If the chicken has been pre- viously cooked, everything can go in at one time, but if not the vegetables should be added a little later, or they may be cooked to pieces. Before the g""‘ arrive put the preparation into dividual dishes (casseroles or rame- kins)., Have as many radishes cut into Toses as there are small dishes and have peas freshly cooked. Put the individual dishes in & pan of hot water, cover and set in a warm oven to keep hot. Just before serving pour a layer of peas over each dish and in the center place the radish rose: Have the waffle mixture ready and make the waffles as served. Between each two buttered waffles put slices of ham spread with mustard. Cut in half or in quarters, according to the size of waffle iron used. Serve immediately. Other meat can be used, but ham is plquant. A highly seasoned chopped meat mixture could be used. Stuffed tomatoes either baked and served hot or filled with a salad mixture and served cold are ‘different.” Meat mousses on lettuce are delicious. Sim- mer chicken or veal until tender. Boil down the broth highly seasoned with onion, green pepper, celery, salt and r. Put the meat through a fine der and then mash to make a puree consistency. Season with salt and pep- rr. ‘To each 115 cup of broth add one iblespoonful of dissolved gelatin. ‘When it begins to set add the meat and finally a cup of cream whipped stiff and pour immediately into molds.

Continuing the discussion of the playing of the hand, we will now take up what is known ns false carding. ‘Whenever you are selecting a card from & sequence, it is customary, or conven- tional, to lead the highest, but to play tbe lowest. The first card played to each or any trick is the card which is led; the three following cards are called yl-nd cards. Whenever any player ails to lead high and play low, it is done for the purpose of deceiving his opponent. It is known as false carding. rience has proven that it is usu- ally better to give accurate information to your partner, which, of course, you f | 8ive to declarer at the same time, than try and deceive declarer and at the same time deceive your &lm'm'. Declarer, of course, not bothered g by any such considerations, as he should Klly in every way possible to deceive is opponents, as dummy is not seeking information, and there 1s no necessity of giving valuable information to his opponents. Whenever the closed hand contains the king and queen it is con- sidered good false carding for the de- clarer to play the king when following to the lead of the suit, instead of the queen, and if he is obliged to lead that suit from his own hand he would lead the queen instead of the king. In other words, declarer has the privilege of re- versing the rules given for the adver- saries. The adversaries play with the idea of giving each other information and declarer has all the information that the two hands contain before him. This same rule applies when the closed hand contains an ace and king, and has to lead the suit. He would start with the ace. Many times it is neces- sary to shift the suit after one trick, and had the king been led it would have given the information to the adversaries that the closed hand contains the ace, but by leading the ace, the adversaries get no information at The play of what is known as se card by de- clarer from any sequence is considered a good play. Declarer in playing small cards from his dummy shouid play them, if pos- sible, in such a way as to confuse his adversaries. For instance, if holding the 9-spot, 7-spot and 3-spot in the dummy, instead of playing them in the ordinary way, the lowest first, which would be the 3-spot, then the 7-spot and next the 9-spot, he may play them, the 7-spot, the 9-spot and the 3-spot, as_this may mislead his opf:onenuL When a card has been led that de- clarer has a good reason to believe is a singleton, often a false card from the closed hand will confuse the winner and discourage him in returning the lead of this suit to his partner. Of course, a false card so played often will prevent the leader from being able to ruff, or use his small trumps. Forexample, if a three- spot of a sult were led and dummy contained the queen, 10-spot -spot and 6-spot; third hand, leader's rtner, holds the ace, 5-spot, 4-spot and 2-spot, and closed hand contains the king, jack, 9-spot and 7-spot: if on third hand's ace declarer should play the king third hand might think the jack, 9-spot and 7-spot were in his partner's hand, and realizing that if this should be the case & continuation of this suit would enable closed hand to make two discards, he might not return the lead. This would certainly be a case of false card- ing and playing to deceive the oppo- nents by the declarer. —_— The Right Gravy. To serve beef gravy, add Worcester- shire sauce, tabasco sauce, mushrooms, tomato juice, horseradish, parsley or chopped green pepper. With lamb gravy use mint or mint jelly, garlic, celery, chopped pimento, carrot or pea puree. With veal gravy use parsley, celery, ftomato juice, peppercorns, bay leaf, lemon juice or chopped bacon. With ham gravy use cloves, allspice, fruit juices, raisins or tomato puree. — Gingerbread Sandwiches. Bake your favorite gingerbread in a loaf pan. When cold cut into one- eighth-inch slices.

D!:AR MISS DIX—WIll you please tell us what you think children owe their parents, and what children’s duty is toward the home?—MOLLY.: Answer—What children owe their parents depends altogether upon what the parents do for the children, upon how well the parents fulfill their obliga- tions toward their ehildren. 1 have never been able to see why a child owes any debt of gratitude to its parents for merely bringing it into the world. Life, even for the most fortunate, isn’t so hilarious as all th: many of us it is mostly a long and weary stretch of hard work, of striving and struggle, of anxieties and cares and dis- appointments, of sickness and suffering, and just the privilege of undergoing these tribulations doesn't call for our giving a rising vote of thanks to those who thrust this fate upon us. But when we have arrived, without baggage and weak and helpless in this vale of tears, it is up to our parents to decide how much gratitude we shall owe them, or cancel our debt—if there is a debt—by the way they use us. Of course, this is not the point of view of most parents. The way the great majority of mothers and fathers look at it is that no matter how they neglect them or how they misuse them. the children's obligation to them never ceases. In fact, they regard their children as merely slaves, It is for the parents who exploit their children, and set baby hands to work for them, that we have had to pass child-labor laws defending helpless little children against their greedy parents. If you have ever been in any mill town, you have seen the saddest and most horrible sight on earth—big, lazy, husky women and men idling around, while their stunted little children, with tired, workworn faces and bent little shoulders, labor to support them. Every one of us knows of some case in which a gay, frivolous woman has | Tun off with some man, leaving a helpless babe in its cradle to live or die as chance might have it, or some man who deserted his children in their helpless infancy. Then, after 30 or 40 years, old and broken in health and poor, these renegade parents come back and demand that their children shall take care of them the balance of their lives. More, they actually feel themselves ill-used because their children do not love and honor and respect them. ‘There are fathers and mothers whose lives are one long sacrifice to their children. They literally work themselves to death to save their children from the hardships they have known. They go shabby that their children may be well dressed. They pinch and economize so that their children may have the education and the advantages that they never had, knowing when they do it that they are putting their children out of their own class and raising them to a level they cannot reach. The debt that children owe to such parents as these is beyond all count- ing. It is a debt that can only be paid in love and gratitude and appreciation, and in cherishing and caring with all tenderness for the parents when they come to helplessness as their parents ed for them when they were helpless. As for the children’s attitude toward the home, that should be one of co-operation. I think one of the first lessons that children should be taught is their responsibility toward the upkeep of the home and toward making the home & pleasant and agreeable place in which to live.

Woodward & Lothrop Authorized Hoover Service, Bank of Commerce & Savings Building. National 7690 - SUB ROSA Pennies for Thoughts. Mr. Rockefeller hands out & shiny dime where gnother person ' gives a mere handshake. He offers you his hand plus 10 cents. But just now he is giving out & poem which is worth its welght in silver at least. Mr. Rocke- feller has had it printed on a handsome mflntmum:mtmflmndy This poem was written by an English servant girl who finds inspiration in pots and pans, in washing dishes and shining shoes. Poets usually depend upon stars .and flowers, or love and valor. What this unknown poetess says of herself is unusually interesting. “Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind,” which shows that the Bible is being read in Canada, where this girl lives. Most girls, if they consider it at all, think they must have either the Martha or the Mary personality. But this girl claims that she has both together. Her kitchen and her poem prove it. The Martha mind is that which makes a woman serve and work. Most ‘women have this sort of brain because their lives are, or have been, of the serving, working sort. The Mary mind is much rarer. We find it in Mrs. Browning or Mme. Curie or some other talented woman. It is the mind which contemplates true and beautiful things. If your Martha mind makes you drudge along over the day’s work, watch the clock and count up the hours until the boy friend appears, you need a touch of the Mary mind. One should not be too faithful to duty; that is, so faithful £s to make the duty blot ou one's per- sonality. That sort of mind cooks up work without seasoning it. The Mary mind is supposed naturally to be of the nobler sort and this Ca- nadian servant girl knows that, all right. But if the Ma.y brain is all dreams cobwebs, it won't get its owner any where. You have to dream with a pur- pose to it and put a kick into your imagination. What a grl of today should do is just what this talented servant is do- ing—bring the two together so that Mary and Martha shall kiss each other. You can do that if you put ideas into your work and work into your ideas. Let the boys be the robots if they want to, since robots were invented by man. We want to work in such a way that we shall know what we are doing and why, if we can. we want to make the dreamy Mary mind work out something worth while. A worm can weave the finest silk, if it's that kind of a worm. Woman's dreams, by the way, are yet to be heard from except here and there. When Mary gets the Martha mind, we’ll hear from her.
