Of Interest To Women

e. Please give suggestions for controlling moths in clothes closets.
 A. Brush all clothing and clean the closet thoroughly. Seal all cracks in the plaster and about the baseboards with crack filters. Equip door frames with rubber or felt gas- kets against which the door can be shut tight at all points. Place on the top shelf, or hang in muslin bags from hooks, 1 pound of Flake naphthalene or paradichlorooenzer1e for each 100 cubic feet of closet space. The fumes given off by the slow evaporation of the crystals quickly stop moth larvae from feed ing and ultimately will kill them if the fumes are retained long enough in proper concentration. It IS, therefore, important that the con- centration of the fumes be main tained by making sure that the closet is perfectly tight and has a tight-fitting door that is kept closed except for brief periods when clothing is being put in or taken out. Set aside 8 closets to be used only for storage, or build closet in the attic large enough to hold the articles to be stored, including up- folstered furniture that is not in use, and keep it well stocked with flake naphthalene.
 Q. Should bananas be fully ripe for cooking?
 A. Partially ripe bananas that are yellow with a green tip, are best for baking, broiling and frying and for use as a substitute for a vegetable. Yellow ripe bananas, after the green has entirely disap- peared from the tip. are at the right stage for use in pies, cakes, pud- dings and salads. Fully ripe ban anas, the yellow pei of which is flaked with brown, are at their best for eating raw, as they are most digestible.

championship is scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock this evening.
 Tn the past history of the tour namentS, New York players have had greater success than have the New Englanders in carrying of the prize money. Several new England experts are on hand this week to dispute the supremacy of the in- vaderS.
 Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and in the evening the qualifying rounds of the open pairs champion ships will be held, and the finals of this competition will begin at 1 o'clock Sunday. There will also be a consolation pairs event on Sum- day. In all play except for the women's pairs championship Amer ican Contract Bridge league master points will be awarded.
 The experts need not retire from the field of battle with the close of the Southern New England championship events, for the na- tional championships are to be played at Asbury Park, New Jer- sey, August 4th to 11th.
 The two principal events, the masters pairs tournament, and that of the masters teams-of-four are expected to have the largest entry list in the history of the com- petition for the national titles.
 Mixed teams, men and women's pair championships and womens pair championships are scheduled to take place during the earlier part of the week, to leave the way clear for the most bitterly con- tested of the struggles. For those who have fewer than ten masters points, there will be other tourna- ments for which they will be eligible.
 AS a final attraction there will be some events open to all Ameri- can Contract Bridge league mem bers. These contests for which mas ter points and other awards will be made, include a pair match on the afternoon of August 9th, an indi- vidual game on the Sth, and on the evening of the 9th partnership game for members who have never played together in @ master point event. ...4.
