the worst. that military action can be
confined to Ethiopian disarmament
and the policing of frontier strips.
He sent Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italy's
representative at the abortive tri-
power conference in Paris. back to
Rome with new idea of Frances
appreciation Of Italy's friendship.

Aloisi carried Laval's hope that II
Duce would take the middle course
between conquest of Ethiopia and the
British plan of concessions and thus
avoid break with France.
The French premier allowed An
thony Eden, Britains representative,
to try firmness. but he let Aloisi see
that France disapproves Of threats.

Laval intends to keep both the
British and Italian friendship, even
if war breaks out, by crediting each
side with whatever merits he sees
in the views of each.
He is also determined to save the

from arousing Mussolini to violent
defiance.

 Who doesn't like to look for ward to the entrance of that deli- cious "piece de resistance" tue baked ham, waiting :ts delicately' tantiliZing aroma from the kitch- en for several hours?
 For the Easter dinner, the ham should appear in its most sump- tuous dress. This is the occasion which brings forth the dainticst white china, the most polished of silverware and the daintiest of spring flowers. In other words, the whole dinner must be up to the level of the season 1t ceie- brates.
 For perfect results in that baked ham, be sure to leave the rind on during most of the baking. And by no means, parboil the ham first. In their present mild and carefully controlled cure, top quality hams need never be parboiled. Just bake 1t slowly and gently in a very low oven in any convenient open pan for 25 minutes to the pound.
 For it's festive dress, remove the rind an hour before it's done and cover 1t heavily with It's delicious ! pineapple crust. Slash the fat a couple of times to let the juices lIoak in, and finish the baking ln The same slow oven. If you think this isn't a festive ham, try 1t. It needs no elaborate design of cloves or cherries, no paper frills or other adornments to make it the perfec: Easter menu offering.

 In some homes 1t is the custom to let the coffee "perc" for five minutes or more after the water starts bubbling up into the cap Of the percolator. This is a mistake, really. Overbmoiling or too much percolation should always be avoided because in this way much. of the aroma and delicacy are lost.
