Questions and Answers


Do you haze a recipe for q grape
conserUe?
A very good recipe includes rails
ins, oranges, and nuts. Here's the
way it's made:
Grape Conserve
qts. grapes
lb. raisins
, oranges
II ID. nuts
The grapes for conserve should
not be over-ripe. Wash the grapes
and separate the pulp from the
skins. Cook the pulp until soft
and press through a sieve. Re-
move pulp and juice from the
oranges and add to the grape
skins, pulp, and raisins. Measure
and add an equal amount of sugar.
Simmer until ready to jell. Add
nuts if desired, broken in pieces
Pour into sterilized glasses. Cover
with melted parafin.
How s0ould you make Honey
dew cocktail? Shoald the melon
be cubed!
We like to chill honeydew mel
on thoroughly, cut into eights, peel
and dice it for a honeydew cock
tail. We serve the melon cubes
with sections of tomato and slice
of lemon. The lemon juice may be
squeezed over the tomato and the
honeydew to make the flavor more
refreshing.
Is it possible to make meringus
topping that may be used for pies
or tarts soithout cooking it.?
The amount of beating while
making the mixture seems to be
the secret of an uncooked merin-
que. Here's the way to make an
uncooked meringue:
Add few grains Of salt to 4
egg whites, beat until stiff, and
gradually sift in z5 c.. sugar so
slowly that none of the lightness is
lost. Continue beating until the
sugar has lost its grain and the

uncooked flavor. Add / teaspoon
vanilla.
Fruit juice has left brownish
stains on some of my favorite lin
en- table mats. What would you
recommend as the best means of
removal?
Different fruits vary in the per-
sistency Of their stains. Berries
and early season fruits usually
wash out, but peaches, pears, and
plums, are particularly stubborn.
Any Of them can be easily removed
while fresh. Spread the stained
portion over a bowl and pour sew
eral quarts of clear boiling water
over the stain. If the stains are
more or less general, immerse the
whole cloth. If boiling water has
no effect on Drowned stains, hydro
gen peroxide or a chlorine bleach
may be tried. Strong acid fruit
stains caused by lemon and citrus
fruits should be removed by spong-
ing with clear water and then
weak ammonia solution. Sodium
hypo-chlorite is an excellent bleach
for cottons and linens. .

quite strong enough for his over- call, and North's jump to four spades is in accord with the best practice, showing good hand to play at spades, but denying slam probabilities.
 Dr. Vogel had a difficult prob- lem in choosing lead, but finally opened the club. Mrs. Hoffmeier, with her weak hand, immediately grasped the defensive problem. She played the queen of clubs, under durnmy's ace, to show her partner that he could underlead the king to put her in for a lead through the hearts, in which it was obvious that West held a tenace position.
 Declarer drew trumps, then led a diamond, which Vogel won. A small club was led, Mrs. Hoffmeier won with the jack and led a heart. Thus East and West made two hearts, one club, and one diamond, due to fine defensive cooperation. Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl

Cooperation Sets Hand = Defensive Player Signals Part with High Card for Return That Defeats
 Good Contract

we would have beaten that con- tract if only could have put you in," is one of the frequent post mortem remarks of bridge players. There are numerous situations in which one player holds tenace and is certain that the adverse honor is held by the declarer, but does not know how to reach the partners hand so that the killing play" may be made.
 Sometimes the problem is un- solvable, but often there is sound solution if the players will CO., operate properly in the early stages of play.
 In today's hand, Mrs. E. M. Hoff- meier of New York, former presi- dent of the women's auxiliary of the American Bridge League, held the East hand in a recent duplicate game, and her partner was Dr. H, J. Vogel. The doctors problem was to get a lead to his ace and queen of
