Conquering Contract
: By P. HAL SIMS

the hand was weak in two suits, 1t
must be a tremendous two-suiter to
have only three losers. In that case
either it would justify a three-bid
instead Of a two-bid, or else its two
suits are both so solid that they are
independent, practically speaking. of
trump support through consisting of
only five cards each. If the re-
sponder has no more than double
ton in each of the openers suits, and
so cannot show a natural preference,
no harm is done by showing his bid
dable suit; opener will still get to, but
not beyond. the game contract he had
in his hand from the start, and the
responder's bid will not have him
dered, though on this rare occasion
1t did not help. In nine two-bids out
of 10, the responder's bid of another
suit will help enormously-either be-
cause it bridges the one weak spot in
openers hand and so makes the hand
safe to play in no trumpS, assuming
no-suit fit can be found: or because
it fits openers hand so we'll that he
IS enabled to cause the responder to
be declarer in that suit either for a
very easy game. or more probably for
small or grand slam. Responder
provides the At. opener contributes a
almost always with immediate con-
troll Of at least three suits. Tomor-
row We will discuss some examples.

virtues Of the cabbage with its min
erals and vitamins, plus the added
gift of being predigested, we receive
when we eat sauerkraut. 1t is an ex-
cellent laxative; tonic; helps 10

Us clearer, fresher complexions, along

Glation.
Kraut Juice makes a splendid cock
tail taken either at breakfast or
luncheon. Kraut may be fried in but
ter, or it may be eaten raw, much as
you would salad. In its native land
it is cooked with sausage or a loln OF
pork-cooked very slowly for long
hours, until the meat makes a rich
stock from its juice, and flavors the
cabbage through and through.
Then a little flour is Drowned light
~. mixed with butter and stirred to
thicken the juice or give it a little
better body The meat is lifted out
on a platter and the thin, fine kraut
used as a meat garnish around it.
I know also of very tasty shep-
herds pie that is made with kraut and
a top crust of mashed potato. The
ingredients are: To one cup of kraut,
chopped, add one cup cooked chopped
meat, one cup stock or roast gravy, and
seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.
Mix these ingredients and put them
in the bottom of buttered baking
dish. Cover the top with crust OF
mashed potatoes, dot with butter.
sprinkle with pepper, and bake in
moderate oven until the potato Is
nice golden brown.
Whether kraut bought in bulk is as
good as it used to be I am not certain.
Since the convenient canned variety
has become we'll known. A great deal
of the disagreeable odor of cooking
can be avoided by heating the kraut
in its can and letting it cook this way
for several hours. Then turn it into a
saucepan, add roux Of butter and
-four to give 1t richness, and serve as
. vegetable.
Those who are following beauty
problem will perhaps not want to have
this vegetable cooked with a heavy,
fatty meat, but will find that the
addition of butter, as suggested, gives
II sufdcient seasoning.

\AAc Oilly SlCdIuIc l ever saw re.
main perfectly still for more
than 10 minutes was a sand
L hill crane. and he was waiting
for his supper on a beach in
Florida. Had he not stood like a
statue, his supper, which consisted Of
small fish swimming in with the tide,
would have eluded him and he would
have had to so hungry to bed.
So he stood there without stirring
a feather or fiicking muscle until an
unWary denizen of the half -deeps
came jauntily swimming by. There
Was movement SO swift that I could
not follow it and presently I OBJ
served thickening in the long neck
of Mr.. Crane, which indicated that he
had partaken Of the first course Of the
evening meal
~
We humans couldn't stand still so
long without acute suffering. And it
is just as we'll. We must move. And
II We don't move forward, we move
back. As soon as we cease to climb
We begin to fall.
AS climbing Is pleasant and falling
disturbing, it is just as well We were
made so that we can climb.
used to watch the people around
me and wonder where they we're 60
ing and why. I found out that some
were going up and some were going
down. AfterWard, when I had occa-
sion to think about such matters. I
found out why.
The men and the women who
climbed had some urge, some impetus
within them. They wanted to be
somebody and do something. In 9TH
er words, they had ambition and
without ambition you might just as
we'll give up the game and wait like
the crane on the beach for something
to turn up.
I know that people who are ambi-
tlous rather frighten those who have
no ambition. They are always rest
less, always talking about what they
are going to do and how to do it.
They get on the nerves of the con-
tented souls who are drifting down
the stream without ever suspecting it.
But they cannot be bothered about
that.
They want to do something out Of
the usual. To make new discoveries,
to make themselves names, to be ad-
mired. even talked about. And why
not?
What is this but a ceaseless effort
to get something that is worth hav-
ing? Why shouldn't you be filled
with a desire to surpass others? It
is an open race. Anybody can get
into it.
If you keep in mind that when you
begin to slip you will continue to slip,
unless you put on the brakes, you will
not be so likely to go down.

FEBRUARY is the month Of
parties, so plan to make 1t a
month of fun for both the
L young folks and the grown
ones. If need be, choose oc-
casions that do not demand many
courses or costly ones. There are
Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays
for patriotic effects, and that always
romantic St. Valentine, whose men,
ory we celebrate in as many original
arrangements Of hearts and flowers
and candy as our imaginationS per-
nit. 1t is the spirit, rather than the
form of entertaining that counts
most. Simple foods served tastily can
be as acceptable as elaborate ones.
II you have grown accustomed To
entertaining at dinner and find the
cost prohibitive for the present make
your invitations for supper or for eve
ming with light refreshments. and
there are other ways in which friends
may be brought together for genuine
enjoyment without draining ones
pocketbook.
= Table Arrangement.
HosteSSeS no longer worry about
setting the table correctly, for every
cue knows by now that the modern
table is simply set with a place plate
for each guest, that the napkin IS
folded very simply and laid on the
place plate or to the left of the forks,
that We place silver only for those
pieces which will be used before dcs-
Sert is served, that all the forks 60
to the left with the exception of the
oyster fork and all the knives and
spoons to the right, and that each
piece IS placed as 1t is used-from
the outside in-and that is all there
IS to it. The dessert fork and spoon
are brought in on the dessert plate
the fork to the left, the spoon to the
right; the fruit knife and fork with
the fruit plate after the dessert (if
fruit is served at alb and the small
spoons are In the SaucerS OF the cafe
noir cups when they are passed in
the living room after dinner, so there
is nothing more to worry about. There
may be individual silver salts and
peppers for each place, or paIf may
stand between each two guests There
may also be small glass or silver indi-
Ndual containers for salted nuts.

brown thraSher Maybe he is known
to you as the ground thrush, or the
brown mockingbird or even the
French mockingbird. His range is
the United States to the Rockies,
when he wishes to build a home and
raise his family, and his babies are
born and raised from the Gulf States
to Manitoba and Montreal. The fam
lily members go south of Virginia for

arrive in April and remain until Oc-
tober. They are well known Summer

Bread and butter are not served at a
formal dinner.
No matter how many assistants a
hostess may have, or how capable
they may be. she herself must judge
the correctness Of her table. its set
ting and appointments. The cloth
must be white, Of fine and heavy
damask; silver. glass and china must
be adequate to the menu, and must
be of good quality. 1t is bad manners
to be late at a dinner Of any kind;
inconSiderate of the hostess and Of
the dinner itself. Fifteen minutes is
as long as any hostess need wait for
a delinquent.
The man of the house should feel
that part Of the responsibility for the
party rests upon his shoulders, and
by seeing that each thing in his
province is well looked after he will
help very much in the ultimate sue
cess of the party. 1t is he who will
arrange with the furnace man for
the peace of the evening below stairs
and the absence of the craSh-banging
which too often startles the upstairs
guests, or if this Is an apartment with
no furnace worries but with wood
burning fireplace, he will see that
plentiful supplies are in readiness
for that. The addition of pine cones,
or a box of driftwood powder, pro-
vides topic for conversation as well
as an interesting adjunct to the
glowing logs.
Helps to Preparation.
A set of little cutters for garnish-
ing makes it an easy matter to give
to otherwise ordinary foods q dis
tinctive air for party occasions. The
cutters come in numerous shapes and
SO lend themselves to q variety of
decorating purposes.
Once you have used a ball cutter,
it becomes indispensable for special
occasions. With a circular motion,
pieces of spherical shape are scooped
out. Melon balls for fruit cocktails
are always attractive; potato, glazed
carrot, and butter balls are novel.
The best way to start any meal
right when grapefruit tops the menu
is to prepare the fruit with a special
corer which lifts out the center with
deftness that is almost surgical in
its precision.
