WOMA N°'S PAGE When the Guest Is a Tardy Arrival BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. How to receive a guest who is a late arrival and how to be most gracious as s under the circumstances of ess are matters to concern almost every one at some time. As in all other ahnu of entertaining or being enter- ined, there is an art to it. - ‘The very term of hospitality sug- A TARDY GUEST SOMETIMES IS SO DISTURBED HERSELF THAT SHE GIVES THE IMPRI ION OF BEING ANNOYED, WHICH 1S A MISTAKE. gests generosity, and this must be of things spiritual as well as material. To take the tardy guest to task, unless the patience, is to fall from the role of the rertec! hostess. Probably the guest feels very chagrined at the lateness of his or her arrival, and the attitude of the hostess will make or mar the occa- sion which is to follow. To offer some one pleasure and then hinder the en- joyment of it is a very backhand way of doing things, from which no good to any one can result. ‘The hostess, of course, owes it to her- selt and to her other guests to let the form of entertainment chosen be ad- hered to. Events should take their course with as little deviation as possi- ble from schedule. Anything which has transpired before the late arrival is xprmnl must be regarded as his or her 055. To be a guest arriving behind time one must show just the right degree of | concern—enough to have the hostess feel that disconcerting her plans is not held to be a negligible quantity, and not 5o much that she is embarrassed by having to reiterate her assurances that it is quite all right. To be too apolo- getic does not help the occasion to go lon smoothly. as little commotion as | possible should be aroused. This is a thing which the late arrival does well to remember. The hostess has already started the ball of entertainment roll- ing, and to suddenly burst upon the scene with flurry and profuse apologies may be to interfere with her plans more than is necessary. It is inexcusable for a guest to act as if such breach of etiquette were a matter of no concern to herself. A guest who assumes such a manner to- ward a long-suffering hostess deserves to have her name struck from the list of those invited. Such an attitude on the part of the hostess is quite another “-nlner. (Copyright, 1929.) DAILY DIET RECEIPES CHILI BEEF CAKES—MEAT. Ground beef, 1 pound. Large onion, 1.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK One of the very few survivors of the old South in Congress—a most recent attempt to wipe out any trace of bitterness that may exist be- tween the North and South. He is Senator Lee 8. Overman of North Carolina, for 26 years a repre- sentative of his State in the Sen- ate and the second ranking Democrat of that body. - Senator Overman :ked his colleagues approve s plan which he believes will perpetuate the memorable saying of Gen.

Grant, facing south. And at the south end of the bridge he would have placed a heroic figure of Robert E. Lee, facing north. In the center he would have two fig- ures of women clasping hands, repre- senting the North and the South. The request is contained in a resolu- tion adopted by the Senate. It will be forwarded to the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission and a report made 8t the next session of Congress. If the plan is acceptable, Senator Overman will ask that Congress ap- propriate the necessary funds. Now that the new cabinet is on the Job and the continued status of Senator Borah as chairman of the Senate for- eign relations committee is definitely determined, the following story can be Not many months ago Mrs. Borah, who is famous in Washington for her wit and repartee, was the guest of honor at a dinner given in Boise by one of the Benator’s stanchest supporters. ‘The dinner table conversation drifted to the subject as to who would be Presi- dent Hoover's Secretary of State. One of the gubsts, with more frankness than tact, Said to Mrs. Borah: “We hear that Senator Borah has been offered the Secretaryship of State in the Hoover cabinet.” ‘The other guests were plainly shock- ed, but Mrs. Borah showed no embar- rassment. “Yes, that is true,” she sald, with a smile of innocence. “Billy has been of- fered the Secretary of State—" ‘The host shifted uneasily. But he didn’t know his Mrs. Borah, who paused slightly for effect, grinned a bit mis- chievously and concluded: “—_by everybody except Mr. Hoover.” MAIDLESS LUNCHEON. Radishes. Olives. Celery.

Wickersham has been summoned by & President of the United States to quit his private law practice and render pub- lic service. Willlam Howard Taft picked him to be Attorney General under his “m‘m&; responsibility of seeing that the new Sherman anti-trust lJaw was enforced. Many and severe were the criticisms hurled at him during the four years he headed the Department of Justice, but through it all Taft stood by him. And | when Taft left the White House he described Wickersham as the pride of his administration. “I venture just a thought,” Taft said, “that if the incoming President could put his hand on as certainly a success- ful Attorney General as I have had he ‘would greatly rejoice.” And now, some 17 years later, Presi- | dent Hoover has cailed upon George ‘Wickersham to perform one of the most important tasks that confront his ad- ministration — to find a method whereby the laws of the United States may be better en- forced. Over on Vermont avenue, in the De- partment of Jus- tice, there yet re- main several men who were associ- ated with Wicker- sham when he was Attorney General. To a man they agree that the President could have made no bet- ter choice of a chairman of his law enforcement commission. ‘They say Wickersham's judicial tem- ment makes him especially suited or the kind of a task President Hoover has given him. Added to this is the fact that he has been essentially a stu- dent all of his life. His unfailing courtesy and kindness to even the lowliest employe of the De- partment of Justice is remembered there still. Old-timers at the depart- ment cite many instances when Wicker- sham endeared himself to his subordi- nates by taking time to attend to the little things. He was thoroughly liked and admired by every one with whom he came in contact. ‘Wickersham is one of the few Attor- ney Generals who appeared in person to argue before the Supreme Court.

Boiled Frosting. - Put half a cupful of water in a saucepan and dissolve one cupful of sugar in it. Then add a tiny pinch of cream of tartar. Stir until dissolved. Bring quickly to & boll and skim off the discolorations. Place the cover on the pan for a few minutes, so that the steam may condense and wash off any sugar on the sides of the pan. Put in & thermometer when the sirup is boiling at its own level, then boil to 238 de- ped with a fork wrapped with cloth, as these cause the icing to be coarse- grained. Pour over a stiffiy beaten egg white, beating constantly. One egg makes a dense, sweet icing; two eggs make it fluffy. Continue beating until of the consistency to spread nicely. Not beating long enough will make the frosting run; if beaten too long it will be lumpy. When cold, if it 1s too thin, place bowl over hot water and fold ;:ntly while it cooks slowly, remove the fire and fold over until cold, second cooking need first, caramel, fiavor may be used. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Today in Washington History BY DONALD AT:IAIG. ‘ June 21, 1863.—Throughout today, be- | ginning very early in the morning, heavy was distinctly heard in this city, apparently coming from the direction of the Bull Run Mountains. After a few hours it was learned that engagement was in progress between a portion of the cavalry under Gens. Pleasanton and Stahl, and a part of the infantry of Gen. Meade's command, on the Union side, and Stuart's cavalry, with more or less infantry, supposed to belong to Gen. Longstreet’s corps, on the Confederate side. The battle commenced soon after day- break and is understood to have been pirst in the vicinity of the gap through the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Aldie, Va. It is believed that Meade attacked the Confederates and that the Union cavalry got into action about 8 o'clock this morning. It is assumed that the Union forces were victorious for several reasons. In the first place no Union straggler has come to the rear. During the day the sound of the firing gradually died down, but it did not cease until about 6 o'clock this evening, when it appeared to come from the vicinity of Snickers Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains. No request for reinforcements was received from the Union force. Military authorities here assume that whatever Confederate force was in the valley between the Blue Ridge and Bull Run Mountains was today driven across the latter range into the Shenandoah Valley. Late reports tonight indicated that Pleasanton's cavalry attacked Stuart's| Confederate cavalry at or near Middle- burg, Va., and steadily drove Stuart all during the day through Upperville | and into Ashbys Gap, inflicting heavy loss. Several pieces of Confederate ar- tillery and a number of prisoners are reported to have been taken. Wounded men from the battle are understood to | be on their way in wagons to the hos- pitals in this city. During the day there was 8 report a large Union force had been de- d at Centerville, but upon investi- gation this Emvzd to be entirely with- out foundation in fact. ‘The public here is still profoundly ignorant of the whereabouts of Gen. Lee with his main force. It is known, however, that he is not anywhere east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. SUB ROSA BY MIMI. th Pigs and Pearls. We are told not to cast our pearls before swine and are warned that piffs is pigs. The idea is that some people lack a sense of appreciation just as others are wanting in a sense of humor, 80 that we should not expect responses from them. Some people show their selfishness in the way they grasp everything they can lay their hands on, while ofhers are just as selfish in the way they refuse to take what is offered them. Both types of selfish people keep within themselves. You don't want anybody to take your hat from you, and you don't want people to refrain from admiring it, if it happens to be a tricky toque. You hate to have others monopolize the conversation, but you don’t like them any better when they don't listen to your story. They can offend by both the lips that talk too much and the ears that hear too little. When we come right down to the | affairs of human life, most people have a certain amount of sympathy for suf- fering, for they know what it means but they have not the same amount of sympathy for the happiness which we enjoy when fortune smiles on us. “Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.” But is that true? When we weep we are likely to command a certain amount of compassion from our human associates, but when we laugh because of success or happiness we find that these same people don't laugh with-us. Envy gives them long faces, just as jealousy gives green eyes. Cleopatra dissolved pearls in vinegar, and how often the pearls of one's thoughts and feelings are destroyed by the sourness of another’s disposition. Such sour people don't want to have us share our ideas and feelings with them. They may lend us their money, but not their ears, ‘We prize the pearls we find In oysters. Why should we not esteem the pearls of great price as these are to be found in another person’s thoughts? It is tiresome to listen to a long-winded story and a bother to hear all about the other person's doings, but now and then a precious idea is found in an- other’s experience when it is related. The truly appreciative person is as praiseworthy as the pearl diver who forgets himself, holds his breath and dives deep for the e Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “Mamma thought the sugar looked kinda dark, an’ I guess me an’' Pug scraped it up too good when the sack busted while we was playin’ catch.” (Copyrigh ) the Great.

If all the false accusations that have been made against servants were writ- ten in books, I doubt whether we could find a library large enough to contain them all. Some time ago I was in a home when the housewife discover.d that some little article was missing. She just knew that her maid had taken it. Nobody else could have done it. But after having accused the maid the missing article was found just where she herself had put it away. You can agine that housewife's embarrassment when she had to confess her hasty and unwarranted accusation. Stmilar incidents have taken place times without number. Where there is a servant around most people ~e s8ll too ready to accuse the servant when anything is found missing or out of place. As to many other things serv- ants are wrongly accused. It was so back in Solomon’s time. Hence his warning touching the matter. The warning applies not only with regard to servants, but with regard to others as well. It is a very wrong and unjust thing to hastily accuse any- body. We can never know the mis- chief that has been wrought in this way. Thus many a man’s business ha. been ruined. Thus the happiness of many & home has been shattered. Thus countless hearts have been made to suffer the decgest anguish and torture And in many Bhch cases the accusation that caused all the trouble proved to have no foundation whatever. In view therefore, of the possible wrong and in- Jjustice we may do, we ought always to be very cautious and slow about accus- ing people.

GLASS, Potemkin’s bold love, his bravery and ) able heart and her prediliction for big | his huge stature all charmed Catherine | men. He spurred his horse to the side of the Empress and with a grand flour- ish offered her his own plume. ‘The bold eyes of Catherine swept this enterprising youth appraisingly as she gave him gracious thanks, That night the ensign concluded he had im. pressed the Empress. He boldly ap- proached her at the first favorable op- | portunity—which came while Gregory temkin first succeeded in catching the | Orloff, her first great favorite, was away from court. He won her heart, but not her hand. Youthfully proud, he made one mis- take. He boasted of his conquest to Alexis Orloff, brother of Gregory. Alexis, strangler of the Emperor Peter, struck him a blow that blinded one eye. Potemkin spent a year at his n tive place, Smolensk, restoring his per- sonal appearance and boasting he would soon be Russia’s greatest man. Cath- erine, weary of his absence, finally re- called him. Henceforth he ruled with her, taking the place of Gregory Orlofr. Potemkin is outstanding among Cath- erine's favorites, because when he re- linquished her love to others he chose those others and so remained in power, keeping his place as prime minister and -| general of the Empress. Not a great soldier, he always ap- seared at battles in time to claim the credit for victory. As a statesman he catered to Catherine's pride. He lived extravagantly, his mind busily engaged with great projects. His table cost a thousand roubles a day. He required luxuries like cherries in the depths of Winter. He threw money to the people. Yet his wealth was a gift from Catherine and he did not pay hon- est_debts. He defied a fever to go on a carriage journey and died by the roadside. On hearing the news Catherine fainted three times.

In-these days when the children are freed from school and spend all their | hours in the open, they are subject to | U dietary indiscretions that can't always be blamed upon the mother. | Neighbors have the hospitable habit | of showing their liking for children by feeding them, and so when Mrs. Brown bakes cookies and the appetizing odor floats into the yard and the Jones' chil- | dren cluster about her doorstep in the forlorn hope that shell see them and offer them some, it takes & very hard- hearted person to ignore them. Even if Mrs. Brown is well aware that Mrs. Jones never allows the children to eat between meals and deplores their loss of appetite when they do, she is all too apt to say to herself, “playing outdoors makes them hungry. A few cookies won't hurt them.” ~And so she plays the part of a beneficent fairy and thor- | gughly enjoys the children’s obvious de- | ight. | Then there s the kindly neighbor | (and she is kindly) who always carries a bar of chocolate or & box of fruit drops in her handbag. And don't the | children know it? They run like fire horses when they see her coming—and always are so0 surprised when she opens her handbag and “finds” something for | em. Very often she says to the children, “now you must ask your mother it you | can have it.” which puts poor mother in the position of being a deep-dyed | villain if she says no in the face of their mute pleading. Of course. no one is trying to pretend even for a moment, that a child's health | is going to be undermined by a few | cookies, or a treat of candy. The most this can do is to spoil their appetite | for the next meal, which is bad enough | in most families. The chief harm is the practice of making light of the mother's rules of conduct—overriding her discipline. | The mother maps out & routine for | the child with the perfect knowledge | of what is best for him. She knows | that he eats little or nothing when he | has been fed between meals. She knows | that he likes all the sweet foods best | and has to have them after he has eaten all the other foods that are so essentlal, but not so attractive to him. Why should her carefully worked out routine, her sensible arguments to the child be shattered in order that & neigh- bor or relative shall be pleased and flattered by the attention she gets from the child when she feeds him? Outsiders have no right to criticize a mother's method of managing or feed- ing her family. They should adhere to | it. and further it. If Mrs. Brown wante | to treat the children to cookies she | should give them to Mrs. Jones and | suggest that the children have them for | their lunch. The surprise is just as| delightful to the child, and then_she feels that Mrs. Brown realizes, too, that | children mustn't, eat between meals, and | her mother's arguments in this respect | | are immeasurably strengthened. Everyday Law Cases Do Changes in Assets Affect Validity of Will? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Mr. Loeb executed a will leaving his | roperty to three sons, giving one son is real estate, another son his stocks and bonds and the third son his money. At the time that the will was made , $10.000 worth of si an and '$10,000 in cash. o] At the time of his death, however, Mr. | Loeb had only $2,000 worth of propert: $20,000 in stocks and bonds and $5,0 in_cash. & e son 6 Whom the property was devised filed sult asking that the wii | be set aside as not a true expressioa | of his father's wishes, showing the | changes in the property and other as- | sets, because of which his share was | seriously affected. The court, refusing to set aside the will, declared it valid, stating: “A will is not revoked because of | changes in the assets of the testatr | making the operation of the division different from what it would havc heen | had the testator died the day he | made it.” ——e Spinach With Mushroom Sauce. ‘ Cook some spinach uncovered for 10 | minutes, using a very small amount ' of water.
