THEY ALL COUNT ALIKE

e. TRICKS TAKEN by your part
ner's hand are just as valuable to
your side as those taken by your
own hand. That is such an obvi-
ously accurate statement that 1t
can't help sounding like an abb
surdity to state II at all. It is not,
though, to some players, who are
dazzled by the trick takers they
can see and mistrustful about
those about which their partners
tell them with their bids. They are
the kind who will refuse to bid a
grand slam unless II is cold In
their own hands. But. II some slam
convention or other bidding has
made It positive that the side can
not lose a trick. then they are
merely foolish not TO bid It.

Trumps.
If West can depend on his part
ner's bids, he can tell that East
has the missing two aces and all
three Of the missing kings. That
should enable him to count three
tricks In spades. six in hearts. two
in diamonds and three in clubs-a
total OF IA. unless some Of those
tricks were untakable through
lack OF sufficient guards to the
honors In the East hand. An ex-
ample Of such a thing is In the
club suit. where there are three
top trick takers. but only two
tricks can be taken. That left l3
sure tricks anyway. but West ex-
planned after the deal that. II this
occurred in two suits there would

Housekeepers Can
Conserve Sugar
In Many Ways

A wear or even six months ago II
would have been hard for us to be-
lieve that ration cards would be used
in this country. Many housekeepers
will welcome the supervision of su-
gar purchases, as boarding house
wives have made things difficult for
the other more patriotic women.
In fact, many housekeepers will
plan to save small amount OF this
each week in order to make orange
marmalade, now that the Florida
oranges are so cheap. Waste of su-
gar must be eliminated, of course.
In planning to make the best use
OF this sugar allowance, canned
fruits, which are already sweetened,
will help. Dried prunes need no
extra sugar and can be used in
stewed form or with a very small
amount of sugar as a f1avoring for
dessert. Less sugar Is necessary
when raisins are used. At the mo-
ment oranges and grapefruit are so
sweet that neither needs sugar.
A compote Of fresh fruit or OF
mixed canned or stewed and fresh
fruits is always favorite dessert,
especially If little wine is added.
sTEWED DRIED PRUNES.
Wash and soak prunes, in Just
enough water to cover. about eight
hours, or soak in hot water about two
hours. Cover and simmer in same
water about 80 minutes, until fruit is
soft. Add sliced lemon If desired.
Cool covered to obtain thick sirup.

Manners
of the
Moment

Umbrellas have their good points.
But they are like modern machines.
Unless they are controlled and well
handled, they become dangerous.
The first umbrella rule is to be
sure to carry it at such an angle
that you can see where you are
going. No matter If the umbrella
doesn't keep the rain off. That's
just a minor matter. The only
reason you're carrying the umbrella
at all, probably, is because some
thoughtful soul said to you just be-
fore you left home, do you have
your umbrella?"
The second rule in umbrella car
rying is not to tilt 1t back so far
that the point of it will stab the
people behind you. It may be all
right to stab certain types of people
in the back. But it's never correct
to stab any one when you yourself
are not looking.
And the third rule about umbrella
carrying is to keep the umbrella en-
tirely to yourself. Sharing an UNI
brella with some one else always
ends disastrously. Both of you might
just as well stand under a drain
pipe spout. JEAN.
