Tempting Fall Menus

There's a tang to the air!
October is here! Let's bring on
pumpkin pie-and steak-and
give a though to Halloween.
We have pumpkin pie almost
all year round. True! But fall
is the real time for this grand
est of pies. It belongs in an
october menu. Suppose we plan
one. How's this? Broiled steak
with onion rings and fluffy
mashed potatoes, salad of cole
Slaw, and, for dessert, pumpkin
pie with cheese.
That pumpkin pie! It's really
a kind of cuStard pie, remem-
Der, and must be baked slowly
in order to keep the ingredients
from separating. Follow this
recipe:

HAPPY WITH EITHER

Dear Miss Fairfax:

am equally in love with two

the rest Of my life happily with

1naSmuch as there are two
girls, either of whom is equally
charming to you, don't you
think that after you finish col
lege you might meet one or
even two more who would seem
as desirable as these young
ladies? A young man who is
about to acquire a diploma, as
you will next spring, would do
well, it seems to me, to wait a
little, before he aspires to that

I should like to get your

my dear F. B. A., because in

were several contradictory state

1 cannot imagine a mother

very foolish for a girl Of such

who is repulsive to her. I am

utes longer.
In case you use freshly cooked
pumpkin, be sure to have it
as dry as possible. Baked or
steamed, sieved pumpkin is best.
For an extra good pie, add an
other egg. It's the eggs, remem-
ber, that give the lovely Gus
tardy consistency. If a sweeter
pie is more to your taste you
can increase the sugar a little
up to "a cup. But don't cut
down on the butter, because
this helps give the pie it's rich.

Straight Cut

Fur, again Persian lamb,
trims this coat too. 1t makes
the collar and marks the pock-
cts. A leather belt adds to the
military effect, and the coat is
cut straight and slim. 1t is of
an imported nubby woolen, and
is an adaptation of Marcel
RochaS coat.
Notice the accessories, chosen
to go with the coats. On the
left is a high military hat, Cen
trail European again, and a beau
tiful antelope bag that is simple,
but not too tailored. The hat
on the right is off the face, but
not extreme, and the bag is
rather tailored, swinging from a
huge metal ring.

SchiapareIli Coat

One, shown at the left Of our
picture, is a Schiaparelli copy
made of an imported angora
woolen. It has the new wide
shouldered look which is strictly
military, and its new points are
the little standing collar, the
fur pieces on the shoulders, fur
cuffs and fur buttons. OF course
the fur is Persian lamb, a very
fine, silky quality.
We might say the coat on the
left is military in a manner that
is European, while the one on
the right is military too. in

Etiquette
Omit Names of
Parents
ByMRs. s.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Recently we received an in
vitation to a wedding which
read like this: 'Mr. Samuel
Brown requests the honor Of
your presence at the wedding
of his daughter, Muriel, to Mr..
Arthur Jones on Saturday at
nine o'clock, Blank Date
"SOme of the members Of my
family, who also received invi-
tations, brought up the subject
of an error, in that the invita-.
ton should have included the
grOom's parents names, such
as in the phrase: Son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Jones, Sr.'
Since the family is not so
prominent, / contend that this
extra phrase is not necessary,
and, therefore, not a breach Of
etiquette if omitted.
II do see, however, in society
columns, that the names Of the
grOOm-tO-be's parents are In
CIuded in announcement Of en-
gagement or weddings. What
do you think? M"
It is not correct to include
the names of the parents of the
groom in a wedding invitation
or announcement. The fact
that the parents of the groom
are not prominent makes no
difference in this question Of
good form.
But in newspaper announce
ments of an engagement or
wedding, it is customary to
give the names of the groom's
parents, and usually their ad-
dress.

a world power and brought it into the
Pacific area more than ever before.
Today Hawaii is Americas western
outpost, almost a fundamental neces-
sity in the protection of the western
coast of the mainland. This part in
Americas scheme of defense is pri-
marily naval. AS feet base Hawaii
serves America. The army simply pro-
tects that base from attack and has
no other reason for being in Hawaii.
When sail power was the means OF
locomotion on the seas Hawaii was
an imperative need When steam
from coal became the source Of power
Hawaii's value was hardly less. With
greater and greater radius of action
by oil-burning vessels Hawaii may be
slightly less important.
But it's 1000 miles distance from
the West Coast, its commanding loca-
tion in the North Pacific. both for
ocean and air travel. gives America
such a tremendous advantage in any
Pacific operation that it is hardly
conceivable that its strategic value
will ever be less.
The probable inability of the coun-
try to maintain itself as an lnde-
pendent nation made the alternative
faced in 1898 one, not of independence
versus annexation, but Of belonging
either to America or some other
nation.
With such an alternative there was
only one answer, both for Hawaii and
for America. The occupation of this
spearhead aimed at the mainland by
any nation that might have inimical
interests to America could not be
tolerated by the latter.
For Hawaii, the whole course OF
its history tied it to the American
Nation, its destiny since at least the
1870's has been to become in some
manner attached to America, des-
tiny actively promoted by its leading
business interests and accepted by its
native people.
The creation Of fleet naval base
in Hawaii, the maintenance Of an
Army department here for the pro-
lection of that base, aggregating per-
haps 10000 men, brings into the
local scene a military atmosphere
that no other American community
has to such q marked degree.
Our aspiration is ultimate State
hood. There is no place in the Amer
ican scheme of government for any
community that is permanently
barred from achieving the status of
sovereign State. The question of time
might be subject to argument, but it
hardly can be maintained that Ha-
wall can be kept In the status OF q
Territory.
