BY ALLENE SUMNER
(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 9-The vice
president OF the United States has
been dubbed 1.-THE official diner out y
Some vice presidents have resented
he title and its implication that they
simply ate their way through four
year term.
Some vice presidents have denied
that 1t was their Job to dig clans out
Of the half shell while the president
preferred to sit by his own hearth
fire and read new book.
Vice President Dawes. for instance,
explained very carefully from time
to time that his position was some-
that more than social subbing for
the tired business man in the White
House.
But Senator Charles Curtis from
Kansas. next vice president. frankly
admits that he will toss away the
formidable reports. which have kept
him at his senate office desk till
nearly midnight night after night
during his reign as floor leader In
the senate. for the golden fish knives
and polished ballroom floors Of Of
ficial society.
There's no use lodging the plain
unvarnished truth, whether one likes
1t or doesn't. that the vice presidential
job Is largely social one" Senator
Curtis told me as he tilted back in
his big swivel chair at his senate Of
flee desk and surveyed his roomful Of
cartoon and autographed pictures OF
Il Irr ,,H III, vkr>,,
for the past 40 years.
The public has the idea that be-
ing vice president means socially
pinch hitting for the president when
he himself can't attend It's worse
than that-it means being the social
gladhander of the administration. It's
never a case of being called to attend
at the last minute because the presi-
dent can't 60. It's straight. clear
cut job Of doing the social stuff rath-
er than forcing it upon the president
The present senator from Kansas
and the vice president -to-be is wary
in expressing his opinion on the Of
fetal social racket awaiting him.
You can look at me and listen to me
and read by biography to Judge how
much I'm going to like it, he said
But I have no criticism to make of
the system. accepted this job. I
knew what 1t meant. I will do my
duties faithfully. If my job requires
being social man of the administra-
ton. I'm that-that's all. It's not for
me to say whether I banker for the
job or approve of the system or not"
Perhaps social secretaries of the
capital should be warned about fea-
turing the next vice president as
guest Of honor on days when races
at county fairs are being held any
where within considerable radius of
the capitol.
The very word horses brings the
senator upright in his chair. He tells
of the pony he had for his own on the
Indian reservation, of the nine horses
he once drove at a time.
Gould never drive a car after that"

IN NEW YORK

New York. Jan. 9-It's a long trek
from the dim squalor and wine
soaked odor Of tiny "gargotte." or
Inn, in Genoa's Portia section to a
dim lit, plush curtained, elegantly at
tended theater in the mid-Fifties of
the Broadway belt.
But when the plush curtains were
drawn the other afternoon, Pasquale
Taraffo pieced together the story of
IT,; climb. in excellent Spanish which
couldn't understand. but which an
interpreter could.
Ta-affo is the latest addition to the
Spanish invasion which has been UNI
der way for season-in fact it dates
back to Raquel Meller, who really
came from Paris. even If she did sing
Spanish songs Segovia, the guitarist,
arrived year ago and no Manhattan
theater is large enough to house the
crowds he draws. L'Argentina, who
can do things to castanets like Helen
Wills can do things to tennis rackets
and AL Jolson can do things to man.
my songs, has had the tea-table cir
cles all hot and bothered this semes-
ter.
And now comes Taraffo-and If I
seem to pass over the others to reach
him, it is because Taraffo had a
story to tell-the sort of story I
should like to tell about New York
places and things II I knew where to
find them.
The dark lane Of Genoa's Portia
section is not pretty place. We who
90 Summing would find 1t ''colorful,"
amusing" and all that. But also we
would find it drunken. Here, some
yeare ago, appeared youth with a
broken, nondescript guitar. He de-
posted himself on q bench in the
corner and began to play for the herd
Of drunken hangerson. He played be-
cause he needed food. A loaf OF bread
WAS Al he asked Of life. But even
this took few coppers. SO he sat
and played In the corner and had
pennies tossed in his hat. And SO he
came TO play-and again, and again.

"Great Scott! Polly's still in
there washing. her handsl left her
there fifteen minutes ago and told
her I'd be right back"
Daddy, who had made himself
responsible for three-year-old
roiiys Preparations for bed since
moshers return from the hospital,
dashed from the room. A moment
later ne was heard inquirinp in
panied surprise why Polly had un-
rolled all the toilet paper, and his
reproof was followed by Pollys
fearful attempt at an explanation
for she adores her daddy and can'i
bear to have him scold.
Strange to say, exactly the same
thing occurred the next evening
Daddy, unused to his task, left Pol,
ly in the bathroom while he rar

mother was busy with the new
baby brother, and when Daddy re.
turned in haste fifteen or twenty
minutes later the paper was NOT

Time NOzO Ripe for GhostIy
Parties as HaIIOzOe'e11 Nears

: shrieks of laughter and keen any
group interested for quite a while.
Whether one uses the old supersti-
ton of apple-paring initials, has
some guest dress like a gypsy wo-
man to read palms or cards, or uses
ready-made fortune telling game
the result will be good, for
everyone likes to hear things about
themselves.
If your friends have steady
nerves, a real ghost party will
give them the thrill they seek.
Turn the lights out before the
guests arrive, and keep them In
the dark" about what's going on.
A couple of hair-raising ghost
stories, told in a sepulchral voice,
will put the guests in the proper
state to enjoy "the remains
which consist of a stuffed wet
glove, a marble, a piece of liver
or beef steak, and any other stage
properties which represent pieces
of the human anatomy, which are
passed around from person to per-
son in the dark, with the remark
that "this is all that is left of poor
Brother Henry, who met an awful
fate" If the shrieks grow too hys-
terical, it is best to turn on the
lights, and let them laugh at the
simple, every day things that
seemed so awesome in the dark.
If the crowd is dancing crowd,
the party can proceed now like
any other dance. If not, games can
be played until refreshment time.
The eats, as far as possible, should
carry out the orange and black
color scheme. Orange ice and cho-
colate cake with orange and black
candies, and coffee or cocoa go
| well with the Halloween scheme.
The main characteristic Of sue
cessful Halloween parties is that
they get away from the deadly
routine Of the usual party, and
give the guests something new and
exciting.

To wash a quilt make suds of
pure soal and water and allow the
quilt to soak in it for half an hour.
Souse and squeeze in other fresh
suds to remove the rest of the
dirt. Quilts should not be rubbed.
For rinsing use two waters Of the
same temperature as the suds. Do
not try to wiring the quilt. Hang
it, dripping, outside in the shade
to dry, spreading it between two
lines, and shaking it often. Cotton
wool and down quilts may all be
washed in this way. Those with silk
or sateen covers may be pressed
with a warm iron.
Roast stuffed breast Of lamb is
an appetizing and economical
meat. Have the butcher crack the
bones so that the meat may be
carved between the ribs, and also
make a slit under the ribs close to
the rib bones for a pocket to hold
the stuffing. Fill this cavity with
any savory stuffing you prefer.
Forcemeat, or ground meat, makes
a good stuffing, or bread crumbs
with poultry seasoning, or with
spinach, or cress. Sew up the cav
ity and bake the roast slowly in an
uncovered pan without water.
