 Nancys bridge and reducing cIui, were meeting at her home. They always chuckled at the dual purpose of their club. They had Il good time lat bridge, but in addition they pledged themselves to serve only luncheons which would not add pounds unto their weight. And they never did serve salted nuts nor cans dies Ut the bridge tables during the progress of the game.
 Here Is Nancy's menu planned for Il spring day:
 Cup of chicken and tomato bouillon Fresh vegetable salad Mclba toart
 Strawberries and pineapple Narrow ribbons of caramel iced cake
 Beverage
 The first course was made by com- bining canned chicken broth aliI canned or bottled tomato juice. By opening Inc cans Il day before using and allowing the contents to stnnd In saucepan on top of warming oven the canned flavor was lost.

The other day I had the oppor- tuhity to observe two homes nidc by side. A friend of mine lived in one. ] did not know the name of the wo~ man who lived in the other.
 We went out to the yard in back, my friend and 1.-the garden she called it--bccause she prided herself on having the first spring flowers in bloom on the street. The reddish peet moss still left traces where 1t had been scrnped away after blanket ing tender bulbs through the win ter.
 It was Il lovely place. beds of hy- acinths already were throwing out color to match the crocuses on the velvety patch of lawn. In the corners by the porch forsythin was making April lovely with It's tender yellow cloud A willow tree was covered by Il green lace veil moving softly in the breeze. Lilacs were swelling. the rose bush high on its trcllis was red with new leaves. It was a lovely gar- den.
 Parental Warnings
 The two children of my hostess came around from the street where they had been riding up and down on their bicycles, and began to tramp up and down beside us over the grass. Occasionally Il small heel or toe lntruded on t soft bde where delights yet to come had not emerged from their winter sleep.
 And their mother would say, "Be careful, Marie! Watch where you are going. Benny! Don't touch that bush. children! Why don't you go out with the reaf That's what your wheels arc for"
 Next door over the hedge was q regular" yard. 1t had grass but 1t was just grass. not putting green. There wns Il hedge the place boasted one small bed of green cups. that were to be tulips. A cherry tree was getting white.
 A Place to Play
 But in the center of the yard stood m aluminium painted frame work that locke alike the skeleton of a minoiature skyacraper. From it were suspended inrge iron rings on chains. On one side was n "work-up" swing md on the other a sort of ladder effect for climbing. An arrangement Ut one side held a horizontal bar. That yard was empty when we first went out but one by ono n small noisy crew es- sembicd including Benny md Ma rie. who evidently were accustom- cd to the hospitality of their young neighbors.
 The youngsters proceeded to have one grand time, and stiff lit- tic arms and cheats compressed over school deslss got limbered up nnd stretched in hurry.
 We went inside again. my friend still taking of plans for her flow CTS. Evidently the woman next door, like Corneiin. regarded her children as more valuable. True. we might say that the athletic ones had lovely place to look Into over the hedge. but there is nn- other way to look at 1t. too. There arc years for flowers and yeors for children md liked tho rings and bara the best.
