Grass kind of got out of hand at times owing to the persistent rains and chilly days, but we will appreciate the moisture later on. I have two new snowballs ready to bloom soon, and can hardly wait. One sees lots of tulips blooming now.

By ALFRKI) SHEINWOU) When you hold of a suit and an opponent opens the king of that suit, yon play low casually. If the opponent continues with (he suit (hoping that his partner has the ace or jack), you gel two tricks instead of just one.

This play, the Hath Coup, may be made with lower cards late in a hand. West leads the queen of clubs, and South sees that he is in danger of losing three hearts and a diamond. East clearly has all of the missing hearts, and will get three tricks in that suit Miss Sandra McCormick Will Marry Robert Wecse Mr. and Mrs. Herschel McCormick of 4.805 Storeyland are announcing the engagement of their daughter, Sandra Sue, to Robert Lee Weese, son of Mr.

From Gourmet Cookbook Celebrity Recipes GOV. JOHN DEMPSEY of Connecticut, or Quonektacat, as the Indians used to call it a few hundred years ago, has a cherished formula which he is pleased to pass on. The governor calls his favorite, "Down East Casserole," and has been known to offer it at official dinners. From the earliest days in America's history, folks along the Eastern Seaboard have been great fish fanciers, much more so than other coastal regions. Descendants of the first settlers have held to this tradition, un- Ul today, the various of England represent that sec-lion of the United States more authentically than even the iamed Boston Baked Beans.

For inlanders, haddock is usually available frozen and may be used with no loss of flavor. Strain the water the fish was boiled in, and save it for the sauce.

Declarer the first trick in dummy with the ace of clubs, ruffs a club, and draws three rounds of trumps.

It would be a mistake to lead the hearts al once. South must first gel the diamonds out of the way. South leads the king of diamonds, and East takes the ace and returns the suit. South takes his two diamond tricks and is ready lo play hearts. TAKES ACE South leads a low heart and.

plays the king from dummy. East's best play is to lake the ace and return the jack of hearts. declarer wins the dummy with the queen, he will eventually lose two more heart tricks to the ten and eight. Declarer makes the contract by refusing to lake the jack of hearts. It is a Balh Coup situation.

If East leads another heart, dummy gets a trick with the nine as well as with the queen. East cannot gain by leading a different suit because then dummy will rulf while South gets rid of a losing heart. Either way, South is sure to make the contract.

This now system of propagating takes elaborate equipment and is costly to install, but the end result will be that, in some years from now we will be able lo buy, not cheaper plants, but much belter plants for the same money.

Mr. Clausen: We have a drainage ditch lhat goes through part of our property, and on lop of the bank there arc holes 2 lo 2 inches wide that have dirt piled up around them. Would you know what makes these holes? Also, would yon please tell me what kind of groundcover this is thai I am enclosing? call it an "aristocratic week" because people like it and il grows so fast.

II must be related lo the milk weed, as a substance like milk comes out when it is broken. I hope you can identify this plant as so many people have asked what if is. II was given lo me by a lady who said a man in St. Louis had it by his R. L.

Crawdads belong near a creek bank where litlle boys can hunt for them. They do no harm there unless you want to keep the grass cut along the ditch.

The plant you sent belongs to one of the biggest families in Ihe plant kingdom, namely Euphorbia, also called Spurge.

The other children have not been so wonderful and I have not done the same for them. Yesterday the two older boys and their wives came to tell me that I should slop giving away their money. According to them, any money I have belongs to the estate and they plan to share in it.

When I told them I wasn't dead yet my daughter-in-law piped up, "II won'l be long now."

Our 16-year-old daughler has some awfully cute girl friends.

They sometimes spend the night at our home which is fine with me. I'm pleased our daughter has sudi fine friends. The problem Is my husband. He just can't keep his hands off the young girls. I have seen him pull them on his lap and beg for hugs and kisses.

The poor things don't know what to do or say. On two occasions I spoke to my husband (privately, of course) and he tore into me like a wildcat. He insists that I am evil-minded and jealous and that he is just being falherly. 1 asked him how HE would like it if the fathers of these prls pawed HIS daughter. He said I was crazy and lhat I ought to see a doctor.

If Dunk n.y husband is right please say so. If you think I am right I'd appreciate your support. N.M. DEAR N.M.: You are right. If that 8-handed lothario thinks he's being fatherly, suggest that he talk to a physician who has some good psychiatric orientation.

He may learn a thing or two. CONFIDENTIAL TO STILL JN WITH HIM: Keep quiet. What you have in mind is a diabolical scheme that will not diminish the man one iota.

A Lovelier You Rearview Mirror By MARY SUE MILLER Most males raise an amused eyebrow at the way most females look in pants.

All too often the sight is more laughable than amusing. As an instance, I give you the character with an overupholslered derriere in tight stretch pants. You'd think by now we would have learned how to wear trousers. We've been in them for several decades. Let's study the subject.

Betler lale than never! First off there is so much variety in the styling of new pants that individual flattery is implicit. Whether in stretch or rigid fabrics, the fit of pants is eased. The release in ranch, stovepipe and tapered styles is gentle, but there. Bell botloms flare from a lillle lo a lot. Tailored trousers, often cuffed, hang To select the becoming version, all you have to do is take a long look in a long mirror from every angle.

Then eliminate the styles that either squeeze the figure or hang baggy on it. Once you've got the trousers, give thought to the topper you team with them. Mis-mated, pants become as incongruous as when misfitted. Twill ranch pants, for instance, call for a cotton poor-boy sweater or voile (very new) workman's shirt, never a haller top. Bell bottoms and middies are naturals.

Not so the. straight duck trousers and the ruffled nothing that goes with sundown patio pajamas. As always, the charm of fashion is in the wearing. HIP REDUCING ROUTINES You can diet until you becomt feather-light and still be hip-heavy. Reduction In the hlpline is assured only by exercise.

For a set of quick and effective ones, send for my leaflet, "Hip Reducing Routines." MIRROR OF YOUR MIND Should salesmen do most of the talking? Answer: Usually not; many hard workers have failed as salesmen because they did most of the talking. This practice loses many sales. By encouraging prospective buyers to talk, salesmen become aware of their needs before offering their wares. A competent buyer knows what he wants; hence a windy sales talk usually has a negative effect. It uses up valuable time, arouses irritation, and often causes a receptive buyer to change his mind.

Do fighters really get punch-drunk? Answer: Yes, this affliction is known as encephalopathy; which simply means any disease of the brain. This condition is usually caused by a succession of minor brain injuries, and symptoms increase gradually over the years. As a rule the punch-drunk fighter is unable to concentrate, to talk clearly, or to coordinate his movements. In the ring he seems slightly intoxicated. If bis injuries are mild, he usually recovers and lives to fight another day.

Are college requirements getting tougher? Answer: Very much so; especially in the East where 56.1 per cent of the colleges are classified as competitive. They reject some applicants with a or even an average. Five years ago only 39.2 per cent of these colleges were competitively oriented. A study by Gene R. Hawes, former editor of the College Board Review, shows that loday's U.S.

colleges throughout the country are 23.4 per cent competitive; compared with a 16.5 rating in I960..
