The secret of making good cof- fee is to bring freshly boiling wa ter in contact with the ground coffee just long enough to extract the full flavor. Prolonged cooking develops bitterness.
 With this principal in mind, any of the three general methods of preparation can be used suc- cessfully; the drip method, the percolator method or boiling. While the proportion of coffee and boil ing water varies with individual taste, one heaping tablespoon of freshly roasted coffee to one-half pint of boiling water gives an average strength. It is important to measure the water and the cof- fee carefully to be sure of good results.
 Drip coffee has a deliciously smooth rich flavor. Various kinds of coffee pots for the making of drip coffee are now readily avail able almost everywhere. These pots have two compartments, one above the other. The upper one holds the ground coffee, on to which the fresh boiling water IS poured slowly and allowed to drip through to the compartment be- low. In some cases, a sheet of filter paper is used under the ground coffee to retard the speed with which the water goes through. When all of the water

 Pear Cocktail: Cube and divide into six cocktail glasses contents of a No. 2 can of pears, and pour over them the pear syrup. Add one tablespoon grenadine syrup to eac glass; and chill well. This serves six and costs about thirty seven cents.
 Orange and Tomato Juice Cock tail: Strain a No. can of toma- toes, not pressing the pulp or the juice will be cloudy. Add the juice of two oranges, two teaspoons sugar and a few grains of salt, and serve, ice cold. in small glasses. Cost twenty-one cents. This serves six.
 Waikaiki Cocktail: Arrange two eight-ounce cans of figs, cut in suitable pieces and two eight ounce cans of grapes in cocktail glasses. To the fig and grape syrup add the juice of two lemons and the juice of one orange, and pour over the fruit Garnish on top with tiny cubes of guava and mint jelly. This serves eight.

Place peeled sections of three oranges, petal fashion, around edges of glasses Decorate tops with three table, spoons of raspberries, strawberries or maraschino cherries. Sprinkle candied ginger over, and add one teaspoonful ginger syrup to each glass. Just before serving, pour over one-half cup ginger ale. This serves eight.
 Macedoine Fruit Cocktail: Drain the syrup from a No. 2k can of fruits for salad. To it add four tablespoons sugar mad one table, spoon preserved ginger syrup, ani cook to a thick syrup. Cool. Cut fruit in small pieces, add the syrup and dispose in serving glasses. Just before serving, pour over some iced ginger ale, and decorate with bits of angelica. This serves six to eight.
 Cherry and Almond Cocktail: Empty a No. ? can Royal Ann cherries into a sauce pan, color a rich red, and simmer three min- utes. Add one-fourth cup con- fectioner's sugar, one-fourth cup lemon juice and one-fourth cup maraschino cherry juice, and let cool. Then cut slits in each cherry and remove pits. Cut one cup al- monds in half lengthwise and in- sert piece in each cavity. Place cherries carefully in cocktail glasses with the nut neds protrud- ing upward like acorns. Pour over the syrup, and chill in ice box. This serves eight to ten.

The modern hostess has discov- cred that there is no more tempt ing way of beginning a luncheon or dinner than by serving a cool delicious fruit cocktail. But she does not confine cocktails to these hours, by any means. Frequently she serves them to guests for tea, or at an evening party, arranging the colorful fruit in crystal clear glasses, which she places on a dainty tray, spread with gay linen.
 The variety of fruits at the dis posal of the housewife to-day is so great that there is no danger of monotony. She might easily serve different cocktail every day. Canned fruits come to her from the ends of the earth, and new combinations and new flavors are constantly being introduced.
 A Real Treat
 If you have not formed the fruit cocktail habit, you have treat in store for you. You will find the fresh tart fruit juices a real ap- petizer for the hot days of late summer. Here are number of recent recipes including many fla vorite fruits.

So much has been said about the value of whole wheat bread, some of it correct and some exag- gerated, that it has been overdone by the extremists and the pendu- lum is swinging back again to a wiser variety in bread, according to pr R. B. Lee, research director of Standard Brands Incorporated. in talk before Canadian bakers.
 Periodically" says Dr Lee, the agitation for whole wheat bread breaks out like an epidemic, runs its course and dies out. No one can justly attack bread, be it white or brown. Both have place in the diet. Flour is one of the most completely digestible foods we have. All varieties of bread are good, but one would not think so after reading the articles of those who advocate the use Of only whole wheat bread.
 "A diet including too much coarse bread so stimulates the ln- testinal muscles that food mater ials are not as completely absorb ed as when they pass through the alimentary tract at a normal rate. This is. why whole wheat bread IS always included in derucing diets.
 Much that is written about whote flour is carelessly applied to white bread, forgetting that white

has dripped through into the com- partment below, the upper com partment is remov"A and the cof- fee is ready to serve.
 Many peop.,, .-~ weVer, prefer percolated coffee. Again the water should be freshly boiling. The per colating should begin at once, anc be allowed to continue slowly from five to ten minutes according to the strength desired. The basket containing the coffee grounds should be removed at once as they absorb flavor and aroma.
 Boiled coffee made in the old fashioned coffee pot can be equally delicious and satisfying. The boil ing water is poured onto the ground coffee. It is then brought to the boiling point, stirred down once and allowed to stand without boiling from three to five minutes. It should be strained from the grounds immediately into warm china or enamel pot and it is ready to serve. To make boiled coffee verly clear, a small amount of slightly beaten white of egg may be mixed with the ground coffee before adding the boiling water, or the coffee may be tied loosely in cheesecloth.

The value of variety of breads Is unquestioned. Variety of breads not only supplies variety of in- gredients so helpful in supporting maintenance in normal growth, but it stimulates the appetite. A tired appetite will often result from an unbalanced diet. Refresh it with variety and see 1t respond.
 Everyone should eat plenty of bread, for 1t is splendid aid to the body, but we should be careful not to dull our appetite with same ness. We should discover new delicacies in the variety of breads in the bake shop just around the corner"

"Modern Virgin"
AtBelasco, May4

Elmer Harris, whose authorship
of young Sinners one of the
outstanding successes of the past
two seasons, clinched his foremost
position among contemporary
playwrights, which he won through
such earlier successes as $50 Long,
Lefty" "The Great Necker," etc.,
has written a new play, "A Mod
ern Virgin" Under the banner
of the MeSsrs. Shubert, this latest
edition to the works of the stage
will have it's first presentation at
the Shubert- -Belasco Theater on
Monday evening, May 4, for a
weeks engagement prior to its
Broadway opening.
"A Modern Virgin" concerns a
charming, wealthy and innocent
young girl, who is possessed of all
the recklessnesS of her father and
all the warmth and beauty of her
mother. Curious about love and
life, she chafes under the strict
discipline of a maiden aunt and
adops an unusual and dangerous
method of seeking adventure and
excitement. Her fiance, some
what puritanical, plans to stop
this practice, but the subsequent
developments prove to be entirely
unexpected. "A Modern Virgin"
gives every promise of being an
adroitly written comedy with
Shrewd character drawing and
genuinely true atmospheric
touches.

'COQUETTE'IS IS
WELL DONE BY
PLAYERS

A decided departure from the
average summer stock company
fare is provided in "Coquette.
this weeks offering of the Ma
tional Theater Players, last seen
here with Washington'S own
Helen Hayes featured. 1t is un-
usual in that its authors, George
Abbott and Ann Preston Bridges,
were forced to choose between
the conventional and approved
happy ending as compared with
stark realities and to the possible
dismay of matinee audiences at
leaSt-if they are any different
from the reputedly more serious
audiences of the evening -sacri-
ticed both hero and heroine be-
fore the final curtain.
Has Tragic Note
With different locale and
slightly different characters, the
play might well have been prod
uct Of the so-called Russian
realists." Instead it takes its loca
ton somewhere in the South where
relics of the once vaunted chivalry
and heroics are still said to exist.
A father, otherwise modern, yet
cheriShing the traditions of his
section, sends a bullet into the
heart of his daughters unWelcome
lover. She, not of the sheltered
womanhood of the old South, has
been a heartlesS coquette until the
first love came into her heart, and
finally finds her own solution
rather than risk her exposure and
the crashing of her fathers
idealismS.
To say that Leneta Lane
emerges with high honors is put
ting it but mildly. She displays
a thorough conception of the re-
quirements of the role which
might have at first seemed ex-
tremely difficult. Her Southern
accent is unimpeachable and
charming. Stanley Ridges, lead
ing man, through the eXigencies
of the role, has but little to do but
does that bit exceedingly well.
Ingenue Is Charming
Perhaps this reviewer is preju-
diced, not only as the result of
the first sight of Daphne Warren
Wilson in a comparatively minor
role, but Notwithstanding the
constant reiteration of the state
ment in a none-too-guarded voice
in the preceding row upon her
every appearance that she was
just "too cute" that he is i'm
PEELED to agree that she was at
the very least charming. Burke
Clarke had the restrained and
comparatively unsympathetic part
of the father yet managed to give
it the shading it deserved.
Addie Blacked Up
John Warburton, juvenile of
the company, is cast as the girls
brother and the transition in the
latter part of the final act from
the romping youth to the sober
man was probably a bit too sud-
den, but rather chargeable to the
playwrights than the actor. Ray
mond Bramley, a bit at ill-ease
during the early scenes, came
through nobly at the conclusion.
Edward Poland, in the character
of the lawyer-friend of the family,
contributed in his usually effective
fashion.

mike fright" seized Percy
Crosby, cartoonist pop of "Skippy,"
Saturday afternoon when the job
was to talk impromptu at the end
of his radio interview.
What Cartoonist Crosby wanted
to say in answer to questions was
he intended to give little Jackie
Cooper, who played "Skippy." a
gold watch for his fine work. He
also wanted to add the human
touch that his mother had watch:
ed the picture four times at one
sitting, so enamored was she over
the film cut-up.
In the excitement Mr.. Crosby
forgot all these things. But like
an actor he wanted to know how
his talk got over. So after leaving
the Shoreham Building he hustled
to the nearest pay station tele-
phone and got his wife on the wire
at Mclean, Va. How'd it sound,
honey" he asked. Fine" was the
reply, with Mr.. Crosby as tickled
as an actor taking a bow.
