WOMAN’S PAGE. How to Serve "THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 192 FEATURES.' Buffet Supper BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A buffet supper can be served a large company without any apparent bother about it, as, indeed, there will not be except in the preparation of the dishes and the setting of the table attractively. No servants are needed, though they can be helpful if one prefers to have them. ‘The dining table may be simply or elaborately set. The more attractively the food is prepared on the dishes the SERVING ONESELF AS DESCRIBED IS CONDUCIVE TO SOCIABILITY. more it will appeal to every one, for all come to the table to help themselves to whatever they wish. Every one has @& chance to admire the setting. The hostess invites the guests to the dining room and asks them to provide themselves with knives and forks as they enter. These are on a small table by the door. Then she directs them to the table, where all service silver is by the respective dishes. She asks them to help themselves to plates (on the table) and to the viands. A friend, who as- sists, pours coffee at one end of the table. or at a side table. . ‘While the guests are helping them- selves to edibles the hostess returns to the living room and sets up as many card tables or others. as will be needed for the company, covering each one with a dainty cloth. On guests re- entering, the scene is festive with ta- , each having a centerpiece of flowers, fruit or bonbons. No seats are assigned, the guests grouping them- selves as they choose. They are re- quested to refill their plates as often baked ham and bologna, all on one platter, garnished with parsley; potato croquettes in another serving dish, with salad of dressed lettuce in a bowl. A potato salad may combine both the last two dishes. There should be cranberry jelly, pickles, olives and salted nuts, hot but- tered rolls and coffee. The guests, in returning for the sec- ond course, which is now ready on a side table, take the plates from the first course and leave them in the din- ing room. The second course may be ice cream and fancy cakes, Spanish cream and cakes, or French pastry, plum pdding with foamy sauce, or any referred dessert, hot or cold, that the 0stess would serve at a formal dinner. The coffee can be served with the meal, as it is a supper, or guests can have black coffee with their dessert if they prefer. More courses can be pre- pared which may be simpler in them- selves or more elaborate, as the hostess elects, but a two-course supper is ad- vised, as it is one in which the self- service is accomplished without any confusion, such as might occur when constant trips back and forth between the living room and dining room are necessary.

CREAMED SHRIMPS WITH GREEN PEPPERS. ‘Toast required number crack- ers, make cream sauce of one pint milk, thickened and sea- soned with butter, pepper and salt; add one-half green pepper cut in narrow strips. Just before coming to table drop one can shrimps into sauce, having pre- vieusly put shrimps to soak in cold water 15 minutes to harden them. This makes nice luncheon to serve in a hurry. COTTAGE PUDDING, LEMON SAUCE. Cream one-fourth cup butter with one-half cup sugar and add one well beaten egg and three- fourths cup milk alternately with one and one-half cups flour sift- ed with one-half teaspoon salt and two level teaspoons baking powder.

Lemon Pudding Sauce.—Mix two level teaspoons cornstarch with one-half cup sugar and stir all at once into one cup boiling water. Cook 5 minutes, add one rounding tablespoon butter and as they wish and with whatever they ‘wish. - A good menu for the first course con- sists of such dishes as sliced chicken, one tablespoon of lemon juice. Lemon juice gives much better flavor than extract of lemon. The Daily Cross Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1920.) =N Delineated. Loud sound. Fire. Assumed character, ‘Water jug. Peruvian dairy. .

January 10, 1856.—The act of the Democratic members of the House in setting at naught, this morning, their previous caucus determination not to adjourn until a Speaker should have been elected was doubtless brought about by the knowledge that some of those who are voting for Representative Richardson were disposed to retire from tRe hall, having opposed the resolution for a protracted session in caucus and being too feeble in health to permit them to undergo longer the terrible physical exhaustion resulting from the e:&citemcnt of 20 hours’ continuous ses- sion. By thus seceding, they prevented the election of Representative Banks as Speaker, which would have been accom- plished by the failure of the Richardson men to answer the roll call, if the sit- ting had been protracted much longer. Such a season for sleighing as the present is an event previously unknown i in this latitude for at least a quarter of a century. Unless the temperature changes “almost miraculously,” is is clear that this sport will continue per- haps for a week or a fortnight longer, It is surprising how many fine sleighs ‘Washington €ity can turn out on an oc- casion like this. They are rushing up and down Pennsylvania avenue hourly, each transporting from 2 to 20 happy folks. Those who have fast horses are generally making the most of this op- portunity to show their capabilities to the best advantage. So far there has been not even a trifing accident resuiting from the sleighing here, although there has been much break-neck driving during the last five days—more of it, in fact, than has been witnessed on the streets of this city for 25 years. One wag today suggested that it was “too bad the House of Representatives could not catch the infection of the ‘fast spirit’ which seems to prevail on the streets of the city and likewise speed up its business.” Pressed Cold Corned Beef; Get a solid plece of beef for this, either the rump or the brisket. Soak overnight, rinse well, then either sew it in a piece of muslin or have it skewered securely so that it will retain a shape after boiling. Put in a Kettle, cover with cold water, add a sliced tur- nip, sliced carrot, sliced onion, and a few chopped stalks of celery. Bring to the boil, then simmer until thoroughly done. It will require about five hours to cook a six-pound piece of meat, and to cook less would not be economy, as it can be used in so many ways. Do not let the water do more than just gently ripple. Boiling will make the meat tough. Let it cool in the water in which it is boiled, and when cold take out, and put on one plate with an- other plate on top weighed down with flatirons_or bricks wrapped in waxed paper. Keep it pressed all night. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. I ain’t in any shape to hab somebody come in sudden an’' say, “What yer doin’, Sonny?” (Copyright, 1920.) THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Friday, January 11. - Planetary influences of much power will be strong tomorrow, according to astrology, which reads that the morn- ing hours should be especially au- spicious for industry. The lunation of that date indicates unusual activity in the building trades, it is announced. Agriculture again is subject to stim- ulating influences that promise relief from handicaps and increase in profits. Trouble over competition between motor transport and the railways 15 foretold by astrologers. “The opposition of Saturn and Mars is interpreted as presaging serjous in- ternational problems abroad, involving Germany, Poland, France and the Balkans. For months astrologers hive warned of epidemics in all parts of the world, making the Winter a time of- anixety and trial. St. Louls, Memphis and New Or- leans should be especially careful to observe sanitary precautions and to provide for care of the ill who suffer from colds. In contrast to the darker predictions are many that promise much to the people of the United States. ‘There will be an art awakening of such wide interest that it will embrace the en- tire country. Music will be more and more appre- ciated, it is prophesied, and really great American artists will mumi)ly. In art, the extreme modern influ- ences will be modified and once more there will be a striving to present the beautiful instead of what is repulsive or freakish, astrologers foretell. With the passing of the old era, the feminist movement will be forgotten, it is golnud out, and women Wwill their right places. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of a successful year in finance and business. New channels of activity probably will open to men and woman, but they should be care- ful in investing their money. Children born on that day probably will be ambiiious and able to attain high ideals. These subjects of Capri- corn_usually like what is novel or un- usual. Many lawyers are born under this sign. % (Copyriaht, 1929 Fashionable Folk by dJulia Boyd .DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Injustice of Making a Daughter Work to Support Her Brother—Family Generosity Fails if Tempered With Reproach. I have a brother who is a big, husky, young man, in perfect health, who has not done & lick of work in five years. My mother supports him in idleness on the money that my father and I earn. It takes every cent that we make to run the house. When I come home from work, my mother demands that I help her with the housework, but she never asks my brother to do anything. 12 DEAR MISS DIX: Why is it that so much is expected from a gir] A WORKING GIRL. Answer: How a mother can sacrifice a daughter to a son and force a girl to work to support an able-] boy, is one of the mysteries of the human heart that nobody can solve. Mothers are just made that way. You would think that a mother, being herself a woman and knowing that a girl is of frailer physique than a boy and less able to stand the strain of standing all day behind a counter, or banging a typewriter, or running a machine, would be filled with such sympathy for her daughter that she would not only protect her in every way herself, but would teach her brothers that it was their duty to guard their sister and care for her and help her in every possible way. You would think that the mother would pity the little young girl who had to go out in the world and earn her own living, and that when she came home she would coddle her and pet her, and that if there were any tasks to do around the house, she would make her sons do them and not her daughter. Such is not the case, however. When either the sons or the daughters have to be sacrificed, mother offers up the daughters without a minute’s compunction. In the great majority of households where the daughters and the sons both work, mother makes the girls turn over their pay envelopes intact to her, and she gives them back out of their earnings the least possible amount that they can do with for their lunches and spending money. She does not dream of taking such a high-handed way with the boys. She takes what they choose to give her as board money, and boasts about what good and generous sons they are. She would not think of conscripting their entire wages as she does the girls. She considers it nothing more than the girls’ duty to give all they make for the general family support, but she thinks it all right for the boys to spend their money on their own pleasures. Mother expects the girls to help with the housework no matter how weary they are when they come home of an evening, but she doesn’t expect the boys to do any household chores. They are tired, poor dears, and they must sit down and rest and smoke their cigarettes, while Mamie and Sadie do the dishes and finish up with the cleaning and perhaps wash m\t brother’s silk shirts, 1t son is too lazy to work, mother thinks it is perfectly right for the girls to support him, and if they object, she throws up her hands in horror and wants to know how they can be so cruel and hard-hearted as to begrudge their own, dear brother the food he eats and the bed he sieeps in! Of course, it is all wrong, from every point of view, but there is nothing you can gn about it because no mother is amenable to reason where her son is concerned. She can't see his faults. She considers that his laziness is perfectly justifiable and that the reason he is always out of a job is because employers are so unsympathetic and heartless, and because he just never has found the particular thing that he liked to do. You couldn’t convince her in a thousand years that it isn’t honest, or fair, to slip him money to play pool that his poor little sister has earned with breaking back and weary feet. ‘When a girl has a lazy brother that her mother forces her to support, het only recourse is to leave home and take her pay envelope with her. Yet she can't do that because mother would starve if she had to depend on her prodigal son. AR DOROTHY DIX. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been married nearly nine years and love my husband very much but he doesn't care a snap for my people. They are always wanting us for dinner on Sundays and holidays, and he simply refuses to go. If we don't go, there is a fight with them, and if I want to go there is a row with him. We have lived with them, off and on, since our marriage and when they get peeved with him they throw it up to him, and that is the reason he won't go. My husband is a poor man, but we are both satisfied, saving and trying to get a start in the world, but my family says he isn't treating me right by not getting me finery, sQ there is trouble about that. What shallIdo? CURLY. Answer: Your problem is one of those that are hard to settle because both sides are right, and both are wrong.

DEAR. MISS DIX: My roommate and I are both sophomores in -college. We are both engaged and expect to be married year after next. Our flances will graduate this year. Now my roommate and I want to spend next year together and plan our homes and make our hope chests, but we must make our living. What can we do to earn money? We want to do something interesting. JANE AND JEANETTE. Answer: It is not easy for an untrained girl to find something interesting and profitable to do, especially when she expects to do it for only a year. Employers want girls who already know their jobs, or who, at least, mean to continue at work long enough to pay for teaching them. DOI&'HY DIX, (Copyright, 1929 Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Against Graphology. Graphology is the science of the meaning of handwriting. It enjoys & permanent legal standing all over the world, especially in the traffic of nego- tiable papers. Legal identity, this is| called. If you have any doubts as to the reasonableness of legal identity, try to disguise a 50-word letter so that one familiar with your undisguised writing | may not be able to identify you as the writer. There are many who unquestionably assume a larger role for the meaning of handwriting. It is often affirmed that one's character 6r temperament is ineradically inscribed with the hand- writing. On the other hand, this claim has just as often been denied. You have your own opinions about this question. I recite below the six most commonly-raised objections to graphology as applied to character: First objection—Handwriting depends entirely upon the muscular make-up of | the hand. Muscles have no connection whatever with character. Therefore, science of character. terials and instruments, more than any- thing else, determine your handwriting at_any given time. Third objection—Handwriting- is a product of teaching. Pupils all with different temperaments will learn to write substantially the same hand un- der the tutelage of the same writing master. i Fourth objection—A person's hand- writing changes from time to time. His character does not change. Therefore, the two have no connection. Fifth objection—Members of the same profession frequently write with a sim- flar hand, although they differ widely in character and in temperament. Sixth objection—A person can easily disguise his handwriting but can never disguise his character. Therefore, it is impossible to tell his character from his handwriting. (Copyright, 1929.) Cherry Pie. Line a ple plate with any preferred crust. Brush over the bottom with white of egg to keep the fruit juice from making the dough soggy. Fill with two and one-half cupfuls of stoned canned cherries, sprinkle with half a cupful of sugar, two and one- half tablespoonfuls of flour and dot with a teaspoonful of butter broken in small bits. Cover with pie paste, cut slits in this and wet the edges to keep together when pressed firm, Very carefully put a tablespoonful of the juice from the cherries, which should be drained, through the slits on top, and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is well browned. If a glass pie plate is used, bake until the btl)’(tnm crust shows brown through the glass. “I've got so I like all kinds o’ dreams —the good dreams because I like ’em— and the bad dreams ’cause they're jest dreams.” (Copyright, 1929 .

Add to this a medium-sized can of crab meat, pour into a casserole, and sprinkle the top lightly with grated American cheese paprika and dots of butter.

Wilkins-Rogers Mlllmg Co. A Wager. UGH MUNSON was a bachelor. He was most emphatic in his statements that he would al- ways remain a bachelor. That he had reached the age of 43 without marrying and would travel through the rest of his days unmar- ried. He wanted to be free . explore hitherto unexplored lands . to come and go as his fancy willed. Who would want a better home than a hotel? Who would want more com- forts than the service obtained in such places? He scorned the tidy little houses of his friends . . . gingerly pat- ted the heads of their offsprings and then put a definite distance between himself and their sticky hands. He didn't want a house to be responsible for . . . electric light bills . . . gas bills . . . water bills furnace cleaners . . . faulty plumbing . . . maids . . . whooping cought . . . insurance policies . . . decorators. ...and that's final” he had de- clared decisively from the depths of a big chair in his sister’s living room on the first evening of his return from a two years' trip to Africa, “I—shall | —never—marry. The next six months I will spend here writing up my last trip for my publishers and then I'm off again . .. free as the wind . ..” He turned to his nephew, Robert Beveridge, who occupied another big chair near by. “You will be my heir, Bobbie, my boy . . . that is, if you will get this notion out of your head | about going in business instead of tak- |ing up law as your mother wants.” His nephew smiled as he crushed a cigarette butt against the ash tray. “You're a fine one to talk, Unk. Grandfather wanted you to be a min- ister—mother told me so—and besides, he was in favor of marriage and loo! at you—just a vagabond of the wind- | ing read, except that you have enough | money to buy railroad and steamer tickets, I don’t want to be a lawyer, but I'll compromise with you, you old fosil! I'll make a wager with you that before your six months are up—you will be asking some girl to marry you .« . to share your name and fortune. A new roadster against my pledge that I will go to college this Fall and study law that within the next six months yowll fall in love and fall hard! You have been out of touch with civiliza- tion so long you don't know what white women look like, but just you —wait. That’s fair, isn’t it, mother?” Hugh Munson's sister smiled indul- gently, and nodded. ‘The traveler laughed. “All right, shake on it! A new roadster—any color, any make— against your promise to be a lawyer— but I've won before we start. Love— marriage—bah! Responsibilities? Not for me!” A maid came to the door, followed by a hort, smiling faced little woman whose open coat displayed a white linen uniform. “Hello, folks, I'm on a case down in the next block—typhoid, and was out for a breath of air so thought I'd run in. Oh, why, Hugh Munson, you-old tramp! I haven't seen you since . . . let me see, when we three were in high school together . . . how many years ago . . .’ “And if if isn't Cara Smedley . . . or what is the name, now, Cara? I recall Marion telling me a long time ago of your marriage . . ."” “Listen, Hugh, Wesley died last year, you know. And I'm working again . . “And supporting the loveliest family of four children you ever saw. How is Billie, and Junie, and baby and Albert, Cara? My goodness, but Albert is get- ting so tall and manly.” “All fine,” answered the family's smiling mother. “Billie fell off the porch yesterday and bumped his nose and Junie looks like chicken-pox and baby cries for an hour straight every time I leave her and Albert spends all his nickels at the candy store, but every one of them!” Robert Beveridge looked across the table at his mother one morning and his eyes were troubled. “Well, mother, guess the odds are against me. You'll have a lawyer son after all, I guess. That oid Beau Brummel brother of yours! He is a knock-out in evening clothes and, all the girls are crazy about him. Kay says she has tried her wiles on him—nothing doing. Marjorie tells me he calls her ‘child’ and patronizes her! Kay says he is the hardest man in New York to flirt with, although he dances with her all the time and tells her she is pretty and would like to kidnap her and all that bosh that middle-aged men hand out to pretty girls. Kay is getting tired of the con- spiracy, I guess. We didn’t think he would be so hard to win over. We are going to have Estelle Taton out to Marjorie’s house party next week and Estelle will bowl him over . . . She's a stunner, and just begged for an in- ‘troduction the other night at the club. Says unk is her idea of handsome, dis- tinguished . . . and all that stuff!” Estell’s charms proved all in vain. Hugh Munson playeg! golf with her, rode horseback with Msrjorie Norris, sang outside of that, they are just beautiful. | THE EVENING STORY with Delicia Evans, danced with Kay Vandergrift and talked China with Mary Manning. They all vied for his faver. The house party broke up sooner than was expected, because he announced his intention of driving back to New York at noon instead of late evening. When he left, Kay and Marjorie were in the seat with him, and Delicia and Mary 10 | were in the rumble seat. The confirmed bachelor-explorer donned evening clothes three nights a week and accompanied his nephew and members of Robert’s set into the gay whirl of New York’s night life. He seemed thoroughly to enjoy himself. He continued to write in an effort to ap- pease the demands of an anxious pub- lisher, and at the end of the fifth month, Robert wrote to the university for the curriculum. Kay was again wearing his frat pin. Marjorie was hinting of her engage- ment to Alex Treadgold, long an ardent suitor; Delicia had decided to go on the stage; and always generous, Hugh Mun- son had offered to back her. She had refused with tear-filled eyes. Estelle Tanton was planning a Winter in Eu- rope and had hinted that she would ex- pect Hugh to stop and see her when he was on the continent, although he had not mentioned his impending jour- ney. Robert was sitting before the fire- place reading the recently arrived lit- erature from college. His mother was reading ‘close by. Hugh Munson came in, and with his hands deep in his pockets, he stood before the fireplace and faced his sister and nephew. = “What's the booklet, Bobbie, my lad? he asked. “Oh, you win, you old woman-hating antique! I never did think you ‘would hold out with all those giri—but you win! I'm going to college —and study law! Mother benefits anyway thmum our bet. And she has promised me t! car that you were going to buy me, after you proposed to one of the girls.” “That car,” spoke Hugh Munson slow- 1y, “will be delivered early in the morn- ing, Bobble, and you might drive your mother down to the station to see Cara and me off on our wedding trip, We will only be gone a week, on it of the babies! Can't leave them alone with a maid very long. You knew, Marion, that Junie is a smart little tike and baby—why, she just yells when I come in the door and stretches out her hands to me. Wish you would look in on them while we are away, we'l feel better if we know you are k g an eye on our family—and if you hear of a good nurse, tell her to come up and see me when we get back. Cara is fo have an easier time from now on. And Albert says he is going to own a garage when he finishes school. Can you beat that? And say, Marion, if you know of a good plumber, tell him to go and look at the bathroom on the third floor, there js something wrong and I didn't have time to attend to it.” ‘THE EN!
