Before playing to this trick. Mir Frank carefully analysed the hand as follows: r.
 "If I play the queen of spades, East will wi nthe trick with the ace. If he will return a spade. l can discard a heart and make six odd. But suppose he returns a heart. Then I may lost two heart tricks. which will defeat my con tract. .I..
 'If refuse to play the queen of spades from dummy and put on q small spade. do not think East will oyertake his partners jack. Now, regardless of what West plays. l am bound to make my contract"
 Now, I want you to look over the hand and follow Mr Frank't She of reasoning. Can't you see how careful it is?
 When a small spade Is played from dummy, East allows hls part- ner 10 hold the trick. and all West can. do is to cash the ace Of hearts, which i1e did. if he had not, Of course. one heart would have been dIscnrfed on the queen of spades and ihe other on the fourth club. tcopyrisht 1884, NEA Service Ine)

By this time, doubtless, you've
 heard the rumor that chop suey
 is considered a1 American dish in China, having been unknown there until some resident Americans, homesick for their old idea of Chi nese food, introduced 1t. The. story may be exaggerated a. little, but apparently 1t has a fact foundation. And indeed, many
 of the foods we know as Chinese are at best only adaptations of na- tive dishes. Egg roll, however:
 used as an appetizer, is the real
 thing in Orientalism. So If you want to serve a Chinese dinner that is different, you might make egg roll the main dish, for 1t IS substantial enough if combined with vegetables and preceded by a hearty fish soup.
 Every large city has stores where the supplies needed for concocting
 a Chinese meal may be bought most of them, by the way, have to be imported from the homeland. Making Egg Roll
 For egg roll you will need: Four cups flour, IA pound wa terchestnut flour, 3 eggs. 1-2 pound fresh or canned shrimps. l can
 bamboo shoots, equal quantity roast pork.
 Mix flour and waterchestnut flour with water to consistency of light
 batter. Add lightly beaten eggs and mix. Heat rine-inch iron
 irving pan and oil lightly with a bit of crumpled oiled paper dipped I in cooking oil. Pour in enough bat ter to completely cover bottom.
 Pour off excess batter, although If you are careful you can pour in

 Blocker tamped the tobacco in the bowl of his pipe with a quick thrust of his right forefnger.
 ''No," he said, "I'm not inter- ested in that stuff."
 There was silence for moment.
 .'What were you saying about the pickpocket?" asked Blocker.
 ''He was either a professional pickpocket or an amateur pick pocket" Griff said. If he'd been an amateur, it's hardly possible that he'd have managed to pick Cathay's pocket without Cathay knowing 1t. Of course he might On the other hand. a professional pickpocket invariably strips the wallet of money and throws the wallet itself away. Obviously there's nothing that's more incrim- mating than to De caught with a mans wallet in your possession, particularly when that wallet con- tains cards and other means of identification"
 "That doesn't mean very much as far as the solution of the mys- tery is concerned" Blocker pointed

It shows that she was loyal to her husbands inter- ests, that she thought his sickness was the result of nervous col lapse from worrying over what we might do to his reputation. And she couldn't have possibly made a better gesture that would show she regarded the illness of her hus- band as relatively trivial"
 Kenney stared thoughtfully at the junior publisher.
 "But," he said. If Cathay was murdered then the person who poisoned him knew that Cathay was going to die. If he knew Ca thay was going to die. what was the object in killing Charles Nor den?"

 Dan Blocker sat in an over- stuffed leather chair, his teeth clamped on the stem of a pipe. His dark eyes watching Griff with an expression of frowning irritation.
 "You've told me everything" asked Griff.
 "Everything." said Blocker. And I wish you wouldn't keep pacing the floor. You're making me nerv- ous."

I know a girl who has rather plain features, just average hair and a complexion that isn't quite all 1t should be. Yet almost every person who ever is introduced to
 her pays her a compliment. Every
 one speaks about her eyes.
 They aren't particularly large
 and the color of them isn't clear,
 sparkling and full of enthusiasm. One knows instinctively that the
 young woman gets an adequate
 amount of sleep and that she
 takes excellent care of her eyes. Any girl can improve her looks and earn compliments for herself if she will consider eye treat ments in the same important cate- gory as the ones for hair, com plexion and figure. An eye lotion should have as prominent a place on your cosmetic shelf as skin tonic, creams and complexion To- tions. And 1t should be used twice day. If you don't like commer- cially prepared eye lotions, use a weak solution of boracic acid.
 Wear colored glasses when you're motoring or sitting in bright sunlight. Remember that reading or writing in a poor light causes eyestrain which not only impairs your vision but eventual ly will cause fine lines and wrin- kles Don't read in bed unless you are propped up in sitting posi- tion. If you need glasses, by all means wear them. They may not be fiattering. but they're 0 lot bet ter than headaches. lines and dark circles Chronic dark circles, by the way, often are due to poor circulation or some other physical ailment. Better see your doctor about them.

A New Sauce for Lamb

 There's a new sparkle t cokery today, a new thrill, new delight. We, who so long were forced to depend wholliy on the good sub stantial fare of the era, have new wakened to the delectability of fiavor-we've learned to combine the usual thing in an unusual man. ner. We've learned to appreciate the fact that saupcon this and d ash of that can so change a seemingly trite dish, or lift from the ordinary familiar sauce, that 1t becomes at once a food fit, for the very gods themselves.
 Take a plain every day roast of lamb, for instance, and you may choose either a choice leg or an inexpensive shoulder or breast, as you will. Cook 1t carefully as al ways, serve it hot or cold, but dress 1t with a sauce that combines spicy fiavors, rich fruit juices, sweeteed with sugar, few thim- blefuls of wine, and what have you? Why a dish that might have been prepared for Cleopatra's feast ing, or at least for the most criti- cal gourmet of your acquaintance its all in the flavor, you see. And this sauce-how to make it. what to put into it-let's be spe- cific as well as imaginative.
 So here are complete directions Heat half glass of clrrent jelly with { tablespoons of sugar, add the grated rind of an orange with 9 tablespoons of lemoa juice. Whip in i-4 teaspoon salt and generous dash of paprika, and mix all with ( tnsblesponfuls of the liquid in the roasting pan. first. of course. rec moving the fat.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris-(UP) - Here and there | among the smaller houses you find really haute courture as well as in the larger places, which are more publicized. Jane Duyerne, for instance, makes a two-piece ensemble that would be a pride to any dressmak. CT. It is in black velvet, the skirt straight and narrow with a dis criminating slit at the side; the coat is three-quarter length and bound at the hem with silver fox. Fox also trims the sleeves from elbow to wrist in spiral effect, and there is a scarf collar of fox which extends to the waist. The coat Is belted ana the waistline is well de-
 fined so that the lower portion has a definite flare.
 Then there is Georgette Renal with her ensemble for evening in
 black and white squared moire lame. It has black patent leath- CT belt and the lapels of the tailor ed jacket that goes with 1t are also of patent leather, along with the
 narrow turn-back cuffs. The hem
 Is ruffled and there are three ruff fies placed diagona1ly over the
 right hip. The skirt is slit up the front to the knees and the ruffles around the hem, continue up the slit. It gives the effect of a tatl- oredi jacket over a Rumba frock, for the skirt swoops down in the back into a brief train. Lewis does terribly smart hat that is so plain you can't believe 1t, It is made of dark green felt, turned up slightly on the left side of the narrow brim and trimmed In front with two simple little swirls of green and grenat pigeon feathers.
 Jane Blanchot makes . toquc fin red velvet of two shades and trimmed at the side with two small black pompoms. The shape of this model Is quite candy-box, round and about three inches deep.
