purchased a small part of what later
was known as the Wakefield estate of
$500 acres.

Washington's ancestry. according to
these researches, has been greatly COM

three English Washington families, en-

the family name from three distinct
sources. One Of these families origin
ated from the parish of Ravensworth
in Yorkshire. where there was an es-
tate called WaShton. Members of the
family took this name when family
names came into style, and in the
course of generations it was expanded
to Washington" The. other family
derives its name from the village of
Washington. just south of London. So
far as could be found, there were no
intermarriageS between these families.
But they have led many historians far

authentic information.

A FEW years ago, most American
= housewives, If they preceded the
meat-and-p potato course with anything,
preceded it with soup. But times have
changed, and nowadays we use fruit
CUP. tomato Juice cocktail, and other
appetizers for the first course at dinner.
At a formal dinner we may use one OF
these appetizers and then soup. At the
family dinner we generally choose
either an appetizer or soup.
Tomato-juic cocktail is an easy and
very wholesome first course. You can
buy it bottled or you can make 1t from
strained canned tomatoes, or strained,
| fresh stewed tomatoes. You can also
make it from raw tomatoes, crushed and
strained. It may be seasoned with pep
per, salt and a little sugar; or with
| orange Juice; or with onion juice, pep
per and salt. Pineapple Juice, too, may
be appetizingly mixed with tomato juice
| for cocktails.
There are many interesting canapes
to serve for the first course. Here are
some of them:
/. Rounds of toast spread with mix
| ture made from minced crab meat with
mayonnaise, sprinkled with minced
green peppers and garnished with
radishes cut in rose shapes.

NANCY PACE
Nothing SO Pretty as Claire's
May day Cake.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Since early childhood the Lacey girls
had been familiar with the poem, IF
you're waking call me early, call me
early, mother, dear" That poem of
Tennyson,s was written for May day.
They knew all about the English ira
ditions of May poles, May baskets and
Nav day festivities. 1t was only nat
ural. then, that Claire begged for a
party on May day. Please, mother,
may I ask some of the girls in for the
afternoon? We can play bridge or
anagrams or backgammon. Then we
will want some refreshments, and I
thought I'd make May day cake"
"What's your idea of a May day
cake, Ciaire?" "Why, I thought we
could have a cake in the center of
the table and decorate it like May
pole. With white or pale green icing
we could have a slender stick of candy
upright in the center, then we could
wind vari-colored ribbons about it,
finally having them lead to favors and
place cards"
Claire begged so hard that Mrs. Lacey
agreed to the party. She used this
recipe for the cake: One cup Of butter
was creamed with one and one-half
cups of sugar. Four teaspoons baking
powder, one-half teaspoon salt and two
