There are bake shops and other food businesses with the same origin. Now that fewer and fewer people go in for old-fashioned home-cooked meals, there are endless schemes that a woman with a special flair for cooking might“turn to profit. Just look at the advertising pages of most of our magazines and see the number of mail-order businesses selling home-made jams, preserves, pickles, sausages, soups, salad dressings, and a dozen other things. ! In the cities, deliver-at-home * casseroles, private catering enterprises, and food specialties of all sorts and varieties bring in good profits. All this is true of other types of homecrafts — needlepoint, knitting, quilting, making beautiful bedjackets or luncheon mats, rugmaking, dressing or making dolls—the possibilities are endless.

He decided to let the enemy suit—and that turned out to be the key play on the hand. Mrs. Keen led the queen of clubs and her partner's king held the first trick.
