Escalloped onions and celery are a delicious dish for Sunday night sup- per. Both onions and celery should be cooked first in water, separately, until almost tender. They are then arranged on a pudding dish with bread crumbs, with seasoning of salt, pepper and a dash of meat sauce or chill sauce if desired. Another combination, delicious and attractive to the eye, is to arrange fresh carrots, diced around freshly boiled onions, and have the dish edged with string beans. The white, orange and green make a colorful array and the mixture of vegetables is well chosen. Such a dish may serve for a meal in itself, or be augmented with a few slices of ‘bacon for zest. A purely vegetable meal calls for some such relish as piccalilli or mustard pickle to give it the appetizing quality, desirable, ‘Wednesday—Preserving the shape of the home-cleansed heavy garment.

Stories of rise to wealth in America are not uncommon. Harry Wardman's success, however, must be classed as one of the most romantic and remarkable on re As a lad he was employed as a doffer in a spinning mill at iford. He was earning only a few shillings a week when he decided that America offered to him his opportunity. He couldn’t get together enough money to pay even a modest ship’s passage, but he was determined. He asked for an oppor- tunity to work his way across and suc- ceeded. He peeled potatoes in the cook’s galley all of the way. Young Wardman set foot on Amer- ican soil with seven shillings in his pocket, the clothes he wore, and lots of ambition, He procured a job as a laboring carpenter and kept steadily at it for several years on very poor pay. Finally he was persuaded to try his hand as a con- tractor in Wash- ington. It was here that his luck turn- ed, and from that time on his fame and wealth grew. ‘Wardman's apart- ment houses and hotels are known throughout the world, principally be- cause they are all distinctive. In Washington he has erected some 300 apartment houses and more than 4,000 dwellings, “Wardman Courts” and_“Cathedral Mansions” are typical of the genius of this master builder. The Wardman Park Hotel is perhaps the most famous structure of its kind. It is modeled along the lines of an old English country inn and is a consider- able distance from the center of Wash- When Wardman announced woods,” his friends did their best to dissuade him. They argued that a hotel so remote from the business sec- tion certainly would fail. But he per- sisted, and since its completion it has been one of the most pog:ln in the city. In fact, so popular it become that he had to start enlarging. ‘The former mill hand now is en- gaged in his most ambitious building project. He has been commissioned by his native England to build that coun- try’s new embassy in Washington. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN, | “Unconscious Saving.” A young girl home from school dur- ing the past holiday season told us of @& new idea in saving which should ppeal to all. She had found it diffi- cult to save for Christmas. There were lalways reasons or causes for her funds being dissipated before time. Christmas clubs were all right, she agreed, but some have not the time to make a weekly deposit. She talked it over at the bank in her school town, and made arrange- ments at the beginning of the school term for the bank to withdraw a stated |amount each week from her checking account. Each month she received with her monthly statement weekly slips |showing that the sum agreed upon had been withdrawn and put in her Christ- 'mas fund. The plan worked splendidly, and so at holiday time she had her fund for Christmas presents and holiday fes- tivities. | This plan will be appealing to many business women and housewives who have the weekl, from their che our young friend. She called her plan “unconscious saving,” and we think it is a good one. It might be applied to regular saving. Instead of depositing in a checking account and & saving account, one might simply mail in one's checks for deposit, and leave instructions with the bank to credit the savings account with a definite sum each week. If this is I"m' practicable one might specify with each deposit what sum is to be placed in the savings account, Depositing by mail is a great con- i venience to many, and making one's | Christmas club deposits by “remote | control” is still an added convenience. | Arrangements such as those suggested are better than one’s New Year reso- lutions because they automatically pro- vide for an important. item in our financial program. s ‘Try unconscious saving, and enjoy its conveniences. deposits withdrawn ing accounts, as did Flight Lieut.

''THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR. Continuing the discussion of biddin one no trump initially, it is well to re: member that holding of important cards 13 necessary to make this bid. Don’t bid one no trump if the hand contains a blank suit, in other words, no cards of a certain suit or a worthless singleton. It the singleton in the hand is a queen or lower card, this would suggest to the bidder that a suit’ bid would be more advisable than a no trump, as it would represent side strength for a suit bid. 1t is doubtful wisdom for a beginner to bid & no trump with a worthless doubleton. This term is used to denote two small cards of the same suit; for ex- ample, seven-spot (7) and five-spot (5) of clubs, or four-spot (4) and two-spot (2) of hearts. There are many hands bid containing doubletons, but the be- ginner will do well to get the other re- quirements fixed in his mind, and the exceptions will come later. T would repeat that the requirements for an initial no-trump bid are: First. A hand above the average holding of high cards, with three (3) suits safely stopped. Second. A hand containing two powerful short suits. The following hand is a hand on which you would bid one (1) no trump initially: Spades—King, jack and seven-spot. Hearts—Queen, jack, six-spot and three-spot. Diamonds—Five-spot, four-spot and two-spot. Clug:—Ace, four-spot and two-spot. You have here three suits safely stopped, and a jack above the average. A hand containing three aces is reck- oned as being above average, it is only a one bid initially of no trump. The following hand is an initial bid of one no trump, but considered a weak no trump bid: Spades—Ace, 7 spot and 5 spot. Hearts—Ace, 8 spot and 6 spot. Diamonds—Nine spot, 8 spot, 5 spot and 3 spot. Clubs—Ace, 7 spot and 5 spot. ‘The following hand is very interest- ing looking, but with only two suits stopped, although you havée a jack above average, it does not contain strength enough to bid no trump: Spades—King, queen 8 spot. Hearts—Ace, jack and 5 spot. Diamonds—Eight spot, 7 spot, 5 spot and 3 spot. Clubs—Jack, 8 spot and 6 spot. To give you an example of a hand containing a worthless singleton and three suits safely stopped, on which you should not bid the initial no trump, the following is such a hand: Spades—Jack, 10 spot, 7 spot and 5 spot. Hearts—Ace, king and 9 spot. Diamonds—Jack. Clubs—King, jack, 7 spot, 5 spot and 3 spot. The jack of diamonds in this hand is the worthless singleton which pre- vents the no-trump bid. The proper initial bid for this hand is one (1) club. It will probably appear to some that these hands are very light no-trump bids, but they have at least three suits' stopped and experience has proven thelr soundness. In bidding one on the holdings given as one no-trump bids (initial), the information conveyed to your partner is of: great value, Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. The dining room which is to be Colonial in - feeling can scarcely be planned without including one or more built-in china closets similar to that in the illustration, Not only do they add to the atmos- phere of the room, but they offer op- portunity for the storing of china, glass- ware, silver and linens, and this prac- tical side must always be kept in mind in planning small houses where but- ler's pantries are to be omitted. A room with a fireplace at one end may have one of these closets on each side of the fireplace, which grouping will take up the entire end of the room. The closets are in ivory to match the wood paneled walls, which are faithful to_the old period. The interlor of the closets may be tinted in light orange, dull Chinese red, blue, green or whatever will fit into the color scheme of the room in general. If these cupboards are to be installed in the corners, the space occupied by the drawers may have paneled door with shelf space behind.

BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE. Franklin Pierce. Flm thousand people who journeyed to Washington for the inauguration of Franklin Plerce, New Hampshire Democrat, saw two of the Nation's handsomest Chief Executives side by side in a spectacular procession from Willard's Hotel to the Capitol. Millard Fillmore, the retiring Presi- dent, and the “best looking since Wash- ington,” rode with the handsome Presi- dent-elect in a barouche preceded by 16 milifary organ- izations and a half dozen fire com- panies wearing vari - colored uni- forms. In this col- orful section were Boone's Rifles of ‘Washington, Baltimore shooters, and the Manhattan fire company, with a took the oath of office, administered by the venerable Chief Justice Taney, and made his inaugural address, the first to be dellvered without the aid of notes. A youth seeking a birds’-eye view of the Capital City the morning of inaugu~ ration day plunged to his death from the top of the Washington Monument. It was believed he lost his footing when he started to descend the monument ladder. He was buried two days later, m’iu identity never having been estab- A shadow was cast over the Pierce occupancy of the White House by the death in a rallway accident of the President’s only son a few weeks be- fore the inauguration, and the social filh‘l were not as brilliant as those of predecessors, ‘The White House grounds and the land adjacent to the river were beauti- fled during the’ Pierce administration. A newspaper of that day said: “The grounds lying south of the Ex- ecutive Mansion are being ' transformed into a magnificent park which, when completed, will afford a fine carriage drive of 3 or 4 miles. The Potomac at one end and the Capitol at the other; the Smithsonian Institution and Wash- ington Monument being situated in its midst. “In the center of the small square, immediately in front of the President's house, stands a small bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson, presented the Gov- ernment by Capt. Levy of the Navy, Prmn: proprietor of "Monticello, the lormer abode of Mr. Jefferson. It is a handsome piece of statuary, and in its g‘resent position has quite a command- g appearance.

Mr. Suther- land, president of the convention, ad- dressed the President, who fervently re- sponded, eliciting repeated cheers. The President in his speech referred to Van Gaskirk of New York, 94 years old, as the only representative of the Revolu- tion present. The enthusiasm was al- most unbounded.” The President’s last levee was the occasion for a tragic incident, which was reported in the press as follows: “During the immense pressure at the President’s levee last evening Col. Lee, a member of our City Council and a clerk in the Pension Office, seized a gentleman by the collar and accused him of picking his pocket. The gen- tleman charged was Mr. David Hume of Alexandria, a highly respectable merchant. “This morning Mr. Hume proceeded to the Pension Office to explain and satisfy Col. Lee he was mistaken in supposing him a pickpocket. Lee, however, was fixed in his opinion that Hume had attempted to steal his ketbook, whereupon Hume struck with a stick, and in return was shot dead by Lee.

FEATURES.’ MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 12.— A star without a lawsuit is like a car without a motor—no reason for being. Local honors are being maintained by Sue Carol and Jetta Goudal. The for- mer, appearing in her suit with Douglas MacLean, has a court costume made for the occasion. This sounds frivolous; nay, more, it sounds stagy and artificial. Yet it is a move planned by one of the cleverest young women in the movie colony, and with results that will be far-reaching in a financial way. The costume, & demure little frock of soft chocolate brown, is made on ap- proved young lady lines. The skirt is primly made with godets, so that a careless knee crossed will reveal no more of a shapely leg than any young lady of most conventional demeanor would dream of exhibiting. Twelve tried men and true—or a few tried men and a sprinkling of deter- mined women in the jury box—will gaze on the charming defendant and feel that she is just a little, inpocent, black-eyed girl who has been’ made game of at the hands of a hard-hearted movie man. Douglas MacLean says he is the lad who discovered the Chicago beauty— put her into pictures. What is more, he feels that the work he did to place her in the very excellent position she now holds with the American public entitles him to some financial profit. He is trying to tell in court just what the scope of a discoverer is. Aside from an instinctive recognitjon of beauty, the discoverer has the added responsibility of following up the en- gagements he gets for his young protege and insisting that she receive full credit in electrics as well as in roles. All this Douglas MacLean says he did at a great loss of personal time and profit. But it seems Mr. MacLean for- got to mail Sue Carol notice of a re- newal of option. Option is the bugaboo of Movieland. You have a five-year contract, but there is an option to be exercised every so often. And the Mac- Lean notice didn't come on time. So says Miss Carol. M TEETH are precious. Tbeg lend mote good digestion. T! has another story. Miss Carol says he made enormous profits from her during the existence of the contract. He avers that he didn't make a penny. Across the hall Jetta Goudal, all eye- lashes, tiny snub nose and eloquent eyes and mouth, is suing a corporation for treating her contract lightly. The lady wants $110,000 back pay—a mere trifie. The corporation says it had to rid itself of her on tempera- mental grounds. Jetta's genius began with temper and ended in tantrums, so it isycontended. The corporation says words to the effect that Jetta made many a fine scene, but pulled many a sheranigan before, during and after the scene was made. Luck seems to be playing with the Goudal. It just happens that there isn't a better actress in Hollywood, and the director who made one picture which the corporation used got on the stand and said so.
