{ Solution to Previous \ Contract Problem BY WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary HINGS did not look promising * for South when the trump suit failed to break in todal’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, went’ 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 required 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 ace in the closed hand, and

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, A 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. t (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

So indicates a survey conducted &t the college residence hall for women at the Oklahoma A. & M. College. Twenty girls answered a questionnaire. The cost range of the shoes was $3.62 to $4.58 for the group. Added to that was the cost of keeping the shoes in repair. When college girls attend classes—these, at any rate— they wear what is known as a “sensible” shoe, one that .is generally a sports oxford with a low, broad heel and a comparatively broad toe. More than half of the group had galoshes for rain or snow, and each had at least one pair of bedroom slippers. }

Plain Omelet Is Basis for Many Dishes

Varieties Appropriate for Serving at Any Meal.

By NEA Service . You can beat an omelet—yes, indeed!—but you'll fry a long time to find any other dish that beats it for the number of ways in which it can be varied. ; 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

Use one egg for each person to be 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 breakfast 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 2: 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 boiling, into omelet mixture before cooking. Season corn weil with butter and a tablespoonful or two of cream.

Bacon Omelet

Cook bacon until¥€risp and break into tiny pieces. Add to omelet mixture before coeking. 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. Serve with a milk and apple sauce and cookies.

Cheese Omelet

Serve this with grilled tomatoes, cauliflower 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.

When the omelet is put in-the |

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 mincéd chives. Fold and serve. :

Coiffures Elaborate

With a feeling for aristocratic elegance has come a renaissance in coiffures. Neither arty nor hard, yet more ‘elaborate and more individual are styles in hair dressing and most of these arrangements are designed for jeweled ornaments or fresh flowers.

Etiquette By PATRICIA.

ESTAURANT ETIQUETTE—A woman should follow the head waiter and her male escort follows her. He checks his hat and coat at the 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 §it 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 the man. MENU CARD—FRENCH—A 1]a carte means according to the bill of fare on which each dish is peiced 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 of beef 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 think of the children’s eyes and teeth or adenoids and tonsils. Also any physical condition that doesn't se to be up to par. ‘It is very hard to have corrective work done after school begins, because 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.

Rring Relief Instead of Worry

It is a first-class idea to have all children checked by a doctor ab least once a year, anyway. It is worth it to any mother to know her child is sound and 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 IT 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 knowl= edge 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 ev=" erything is fine and you're just that must ahead. Let us hope that’s the way it is. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)
