BY Anna Chase

She has very regular features,
nice, frank hazel eyes, black, slightly
curly hair, cut simply and arranged
most informally. She stands we'll,
handles her long legs and arms
gracefully and has no nervous affec-
tations. Her voice is low and well
modulated. Her diction is excellent.
She has a remarkable sense of
humor, delightful laugh and seems
to like every one and enjoy each
experience.
Most of us would say Immediately
that she had devoted parents who
had spent great deal of time help
ing her to cultivate all her best
characteristics. But this is not the
case. Her mother is business
woman who spends very little time
with her daughter. Her father was
separated from her mother when
Nan was three. A grandfather and
grandmother have spent some time
with her. But 1t would be untrue to
say that any of her charm was the
result of her home training.
In addition to her personal at
tractiveness she is exceedingly cap
able. She has taught herself to
cook. and really enjoys it. She is
perfectly capable of planning, cook
ing and serving small dinner. She
can wash and iron her own dresses
well enough to be worn to school.

TOP OF STOVE DINNER.


Thanks DO S. F. c., ArlingtonJ

the meal Is a Spanish sauce which
can be used in preparing spaghetti

and one large onion. Fry in two
tablespoons of butter or margarine
until slightly brown. Add two
peeled, chopped tomatoes. Cook
slowly until tomatoes are very soft.
Add one 7la -ounce can of tomato
sauce and half as much water. Cook
until thick Add salt to taste.
Spaghetti-Boil half of 9-ounce
package of thin spaghetti for 10
minutes. Blanch, add one-half of
the sauce, and small amount of
mild cheese If desired. Bring to
boil. "a small amount OF water may
be added If the spaghetti seems too
thick.
Omelette-Use two eggs per per-
son. Separate the whites, beating
these until almost stiff. Fold in
yolks. Pour into hot, creased skillet
and cook over low fire until slightly
brown on the bottom. Turn and
cook until firm. Spread half of the
remaining sauce on half of the

= Chicken Chat
By Arfhnr Fl. Denfe

My boyhood days were spent in
Oregon. Washington and California.
And my earliest cooking training
came, when. as the self-chosen and
duly-appointed cook of small boys
camping club, I picked up western
culinary lore from a retired cow
puncher and cavalry sergeant by
the name of James Tanning. This
retired gentleman claimed to be the
champion mulligan maker OF the
Far West. His recipe for a mulligan
was to take what happened to be
at hand, tess it all into a pot or
kettle and let nature take It's course.
When the chicken, or maybe
chickens, were on hand, one of his
favorite concoctions was his Arizona
chicken mulligan, which he claimed
was the special favorite OF the old

In these days when athletic, golf
and other recreation clubs are find-
ing a great falling off in MEMBER
ship. 1t is possible that some mern-
bers are taking setting up exercises
at home. Unfortunately, most Of
them are not.
Daily exercise will increase eff
cheney and reduce the number OF
absences from work. A person who
gets enough exercise to keep him fit
is happier and more interested In
his work.

In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord.

While the basic principles of con-
tract bridge remain substantially
unchanged, experts from time to
time devise improved methods of
bidding and playing which add to
the prospect of success. This is
particularly true with regard to bid
ding, which is a highly important
part of the game. 1t is more so when
the partnership is seeking to reach
slam contract
The latest innovation in this re-
spect is the Albus slam convention.
an amplification of the Blackwood
convention with stop" and "go''
signals enabling the prospective
declarer to determine whether it is
safe to try for a grand slam or a
small slam, or whether he should
be content to stop at a bid of five.
Properly applied, it affords oppor-
tunity for results not otherwise at
tainable. The basis of the conven-
ton, after the partnership has de-
termined the suit of no-trump in
which the contract is to be played,
is an artificial club bid which asks
for aces and kings.
1t was devised by Frank j. Albus,
Washington attorney, member of the
National Press Club and student of
the game, and is here published for
the first time:
The 4-club bid-The basis of the
convention is that the partnership
has no normal 4-club bid except in
the case where 4 clubs is obviously a
defensive bid over 3 bid by the
opponents. In all other cases, the
4-club bid is an artificial bid ask
ing for aces.
The response to 4 clubs With
no aces, the response of the part
ner Is diamonds; with one ace, the
response is hearts; with two aces,
the response is 4 spades, and with
3 aces. 4 no-trump.
The 5-club bid-If, after getting
the information regarding aces, the
inquiring partner bids 5 clubs, he
Is asking partner for kings.
The response to ) clubs-With no
