Give it away, if it is neither needed nor worn any more. Or if into something else, such as a rug or a quilt, cut it up and put the pieces away | where they belong, ready to be used ‘| when time offers for the work, or pack the garment in a box and put it in the storeroom or closet until wanted. It will occupy less space in either of these arrangements, and the much-desired closet room will be at your service. Consider shoes and hats with this | same idea in mind. There probably are | one or two pairs that can be boxed for | another season, or given away now or thrown away, if past any usefulness. If you have only such things as you are using at the present time, see they cannot_be stored away to better advantage. If so, the extra space they now take is wasted. Find how to re- cover it. Closets of a kitchen are sure to have waste space in them. I know of one housekeeper who is sorely pressed for places to put things, yet she has a very large closet, practically wasted, one in which & flour barrel used to stand, besides having much additional room. It is crowded with a motley array, such as old wooden grape and fruit baskets and old wooden boxes in which goods have come from & grocery. These she carefully gives space to, be- cause she has an open fireplace and some day these old pieces of wood may come in handy. The amusing thing about it is that she lives in an apartment kept so hot that windows have to be opened whenever the pleasure of an open fire is hers; more- over, for the fire she always has ample firewood. There are many housewives just as inconsistent in the use of closet space. Consider the medicine closet. It probably is crowded. Yet on each shelf there are quite likely to be bottles of medicine, leftovers from prescriptions, partly used. Most of these will never be needed again, or if they are, who will remember which bottle contains the desired medicine? No one dares to use the medicine, no one cares to throw away that for which good money was nt. Meanwhile the top of the closet, ;})e“ is a portable one, does duty as an extra shelf because of room wasted, al- though occupled on the inside shelves. Few homes have not such waste closet space that can be made useful provided prompt attention is given to clearing out useless things. Now is to work, for delay discomfort of (Copyright, 1930.)

In a recent article one reader was intent on discovering some means of removing both cod liver oil and orange juice stains from children’s clothes. I have in front of me a pile of letters from mothers who saw that question and hastened to answer it. A number of mothers offered the name of the same product, an advertised one, which evi- dently is very effective. However, since it is a proprietary article, we cannot mention it in this department. It is an iron-clad rule that we must refrain from discussing any advertised products through the column, although we ap- preciate having mothers call them to our attention. Two of the suggestions can be men- tioned here. One mother said she rub- bed the oil staln with grease (lard will do), then washed it in the regulation way. This should work well. I have a childhood remembrance of seeing the laundress rub lard -into car grease stains, after which they came out like a charm. Orange juice stains may be routed by soaking in sour milk, then washing in soap and water. Another reader suggested that the Good Housekeeping Magazine in a past issue suggested carbon tetrachlorid for these stains. If you are good at guessing you may note a marked resemblance to this chemical in a well advertised cleaning fluid which would probably work the same way. I see no reason why Javelle water, which is a bleach and a solution of chlorld of lime, might not have the same effect. However, the latter should be used cautiously on colors that fade. I have in my files the names of three products which numerous readers have successfully. I shall be giad to on this information to any reader who sends a self-addressed, stamped en- velope with her request. I am sure readers get so accustomed to seeing the phrase ‘“self-addressed, stamped envelope” that it ceases to have much meaning. Failure to comply with that request when writing for leaflets or for strictly personal advice causes me much grief. In answering hundreds of Continuing the discussion of the hold- up play, we now come to the of hand in which the player is not able to hold up his high card, but good judg- ment shows the necessity of hy‘lnf' it gnpt;l:mflr:; or l:encgnd '.rlck.z 'Fh.ls often a) playing a no-trump con- tract. Declarer often finds his cgrfll 80 placed that he is very anxious to hold up until the third round of his oppo- nent’s suit, but he i unable to do so. Many times he has to use the only stopper he possesses of the, opponent’s suit on either the first or second trick, due to the fact that he has only a few cards of the suit or because if he fails to take the trick in question he will not be able to take any other in that suit. Under such conditions, if the lead has been from a five-card suit or the de- clarer finds by counting the cards of the sult in his own hand and in his dummy that the opponent holds a total of nine game he must take eight consecu- tive tricks before giving opponents the opportunity to lead. If he lets the opponents in after taking his only trick in their suit, they will have sufficlent tricks in their suit, together with any other trick they may be able to take, to_prevent game. The following hands illustrate this very well. South gets the declaration at one no trump and holds: Spades—Ace; Sack, 8, 3 Hearts— ce. 9, 7. Jack, 10, 8. Diamondi West, the leader, holds: Clubs—Ace, Spades—King, 6. Hearts—King, 2. Diamonds—Queen, Clubs—Queen, 9, East, leader’s partner, holds: Spades—Queen, 10, . Hearts—Queen, 10, 8, 8. Diamonds—10," 5. Clubs—King, 7. 5, 4. . ‘To trick No. 1 west would naturally lead the fourth best from his longest and strongest, with the combination in that hand practically no re-entry, so therefore he does not wan to lead his ace and possibly lose control of the suit. He therefore leads the 4-spot of hearts. After lead dummy’s hand goes down, and remember when you are dummy to put your cards about six inches from the edge of the table, thus em:.unxh youxl' ylnmtl:: wlmrmhhthe gards when Playing them without hav- ing to to get them. As soon as the dummy hand goes down, declarer sees the king and 2-gpot of hearts and, holding the 6 and 7 in the closed hand, realizes there is a total of only four hearts in the two hands. Applying the rule of 11, he finds that the partner of leader holds four cards higher than the 4-spot; therefore the lead was from a four or flve-card suit, and if he passes this trick the partner of leader will have three hearts left in his hand, enough to lead back to his partner that many times. With this division of hearts, it will not make any difference which opponent he eventually realizes that his only chance for a trick in hearts is to play his king to trick No. 1 and it leader’s partner will not have the ace. Leader’s partner played the 5-spot and in which the dedmnw :lx:a.m: ‘whic! 'S judgment showed it unwise to hold off in the ponent’s suit.

The Good Taste girls came o Nancy's home primed with questions. Two of the girls had been “dated” heavily over the past week end. Many questions had arisen, and, as usual, they brought them to Nancy for answers. ““We went to that Chinese restaurant the teapot and the two little teabowls. He set it at my right. Should I have poured the tea for Jack as well as for myself? I did, but Jack said he never had seen a girl do it before.” “You are quite right, Alice. You were the hostess doing the graclous act of serv- ing. It would have been rude to have asked Jack to pour his gwn.

GLASS. “HE LEFT A STANDING ORDER TO THEM AND TO HIS SERVANTS.” The Gauls, the Romans found, had wealth which supplied continued feast- ing that even they could command. Indeed the land was so rich that its inhabitants were able to indulge in the most extravagant entertainments. This was done with such hospitality and such lordly delicacy that a stranger was never asked his name or his business until the entertainment was over. Athenoeus gives two instances of the manner in which Gallic hosts provided feasts that certainly indicate the last degree of lavishness. A King of the Averni, having it in SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

Seldom has the color outlook been this year. There are no two or three supremely smart colors which women feel they must wear to indicate their knowledge of fashion, and among all the colors offered to us for our selece tion there is not a single one of those strikingly trying colors such as fuchsia or mustard that so often confront us at the end of the Winter. Navy blue is bly the best selec- tion for the Sp: street ensemble, not because it is always smart at this time of the year, but because it has been definitely revived by the influential dressmakers. Brown is a less happy ~hoice for the street ensemble, not only because it always seems a little “stuffy” at this time of the year, but because we have all been fed up on browns this Winter and are glad to try our luck with something else. ‘There 1s much talk about the smart- ness of gray for Spring.
