idiomatic and highly colloquial. But
so is the informal speech of the
average American. The comics
would lose their tremendous follow
ings If the characters talked like
books.
For that matter, this column would
defeat its own purpose if it used
stilted, overprecise, schoolmasterish
language. I suppose I know as many
bombastic words and Latinized
grammatical terms as the college
professors. But PROFESSIONAL Ian
guage is not for this modest word
feature.
If I am to help my readers i'm
prove their speech and English, I
must use familiar, simple, and COL
loquial language, which, after all.
is the best possible language any one
can use.
But, unfortunately. the professors
who write textbooks have never
found out that you cannot teach if
you employ language that is so much
Greek. They write, I am sure, only
to impress other professors, and not
to bring easy-to-grasp instruction
to people who need it.

Opening lead, five of hearts.
One of the banes of a defenders
existence is the partner who is
always blocking his suit, particu-
larly at no-trump. Ordinarily just
a little bit of thought is required
to prevent the occurrence of this
embarrassing bottleneck, but some
times great care is required and
occasionally bit OF foresight.
In today's hand South became de-
clarer at a contract of three no.
trump. With all hands exposed to
view it is evident that a five
diamond contract would be much
safer. In fact a slam in the minor
suit depended on not much more
than the club f1nesse. In the bid
ding, however, it was not so easy
to visualize the situation.
When North was able to give only
a single raise South decided to
abandon any hope for an ll-trick
game. If North's spades and hearts
happened to be interchanged there
would be no reasonable play for
five diamonds, and yet three no.
trump would be virtual laydown.
Perhaps little patience on the part
OF South, during which time he
might take pains to describe his
entire hand, would have made it
clear that the hearts were a weak
spot In the no-trump.
The five of hearts was opened and
East's jack went to declarer's ace.
Declarer found himself with only
seven running tricks, inaSmuch as
the immediate establishment of the
hearts precluded his cashing of a
spade trick. 1t appeared, therefore,
that the success of the contract
would depend upon the club fnesse.
This was depressing thought be-
cause If the club fnesse succeeded
slam in diamonds was there and
II 1t failed the three no-trump con-
tract was apparently doomed. How
ever, there was nothing to do about
1t but try.
Inc ace OF diamonds brought no
news, but on the queen of diamonds
East showed out, discarding the
queen of hearts. 1t had been de-
clarer's intention to win the third
diamond in dummy and try the club
anesse, retaining the fourth dia-
mond for a further entry, to repeat
the hnesse if it proved successful.
But East's peculiar discard set him
to thinking. What was East about?
Surely he was not pinched for a
discard this early in the play. Could
1t be that he had the heart suit
blocked for partner and was trying
to get out of the way? This seemed
plausible. If that were the case
1t would be fatal to lead one more
diamond and permit him to discard
the king of hearts.
So reasoning, declarer Immediate
ly led a spade. When West was in
with the ace there was nothing he
could do but continue with the
hearts and East won with the king.
but the suit was hopelessly blocked.

Says

Here are some more of the game
recipes I promised you last week.
Today we'll see what can be done
with bag" containing wood
pigeons and doves. The pigeons are
apt to be tough, unless fairly young,
so they require long, moist cookery.
Doves are delicious, although I al
ways feel guilty about killing them
they have been for so long the
symbol of peace and nonviolence!
First, the pigeons. I like very
much casserole of wood pigeons
done with tomatoes. Pick, SINCE and
clean we'll 4 young pigeons and
stuff each one with small onion
stuck with 2 cloves. Try out 6
slices of bacon and cut them in
pieces. Brown the birds in the
bacon drippings and then put them
in a deep casserole with the bits of
bacon, l medium onion, chopped, a
cup of sliced mushrooms, the con-
tents of number 2 can of Italian
type tomatoes. little thyme and a
little basil. Salt and pepper to
taste. Cover the casserole and
simmer it in a moderate oven for
about an hour and a half or until
the birds are tender.
You can vary the above by doing
this: After the pigeons are Drowned
and tucked in the casserole, add to
them salt and pepper, little mar
joram and thyme, plus Il cup of
dry white wine. Cook in a moderate
oven for one hour. Meanwhile,
drain quart Of sauerkraut and put
it in a Kettle with 4 tart apples,
peeled and cut in quarters, and
cup of the white wine. Simmer for
half an hour. At the end of the
hour, take the casserole from the
oven and put the simmered sauer-
kraut around the birds. Recover
the casserole and return to the
oven for another hour or until the
birds are tender. You can add more
wine II 1t SINNERS away.

Something new has been added in
furniture merchandising and it may
be the something you have been
looking for all along. Because at
last furniture manufacturer is CO.
operating with a local store in ad-
mitting that you don't have to
scrap all Of your old furniture every
time you buy few new pieces. Be-
sides that, families change size, or
move to larger quarters where addi-
tional pieces are needed and then,
too, the lady of the house is always
shifting things around for variety,
so flexible" furniture should be
considered.
This is an open-stock contempo-
rary design, in light-colored silver
elm and beechwood. 1t should mix
graciously with any period in any
architectural style. It is recon-
mended that you buy it a few pieces
at time, as your budget permits
and your needs demand. The theme
of the manufacturer is add new
pieces, subtract misfits, multiply
convenience, divide for new combi-
nations" Many of the pieces Of
this line of furniture serve equally
well in the living room, dining room
or bedroom. All cabinet pieces have
matching tops, so they can be ar
ranged in rows to fit individual floor
plans. Other pieces can be stacked
one on t0n NJ the other for eytro
height.

New Furniture Idea

From the standpoint Of house,
keeping you will find that the light
colored woods are easier to keep
clean than the darker variety. Also
if you have children you may find
dark woods troublesome, because
they show scratches and scuff marks
much more quickly.
Going back to the contrast in
periods and colors, the above pic
ture offers a good example. We see
here white woodwork, wrought-iron
hinges and Colonial accessories con-
trasted with the purposeful con-
temporary lines of the furniture.
There Is color contrast in the room,
too, the contrast of silver elm and
beechwood with the dark tones of
the wall.
AS an interesting example of an
individual piece of this new furni-
ture line note the serving cart in
the upper left corner. 1t is designed
for usefulness as well as beauty. It
will fit in nicely with modern as
well as period furniture and its
shortened wheelbase makes it easy
to maneuver in small areas.
This furniture has just recently
been stocked by local store, SO if
you're in need of an additional
chair, table or cabinet, or If you and
the new husband are just planning
the household Furnishings you might
be interested In viewing this WELL
designed line.

these should be made the same day

Few drops flavoring oil.
Insert skewer in blossom end Of
the f1attened, rounded fig. Measure
sugar into saucepan; add corn sirup
and water. Cook, stirring only until
sugar is dissolved. Continue cook
ing without stirring until tempera-
ture of 300 degrees is reached, or
until the candy is brittle when
dropped into cold water. AS the
slrup cooks down, lower tempera-
ture so that it will not darken.
When done, remove from heat, add
favoring. Hold fig by the skeWer,
then plunge it into the hot sirup.
Coat quickly but thoroughly, then
remove it from sirup and twirl it
until fig is we'll coated and sirup
begins to set slightly. Then prop
it up in vase, rack or flower frog

Halloween Fun

This is a new variation Of your
old friend the candy coated apple.
The idea is fundamentally the same,
but this time we use a different
fruit and clothe it in Halloween at
tire to make novel confection that
is as good as it is pretty. To make
these "Spooks" you will need plenty
of large, pliable California dried
figs; supply of wooden skewers; a
kettle of hot taffy sirup; your last
summers flower frog for the gob-
Inns to stand in while the sirup is
drying; colored napkins to create
the skirts or broom effects which
your spooks will wear. Facial fea-
lures may be drawn on with a stiff

outfit. Here is your chance to
bring out all the hidden talents you
feel you have as dress designer.
When it comes to entertainment
the good old standbys such as duck
ing for apples or pinning the tail

ers. But for real "spooky" climax
to your party have each guest tell

floating through the dimmed- -out

Because Halloween is one of those
simple old-time holidays, refresh
ments should be in character. No
fuss, no elaborate preparations for
this party, the easiest is the best

COUNSELING. CENTER.

(From Miss G. T., WGshington.)
This is to add more information
10 the letter Mrs. E. A., Cheverly,
wrote to your column about the
Washington Counseling Center.
The center will test groups of five
people or more (nonveterans) at
$40 each. This consists of being
counseled by one of their competent
counselors, taking the series Of tests
prescribed by the counselor. and
then discussing the results of the
tests with the counselor. This is all
done on an individual basis and
the counselors take their time with
the counSelee, answering any ques-
tions and helping to solve any prob
lens pertaining to the outcome Of
their tests.
The fee for an individual who is
not veteran. not a student of
G. W., and not part of a group
would be $40.
This service has been found to
be extremely helpful to teen-agers
in their senior year at high school.
The counselors help them decide
what college to go to or what voca-
ton to follow, what their abilities
and interests are. Parents may also
consult the counselor about the re-
suits Of their childrens tests.
The phone number of the center
Is National 5000, extension 335.
