed envelope and will gladly send 1t to
you at once.

Baked Lima Beans.

Soak one pound of dried lima beans
overnight, parboil for five minutes,
rinse, then cook in water to cover until
tender. Add one teaspoonful of salt
to every quart of water used. More
water may be added If necessary dur
ing the boiling. Season two cupfulS of
cooked tomato with salt and pepper to
taste and add to the beans, which have
been drained of all liquid. Put into
baking pan, place two thick slices of
bacon on top and bake in a moderate
oven until the bacon Is crisp and brown,
which will be in about half an hour.

We usually learn the alphabet in the
A B c order. There is no special rea-
SON why B should come after A and be
followed by c. 1t is purely an arbitrary
arrangement. But once you learn your
A B C'S in the orthodox arrangement
you have difflculty in saying them in
any other order. 1t is especially difficult
to say your A B C's backward.
In learning the alphabet forward the
nervous impulses mark out a pathway
