The play Of today's hand was a
struggle to keep the dangerous op-
ponent out Of the lead.
West opened the diamond five and
dummy's 10 won. Now a club lead
would risk letting East in to lead q
diamond; so South first went after
spades, In which suit only West
could get the lead. The spade nine
was led and finessed.
West took the spade king and led
heart, the nine, 10 and king being
played. Normally South might next
nave messed for the heart queen,
but again he was afraid of risking
East's getting in, so he led a heart
and put up the ace. The drop Of
the queen rewarded his caution.
South could now cash the heart
jack and lead q club. He got four
heart tricks, three spades, two dia.

I have used this recipe for a long

is preferable). Blend in f1avoring.

Mr.: B. Entertdiins-nt Duck Dinner

Mr.. B.. gourmet and amateur chef
rolled into one, was the happy recip-
lent Of four fine canvasback ducks
contributed by a duck hunting pal
whose sole string to the gift was
the stipulation that he be included
at the dinner at which the ducks
were to star. This dinner was TO be
a strictly stag affair-for the boys
contend that wild duck Is wasted
upon the fair sex. Women, they
firmly believe, prefer puddle duck,
complete with applesauce and green
peas.
So, this party was to be held ex-
clusively for connoiSseurS of game
and a guest was to have sole rights
to one whole duck all by himself.
This meant that after the breast
meat had been sliced daintily and
eaten with pleasure, the duck car
cases would be returned to the
table, gently warmed, and the diners
would proceed to pick the bones.
(And, dear ladies, if you have never
beheld this horrid but fascinating
sight, you have missed something
in the world of etiquette. II such
a feast should ever take place at
your home, I'd advise you to leave
the table after the carcaSses are set
in front of the gentlemen and retire
with your knitting to soundproof
room, prepared TO spend the rest of
the evening alone
The three friends whom MI. B.
greeted warmly were all pretty
opinionated about the time their
ducks should be cooked. Mr.. B.
solved the problem neatly. He had
his ducks all ready for the oven and
after inquiring about each indi-
vidual's preference as to its degrees
of rareneSs, he tagged each duck
with the little numbers used for
marking glasses of drinks, 2, 3
and 4-and assigned a name to
each number on a slip of paper
with the length of cooking time
written alongside.
So, while the gentlemen were en-
joying their aperitifs in the living
room, their host started heating his
oven good and hot. The ducks had
been plucked carefully, cleaned,
drawn and stuffed lightly with
small peeled onion and sprig of eel
cry apiece. (No fancy stufflng here

DoneWith Mirrors
By Dorothy Bihlman

Mirrors can lend q bit Of sparkle
to every room In your home. They
not only reflect light and color, but
often are used to make q room look
larger. All this, Of course, Is in adj
dition to the fact milady must have
a large, clear mirror In which to see
II her nose needs powdering.
Let's go back to that angle Of using
mirrors to increase the apparent
size of room. For instance, suppose
your living room has set Of two or
three windows which are too far
apart to be draped as one, yet are
too close together to be draped In
dividually without giving the ap-
pearance Of "hodge-podge." The
clever decorator would 'tie these in"
with mirror strips-that is, a panel
Of mirror glass stretching from cefl-
ing to Dashboard. This somehow
gives an elegance to the room that
a painted or papered wall space does
not. With this you use a single pair
of draperies with a valance running
the whole width of the window. II
you're fortunate, and have solid
wall opposite your window, by all
means hang one large oval or square
mirror there, then notice the illusion
of space the reflection gives. This
idea can be carried out just as well
in the bedroom as. In the living
room.
An old bureau or implanted table
may become a handsome dressing
table with little cost, If you top 1t
with mirror and place an unusual
one above it. The latter could be
one Of those good looking twisted
lucite framed affairs. A frilly or
CANDY ON taffeta skirt would COM
plete the feminine appearance.
Several places around town will
"rejuvenate" your old coffee or
cocktail table by replacing the
marred glass center with new mir
ror glass in either onyx, blue or a
luscious shade of amber. You might
also consider having an occasional
table topped with matching COL
ored mirror, but we want to warn
you that even with mirrors that the
old saying too little is better than
too much" holds true.
With Christmas in mind, we in
quired around as to mirrored &C
cessories which would not be too
expensive. yet make dream" gifts.
An outstanding item in this line is q
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-12-04

smart dresser tray. Many styles
are on display-oblong, square, oval,
some with the twisted lucite frames,
others decorated with frosted glass
side pieces which are attached with
screws (for easy removal when
cleaning.
Then, as we mentioned In a recent
column, there are those smart waste
baskets" of mirror that may be
further enhanced by having the re-
cipient's initials attached. Cleans
ing tissue boxes patterned along this
line can also be obtained and make
ideal gifts.
Several shops around town have
a supply of small individual match
boxes. These come in sets of six or
eight, are made of colored glass
with floral designs on top.
Although mirrored articles can be
sectEed today, in general they are
still to be considered on the scarce"
list. And, of course, they are more
expensive than In prewar days If
for either of these reasons you pre-
fer not to buy new items, remember
there are lots of ways to make your
own gadgets from those outmoded
ones you have stored in the attic.
All you need is little ingenuity,
patience and glass cutter.

and certainly none of that dread
full procedure of soaking the ducks
or boiling them to remove the
gamey favor" Why eat game If one
doesn't like the taSte?)
When the oven was at just the
right temperature. in went duck
number one that was scheduled for
20 minutes cooking. Five minutes
later. in went two and three-both
destined to roast for Is minutes.
Last, of course, Mr.. B. tucked num-
Der four-his own-in to cook. He
was of the hardest of all hardy
duck-eating schools-his canvas
back was allowed just IL minutes
and no morel
While all this was going on, sub
stantial gains were being made on
the aperitifs and, the bowl of crisp,
raw, salted vegetables that accom-
panied them. No heavy starters for
a duck dinner! When time was
called on the ducks, the diners set
tied themselves around the table,
armed with sharp-pointed steel
for game. And in
came the ducks, each done ex-
actly as it's possessor ordered COM
pleted with pan juices enriched by
the pureed duck giblets and the
blood from the carving.

I have a recipe for peanut butter
cookies which I think answers the
