Dress a New Lease of Life set for an old dress that will give it all the sir of something quite new. This year, with irimming not only permitted but encouraged, there are ail sorts of interesting things that one can do to give one's dresses a new lease of life. You may, for instance, achieve a very interesting effect with a yard and a half of velvet ribbon. The dress sketched was not a makeshift. It was very new and we saw it at a smart lit- tle shop that speclalizes in clothes flat- tering to the broad and the short. The ribbon, as you see, is worked into the edge of the collar through a number of buttonholes in the material and the ends are tied at the front and allowed to hang down to give the fa- vorable perpendicular line.

Any dinner which is as rich and as heavy as a holiday one calls for simple vegetables with a substantial, earthy flavor. Delicate ones like peas or string beans are lost in the array of rich, strong flavored foods. Lois had never read the above state- ment but she knew it intuitively ap- parently, otherwise how would she have been wise enough to put buttered onions and mashed turnips in her Thanksgiving menu? The cnions were medium size, mild- \fln\'ond ones. She washed them and removed the outer two or three layers of filmy skin. Then she put them over to cook in boiling, salted water. Had they been strong flavored oncs she would have partially cooked them, thrown away that water and started with a second amount of boiling, salted water. i g B She cooked them the day before Thanksgiving and then all she had to do on the day was to reheat them, add a generous amount of butter and sprinkle them with chopped parsley at_serving time. The turnips were the white ¥ariety. She led these, cut them into fairly pleces, put them over in boiling, salted water and cooked them until they were tender. Then she drained off the little water that was on them, mashed them by putting them thrcugh EUITERED ONION/J a ricer. (She nu'fi:n have used & wood- en masher.) le turnips were sea- soned with salt, pepper and butter. ‘These, too, were prepared the day be- fore the dinner, and reheated during the morning.

Ll Tl s Sunburst Jelly. Prepare a quart of orange gelatin and set in a ring mold to harden. To serve place a large round of sponge cake about an inch thick in the bottom of | the serving dish, and on top place the gelatin which you have unmolded. Fill the center with sliced preserved peaches and cover with marshmallow cream, piping it in strips around the jelly mold. Around the bottom arrange slices of peaches and pipe the cream between each slice. The decoration on top should be a oone of jelly that is made in a separate mold. THE EVEN BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, Jr. In the playing of contract bridge it is necessary to understand the score values, and for this purpose we will take up contract 5 In place of the auction values of 6 for clubs, 7 for diamonds, 8 for hearts and 9 for spades, as well as the 10 for no trumps, the contract values are 20 for each trick for clubs and diamonds, although the diamonds outrank the clubs in the bidding. By this 20 is meant 20 for each trick over the book of six tricks. Hearts and spades each count 30, although the spades outrank the hearts in the bidding, and for no trumps, we count 35. As before, no- trump bid outranks all other bids. The old ratio of odd tricks for game remains the same, as contract game is 100 points insf of the auction game of 30 points. takes just as many odd tricks at & minor sult to go game in contract as it did in auction, five. The same applies to the major suits, four tricks, and three for the no-trump bids. It is really just a case of dealing with higher figures and in playing contract you expect to win or lose by larger margins, as the average rubber in con- tract will be fully 900 points. One very important thing to remember is this: You can only score in your game score the number of tricks that you have bid, regardless of how many you make. However, the extra tricks are scored in the honor score, 50 for each trick if not vulnerable, or if undoubled when you are vulnerable. Vulnerability confuses many contract beginners, beeause' it is entirely differ- ent from anything we have had before in bridge games. It simply means that when the side has a game it is vulner- able, and should both sides be a game in, then both sides are vulnerable. It important to waich the score. Never make a bid until you have locked at the score. Unless you make & game bid you cannot score for game, aithough you may make the necessary number of tricks. The same thing applies to grand slams and I slams. Unless they are bid you cannot score them. Another distinct novelty introduced by contract is the premium for making rubbers. Instead of the auction bonus of 250 for all rubbers, in contract the bonus is 500 for winning two ‘rlmu out of three. But should a side get two games in succession, so that the other side has none, then the premium for this is 700. This does not mean that the rubber must be won in two deals, as some players seem to think, but simply that if the first two games are won by a side, they score 700 in- stead of 500 for the two-out-of-three games. There is a decided difference in the method of counting and scoring for & revoke. The penalty is two tricks for the first revoke, but 100 points instead of additional tricks when a subsequent revoke is made in the same deal by the same player. ‘When it comes to counting honors, there is very little to worry about, and little to remember, as nothing less than four honors in one hand figures in the honor score, and nothing less than 100 is scored for honors. Four honors in one hand count 100 for the holder, five in one hand count 150, and at & no-trump declaration four aces in one hand count 150. The honor value of the hand is due some consideration, but not when compared with the trick- taking abllity; a ible honor score has weight, only the scales are other- wise balanced between two sound decla- rations. ‘To the beginner in contract scoring the doubled bid often seems difficult, and it is wise to have before you a contract score, at least until you learn how to score accurately. bonus for makin doubled contract, 50 points if you are doubled and not vulnerable; but if you are vulnerable l.n’d ‘doubled. you get a bonus of 100 points. In scoring your extra tricks, if dou- bled and you are not vulnerable, you score 100 points for each extra trick. Should you be vulnerable and be fortu- nate enough to be doubled, when you are able to make extra tricks, then you score 200 for each extra trick in your honor score. My Neighbor Says: Before peeling apples for ples place them in a pan, pour boiling water over them and cover. Leave for 10 minutes and the skins will come off easily. Always beat rather than stir your cake batter. Beating intro- duces air into the batter, stirring makes it more solid. When meking peppermints drop themgnto a piece of waxed paper instead of onto a pan. They are more easily removed from waxed paper. Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine will remove paint from white clothing. Let soak until paint disappears, then wash in warm soapsuds. Never hang pictures below the line of vision.

Dear Miss Leeds—I am a tall, slim girl 18 years old. I have blond hair, dark brown eyes and black eyebrows and lashes. I want to make my hair black. Will sage tea do it? CONNIE, Answer—No, sage tea will not make blond hair black. It is used on dark hair that is just beginning to turm a little gray" to stain the few faded hairs, If you wish to have black hair you must have it dyed. However, I think you would regret it very much if you did do so. The contrast between your fair hair and dark eyes and eye- brows is the chief charm of your type of beauty, LOIS LEEDS. Liquid Face Powder. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) Can the new liquid powders be used any time of day? What are the advantages and disad- vantages of using them and where can they be obtained? (2) I have medium brown eyes and hair and a fair com- plexion. What three colors can I wear best? (3) I am 18 years old, 5 feet 37 inches tall and weigh 1097 pounds. Is this correct? JEANNE. Answer—(1) Liquid powders have used for years and have been pre- ferred for evening make-up. With the advent of the suntan fad there have been more dark liquid powders for day- time wear, especially for sports. Some of these liquid powders are waterproof and may be worn in bathing at the beach. Dry powders are W conven- fent to apply but usually do hot stay on as long as liquid ones. It is a good lan to have both kinds on your dress- g table. You may buy either kind at any shop where cosmetics are sold. (2) Your best colors are shades of brown, green and blue. You have a wide variety of choice from deep seal brown to russet, beige, cocoa and tan. Among the greens, reseda, Nile, jade and deep forest green are good. Soft medium shades of blue are good, also , Copenhagen, Wedgwood, = sap- phire and turquoise. Rose and rust shades are also becoming. Wine is ex- cellent_also. (3) You are very much too thin. You should weigh between 119 and 122 pounds. LOIS LEEDS. She Powders Her Nose. Dear Miss Leeds—My nose is shiny and I cannot help powdering it. When washing my face the skin seems oily, but when I dry it, it feels dry and looks chapped. The rest of my face seems in good condition. ‘WONDERING. Answer—Sometimes a chapped, dry- looking skin is due to the use of too strong a soap or to failure to rinse off every particle of soap. suggestion is that you cleanse your skin first with cleansing cream, wipe that off, then wash with warm water and a pure, mild soap. Rinse very thoroughly and dry the skin well. Now if the skin on nose feels or looks chapped, rub in & excess and der on the nose the skin when there is toward dryness, and what has happened in your case. Make it a rule never to apply fresh powder over old powder, but always cleanse the skin and apply & powder base before you put on new powder. LOIS LEEDS. Nut Cookies. Cream one cupful of sifted flour with one-fourth pound of butter. Add three tablespoonfuls of sugar to one tea- spoonful of vanills, cream together, then add three-fourths cupful of broken nut meats. Drop very small fons into ungreased pans and bake n a rather hot oven. Remove from the pans and while the cookies are still warm sprinkle with powdered sugar. ‘These make good party cakes.
