seems to have lined up quite a
floor show, headed by Lucille
and Lindon, international dance
stars.
Tonight is the night when the
Hamilton Hotel starts serving its
famous Christmas dinner. The
excellent menu that Dick Butler
offered Thanksgiving Day is still
on the minds of all those who.
partook of it and, as good news
travels fast, there Is no doubt
that he will have. three times
as many persons on hand to-
night and tomorrow. The big
feature is the price which will
fit everyone's pocketbook. OF
course, Milton Davis and his or
chestra are still flourishing in
the Rainbow Room.
Rise To Fame
Charlie Opunui, guitarist with
George Ku and his Paradise
Islanders at the Ambassadors Hi
Hat, is very good material for q
story book. His rise to fame
came after he had been singing in
a Hawaiian church choir. Beside
him was Gordon st. Chad, who
got a chance to go to the States
and make good. This so inspired
Charlie that he also left but had
to work his way across the ocean.
On arriving here, he clicked and
now, after much effort, he is
back again next to Gordon St.
Chad, singing away as he did
many years ago in the land Of
Waikiki.
Of course, the big Christmas
dinner that is being served at the
Shoreham Hotel is the main topic
of discussion for most folks. But
dinner or no dinner, Prince Mogul,
the man with the X-ray mind, is
still a feature attraction. He
really is uncanny and after a
Seance, so to speak, with this
marvel, your correspondent is GER
tain that he has some kind of
uncanny powers. What he told
me was nobodys business but my
own and I am earnestly looking
forward to longer reading this
week. And this is not bosh. See
him, if you doubt me.
Last night at Maryland Club
Gardens, the first lottery winners
were drawn and the lucky winner
won real honest-to-goodneSS
sucking pig which was presented
right on the floor. Tickets had
been given out all week with the
announcement that the winner
would be drawn last night. And
did they flock back? Another
fine stunt that will no doubt be-
come the talk of the town in a
very short time. BY the way the
prizes are something to write
home about.
The Russian Troika should be
recovering about now from it's
gigantic party of Sunday, when
Helen Hamilton, the lady of la
Troika, turned over her house
and help to the Santa Claus toy
fund. This was truly great eve
ming, with the number of toys re-
ceived far greater than ever was
imagined. Everybody in the
place was inspired and the guests
ended the evening by singing

the arrival of one more member of
our after-dark family. This new
spot is not strictly a night club
but rather cocktail lounge and
cafe. Am referring to the Cafe
Samovar, which will be located
in the Burlington Hotel. The
: motif will be distinctly Cont
nentaE There will be no dance
, music, but the entertainment will
be supplied by the Royal Persians
and Leila Chanum, genuine
nautch dancer. Am very inter
eSted in seeing this last named
subject and will certainly be on
hand Friday to give her the once
over.
Tonight is the night when the
dwarf Santa Claus comes to
Heigh-Ho to help receive all the
toys the guests will bring to this
smart club when they do their
Christmas Eve stepping out. OF
course, after this little Santa
Claus gets all of the toys, he will
Immediately start out to distribute
them among the poor children of
the city so that they will have a
smile on their faces tomorrow
morning. It should be a great
night at this Connecticut Avenue
supper club.
Sports Night
Any athletic banquet would
have been proud to have had on
hand the football and boxing stars
that. were guests Sunday night at
La Paree for the Midnight Sky
ride. No less than Paul Tangora,
All-America guard from North
western; Irish Carroll and George
Mulligan, stars of Catholic Uni
versity's Orange Bowl team, and
Marty Gallagher and Matte Brown,
boxers, made a few comments
over the air, as did Bob Considine.
who did the introducing. In spite
of the apparent dizziness of so
many speeches, the patrons
seemed to enjoy every minute of
1t, mainly because it was different.
It IS amazing to note how
much difference costumes make
in the all-around appearance of
a line of girls. At the Lotus
this week is a new show and
the outstanding feature Of the
: whole revue is the wardrobe of
the ensemble. 1t is fresh and
new and, quite naturally, adds
Nster to the entertainment. No
= matter how good the girls may
be so far as dancing goes, cheap
and old wardrobeS will ruin their
steps. Lady Mel. who produced
the revue, certainly knows her
business.
For the past ten days every
one has been wondering and
asking his friends exactly what
Koliatha means. Well, it is still
a bit vague to your correspond
ent and the only solution is to
. drop up to the Volga Boatman
and see for yourself. It has
something to do with a Russian
, Christmas and Matt Windsor
has put in special floor show
to give washington an idea of
how this holiday is celebrated
over there. The show will con-
sist of three big acts and all
new costumes. and, according to
Matt. it is stupendous.
Only one week remains for
you to get your reservations at
the Continental Hotel for the big
party next Tuesday. AS you no
doubt know, this night marks
the opening of their new room.
Happy Walker is in charge OF

The Island of Napoleon

Elba, the Island of Napoleon, Is the largest Island in the Tuscan archipelago and forms part of the province of Leghorn. While its real fame attaches to Napoleon. It's ma terlal fame is Tn It's wealthy Iron ores, It's climate and fertile soil. During it's history, Elba has involved the Saracens, the people of Bar bary, the Pisans, the Genoese, French, English and Spaniards in warfare. Today 1t Is part of the kingdom of Italy. The villa of San Martino, an unpretentlous building, was altered by Napoleon as a resi- dence for himself, but today there is nothing left of the furniture of his time.

THROUGH A .nanls Eyes Rv IF AN NEW
BACK TO THE KITCHEN"

"THERE are two kinds of wom-
 l en-those that men love and marry, and those who belong to clubs. Well. it's back to the spin ming wheel for women now. And back to the kitchen. That's where women belong"
 Pretty strong words those. Their author is herself well-known Mid West clubwoman and lawyer, and recently she was inducted as presi- dent of the Chicago Business and Professional Women's club.
 livery club woman and profes- sional woman, young or old" she added, would gladly chuck her career to marry a good man."
 A married woman-and to give force to her words she added, "I am active in club and professional work myself, but I see the error of my ways"
 We'll! What are we going to say to the scores of young girls get ting out of college preparing for careers, who ask, What about that? Is it all fzzle, this busi- ness of independence, work, careers for wOmen?'
 The answer Is the same as to any extreme statement If the lawyer clubwoman, Mrs. Leonora z. Meder, really spoke seriously when she said women belong in the kitchen, she Is not to be taken seriously. Naturally every girl, career-minded or not, has in the back of her mind the assumption oi eventual mar riage. But if t is true that pro- fessional women would gladly chuck their careers for marriage, 1t Is no less true that many married women think they would gain in swap for careers.
 Again, if Mrs. Meder Is serious in her statements, they would seem to be the reaction of something overdone. Perhaps the combined jobs of wife. lawyer, clubwoman have proved too much for her, and for the moment nothing seems so idyllic as retreat to the kitchen. That is one point of truth that we can consclentiously hold up to won, dering girls. Trying to take on all the jobs-wife, mother, and bus- ness or profession, is very likely to be too much. It's more than any man attempts. and it's hardly fair to a woman.

pit. Peter stopped short, then sat up to stare.
 It was Mourner the Dove whom Peter saw. His body was little bigger than that If Welcome Robin, but his slender neck and longer tail and wings made him appear consid. erably bigger. His shape reminded Peter at once of the pigeons up at Farmer Browns. His back was grayish brown, varying to bluish. gray. The crown and upper parts of his head were bluish-gray His breast was reddish-buff shading down Into a soft buff. His bill was black and his feet red. The two middle feathers Ol his tail were longest and of the color of his back. The other feathers were slaty- gray with little black bands and tipped with white. On his wings were a few scattered black spots, and there was one under each ear. But 1t was the sides of his neck which were the most beautiful part of Mourner. When untouched by the Jolly Little Sunbeams his neck appeared much like his breast, but the moment the sides were touched by the Jolly Little Sunbeams they seemed to be of many colors con. stantly changing, which, as you know, Is called iridescence.
 But 1t was not Mourner's ap- pearance which make Peter stare; 1t was what he was doing. He was walking about, and every now and then picked up something, quite as if he were getting his breakfast in that gravel pit. Peter couldn't

Eskimo Children Lucky

The Eskimo child is in some re- spects the luckiest child in the world. He Is never scolded or whipped and is respected and re- vered by his parents. This Is be- cause the uperstition-d dominated Eskimo believes that in the child the spirit of its dead grandfather or grandmother lives again. For this reason, 1t Is quite common to hear an Eskimo mother address her child as mother or father.

Ihe llllls must De settled once and for all.
 At nine o'clock Wednesday eve hing Anne called her husbands office on the phone, asked If she might speak to Gregg, and upon hearing his voice over the wire, hung up the receiver without speak. ing a word.
 So far so good.
 It was now 9:O5.
 Anne backed her own roadster from the garage and drove down town and parked at a spot which commanded a view of the front door of Gregg's office building.
 
 Hardly had she switched off the ignition when her heart gave a bound.
 A blue coupe, with chromium cov- cred tire racks mounted on either running board, had just pulled away from the opposite curb.
 There were two people in the car, man and a woman.
 The man was Greggl
 There was no mistaking It.
 The blue coupe with the chrom- ium tire covers was his. There was no mistaking this, either.
 Anne sat as If stunned.
 Now that she had actually seen with her own eyes, the revelation was more of blow than she had anticipated.
 The shock of 1t had a sort of numblng effect.
 She sat still for five minutes. Gradually her tensed muscles re- faxed. She moved automatically. started the car, guiding 1t through traffic toward home.
 Home
 The thought slckened her. tore at her heart.
 Gregg-untrue! Incrediblei
 Yet she had seen Well, 1t was best she knew, best that the thing was settled.
 Now she could conduct herself with some definite plan of action in mind.
 Of course she'd have to leave Gregg. This was inevitable.
 The parting would be hard.
 She pictured his looking at her. That would be harder still-meet- ing his eyes, which had always been so twinkly and wholly lovable.
 Anne told herself she still loved him. Hers was the kind of love that went on and on.
 It would never end.
 Yet 1t would be easier not seeing
 She left her roadster beside the house.
 It would be best to leave tonight. Perhaps before Gregg came home.
 No. that wouldn't do.
 She'd pack first, then walt to face him.
 The house was deathly still.
 It was always still and lonesome feeling without Gregg there.
 Ii always would be.
 Anne's lips were grim.
 There was a strange calm about her, determination in her expres- sion.
 She hoped that the feeling of strength which had come to con- fAr.t bnr ,Ynt11I 1a bo was done.
 Anne snapped on her dressing table light and began to gather things into a little pile.
 For one brief moment she thought of Gregg and almost gave in to the ache In her heart
 Then something happened Another light snapped on. Anne turned.
 Gregg was sitting up In bed, rub bing his eyes, trying to adjust a sleep-drugged mind to what was happening.
 "Gregg!"
 "Huh?-oh. hello, Anne. Sorry dropped off before you came In. Couldn't help 1t. Too much work Dead tired had to quit early tonight"
 He lay back.
 Dumb cluck of stenog. tried to make me drive her all the way home. I dropped her at Fifth street. Got q bus there"
 His voice faded.
 He closed his eyes, breathing heavily in sleep.
 Once he reused, brushed a hand across his cheek with a little ges- ture of impatlenee
