Partner could then show an ace on the next round, since the trump suit has been agreed on; his ability to ruff the third round of your second suit would also mean no losers in it with the first suit as trumps, and you should now be able to count losers in the two unbid suits. Your partner has a trick and a half somewhere; if you know it is not in either of your suits because you hold them so solid at the top, you can locate the high cards held by your partner and get to & slam.

To contract only for game, you need merely bid three hearts over two spades; partner will presumably bid three spades, and If he likes the hearts even better than the spades, he should realize that you hope for a game and are not merely inquiring his preference. With one and one-half primary tricks in the hand, he can bid four hearts. (Copyright. 1933.) After Partner's Minimum Raise. ERE again the same principles H fear a misfit in your eventual | contract.

UNCLE RAY’S CORNER AVE you ever seen a ring around | the moon? Very likely you have seen such a ring miore than once. They may be ob- served several times in a single | vear: and they mean that there is mist | in the air, or clouds of a certain type. | Such a ring is not really around the | s that The av- V] (OON W] LOW—SUN WITH SUN DOGS. erage distance of the moon from the earth is about 240.000 miles. The light ring is seldom, if ever, more than 5 miles above the surface of the earth. It is made by rays of moonlight strik- ing the mist or clouds in a certain and the sun. Sometimes these rings are colored, being red on the inner edge, orange and yellow between the edges, and white on the outer edge. Such rings are to be seen more often in northern than in southern parts. They are caused by sunlight or moon- light striking against ice crystals, and thus being “bent” on the way to earth. In this case, again, I may say that the rings are not really around the moon or the sun. The ice crystals are in the air, not a great distance above our heads. Compare a distance of a few miles with 93,000,000 miles, the space which separates us from the sun. There may be as many as three rings or “halos” around the sun at a given moment. The winds in the region of the clouds have something to do with the state of the ice crystals, and the sunlight may be reflected to form rings of different sizes. Colors in those rings are very brilliant, when seen from polar regions. At times, “sun dogs” go along with the_halos. These are round reflections of the sun, and were named sun dogs because they follow the sun as a dog might follow its master. Another name for them !s “mock suns.” There may be as many as four sun dogs in & TOW. People of ancient times thought | there was something sacred about the sun and the moon. Probably you have read about Apollo, the sun god, who was worshipped by Greeks and Romans. ‘The olden Babylonians spoke of a moon god named Sin.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “Today I have an intricate pattern for you to work out. You have had 50 many easy patterns that I thought you ought to be ready for a tricky one. It is tricky to put together in that pleces which seem to be identical really are not. Let's look at the pattern care- fully and see just what I mean. Be sure you have the life size pat- tern with its small acccmpanying dia- gram in front of you as I talk. You notice that the block divides it- self into four squares put together with a strip of color. Each square has a large white tri- angle and two small white ones. These two white ones are not twins. The smaller one goes toward the bottom of the square. It pairs with the smaller of the two diagonal strips.

MODES OF THE MOMENT u strip. ‘The larger white triangle marked “F” in the diagram on the full size pat- tern sheet is sewed to the larger dia- gonal strip marked “D.” After the square is pieced, the three | others making up the big block are | pleced. | Next the central strip is pleced and into the vacant places in this the four pieced squares are sewed. In putting them together follow the diagram carefully. This shows that “C" is always sewed onto center strip while the strip “D” touches it only at the outermost point. In going around the large block the order of white triangles, starting at up- | per left corner of block is “F,” then | edge of “D,” then center strip, then “G,” then point where “C" =D meet, then “F” and so on in repetition. ‘The connecting strips may be the width of the center strip in the block | or once and a half as wide.

BARBER. WONDER if you use in your meal | plans many of what are known as | “meat extras.” Almost every one, of course, uses liver, especially since it has b<come so well known as & source of vitamins and of iron. Opinion has certainly turned over in a genera- tion in regard to this meat as a con- | stituent to a child's diet. It used to be considered no food for children, and consequently many | people never learn- ed to like it. One point about its in- creased popularity is deplored by its older devotees, and that is the fact that increased de- mand for it has made it increase in price. ! Kidneys, although they deserve at least part of the consideration given to liver from the food-value angle, have not bccome as popular, and they can still be obtained at a comparatively low price. If you like kidney, you usually like it very much indeed, and consequently kidney en brochette ard kidney stew are among the real delicacies. Just writing about them makes me want to go 1o the telephone to order some immedi- ately. We find sweetbreads are more popu- lar generally than the other meats of this type. They are, of course, more delicate in flavor and are usually among | tne most expensive meats. ~ Brains, | either of calves or of lambs, may be {used in any recipe which calls for sweetbreads, and also sweetbreads can { be us2d in any recipe that calls for calves' or lambs’ brains. You will find any number of persons who have never tasted brain; who would like them very much if they were introduced to them under the guise of sweetbreads Tripe, especially honey-comb tripe, has its devotees, but it is not so well known in general as some of the other | “meat_extras.” | “While calves’ hearts are considered | the choicest, the hearts of beef and lamb are also used. They need com- paratively long cooking and should be well seasoned. Stuffed hearts are | particularly popular. It is hardly necessary to mention tongue in connection with this group | of meats, because it is more generally Edith M. Barber. He gets into your looks. Has he asked you for a dance? Of course!

Thank- ing you, M. B. K. Answer—An excellent skin lotion may | be made of the following ingredients: ‘Two ounces orange flower water, two drams glycerin, thirty grains zinc sul- phocarbolate, four drams alcohol, one dram tincture of cochinael, eight ounces rosewater. Dry complexions do not need a strong astringent, however. Cold | water, witchhazel or the following mild astringent may be used after remov- ing the cleansing cream or cleansing | oil: Witchhazel, four ounces; simple tincture of benzoin, ten drops; borate of soda, quarter teaspoonful; tincture of quillaya, twenty drops; rosewater, two ounces, Shake well.
