Space is the first consideration
when arranging for a bar, or some
thing of the sort. Sometimes we
can give up only a corner, or a
shelf to our wines, liquors, glasses
and accessories. In that case, the
use of many trays is a help, and
one person had better concentrate
their efforts on serving. all OF it
being done from the trays. in the
living room or dining room.
If you have a corner, it is often
smart to have a shelf on hinges
that you can hook up out of the
way when it is not in use, but
which can be let down to make
the bar when you need it. Reach,
ing behind you for the necessary
bottles and glasses, you can do a
pretty good bartending job, when
the occasion arises.
Bars on Wheels
Many people solve the problem
with various types of portable
bars, or small ready-built cellar
cites or bars, which may be put
into the pantry, or any convenient
spot. Bars on wheels are excellent,
as they can be rolled into the room
where you are having the party,
and then rolled out again, full
of empty glasses, when you're all
through.
Buff you have a little room
off the pantry, or better still, off
a terrace, you can really "do a
job" Perhaps it's a little room
or a portion of your recreation
room in the basement. You can
have ample space for bottles, cases

The waffles were done right at
the table so we could anticipate
their goodness even before they
were ready.
Mary, being the Edison of the
team, was again displaying genius.

over their veneered end table and,

Beauty
AUot Exercise
Time
By DONNA GRACE

The woman who may have few
interests outside of her home has
a natural desire to be attractive,
but, unless she can get away from
her responsibilities from time to
time, she may become discouraged
and overwhelmed by the endless
monotony of housework.
There is always something to do.
With the daily housework finished,
the mending, shopping, and caring
for the family's interests seem to
consume the whole day.
Housewives have learned TO SyS.
tematize their work so as to have
their regular time for certain
things, but they rarely leave any
time for their own interests. All
exercises and beauty treatments
are done whenever there is an ur'
gent need for them.
AS a matter of fact, few home
women have any definite time for
exercise. Their work Is such that
they are physically tired and have
no inclination to exert themselves.
Before going to bed, the face
and hands may receive attention;
but, when she is exhausted, there
is no desire to spend time with
beauty aids. We believe whenever
it is possible, exercises should be
done during the day.
Any selected routine is good, and
instead of increasing the physical
strain they will have the opposite
effect. They will relieve the tense
ness Of the leg and back muscles
and enable one to do more work
with less effort.
Every woman has a right to
the exercise periods for her own
sake. One Of the best times Is
when the morning work is fin.
iShed, or about 10:30; then again
about 2 o'clock in the after
noon-just the time one would
be inclined to sit back or lie down
for a little nap.
Refresh yourself with some
brisk stretching movements as
well as rhythmic leg-swings and
bending, and you will find the
tense, weary feeling will disap
pear.
The best thing about these ex.
erciSes after the physical relief
is they keep one supple and
graceful, and absolutely prevent
large abdomenS and wide hips.
My NOrmalizing Set Is one
that includes all Of the very
best ones, and they are illus
trated to show just how they
are done, SO for your own
beauty and health, send for a
copy and keep yourself attrac-
tive. Enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope and address

said.

Jane insisted.
While breakfast was being pre-
pared Jane made some strawberry
mousse for dinner. 1t was al
ready beginning to harden when
she showed it to me. I think you

tastes delicious. The added maple
syrup does things for it.
Strawberry Mousse
"a cup crushed strawberries
1cup of double cream
3 tablespoons Of cold water
"a cup sugar
"a cup maple syrup
teaspoon of granulated gelatine
She Softened the gelatine in the
cold water, then warmed it by set

it was dissolved she stirred in the
sugar, Strawberries, and whipped
cream that she had beaten stiff
After she showed it to me she
whipped it up again as she said she
thought it then became smoother
and better favored.
For dinner, they planned to have
city chicken Dreaded, sweet potato

tato that had been run through
the ricer and made into little balls
with a marShmallow quarter in
side, then Drowned in the Dutch
oven, a salad made from celery
and cheese balls, and for dessert
the strawberry mousse.
I want to tell you about the
salad. Finely chopped celery had
been blended with cream cheese
seasoned with salt, a dash Of curry
powder, and pepper. It was moist
ened with vinegar, shaped into
little balls the size Of . walnut and

small items that delight the heart
of a man.
If I were doing it, I'd build in
a sink, first thing. And I'd have
lots of compartments, and glass
doors in front of the glasses, so
that they won't have to be wiped
off each time they are used.
I'd have a real mahogany bar,
with q brass rail, and maybe I'd
have SawduSt on the floor.
Ideal Arrangement
But to get to the point of the
story, on a recent trip to New
York, I saw the ideal arrange
ment, for a bar in a house. 1t
was in a room given over to re-
creation, which had French doors
onto a terrace. The bar was big
enough to accommodate the &C
tivities of two or three people, and
was complete with everything
I've mentioned, and much more.
Two or three tables with chairs
were in the room, and a radio,
not to mention a little "cut-
down" piano. Outside on the
terrace were more tables and
chairs, a comfortable glider or
so. when summertime should ar
rive. The room was decorated
like any real living room, with
lamps, bookShelves and comfort
able chairs, besides the game
tables and chairs. It could be
really enjoyed, at any time Of the
year. And it was an ideal place
to entertain, especially if you
wanted to withdraw a noisy party
from the rest of the house.

former Los Angeles liquor control
office manager, and Municipal
Judge Orfa Jean Shontz of Los
Angeles, former southern Califor-
MIA member of the state board OF
equalization.
Mondays testimony was followed
when Senator Young was called
to the witness stand Tuesday to
charge that District Attorney Bur-
on Fits of Los Angeles and the
county grand jury refused to in
dict liquor control employees in
spite of evidence of alleged cor
ruption uncovered in a senate COM
mittee investigation, in which
Young and Hulse had a hand.
The threat of indictment, Mrs.
Toretsky had charged, brought a
bout the resignation of several
employees and the eventual resig-
nation of Mrs. Shontz, and a re-
alignment of the board which
placed Mrs. Helen Werner in a
position to be able to dictate af-
fairs Of the office in Los Angeles.
The indication that Hulse was
to be called as a witness before
the committee came during Mrs.
Toresky's testimony, when she
hesitated about telling of con-
versation with Hulse.
Does this conversation that you
had with Senator Hulse bear di-
rectly upon our Investigations"
she was asked, and replied that
it did, but that it had been con-
fidential.
IF you feel that it would place
YOU in an embarrassing position,
we will get it from Senator Hulse,'
Assemblyman Ralph Evans re-
marked.
The inquiry was pursued Tues
day when Senator Young took the
witness stand to charge that Los
Angeles officials refused to indict
liquor control employees in 1895.
He told the assembly liqlt0r
hearing that both Fits and Fore
man George Rochester of the 1885
grand jury would not go into the
matter despite an unanimous res
olution of the senate committee.
"I had hoped perjury indict-
number of the witnesses" said
ments would be returned against
the senator. He said he was sur
prised that Capt. Bert Massey,
former local liquor enforcement
head, had not been indicted on
this charge.

The recent return of some forms

Judge Malone, who sits on an
international bench before which

cans, if the consent of both the
United States and the Mexican
governments is secured, said that
the large part Of the past troubles
between Mexico and the u. S. has
been due to American agitators who
hope to profit by the trouble.
Malone said that the new policy
in American diplomatic service was
more than trebling the legitimate
business operations of the United
States and Mexico. The men who
now fill responsible positions in
the service, he said, are men who
have been trained for their parti-
cular duty. A revision of the
credit system between the two
countries has been another aid in
building up international trade.
