WOMAN’S PAGE. Seérving Course Meal for Guests BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It has become so customary for wom- en to do their own housework that ways and means of performing the tasks in the simplest ways are eagerly sought. It must be acknowledged that even so, the services of at least one maid are sorely missed at times. This is true when the homemaker entertains. If THE HOSTESS SERVED EVERY COURSE HERSELF. she enjoys giving little dinners and having friends come in for luncheons also, the serving of the meals without confusion, and with hot dishes hot, and cold dishes cold, is something of a job. Let me suggest one method that can be used with much satisfaction. Serve the food from the kitchen. In this way each plate is supplied without any one ;esungly and sufficiently. Coffee was | | She told me the meal was greatly sim- | plified by having no table service dishes | One person, the hostess, can unob- | trusively slip out and in between courses | without missing too much of the con- | versation to keep posted in its interest and to add an occasional bit to it. Recently I attended a midday meal which we would call a luncheon, except that it was something distinctly “dif- ferent” from an American standpoint. It was in reality dejeunier a fouchette— a continental midday breakfast. What the dishes were and how the courses progressed, it is not my province to say today. If any one is interested write me, and if enough requests come in I | will tell you what the food was and in what order the courses came, and give some recipes. What is of moment just | now s the way it was served with great success, Each of the seven courses was served | from the kitchen. On the table were | bread and butter, salt and pepper and the beverage—neither tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate or wine, but cider. The deco- rations and the individual service plates, silver and glass dressed the table inte served later in the living room. The hostess evidently had everything in readiness, for she deftly removed one course and 'placed another before her | guests without any commotion and with | surprisingly short intervals of waiting. and by her being able to dish IIF the food by herself without interruption.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE Epecial Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 4 (N.AN.A.).—The return of Hollywood'’s emotion doctors to the studios marks the public demand for more poignance in their love scenes. The emotion doctors, or studio musi- cians, are part of the old regime which ‘went out with the coming of the micro- | phones. _Directors worked with cold | talent. Scenes mnhflned and re- rehearsed, then sllence of the sound stages fell upon every one as the cameras began to d. But from all over the country has come ‘a storm of protest at the cold quality of the love scene as played in the talkie. When it isn't cold it is branded “verbose,” or even “laughable.” Several of the leading lots have called back the boys the quavering violin to melting quality into their stars’ work. -These musicians cre- ate the atmosphere as of old, with the difference that when the rule for si- lence falls they, too, are mute. But their influence has already been felt. Directors report a decided warming up of talent since the return to the original method of arousing emotion. Ben Lyon will play opposite his flancee, Bebe Daniels, in her next pic- ture. This is a novelty long since Erom- ised Daniels fans, but one whicl lengthy production schedule of “Hell's Angels,” which has run on into the years, has prohibited. Lyon is now free of the celluloid albatross which has kept him in one picture and away from the public for several seasons. This Hollywood engagement, which is | of more than a year’s duration, has | fallen under the skeptics’ ban because | of its lengthiness. Village gossips are | hard put to it these days to find a fine | morsel. So many of the romances played | up for the public interest are really all | in the interest of the box office that it | is difficult to scent the workings of Eros. One gentie of purplish temperament | who arrived in Hollywood last season | ‘was frankly peddled around among the ‘woman stars who rieeded publicity as an | engagement asset.

After some scouting, the story runs, the gentie found good material in a lady whose brilliant reign threatened to be obscured by the exigencies of modern picture making.

More- over, on such a shelf they are safe from mice or other household vagrants that sometimes will enter our houses despite constant vigilance. If the cereal is all in covered containers, there is no rea- son why it should be kept in a cup- board. It is always best. if possible, to keep one dish just for cooking cereal. Thus there is no chance that it should take up flavors from strong vegetables or: other strong food. | night Cremed Magnesia clears the skin in the same easy way that milk of mag- mesia purifies the stomach Test it on those clogged nose pores that stand out so boldly.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 4, 1856—The exciting sport of horse racing with sleighs on Pennsyl- vania avenue during the last few weeks, has resulted in a challenge from at least one Baltimorean who thinks his horse can win against any horse that the people of Washington or vicinity can bring out. The gentlemen from Baltimore, who drove their horses over here and raced them before cheering crowds that lined Pensylvania avenue, a few days ago, believe that Washingtonians, in render- ing their judgment, were too partial to Wit 5 r am Byrne now proposes to back up the Baltimore view with a wager of $1,000. “In the local columns of The Star of 1st instant, in your report fo sleighing,” says Mr. Byrne in a letter published to- day, “you say the Baltimore horses were beaten, according to the estimate of the Washingtonians, who may have been partial to home in forming their judg- ment in regard to the trial of speed on the Avenue on the day in question. “I can only say that I think you could have said, without the slightest risk of being mistaken, that they have been very partial to home; for in regard to my horse Pilot, I say that no horse beat him, nor did I think that any person present was under that impression. ving great respect for Washing- tonians, and being one myself by birth, nothing would afford me more pleasure than to have a match with Paddy for $1.000, or any other horse that was on the Avenu- that day, and I will agree to drive Pilot from Baltimore one day and trot the race the next.” In The Star's report of the sleigh racing on January 31, it was stated that “Poor Old Paddy,” the sorrel pacing horse of Mr. James Roach of Alexandria County, Va., “laid out cold” the 2.36 horse of Mr. Byrne.. “Where is the Clerk of the Weather?" asks The Star today. “Is he drunk or malicious, or what is the occasion of his serving out to us such a set of ‘spells’ afid ‘snaps'—such contradictory, | snowy, slishy, blowy, freezing, semi- hourly turns of the weather vane? We can hardly say ‘it thaws’ before it freezes.

JOHN MUNCE. JR. Finesseing will be the subject for this article, and as we are discussing the plays of the declarer, it is well to Temember that in actual play the ma- | Jority of high-card combinations pro- duce better results if the lead be toward the high cards, or the hand containing two honors. Your chances of winning 8 “finesse” are fifty-fifty, as you will lose as many as you will win, but the | times that you will win are so worth | While that with the proper holdings it is often a most important trick-gaining | play, and one with which many tricks | are won. It should not be tried unless the lead be from the hand which does not contain the high cards. There are many combinations which should be led toward, but in finessing you are trying to catch the missing honor, and to finesse to catch a queen the total num- ber of cards of the suit in the two hands should be less than nine: but | with & total of nine you should lead the ace, and then the king, with the hope | that the queen will be alone or singly Buarded. This can best be explained With an illustration: Declarer holds— Spades—Ace, queen, jack. Biotans %eb g, 3. Clubs—Ace. king. 7. 8. Leader, or second hand, holds— Bt R 7.5, 3 s—King, 7. 5. 3. Diamonds —Gueen. 4. Sl Sheen it 2. Dummy hand contains— Spades—10. 7. 4, 2. Bamaateiohy Clubs—5,3. " * ¥ Leader's partner, or fourth hand, holds— Spades—King, 9. 5. 3. Hearts_10, Diamonds—King, jack. 9. 7. I . 8, 6. ack, 1. Clubs—10, Declarer is playing a no-trump decla- ration, and by looking at this hand, you will see we are considering an ace, queen, jack, tenace. The first lead is the 3-spot of clubs. Now declarer, be- fore he touches a card in dummy, plans his hand. He realizes that he can win tricks with his four aces and the king of ciubs, but he needs four more tricks to make game. The only chance of getting these extra tricks is to win them with the two queens and the two jacks, but there is the possibility of them be- ing taken with a king in the adver- sary’s hand. This would certainly be the case if declarer should lead the suit from the hand which contains three honors. Declarer, after taking the first club trick in his hand, should lead a small heart and finesse the jack of hearts in dummy's hand. He then should lead a small spade from dummy and make the same finesse in spades by playing the jack from his own hand. This would give him the chance to take three tricks in the suit he is then leading. Of course, you must realize that your chances to lose are just as great as your chances to win, but declarer cannot get game, or three odd, if he finesses only once in each sul therefore he must make the lead toward the hand containing the honors twice and take a second finesse. This is necessary, as leading from the hand which holds the tenace would allow the king, if still guarded, to win a trick, which would have been the case had the original lead of the suit come from Should the king have been played on the first or second trick, it would have been taken with the ace and three tricks won just the same. éuvory Meat Loaf. ‘To half a pound of ground lean pork and one pound of ground beef add one cupful of bread crumbs which have been soaked in half a cupful of milk, to | which have been added one egg, one chopped green pepper, one chopped onion, one tablespoonful of salt and one | teaspoonful of pepper. Mix thoroughly, | then make a sauce from two cupfuls of tomato juice, two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and four tablespoonfuls of | butter and pour over the meat loaf.| Bake until done.

My Neighbor Says: To avoid breaking the icing on a cake when cutting it, put the knife used for cutting into boiling water for a few seconds. Put a tablespoonful of salt in the water in which potatoes are boiled, even when you boil them in their skins. A’ little of the salt gets through the skins and helps to flavor the vegetables. Bath towels that are worn may be cut into squares and made into washcloths by crocheting shell stitches around the edges with pink or blue silk-finished cotton. Before placing a cake in the oven test the heat by putting a pinch of flour at the bottom. If in a minute. this turns black the oven is too hot, if a_dirty yellow it is too cool, if a bright golden brown the oven is the right heat.

Hospital Preference proves the importance of Kotex to your health Authorities in 85% of America’s leading hospitals now insist upon Kotex absorbent . . . proving its hygienic safety. F there is one time above all others when you want hygienic security, a feeling of safety and ab- solute comfort, it is when you are selecting sanitary protection. That is why you will appreciate the fact that America’s great hospitals (85% of them) are now using Kotex absorbent. Cellucotton—not cotton Hospitals know this as Cellucotton absorbent wadding. It is not cot- ton, but a cellulose product which, for sanitary purposes, performs the same function as the softest of cot- ton, with 5 times the absorbency. The marvelous absorbency of Cellucotton explains why Kotex stays soft longer. This protection gives greater safety and security be- cause it absorbs away from the sur- face, not in just one particular spot. Soft, lasting protection It is well designed, it won't twist and bulge, it can’t pack. Sometimes there is a deceptive softness about a pad which soon turns to chafing, uncomfortable stiffness’ after it's worn. That isn't true of Kotex, as you will soon discover when you try it. . Then, of course, there is the rea- son most women first began to use Kotex: it is disposa- ble.
