BRIDGE TALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR.

In previous talks we have discussed
the doubles of one of suit, and now
we come to the doubles of more than
one. To double two of suit inforna-
torily, you should hold at least an ace
better than the average hand.
To double three of a suit, you should
be able to take at least seven tricks for
any responsive bid your partner may
make.
In a suit bid double, the partner of
the bidder is an entirely different po-
sition from the partner of q no trump
double. If the partner of bidder whose
| suit has been doubled has hand strong
enough to give his partner one or more
raises, he should do so as soon as the
bidder has been doubled, thereby shut
| ting out a bid by fourth hand. When
| he has nothing in the suit bid by his
| partner, but good side strength, he may
redouble or bid his own suit il he has
one strong long suit.
Coming now to the duty Of partner
Of the player who has doubled suit
bid, first, If there Is ar intervening bid
and the partner Of the doubler has a
weak hand, he may pass. If there is
| no intervening bid, he should bid as
| required for an initial bid. knowing
that his partner will furnish certain
and definite help. However, when the
| intervening opponent passes, no matter
how weak his hand, he should take his
| partner out of the double with his best
| four-card suit. II he has the suit
stopped twice which has been doubled
| he should bid no trump. The follow
ing hand is an illustration OF this
point:
spades-s-spot. 7-spot 5-spot and 3-Spot,
Diamonds-Kce, Jack. s-spot, 6-spot and
Clubs-Queen. 5-spot and s-spot
Dealer has bid one club, second hand
doubled, third hand passed and this
hand was fourth hands holding. What
would you bid? You will notice there
Is one four-card major suit and five
card minor, and you should bid one
spade. although the diamonds are
longer and stronger. The rule for this
bidding being, always four-card ma
jor suit in preference to four or five
card minor suit, even though the minor
suit be longer or stronger.
We next come to what Is known as
the subsequent double, which Is just
what its name means. 1t Is made after
doubler has made an original bid. but
before his partner has bid. Many
bridge players have trouble in under
standing just how valuable this kind
of an informatory double may be. For
instance, dealer holds:
Spades-Ace. queen. 1o-spot and s-spot.
Hearts-Ace. king. 7-spot and 5-spot.
Diamonds-Ace and 10-spot.
Clubs-Jack. 9-spot and 6-spot.
Dealer bids one no trump, second
hand bids two clubs, third hand (part-
ner of DEALER passes, fourth hand
passes, and dealer now doubles two
clubs, which Is informatory, as his
partner has not bid or doubled. The
reason for this is to get his partner to
bid his best suit. This type Of double
may seem very complicated, but it is
not, and is fundamentally the same as
the others, but is simply another way
of making an informatory declaration
to your partner and asking him to state
what he can do. There should be no
more hesitancy in doubling a two bid
informatorily than in doubling one.

Straig hit Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Stunning in the first place Of course. that
our past expenditures have provided US
with necessaries, and few of the de-
sired comforts and pleasures.
Often the day a man gets a raise In
salary or meets with good fortune in
his own business. that day is his most
unlucky one. Especially II it is the
signal for his wife to bend frenzied
efforts toward spending apace with his
new earning capacity, remaining the
while ololivious to common sense and
thrift.
1t is normally up to the wife to set
a standard of living that promises hap
piness in her home. OF course she will
be limited to the extent of her hus-
bands income, but nobody's life Is
without some limits. If fortune con-
tinues to favor her, extravagances and
luxurieS will not add to happiness.
Living we'll within an income rather
than up to it is a reasonable assur-
ance Of contentment. It does not
require a fabulous income to live COM
fortably, eat well, and dress present
ably. other than those things our joys
in life are self-created and need no
financing The wife who sets aside
some Of the income for future benefits
makes life worth living on what is left
and holds, or should hold, her hus-
bands love and respect, and inspires
him daily.

Emergency Supper Economies"
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

| minating, as they show what can be
done, or recall instances Of somewhat
like nature among the amusing things
O woman has practiced at least once.
Two examples come to mind about
coffee. One woman who had saved
the coffee left from one morning, ex-
pecting to make coffee jelly from It,
| used it instead for the coffee for the
next morning. Her grocery order
another address next day. Breakfast
without coffee was unimaginable in
her family Of three.
The leftover coffee waS strong. She
put it in the pot with the shells of
two eggs, brought 1t quickly to boil
and served 1t piping hot. To her utter
amazement. her family specially COM
mented. How delicious the coffee is
this morningl"
Another housewife, after an absence
from home found no coffee in the
container when she went to make it
for breakfast. Her perplexity was dis
turbing, but her reSourcefulness was
stronger. She had been saving coffee
grounds for some time to use for the
filling for small cushions for the Sum-
mer place at the seashore, because
needles and pins do not rust in such
cushions.
She was a punctilious homemaker.
Her home was a veritable "spotless
town" residence. The coffee grounds
had been carefully dried in containers
covered with cheese cloth and then
stored in alright jars. 1t was this
coffee that she now used!
She mixed an extra large amount
with one egg and boiled 1t tribe
longer than usual to extract all the
flavor. This coffee proved a really sue
cessful beverage, and the family never
knew from what it was made.
One homemaker had unexpected
dinner guests at meal where the
dessert was individual strawberry
shortcake. She was minus two of the
fiaky biscuits. Her ingenuity served
her in good stead. She used the por-
tons removed from the other biscuits
TO form hollow cup-like containers.
BY carefully arranging these portions
she contrived two other containers
for her family-but not even they APP
preciated the invention at the time.
One homemaker noticed the wistful
glances of her day worker when she
was about to throw away some soup
bones to which bits Of meat were
clinging.
would you like these?" she quickly
queried.
"Oh, yes ma'am" came the answer.
II can use them for soup stock. You'd
be surprised how good it would be-"
So always thereafter this thrifty
day worker had the soup bones. 1t
may be added that this person was q
person. She had discovered that meaty
soup bones can be used twice for soup
stock.

Unusual Parents of Celebrated Men
Balzac Claimed His Mother Hated Him but She Was
Faithful His Deathbed

BY J. p. GLASS.

ct have never had a mother" wrote
Honore de Balzac, in many respects the
greatest literary figure continental Eu-
rope has produced.
"She hated me from my first day on
earth. Between z and ID / saw her
but twice. My father assured me that
I would never have worse enemy all
my life"
He had his revenge for this treat
ment. He immortalized her unpleasant
qualities in one of his best known
characters, Cousin Betty.
Why was Nine. Balzac a bitter
mother? Probably because her mar
riage waws complete mistake.
In the first place, Laure Sallambiere
was only 10 when she met and mar
ried Francois Balzac, while that sturdy
provincial was at the half-century
mark.
Secondly, she had been born and
bred a Parisienne, while he took her
to live at Tours, amid environments
that were strange to her and depres-
sing.
Thirdly. while he was an enthusiast,
full of thrilling projects that did not
materialize, she was practical to the
point of stingineSs.
Their only point of contact was that
they were intellectually IalIly well
mated. though it is true that her in
clination was toward the occult and
the daringly metaphysical in litera-
ture.
She was disagreeably overbearing and
her state of mind did not improve
when her husband, as he grew older,
made the prolongation of his life his
sole care. He was ambitious to live
to one hundred years. rtvaling Fonte-
nellie. the celebrated scientist.
His wife, 80 years younger than he,
did not whole heartedly echo his de-
sires. Yet, she had gained some ad-
vantages Of their union. He was a
lawyer, later an official under the revo-
luton, and in his later days he re-
ceived a pension Her position in life
was much more humble.
They had determined that Honore
Balzac should be a lawyer, too. When
he turned to literature, they were hor-
rified. Nine. Balzac imperiously de-
clared Honore should give up his idea.
She refused to change her viewpoint,
and 1t was Francois who finally
yielded to the point of providing the
young man with an income during two
years of probation.

If husband earns $4,000 year, and
one spends $4,000, is that living up to
the husbands income in a proper
sense? 1t would indicate a certain
skill to be sure in reaching limit.
AS a general thing most of the women
with whom we have discussed this
thing agree it is best to live up to a
standard. And it is wise to base that
standard on ones income. Living up
to a salary leaves one with spending
goal but no standard.
BY living up to an income it is
understood one Is putting on 'front.'
that Is deemed expressive of ones
means. Putting on airs only impresses
those we are disinterested in impress
ing. It Is ordinarily depressing to our
own fortunes.
