U0 uSSu LUZ LIE
Rabbits are best stewed or
braised and although rabbit can
be fried nature seems to have built
him for a casserole.
Rabbits should be drawn shortly
after killing, and before they are
cold.
For fricasse, the body can be
cut in six pieces and each Of the
legs into two pieces. This makes
IA pieces in all. After they are
cut it is best to wash well in water
and marinate in salt water for
three hours or even over night.
This takes away the strong
flavor. Use salt in the proportion
of two tablespoons to one quart
of water. Some people prefer
marinating in vinegar and oil in
stead of salt water. This is more
expensive but does give a spicy
taste to the meat. A sauce such
as this can be used:
6 tablespoons of salad oil
2 tablespoons Of wine vinegar
6 bay leaves
2 sprigs of parsley
2 medium onions cut in rings
| It is wise to rub the pieces Of
rabbit with salt first, then lay IN
a deep bowl. Pour this mixture
over the pieces and marinate sew
eral hours. You will not need
enough sauce to cover the rabbit
as you can dip the sauce over the
pieces and turn them several
times during this preparation.
Here is recipe for rabbit that
has a spicy tang:
Hassenpfeffer
3 rabbits
u gallon vinegar
Salt
Whole cloves
Whole black pepper
Bay leaves
6 good sized onions
Drowned flour
/ tablespoon brown sugar
lump butter
Clean rabbits and cut in pieces
for serving. Soak for two or
three days in the vinegar, to
which has been added salt to
taste, the whole cloves and black
pepper, the bay leaves and the
onions, which may be sliced or
left whole. On the day they are
served, cook the rabbit until ten

which it has been soaked. It is
better to cook this in a granite

You'll want some new evening
gowns for the holidays, and prob
ably you will crave something
sheer and misty. The idea is to
drift across the dance floor &C
cording to Pictorial Review. Your
gown may be, and usually Is, as
slender as reed, but 1t should
have floating lines-scarfs that
can be draped from the shoulders
and hang free to the floor, or with
graceful looped sleeves that float
after you when you walk. It's a
chiffon season.
Embroidery Returns
One Of the new things in formal
fashions is embroidery. The lat
est development is embroidery or
beaded banding to emphasize the
line Of graceful gown, or outline
the halter decolletage.
Tailored dresses for evening are
almost law unto themselves, for
''big evenings" as well as little
evenings" And you are sure to
want at least one frock luxurious

regal look. Some have sleeves or
little jackets, others for dinner

Exotic COIOrings
Purple is as smart as a color
can be in it's own right, and is
casting its shadows over other
evening colors as well. Ruby with
q distinctly purple tone is very
chic, so is grape, and lavender
tones. And the newest blues shade

How to Insure
Foot Comfort
BY DONNA GRACE

The restless, migratory mem
bers Of our community are al
ready preparing to leave for their
winter sojourn in some land OF
sunshine.
There is the usual talk Of
clothes for the South and clothes
for California, with number Of
them being displayed at the smart
fashion shows. The shops are
displaying gorgeous things in all
types of wearing apparel, includ-
ing the kind of hats that every
girl wants to try on, even II she
never sees a Southern sun. You
know they are these lovely big
bvimS with the flattering lines
that make everyone look a little
Mae Westish."
There is everything to make
us feel the next few months
should be the very best for us.
We will be telling you something
about your new way Of putting
on makeup for these Southern
trips, but just now we must re-
mind you Of your foot beauty.
They have new, open-toed san.
dals for all of our formal wear,
and those for the South expose
the toes and the entire foot as
well.
So you see, there is work to
be done on those feet unless they
are already perfect. They must
be free from blemishes such as
callouses, corns and discolored
nails, and of course they will have
to be pedicured regularly.
Massage the feet two or three
times a week, and besides that,
they may have a quick rub with
any lotion or your toilet water
after each bath. Incidentally,
that is one good excuse for using
some of those refreshing skin per-
fumes. -
We must caution you about
the shaping of your toe nails
when you do your pedicure. They
are always cut straight across
and never tapered.
The tip of the toe needs the
protection of the nail at both
sides and when. the nail is cut
tapered or oval, there may be a
tendency of the flesh to protrude
and overlap and thus cause the
sides of the nail to become en-
bedded and ugly to say nothing
of the discomfort that will be
felt.
You have plenty Of time to
beautify your feet before the sea-
son starts if you will begin now.
My foot treatment will tell you
how to go about it and give you
instructions to insure foot COM
fort. Practice the pedicure and
you will find it an inspiration to
keep the feet beautiful at all
times.
There is no charge for either
of the treatments, but enclose a
stamped, self-addressed darge

address Donna Grace, Beauty
Editor, of this paper.

r. Miss Fairfax.

0huASCU <A1UuuA
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my story is not the unusual
one Of an old woman who is not
wanted by any Of her children.
1 am not claiming credit for CIV
ing them devoted care In their
childhood, refusing to marry be-
cause they did not want a STEP
father, or the fact that I kept the
home together and that they
made better marriages because Of
that.
II worked until I was SO years
Of age, then went to live with my
Oldest son. I helped around the
house, took care Of the children,
did the family mending and some
Of the cooking, but my daughter
in-law wanted her own mother to
live with her, so I left my sons
house and went to stay with my
daughter.
Her husband never wanted to
have me there, because the chill
dren were too fond Of granny
and he was jealous.
MY second daughters way Of
life is not mine. She is married
to a racing man, and their crowd
is distinctly sporty. They have a
very small apartment, and I have
been sleeping on a couch in the
living room.
II feel unhappy and superflu-
Gus, and I am wondering If it
would not be better all around if
I tried to get into some old
woman's home. I'm not blaming
my children, but wish I had
taken more thought for my old
age.

than yours, and I wonder that
your children do not stop to con-

and if in time their children may
not refuse to give them a place at
their firesides.
There's an Old World proverb
that the Lord doesn't pay all Of
his bills on Saturday night, and
they might well pause and reflect
on the date when this bill Of in
gratitude will be rendered. It

Etiquette
Pastor Makes
Calls
yMRs.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when a new pastor comes to
church, should he make the
first call on his members without
special invitation, or should the
members be the ones to take the
first step in inviting him to their
homes?
"I have always thought that the
pastor should take the initiative.
However, as I am not quite sure,
I would be very glad to have your
opinion about 1t. My question, Of
course, concerns a small church
where most people know each
other, and where a pastor comes
to more intimate terms with his
members. "A.
When a pastor comes to a
church, especially a small church
such as you describe, it is custo'
marily taken for granted that, as
soon after he conveniently can
after his arrival, he calls on the
members Of his new church. The
members do not especially invite
him to make these calls, but, of
course, it is gracious and friendly
for them to do so, if they wish.
And, since the Bible says that
we should be "given to hospital
ity," it is pleasant and kind for
member to invite the pastor, or
the pastor and his wife if he has
one, to tea or dinner. It will
make him Cor them) feel warm
hearted welcome to the new COM
munity.

Anyhow, Mr.. Wilson managed
to trade a left-footed drop-kicker
for a young man who hit 1903
his first year out. In this and
several other ways, Mr.. Wilson
contrived to have himself quite
a year as manager. Somebody
sold or traded one ball club right
out from under him before he
took charge, with those deals for
Whitney ahd Virgil Davis.
But he came right up with
another. He also personally de-
veloped Davis and Moore, the
two best first-year pitchers in
the league, exclusive of Paul
Dean.
Builds Infield Defense
My pitchers are going to be
made to look very good by
something the Philadelphia
club hasn't had in yearS-an

on. II traded BartelI, my short
stop, for Blondy Ryan and
Johnny Vergez and, before the
year is half over, that's going
to be funny. Why, Ryan alone

will play more shortstop for
me than Bartell can possibly
play for Terry.
"Dick will hit and hustle for
New York, but he can't and
won't cover the ground that
Ryan will for me. Blondy won't
hit as much but he'll do all
right in Philadelphia, with the
short right field wall standing
there beckOning to him."
The wall in question, by the
way, has made a lot Of reputa-
tions that couldn't possibly be
justified elsewhere. 10 hnn n y
Moore, for instance, failed with
the Cubs but hit $3.50 for the
Phillies. Ethan Allen was Just a
ball player in Cincinnati and New
York but also hit $3.50 in the
Philadelphia Park. George Wat
kins didn't hit in New York but
everybody figures him to pull the
ball over the fence and into Broad
Street, Philadelphia.
The other outfielders are Ed
Boland, a hangover from last
year, and a gentleman named

I must have looked as though I
was about to mention something
of the sort, for Mr.. Wilson sud
denly stiffened and impaled ME
with a very stern eye.
Don't kid these boys Of mine"
said ne. "If you do, they'll make
you regret it. What's funny, for
instance, about Lou ChiOzza, the
best young second baSeman in
baseball, or a pitcher like Curt
Davis, who won 10 games for our
seventh-place club last year, or
another like the Indian, Fuel
Moore, who came up to us from
Baltimore late in the year and
kept throwing that ball right
down their thrOatS?
"What's funny about DOlph
CamiIIi, the best first baseman
in the league?"
Extravagant Statement
This last remark, I suspect,
comes under the head of the ex'
travagant statement department,
owing to the fact that, unless there
is some misunderstanding about
the matter, Mr.. Terry, Of New
York, and Mr.. Collins, of st. Louis,
are still planning to play a little
first base this year. None the less,
this Camilli is just good enough
and his passing from Chicago to

have lost a club nresident his job.
