By EASLEY BLACKWOOD AT RUBBER bridge you simply
cannot evaluate the bidding and Jee
play of each hand as a separate entity—with the possible excep-| tion of the very first hand dealt; in a particular session. Every, subsequent hand is influenced by the “history” of the game—the; varying results of previous deals and their effect upon the score] and upon the players themselves. | In today’s hand my friend Mrs.| Keen continues her initiation into, rubber bridge play. Yesterday, having a partial score of 60, she doubled a rash opponent who at-| tempted to save the game by overcalling her two spade bid] with three clubs. That netted her 500 points. Partial scores not only drive your opponents into sometimes very disastrous contracts, their advantages go on from there. After taking several bad sets the enemy's morale is often lowered to the extent that they will “tighten up,” missing profitable partials and even games of their own.
MRS. KEEN was East and dealer in the hand shown above. Her hand is a minimum but a perfectly proper opening bid especially with so many cards in the majors. She bid a spade to which her partner correctly re-
sponded with one no trump. Now|
North with the history of the previous hand fresh in his mind, did not relish the possibility of another 500 set or worse. He passed and East bid two hearts. South had no chance to get into the bidding on his meager holding and two hearts became the contract which was made with an overtrick. Take another look at the North-South cards. You will see they are cold for five diamonds. Even if that contract were not reached, a bid of three or four diamonds would have been much more favorable than the actual . result. Bridge humanics are always in the picture, When you have your opponents intimidated, press your advantage hard.

Childhood Memories Are Deepest |
By ERNEST E. BLAU F YOU SIT BACK a minute and try to gather a handful of memories about things "that happened to you years ago—Ilittle things or big —you may be surprised how few they are, how elusive and hard to recapture. Women have more memories than men because life is more personal for women; they observe minutiae more closely and feel the impact of a lot of experience than men just brush off. But male or female, the human mind retains very little that doesn’t impress it, and nothing long that doesn’t. impress it rather deeply. So most of us find ourselves hop-skip-jumping right back across the years, hitting only a few high spots, until we've reached all the way back to the faint beacons that still burn on childhood’s dim and distant hill. . 878 » THAT'S where memories are most deeply grooved in men’s and women’s minds. So many things that happen - Eo a child happen for a lifeime. + Maybe you can't remember many details of that three weeks’ vacation you took five years ago—but you'll never forget that dinky little trip your father took you on down the bay when you were 10, and the smell of the steamer smoke and ding-donging of the buoys. You've been to dozens of banquets, dinners and parties—but the meal “you'll always remember is your mother’s Sunday dinners of stewed chicken ard little yellow dumplings and the Sunday homemade ice cream. » » ” THINK hard—how far back can you push your life? My earliest memory comes in at about four—making mud pies on a wooden step in Washington, D. C, and an inquisitive black kitten who smelled at them. My wife says she remembers, when she was 3 being bitten by her 2-year-old brother. Few people can remember farther
J Mrs. Hubert Mertz is the new
dred and fifty college girls recently were tested on their earliest memories. Most of them were unpleasant things —such as taking bitter medicine, practicing music, kissing relativés, being punished, being attacked by animals. There's a little boy in Tokyo who in years to come will have a memory. He will remember that his mother took him and his little sister Sachicto to a bridge over a river and said to him, “Push Sachicto off. If you don’t push Sachicto off, you don’t eat!” What could he do, this little boy of 7T—this some day tragic old man of T70—but obey?

YOUR MANNERS—
SITUATION: You have invited several guests for dinner.
WRONG WAY: Time your meal so that you plan to sit down to the table five or 10 minutes ,after the hour you asked your guests to arrive. RIGHT WAY: Allow yourself some time between the ‘ime the guests are expected to arrive and dinner is to be served. This will keep you from getting in a dither if any of the guests are a few minutes late, and will give the guests the feeling that their hostess is relaxed and unhurried. = . » SITUATION: You answer the telephone and the call is for .your husband who is not at home. WRONG WAY: Bay, “Who is this speaking?” RIGHT WAY: Say that he jsn’'t at home and ask if you may have him call back.

A DISH that's as economical
as it is delicious comes con-
veniently packed in a jar ready |
to be heated and served. chicken ’'n’ noodles cooked in
It's |
southern style and made with |
man-size pieces of fowl. Distinctive part of the concoction is the fact that the chicken is cooked right in the jar, thereby seailng the flavor in and retaining the bone broth as well as the fat. One jar of the combination serves two persons generously and makes an adequate main dish. Combined with leftover peas, carrots, corn or linfa beans, one jar can be extended to serve a family. Another tasty way to do the extending is a topping of dressing over the -chicken-noodle combination, Place the jar's contents in a casserole, dressing over that and then bake in a -moderate oven until the dressing is crusty. A jar of the product is a handy addition to a “jiffy” shelf.
