Herbert Kaufman

DUSSIA asks for a parley.
~ The Soviets evince willing
ness to discuss specific private
claims, propose mutual aban-
donment of propaganda in re-
spectivc territories, and request
an opportunity to prove the
stability and popularity of the
existing government.
Although Washington is
plainly convinced that Lenin,
Trotzky and Co. aren't fit in
ternational partners, the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hughes
won't weaken their stand by
justifying it in open confer
ence.
On the other hand, continued
refusal to negotiate with Mos
cow may furnish another plank
for radical platforms.
We can surely risk nothing
of national dignity or integrity
through a mere diplomatic con-
versation.
Besides, Tchitcherin shows a
pronounced inclination to call
a halt on the more or less
pestiferous interference with
self-determination, which he
admits and likewise lays at our
door.
Mexico's affronts to our
sovereignty were far worse than
the outrages we suffered at
the paws of the bear. And yet
common ground was found for
a composition of grievances
once we got down to hard pan.
The problem must be met
eventually, why not nolU?

Mrs. Bears smile faded quickly She hardly thought that cleaning MT Bear in that fashion would prove a pleasant task. But she couldn't very well refuse her husbands s request. So telling the children to help her, she began to lick the mud from MT. Bear. He lay perfectly still and closed his eyes while they worked.
 T don't like, the taste of this mud, ,' little Sikie Bear soon complained. "l don't want to lick any more of it."
 Neither do l." said Cuffy. Why can't Father wash it off ill the creek? 2"
 That's a good idea" Mrs. Bear de- ciared. Go down and take bath in the creek, Ephraim. We'll wait for you here.'
 "No!" answered MT. Bear in a sur ly tone. I'm not going down to the creek. I might get mired again."
 Then go to the river his wife suggested.
 No! I want you to get this mud off me here and now. Don't waste any more time in idle talk. If the mud stayed on me until it dried couldn't move. It would be as stiff as plaster"
 "I don't want to make the chil- dren lick any more of it," Mrs. Bear told him. Tt might make them ill"
 "Very well!" said he. But there's nothing to to prevent you from lick ing it." ..
 T don't like the taste myself" Mrs. Bear retorted.
 We started out to have d picnic today" Mir. Bear reminded her. This is the picnic. The mud is the lunch con. Just pretend that it's delicious If you pretend hard enough you won't mind the taste-not in the least.'
 So MT. Bear had his way. By the time Mrs. Bear had removed his coat ing of mud he was in very good spirits.
 Now we'll have our picnic!" he exclaimed.
 But we've already had it." said Mrs. Bear.

 Katherine nodded. I guessed from her compressed lips and steely eyes moment. and her slender figure was vibrant with anger, as she snatched her motor coat and a small hat from the hall closet and hurried out of the door.
 l paused only to put on my own coat and hat and get the bundle of uniforms before following her, but plaintive little voice arrested me.

 "If-if-" he began uncertainty. It was then that Mrs. Prescott s treeding showed itself. For, what ever may be the old fashioned ideas of the New Englanders, they still have certain kind of hospitality which must be shown upon all occasions. Mother Prescott came forward as though she had not seen Mir. Whit ney before, with extended hand and smiling face,
 My dear Mir. Whitney, you have made a very opportune call. l am sure my daughter Leslie was trying to think just how she would be able to get to the next town in time to make that train. She seems deter mined to be in Albany tomorrow.
 "Of course 1 hate to have her leave, but in talking with her hus- band, my son, this afternoon. it de- veloped that he was very lonely with out her. Under the circumstances could not keep her, could I?'
 Good Lord." l said to myself. If that isn't dismissal from the queen, I do not know what it is''

GOOD SALADS ARE 50
 REFRESHING
BY BERTHA E. SEIAPLEIGH
Of Columbia University

ITO remember a good dinner is tt remember good salad" some ont has said.
 What are the qualities which go tt the making of such salad? Ont rule is that all the salad plants ol vegetables used must be crisp, fresl and cold.
 For dinner salad French dress ing should be used, never mayon- the salad is to be served as a separate course. A salad of cucumbers, to- matoes or plain lettuce is much more appetizing if served with the meat or fish.
 Probably all salads depend more on the seasonings than on anything else. Three measures of oil and one measure of vinegar or lemon juice is good proportion for the average taste. For seasonings, salt, pepper, mustard, paprika, sugar and little onion if the dressing is to be used on vegetables or plain salad plants. A clove or bean of garlic left in the dressing for several hours and re- moved before the dressing is served gives flavor much to be desired.
 Fruit Suggestions
 For fruit salads omit the onion and mustard. Very good combinations of fruit and vegetables may be made, such as tomatoes and pineapple, pep pers and grapefruit, celery and apple, peaches and beets.
 Sandwiches are rapidly growing in favor for lunch or supper, and are made sufficiently hearty to serve as a main course. A meat sandwich and vegetable salad, with sweet or some fruit for dessert, make a satis- factory meal.
 Slices of cheese, cold chicken, ham or pork may be the filling. Then toast the sandwich quickly and serve On plate with pickles, olives or a lettuce, tomato or cucumber salad.
 Combinations
 Cold corned beef and cole -slaw cold tongue and sliced tomatoes cold pork sandwiches.
 The chopped cabbage may be mixed with mayonnaise or cooked dressing and the tomatoes dipped in French dressing, if one does not care for the 
 Instead of toasting the sandwich, occasionally fry it in butter, just enough to give a golden brown color.
 For "hikers," sandwich made of cold baked beans, mashed and sea- with ketchup or chili sauce. with sliced pickles, between buttered brown bread slices, is one which will stand by"

In their flight from Cedar Swamp the Bear family never once paused until they had reached the ridge at the foot of Blue Mountain. Then MT. Fear stopped to give everybody a chance to breathe.
 After being mired in the swamp he was smeared with mud from head to foot. If Mrs. Bear had met him un- expectedly in tho woods, she never would have known him. As she looked at him now she couldn't help smiling. Unfortunately he noticed her smile.
 Don't grin at me-" he snarled. T should think you'd feel too sorry to grin That was a serious accident had. If you hadn't been within call I'd never have escaped"

TT IS THE LAW" TENSE
 DRAMATIC PRODUCTION
William E. Blake As Disappointed Lover Does Well in Difficult Role
 --McHugh Returns to Company.
(By Herald Reviewer).

(By Herald Reviewer).
 Tt is the Law" play with plenty of thrills, much excitment and some mystery, is the current weeks offer ing by the Poli Players at the Palace theater in Hartford. In it all of the regular male members of the com- pany are seen to advantage with others brought in for this week. Miss Mary Ann Dentler, Miss Ruth Thomas and Miss Victoria Montgomery are the only women in the cast but each one is good in her role and adds much to the action of the show.
 The honors, however, are given this week to William F. Blake as the dis appointed lover. He does excellent work in a difficult role.S AS the tilted lover. deficient in openness and courage, who in an underhanded way plans and carries out a cold -blooded murder in such manner as to have his college chum and the victorious lover convicted of the crime, he makes the most of his opportunities to display his real dramatic talent.
 Frank McHugh has again returned to the cast and judging from the amount of applause received by him upon his entrance, the audience was glad to welcome him back as 8 regu- lar member of the company. MT. McHugh was William Elliott, friend of Justin Victor (Arthur Howard) convicted of the murder of Albert Woodruff and in the last act as a district attorney was able to acquit Victor of the murder of Albert. Ar thur Howard was convincing as the lover of Ruth Cummings.
