Turkey and 7 Trimmings Are Features
Of Traditional Christmas Feast

Dinner parties in Washington
are favorite way of entertaining
and, of course, for Christmas spe-
cial preparations are made for the
Christmas feast"
The traditional piece de resi-.
stance for the Christmas dinner
is, of course, turkey. Served with
all the trimmings, it gives occa-
sion for very festive meal.
The Christmas dinner follows
well-defined color scheme-red
and green for the table decora-
tons and for the menu.
For your first course sea food
cocktail garnished with parsley
served with spiced cocktail sauce
is excellent. Fruit cups or soup
are also fine and less expensive.
The dressing for your turkey
should be most carefully chosen.
Pecan stuffing or chestnuts are
very good. In Maryland, the Gus
tom is to serve kraut with tur-
key and there, as in many other
parts of the South, the preferred
stuffing is sausage. Wild rice stuff
ing. while best for game or goose,
Is also good in turkey.

r. use don't gush and be glad,
b. iause gushing" adds at
le~.s 10 years to your age.
n mothers day, it was the
t, lg to gush and be glad
a out pretty nearly everything
the weather. the day of the
week, the season of the year,
a ham sandwich or a new hat.
But with jobs for women,
g;"ls have learned to gush less.
Styles change in behavior, just
as they do in skirts, coats and the
et~ateraS of feminine garb.
Strange seem those be-plumed
hats, which used to flare and
sweep over pompadourS, when you
come across them today in photo
graphs of stage favorites of a
couple of generations ago.
And stranger still seems that
leftover, the gushing girl, in this
different and hard-boiled age.
Revolutions in hats and clothes
are no greater than revolutions in
human behavior. When the older
generation formed its habits and
its manners, girls weren't as sure
Of themselves as they are today.
Fashions Change
Their line" when mother was
q girl and even good deal later,
was to act school-girliSh, ignorant
of the world, and bubblingly en-
thusiastic over everything from
Sodas to Shakespeare.
The sentimental young thing
who could outgush the rest of
the bunch was the most popular,
and got most of the dates and the
beaux as well.
Look over the Best Sellers of
generation ago, and the phrase
"bubbling, innocent youth" is al.
most stencil.

sweet in those days; you had to
prove it; and alas! it's this glad,
gushing note that a good many of
the older girls have preserved
and it dates them more than a
pompadour would.
Perhaps Aunt Mayme doesn't
lool- a minute over 20 and could
deceive the most seasoned old dow
ager or even a boy not long out
of college. But when she begins
to be bubblingly enthusiastic over
everything, in and out of season,
we begin to think back to those
ladies who were very popular
about the time of the Spanish
American war.
Telltale Signs
The girl of today is composed,
neutrality-suspicious. even just a
bit hard. She makes no effort to
dramatic the fact that she is
young and presumably inexperi-
enced. In fact, she often pretends
to be more experienced and world
ly.wise than she really is.
Indeed, the modern girl Is apt
to ignore the question of age al
together. She can meet a woman
of so on equal terms or she can
turn the head of college boy.
And, ali said and done she is
a much easier person to encoun-
ter than the old-faShioned girl
who felt she must never stop smil-
ing or giggling for moment.
So, my dear young ladies-sup-
pose that milestone of 80 or even
IS has cast its shadow upon YOU
please don't gush! It will give
you away sooner than your first
faint crows feet or gray hair.

BURKE To FACE
BR0ACA TODAY

Bob Burke, the lanky left
handler of the Griffs, who made
his last appearance on the pitch"
ing hill 10 days ago against the
Detroit Tigers, will start against
the New York Yankees this after
non as the former fence busters
of the Bronx roll into town. Ac-
cording to present plans Bump
Hadley will pitch one Of the
games tomorrow with lefty Leon
Petit working in another. Petit
showed enough against the
Yankees on May / to warrant
starting him.
Johnny Broaca, the right
handed boy who stared for Yale
a few years ago, probably will do
the hurting for the Yankees.
Broaca is always a tough hombre
for the GriffS, but with the
newly developed skill of the local
warriors at pushing hunts around
the infield, Broaca may have his
work cut out for him.
This is the first appearance of
the Yankees in Washington since
1920 without Babe Ruth in the
line up.
The loss of Buck Newsom, the
$4,000 pitcher bought from St.
Louis Browns a week ago, has
heightened the resolve of the
Griffs to fight just a bit harder
until the swarthy Southern boy
returns to the pitching bill.

BIG STRIKES
THREATENED
BYLABOR
Coal and Textile WaIkoutS
Loom If Employers Fail to
Keep Up NRA Wages
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

A disturbing picture of business
and industrial confusion, accom-
panied by the threat of nation
wide strikes in some major indus
tries, arose today in the wake Of
the Supreme Courts blast that
blew down the New Deals house
Of cards.
The vast coal and textile indus
tries, which sprawl across the
boundaries of many States, ap-
peared likely to be the first az
fected.
Negotiations for a new coal con-
tract between operators and
miners have been dropped, and
union leaders asserted today 450,-
900 workmen will go out on June
II unless an agreement is reached.
How a new agreement is to be
reached with the negotiations
suspended was not explained.
Congress Paralyzed
Textile workers will leave their
looms and spindles at the first
sign of wage-cutting, or departure
from the MIRA code conditions, &C.
cording to Francis j. German,
union leader.
Meanwhile. Congress appeared
in a state Of legislative paralysis,
and the rest of the Government
in a daze as to what measures can
be taken to avert a period Of in
duStrial chaos.
The Supreme Courts verdict
that the NRA is unconstitutional,
and the plain inference that other
New Deal legislation is in the
same category, had a paralyzing
effect upon Washington. Admin

themselves endlessly, but unpro-
ductively.

President Roosevelt has under
consideration a national appeal to
industry and labor to stand by
the MIRA codes on a voluntary
basis until some way out of the
morass is discovered. He has
been urged to go to the country
in another radio "fireSide talk"
appealing for calmness and team
work in a period of emergency.
That is a possibility, although not
a certainty.
Solution Sought
Mr.. Roosevelt is understood to
be averse to breaking his silence
until he has something definite
and concrete to propose. And to
arrive at that something requires
