no use evading the fact that bee fore 1943 is over, everything from @ lamb chop to grandma's new cha peau will be rationed This means, in many cases, that the whole pro- cess of shopping will have to change and Americans will have to learn a completely new method of evalu- ating foods and other rationed goods. There will still be the old value of price in relation to qual. ity. But there'll be a brand-new kind of value, too-value in terms of ration book coupons.
 In some ways, shopping will be lot easier-for there'll be grad ing and correct labelling on all ar- ticles and fixed quality standards will be fixed quality standards will be applied to goods at fixed prices. It will also be easier to make up your mind.
 In fact, it will largely be made up for you There won't be dozen different kinds of frying pans, for example, from which to choose. You'll consider yourself lucky if you can find one-even if it's not exact- ly what you set out to buy.
 Therell be fewer speciality shops and whole departments in some large stores will be reduced to one or two counters. This is because we've been living on the fiat" of reserve stocks, accumulated during the pre-restric- tion days. That fiat" is just about eaten up, and the lean days will soon be upon us.
 Hardware stores and toy shops will either close or switch to other merchandise using lon-priority ma terials. The cafeteria type of shop. ping, where yeN collect your own merchandise without the help of salespeople, will become increasingly popular because of growing man and woman power shortages. And you'll be asked to carry home all purchases except really heavy goods.
 The WIPE Is working on @ new Inventory Control order which will mean much to the small town shopper. The Inventory Control order will make for wider and more even distribution of goods. How far it will go is unknown, but some of the large stocks held by big-time department stores may be reallocat- cd so that the little shop owner will get a look in, as well.
 Add some of these factors up- and you get a pretty sad picture of shopping during 1943-without even thinking about the main- spring of any shopping tour-money.

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Very little has been written about deception plays. About the best known play made to deceive is the false card, and it is used too much by inexperienced players. A false card, like 8 bluff in poker, is most effective when it comes after a long period of honesty. As Charles H Goren says in his new book, Tt Is very unprofitable to get yourself spotted as a notorious false-carder. '
 But a well-planned false card may completely confuse an opponent. The example shown was executed by Albert H. Morehead.
 With the West hand, Morehead opened the ace of spades, conceal ing the king, to get look at dun- my. That was 9 minor false card.
 When East followed with the spade two, Morehead led the dia- inond nine, brilliant conception Dummy played the queen, East the king, and this West was sure of a trick with the tenspot.
 Morehead counted his side could win only one spade and two clubs unless East held 8 diamond honor as good as the king. But his king could be only orlce-guarded and would fall when declarer played the suit in the only feasible way.
 By leading the diamond nine Morehead gave South the idea that East held K 10 x in diamonds, in which case covering with the queen was essential to prepare for later finesse against East's ten-spot.

 Though you wear a formal eve ming gown less often than before the war. you should still keep a trick or two of evening makeup in your bag.
 They enable many 8 girl who hasn't flawless features to be the belle of the evening especially the evening during which the girls dancing with men in uniform are dressed in modest little soft suits that give the spotlight to the pretty face.
 Eye makeup, best known evening artifice, can be used to advantage by every woman. Apply your mas cara to lashes elnphatically; 1t is accepted and 1t does provide extra sparkle, unless you put on 50 much that it calls attention to the makeup instead of the eye. Use eye shadow also, to make your eyes look larger. X Light and shade tricks that merit more attention are those which en- able you to play up or play down other features chin, rose, cheek bones. These are done with founda- ton film or cream of three shades, one matching your own skin, arl- other which is lighter, and g third which is about three shades darker.
 If you're tarassed by having too little chin, for instance, you can practically eliminate that fact from the beholder's attention by using lighter-than-skn foundation on it.. This highMghts, or makes more prominent, the feature 1t covers. A dark shade does the opposite.
 If you want to conceal a double chin, therefore. you first put the matching foundation over the face, throat and forehead, then carefully blend the darkest shade over the double chin, and apply a speck of the lightest shade to each cheek bone.
 Success with this elaborate make. ppj job requires practice and time, of course, but it's worthwhile.

Are you getting discouraged about the meat situation? There's MW need to be for there are several meats that are not on the rationed list, and that are delicious if you know how to cook them. If your fxnarket man doesn't carry these meats, ask him to. He will be glad to ret them for you if he knows you really want them.
 Sweet Breads
 The first thing about them as you know, is that you buy them in pairs. Wash them and put them in cold water for about 2 hours. The next step is to blanch then in salted water for not more than 10 minutes. When you take them out Co drain, remove the membranes and press the sweet breads under a plate that has a weight on it. Flour them lightly and cook them very gently in a little butter until they are tender and a golden amber on all sides. Sprinkle with lemon juice, black pepper, and Rarnish with parsley or water eress.
 Sweetbreads are not on the meat xationing lists and neither is fillet of fish-but if you really want a marvellous meal how about trying both of them together? The idea is simple to carry out and needs but little cooking skill. Simply cook the sweetbreads as we have suggested by soaking them, drain ing, blanching them for ten min utes, removing the membranes and pressing under a weighted plate then Touring them and cook ing them very lightly until they are a golden brown.
 At the same time be lightly boil ing some fillets of founder, in as little water as you can possibly boil them in. And the reason for this is that you want to get some nice broth out of the fish because you are going to combine some of the broth with the buttery fat in the pan in which you sauteed the sweetbreads. Add some four to Chicken it and 8 little sherry cook ing wine if you have it plus some salt and pepper Go taste.
 This win be poured over the lillet which will be in the center of the serving platter and the sweet breads that you can surround the fish with attractively. Lots of people roll up the fillets in serving portions and boil them that way after they have tied them together with c piece of string. Don't for. ret to put . little lemon juice in The water before you start cooking tho fish. It not only havors the Ssh but it helps to hold the fish lOgether.

 So, having to depend on each other for transportation isn't al- ways Che hardship 1t might seem. Not if people go about the busi- ness of sharing their cars and accepting rides from other people in a ''lets get some fun out of this'' spirit.
 BET SHE WAS ON TIME
 Americans have always hated the thought of being dependent on anyone for anything. And yet when We find we are, we discover 1t isn't bad at all. Having to share and ac- cept others sharing with us drawN us closer to each other, makes us friendlier, more thoughtful people.
 Of course, the car-sharing could result in hard feelings instead of friendship and love. For instance. 1t is safe to get that the young lady who married the young man who took her to work each morn. ing never made him late to his own job by keeping him waiting.

real treasures and some of the old est ones are especially valuable now that sugar is less easy to get than usual.
 When you serve cream with your buildings and dumplings, did you ever grate up some maple sugar and stir that into the cream with a lit0e nutmeg for that extra some thing? This is a delicious pudding sauce and an old one. Now if you'd like a really old-time dessert to serve this with, why not make an old-fashioned Apple Roly Poly?
 Apple Roly Poly
 Make a very short biscuit dough and roll it to about T. inch thick ness. Mix 3s cup of sugar with % teaspoon of cinnamon, and spread this over the dough. Cover all this generously with finely sliced peeled and cored apples. Roll it up like a jelly roll and cut in 2 inch slices and place slices in a baking pan. Glaze the top of the rolls with a fine coating of honey and dab on little butter. Bake for half an hour in a moderate oven.
 How about a cake that our grandmothers used to make? They carried this recipe around mostly in the back of their minds but one day a clever person followed a lady around one day and watched her make Maple Sugar Gingerbread. The result is good enough to make history. Serve this to your family some cold night and sit back and be proud of the compliments.
 Sift 1 teaspoon ginger, 1s tea- spoon salt, and 1 teaspoon soda with 2 cups flour. Mix one beaten egg, l cup sour cream or top milk and cup maple sugar. Combine the two mixtures and bake in a moderate oven until done. You can test it with a clean straw or listen to 1t sing. We cannot give a bak- ing time on this as it varies with the size of the pan used.
 Those old recipes are family treasures; but don't forget that there are a lot of good things being dreamed up every day. One of our most modern offerings is q Cocoa nut Soutfle that uses absolutely no sugar. Don't let the idea of Q souffie frighten you. This one is easy to make and we have never seen 1t fail yet.
