WOMAN’S PAGE. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER, ERHAPS the most famous of all brands of wit and humor in the Capital—certainly on the Hill—is that of Speaker Nick Longworth. Great is his reputation as the author of stories and wisecracks that may be successfully retold. Those who come in contact with him are eager to be around when Speaker Nick is in a jovial mood. A familiar query is you heard est?” whenever one his colleagues it especially _anxious to impress the $olks back home, he takes one of his constituents in to see Longworth. He | that was all. course of the evening, was induced to sing. There was much applause, and Longworth arose and sald “I used to have an old friend, a cap- tain on the Ohio_ River, out in Cin- cinnati, of whom I was quite fond. I went away from Cincinnati and the old captain dropped out of my life for many years. Then one day, wandering back to my old haunts, I encountered him. “He was sitting on the dock smoking his pipe. My arrival did not seem to excite him in the least. He spoke to me in a friendly enough manner, but Finally I said to him: “‘Captain, you don't seem to be overly glad to see me.’ “The captain thought for a moment, took his pipe out of his mouth, gazed down the river and replied “ ‘T ain't sorry to see you and I ain't glad to see you. I jes' don't give a rap.’ “And that,” said Longworth, “is just how I feel about singing another never fails to make a visitor feel at home Recently a congressman took a visi- tor from home into the Speaker's office. | “Mr. Speaker,’ he said, “this is Mr —, who has come down to Washington to find out what Congress | is doing.” | “Well,” drawled Longworth, “if he finds out, I hope he lets us know.” | Many and varied are stories credited | to him. One of the best and most characteristic was put into circulation after a function attended by old cronies of the House. One of these, during the MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE song.” SpeaRer Nick’s reputation as a ra- | conteur is not confined to the House wing of the Capitol. It is not an un- | common sight to see him stroll over to the Senate Chamber from the House, single out a group of old friends in the cloakroom and swap yarns with them. | The press galleries, too, are quick to pick up his latest story and pass it along. Few newspaper men have not come to know a member of Congress | better or understand a situation more | thoroughly as a result of Speaker | Nick's sense of humor, NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Bpecial Dispaich to The Star. f HOLLYWOOD, March 4 (NANA).— The Victorianization of Hollywood is the most interesting phase of her brief and dizzy career. Ankle-length frocks have brought la- dies back into fashion, and red-hot jazz babies now occupy the mortifying posi- tion of back numbers. Alice White was the first jazz baby to see the com- ing avalanche of demureness. For some time now I have been recording her pri paredness for the new change in cu: toms—that and the advent of romance Now that she is en route East to be- come Mrs. Sid Bartlett, the village loses one of its popular red-hots for all (‘Ame.‘ may bring them into the theater, but new names do not keep them standing on gutter edges for hours of a freezing cold night. | Mabel Normand was buried with her hair arranged in curls and in a pink chiffon frock of the type she loved | best in the heyday of her fame.

This orgy of evening fashion display was once the| most_remarkable thing about a colony | which is changing faster from day to day than one can record. The latest attempt to keep the prole- taria’ lining the sidewalks of opening nights is the placing of chairs for them. This was tried out with great success at the most recent premiere in the vil- lage. When such service becomes cas- ual I recommend passing hot coffee among the sidewalk watchers, and as they grow more finicky and difficult to please the shaker might be brought into lay. = Our dear public loved the good old- time stars.

FRUIT TAPIOCA. Put three-fourths cup of pearl tapioca and one-half teaspoon of salt in a double boiler. Pour on one quart of boiling water. Stir it often and cook over boiling ‘water about an hour, or until soft. Add three tablespoons of sugar and one cup of jelly or preserves. The amount of sugar will vary with the amount of sugar in preserves. Apple sauce, stewed prunes, stewed rhubarb or any remnants of fruit may be used. Add the juice of one lemon if it lacks flavor. This may be molded and served cold, or after fruit is added bake 20 minutes and serve hot. If uncooked fruit is added or used bake until fruit is tender. Cream or milk is the best sauce for this. CREAM CAULIFLOWER. Remove the leaves, cut off stock and soek one-half hour, head down, in cold salted water, to draw out insects. Cook head up an hour or more in boiling salted water. Drain, seperate the flowerets and beat in a cream sauce. sustained characterizatious the colony has seen in many years Gilbert Roland is rot in such demand as my story of a lew days ago would indicate. The .umor of his intense| popularity among rival producers and| the efforts being made to sign him up for long-term cantracts is being circu- | lated, it would seem, to cover up the| fact that the gentie has not had his contract renewed at United Artists and | is not being fought over by other pro- ducers. and is one of the meteors of film- | dom. From an extra boy he sprang into the limelight as leading man for Norma Talmadge. But talkies have changed so many careers that he is not | alone in this general disturbance of careers. He is a reticent chap. with a| pleasing manner and no lack of pulchri- | tude. If he is having difficulties with | talkies, it is due to inexperience in voice usage—a fate common to all stars of silent screen, with a few outstanding exceptions. Hollywood boulevard is lined with: bookshops, and a lively trade goes on in circulating libraries. “Small-part play- ers and extra talent find fiction at 3 cents per day, the cheapest way to spend an evening. Sales are confined to | the more fortunate of the colony’s work- ing staff, and entire libraries are i stalled overnight in some of the hand- some homes of those signing new con- tracts. These people have often lived in hotel rooms and trunks for years. Their first gesture of success ‘is ‘the establishmenit of a home. | Even the Hollywood daddics get care- | less at times. This personal reveals | that fact: i “Daddy, you must send rent and etc., | Billie.” | (Copyright, 1930.) To Serve Turnips. Peas and Carrots in Turnip Cups.— Wash and peel some turnips, hollow them out to form cups, and boil in salted water until they are tender, then drain. Fill them with canned peas re- heated and carrots that have been cut into dice and cooked until tender. Add a small piece of butter and a little pap- rika. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley. Surprise Turnips.—Boll two cupfuls of turnips that have been pared and cut into one-inch dices, until tender. Prepare one pint of rich white sauce, to which add one-fourth cupful of grated | onion and one tablespoonful of chopped parsley. Remove from the fire and add the juice of one lemon and two hard- bolled eggs sliced. Pour over the tur. nips in a hot vegetable dish and garnish with small bunches of crisp fried parsley. It's quite modern and emphasized by plain woolen applied band trim at neck- line and down surplice front. The border effect in pointed outiine at up~ per edge is exceptionally smart. A surplice vest of plain yellow pique lends lingerie touch. Style No. 172 comes in sizes 16, 18, 20 years, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inches bust.

Chicago, IIL OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL In the course of a child's reading he will come across some creepy stories that will, as the term indicates, make his skin creep. The healthy normal child will rather enjoy the creeps, but nevertheless he will have a moment or two of shakiness. The long dark hall will make him halt and take second thought, and he may ask somebody to go down cellar with him while he | gets the apples. No harm will come to the chid unless he is in an excitable condition. Children who are recovering from a severe illness, children who have ex- citable temperaments, children who en- tertain fears, ought not to have creepy stories read 'to them before bedtime. They should have their ration of such i tales in broad daylight in the open air, where neither ghost nor goblin have so much as a hint of reality. Should & child remember a creepy story just at bedtime and ask for a light, let him have the light and the added strength to your cheerful com- pany up the dark stairway and down the long hall where the dancing shadows suggest uneasy spirits. nothing about the matter unless the child makes it necessary, take it all as a matter of course, as fairy tales and ghost stories must be taken, after all. ‘When you have a story hour before bedtime, and the children take to tell- ing ghost stories, be on guard. When the story is ended turn on the lights fall. Change the mood by having & little bite of refreshments such as chil- dren like—crackers and apples, thin can bread and butter and a cup of cocoa, | or milk. Then start them singing. Good rollicking airs at first, then grad- ually slowing down until the mood is right for the beautiful evening song. “Now the Day Is Over.” Send tl bed in that mood and the creepy story will not do them the least harm. Tt is when they carry the mood of the ghost tale along with them to bed that nightmares come. Shall we forbd ghost stories and the creepy tales? I am not in favor of forbidding children to hear stories, or to tell stories, that I know they are bound to hear, bound to read us have an instinct for the terrible, the mysterious. Unless that appetite is sat- isfled and redirected, it will rise to an- noy and trouble its victim endlessly. ‘The ration of creepy stories is very slight in proportion to the rest of the children’s reading. One need do nothing to foster a taste for it. Just let it alone and be on hand to counteract any ill effect by redirecting the chil- dren's thoughts into more normal nels. Say | and then | m to | All of | These tales belong to the children ‘\ of ‘early adolescent’ years. ‘They should | have no place in the training of little | children of tender vears. The nursery | stories ought to be graded according | to the powers of the children. Any | grisly items should be omitted for sensi- | tive children lest their world be peo- pled with shadows of terror. But I think any normal child can hear and read and enjoy Cock Robin, arrow and all. | NS i Frizzled Beef. ’ | Put a dessertspoonful of butter in a pan. When it melts add one and one- | half cupfuls of milk or cream, and into| this put half a pound of dried beef.| Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring | occasionally. Add four eggs and stir| | constantly until the eggs are cooked. No seasoning is needed.
