ever met was exceedingly good,
and I have painStakingly writ
ten down the recipe given me
by a glowing hostess, only to
find, on comparing it with
other recipes, that it differed
in some little detail, which
every other coo.z claimed turned
the trick.
All this was pretty discourag-
ing, and I had almost decided
to go back and start from
scratch with a cookbook, when
I happened upon the most de-
liciouS batter bread imagin-
able, and, on taking down the
recipe, discovered it really was
different, and entirely logical
IN every detail.
This was fine, and great
relief, so at this moment
have a heart full Of gratitude
to Mrs. James R. Ellerson,
Virginia born and bred, whose
house here in Washington is
more than famous for its de-
iightful hospitality and truly
marvellous table. All the true
delicacies of the old South ap-
pear in her dining room, from
ham and beaten biscuit to
fried chicken and batter
bread, each bearing its tradi-
tional charm Of sight and
Savor.
Therefore, you may take it
that this following recipe is
entirely authentic, and has
been used fer many, many
years in just its present form.
Personally, I can vouch for
the excellence of the result:

Advice to the Love|orn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Call Him on Phone

Call Him on Phone
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We have been married only
three months and already my
happiness is clouded, if not
spoiled. People call up my hus-
band, after he gets home, and
I'm sure from the way he talks
that some of them are women.
I'm all the more suspicious
because of the way he rushes
to the telephone, seeming to
want to beat me to it. If it is
woman's voice, it sounds to me,
when she asks for him, that she
IS perfectly cold, distant and
affected. I worry about where
he is and what he is doing, and
I often call him up at his office
just to see whether he is there
or not. UNHAPPY WIFE.
You must get this jealousy
under control. If you continue
to let it possess you, it will, in the
end, make your husband become
bored. indifferent, or even de-
ceptive.
I hope you will believe me,
when I say, that while some
men may be flattered by the
Jealousy of their wives, this
cannot last long. Men are
more often lead to deceit by
the mere suggestion that the
wife offers.

FreckIeS
Dear Miss Shelby:
Would you be so kind as to
tell me of a home remedy for
freckles?
Would you advise exposing
the face to the sun so that the
ensuing tan would cover the
blemishes on my face.
Sincerely,

Dear Miss A.:
There are several home RENE
dies that are helpful in light
ening freckleS and making
them less noticeable, although
it is very difficult to remove
them altogether. Buttermilk,

it is a terrible predicament, but
it must be dealt with, and
wisely. T. G.
If you have made up your

your preference.

I have already written some
thing about this breed, but I
have since found several facts
which may prove interesting to
readers. This breed takes its
name from the province of
Pomerania, in northern Ger
many, but there is much dis
pute as to the true origin.
Heavy Coat
Germany emphaticauy de-
clareS it to be her very own.
However, Ouida, the poetess,
steadfastly maintained it's ORR
gin to be Italian and it's first
appearance to have been in
Rome. Yet, she was unable to
account for a dog springing
forth in such warm climate
with coat so perfectly adapted
to a northern climate.
The Pomeranian's apparent
The Washington times., 1934-06-01

presence in Greece before the
time Of Christ is attested by
the engravingS in bronze found
in that country. Queen Victoria
brought back to England a
specimen from Florence, Italy,
on returning from a trip there.
Points
In fact these dogs seem to
have been scattered over most
of Europe ever since much has
been known about them. In
reality, however, these spec
linens were for the most part,
of a far larger type of dog than
the dainty present-day Poms
and were generally white or
very pale cream in color. In
other words they were of the
Spitz variety.
The Pomeranian in appear
ance should be a compact,
short.coupled dog, well-knij in
frame. His head and face
should be fox-like, with small
erect ears that appear sensitive
to every sound. He should
exhibit. great intelligence in his
expression, docility in disposi-
ton and, activity.
