MAGAZINE PAGE. Ice Cubes for Use in Beverages BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. CE cubes in beverages can do more than chill the contents of glasses. They can supply color contrasts, flavor and even sweetness or zest. Some of the effects can be very thrifty, as the water in which vegetables or fruits are cooked can be used for the ‘cubes. Add a few drops of peppermint flavor- ing to cold water. Color the water with vegetable green to make a rich tone. Freeze. These cubes are just the thing to add to iced tea or to lemonade or fruit punch. For iced tea. the mint THE GAY ICE CUBES CLINK COOL~- INGLY IN GLASSES. fiavor should be very delicate. For other beverages it should be somewhat more pronounced, but never strong. A fine, fresh mint flavor is obtained by pour- ing boiling hot water over fresh mint . With a spoon, crush the mint as it is in the ing water, to further extract the juice and flavor. Cool and put in ice-cube container and freeze as r cubes. A _rich red tone is found in cubes made of the water in which beets have been bofled. Strain the liquid through a cloth and freeze in ice-cube container. Use these cubes for lemcnade and fruit punches as there is a delicate flavor in them which combines best with the named beverages. Lemon juice and water can supply the zest desired in iced tea with lemon. The lemon flavor may be mild or strong, according to the amount of lemon juice added to the water to be frozen. A mixture of orange and lemon juice sup- plies a peculiarly delicate flavor to iced tea. If this is wanted, use the juice of two oranges to that of one lemon, add water and freeze. Lemon and sugar, or orange, lemon and sugar can be used for ice cubes, and one or more cubes be added to clous lemonade or orangeade result. In makin more deliciqus if the rinds of the fruits | are put in cold water to a little more than cover them, brought to a boil and allowed to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain off the water, add sugar to sweet- en the fruit juices as well as this liquid and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Then add the fruit juices and when cold, pour into cube container and freeze. Cubes of frozan grape juice are color- | ful and delicious additions to lemonade | and fruit punches. | (Copyright, 1933.) A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Man of Poise. “Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven | by flerce winds, yet are they turned | | about with a very small heim, whither- ;tlri)eivar the governor listeth.”—James I am not thinking of the thing James | was {llustrating when he drew this pic- ture of the ships at sea. I am thinking of the man at the helm of the ship and his responsibility, and how important it is, in view of his responsibility, that he keep to his post, never losing his hold on the helm, no matter what hap- pens. If the ship is to be steered safely into port, he must keep a steady hand on the piiot wheel, must keep his poise and not allow himself to be upset or become confused by any disturbance or distraction. Since most of us are more familiar with automobiles than with ships, per- haps we might better change the figure. To drive an automobile with safety, you must keep a steady hand on the steer- ing wheel and never lose your head. “He lost his head,” is what we usually say of the driver when an accident oc- curs. The driver losing his head is re- sponsible for most accidents. A news item a few days ago told of a wreck caused by a bumblebee. A bumblebee flew into the automobile and three people went to the hospital. The little invader excited the driver, and in his excitement he crashed his car into_a telephone post. Of course, a bumblebee buzzing around one's head is some test of composure, but if you are going to drive an automobile, you must be prepared for even such a test. The lesson is plain. Only the man of poise can be safely trusted with great responsibility and great power. If you want to be counted as a safe and de- pendable man, you must know how to keep your poise, whether you are steer- ing a ship, an automobile or some im- portant enterprise. Watch out for bumblebees. They are noisy and an- noying. There are other kinds of bees that sting. You are liable to be stung any moment by some sharp criticism or some vexing occurrence. But you ‘m\m not allow these stings, or any | other sort of distractions to unset you and throw you off your poise. You have great interests in your charge. | Perhaps there are human lives depend- ing on your steadiness. With so much depending on you, you must maintain your composure and stick to your post, | regardiess of how severely you may be tested. If you would stesr your ship safely into harbor,- you must be a man of poise. 5 . Conquering Contract By P. HAL SIMS Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auc- tion player. He was captain of the re- nowned “Four Horsemen” team and has won 24 national championships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the one-over-one principle which the Sims group of players was the first to em- ploy and develop. Rebidding After Jump Take-Out of One No Trump. HERE is another hand pattern where you have a secondary suit not headed by tops, but nevertheless the hand justifies a jump take-out in your better suit and contains a further bid not in the form of a second ace. Such a combination would be: ‘The rebid lies in your excellent dis- tribution for slam- glly in a suit. The idding being one no trump, three diamonds (not three spades, for that suit is not heeded by two of the top three hon- ors), three no trumps; now by bidding four spades you can make it clear to the open- ing bidder that he need sign off only if his hand contains but one ace. If he bids again, read him for two P. Hal Sims. aces and three and one-half-four tricks | and bid the slam yourself as follows: If his bid is four no trumps, it shows BONERS Selected from school papers. Cricket on the hearth is where the English play it in bad weather. Caesar says that the ancient Britons were dressed in b skins. The Normans could be distinguished from the Anglo-Saxons by the scowls which they wore over their head. The man dropped down dead and in- stantly expired. Sardinia is an island off Italy. Its inhabitants are called Sardines, no marked preference for either suit and merely confirms two aces and & sound opening bid. Bid six spades for the higher trick value.

Never- theless, there will still be the spade finesse for the slam, which, over four no trumps or five spades by the opener, as above, the responder should bid in spades; while if the enemy were s0 careless as not to open clubs, the single king would be discarded on the third heart and the trump finesse would then be for seven-odd. If, the hands were xx Di. A clKQxx | s asloxx DiLKQxxx His.

Again the trump finesse would be for |seven if clubs were not opened. | The Cue Bid. With a singleton ace or a void, the responding hand generally holds the key to the slam when his partner has bid & no trump. However, he must be careful not to bid that void suit until after he has already bid two other suits, otherwise the opening bidder would have no means of knowing that it was a cue bid and not a secondary | suit. Such holding s of no use for no- | trump piay, and the responding hand | must first assure himself that he will | be able to get the bid in one of his suits. Consequently you must not shade the primary trick requirements because | of & void suit or make a_jump take-out | fn & suit not headed by the proper hon- | ors. Biddable four-card suits may be freely bid secondarily in order to secure the declaration. It is wise to refrain | from the cue bid if you yourself have | the material to bid the slam without active co-operation in the final stage from the opening bidder. That suit will often be the natural lead against your hand, and you will then get a play on it obtainable in no other manner. (Copyright, 1933.)

The wife must show an interest in her husband’s profession whes she doesn't care a hoot about it except as a source of their in- come. She must listen' with complete boredom as he extols his own virtues. She must make him think he is the finest, strongest, hand- somest man_ever created, and all sorts of such false expressions of her esteem for him. Well, I'm a man who wants nothing but the absolute truth in every way from my wife, and I get it. Incidentally, she receives the same from me, and we are happily married. But will you give hope to those who are yet hoping for happiness in marriage through being able to live by their own true natural consciences, instead of stifling them- selves with a forced futility of falsity? J. B. D. DIAR MISS DIX—You are always telling people how to live happily ANSWER: I must have expressed myself very badly, Mr. J. B. D, if I have given you the impression that I advocate insincerity between husbands and wives. Nothing was farther from my intention. My plea is merely for husbands and wives to show each other the affection and admiration that I belleve most of them feel, instead of just taking 1t for granted that the party of the other part is aware of their sentiments, and there is no use mentioning the matter. What makes the joy and thrill of courtship? Isn't it the mutual adulation that a boy and girl give each other? Nobody else has mired them very much, or thought them very wonderful, but suddenly the man discovers a woman who tells him how big and strong and hand- some and clever he is, and who never wearles of listening when he tells her about his adventures. And the woman is equally entranced by having a man sing & pean of praise to her eyebrows, and tell her how wonderful she is and how different from all other women. EFLATE the hot air from courtship and it would collapse like a punc- tured balloon. No man would marry a girl who told him that she considered him a most ordinary-looking person of mediocre intelligence and altogether too egotistical. “Nor would any girl marry a man who informed her that she was rather trying on the eyes and slightly dumb as to her conversational line, but that she looked amiable and healthy and as if she might make a good cook. The wonder of the thing is that these lovers’ flatteries are not per- juries, nor are the lovers insincere in saying what they do to each other. How they do it a cold and callous world does not know, but they do see in each other the charms and virtues they extol. THE thing that makes marriage so often a failure is that when these two*people get married they quit telling each other of their love and admiration, which they still feel. For marriage does not always disillusion men and women. Many husbands and wives never realize how fine are those they married until they live with them and see how bravely they meet the trials of life. But what does it matter to the husband if his wife regards him as & hero if she never tells him so? He hungers and thirsts for her praise. What matters it to the woman if her husband looks upon her as a saint if he never mentions it? She starves for the assurance that he still loves her and puts her above all other women. DEAR DOROTHY DIX—We are six girls, working in an office, and we have been having an argument about refinement. Will you tell us, if you can discern by merely looking at a person if he or she is refined? Is refinement judged by the outward appearance or by manner? If & rson is determined and has the means with which to accomplish it, can e or she acquire refinement? Is it fair to judge a person by his appear- ance? SIX GIRLS. Answer: I suppose you mean by refinement a certain delicacy in appearance and thought and action. This can express itself either by one’s appearance, or by one’s language and conduct, or by both. IT is not always possible to judge a person’s refinement by his or her appearance because this look of fineness may be merely the result of one's physical build or taste in dress. For instance, a woman might look refined because she was slight in figure and had on an artistic 3 simple and appropriate to the occasion, while inwardly she might be coarse and vulgar in her nature, even addicted to drink and vile language. On the other hand, a woman might be fat and blowzy and coarse and common-looking and dressed in loud and flamboyant clothes and yet be highly cultured and exquisitely refined in every instinct. Happily, refinement is one of the graces of life that can easily be acquired by any one who so desires. You can ennoble your wuf by thinking beautiful thoughts, you can cultivate your mind and heart, you can acquire gentle speech and exquisite manners, and you can learn how to dress. Eo there is no reason why any girl cannot become a refined lady if she wishes. And it is a fine and worthwhile ambition.

WH‘IN President Roosevelt, then President-elect, announced his in- tention of retaining the secretariat at the White House during his administra- tion, a great many political observers in Washington were surprised. The secretariat came into being at the Executive Man- slon during Mr. ‘Hoover's term. Be- fore that time Presidents had had just one secretary who attended to group that Mr. Hoover surrounded himself with drew some _criticism to the effect that the apparent lack of definite division of responsibility among Secretaries Richey, Newton and Joslin made for complications. President Roosevelt, however, ap- parently has distributed the duties of his_three secretaries—Howe, McIntyre and Early—in such a manner as to avoid criticism on those grounds. The President's secretary mnow is Howe. Mclntyre and Early are assist- ant secretaries. R This fact was brought out very| clearly when the bonus marchers of 1933 invaded Washington. Before their Witty Kitty ‘The girl chum says that even if the world does wear a path to your door you'll soon be assessed for its conver- sion into a cement highway. arrival no_one seemed to know what Col.

But it was Howe who stepped out and took charge of the bonus marchers. The complaint was heard during Hoover administration that one secre- gry"dldn‘:hll“yl know what the Pres- lent or other secretaries were doing routine matters. b3 One rather prominent person, for ex- ample, complained after a visit to the IWhiLe House that he had been shunted from one secretary to the other and had left finally without what he wanted., Under the ’phm followed by the Roose= velt secretariat, if, for example, an ine dividual thinks that he has a good rese son to see the President, he goes to Mc- Intyre.
