FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

REFORM: At a party one
night, Supreme Court Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes was cor
nered by his hostess. a garrulou'
woman. Words tumbled from
her lips with such steady power
that the jurist did not have q
chance to dissent.
After an hour of uninterrupted
chatter, she said:
Did you know that we caught
q burglar here last night, Mr.
Justice? We turned him over to
the police"
Holmes, sensing that a spoken
answer was hardly expected oil
him. nodded disinterestedly.
This morning." she continued
IT felt sorry for the man. I de-
cided to go to the Jail and talk
to him to show him the error
of his ways. My husband
wouldn't let me CO."
He says 1t would do no good,
she said. He says that no mat
ter what I said, the man would
not see the light. But I still
think I could convince him that
crime doesn't pay. What do you

A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Gary: What is the difference
between the words subtle" and
"subtile"?. And how do you pro-
nounee them?
A. They are interchangeable
in meaning, but they differ in
pronunciation. In subtle, the "b"
is always silent, thus: SUH-tl.
In subtitle, the ID" is sounded, as:
SUB-till. However, some die
tionaries show as second choice:
SUH-tl.
Houston: Are not the words
madam" and madame" pro-
nounced the same?
A. They are not. Madam is
the English form, and is pro-
nounced: MAD-um. Madame is
the French and European form,
and is pronounced: MADAM,
with both "a's" fiat as in dam,
ham. Never use the beauty par
lor pronunciation "muh-DOM."
Denver: We are undecided
where to say a "photostat copy
or "a photostatic copy" We
can't find "photostatic" in the
dictionary.
A. The correct adjective is
"photostatic" -photostatic copy.
You'll find it in the more recent
dictionaries.
Norfolk: I'm completely baffled
by such sentences as. HE is one
Of the boys who (has? have?)
excelled.
"A. The zone Of" construction
often stumps the experts. for we
become hypnotized by the word
"one." If we rearrange the SEN
tence, we see that the subordi-
nate clause must be in the plural:
OF the boys who have excelled,
he is one. Correct: She is one
Of those girls who are attractive
to men. It is one Of those prob
lens that defy solution.

1dSS - All pass
Mr.. Champion was on lead
and, not wishing to lead away
from any of his honors in spades,
hearts and diamonds, he opened
his fourth highest club. the trey.
The five was played from dummy
and it was up to Mr.. Muzzy.
Without hesitation he went in
with the ace.
Mr.. Dale took the heart re-
turn with dummy's ace, led a
spade to his ace and cashed the
queen of clubs. Now he went
to dummy with the ace of dia-
monds. led the king of clubs
and discarded his heart loser.
Thus he lost only one club and
two spades, making game and
rubber.
Mr.. Champion looked very
grim when he realized what had
happened. why didn't you play
the ten of clubs on the first
trick?" he asked Mr.. Muzzy
when the hand was over. Then
we would have won a club, a
heart and two spades"
AS you can see, Mr.. Cham
pion's analysis was correct. Mr..
Muzzy claimed he went up with
the ace of clubs because he was
afraid Mr.. Dale might have the
singleton queen. But, as Mr..
Champion pointed out, the rule
of eleven proves that to be i'm
possible.
Applying the rule. Mr.. Muzzy
should have deducted three (the
number of the card led) from
eleven. The resulting figure
(eight) represents the number
of clubs higher than the trey.
outside of Mr.. Champions hand.
Now, six clubs higher than the
trey were in Mr.. Muzzy's hand
and the dummy. So Mr.. Dale
must have two clubs higher than
the trey.
That was all Mr.. Muzzy needed
to know. If he had played his
ten of clubs at trick one, Mr..
Dale would have had no place
to park his losing heart.
AS last desperate attempt at
an alibi, Mr.. Muzzy argued that
his partners trey of clubs lead
might have been a singleton in
which case the play of the ace
and an immediate club return
might have been the only way
to defeat the contract.
Nobody believes that" said
Mr.. Champion hastily. "You
didn't return a club at trick two.
did you? And besides, if I had
one club. then Dale had six,
and he would have bid clubs
somewhere along the line"

CoIorie
Shedding
Ideas

Holidays are hard on calorie
counters. Too many succumb to
too many rich foods-than sub
sist, unhappily. on black coffee
for the month Of January. This
is bad for the health. worse for
the disposition.
There's a compromise way,
however. This year, If you're
watching your weight. present
1.-THE traditional groaning board.
but cut out some Of the creamy
sauces. rich gravies, sweet jams
land rich pastries. A little fore
thought can cut calories in hard
lily perceptible ways.
With the current emphasis on
health and nutrition, food man
Iufacturers are producing more
and more really good low -calorie
foods. Watch your supermarket
dietetic shelves-youll think OF
many ways to fit these foods into
menus.
Here are some calorie shedding
ideas for your New Years feast.
Serve the traditional cram
berry at the beginning Of the
lmeal-in a glass. Heat cram
berry juice briefly with just a
dash Of cloves and a stick of Gin
Inamon. Chill, and serve in tall
GLASSES. Float paper-thin slice
of lime in the glass for taste and
eye appeal.
Heap the relish dish with crisp
celery. picked beets, dill pickle
sticks. cauliflowerettes, radishes
and onions. Offer two salads, one
of shredded cabbage and carrot
mixed with raisins and dietetic
mayonnaise; the other simply
rings Of orange, tomato and
onion with French diet dressing.
For the hot dishes, remember
to forget the gallons of melted
butter and cream sauces that
add calories SO fast. Serve broc-
coli with dietetic mayonnaise in
stead of hollandaise. Sauce green
beans with minced onion and
prepared mustard mixed in a
little Juice from the beans. Bake
acron squash lightly brushed
with milk. Make a casserole of
artichoke flour noodles laced
with mushrooms; give it a swift
busting Of garlic powder. and
you have dish to rival mashed
potatoes and gravy any old day.
Bring piping hot bran muf-
fins to the table, and place them
alongside an assortment Of low
Icalorie jams and jellies-you'll
need a runner to keep the basket
filled.
For dessert, stick to tradition
-mincemeat. But with a diff
ference! Leave off the pastry,
and half the calories disappear
too. The trick is to serve the
mincemeat in gelatin, either I'M
lflavored (use apple juice for the
liquid instead of water) or any
of the favored low-calorie gela-
tins. This is a delicious dessert,
Just right after a hearty meal.
Mincemeat Gelatin Mold
Add a package Of dry mince-
meat to Ia cups of hot water,
and let the mincemeat soften.
Meanwhile, dissolve a package
of dietetic lemon gelatin in ia
cups hot water. When mince-
meat is soft, combine the two.
Turn into a mold and chill until
lset. Unmold on a platter and
garnish with stiffly beaten egg
white. Serves 6.
