on a three no-trump bid. and were
so ahead. 1t was the only time
they had lead.
The second hand was the one on
which Mrs. Culbertson was put
down four or five diamonds. Gull
bertson took the blame for the bid
ding, though on late post-mortem
he could find no way in which the
misfortune could have been pre-
vented since the five club bid which
would have won seemed to him al
most impossible to bid
That hand put the official system
team up $50, anG from then on the
Lenz-Jacoby .ead ranged up to
2,735 four hands before the end
of the nights play. The Culbert-
sens trimmed off l020 in the last
three hands TO reach the final score
of LIZA points behind.
Lenz and Jacoby won the bonus
that goes with rubber on the first
two rubbers the Culbertsons the
third. But the Culbertsons trailed
in total score on each of the three
rubbers played.
The schedule called for play of
eight rubbers a night. With the
match now five rubbers behind, ses-
sions are scheduled to start at 7 D.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8. U.P)-Three
men and a woman will settle down
tonight to the real business of de-
Gliding whether the Bridge World
Publishing plant of Ely Culbertson,
or the output of Sidney Lenz and
Bridge Headquarters, Inc, will show
the greatest profit in 1882.
The first inning, or chukker, or
match-three rubbers out of $50 of
contract-ended with the official
system team of Sidney Lenz and
Oswald Jacoby leading by IT'S
points over the approach-forcing
team of Mr.. and Mrs. Ely Culbert-
son.
However, the Lenz-Jacoby team
made three slams which they had
neglected to biG--shus failing to
collect the bonus which should have
accrued and repeatedly played
game-going hands at under-game
bids.
On the other hand the Culbert-
son team, failed to make the most
of it's cards in some cases.
Perhaps the high point of the eve
ming came on the fourth deal of
the first rubber when Lenz, play
ing the hand at a bid of four no
trumps, fell into the misapprehen-
sion that diamonds were trumps.
Lenz was SO concerned over his
error that he apologized to his op-
ponent, Mrs Culbertson, instead OF
his partner for having lost 300 on
a hand which might have made $50
points not counting its value toward
rubber
The Culbertsons played one hand
at five diamonds and were set four
when bid of five clubs would have
won. The opponents failed TO
double, apparently fearing from the
layout of their hands that they
might drive the Culbertsons into a
safer contract.
On the whole, the hands unques-
tionably favored the Lenz-Jacoby
team. The object of playing the
tournament on a basis of $50 rub
bers is to eliminate the influence
of card luck as far as possible.
Attendants in the playing room
during the match. and observers
who studied the hands outside
agreed that Mrs. Culbertson played
the best game of any of the four.
The players sat large and solid
table with a wide rim of wood

EVERYONE enjoys good food,
l. good things TO eat" but good
food does not necessarily mean
rich or particularly expensive con-
coetions. Good cooking is the first
essential of good food and the
skill OF the cook plays an impor-
tant part in the cost of meals. The
woman who can take the simplest
sort of materials and cook them
20 perfection always can serve a
tasty meal.
Next in importance to good
cooking comes consideration for
family tastes as a means toward
economy in meal planning. Adults
whose food tastes are definitely
formed cannot be made to eat
foods they do not like. The house
wife who tries TO do this finds
wasted food on her hands. This
in turn means wasted money. time
and effort TO say nothing OF dis
sruntled feelings. Children whose
tastes are forming should be
taught 10 eat a wide variety of
foods.
One of the surest and easiest
means OF economy in meal plan
ming lies in the regular use of sea-
Sonable foods Although the mar
kets offer all variety of produce
throughout the year. the cost var
les at different seasons. Long dis
lance shipping, involving the ne
eessity OF refrigeration or applied
heat. naturally costs money and
increases the price of foods ship
ped under these conditions. While
these foods are desirable from the
standpoint of good nutrition and
the variety they add TO the diet
airy, if strict economy must be
rracticed cheaper fruits and veg
tables can be substituted
Spend Time to Save Money
Very often economy in one di-
rection means increased cost in
another The cook who would
save money usually must spend
time This extra time must be
spent in the kitchen or in a trip
to the market In either event
