Going Forward With the Calendar BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ries, but to an even larger degree it is tion | & day in which the mind travels for- ward. It is one famous for good resolu- tions. Because one qften fails to con- tinue to act on such resolutions a policy has sprung up of discounting the resolu- tions themselves. This seems scarcely fair, and it certainly is cramping to the spirit of adventure. It is this latter spirit that gives pur- pose and Zest to the forward glance into the New Year. Whether one takes the initiative, and determines that the year shall be one in which the adventures it holds shall be influenced for good b: well thought out plans and high wishes, or not, there is one thing certain, each new year is one of adventure. Each day during it one “must venture forth” to meet what it holds in store whether | this venturing is in the realm of one’s thoughts or in the physical stepping out | to tackle situations. | The adventurous path of the new year opens to us today. Whether we really have a happy new year depends so largely upon the way we walk along it, how we take its adventures, that it is worthwhile making a favorable de- cision. It may be called a New Year | resolution or & New Year wish with a solid backing of determination.

When the ponds at the Monument and Chevy Chase were favorite gather- ing places for Washington skaters? Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. It seems almost too good to be true— to have a plant stand that is adjustable like that shown in the illustration. When it comes time to bring the plants into the house in the Fall, there is always a general rearranging of fur- nishings in order to accommodate them without having them appear to crowd the room—and this is a real accom- plishment. However, with a base such as this, think how easy it would be to have | several plants without having to sacri- fice any more room to them than is necessary for one plant on a stand. The arms are adjustable and the fin- ish may be rust, black or antique green —the choice of this depending, of course, upon the color scheme of the room in which the stand is to be used. Here is an opportunity for a pleasing arrangement of pottery. Each pot may be of an individual color or design, or they may all be alike, but in these days of modern decoration several different colors: or several shades of one color would be effective. e bz */SELF RISING FLOUR X WANUFACTURED BY VIO REGERS ML) WASHINGTON,D.C. |‘k STAR. WASHINGTON, D. DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Folly of Attempting to Prevent a Widowed Father’s Remarrying. EAR MISS DIX—I am 27 years old and since my mother's death have kept house for my father. At first he was very pleasant and we were like companions. but now a lot of women are running after him trying to marry him, and he never notices me or takes me out anywhere and is very cross and disagreeable to me. Also, he is never willing to give me any money to spend for clothes that I really need. I am an only child and I have done my best to make him a hn:a{)y home, but I do not seem to be able to please him in any way. What shall I do? ‘WORRIED DAUGHTER. Answer.—Evidently your father is thinking about getting married again and he is finding you a burden and wants to get rid of you so that he can bring some other woman, who probably objects to you to the house. Sooner or later he will do so, and you will be wise if you make a good bargain with him. Tell him that you will go and leave the coast clear if he will give you enough money to go and fit yourself to become self-supporting. Now is the time for you to secure your future, for after 27 it is not easy for a woman to learn a new trade and make a fresh start in life. ‘You will make a mistake if you stay at home, fumnz up with your father's surliness and getting older and older and less capabls of making your own living, for eventually he will marry and then you will find yourself supplanted in the home and forced to live on with a stepmother with whom you will quarrel. No women are more forlorn than the daughters who have given their youth tnlds;]rv\ng their parents and who are left dependent and helpless in their own middle age. Don't waste any effort in trying to keep your father from marrying. H> will do it anyway and you will really be far better off and happier out on your own than you will be with him. Grumpy old men are hard to get along with. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1031.) BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JOHN MU; IR, The “talk” today is to be about the original bids of t®o no trump. The one bids are the only ones affected by your positon at the table, but when it comes to bidding two no trumps, we have the same requirements for all players. Using the count for the high cards of 4 for any Ace, 3 for a King, 2 for a Queen, 1 for a Jack, and one for 2 10s, with a total count of 17, and all four suits stopped, any player at the table is hiH vided, of course, that he has not a better suit bid in his hand. The hand just | below illustrates this bid. X, 2. 5! Clubs—J., 10, Any player holding this hand should | bid two no trumps, counting Ace and King of Spades as 7, King and Queen of Hearts as 5, King of Diamonds as 3, Jack of Clubs as 1, and the 2 10s in the | hand as an additional 1 count, you have | a count of 17, and all four suits stopped, and no suit bid in this hand. Here is another example of a two no trumph bid: | Spades—a., 8. Hearts—K., J, 10, 6. | Diamonds—A., J.. 10. Clubs—K., 9, 7, 5. In counting this hand the Ace of | Spades counts 4, King and Jack of Hearts 4, Ace and Jack of Diamonds 5, | King of Clubs 3, and the 2 10s count 1. Here again is & count of 17, and all four suits stopped. Many players prefer to bid two no | trumps with all four suits stopped, and do not recommend bidding two other- | wi There are many strong hands | with only three suits stopped, arid better than a worthless doubleton in the fourth | suit, on which experience has shown | that it is better to bid two no trumps than just one. But do not under any circumstances bid two no trumps when | your hand contains three strong suits | and a worthless doubleton. When hold- ling a hand with three strong suits and better than a worthless doubleton, and a count of 19, any player, at any po- sition at the table may bid two no AR T i A Valuable Opinion —is that given by a leading special- ist in stomach disorders—in a lec- ture to a student class in George- town University recently—to the effect that “baking powder bis- cuit, properly made, is the easiest digested of all bread.” ERE’S where Self-Rising Washington Flour demonstrates its superiority and its efficiency.

Two pounds of steak from the thick | end of a leg of lamb may be used for this dish, or loin chops with the bones removed, or boned rib chops. The meat should be cut in convenient pieces and browned quickly on the outside over a very hot fire.

He is Willlam wirt Hastings of Oklahoma, for something like 14 years a Representa- tive of the second district of that State. When he arises to express an opin=- ion on legislation affecting the In- dian, he is heard. And it is not be- cause he is a mem- ber of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, for he is not. They listen to him because by blood he is an-Indian himself—a Cherokee. One hardly would suspect it to see him. Those piercing black eyes give the only clue to his ancestry-—those and his intense interest in seeing that the Indian gets a square deal. In fact, it is a tribute to the man that once when a bill dealing with the MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Table for Sick Child. When®Junior had to stay in bed with & broken leg he had a homemade play table which was certainly a source-of much joy to him and a great conveni- ence to me. Buddy got a wooden box from our grocer, knocked out the sides and secured the ends with brackets from the 5 and 10 cent store. Painted green, it made a fine table for toys and for using in serving Junior's meals. Assiniboine tribe was up in the House, Jack Garner, the Democratic leader, was moved to make the facetious obser~ vation: “It looks to me as if the Indian Com- mittee would really give the Capitol to the Indians if they wished it. 1 hope this bill does not involve title to this bullding . . .” Hastings was backing the measure and is a Democrat. The Oklahoma Representative is an authority on questions involving his people. He received his education at th> Cherokee Male semlnar;‘. graduat- ing there in 1884. Later he was an honor man in his law class at Vander- bilt University. Almost from the start of his career he has fought the cause of his people. Two years after graduating from law school he took up the duties of attorney general for the Cherokee Nation and served for four years. Since 1890—one year after completing his law course at V.nderbilt—h> has represented the Cherokee Nation in winding up its tribal affairs before the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes and the dcpartments in Washington. From 1907 to 1914 he served as na- tional attorney for the Cherokee tribe. In the latter year he came to Congress for the first time. He has been re- turned to every Congress since at time except on=—the sixty-seventh. That he hasn't permitted his interest: in Indian affairs to slow up as the years go on is evidenced by the activity in this respect during the present Cons. gress. His official record shows that he has repeatedly introduced bills and resolutions in behalf of Indians and is invariably at hand to aid in their pas- sage. Mrs. Hastings, too, is of Indian blood. And there are three children, one of whom bears the good Cherokee name of ‘“Ahnawake.” Horseradish Jelly.

For each service fry four strips of bacon to & delicate brown, then drain on soft paper.
