gion until it was wiped out after
seven months of fighting in the
trenches. He then asked for a trans
fer to the aero corps and began train
ing. In the meantime his brother
had decided to remain in Paris and
he began as special correspondent
there for several American newspa'
pers, which he now is serving.

The Washington herald., 1916-12-25

De Wolfe Hopper Is a big, jolly, good
natured man Of feet 4 inches, who al
ways has barrel Of laughs ready to
dole out to his friends. There Is ever
a delightful fire of wit between Raymond
Hitchcock and Mr.. Hopper, who lives at
our hotel, which we. the audience. enjoy
hugely.
Not many days ago Mr.. Hopper re
turned from a trip to Boston. He had
much to say about the beauties of the
city but from what we could gather was
most impressed by the Indian pudding
served him at one Of the hotels!
when q man reaches my age" Mr.
Hopper remarked with a grand-fatherly
tone, "he becomes tremendously interest
ed in his three meals a day-in fact all
his joys, sorrows and dissapointments
seem to hover around what Is served him
for breakfast, luncheon and dinner"
He described at such poetical length
this delectable Indian pudding with Its
ice cream sauce that 1t whetted all our
appetites and We persuaded Mr.. Hopper
to write to the clever chef In Boston
and secure the recipe.
The recipe arrived. The chef in our
hotel, although he regarded it rather
superciliously, prepared an enormous
dishful the other evening. And here is
what happened. according to Mr.. Hopper's
story.
IAN day long practically starved my
self in anticipation of the event.
thought of nothing else, talked of moth
ing else. I made my friends mouths
water and had them green with Jealousy
until I promised them a treat at the
supper table. This much accomplished,
proceeded. The head waiter was given
orders to serve my particular friends, and
to spare my enemies, and to reserve an
extra large portion for my enjoyment.
Unfortunately, I arrived there a little
late. just as Raymond Hitchcock wal
finishing his dinner. Drawing up my
chair beside his, I ordered a light re-
past. then remarked in a mysterious
whisper. Have you heard any gossip
about an Indian pudding?'
Not syllable" replied Raymond
Hitchcock.
II was glad. 1t afforded me another
opportunity of telling the delightful
story and indulging in a few moments
more OF anticipation.
Raymond Hitchcock was pleased
Are you sure you are going to have
enough for yourself?' he asked. I don't
want to impose on your good nature.
Keeping the secret Of the extra large
portion, laughed generously, and with
a flourish Of my hand. gave orders tc
the waiter.
There l sat, beaming from ear to ear
while 1 watched him gobble, holding back
on my own dessert because 1 must con.
fess I was a little bit ashamed to ad.
init had been piggish enough to order
two whole portions for myself!
Raymond Hitchcock left and called
the waiter over.
Bring on my pudding demanded In
the manner OF old King Cole.
Why. you ordered IL for Mr.. Hitch
cockP the head waiter apologized.
OF course i ordered IL for Mr.. Hitch
cock. Now bring me mine
But that was yours and the head
walters eyes grew round and terrified.
Mfner and my voice roared across
the dining-room until they heard It on,
in the lobby OF the hotel
DO you mean to tell me there Is nc
more OF that pudding left?

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
THE AFTER-cHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

In the shops after the Christmas rush
the great task is that Of clearing up and
taking stock. So in our homes, after
Christmas We should little by little take
stock. During the rush of getting ready
for the great event we have neglected
many things. I am quite sure you have
not thought much about the mending or
darning for a fortnight or so, except to
see that husband and children had barely
enough holeless socks and stockings on
which to get through the week. So while
the greens are still hung at the windows
and while the Christmas spirit is still
aglOw in your heart begin the rather diff
hcult task Of making amends for the
Christmas rush.
Remember that although the days are
beginning to lengthen winter has a good
way still to run-and that means that
winter clothes are by no means ready to
be packed away in camphor. Why, we
have hardly begun the business of wear
Ing winter clothes, even though some OF
the shops do show spring hats and light
frocks for Southern wear. And because
OF this you should go over every heavy
coat and see that the lining is in con-
dition to Withstand the wear and tear of
several months. II the damage is not
something that you can repair yourself
take the garment to the tailor and have
1t mended as economically and as well as
possible.
Winter shoes. too. should be repaired
and winter hats should be given little
attention at this juncture. One does not
hear very much about mending hats, still
the fact remains that the life and use
fulness Of a hat would be quite a bit
longer than It is II We made a practice
of mending our hats about once a month
First they should be thoroughly brushed
and then they should be examined for
any loose or frayed trimming or ribbon.
A stitch in time when 1t comes to hat
trimming saves not only tnine but many
times nine.
Then there 10 much to be done at this
time Of year m the way of renovating
the linen supplies OF the house. Re-
member that the best time of year to
buy bed linens Is in January and Feb
ruary. So some day when you have time,
assemble all your linen and make I'D
your mind just what you will need before
another year has passed. Repair the old.

Mercury in trine to Saturn indicates
great increase In productiveness, but this
will be attended by many labor difficul-
ties.
Danger in a concentration Of power in
Washington, D. c., is foreseen and ma
donal strife concerning public questions
is again prophesied.
Women should beware Of unrest and
discomfort today. The stars may give
them insight that is disturbing to their
self-esteem. but It will be helpful IL 1t
does not breed domestic dissensions.
Marriage laws will come to the front
for worldwide discussion in the next
few months. DIVORCES will continue to
increase in number
Children will occupy more attention
than at any time in history and scientists
and reformers will concentrate on ef-
forts to conserve the best materials for
future citizenship
Writers should benefit greatly TODAY.
Famous authors will encourage reforms
of far-reaching scope.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is should
attend strictly to the practical affairs OF
life, during the coming year Litigation
will be unfortunate.
Children born on this day will be rash,
headstrong and impetuous. Their lives
will be most unusual in varied expert
ences.

Early today good influences prevail.

1t is a day in which the thought of

There Is a sign which promises a uni-

to q children's party. They passed a bowl
Of apples around and in the bowl was

plumper and better looking than the

had our eyes upon It!
But so did the little boy at my left

My mother heard the story and was
very much amused by It.
Suppose this little boy had not taken
the apple, would you have left It on
the plate and passed it along to the
children on the other side OF you?"
