AUTUMN
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

The hibernal avifauna, as the
ornithologists say (Which means in
plain English the Winter birds) that
we have in the District of Columbia is,
suppose. lacking in thrill to an or
nithologist. Horned larks and Lap
land larkSpurs are rare, and snowflakeS
practically unknown. Once in blue
Winter moon somebody catches sight
of a Hudsonian curlew migrating down
Chesapeake Bay, and few bad VIM
ters have driven Arctic owls and three
toed woodpeckerS and such into our
limits.
To the idea of the amateur and the
indifferently bad ornithologist, like my
self, the principal bird arrivals at this
season are the juncos and the chicadees.
Actually. their presence could be demon
strated here, in some quantity at least,
at any time eXcepts perhaps the middle
of Summer, and the same is true of the
woodpeckerS, tufted titmice and other
birds that become conspicuous in Winter
by the absence of Summer birds.
But I for one will hold brief for
the junco and the chickadee. In all
the world there is no braver sight than
these little fellows as they fit cheeping
and twittering. through the leafiess
bushes. Let November bluster; it can
not hurt these little fellows. Let the
skies be gray, they are not so fine
gray as the plumage of these fat little
fellows. Surely that they are common
is no plea against them, but rather the
contrary. Horned larks may be rare,
but, being rare, how many eyes do they
gladden. or sad hearts cheer?

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE


Good luck appears to be indicated
for most persons tomorrow, according
to astrology. Benefic aspects strongly
rule.
Under this planetary government
women should benefit greatly in un-
usual ways. Honors will come to few
who will render high Government
service.
The seers projhesy that the transition
period in which women are learning
how to conduct public affairs Is draw
ing to close. although warning is
given that feminine minds still have
much to master in the way of imper-
Sonal outlook.
1t is held to be a rarely lucky we'd
ding day, making for long domestic
partnership and steady advancement
toward wealth.
Theaters again are subject to a sign
indicating that they focus unusual at
tention and cause extraordinary dis
cuSSion.
The vogue of the risque play Is pass
ing, it is foretold. and real drama of
fine quality is to be presented.
All the SeerS agree that after so much
is to reach supreme artistic heights
within very short time.
This months total eclipse Of the
moon is interpreted as menacing. since
it brings Saturn in rising position and
presages bloodshed in foreign lands.
This eclipse also is believed to fore
cast many crimes in the United States.
where murders will be even more nu-
merous than formerly.
France is under sinister sway and
there may be much illness during a
gloomy Winter.
The evening is propitious time to
entertain celebrities and is favorable
for stag parties.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is have
the augury of happy, prosperous year
in which they are able to realize

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November 90
Across the border doesn't mean out
lawry in Hollywood. 1t only means that
a marital knot has been tied; that a
lady and gentleman have pledged them
selves to love, honor and obey-h'm! -
that they are seeking the freedom OF
Mexican marriage laws to avoid the
three day announcement of intention to
wed which is Californias latest stum-
bling block to burning romance.
Evelyn Brent and Harry Edwards
merely proved themselves thoroughly
conventional in hurrying to Aqua Cali
ente for their ceremony. The only way
to be original in Movieland now is to
make your announcement three days
beforehand and listen to the felicita-
tions of $4,000 we'll meaning bores.
Lima Basouette and Peverell Marley
have done Just that. Every one in the
colony has known of their romance for
ages, yet they reserved public announce
ment of it for the period just before
the wedding.
Their published statement says the
wedding will be after Christmas. Ru-
NOR credits it will be next week. Ru-
NOR seems to know all in Hollywood.
And published statements are issued
just to make things perplexing for
every one concerned.
The first stories of this romance posi-
lively implied that Lima BaSquette would
not announce an engagement to Marley
until he had graduated into the role OF
a director
But love laughs at locksmith's three
day laws and studio castes.
Cecil De Mile is being called Cupid
these days. He Is fathering romance
in fine fashion. He was best man yes
terday at the wedding of an employe.
He will stand up with Peverel Marley
at the latter's wedding to Lima Bas-
Guette.

Thrift in Use of Leftover Food.

! ject is as old in cooking as are pin
tucks in dressmaking. Nevertheless. 1t
is one in which every thrifty housewife
finds renewed interest. No home maker
can have discovered all the best ways
of using up the small amounts of food
| that are constantly remaining from
| some of the three meals day. There

presented. So, after all, the subject

tendency to become careless and so 10
revert TO the pre-war state OF mousse
hold affairs. Americans then were SAID
to be the most waSteful OF all peoples IN
their table supplies. We never want TO
regain such reputation. 1t was proven
when the matter was graphically
called to our attention that our house
wives could become experts in food
thrift. Let us hold fast to this enviable
fame.
The ways of using remaining food
are aided in the United States by the
fact that here we are glad to try new
dishes There is no country in the
world where the variety OF dishes can
compare with those in America.
Novelty is the cry even in food
preparation. The housewife can put
all sorts of odds and ends into salads,
for instance, and they are delicious to
our appetites. Even in France no such
combinations are considered for a
moment.
The soup pot is another mixing kettle
where many different bits and left
overs can be amalgamated in wonder
full savory broth, chowders. purees.
bisque. etc. Sour cream is often added
to soups in Russia, and here we may
have something novel to try. Also beets
are made into soups. and pumpkin and
squash are other vegetables not so COM
monty added to soup stocks here as in
foreign countries.
Casserole dishes can be made de-
licious by combining odds and ends of
ieft-overs. Put in some onion, parsley,
a bit of celery and season well after
combining the other ingredients. Cover
tightly and oven steam until the
various fiavors are incorporated into
one tasty dish.
Escalloped dishes are others in which
all sorts of meat and vegetables can be
put together. These can be in layers
alternating with bread crumbs, rice or
macaroni. 1t is wise to cover the top
with bread or cracker crumbs seasoned
and we'll dotted with butter. so that the
dish looks good to serve with its crisp
brown top.
With so many excellent ways of
utilizing left-overs. novelty can be
instilled although the ingredients may
be similar.

Crossing Busy Streets.
One mother says

My little son used to be very careless
about crossing streets. He wouldn't
"stop, look and listen," and would
refuse to take my hand, he thought
he was too big. When it drew near the
school time 1 knew that unless he was
more careful would be constantly wor-
rying about him going to school alone,
so 1 adopted method which proved
to be a good one. told him that now
he was such big boy he should look
out for me and see that did not get
run over while crossing the street. So
now he looks in all directions and helps
me across, hesitating when there is any
doubt, and he has so formed the habit
of caution when we are together that
he is ever so much more careful when
he Is by himself.

foundation.
No one could complain of lack Of
space in a Skirted dressing table, like
that shown in the Illustration, how
ever, for beneath its ruffled skirt are
eight sliding tray drawers and eight
shelves. And how cleverly the shelves
are built into the swinging front por-
tions of the table. These little shelves
have just enough of little wooden
railing to keep articles from falling out;
and if desired, this might be of glass
in order that the articles may be easily
identified. The drawers are spacious
enough to hold large supply of silk
and linen apparel and the pockets are
just right for gloves, neckwear and
hosiery.

A big airplane, said by many to

comment because they were flying

a tail wind, probably making 100
miles an hour over the city.
At that time army men gave a
possible explanation of those ships,
saying that They were probably train

SUMMER COMES
BUT is BLOW N
AWAY BY WIND

Summer has come to Douglas two
separate and distinct times this year
and has departed again. The fruit
trees all over town are mass of
blooms. Early flowers are peeping out
here and there but winter has come
again.
Two or three days ago the weather
was hot Monday was exceptionally
warm. Tuesday and Wednesday the
wind blew. Wednesday night the wind
succeeded in blowing summer away on
its dusty wings and light ice froze on
water left standing in exposed places
during the night.
The day yesterday was pleasant
again. The 'zfinA did not awaken
early and did not blow hard when it
did start, but the evening brought a
chill with it that indicated that win
ter, the third Of the season, was still
present 1t is fully expected that sum-
mer will come again between now and
Sunday and it should stay this time, dt
least until next November when it
may depart naturally, if winter comes.
