SHERLOCK noLMEs-Fox's.

Four acts OF snappy. entertaining
and harmonious vaudeville acts at
Fox's make an excellent support for
the feature picture, starring John
Barrymore, one of Americas premier
thespians in the greatest of all de-
tective plays, Sherlock Holmes. The
second of the Baby Peggy comedy
series is also being shown, while for
the last half of the week the screen
version Of the sensational stage mel
odrama, The Ninety and Nine, will be
the attraction. Thus, all week Fox's
is offering bill difficult. if not i'm
possible, to equal.
True to A. Conan Doyles great de-
tective story, this picture even was
partly filmed in the limehouse dis
trict of London.
Combining a story of big city life
and lures with small town love and
gossip, The Ninety and Nine, which
opens Thursday afternoon, presents a
cross section of American life that
Is enhanced by the love story run
ming through it and the smashing
climax to the picture.

DESSERT
BY BERTHA f. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University


What to have for dessert is one of
the questions housekeeper has to
answer daily
If the meal has been heavy, des-
sert should be light,
If fish has been served, fruit is ac-
ceptable.
Never serve q custard or very soft
smooth dessert when the meat or fish
has been boiled.
Prepared gelatin puddings are a
great convenience. The lemon flavor
is a good foundation for a snow pud
ding. Sage, tapioca, rice, eornmeal
and farina are excellent for buildings,
combined with apples. canned fruit
and the dried sweet fruits, like figs,
prunes and dates. Fritters are ia
iorites with most people and, in cold
weather. griddle cakes and waffles.
The commonest complaint against
pie and steamed puddings is that
they cause stomach difficulty, but
100 often the reason is that we eat
them after a very sufficient meal.

LABOR LEADER AGAIN
 DIMES WITH ROYALTY
Macdonald Becomes Accustomed To
 His Crowned Friends

LONDON, March l5.-tBy Associ ated Press)-For the second time within a fortnight J. Ramsay Mac Donald. leader of the labor party. tonight dined with royalty-this time at Buckingham palace, whither he. with the leaders of the various par ties and their wives and prominent society folk, was bidden, to break bread with the King and Queen.
 The dinner was of a seml-s state character. Forty-one guests were seated at number of round tables.
 From the point Of view of some sections of the labor party dining with their majesties is becoming quite habit with Mir. Macdonald, who. judging from the "savoir faire" with which he mingled with the Kings guests, seems rather to enjoy his new social position.
 The impression had gained circu- lation that the labor members of the House of Commons who dined with the King and Queen few days ago at Viscount and Lady Astor's home were included in tonight's list of guests, but later 1t was learned that Ramsay Macdonald was the only la borite invited to Buckingham palace.
 Among the guests were Premier Bonar Law, the Duke of Devonshire. MT. and Mrs. Lloyd George, the Earl and Countess of Dartmouth and Wis., count and Lady Astor.
