Sarah and Ann sat for a moment
in silence after Valeria had gone.

Sarah advised. "Bawl him out,
Ann"
Ann was drawing on her glove.
Her hand shook a little.

lowest form of life to me. Ann, you
simply must talk straight to Peter

Ann thought so too. She was

over 40 are tackling today

changed, but the actual me-

has altered completely. They
knew an America which travelled
at best-five or six miles

Life, then, was a planned per-

You were judged by your

from swimming or tennis.
Everything tasted SO good in
that bracing air-but I know
that the air was not alone to
blame-the cook and the house
keeper were mainly responsible,
and every dish was deliciously
prepared.
Cooked On Goals
Luncheon on the day Of our
arrival consisted of broiled live
Holsters, done over hot Goals, in
stead of under a gas flame, and
what a difference that impaired
to the flavor! With these were
served sauce-boats of melted
butter and lemon juice, and fin
ger bowls that stood at every
ones place, so that we could all
really get down to the true busi-
ness of lobster enjoyment with
out fear of consequences.
At dinner, finger bowls again
appeared in the middle of din

course of the tenderest of yel-
low Golden Bantam corn-also
with sauce-boats of melted but

At this same meal we had a

should be-great chunks OF
white, fresh meat, reposing on
leaves of garden lettuce, and
over all a dressing of homemade
mayonnaise made with plenty
of lemon.
One canape, in particular,
among the many good and un-
usual ones served by our hostess,
appealed to me a great deal.
This was made by rolling long
flat anchovy filets in thin
layer of puff-paste, until the
stick was about the thickness
of a pencil, brushing the whole
with butter, and baking them
quickly in the oven. They ap"
peared wrapped in a napkin,
piping hot, and were just the

Cat Lovers
Revert to
Antiquity
By LIZ HUME

OF his pet kitten, Whitley,
young David Wolf, jr., 403 De-
catur st. N. w., writes:
"There is no special story
about him, only that he is =
very nice white kitten and 1
think an awful lot Of him."
From the picture we gather
David's little neighbor (he is
called Snookie in David's let
teri also thinks Whitley a very
nice little kitten.
We disagree with David
about there being nothing Spe-
cial about Whitley. Any little
kitten capable of earning the
warm devotion Of a real boy
must have something unusual
about him. AS a rule boys pre-
fer dogs.
We have noticed that persons
(men, women or children who
liked cats are never lukewarm
in their devotion to their pets.
They are always almost pugna-
cious on the subject.
Cats undoubtedly have a pc
culiar fascination for some peo-
pie. It will be recalled that
many of the ancient peoples
actually worshiped them. The
cat-gods of old Egypt were
given special places of honor in
their temples and tombs.
We have known a number OF
cat lovers who preferred the
alley variety to the most exclu-
Sive pedigreed types, Persians,
Silamese, etc. They claim the
just-cat is more graceful. She
is certainly easier to care for
and more capable of standing
on her own four little paws.
Personally We believe there is
no animal more beautiful (ex-
cept perhaps the horse) than a
Persian cat. We fail to see
any lack Of grace and their
coats, when properly kept, are
marvellous.
The Siamese, too, are beauti.
full, with the added charm Of
being more than bit bizarre.
We are very much obliged to
David for this cunning picture
of Whitley, Snookie and himself.
If you have a good picture Of
your pet. Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use in this col
umn. No pictures returned.

He Demanded Back His Ring
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I got tired of her family try.
ing to settle our affairs-where
we should live, how much we
should spend, and other things
that did not concern them. So,
in a rage one day, I broke with
her, and demanded back our
engagement ring, which I knew,
the moment my anger had sub
sided, was a caddiSh and ill-bred
thing to do.
Now, after six months Of
waiting, she still turns her head
when she sees me. Do you
think a girl can completely
forget when she was engaged
to- a man for a year, and loved
him devotedly? I'd like to make
up with her. REPENTANT.
Of course, you realize you
acted very badly when you de-
manded the return of your ring
that's something which should
always be left to the girl. But,
as it seems to have been the
result of bad temper, rather
than anything worse, why don't
you write to her and say so, in
stead of lodging around and
trying to make her speak to
you on the street.
To be frank, your case looks
rather bad to me, but you can
never tell.
