Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein, a 5 nder, brunette beauty, wore a made from the broth or soup stock from fish and meat. The first two are of milk thickened with a roux, using equal pro- portions of butter and flour (a table- spoonful of each). For white sauce blend well over heat. For brown sauce brown the flour in the butter, taking great care not to burn it. Burned roux spolls the flavor of the sauce. Add one- half teaspoonful salt, one-quarter tea- spoonful of pepper and one cupful of milk, stirred in gradually. | By using soup stock the water in which vegetables have been boiled, the liquor from oysters or clams, combined with milk or water, or the water in which fish has been boiled, the founda- tion for various meat and fish sauces are prepared. These require other in- lients to make them tasty. Add one tablespoonful of pickled nas- | tirtium seeds, one hard-bolled egg, |sliced, and two teaspoonfuls minced | parsley to white sauce for boiled fish. Use a brown sauce as the foundation for the sauce for boiled beef or mutton. Slices of the cold meat may be warmed in the sauce just before adding the sliced egg. An’ attractive arrangement is to put the egg on the meat slices or around them on the platter. The sauce is excellent for fish or meat cro- quettes. If one does not have the nas- turtium pickle, capers may be substi- tuted. To each cup of strained and well sweetened apple sauce add one-half tea- spoonful of minced mint leaves and one teaspoonful mint jelly. Add the two mints just before time to serve. This sauce is delicious with roast pork or lamb, but not on it! 1f those who are interested in sauces that are “different” will write me, I | shall be glad to print others that have | never appeared before. These can be for | fish, meat, entrees or desserts. In giv- | ing other recipes, directions for making | the foundation sauces will not again be | printed, but will be referred to as white | sauce, brown sauce or roux, the latter | signifying just the blended butter and | | flour ‘in the proportions given in this article. (Copyright, 1930.) Fish Le;t-Overs. There are many ways of using left- over fish, though some persons seem not to »now about them. Fish, of course, must be kept thoroughly chilled, both after as well as before it is cooked. And | then on Saturday—if you have fish on | Friday—you can prepare the fish left- overs in many good ways. Creamed fish, for instance. Remove all skin and bone and flake the fish into rather big pleces. Have ready a quarter as_much d‘l’ced crisp celery. Heat the fish in a well seasoned white sauce, and just as you are serving it mix it with the celery. Pour it on thin slices of crisp, buttered toast. Or fish salad. Remove skin and bone and mince the fish finely. Mix with mayonnaise and arrange in mounds in lettuce nests. Or flake it with equal parts and green peppers celery alone, and serve on lettuce leaves, with” mayonnaise or Fren ing. Garnish, if you wish, with stuffed olives. fish is also good. To make it mix it with white sauce and put in a baking dish in alternate layers with buttered bread crumbs. Bake until brown. Marx's tea Sunday afternoon.

One political party “views with alarm” the spectacle of the other party in power, and “points with pride” to all that his crowd has done. That's the view of the world from the stump. But not every view is an alarming one; and it's not everywhere we point that we have reason to be proud. The question is, when ought we to be scared and when have we the right to be proud? Imagine it depends upon the point of view. We are in full view, now. The men don't miss a trick when they see us in our togs. But what is there about us that the view thereof should cause alarm? It may be, we have to admit, that some girls have interpreted the freedom of the seas as though it meant they could go around in their bathing suits, for there is a touch of immodesty in the appearance of our rasher sisters, However, the general appearance of & girl today is such that the men folks might better point with pride than view with alarm. For, with all our freedom of attire, we haven't forgotten that mod- esty is a virtue. We are watching our steps because our steps are being watched. We don't want to appear like chorus girls in the dance or female agitators on parade, but just human beings moving on to our proper destination. - We are once-overed re- peatedly and ogled by the boys with the but we know what we are about and our whereabouts, too. Men have viewed with alarm the en- trance of woman in the political arena as though she were about to knock the stuffings out of the old parties. But 10 years of suffrage have seen only a couple of woman governors and a few ladies in Congress. What women want 1s. freedom for themselves, for home consumption. They don’t want the kind of freedom that is supposed to come when they, like the men, get mixed up in political scraps. You can see just how a decade of Ub- erty has affected them. It has meant only life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- Ppiness without political jokers in it. Let the men look us over from the bald-headed row, if that's what they want. They’ll see only self-propelled and self-respecting sisters of the big human family. If we have to be viewed, we don't want to be viewed with alarm, If the men can’t point to us with pride, they can look upon us with eyes which don’t leer and wink. * (Copyright, 1930.)

Boyle Co., Cincinnati, O, QUID POLISH Must Quarrelsome Parents Separate to Insure Their Child’s Peace?—Does a Wild Youth Lead to a Happy Middle Age? Telephone Grafter. DEAR MISS DIX—My husband and I both came from homes of strife, in which our fathers and mothers quarreled continually, and 15 years ago when we started out on our own matrimonial venture we made a solemn pledge to each other that we would live together in harmony and that our children should look back upon a peaceful and happy home. But now we have fallen into our parents’ fault. My husband has a terrible temper, and when he gets angry there is nothing too insulting for him to say to me before our child, belittling me in her eyes. I stand it as long as I can and then I retort in kind, while my little girl sobs and cries. Then follow sev- eral weeks of no speaking. Everything is exactly as it was in the wretched homes we came from. I have been talking the whole situation over with my husband, and think we should separate. I was a good stenographer before I married and can sup- Bol’t myself. I suggest we put our little girl in a good school. I could live close y and have her with me for week ends and my husband could go to see her whenever he likes. He does not agree to this proposition. He wants to keep on just as we are, although he admits that he has no control over his temper. ‘We have a lovely home and all that goes with it, and her father loves the child absorbingly. We are all so miserable. What can we do?—R. L. Answer—I do not think there could be a sadder than this nor a more pathetic situation than the one it pictures, for nothing can be more pitiful than to see two people with all the material for happiness in their hands deliberately throwing it away. ‘There are so many women married to brutes of men who mistreat them and abuse them and are unfaithful to them. There are so many men married to women who are unprincipled and whom they cannot trust. So many men mar- ried to extravagant wives, and wives who do nothing to make them comfortable. ‘There are 50 many childless couples. There are 50 many homes in which there is the pinch of poverty, and in which the husband and wife live in continual dread of the future. But you have everything. Prosperity, a beautiful home, a husband and wife who are honorable and who do their duty in all material matters. You have a lovely little girl at your door. God has been very good to you. You are wrecking your home. You are killing your love for each other. You are contemplating orphaning your child and depriving her of the atmos- phere in which she should grow up. You are ruining her life just for the sake of the pleasure of indulging your tempers. Do you think it is worth the price? Sit down and figure out the cost. The | murdering of each other’s love and respect, for no affection can_survive the hideous_charges that temper-crazed people bring against each other in their fury. Your own self respect, because after you have given way to your pas- sions and have raved and mouthed like a maniac you are bound to feel that you have degraded yourself and descended into the Very gutter. But the heaviest price you pay is in the irrevocable harm you do to your child. That you make her unhappy and shatter her young life is the least part of it, though a child can no more bloom in a home that is filled with the quarrels and hatreds of her parents than a rose could flower in a dark cellar where it got no sunshine or fresh air. But the unhappiness of children in a quarrelsome home blights them for life. Police officials and social workers tell us that 75 per cent of the wayward girls and boys come out of homes that were places of perpetual strife and con- tinual fights between the parents. And neurologists tell us that the injury done to & child’s nervous system by being brought up in a home of discord and hlvin&w witness the battles of its parents is irreparable and manifests itself in a thousand ways in later life. One noted psychiatrist has made the assertion that he has never known a case of nervous breakdown of & man or woman who was the child of parents | | who loved each other and who got along harmoniously together. 8o, if you love your child and desire her welfare you will control your 'mper, no matter at what cost. I should think that one glance at the poor, little, trembling, weeping creature, terrified of the two fighting animals who are her parents, would make you bite your tongue off rather than say one word in reply to your husband, no matter what insults he offers you. Of course, if neither one of you will control your temper it is certainly bet- ter for you to part and give the child a peaceful home, even if it is in a school. But why not _control 'Xlour tempers? It is folly to say that it cannot be done. You control them in the outside world, why not at home?

I will take what advice you give me. TOM. Answer—If you will take my advice, Tom, you will stick to the ht and narrow way, for that is the oniy way that leads to happiness. Don't listen to those who tell you to eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow we dle, because, &s a matter of fact, we don't dle. For most of us there are many tomorrows, and they are very sad and lonely days, filled with the bitterness of regret, if we have wasted our youth in riotous } llvlni;r,‘ and if we have nothing left but wrecked nerves and dyspepsia and ill Look about you, Tom, at the men in their 70s who are still at the head of [ big affairs, who live in fine houses and ride in luxurious cars, and who are held in | honor and esteem in the community. And look at the other old men who live in | Ch“% boarding houses, or who are dependent on their children or some relatives, | or who hold you up and ask for a dime for a cup of coffee. Shabby, ashamed, utter fallures, looked down upon with contempt. Which of these two groups would you rather belong to when you are old? | The choice is yours The prosperous old men are the ones who, when they were boys of your age, made the most of their opportunities in college, who studied and worked and gave their energles to forward their ambitions instead of using them up in going on sprees. And, believe me, Tom, they have had a lot more fun and got a lot more kick out of life in matching their wits against other men, in achieving and triumphing, in knowing that they were doing something for their country and their age, than the poor little weaklings ever got. i ‘When you put all thoughts of religion and God and high ideals and a seri- | ous purpose out of your life, Tom, you have thrown away all chance for the hap- | piness that lasts. For nothing goes so stale and flat as pleasure. In a little while you will burn out your stomach with bootleg whisky, and your forced laughter crackling of thorns under a pot, and you will when you try to be gay will be the be nothing but a poor, lonely old man. It is the people who cling to the worth- ppy ones. DOROTHY DIX. while things who are the lumml_onss and the .. DIAR MISS DIX—Is there any way to abate the telephone grafter?

And the common participation in a desert experience was to knit together the hearts of these two brothers as they had never been knit before. Aaron had doubtless met Moses hun- dreds of times previous to this meeting in the wilderness. They had doubtless been in constant intercourse during the time Moses lived in the palace as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. Probably Aaron had been a guest at the palace on many gay and festive occasions. But their meeting in the quiet and lonely region of Mount Horeb was to draw them together as they had never hitherto been drawn together. It was to reveal each to the other in a new light, and unite them in the bonds of a new sympathy and companionship.

ROBABLY the smallest man with the voice in the United States Senate is the wiry, gray-haired Carter Glass of Virginia. Once hear his voice and it will be long before it is forgotten. Nor will it be necessary to ask what State he rep- resents. That strikingly peculiar accent of Virginians is no better illustrated in the voice of Senator Glass. When he is speaking in the Senate chamber one unconsclously Southern “suh,” al- though it is rare that he does. And when he is engaged excitedly in debate one expects any moment that the deep resonance and quality of his voice will be lost, but it never is. ‘When he gets angry—as he did re- cently when “Doc” Copeland tried to tell him how many people in his home towns were radio fans—his voice booms and can be heard in the most remote corner of the gallery. Outside the Senate chamber his voice is much the same. The Virginia accent is more easily observed, the rich quality only the more evident. In conversation there is a whimsical note in his volce, which, when he tells an anecdote, is capable of almost con- vulsing one with laughter. The story of why he quit swi earing and the man- ner in which he tells it is famous on Capitol Hill. According to the Senate, even at the age of 5 he was rather adept in the art of swearing. One day he wanted to go swimming with some older boys, but they refused him. Enraged, he uttered an oath and reached down in the road to pick up & stone with which to exgruu further his displeasure. Keept is eyes on the boys, he picked up what he thought was > | & stone, but found to his horror it was a 6-foot black snake. “Well,” drawls the Senator, “that reptile just naturally caused me to for- get every cuss word I knew for 40 years.” Honors are nothing new to 75-year- old Eddie Savoy, the colored personal messenger to Secretary Stimson, who for almost 60 years has been connected with the State Department. When Chief Justice Taft went down to the State Department to administer the oath to Secretary Stimson last year he sought out bow-legged Eddie and paid a special visit. And there have been many other honors. But Eddie got one of the biggest thrills of his life the other day. Opening a little box addressed to him, he found a handsome diamond stickpin and a note from Ambassador Debuchi of Japan, presenting the pin on behalf of the Japanese delegation to the Lon- don Arms Conference. It was a souvenir of their visit to Washington last month and an appre- ciation of Eddle's courtly manner toward them. sometimes hear that some other loaf is “as good as Bond Bread.” When people want to speak in the highest terms of anything, they say that “it is as good as gold.” Of course, it is not as good as gold un- less it is gold, and no bread can be as good as Bond Bread unless * it is Bond Bread.
