No home maker can have discovered all the best ways of using up the small amounts of food that are constantly remaining from some of the three meals a day. There's| always the chance that she may find something new in the ideas that are presented. So, after all, the subject may be “always new” to a certain de- ree. | s One reason why the matter of utiliz-| ing left-overs needs to be brought to| mind occasionally is because there is a tendency to become careless and so to| revert to the pre-war state of house- hold affairs. Americans then were said to be the most wasteful of all peoples in when the matter was graphically wives could become experts in food thrift. Let us hold fast to this enviable fame. | The ways of using remaining food fact that here we are glad to try new dishes. There is no country in the world where the variety of dishes can compare with those in America. Novelty is the cry even in food preparation. The housewife can put| all sorts of odds and ends into salads, for instance, and they are delicious to our appetites. Even in France no such combinations are considered for a, moment. The soup pot is another mixing kettle where many different bits and left- ful savory broth, chowders, purees. bisque, etc. Sour cream is often added to soups In Russia, and here we may have something novel to try. Also beets are made into soups, and pumpkin and squash are other vegetables not so com- monly added to soup stocks here as in foreign countries. Casserole dishes can be made de- liclous by combining odds and ends of left-overs. Put in some onion, parsley, a bit of celery and season well after combining the other ingredients. Cover tightly and oven steam until the various flavors are incorporated into one tasty dish. - Escalloped dishes are others in which all sorts of meat and vegetables can be put together. These can be in layers alternating with bread crumbs, rice or macaroni. It is wise to cover the top with bread or cracker crumbs seasoned and well dotted with butter, so that the dish looks good to serve with its crisp brown top. With so many excellent ways of utilizing left-overs, novelty can be instilled although the ingredients may ays new!” comes to mind when I think of writing on left-overs. The sub- BEAUTY CHATS There are certain skin blemishes which no woman should tolerate. Some of them, unfortunately, she cannot cure herself. If a birthmark is unsightly, it will_have to be removed by a skin specialist. Practically all birthmarks can be. If it is a mole or wart on the face, physician can take it off. Never atiempt to remove any of these your- self, for unless they are properly han- dled blood poisoning can result. On the other hand, there are any number of facial blemishes which you can treat quite easily. There are, of course, lots of freckle lotions that can be used when freckles become too nu- merous or too unsightly. All hairs can be pulled out. The skin should be rubbed with peroxide first and when the hairs have been pulled the skin sho once more be rubbed with peroxide. Personally, I think this is much the best treatment for superfluous hair, for in the end if you keep on pulling the hairs out and treating them so, the growth will become weakened, and the hairs even- tually will die. However, if the growth has become so thick and the hairs are 50 long and coarse that you hesitate to treat them yourself, have them re- moved by the multiple electric needle method. Some will come back, but if you watch them you can pull them out as I suggested. Meantime the peroxide discourages the fine down that often disfigures the upper lip. Lots of blemishes are temporary. Large brown patches appear on the skin be- cause of some trouble of the liver or kidneys. Internal treatments will remedy this. Deep gray or purplish shadows under the eyes are almost always due uld | normal position: be similar. (Copyright. 1928.)

Anything which stimu- lates the skin makes it throw off blem- ishes. Odd red marks which have no apparent cavse sometimes stay months and disappear of themselves. Mrs. W.

WASHINGTON, D. 0. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1928 WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. S, Patent Office. When the fish-walk, the bunny-hug, the lame-duck and the maxixe were the popular dances in the Washington balirooms? BY D. C. PEATTIE. The hibernal avifauna, as the ornithologists say (which means in plain English the Winter birds) that we have in the District of Columbia is, 1 suppose, lacking in thrill to an or- nitholoy Horned larks and Lap- land larkspurs are rare, and snowflakes practically urknown. Once in a blue Winter moon somebody catches sight of a Hudsonian curlew migrating down Chesapeake Bay, and a few bad Win- ters have driven Arctic owls and three- toed woodpeckers and such into our limits. To the idea of the emateur and the indifferently bad ornithologist, like my- self, the principal bird arrivals at this season are the juncos and the chicadecs. Actually, their presence could be demon- strated here, in some quantity at least, at any time excepts perhaps the middle of Summer, and the same is true of the woodpeckers, tufted titmice and other birds that become conspicuous in Winter by the absence of Summer birds. But I for one will hold a brief for the junco and the chickadee. In all the world there is no braver sight than these little fellows as they flit, cheeping and twittering, through the leafless bushes. Let November bluster; it can- not hurt these little fellows. Let the skies be gray, they are not so fine a gray as the plumage of these fat little fellows. Surely that they are common is no plea against them, but rather the contrary. Horned larks may be rare, but, being rare, how many eyes do they gladden or sad hearts cheer? Home in Good Taste BY SARA HIL While skirted dressing tables have always been considered very deco- rative pieces of furniture, they were never thought of as being especially practical, for the tops only were use- ful, the skirts covering a table or box foundation. No one could complain of lack of space in a skirted dressing table, like that shown in the illustration, how- ever, for beneath its ruffled skirt are eight sliding tray drawers and eight shelves. And how cleverly the shelves are built into the swinging front por- tions of the table. These little shelves have just enough of a little wooden railing to keep articles from falling out; and, if desired, this might be of glass in order that the articles may be easily identified. The drawers are spacious enough to hold a large suply of silk and linen apparel and the pockets are just right for gloves, neckwear and hosiery. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Stewed Prunes.

Straight Talk to the Girl With a Mercenary View of Marriage. [DFAR DOROTHY DIX: The othet] day you had an article about the i who is sweet away- from home and sour at home. Perhaps she had a home and a mother and father like mine. Perhaps she was constantly nagged at nnd tyrannized over and treated with no consideration or respect. 1 am 24 years old 1 pay my board at home, but the way I am treated there polsons my whole life. 1t has come to a point where we do not speak, but that is a relfef, as it ix only in this way that I can be rid of the constant fault-finding. Belleve me, If I | hadn't the ability to be genial and sociable and Jolly when I am away from the house—I cannot call it home—I would be in the mad house. So be pitiful to the girl who is sour at home. There may be a reason for it. A DAILY READER. Answer: Undoubtedly there are parents and children who fust naturally antagonize each other. Sometimes it is because they are too much alike. Some- times it is bee: .se they haven't a single idea, or thought, or taste in common, I know a father and daughter who fight like cat and dog because the girl is, as Pncle Remus used to say, “just his spit and image.” Both are argumenta- tive, Both are highly prejudiced. Both are inflexible in their opinions. Both are utterly iacking in tact and diplomacy. As a result, when the girl, who represents one generation, comes into conflict with her father, who balongs to another generation, the fur simply fiies and the innocent bystander takes to the tall timber. Both this father and girl are | splendid people, but they can't get along together because they are too much alike in character, 1 know a mother and daughter who are in a perpetual wrangle and who get on each other’s nerves because an old hen has hatched out a swan and she can't understand for the life of her why the swan takes to the water, so she stands on the bank and clucks angrily at her and tries to make her come back on the safe, dry land. The swan, whose native habitat is water, can't comprehend what mother hen is so scared about, and why she nags her so about doing the thing Nature created her to do, and which she is perfectly safe in doing. Of course, it is very sad when parents and children are antagonistic, and when they fail to get all the sweetness and happiness out of the relationship that should exist between them, but the wise thing to do is just to accept the | fact that they can't live together peaceably, and to separate. Living in strife will wreck anybody's nerves and ruin dispositions, and it is idiotic to do it when all they have to do is to put on their hats and go around | the corner. Generally after they separate the members of a family who have | hated each other at close range get to be actually fond of each other. DOROTHY DIX. CEEE | DEAR MISS DIX: Will love in my youth affect my Lappiness in later years, should I decide to marry? I love this young man, but I am not going to marry him, because he is poor and I prefer a life of ease as an old man's darling. 1 have known poverty and I have seen other people’s love go on the rocks because there was not enough money to pull it through the ruts. I, therefore, deem it necessary that money be the largest factor when in the market for a husband and am going to marry a man 29 years older than myself.

It only means that a marital knot has been tled; that a lady and gentleman have pledged the: selves to love, honor and obey—h'm! that they are seeking the freedom of Mexican marriage laws to avoid the three-day announcement of intention to wed which is California’s latest stum- bling block to burning romance. Evelyn Brent and Harry Edwards merely proved themselves thoroughly conventional in hurrying to Agua Cali- ente for their ceremony. The only way to be original in Movieland now is to make your announcement three days beforehand and listen to the felicita- tions of 50,000 well meaning bores. Lina Basquette and Pevergll Marley have done just that. Every one in the colony has known of their romance for ages, yet they reserved public announce- ment of it for the period just before the wedding. Their published statement says the wedding will be after Christmas. Ru- mor credits it will be next week. Ru- mor seems to know all in Hollywood. And published statements are Issued just to make things perplexing for every one concerned, The first storles of this romance posi- tively implied that Lina Basquette would not announce an engagement to Marley until he had graduated into the role of a director. But love laughs at locksmith's three- day laws and studio castes. Cecil De Mille is being called “Cupid” these days. He is fathering romance in fine fashion. He was best man yes- terday at the wedding of an employe. He will stand up with Peverel Marley at the latter’s wedding to Lina Bas- quette. ‘William De Mille cheated “Cupid” by being married to Clara Beranger on a train just over the border. Miss Ber- anger was returning from the East, and William De Mille flew down and board- ed the Pullman with a ministe: in ¢ = hand and a wedding ring in the other. De Mille's country place, Paradise, 30 miles out of Hollywood, is being overrun by deer—the four-footed va- riety, even if this is that wild movie town they tell so much about.

Laook what's here ‘iss mornin’, Baby! Snow! Snow!! Christmas goin’ to come before yer know it! (Copyright, 1928.) BRIDGE TALK BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE. JR. In the last talk we discussed the auc- tion, explaining in detail how a player ‘becomes the declarer. The next move- ment in the game is the piay, which is started after the auction for the privi- lege of naming the declaraiion is closed. The play begins with a lead by the adversary on declarer's left, the one who leads selecting one of his 13 cards and plaeing it face up in the center of the table. Rules governing proper A‘,.‘llr‘:is to be lead will be given in a later talk. The partner of the declarer, called the dummy, then places Lis hand face up on the table, not exposing any of the cards until after the lcad is made. Exposure prior to the lead would give gratuitous Information to the leader, which might be advantageous to him. Many persons will tell you to always put your trumps on the table, but no other cards, before a lead is made. This is wrong. To play correctly, do not put any card face up on the table until the lead has been definitely made. The first lead is called the “blind” lead, because dummy is not exposed when the card is played. The laws of the game allow dummy to place his cards on the table in any order he chooses, but declarer then has the right to rearrange as he may see fit. It is customary for dummy to alternate the red and black suits as he puts them down; and when there is a trump, to put the cards of the crump suit on dummy'’s right. ‘When the dummy's 13 cards are ex- posed, it is the turn of that hand to play. But its owner does not play it. It is played by the declar>r, who thus dummy’s hand and his cwn, with a common purpose. After the original lead by the adver- sary, and after dummy has exposed his cards, the careful declarer stops for a moment to plan how best he can play the two hands together. In other words, he plans his campaign. A de- scription of how he should plan is not vel due, as we are not concerned now with bidding or playing methods, but are merely explaining the mechanics of the game. It is important for the inexperienced player to understand that if declarer touch a card in dummy, that card is played and cannot be recalled. This is easy to remember in these words, touched card is always a played card.” ‘The law which covers this point was drafted to sharpen up the play and pre- vent the delays and confusion which are liable to ensue when a niayer draws one card out of dummy, puts it back, and then draws out another. Because of this law, the declarer should do his preliminary planning before and not after he touches a card in dummy. For any player who has acquired this habit, I would suggest that he sit on his right hand while planning his campaign, thereby probably making an extra trick as the result of not playing his first card too hurriedly. We will continue the discussion of the laws and rules as to exposed cards in the next talk. Another bridge talk will appear in next Tuesday's Star. s, ce will answer queries in Muy regard 1o bridee problems. . Address your letters in care of e Star.

As a child this woman had a noor | caough life. Her parents were menders of chairs. Poverty was with them every- where. The little girl never knew a word of affection. « Her only friends were street urchins. Often the boys teased her. Parents did not like to have their children play with the bare- footed girl in such a disreputable trade as_chair-mending. Once a kind woman gave her a few pennies. She saved them most care- fully—until one day she met the boy. Chonquet, weeping bitterly because one of his playmates had stolen two precious pennies from him. His tears touched her. She approached him, bowing, ask- | ing the cause of his brief. Learning, she gave him all her savings. ‘The boy accepted the sacrifice with- out hesitation and dried his eyes.

Whatever the explanation, for months she could dream of nothing but those | few moments with Chonquet when she made him happy with her pennies and kissed him, ! She sought continually to find him, to be with him or just to look at him. When she saw him again she could not resist almost smothering him with kisses. He cried aloud in protest this time, and to pacify him she gave him | all_ her money. It was 3 francs! A real gold mine, indeed, at which he stared incredulously. Following this he let her caress him | |as much as she wished. During the | next four years she placed in his hands every penny she could save, which he pocketed in exchange for Kkisses. It varied from a dozen pennies to 2 francs. When it was so-little as 12 pennies she apologized, saying it had been a poor year. Next year she was lucky enough to have 5 francs, all in one coin, and she joyously offered it to make up for the poor offering before. Her only thought now was for this boy. She lived only to present him with her savings. Then he went away to boarding school, and for two years she did not see him. When she did see him again she hardly recognized him—he was so changed, so tall and so ‘handsome in his uniform with its brass buttons. He pretended not to know her and passed her without a glance. S’ e wept, for two days, and ever after that suffered and loved until the end. ‘Whenever he returned she w. 1ld pass him, not daring to lift her eyes to his face. He never condescended to ac- knowledge her presence or to admit that he had ever known her. Yet she loved him madly—hopelesslv. She_said to me: “That is the only man I ever saw, really. I don’t even know that other men exist.” Her parents died. She went on with the lowly work of mending chairs for a living, alwavs saving as much as she could—in case Chonquet should ever recognize her again. One day she saw Chonquet cominz out of his drug store with a lady on his arm. That lady was Chonquet’s wife. So overcome with grief was the chair- mender that she jumped in the river that night. But a drunkard, passing by, happened to see her, and pulled her out. He took her to the pharmacy to be revived, and Chonquet was called to restore her. But he did not recognize her—he did not seem to, at any rate. He re- proached her for her foolish act. Hear- ing his voice made her happy, however. She insisted on paying him for his trouble. All her life passed much like this: She worked, thinking always of Chon- quet. She began to buy drugs from him, just so that she could be addin; to his profits, though she had no nee of the medicines, In this way she was MOTHERS AND THEIR CHH.DRI Crossing Busy Streets.

When it drew near the | school time I knew that unless he was| more careful I would be constantly wor- rying about him going to school alone, i so I adopted a method which proved to be a good one. I told him that now he was such a big boy he should look out for me and see that I did not get run over while crossing the street. So now he looks in all directions and helps me across, hesitating when there is any and he has so formed the habit of caution when we are together that he is ever so much more careful when | he is by himself. ‘ ONDERFUL, how Oriental Show-You Sauce makes everyday f —meats, fish, gravi bright new taste.
