They certainly are de- licious. When making them, first tear off the strings of the coarser stalks. ‘What remains will be juicy and tender. Cut the leaves of celery from the fronds leaving every particle of stalk |uncut, Snip off the wee tips of the | stalks so left and use them for salads jor in a variety of soup in which they will not be strained out. The leaves themselves can be put into soup stock that is to be strained. The main stalks will be left for curls and the hearts and a few stalks surrounding them for table celery as is. The delicate fresh leaves make attractive garnish for meats, fish, etc. The leaves not used immediately either for garnish or for soup or sea- soning, can be dried, and put in an air- tight jar to preserve their flavor. Celery leaves may be dried by exposure to the air in some warm place, or they can be spread on a pan or plate and put in a warm, not hot, over to dehydrate. Dried leaves can be put in soup that it to be strained and will add the de- sired flavor and zest. If used in a clear soup, put the leaves in a small cheese- cloth bag. tie up securely, and drop into the kettle. Remove before serving the soup. ‘The dehydrated leaves can be rolled until they are like powder, and be sprinkled over meat that is roasting, when the roast is dredged with salt and pepper. This adds a delicate flavor. Or the powder can be lightly sprinkled over a vegetable salad when fresh celery is not available, and so impart.a soupoon of flavor. (Copyright, 1929.) Will Employment Contract Be Discharged by Destruction of Firm’s Business? ‘While Henry Field was employed by the Moore Co. under a contract for one | year, the business house of the com- pany, together with its stock of goods, was destroyed by fire. Instead of re- butlding or resuming business the Moore Co. liquidated. One of the claims the company re- fused to pay was that of Field, who asked for his salary for the unexpired portion of the contract—six months— during which time he had been thrown out of work by the fire. The contention of the company was that the destruc- tion of the business had automatically canceled the employment contract. Field refused to accept the company's contention and filed suit. ‘The court, deciding that Field was entitled to his salary, explained his de- cision, as follows: “The burning of the house and goods was not necessarily the destruction of the business. Another house is generally easy to secure, and other goods may be had by means of money and credit. Without a clause in the agreement giv- ing the employer the right to cancel the contract in the event a fire oc- curred, destroying his business house and stock of goods, or in the event a dissolution of the firm should occur, or if for any reason the business should cease to be conducted, a fire not neces- sarily causing the destruction of the business is insufficient to cancel the agreement.” THE EVENING STAR.

I have spoken of the care needed to keep the back of the neck as perfect as the complexion, but thete are other, con- siderations beside cleanliness and neat- ness. if a woman is going to make the most of her possibilities. Nothing de- tracts more from youthful lines than the neck that has accumulated a hump at the back. It is even worse than the very hollow neck of the woman who 1s too thin from poor health or other causes. A lump of fat at the back of the neck will add 10 years to the ap- pearance and the woman who is over- weight all over will always have this extra mass il 4 place where it spolls the whole outline of the back, giving her usually the appearance of being stoop shouldered and hollow chested. In fact, it distorts all the graceful lines of the upper part of the body, although it ap- parently is of small importance, com- pared with fatty depesits in other. parts of the body. Fortunately, this fatty neck mass is about, the easiest to get rid of, as it is just & mass of fatty tissue that is al- most apart from the regular muscular tissues of that part of the body.. One of the easiest methods of dissolving it is by massage, and anyone can do this for herself. I know one woman who cleared off one of these humps in a month. by working it together with her fingers as if she might be kneading dough. The very thin woman will have a harder time to perfect the lines at the back of her neck, and the best way will be to put on weight, although some nourishing oil massaged into the place will help somewhat too.

January 22, 1861.—Most of the local preachers whose sermons or prayers are reported in today's newspapers refer to the critical situation of the Nation, asking God's blessing upon mankind, and that the attention of all men be called to their common brotherhood. Rev. Mr. Holmead, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, said in his sermon: “The crew of our ship of state are not willing to throw over the smallest prejudices to enable her to ride the storm. There were secessionists aboard Paul's ship who wished to leave it, but Paul said, ‘Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved’ They were needed to work the vesse! In conclusion, Rev. Mr. Holmead ex- pressed fervent trust that “terrible as was the storm, our own noble ship of state would yet ride into the port bear- ing all her crew and wearing the Stars and Stripes.” Sixty-two more United States sol- diers from Fort Clinton, West Point, have just arrived here over the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad. They are under the command of Lieut. James A. Duane and Lieut. Weitzel. They marched at once to the Columbian Arsenal and took up their quarters there. ‘They are mostly young men and have created a favorable impression since their arrival here by their military bearing and courtesy. There are 1,200 stand of arms in the Columbian Arsenal, besides four pieces of field ordnance and other military stores. The Federal Government con- siders it very important to have them well guarded in these “filibustering” times. A company of flying artillery, ordered here from West Point, arrived at the railroad station this morning under command of Capt. Griffin. A squad of 15 Marines arrived last night. It is understood that the Federal Government intends to concentrate here prior to March 4, when Abraham Lincoln will be inaugurated as Presi- dent of the United States, three com- panies of light field artillery, two of cavalry and five companies of foot, be- sides the Marines at the barracks on Eighth street southeast. NANCY PAGE Nancy and Her Club Have Lunch at Hotel. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Millicent Dawson could not entertain the Early American Club, or, as it was better known, the Nancy Page Club, in her own home because of extensive re- modeling which was being done. Since it was not convenient for any one else to take the meeting for that particular date, she decided to entertain them at a hotel. 3 All the guests accepted with alacrity and things went so smoothly that Milli- cent was more than repaid for the pre- liminary work she had done. She went to the maitre d’hotel or the man who was in charge of the dining rodm. * She told him the number of guests she ex- pected and the amduht £he ‘céuld pay n;r the luncheon. Then they discussed plans. He asked her to select the flowers and candles. She said she wanted no candles since/the party was a daytime one and daylight would furnish the illumination. She chose the place cards and put them in place on the day of the party. The necessary tips and arrangements for paying the bill were all settled be- fore the guests arrived. She had given him the approximate number of guests earlier, but on the afternoon of the day before the luncheon she telephoned him the correct number. He had made it possible for the guests to have a small room for their wraps. The guests had been told to inquire at the desk as to the room num- ber and a bell boy was ready to take guests to the elevator. Millicent her- self was at the door of the luncheon room to greet guests, just as she would ll:lve done had she been in her own ome. FEATURES." KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH JASTROW. The Neurotic Family. You say that nervous disorders are in- herited in the ‘sense that nervous trouble runs in familtes h my parents are ‘nervous” in different ways: but 1 con- sider mysql! exceptionally free from nerves. My sister (older) is decidedly nervous, my brother (younger) also. and in regard to the youngest of the four of us, I can't tell yet. Am 1 deluding m!““ that I have escaped this neurotic Inhéritance? STOCK BROKER. There is no reason why one should not be completely normal and even singularly free from nerves even when both parents show some (slight) signs of this very, very common departure from the normal. In a hundred families in which one (and especially both) of the parents showed definite neurotic symptoms there would be more nervous children than among the same number of descendants of non-nervous parents. Even this result would be assured only if you had in the one group definitely nervous families and in the other families clearly without neuroses, and if you discarded a great many families that you couldn't with confidence put in_either class. Your heredity, unless exceptionally tainted—that is, with the dice heavily loaded against you—does not doom you to a neurosis; it only inclines and in various degrees. With a neurotic strain in the family one child may inherit from that strain and the other not. Your heredity is both a composite one from many ancestors ana a specific one (in one or more respects) from some one ancestor whose qualities are known or unknown. Birth is a chance; it's your parents’ chance in you, and yours in them and their parents for a few generations back predominately. To hold that heredity shapes much®in life leads to under- standing, not to despair. The problem for each is to make the most of his heredity. Neuroses are so common that few family strains are free from them. ‘This correspondent may retain his con- viction; and if he can stand the life of a stock broker, he has additional proof that he is all right. Among the many cases that accumu- late in a clinical “once over” here is a typical neurotic family—not the worst, nor the best of its kind. The father is a normal workingman, getting the high union scale wages of his class. He is one of the following: Car- penter, mason, plumber, plasterer, machinist, and it doesn’t matter which. He is absorbed in his job, doesn’t worry, has no ambitions, just goes along. The mother is definitely nervous, much dis- posed to worry, has reared a family of five children, all but the youngest (still in high school) self-supporting, but by no means normal. Of the high school boy and one sister, I know little and call them normal, giving them the bene- fit of the doubt. ‘The oldest, a girl, has had one at- tack of mental trouble, which brought her to an asylum. She recovered, has a job, is still a problem, and may have further mental trouble. One of the sons is a terrible problem, worries h’ mother into her neuroses. He has been educated to a profession, which is one of the following: Dentist, ac- countant, pharmacist, clerk—it doesn't matter which. He is a sex delinquent and has barely escaped arrest. Another daughter is a problem to herself. She is full of fears and hesitations, feels her- self abnormal, too sensitive, no decision or energy, feels dull and depressed, with no command of her powers; makes few social contacts. She is of the neuras- thenic type. She holds her {ob. but without any interest in it, and it is one of these: Salesclerk, office girl, stenog- rapher, telephone girl, cashier; again it does not matter which. That’s about a picture of a neurotic family disguised enough so that it can- not be recognized in detail, but can be matched again and again by many a practicing neurologist or social worker who comes in contact with one member who is the “case.” As a matter of fact, the whole family is the “case”; and society must in some form assume the burden and the responsibility. The more nearly normal members of such a family can be saved to normalcy; they are as much victims of a bad family atmosphere as of heredity. (Copyright, 1929.) Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. More and more we find evidences that modern design is gaining a firmer foo- ing in the fleld of furniture. ‘Tall, irregularly shaped bookcases, low severally designed beds and electrical fixtures which perform their duty ad- mirably and which at the same time are unusually attractive. Occasional pieces are the first to be given favor by the conservative buyer; o | but scarcely a home do we step into where there is not a lamp, decorative box or pair of book ends in true modern art effect. A small table will appeal to the fur- nisher of the small apartment, for, though small, it has many uses. When closed, it has the appearance of a wall table equipped with three sets of shelves —one on each side and a set in the center. With just a touch of the side shelves, they slip out and form separate units. These may be hinged at the back, so that they will operate easily, or unat- tached, and may be moved about and used in various parts of the room. Stain, paint or lacquer may be used for the finish of this attractive piece. (Copyright, 1929.)
