SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS
nv ANN PAGE

THIS week brings another sharp
rise in the prices Of practically all
meats, butter and eggs. The high
price of eggs is probably temporary
due to the heavy holiday demand.
The effects of the Florida freeze will
carry over for several weeks until
new crops Of vegetables can mature.
The mid-season orange crop was bad
ly injured so that juice oranges will
not be so cheap as they were for a
few weeks. Navel oranges are more
plentiful. Potatoes and winter cab
bage are two of the most economical
vegetables available, though bulk car

n USTER BEAR isn't long on
- patience. He cannot stick to
a thing long at a time. So
- in the course of a day he
starts many things only to
drop them before they are finished.
He had Bobby Coon treed, but Prickly
Porky the Porcupine was also in that
tree between them. Just so long as
he remained there Bobby was safe.
Buster sat down to think things
over. There was no knowing how long
Prickly Porky would remain obstinate
and stay right there where he was.
He is likely to stay there just as
long as he thinks I don't want him to-"
thought Buster. He is just that kind
of a fellow If he thought I wanted
him to stay there, he very likely would
leave at once. He is just that con-
trary, the most contrary fellow l
know The thing for me to do is to get
out of his sight. and I won't have to
go far to do that, for his eyes are any
thing but sharp. With me out of his
sight, he may take it into his head to
move. He surely will, if Bobby Coon
urges him not to, and that is just what
Bobby will do at the first move he
makes"
So Buster Bear growled few more
threats and then shuffied off as if he
were giving up. He mumbled and
grumbled to himself in his deep, rum
bly,, grumbiy voice as he shuff1ed off.

ging me to move, and now you are
begging me not to move. Some folks
don't know their own minds. They
don't know what they want and what

Porky. ~

Bobby Coon. You wouldn't give an

Buster Bear isn't here. He has

Please stay where you are a while

The latter made no reply, but con-
tinued to sit where he was. He sat
there for a long time, so long that
Buster Bears patience began to give
out. 1t began to seem as if he was
likely to spend the night there, and
then he might not be any better off.
He was just about to give up and go
off, when without warning Prickly
Porky began to walk out on that big
limb he had been sitting on so long.
Half way out he stopped. He was
still too near the. trunk of that tree
for Buster to climb safely, so he pos
sessed himself in patience and waited.
for he knew that if he showed himself
it would be just like Prickly Porky to
go back where he was before. ,
OF course. Bobby Coon saw Prickly
| Porky move out. and his heart sank.
He looked anXiously all about for

of him. Perhaps he really has gone"

The bidding was simplicity itself.
South, with shoppers in every suit,
tenace position, and plenty of high
cards. opened with one no trump.
North bid two no trumpS, and South
went to three.
West opened a low spade. South,
after winning the trick with the ace
in his own hand, could count four
hearts, two spades and two aces.
Either the diamond or the club finesse
would give him his ninth trick. The
only question was which finesse to
take. incidentally. South also noted
that the loss of both illnesses would
mean the loss OF the contract.
There was another way Of playing
the hand, based on the assumption
that West held no more than five
spades originally. South ran off four
hearts, played the king of spades from
the dummy and threw West in the
lead with his third spade. West was
able to take two more spades, but then
he had to lead into one of South S
tenaceS.
Had West held six spades, this plan
would have resulted in the loss of the
contract, unless West was forced to
discard one of his spades in order to
protect both kings. It's simple
enough for South to discard twice, but
the sixth spade forces him to discard
one of his two queens. West will
naturally follow South's discard with
lead of that suit.

Snow Goose.

Snow Goose.
TN OCTOBER, on a very clear day,
when the sky is deep blue, you
may see a great flock of white
geese etched against this back
ground. Often they are soon out
of sight, but you hear them, for their
voices have great broadcasting quail
tiles.
We rarely see these birds along the
Atlantic Coast. They prefer the in
terror and the Pacific Coast, where
they arrive in october, to remain until
April. They descend upon the Won
derful lakes of Wisconsin. and are
Winter residents in the milder parts
of the United States and Cuba.
The snow goose is, as you can read
lily see, a very handsome bird. His
crimson beak and white plumage make
beautiful contrast, and on the wing
covertS and ends. the black seems all
the darker for the gray and white
feathers of the body. The legs are
dull red.
At one time there were great num-
bers of these birds, but they were too
eager to help themselves to the Winter
wheat, over which the farmer had
spent many hours in the hot Summer
and from which he hoped to reap a
bountiful return.
The travelling hordes would alight
near these fields, either at dawn, or
landing at twilight, would descend
upon the fields at early morning.
After such a visitation, little could be
seen of the green growth. So the
farmer and his friends turned their
guns upon them.
When the geese are dining one or
more alert fellows do guard duty Lit
and their warning is obeyed instantly.
After eating all they can hold, the
birds stumble. stagger or roll over
from too much food.
Their ability to discover fine ponds
or marshes on which to alight is
amazing. From such height in the
sky they select these feeding and land
ing grounds. Usually, one of the old
experienced travellers leads the army
across the trackless sky. Then. at
nightfall, they descend. a hungry
noisy band Of tourists, who are eager
to dine and go to bed. They usually
| find a place on the water, where they
may tuck their heads under their
wings and sleep peacefully

of diet as a deprivation, because

Any one who has seen Miss Far

that any amount of trouble would be
repaid by their loveliness.
My fngernails, too, need a great
deal Of attention. I have short fin
gers, so I wear the polish all over

~ YSTERS, like other crops, are
farmed with the same care

ably no other article of food
is grown and marketed under more
rigid sanitary control, and for this
reason the housekeeper can always be
assured of quality. The oyster crop
of the United States is more than
25OoO,0OO bushels annually.
Sufficient iodine is essential, diet

functioning of the thyroid gland,
known as the goiter. Fish and she'll
fish are good sources of iodine. If
knowing that food you like is also
good for you helps any, then you
should take advantage of the oyster.
Serve them in the old-fashioned
ways or try some new dishes to add
interest to daily meals. In nutrltional
anemia. caused by lack of iron and
copper in the diet, oysters have shown
themselves to be exceedingly effective.
They are an excellent source of iron
as we'll as of other important minerals,
such as calcium, phosphorus, copper
and iodine. 1t was left for modern

Quickly frozen oysters have already

for some time, and the service is
expected to expand rapidly.
This quick-freeZing process makes
it possible to harvest oysters at their
prime, which is in December in North

other seasons, especially the Summer
months. 1t is hard to imagine any
thing more appetizing than an oyster

Once the Blue Point oyster was the
most popular variety for serving raw,
then Lynnhaven, Rockaway, Saddle
Rock and others, each name denot-
ing the section from which the oys-
ters came. Now, however, these
names merely mean the size of the
oyster, Blue Point being a small,
plump, finely favored oyster, for
serving on the half-shell or in cock
tails, and Saddle Rock a very large
oyster, popular with some persons for
serving on the half-shell, and excel
lent for frying.
The housewife of today can buy
her oysters shucked, selected as to
size and packaged in covered contain
ers of 6-ounce size or larger. In this
form she is assured of buying the

and various diseases have often
gone on a diet of warm milk, and
would insist on taking the milk as
soon as delivered from the cow. Med

Warm milk is probably stimulating to
