Home-Cooked Foods Appreciated

is coming to the fore of attention be-
cause of its scarcity. When anything
is scarce 1t becomes doubly desirable.
1t commands high prices and is valued
Such is the experience in the business
world, and it does not change when 1t
enters the realm of housekeeping.
The hostess who would set before her
guests dishes that are decidedly differ
ent can succeed by resorting to home
cooking. In these dishes variety of in
gradients is not so much stressed as
variety in preparation, although If you
consult old cook books you will discover
that variety was not lacking in ingredi-
ents.
The quest for novelty in this genera
ton has shown itself in the mixing of
what were hitherto considered incom-
patible things. The work must be SIM
pie, although the combinations be COM
pick. In olden times endless trouble
was TAKEN, regardless of work. to pro-
duce dishes of excellence. Many of
these old recipes can be simplified, but
home Separation is essential. 1t is this
element that makes the present-day
home cooking priced.

MOTHERS
Indoor Gardening.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

My children enjoyed gardening so
much last Summer that I decided to
let them try some indoor gardening this
Winter. We transplanted several hardy
tomato and pepper plants, put them in
large pots and set them in a sunny
window The few tiny tomatoes which
appeared were well worth the care the
plant took. Then they planted some
date seeds, and these surely taught
them lesson in patience; but finally
they were rewarded by seeing tiny palms
grow Grapefruit seeds seemed to be
the most successful thing they planted,
for they produced large, lovely foliage,
which we used as centerpiece on the
dining room table.

BRIDGE TALKS
By MRS. JOHN MUNcE. IR.

The talk today will be on no trump
raises, or jllmps-in other words, what
is necessary for bidders partner to hold
to be able TO raise his partners bid.
Today we will discuss the raising of
dealers and second hands bid of one
no trump and two no trump.
1t is well to remember that dealer
bids one no trump with three suits
safely stopped and no worthless sim
gleton in his hand and a high card
count of 10, counting the ace as 4, king
as 3, queen as and jack as /, as well
as two los in the hand as l point.
Second hand, after dealers pass, bids
one no trump with the same require
ments as to suits and singleton, but
with a count of II, due to the fact that
dealer has passed, showing weak hand
or a hand in which there was no bid.
AS the, requirements for the one no
trump bid are so close together in these
two hands, the requirement for dealer
and second hands partners as to the

ounces hot water. This mixture cooled

raises for the one bid are exactly the
same. The partner Of dealer or second
hand should raise the partners bid of
one no trump to two when the total of
the two hands gives high card count
of %, and, of course, this means when
there is no better bid in the hand.
The following hand illustrates this bid
and is the holding of third hand, or
dealers partner. Dealer has bid one
no trump and his partners hand con-
tains these cards:
Spdaes--K, X, X
Hearts--K, X, X
Diamonds-Q, x, x.
Clubs, X, X, X.
Counting this hand for the king of
spades, 3 for the king of hearts, for
the queen of diamonds and one for the
jack of clubs, you get count of 9. and
9, plus the count of Is which dealer
had to hold in order to be able to bid
one no trump gives total in the two
hands of % and is the minimum with
which you may raise dealers bid from
one no trump to two no trump. There
are many combinations of high cards
which 60 to make up this count, but
it seems unnecessary to give more than
