Sunday is an odd day in every house
hold. Sometimes the family gets up
late and has a larger breakfast than
usual, which keeps every one content
until dinner at or 5 or 6. In other
homes there is a hurried breakfast
followed by q scramble to get the chill
dren of to Sunday school, in which case
there may be a luncheon when they
come back and an evening dinner or a
dinner at / or o'clock with an evening
supper. Whichever way it is, 1t is not
as ordinary days-the luncheon isn't
like midweek luncheon and the supper
is more like a tea.
Let's see what to have to eat for such
occasions. 1t must be something not
too heavy and still with enough body to
fill q fellow up. And it shouldn't be
fussy to prepare because the Sunday
dinner is usually bit fussier than mid
week meals, and one extraordinary meal
in day is enough.
One menu consists Of tuna-fish salad
sandwiches with tomatoes, chocolate
cake, coffee and tea or milk.
For tuna-f1sh salad sandwiches you
will need one can white meat tuna fish,
two stalks celery, two sweet pickles, six
stuffed olives and mayonnaise.
Drain the oil from the fish and flake.
Put into a chopping bowl with the
celery, pickles and olives which have
been cut into small pieces. Chop until
quite fine and thoroughly mixed. Then
add enough mayonnaise to moisten.
This much may be done early or the
day before you want to use it if you
keep the container tightly covered. Cut
day-old bread in slices a fourth inch
thick Spread one slice with softened
butter, the other thinly with mayon
naise. Spread the filling on and cover
it with very thin and very cold slice
Of tomato. Press the pieces Of bread
together and cut into triangles. Serve
with pickles and olives.
If there are children to be served,
make them plain tomato sandwiches.

BRIDGE TALKS
By MRS. JOHN MuNcE, Jr.

Having covered carefully the original
bids Of one no trump and two no trump,
we now come to the original bids OF
three no trump, or the game bid.
As you know, unless game is bid, no
matter how many tricks you make, you
cannot score game, as you can only
score the amount bid in the game col
umn and the over tricks in the honor
score.
The bid Of three no trump, origi-
| nally, Is the easiest of all the no-trump
bids to remember, as there are no ex-
| ceptions to the rule covering this bid,
and therefore nothing to complicate 1t.
We bid three no trump originally, with
all four suits stopped and a high-card
count Of 81, counting the aces 4, kings
8, queens 2, jacks, l and two los in the
hand !. We speak of a suit as being
stopped when headed by an ace; the
king and one small Is usually stop;
the queen, jack and small card is con-
sidered q stop, but without the jack you
must have three small cards OF the same
suit to consider the queen a stop. The
jack, 10 and two small cards of suit
are counted stop, but without the 10
spot you should have four small cards
of the same suit and the jack to have
that suit safely stopped. In bidding the
three no trump it is not necessary that
all four suits be stopped twice, but 1t
Is necessary that all four suits be
stopped safely. The following hand IL
Illustrates this bid and may be held by
any player at the table, as the three
bids are not affected by your position
at the table,
sPadsss-A !, X
piamonds--o, !, 8. 6.
Clubs-A, k.
In this hand we have the necessary
count and an four suits stopped In
counting the hand we count for the
ace of spades, l for the jack, 3 for the
king Of hearts and for the queen and
l for the two los in the hand, 2 for the
queen of diamonds and for the jack,
for the ace of clubs and for the
king-a total of 81. First, second. third
or even fourth hand, after the neces-
sary passes, with this holding would bid
three no trump. There are many COM
binations OF high cards which will give
you this count, and whenever you have
it do not fail to bid the strength of
your hand, as your partner is likely to
have a rather light hand when so much
strength is held by one player.
The following hand is another splen-
did illustration Of the original bid Of
three no trump:
Spades-A, X, !.
Hearts-A, j, 10.
Diamonds-K, j, 10, 4.
ClubS-A, s, 5.
In this hand three of the suits are
stopped more than once and we have a
count of 8 for the spades, for the
ace, for the king and / for the jack:
5 for the hearts, for the ace, for
the jack; 4 for the diamonds, for the
king, for the jack; for the clubs and
for the two los in the hand. With a
count of % and all four suits stopped,
one should not hesitate about this bid
but bid three no trump.

Sunday Supper Menu

half cup butter, one cup sugar, three
eggs, one-third cup milk, two cups flour,
two teaspoons baking powder, one tea
spoon vanilla.
Cream the butter. Add sugar grad
ually, Dreaming as you add Add egg
yolk and beat till light and creamy.
Sift the flour and baking powder to-
gether and add alternately with the
milk, beating well between each addi-
ton. Beat the egg white till stiff, and
fold in. Add vanilla. Bake in two layers
In moderate oven.
The filling is made from two ounces
bitter chocolate, three ounces sweet
chocolate, one-quarter pound sweet but
ter, three eggs, one-quarter pound con-
fectioners' sugar and vanilla.
Warm chocolate until melted. Add
sugar, butter and vanilla. While still
warm add eggs one by one, stirring
briskly. Spread thickly between layers,
on top and sides.
That is a more expensive icing For
a cheaper one, use two tablespoons but
ter, two tablespoons hot coffee, two ia
teaspoons cocoa and as much confection-
ers' sugar as Is needed to make it spread
well.
Another menu especially good for
those cold Winter days includes waff1es
and maple sirup, angel food with glori-
fled rice and coffee or cocoa
Glorified rice is easily made and may
be glorified more or less according to
will. For instance, q simple method is
to add to cooled, sweetened rice which
has been boiled in milk and favored
slightly with vanilla a half can of
drained crushed pineapple. For a des-
sert a little more elaborate, add to that
a cup Of quartered marshmal1ows Now
for greater glorification, add a half
pint of whipped cream. If you like, add
some rubyettes or candied cherries or
pecan meats or with q toasted marsh
mallow. This dessert is best If made
early and kept in the ice chest to chill
thoroughly 1t should be stirred occa-
sionally during the day.

What of It?

Sometimes child is naughty just to
attract your attention. Sometimes he
does wrong thing in order to appear
big and important. Sometimes he has
to boast to keep UP his end. We find
that the best way to handle him when
he makes this mistake is to look at him
and say calmly, Well, what of-it?
The teacher in the classroom Is often
tried to the limit Of her endurance BY
such children. A boy or girl who is
failing will behave outrageously. One
lad used to indicate his distress by an
1mpudent whistle. One day the teacher
lifted her head from her task and said.
very quietly, "All right, jim Bring it
here and III help you with it." The
astonished Jim took it to her desk and
she helped him to see his way through.
After that Jim used to catch the teach
ers eye, signal with his lead pencil that
he was in deep water, and get help. That
was all this impudent boy needed. Just
little help He was ashamed TO ask
Tor It. Didn't know how to ask for it,
in fact
There was a girl who used TO write
notes and toss them about the room.
They were nothings, Just the signal of
distress. When the teacher whispered
70 her that If she would meet her in
the study hall that afternoon instead
OF going to gym she would help her
with her grammar, that difficulty was
solved. A calm, what-of-it, always
helps
In the home the little children some
times behave outrageously. There. 1

nature of moonlight comes out to US.

like sunlight, cause anything to grow.
There are no life-givtng rays in It,.
Reflected sound and reflected heat do
almost as well as the direct article; not
so moonlight.
In olden days they believed that to
sleep in the moonlight drove you crazy.
Many intelligent folk still believe it, but
nothing so crazy ever happened under
lunar influence that It was not dupli-
Gated by the broad light Of day.
The moon was responsible for an i'm
lnense amount of muddling in olden
times for the reason that the quarters
Of the moon were taken as a calendar

lunar calendar a corrected solar cal
endar.
The astronomically fascinating part
Of the moon is that it Is our nearest
celestial neighbor Indeed, it is posi-
lively intimate with us compared with
the next nearest object in the heavens.
SO clearly can you see it through the
telescope that 1t Is said an object IS

learned night watchmen.
What the earliest astronomers took
for seas are now known to be barren
plains, which look oddly like lava flows
The mountain ranges turn out to be
chiefly jagged crater rims, or some say
they are great holes surrounded by
"splashes" where Tneteorites collided
with the moon and bombarded it..
These questions, however, are probably
insoluble. We can only say with GER
tainty that the moon is a lffeless, water
less, airless, heatless ball Of jagged rock,
hung out in space and rolling around
us at great speed, always turning the
same face toward us.
To the end of time man will never
gaze upon the other half Of the moon,
though there is no reason to suppose it
is far different from the half we see.

wife from remaining in it longer than
she should. if due care is to be given
the rest of the home. There are few
times when she cannot spy something
more that she could do right in that
room at the time when she must turn
her back on it and 60 elsewhere or
neglect the other work. This is often
true, as she leaves other rooms when
she knows her limit of time has been
reached in them.
The apportioning Of time by schedule
to each part of house so that all get
due attention is so difficult that it is
not worth while. The arrangement
must he flexible, as each day brings
its own requirements. There are days
when the sewing room demands most
of ones attention, or the room in which
the sewing has to be done, If one is
not so fortunate as to have a room
that can be devoted to this important
part of the business of caring for a

the sewing room come in for their
major part of the attention. And so
each day must have it's time graduated
to suit special emergencies. There can
be no hard and fast rule.
The imperative matter is for the
home maker to consider the house as a
whole, and divide her attention so that
the place reflects an equitable balance
of attention. For example, the living
room should not remain untidy even
though it cannot get its full amount of
care while the laundry work is being
finished. The chambers should not be
dusty even though the lower floor is
given special care. 1t is in the nicely
with which work is balanced to the
good of each part that determines
whether woman is an expert house

Canned tomatoes mixed with
