If we were to bid one, partner might pass as he is re. | quired to have one and one-half tricks to keep one bids open. Hands of this type are handled in two ways:

In treating o. reproductions, it is we'll
to speak of two types. The first is
made as carefully and with as fine
craftsmanship as the old pieces, and
therefore the cost is high. 1t will stand
the strain of continual usage as we'll as
original pieces when first constructed.
But this furniture of the finest present.
day cabinet makers cannot be made to
sell cheap. 1t is the sort which, after
many years, VIII, itself, become gen
uine antique
The second kind is true to type in
line and form. Ii may be of genuine
mahogany or pine, birch, or fruit wood,
etc, but more than likely the wood is
stained and finlShed to reproduce the
desired appearance. 1t is factory made,
and not so finely finished, especially in
the parts which 90 not show. In the
finest furniture cabinet or factory made
all parts are npished with exquisite
care. But this second type of repro
ouctlon furniture is no more expensive
than furniture III which lines are poor
and shapes ugly. 1t is this less expen-
sive replica furniture that is within the
reach of purses in which money is not
heavy.
In this talk on reproduction furni-
ture little mention is made of any other
pieces except repiicas. The wide range
of handsome, we'll built later models
does not come within its scope.

Kitchen Comments
BY WILDA HOYT,

TN the shops one sees most artistic
new table mats" made In the image
of the old hooked rugs of Colonial days
These tiny pieces are woven in sizes
suitable for use under the meat platter,
the coffee pot or hot vegetable dish, and
come in soft delicate colors in keeping
with the new tinted damasks, or in
brighter tones for use with cream col
ored linen. Hooked mats are the prod
ucts Of mountaineer craftsmen. and are
just as representative of the old art as
are the room sized rugs.
1t Is said that the addition of a piece
of cheese about the size of a large wal
nut will give milk soups a richer,
creamier body and a delightful new
flavor. Grated cheese is also used as a
garnish for the top of a number of
soups, among them the tasty onion
soup.
Save the vinegar from your spiced or
preserved pickles, and use it instead of
fresh vinegar for salad dressings, You
Will avoid curdling the boiled dressing
If you beat eggs and cold vinegar to-
gether, then bring the mixture to the
boiling point.

T%HERE are certain advantages in
reproduction of furniture which
it is well fer the home decorator
Il to appr eciate, especially the one
who delights in antiques, but
who has no time to poke around junk
shops ferreting them out, and finds
them beyond her purse to purchase
from antique shops, where the cost of
travels in pursuit Of articles, their
transportation, etc. must be part of the
legitimate price.
A recognized advantage in new fur
niture is the strength of the wood. An
tique furniture has an exquisite soft
ness in the wood toneS-unleSS the
pieces have been restored" beyond the
recognition of this charm. But wood
that is a hundred or perhaps many
more years old is comparatively brittle
1t must be handled with care lest it
crack or break.
In reproduction furniture that de-
serves the namc, this old finish is simu-
lated and the wood has a live quality
that endureS good, hard wear. This
feature is one to recommend replica
furniture, especially dining room chairs
which get such constant wear and tear
that their durability is taxed
If antique furniture has the original
upholstery on 1t, this is highly priced
But IN this, again, the durability Is
gone. The furniture is choice and rare
and must be handled with the respect
due its age. The upholstery of repro.

drains boric acid, 2 ounces witch
hazel, 20 grains sulphate of zinc. 4
ounces rose water. Mix well and pat
1t on the skin until it dries. To soften
the stubborn whiteheads and prevent
the appearance of others, the skin must
be stimulated. Patting massage with
an oily facial cream is good for toning
up the skin and stimulating the cir
culation. Use a mild astringent after
the massage to close the pores.
