Her next idea was fruit salad which could really serve as des- sert as well. This would call for q fruit -fiavored gelatin, probably q lime-colored one. Being pale green in color 1t would not be necessary to add coloring matter. Into this we'll favored mixture of dissolved gelatin she planned to imbed seeded Mall aga grapes, carpets of grapefruit, quarters of canned pears and finely chopped celery. By rubbing the mold lightly with oil and then put ting in just enough dissolved gelatin to make n thin layer she could cool it quickly. When partially con- gealed she laid in the fruit in q pat tern. A little more gelatin was poured in. This was allowed to con- zeal. Then another layer of fruit was put in. The whole mixture was then covered with the remainder of the dissolved gelatin and the mold was get away to harden. When un- nodded the white fruits showed through the pale green gelatin. Mrs Lacey did not put the mold onto let tuce leaves but laid them around the base. This prevented the mold from breaking because of It's uneven bed of lettuce. With this salad she passed mayonnaise into which whipped cream had been folded.

"ILLICII", DARING DRAMA
 OF MORALS AND MARRIAGE
 AT THE STATE WEDNESDAY

The relationship of man and wo- man in marriage is one of the most fruitful sources of drama to be found. It poses many problems right to the hand of the dramatist, novelist and scenarist.
 Is the institution of marriage doomed? It marriage sex slavery, with the wife the prisoner? Is the wedding ceremony the enemy of love? Many novels. plays and pict- ures have been written around these questions. but there are always new and engrossing angles to the prob lems the marriage relationship poses. A number of them have been caught by Edith Fitzgerald and Robert Ris kin in "Illicit." an unproduced play which Warner Bros. have just made into the vitaphone talking picture under the some title. coming to Warner Bros State theater on We'd nesday. with Barbara Stanwyck and James Rennie in the leading holes, under the direction of Archie Mayo.

For a panic stricken second Sue wondered if the police matron in- tended to bring sybil straight into the room where she was If she did, Sybil would realize that the defend- ant held the trump card.
 Sue caught her breath, and the yellow lights scattered through the waiting room went on shining with a smoky golden color that didn't blend into the drab walls all around; {; people ran to catch trains or loitered and wished that trains would hurry; and Jack walked down the plat form.
 The matron was taking sybil to another room. And Sue knew a strange cold fear as she realized that she might have been mistaken ... that maybe 1t was man who resembled Sybil whom she had driv- en that night. She slipped through the door and called to Jack. When they were back in the room she told the story in 8 few hurred sentences.
 She wanted to relax now, just to depend on him, but there were too many things that needed to be done. But the very look in the keen gray eyes were caress and the pressure of his fingers was strong and com forting.

NANCY PAGE Erin's Salad is Green
 and, of Course, White
By Florence La csnse.

Mrs Lacey had been so busy plan- ming the entertainment for her daughters St Patrick Day party that she almost forgot to put any thought on a white and green salad with white and green sandwiches. She had a number of ideas for the salad. First she thought of using cottage cheese. mixing 1t lightly with heavy cream and then adding finely chopped chives to 1t. She also considered green pepper or parsley as the green note with the cottage cheese. Had the group been made up of older folks she would doubt less have used that salad, but some- way she feared that children would not care for cottage cheese. 1t would seem too ordinary to them. Her next idea was to use q green pepper from which she had re- moved top, core and pepper seeds Into this she would pack cream or Philadelphia cheese. After chilling for twelve hours the pepper could be sliced thinly and the shamrock like green pepper rings encasinG the cheese would be laid carefully on a bed of shredded lettuce.

DoLLs-LARGE AND SMALL


 Have you ever heard of Elan dcrs baby? That Is the way many people in England speak of dolls. The custom arose during the time that most dolls used in England were brought into the country from the portion of Holland which lies in Flanders.
 Dutch dolls are still famous, but during recent times Germany has been the leading nation in producing dolls. The name "doll," by the way, is believed to be short for Dor othy,"
 During visits to the British mu- scum in London, have seen dolls which date back to the time of an- cient Greece and Rome. The Greeks and Romans formed dolls out of wood, clay and ivory.
