BIOGRAPHY or SAN HOUSTON
REVIEWED FOR CLUB SECTION

The Life OF Sam Houston. The
Raven ., written by Marquis James
was the book chosen by Mrs. Hugh
Il. Osborne for her program yester-
day at the meeting of the Twice
Told Tales section held in the Ter
Thousand club tea room.
This magnetic personality with
its fascinating charm and its ability
IL rise from the depths 10 the
heights, was carefully portrayed by
Mrs. Osborne as she recoupted the
events in the life Of Sam Houston,
who, perhaps more than any other
single person, was responsible for
the annexation of Texas and who
guided its destinies in its formative
period
Beginning with the early child
hood of Houston which was spent
in Virginia, the removal Of the fam
ily 10 Tennessee, his fondness for
the Indians, his acceptance as a
son by the chief of the Cherokee
tribe who DUBBED him The Raven.
the hero's early career was Sketched.
His subsequent career as an at
torney. as congressman, as governor
of Tennessee. his marriage TO Eliza
Allen and its short duration leading
10 his disgrace ana downfall and
causing him to return 10 the In
dams with whom he lived for some
time, taking an Indian wife, covered
The next phase of his career.
With his work for the Indian
welfare, his regeneration took place.
and his desire for the romantic
west led him TO Texas. where he
rapidly became leader and headed
the armies Of Texas against Santa
Ana after the massacre at the Ala
mo, finally defeating the Mexican
forces.
The last years of his life. when
he guided the destinies of his be-
loved Texas, his happy marriage to
Margaret Lee and the closing hours
o. his life completed the absorbing
tale of one OF historys most inter-
esting characters.
At the end of the program, tea
was served by Mrs. Harrie Woods,

The same rule for buttering ap-
plies TO all sandwiches. hot or
cold. Always butter the side OF
the bread next to the filling.
Sauted ham sandwich is deli
cious made with .raisin bread. Cut
raisin bread in slices one-fourth

gether with toothpicks. Dip in

BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Mrifer

WITH the shops showing all
W sorts of alluring electric toast
ers and devices FOR the making OF
toasted sandwiches. this type OF
sandwich is brought into the cul-
mary limelight. Easy TO make and
TO serve, versatile in their uses,
they often prove = boon TO the un-
prepared hostess.
The club sandwich long has
been popular, and although made
with toast, is not properly "toast-
ed" sandwich. Another three
decker sandwich made with toast
IS the "luncheonette" sandwich
which furnishes q meat course, 4
salad and sweet. These three
course sandwiches are much in
vogue and are pleasing when sery-
ed with coffee for afternoon bridge
refreshments. Clever food COM
binations can be worked out--for
instance. cold sliced leg OF lamb
dipped in mint jelly for the meat
filling. chopped celery and carrot
with Russian dressing for the sal
ad filling. and grated cocoanut and

yarian cream for the dessert fill
ing. This combination follows the
rules for meal planning since it
contains foods for contrasting fla
yor and texture, the necessary food
elements and at the same time 4
perfect blending of fiayors and ma
terials. Two or three kinds of
bread also can be used to advan-
tage and the breads can be plain
or toasted. Chicken. eggs. cheese
and fish lend themselves to appe-
thing meat filings and lettuce can
always be used in the salad fill
ings.
A Use for Left-overs
Genuine toasted sandwiches Of
fer an excellent opportunity to use
up left-eyers. Each sandwich
might be made of different COM
binations utilizing very small

The technique of the toasted
sandwich is simple but rigorous.
The outside must be crispy and
hot and the inside soft and cool.
This necessitates intense heat 10
