WOMAN’S PAGE. Scorched, Unburned Vegetables BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Every housewife, however practiced @nd competent, occasionally has the misfortune to have food stick when be! cooked. The experienced know Which will be ruined by the slightest taint of scorch and which will not, and also what can be done to keep at least part of the food edible.. In discussing the matter it will be seen that burnt food is not under consideration, but that which is slightly scorched only or which has a thin layer at the bottom of 8 kettle really burnt. In the latter case $he burning must be detected so quickly that the odor of it has not permeated the food. Among the vegetables which can be REMOVE THE SAUCEPAN IMMEDI- ATELY FROM THE FIRE, scorched a good deal without impairing their flavor are carrots and onions. In- stead of considering them scorched, count them as braised. Then the idea is changed, for braised carrots and braised onions are delicious. A slightly sweet flavor is thus extracted. Remove the vegetables from the kettle imme- ly, unless they have just begun to stick when discovered. See that they are merely browned and _not blackened. Probably théy were dofie before they claims to be the only girl grave digger in ways of France are muc! dish, cover and keep warm. The onions can have.a little milk poured over them, salt” and pepper sprinkled through them, and be dotted with butter before placing in the oven. They will be found delicate and deli- clous, The carrots can' have s small quaptity of caramel sauce made and poured oyer them, be dotted with but- ter, and then put into the oven to get thoroughly marinated with the sauce. The braising will have improved rather than harmed them. Beets, since they are boiled in their skins, can be restored to goodness or be freed from the scorched places without harm. Plunge the beets immediately into cold water and squeeze off the skins, which slip off readily without scalding the hands. If the beets are not | quite tender, they will have to be cooked further without their skins, and so must be expected to be light colored. when served. Rice sticks easily if it is cooked in a small amount of water. As it con- sists of separate grains, the lower layer can get scorched without spoiling the entire kettleful. ‘To preserve the good part, drain off the water and the rice without allowing any of the scorched kernels to come out. Pour the good rice through a colander into a fresh pot of | water, and then through the colander again. This time put it into unnmer‘ kettle of rapidly boiling water and cook until tender. Season as usual with salt, pepper and butter and serve, and the | family will not be the wiser. Cut the scorched portions from pota- | toes and the good parts should not be tainted. If they are scorched slightly, they can be lyonnaized and the onion | will season the dish and quell the other flavor. But when potatoes or any food is badly burned the taint cannot be quelled. The food has to be thrown away. (Copyright, 1929.) DAILY DIET RECIPE RAISIN SPICE COOKIES. Sour cream, one-half cupful. Sugar, one-half cupful. , one. olasses, two and one-half tablespoonfuls.

JOHN MUNCE, JR. Continuing the discussion of the so- called “raise” bidding, we will now take up the question of what is required for third hand, dealer’s partner, to advance dealer's one no trump bid to two no trump, when second hand has passed, third hand has passed and fourth hand makes an intervening bid and the deal- er passes, in other words does not raise his. own bid. This indicates that dealer has 1ot sufficient strength in the suit bid by fourth hand to increase his own bid. Therefore, it is necessary for third hand to have the suit bid by fourth hand stopped twice, plus normal sSupport. That is, the hand should contain two tricks in the suit bid by opponent, plus two other tricks. To illustrate, dealer bids one no trump, se:ond and third hands pass, and fourth hand bids two clubs. ~ Dealer passes, second hand passes and third hand holds the follow- g: Spades—8, 6, 4. Hearts—Ace, jack, 7. Diamonds—King, ‘queen, 5 2. Clubs—King, jack, 7. In this hand we have two tricks in the suit bid by the opponents and a quick trick in the ace of hearts, as well as the king and queen of diamonds. If, in the situation we are discussing, the hand of the partner of the no trump bidder contains four tricks, without two in the intervening suit bid, he should double, asking his partner to bid his best suit. In actual play it often happens that third hand cannot give a definite raise o his partner’s no trump and dealer finds himself faced with the situation of having his bid of one no trump cov- gred by an intervening bid, and he himself has to determine whether he should increase his own bid or pass. If the intervening bidder is second hand, it does not necessarily mean that third hand, his partner, holds a worth- less hand because he did not raise his bid, but he may not have had sufficient. strength in the suit bid to raise him, or he may not have had the necessary requirements to double, not holding the three other suits stopped. There is always the chance that third hand con- tains very little strength, but usually this little strength, added to a strong holding by dealer, will make sufficient length and strength to make the addi- tional tricks required for dealer to ad- vance his own bid. 1t has been found by gxperience that the minimum which dealer should hold | to advance his own bid from one to two without assistance from his part- ner, and following an intervening bid, is six tricks in his own hand, with at least one certain trick in the suit bid by opponent. To {llustrate, dealer holds the following and bids one no trump: Spades—King, 8. Hearts—Ace, queen, 8, Diamonds—Queen, jack, 7, 5, 8. Clubs—Ace, King, 7. Second hand bids two hearts, third hand passes, fourth hand passes, and it is now back to the dealer to bid again. - With the above holding and hearts bid inst him, he would un- doubtedly raise his own bid of one no trump to two no trump, as he can readily see where he has six tricks in this hand, and any holding which his partner, third hand,- can give him, added. to this combination, would. be almost oertain to produce the two extra tricks which would be required to make the eight tricks bid.

P, GLASS. “HE_RAN SUDDENLY INTO A 1,0AVES, OFFERED HALF TO HIS FRIEND, AND ATE HALF HIMSELF.” As a youth Percy Byssche Shelley was passionately interested in electrical and chemical experiments. Among many doubters, he was one of the few who had the poetic vision to foresee the im- portance of chemistry in modern life. His eccentricities were so numerous and so enthusiastic that his own father thought of sending him to a madhouse, but Shelley's friend, Dr. Lind of Eton, successfully intervened. He was interested in occult matters, and performed all sorts of wild experi- ments in efforts to meet a ghost.

He would discourse in- coherently in his sleep at first, then slumber peacefully, then waken fully and plunge at once into some strenu- ous argument. He loved pistols and shooting at & mark. He was fond of bread. It was his main sustenance. Walking in London with an acquaintance, he ran suddenl; into & baker's shop, bought sever loaves, broke one in two, offered half to his friend—it was refused—and ate the other half himself. He almost al- ways had bread in his pockets. When he was studying there was sure to be a circle of crumbs around his chair. In the street he rolled bread into pellets and shot, them into people's faces. He insisted that his friend, Hogg, should try to fall in love with his sister, Elizabeth, and declered he wouldn't for- give him if he didn’t. BAKER'S SHOP, BOUGHT SEVERAL ‘THE OTHE!

(4) What styles of clothes will make me look stouter, as I am underweight? B. BOBBY, Answer—(1) Your coiffure should be gomewhat fluffy. The waves should be deep, rather than flat. Do not have a effect, of course. You might have a center part with a curl on your forehead. .Show the lobes of your ears. (2) The average weight for your and height is between 130 and 135 pounds. If, however, you are of a nat- urally slender build, ;our correct weight is probably below the figures given— say, at 125 pounds. If you are below that weight, however, you should try to build yourself up. (3) Use a little rouge and powder to take away the sallow appearance. There is no excuse for exhibiting & sallow skin these days. ‘The leading Fall colors seem to be dark browns and deep greens. both are be- coming to your type. Black and wine are also much used now, but they are not so flattering to your skin. You may wear cinnamon and Tudor browns, Holland and navy blue, terra cotta, Nile green, palm and English green, coral sand, tile green, peach, dull old rose, brownish reds, ecru, deep cream, eggshell, dull orchid, rust. (4) One way to make yourself look stouter is to wear plenty of underclothing. The present vogue for coat suits is flattering to your slender figure. Thick and rather stiff fabrics, like rough tweeds, velveteen and heavy satin, give the desired bulk to your igure. Choose skirts with flares, shir- ring, knife pleats all around or tiers of flounces, draped effects and groups of pleats. Yolk effects and berthas, round necklines and choker beads will help you look wider. LOIS LEEDS. Overweight in Youth, Dear Miss Leeds: I am 12 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall and weigh 116 pounds.

She knows that she wins hearts wherever she goes. Hollywood has found that it is only the girl with exquisite skin whose charm really wins and holds the great public. As Lewis Milestone, Paramount director, puts it: “‘Smooth, exquisite skin is more capti- vating than anything else about a girl. A screen star especially must have perfect skin —for the cleverest make-up can’t fake it under the fierce lights of the close-up. “The girls who have achieved stardom,” he - goes on to say, ‘‘though they differ widely in type, all have this essential beauty of marvel- ous skin.” 9 out of 10 screen stars keep their skin smooth with Lux Toilet Soap When the popular close-up is being taken, the glare from the new incandescent “‘sun-spot” lights streams down on the screen star, and any defect in her skin would inevitably be registered on the highly sensitized film. This is why, of the 451 important Hollywood actresses, including all stars, 442 are devoted to Lux Toilet Soap. They have found that this delicately fragrant white soap gives their skin' the satin-smoothness necessary for the close-up. In fact, so delighted are they with this soap that it has been made the official soap in the dressing rooms of all the great film studios. You will be charmed with Lux Toilet Soap, too. Tryit—today.
