Whot When
By GAYNoR MADDOX kEA Staff Writer

It's going to be an old-fashioned Christmas week, so. get together old-fashioned recipes. The young sters of all ages like gingerbread men, lots of fudge icing on cakes, and good warming beverages to drink. Let's take a look:
 Special Dough for Gingerbread
 Men
 (Yield: dozen cookies l-2 inches
 in diameter)
 One-half cup shortening, 1-2 cup sugar, 3-4 cup unsulphured mo- lasses, l egg, 3 cups sifted en- riched flour, teaspoon salt, 1 1-2 teaspoons ginger, 1-2 teaspoon nut meg, 1-2 teaspoon cloves, teaspoon cinnamon, teaspoon soda, 1-2 tea spoon baking powder.
 Cream shortening, sugar and molasses together. Beat in egg. Mix and sift flour, salt, spices, soda and baking powder. Add gradually to creamed shortening mixture. Mix well. Chill for about an hour to increase the ease in handling. Roll on four board until Ia inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters in desired shapes.

Any girl who gnashes her teeth at current fashions, because she can't close a wee-waisted dress, needs to whittle down her mid-sec- tion. You can't change fashions, but you can change your figure with exercise.
 There are two routines-you can thank Evelyn ("Al Jolson Story'D Reyes for these-which will take a reef in your waistline, and at the same time build a muscular girdle that helps keep your figure proudly erect.
 If you're all set, lie flat on your back on the floor For the first exercise, fiex knees, keep soles of feet fiat on the floor, and dig into floor with the small of your back. Now push up and draw in abdom- inal muscles, and keep them con- tracted as long as you can. Relax and repeat.

HOLLY AND PINE
(Mario Speracio in the New Yorl
 Times)

December, growing older, will re-
 Sume Acquaintance with the snow upon
 the plains. Our mood is pine and holly, and the
 room Invites familiar warmth of old
 refrainS. And memories, like doves, will brush
 the skies While bright, exultant praises fill
 the voices. This is the Lords day, lucid in our
 eyes, The hour appointed when the
 heart rejoices. The very season finds the mind
 replete With bygone Christmas days and
 joys they brought. o make this feast of angels more
 complete, Let peace be foremost in a sol-
 dier's thought! For while the years will winter at
 they wing, Like wireless, love can cross the
 foam. The thought of peace is like recur-
 ring spring; The gift of Peace befits our men
 at home. Galveston. Tex, lies mainly on an island which is connected to the mainland by a 12,642-foot concrete causway.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I would like your opinion on the fol- lowing matter: I have habit of being friendly with almost every body. When waiting for bus or walking along the street I'll talk with anybody, man or woman, and my manner Is the same toward both I even talk with the bus driver if he is good-humored Sometimes these conversations are serious, but mostly in joyful manner.
 I am married and have two chii- dren, and love them and my hlls- band, too. So you see am not look ing for a man. Yet nine out of 10 of the men talk with ask me for a date. I tell all of them the same thing-that I am married and have had a standing date for II years. Some are persistent, but most sen sible men respect me more for not making date.
 Some of the people I've talked with I never see again, so am not looking for friends, either. have my fair share of friends and rela- tives. My sisters say shouldn't be so friendly, but I can't help it. I figure all are my friends until they prove themselves otherwise. can talk to my husband about some of these conversations; even tell him about being asked for dates-and he doesn't mind, as he knows I don't make any.
 However, he does say that I can't be as friendly with men as with women, because men get the wrong impression. Others in my family say, You can't be friendly with everybody" I have never got into any trouble and now I want you to tell me if I should continue in my own way, being friendly, as I mean no harm, Or should I change? I am 29.

I'M.
LOOSE TONGUE MAKES TROUBLE

DEAR T. M: It is my impression that you talk too much. Much too much. This I gather from the fact that you not only gabble constant ly when on the wing, using the ear of any obliging passerby as a sounding board; but what is worse and more, then go home to rehash these futile dialogues to the fam fly.
 If you didn't talk so much about how much you talk-you follow, I hope?-yeur family would be none the wiser about your waste of breath on garrulous or scheming strangers; and hence would not be taking you to task about it. So there is proof, right off, that ycu do dig pits for yourself with your tongue.
 Also, this occurs to me: If your conversational gambits into un- known ears were an artless mani festation of bubbling interest in the human scene, I doubt that you would be so archly self-conscious about the ii1annerism. You would be scarcely aware of chattering like magpie to all and sundry as you come and go.
 Furthermore, I think your ex- pansive approach to Tom, Dick and Harry does have notwithstanding motives behind it-that you don't recognize, probably. If your affable air with strangers reflected an out pouring of Christian goodwill and nothing more, think you would haze. SuIcered quite jolt the sec- ond oE third time-if not the first that strange man joshed you as pickup material; and would have fetired into reserve toward the male

Gong DolDr, Three Wins This Match
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

In duplicate bridge, there is one angle that is entirely different from rubber bridge. If you are in a game contract at rubber bridge, you take any chance there is to make it. What is the difference if you go down an extra trick or two, if you have a chance to make game? You stand to win much more than you have to lose, especially if you are not doubled. In tournament bridge, and especially in team of -four play, you may realize when the dummy goes down that you are in a bad contract, but you know that, in all probability, many more pairs will be in the same contract.
 Today'S hand came up at a re- cent tournament at Easton, Pa. The line of play decided upon by Mrs. Adelaide Neuwirth of New York gave her team the match. Her con- tract was three no trump. She won the opening diamond lead with the queen and immediately caShed her four spade tricks. The natural play at this point is the finesse of the club. If the finesee works, declarer makes five no trump. If it does not work, she may not take any more tricks. Mrs. Neuwirth decided to try to win the match by going down three, SO she went up with the ace of clubs, and took only six tricks.
 If the fineSse had been taken, it would have failed. West held seven diamonds, so East and West would have cashed the balance of the tricks, setting Mrs. Neuwirth four.
