A rise to stardom, then years of
encouragement, then the greatest
success of a lifetime-and through
it all, grit, vitality, humor, per,
SiStence.
That is the story of Marie
Dressler, a great personality. She
never had beauty. Training in the
music she loved was denied her
Her talent as an actress was per.
hapS no greater than that of
many others. =,
But she had that magic thing
called personality. No one could
have staged such a comeback as
she did without it. She laughed
to make others laugh when the
breaks were all against her. She
faced a future as a bUarding-h house
keeper in Paris with courage and
energy. It is true that her friends
helped her through the dark
years, took her on trips abroad,
loaned her money, maneuvered to
get her into the movies, financed
her while she waited for her
chance.
Well, how do you hold friends
like that? Not by being a cold,
calculating, gloomy, sarcastic, mi:
serly, selfish wretch yourself

Value of Milk
In Diet
BY DONNA GRACE

Physicians and food experts
have always prescribed and advo-
Gated milk as a perfect food, but
the real food value of milk is rec
ognized more at the present time
than ever before.
We know that we can use a
milk diet as a means Of success
fully reducing overweight, and it
is the most perfect body-builder
of any food, as it contains all the
elements necessary to nurture and
sustain the body. The food ele-
ments are in a natural form and
may be taken up and digeSted
without any physical strain.
1t is the ideal means of supply
ing the mineral salts on which we
must depend for our health and
wen-being. Milk contains iodine,
iron, calcium, sulphur, sodium and
other factors that are natures
products and in the form that may
be accepted by the body.
The fats contained in milk are
invaluable for growing children
and are the best for repairing
the invalid or weak adult. We be-
lieve an interesting point may
be quoted from the writings of
a prominent surgeon. He tells
us that one may either gain or
lose weight under the same
regime by using the same kind
and amount of milk.
If one is too fat, there will be
deposited in the tissues only
enough nutriment to supply the
energy and heat needed and the
balance will be dissipat d
throughout the various channels
Of elimination.
When the body needs building
it will generally aSSimilate and
use practically all of the nutri
ment material of the milk. We
may attribute the rose and lily
clean transparent skin of those
who drink milk to the fact that
it removes dormant, sluggish
waste and revitalizes and cleanSes
the system.
Why not try a milk diet fol-
a while for your beauty's sake
You may have the one I use, il
you wish. Send a stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply

Dill Flavor Is
Popular

Drab looking dill, a favorite pot.
herb that previously offered its
spicy flavor exclusively to the
lowly pickle, has broadened its
flavoring field, according to the
Extension Service of the U. s. De.
partment of Agriculture.
"The tender spicy young leaves
of the plant, before it goes to seed
is q delicious seasoning says
Miriam Birdseye, of this division
She suggests using chopped leaves
to flavor the sauces for creameo
chicken, shrimp, or other creamec
meat dishes.
"A pinch of chopped dill or

clothes?
"In the event that a young lady
is college graduate, and also q
member of a sorority, is it proper
to wear the class pin and the
sorority pin at the same time?
"B."
A class pin or a sorority pin is
not considered a formal accessory,
and therefore would not be proper
or appropriate to wear with
formal attire.
Wearing both a class pin and a
sorority pin at the same time
seems a bit OVERRIDING pin decora-

But this year there's a real
story in lounge robes, and there's
much more reason for men wear
ing them. So our gifts will
probably not be discarded if we
select robes, especially if we select
with care and foresight.
Reason number one for more
use of lounging garments is the
idea slowly trickling into mems
consciousness that they can be
comfortable, and at the same time
look well. They've learned to
wear color on the beach, and so
they're not going to be afraid
of color at home. They really
believe now that they can get
into silk and not look ridiculous.
Follow New Trends
New lounge robes follow the
same fashions that topcoats and
sportSwear have set, and so they
are not revolutionary. Further
more they are comfortable. And
yet another point, they are good
looking. becoming, suitable to
hours of ease at home. So why
shouldn't men like them? You'll
find many a man really wanting
a cocktail coat or a dressing
gown, who Scorned the robe you
gave him two or three years ago.
Cocktail jackets are particu-
larly smart this year, and are
suitable for any informal "at
home" wear. The man Of the
family can put on soft, short
jacket the minute he gets home,
even if guests are coming, and
can keep it on through the eve
ming, if formality is not the order
of the evening.
Ascot Scarf
Many cocktail jackets have an
ascot scarf of silk, in the pattern
that trims the jacket, which
takes the place of collar and tie,

Fashion 7 rends

A new entry in the fashion
sweepstakes is the frock of rich
fabric, styled for dinner wear
with skirt Of ordinary street
length: Such a frock is in supple
but heavy dark silver lame with
a rather deep neckline in front
and short sleeves.
Clay clouds hover over the
fashion scene. A gray wooden
dress with little matching lumber
jacket is trimmed with velvet
used in bands across the lumber
jacket, and a gray velvet Ascot

becoming. What a relief, after a
day in a stiff collar!
Robes with shawl collars are
the most popular, and color is
pretty much whatever you desire.
There are plenty of colorful robes
to be had, and plenty in rather
dark, plain colors. Contrasting
trimming is the rule, unless the
gown would be too gay without
it. Flannels and silks are both
popular. For those people with a
yen for color, robes brilliantly
lined are to be had.
The Washington times., 1935-11-29

She lived with a married sister
and dia good deal Of work, for
which she received no definite
reward-a handed-down dress,
sometimes, and an occasional dol
lar or two for carfare.
Apparently the only gift the
gods vouchSafed her was that Of
making the most delicious mayon-
naise that anyone ever tasted.
Her first name was Maria, hence
''Mayonnaise Maria"
Then, as in the case Of Gin
derella, along came the fairy
godmother, in the person of an
aunt. The aunt'S husband hap
pened to get some sort Of Off
cial appointment in one OF our
colonial possessions-which must
be nameless, because this is a
true story.
Long Voyage
The aunt, like everyone else,
enjoyed Maria's mayonnaise and
pitied her semi-unpaid slavery.
She resented the duties which
kept the girl busy from morning
till night, and she resented the
married niece's exploitation Of
her younger sister.
So the fairy godmother sug-
gested to Maria that she should
60 with her to the colonial pos
session for a visit. And Maria
felt that the gate of Heaven had
opened.
The sister was furious, Of
course, but the slavery relative
packed her trunk. The fairy god
mother bought her some becom-
ing, if inexpensive clothes, took
her to a beauty parlor, treated
her to a permanent and pre-
Sented a set of beautifiers. Two
weeks later they set sail.
On the voyage out, Maria made
the thrilling discovery that men
actually talked to her. Shed
never talked to any of the sex ex-
cept the butcher, the baker, and
the man who read the electric
light meter. She had several dates
on board and one or two real'for'
sure kisses.
When they arrived at the name
less colonial possession, there were
not many women. 1t was not a
glittering post, and those who had
any political pull tried to get sent
somewhere else.
The fairy godmother began
giving little honey entertain
ments, in which Maria's mayon-
naise figured. There were salads
for luncheon and Sunday night
papers; also little sandwiches,
plus a dash Of the mayonnaiSe, at
other meals.
New Interests
Maria began to flower right out
of her shell. She looked about 10
years older than her genuine 27
when she slaved for sister, and
about 10 years younger now that
she was having a good time.
You've guessed-the inevitable
happened. Before the year was
out, Maria was engaged ana mar,
ried to a young lieutenGz.t. a sec
ond lieutenant. But wasn't that
a whole lot better than darning
her sisters children's stockings
and washing dishes?
The moral of this story is: II

Etiquette
Anniversary
Dinner
ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. S.CORNELIUS BEECkMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II am married and would like to
have a party to celebrate my par
ents' twenty-fifth wedding ami
versary. Will you please give me
some ideas, and is it correct for
me to have the party?
what color decorations should
use?
Should I, or should my parents,
write the thank you notes? M"
Yes, it's proper, and very de-
lightful. for you to give the party
in honor of your parents twenty
fifth wedding anniversary. The
party may be given as a luncheon,
a dinner, an afternoon tea, or a
supper. And buffet service is a
very popular and most convenient
form of service for this party.
Since the twenty-fifth anniver-
Sary is the silver one, your deco
rations would, so far as possible,
be in silver tones. You might use
silver paper for your table-cover-
ing; a silver centerpiece with white
flowers; silver candlesticks with
white candles, and in your COM
potes you might use silver dragees
(small silvered chocolate candieS) {.
Add the charmingly festive touch
of having a brides cake "a white
cake covered with white froSting). .
This might be decorated with the
initials and the two dates Q910-
1935) traced with tiny silvered
candies. which you can buy at
confectionery
The gifts brought to this party
will, of course, be for your parents.
and therefore the notes of thanks
should be written by your mother,
who, in her notes, would also ex-
press your fathers appreciation.

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. l3 QNS0
The stock market developed
stronger tone today after an early
reaction. Trading was the quiet
est in some time.
The improvement was largely
attributed. to the betterment Of
the markets internal position by
yesterdays reaction. Some notice
also was paid to the bulliSh mes
sage on business of President
Roosevelt to the American Bank
erS Association convention.
SteelS as a group made the best
showing, responding to the latest
upturn in the industry's operations
and forecasts Of further gains
ahead. Bethlehem rose over a
point in active dealings. United
States Steel was stronger.
Better october earnings were
q factor in stiffening the rails.
Some individual issues scored
wide gains. American Bank Note
ran UP 3 points to new high.
Radio preferred B Spurted 8
points more after yesterdays
squirt and also hit a new high.
Recent bull favorites were in
