JANE JORDAN—What happens to women at 407?

What mysterious force takes hold of a sweet, loving, adorable woman and transforms her into an irritating,

carping, hard-boiled shrew? My good friend George is

a successful lawyer. He met

Dolly at a college dance and she was a knock-out... Things went along swell for years, but now 1 see murder in their eyes. George is highly educated, well-informed, and the soul of diplomacy, but Dolly never

Yet Mildred is always popping off in public

ANSWER—Unless you imply that the hard-boiled forties are going to turn into kissable sixties and seventies, you have defeated your own “argument that 40 is a, bad turning point in a woman's life, for you admit

that age can be as lcvely as yout

h. It is not the 40-year mark that

affects these women but simply their method of reacting to a situation.

The germs of their discontent were

present in the beginning and needed

only time and circumstance to develop them,

Take George and Dolly. In the beginning she thought well of

herself for having attracted a superior man. The fact that he preferred her raised her self-esteem to a fine pitch, but in the years of living with ‘George she discovered she wasn't his all in life and "the fact that he got all the admiration began to bite into her soul. You have no idea how many times George unconsciously made her ‘feel like a worm by grabbing the spotlight without ever letting his part-

‘ner take the bow with him. Even

a worny will turn. Instead of suc-

ceeding in her own sphere (she even failed to equal George in the femii nine field of dress) she tries to make herself feel big by making George

feel little. With all his diplomacy wife's need to feel important.

Harry would have done well to let Mildred have her own money to do with as she would instead of putting himself in the position of benefactor to

PLAYS FOR DOUBLE BREAK

Today’s Contract Problef

South is playing the hand at: three no trump. He can count 10 tricks, if both red suits are divided equally between the opponents. Should he win the first club trick, or hold off until East has no more in that suit?

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WILLIAM E. MKENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary. HINGS did not look pro nising for South when the trump suit failed to break in today’s hand. He had needed not only a trump break. but a successful finesse and favorable distribution of a third suit to make his contract. Failing all three, it appeared that he would have to go down. However, South, mentally berating himself for his optimism, wen to work to make the best of it. The way in which he found a path out of his difficulties is interesting. While South held several aces and kings, his distribution was unfavorable for a slam, if the best response North could find to his opening bid was a mere raise of one. North felt that, when South forced him by a jump bid in a new suit, his partnership obligation re-

quired him to show his diamond

tricks, as he had, a maximum holding for his raise. But he might well have passed South's next bid of five hearts because he was without length in any suit, and with no chance to ruff, because of the 4-3-3-3 hand pattern. The opening lead was won with the acelin the closed hand, and

East

North 2 ‘Pass

the ace of hearts dropped the jack. Another lead of trump left East with a high trump. The contract now seemed impossible, but South did not give up. He entered dummy with a diamond to take the spade finesse, and when this won, he took two more rounds of spades. The last high diamond was cashed, and the losing diamond in dummy was ruffed in the closed - hand. Declarer then cashed the remaining high club and led a heart, placing East in the lead. The contract was made because East had only diamonds, and so gave South a ruff and a discard to assure his 12 tricks. The slim chance that - East might have the spade king and West five clubs was all South had, but he played for that chance and won. (Copyright. 1936, NEA Service, Ine.)

Plain Omielet Is Basis for

Many Dishes

Serving at Any Meal

By NEA Service . = © You can beat an omelet—yes, indeed!—but you'll try a long time to firid any other dish that beats it for the number of ways in which it can be varied. di Think of the list: Plain omelet, mushroom omelet, Spanish omelet, bacon omelet, cheese omelet, jelly omelet. With its many variations, the ‘omelet is equally appropriate for breakfast, luncheon, dinner or a late supper. It has the added virtues of being palatable and nutritious. Omelets have just one drawback, and that is that they must be served

as soon as they are prepared. You can’t cook an omelet and expect it

‘| to wait 10 or 15 minutes before it’s

eaten and remain the tender, fluffy thing it was when it left the pan. Here is the recipe for plain omelet, the foundation for all the others.

Plain Omelet

served and one egg for the pan. Use one tablespoon of hot water for each egg. Water makes a more tender omelet than milk. So for four people you would use: Five eggs, five tablespoons hot water, one teaspoon salt, few grains pepper. Separate yolks from whites. of eggs. Add water to yolks and beat until thick and lemon colored, using a rotary beater. Beat in half the salt and all the pepper. Beat whites of eggs on a platter with a wire whisk, beating in remaining salt. Beat until stiff. Fold in yolks of eggs and pour gently into a well greased omelet pan or spider and cook slowly until the underside is a delicate brown. Then put the pan in a moderate oven (325 to 350 degrees F.) and bake until firm to the touch. Then fold and slide on' to a hot platter. ' If you are giving a party break%ast a sweetbread and mushroom omelet is perfect for the affair. Make a rich cream sauce, using 1 tablespoon flour to 2 tablespoons butter and one cup milk. - When the sauce thickens add 3 cup diced sweetbreads which have been parboiled and 2 cup mushrooms which have been sauted. Just before you fold the omelet, spread with the sauce. Corn omelet is a splendid luncheon dish. Stir -one cup corn, cut’ from cob after hoiling, into omelet mixture before cooking. Season corn well with butter and a tablespoonful or two of cream.

Bacon Omelet

Cook bacon until crisp and break Add to omelet mixture before cooking. One slice of bacon to an egg is a good proportion to use. This is good for breakfast or it makes an excellent luncheon dish for children. Setve with ‘a milk and apple sauce and cookies.

Cheese Omelet

Serve this with grilled tomatoes, caulifiower in cream sauce or broccoli with Hollandaise sauce. It is good for dinner with a hearty dessert, or, without the vegetables, you will like it for a late supper.

oven to finish cooking, sprinkle the top generously with grated cheese. Fold and serve as usual. Cottage Cheese Omelet : Before you fold the omelet spread with a generous layer of rich cottage cheese. Sprinkle with minced chives. Fold and serve.

> Etiquette ——-By PATRICIA

RETA RANT ETIQUETTE—A : womd4n should follow the head waiter and her male escort follows her. He checks his hat and coat at ihe entrance and the woman may leave her wraps with his things or she may take them to the table. The waiter always pulls out the choice seat for the lady, and she should take it unless she prefers another, in which case she stands beside the other chair saying, “I'll sit here.” Sometimes the man orders without consulting his partner but usually he offers suggestions from which she may choose. The order to the waiter is given by thé man. MENU CARD—FRENCH—A Ila carte means according to the bill of fare on which each dish is priced separately. A la mode means according to the style. Bouillon is a clear soup. Entree is a dish served as one course—usually between two main courses, but sometimes the first course. Filet mignon is small pieces ofbeef served with sauce. Hors d'oeurvres are preliminary appetizers. : Table d’hote is a dinner at hotel or restaurant with a set menu and a set price for the meal.

Now Is Time for Check on Child's Health

Trip to Doctor Before School Advised by Expert.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

This is the time of year to thin of the children's eyes and teeth or adenoids and tonsils. Also any physical condition that doesn’t s to be up to par. It is very hard to have corrective work done after school begins, be: cause days missed early in the term are pretty serious affairs, Furthermore, if anything radical has to be done, it is just as well to let John or Mary recuperate at

,| leisure before they buckle down to

work. : i + Bring Relief Instead of Worry

It is a first-class idea to have all children checked by a doctor at least once a year, anyway. It is worth it to any mother to know her child is sound ard well and that her secret worry about - Charles’ kidneys or Malcolm's head jerk have no foundation at all. Actually it is the other way. If we could weigh all the mental relief that comes out of the examiners’ offices by the pound, it would exceed all the pills and doses in the drug store. :

But if there is a little trouble somewhere, it is well to do some= thing about it. In many places the schools provide doctors for general check-ups on mouth, throat and weight, but this is not done every= where. I- believe New York State leads in this respect. Even so, every child's own doctor knows his history, his tendencies and inheritance. It never hurts to get his opinion. And sometimes before school opens ‘I think it wise to do this,” if possible,

Have Eyes and Ears Examined

Eyes are so important I would never let any doubt rest until I had satisfied myself that they could take the strain of blackboard and books, And ears rank astonishingly high, too, in the causes given for low grades and perplexity in school work. : ; Adenoids come next, after eyes and ears, as an enemy of knowledge because they affect health and mental alertness. As for tonsils, if badly infected, they need treatment or removal and this is one of the things that should be done in plenty of time before the bell rings, If the child is “O. K.” then everything is fine and you're just that must ahead. Let us hope that’s the way it is. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)
