PicnicS
Make Outings
Pleasant

This is the season when the
outdoors calls all work-a-day
folks to come out to enjoy the
sunshine and an informal meal.
Whether you take your picnic
to the front porch, the lawn or
the woods, it's fun to make the
menu just a little different from
the usual sandwich and potato
salad meal.
One substantial dish, either a
big bowl of meat and vegetable
salad, jellied meat loaf, a GOV.
cred bean jar of baked beans
and bacon, or a big casserole of
beef, rice and tomatoes, makes
a foundation dish which every
one will enjoy and which serves
we'll on porch, lawn or in true
picnic fashion. Make meat the
basis of this substantial dish,
whether hot or cold.
With such a foundation there
is no necessity of spreading sand
wiches. Just supply plenty of
rye bread, some rolls or buns,
and lots of fresh butter.
Vegetables for this informal
feast are best raw, and there
is a marvellous assortment to
choose from-raw carrots, cut
in long finger-tip strips, cauli-
flower broken into small flow
erets, cucumbers, tomatoes, green
onions and radishes.
A big jar of jam or jelly,
plenty of a generous dessert of
fresh berries, cool beverage, and
some frisp icebox cookies make
this a completely satisfying
menu.

The first thing to do, my dear

herself beloved, and she GER

AS one of our leading young
American designers, Muriel

She has done interesting things

When Depression Came,
Mur1e1 King Decided
On New Career
By WILMA LAVILLE

Murel King stepped into designing spontaneously and at
just the right moment 1t all began about three years ago
when everybody looking around for American de-
sgner sponsor Miss King had been fashion artist for
years both here and abroad Her work had appeared
regularly in Vogue and Femina and other leading fashion
publications Then suddenly the panic and prices
for art work like everything else dropped to low
The Washington times., 1935-07-10


was young and gay and it was
springtime in Paris. One of
her friends, noting that she
had a little leisure time, asked
for her advice in the assem-
bling of a wardrobe. Muriel
King became tremendously in
terested in helping, and almost
before she knew it, she was de-
signing clothes for her friends.
American Find
She returned to America,
and between February and July
was discovered by thirty smart
women and one smart woman
executive, Dorothy Shaver, of
Lord and Taylor's. And so
Muriel King became one of the
first American designers to be
sponsored by that great Fifth
Avenue institution.
Sudden success is frighten-
ing. Miss King says there were
many times when she wanted
to run in a corner and hide.
Times when she felt that she
couldn't possibly live up to her
press notices. But she could
not hide. There was no time.
The path to her door was be-
coming too we'll travelled. She
was written up in the papers,
the fashion magazines, the
WeeklieS and even in Fortune.
She was we'll on her way.
She is a grand-looking girl,
the type of face and tall, slender
figure you've always imagined a
fashion authority would have.
She was born in Seattle, and is
very unassuming. Her studio,
next to the colony, is in a plain,
old-faShioned, brownstone house.
Once inside, you get a feeling
of her personality in the simple
modern decor of the place. She
has a very smart private Glen
tele. OF all ages. From debs
to dowagers. She sells directly
from sketches and only one
dress of a kind. She refuses to
duplicate and shows no collec-
tions to her private trade. Just
makes up what she feels is best
for them. Altman's have a spe-
cial salon where they show
groups of her things several
times a year.
For All Types

Other people have to be studied.
She would like some day to do

Yes. indeed, it is important
that you introduce your music
teacher to a friend or friends
who may be in the room when
your teacher enters. To omit this
introduction would be most un-
gracious and impolite and in
hospitable.

Wear Formal
Dress

By MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have an invitation to a
formal wedding in the Episcopal
church, to be held at $3.50 in
the evening. Does this require
formal afternoon attire, or
would it be evening dress? AS
. the ritual of this church requires
a covering for the head, when
attending church, 1 feel that it
would be necessary to wear aft
ernOOn dress. T."
I'm fairly sure that this bride
means to indicate that her $50
wedding will be an evening
wedding, but if you have any
doubts the wisest thing is to in
quire, of her or of her mother.
And since it is to be a formal
wedding in church, and prob.
ably to be considered an eve
ming wedding, you would wear
a formal evening dress and eve
ming wrap. For your "head-cov.
ering" required by this church,
you may wear either an evening
type hat. or a scarf, say of tulle,
over your head.

Hit
Farce For
National

Monday night at the National
Theater another of New York's
current hits, "Petticoat Fever"
will open a weeks engagement.
This romantic comedy by Mark
Reed is now in it's third month
at the Ritz Theater and bids
fair to run right through the
summer.
The setting represents the
rather primitive cabin Of Dascom
Dinsmore, a radio operator sta
toned on a bleak and remote
coast of Labrador. This would
seem like an incongruouS place
to find romance since the oper-
ator of the wireless has not seen
woman in two years. DinSmore
is wondering why he ever came
to this lonely post without find
ing a good reason unless it was
that he was getting fat growing
rubber in Sumatra. Suddenly
there is pumped right into his

when Sir James Fenton and his
fiancee, Ethel Campton, arrive

plane and are off their course.
Right here is where the fun
goes into high speed.
Set in Labrador
It would diSsipate the pleasure
of playgoers to give more of the
plot at this time, suffice to say
that Operator Dinsmore finds
plenty of fun and excitement till
his fiancee arrives, previous to
which he has begun to enjoy the
presence of the unexpected visi-
tors. There is a surprise proposal
in Labrador and everything ends
happily.

ing refrain AL JolSOn is singing
down at the Metropolitan, runs on
long after the show is over. Jolson
and Ruby Keeler (Mrs. Jolson in
private life) return to F Street
this week with a musical which
boasts Jolson's delightful singing
and Ruby's vivaciouS charm and
excellent dancing, combination
which assures perfect light enter
tainment.
The famed comedian, appearing
both as a Broadway dance hall
producer and a black-faced enter
tainer, leaves nothing to be de-
sired of Jolson technique. Several
of the hits of the season make
their appearance under AIS show
manship, "A Quarter of Nine," and
some not quite so popular but
none the less tuneful.
Despite all that, it is the snappy
dancing by Miss Keller which adds
just the right amount of novelty
and life to the picture. Glenda
Farrell does clever bit of acting
as a sophisticated young lady, sis
ter to A. Howard, who is deter
mined that he shall not throw
away his chance of being the
toast of Broadway. Then there is
Helen Morgan singing from her
perch on Grand piano, and Patsy
Kelly insisting on demonstrating
the dance of the dying flamingo,
all interspersed into a very accept
able musical extravaganza. Here
is a tuneful and lively revue, re-
plete with effective dance ensem-
bles, some humor and enough &C.
ton to make it another Jolson
success, this for both Ruby and AL.
