Sausage Fat

I'm glad to see you pour off the sausage fat when it accumu- lates in the pan, Chef."

“Ah, oui, Madame. It to good to use for frying potatoes, or to season cabbage, kale or turnip greens. After all, the sausage fat is just as valuable as the nient. It costs just as much,"

JACOBY ON BRIDGE]

Expert Lesson On Object of Bidding

By OSWALD JACOBÝ

THE hand shown today will seem like wheer insanity to some of my readers.

Curiously enough; those are the very readers who are in need of the lesson taught by the hand.

The average bridge player thinks that the object of bidding is to get to a contract that you can make. The expert knows better,

The wwe object of billing is to win as many points as possible with good cards and to lose as law polots an possible with bad cards,

The question of who plays the hand isaldo stile.

For example, take today's "knmane" hand. South was Richard L., Frey. one of the all-time great bride players. What's more, tie was playing its hard a ho knew how, since the hand took place in a pational championship tournament.
