And, best of all, it is really easy to make. ‘You will need ty., 13-inch squares of material from “/hich to cut the two sides of the bag; two straps of material 16 inches long and about ! inch wide when finished; two strips of material 2 m?l long and 3 inches wide to be e pleated for the little frill with which the bag is finished; a strip of orded Material MARSHALL, material 25 inches long and 2% inches wide to go between the two sides, and two little triangular p'.ces to set in this strip at the two sides of the bag so that it may be opened wide. Then you will need two slender sticks or whalebones about 8 inches long to run |in the slot of the bag at the top, 1'51 you like, material with which to e bag. For the front of the bag you will need to cut two pieces from the lquues.l In cutting these pieces follow the out- |line shown in the diagram, bearing these | dimensions in mind: AB, CD, AC and | BD equal 13 inches. EC and FD equal 4 inches. AG and BH, 1! inches; GI the 1leces off h- een E and F as shown in the diagram, making sure that !both sides are alike.

Make a slit, MN, in the ends |of the strip. MN is 4 inches long. Then leut two right-angle triangles of the material 6 inches long on the side op- posite the right angle. This is shown as MMN in the third diagram. Now |insert one of these triangles at either |end of the strip and sew in & narrow {seam along the wrong side. For the frill you will neto strips 2 yards and 3 inch- long 1 inch wide. Fold and crease this strip length- wise so that you will have a double strip 1% inch 1ide, and have this knife- pleated or else lay it in knife pleats | yourself. Baste one of these pleated i strips along the edge of each side of the bag pieces so that the edges of the bag and the raw edges of the ruffie form a seam on the wrong side. Now join the two bag pleces so arranged to the 2l5- inch strip, with the tops marked KM and ML joining the sides of the bag at J and L. Run the narrow sticks or wholebone in the slot and finish the ends of the frill at the top of the bag |by turning in the edges where B is | turned over on HJ and AG on GI.

In the hands which were bid last week and for which the play is to be given today, dealer hok in spades queen, 10, 9, in hearts ace, jack, 4, 2, in diamonds ace, king, queen, 7, 3 and in clubs ace. ‘West, or second hand, holds in spades king, 6, 3, in hearts queen, 10, 8, 7, in .| diamonds 6, 4 and in clubs king, queen, line | 18I " North, or third hand, holds in spades jack, 2, in hearts king, 6, 5, 3, in dia- monds ' jack, 10, 8 and 14 clubs 10, 9, East, or fourth hand, holds in spades ace, 8, 7, 5, 4, in hearts 9, in diamonds 9, 5, 2 and in clubs jack, 4, 3, 2. The declaration in iction was one {no trump and in contract was three no trump, using the direct bidding. Of course, it is 'well to remember that many bids are optional, and many hands properly bid will not work out satisfactorily, due to the distribution of cards. The play would be the same in either game. Coming next to the play, west has to agatst no trump, if the hand contains a cour-card suit headed by the king, queen, with only two other small cards, it is best to lead the fourth best card. West therefore leads to trick No. 1 the 6 of clubs. After the dummy goes down leader’s partner, by applying the rule of eleven, realizes that declarer has only one card in his hand higher than the card led, and while the 7-spot is played from dummy, east plays the 2- spot, and declarer takes the trick with the ace. . To trick No. 2 declarer leads the 3- spot of diamonds, west plays the 6-spot, the 10-spot is played from dummy and east plays the 2-spot. To trick No. 3 the 3-spot of hearts is led from dummy, east plays the 9-spot, declarer plays the jack, trying a finesse, but the queen is in west’s hand and he takes the trick. It is well to remember that many hands may be played two ways, and it is optional with the player which way he decides will be to his advantage. To trick No. 4 west, not knowing which hand holds the jack of clubs, leads the 7-spot of hearts, the 5-spot is played from dummy, east discards the 5-spot of diamonds, and south takes the trick with the ace. South, in counting his tricks, realizes that now is the time for him to take his diamond tricks, hoping to get some desired discards. To trick No. 5 declarer leads the 7- spot of diamonds, west plays the 4-spot, the trick is taken with the jack in dummy, and east plays the 9- under and sewing to the inside of the bag before the sticks are inserted in the it o (Copyright, 1930) $i#i NATURE IN AUTUMN BY D. C. Equinox in Fiction. I’r is wasted breath to try to convince le who do not want to believe 1t that the equinox is not the time of & regular storm, falling in the middle September or soon thereafter, and also in the middle of March.

And if there were any storms they, too, would be visible as moving mo{clwdmdmmn Bluejay Habits. Books tell me that Master Bluejay, that bold, masked bandit of the orchard ways, 15 not a Summer resident in the District of Columbia. I have sometimes thought that I caught my betters in an error on this point, that I heard his rattling cry, like a boy with one of those infernal razzle-dazzie toys, in July and August. Perhaps I am wrong, though, and I must admit that I hear more of him in April and May than at any time, except for a brief while i Autumn. Now, on occasion, above all in orchard eountry, you may catch half-an-earful of his war-cry, only a broken fragment of his bold Summer note, and rarer still s his Springtime call note, that sounds like somebody jingling little bits of iron, a sweet, wild, liquid song that may be a mating call, but to me merely ex- presses that the bird is happy in the sun and wind and his own life unburdened by any conscience. ‘When you do hear this snatch of song in Autumn, as the bluejay flits through our countryside on his Southward way, it brings back Springtime to the mind, as only bird notes and odors can do. 8 , this resemblance of Spring to Autumn. The resemblances I find lie in odors of earth and grass, in balmy ‘weather and soft skies and showers, in the ache of the body to escape from work and take exercise in country places. While Summer and Winter have. nothing but differences between them, the resemblances of Spring and Autumn d the | de PEATTIE, are looking-glass resemblances, resem- blances in reverse, when the Autumn days grow shorter, flowers fade, and frost is hinted in the lengthening nights, Autumn Flowers. ‘There is a most particular and deli- cate chafm in all those flowers that walt till Autumn for their first appear- ance. In this class the aster and the gentian have been sung innumerable times by poets. But few people seem to know that in Autumn comes a sec- ond pulsation of blooming from the orchid family. And now is that season of the year when woods may be ram- bled, bogs trotted, for a handful of those last frail sweet blossoms of the queen of families. The second blooming of the orchids does not mean that -:EI“ the Btgrlnz and Summer flowers re'rt em- selves. Quite the eonmxz‘,lmm“flve shy species of the Indian never appear before late August. Two of them are saprophytes—that is to say, ts that live upon deeay- ing vegetable matter, as tes live on living plants. And both bear some of the stigmata of the lazy saprophytic life. In place of the healthy green of plants that make their living in decent places and ways are stri les. and ochres; an odd, almost ke, odor is exuded from them, and the flowers have an elfish, unearthly shape and color. One is the coral-root, an- other the crane-fly orchis. Wholly charming are the three cles of ladies'-tresses that are blool now, though only the sharp eye will find two of them in bog and slough grass. One is frequent in open mead- ows, however, and you may know it at once by the way its flowers twist around the stem in a close rank. They would, indeed, resemble a maiden’s curls, ex- cept that they are silver white, so that it must have been a Colonial lady with powdered locks who was changed into this flower. One of the ladies’-tresses’ is deliciously fragrant, the sweetest of all our native orchids. The odor is classed as that of woodruff, which is a word that conveys nothing to most people, including my- self. To me the odor is like that of sweet grass, such as baskets are made of for sewing-boxes, mingled with the aroma of birchbark and of vanilla. There is just one other Autumn or- chid, a species of rattlesnake plantain, and it is a mystery. There exists, hid- west_Branch, Sept. 28" Who collected it? In what year? Nobody knows; no- body has ever found this orchid again. Perhaps lamp woods along the Northwest Branch people find it still and pass it by unnoticed, not realizing that it is a great rarity. —_— Grape Custard Dessert.

Split lady fingers. Beat the jam with a fork until light and spread generously on lady fingers.

Nos. 11 and 12 west leads first the king of clubs and second the queen, and to trick 13 he leads the 6- spot of spades, which trick is taken by east with the ace of spades. By this method of play declarer only made two no trump, or took in all eight tricks. However, had east played the jack of clubs on trick No. 1 declarer would have tried the heart finesse which did mot work, but would have ne right in front for his game by f;mng & spade to trick No. 2 and would ‘have made nine tricks.

MOTHERS Length of Slips. Here is a plan I have found ve! helpful when making slips for my smai | daughters. I do not cut out the neck as usual, but make nnga about 212 inches wide and sew to the top of the body at the back of the neck. I have these straps extra long and let the ends at the front pass underneath the body of the slip and pin with small safety ins, also underneath. When wanted longer, I only have to pin the straps nearer to the end to let the slip down. One silp may be used with dresses that | vary in length, eliminating the bother | of having a slip for each dress. | pinch of salt.

The Burning Tree boasts that no woman has ever set foot on its prop- erty. It is strictly for males, and all that money can do for a golf course it has done for this one.

It's good when one is bent and old, with trembling limbs and muscles sore, to have some little store of gold, to keep the gaunt wolf from the door.
