Party Calendar for Month
Gives Prominence to
Several Holidays
By JEAN GREEN

February is short month but very merry one and for
those enjoy making special culinary treats for holidays
it opens endless possibilities.
Each of the holidays has much historical interest and
romance connected with it. On Lincolns birthday next
Wednesday logs could be used very effectively One clever
hostess makes these from cheese sraws and builds

Day and for WaShington's birth.
day comes in for a great share
of attention. In fact. Valentine
parties are right now affording
welcome opportunities for enter
tanning. ...
A Leap Year valentine Party
is an opportunity not to be over
looked!
Table Setting
For your table setting the
vogue for parties at present
seems to suggest either dainti-
ness or comic" parties taking
their inspiration from the comic
valentines. 49,
For the true Valentine party,
the old-fashioned keynote OF lace
and Dresden is still the Smartest.
Using your lace table cloth with
place cards a single old-fashioned
flower wrapped in a tiny lacey
valentine would be appropriate.
For this either pastel colors
in candles, or red could be USED.
The food, too, should be dainty.
The bread sliced thin, cakes
dainty and decorated but plenti-
full.
The "comic" parties have an
air of slap-dash and need for table
setting rough linen or g1ngham
with wooden or paper plates. The
food served would be sturdy ana
filling but decorated in keeping
with the occasion and entertain
ment.
No matter what type of party
you prefer you still will need some
rood Valentines Day recipes.
Here is a very attractive salad:
Valentine Salad
"a cup of cooked diced chicken
IL CUP of shredded string beans
IL cup Of cold boiled rice
2 tablespoons Of chopped green
pepper.
u CUP of chopped celery
u tablespoon of minced parsley Z
2-3 cup of mayonnaiSe
% cup Of whipping cream
/ tablespoon Of gelatin
2 tablespoons Of cold water
u teaspoon Of salt
Tomato ice.
Combine the chicken, beans,
rice, pepper, celery and parsley.
Combine the mayonnaise and
whipped cream. Soften gelatin in
cold water 5 minutes, then melt
over. hot water, cool; add salt
and combine all ingredients ex-
cept the tomato ice. Line the
refrigerator pan with waxed
paper:
Pour layer OF tomato ice (pre-
viously frozen to the mushy state)
into the freezing tray. Then ar
range layer Of chicken salad and
cover with another layer OF
tomato ice. Freeze.
Tomato Ice
Heat two cups Of tomato juice
and cool. Add / tablespoon OF
gelatin softened in cold water.
Season with teaspoon Of lemon
Juice, one teaspoon Of salt, one
teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Freeze.
In making the Valentine Salad,
the frozen mixture should be cut
in squares and each portion
served in a nest Of chicory or
curly endive to add to its locey
Valentine appearance.
For dessert, a cake baked in
a large heart-shaped tin or in
small cup cake hearts and topped
with fluffy pink frosting and
coconut would be most attractive.

Many skiers cut down ordinary
trousers at the bottom and sew on q
strap which fastens under the foot
and holds the trousers end inside the
ski boot or woolen sock. High boots
retard the freedom Of action neces-
sary to enjoy good skiing.
"Women's fashions seem to have
provided the ladies with Winter sport
clothes. I saw one girl, however, try
ing to ski In the deep snow Of the
Pennsylvania mountains the other
day with no protection for her ankles.
Her light shoes soon filled with snow
and skiing lost one follower right
there.
I'VE hope to follow the sport this
year well into March by using the ski
train, which runs from Union Station
each Sunday morning to the summit
of the Allegheny Mountains at Glenco,
Pa.
1.-THE slopes there are adapted for
amateurs, as well as experts, and the
snow should remain Tor weeks yet.
The cost of the excursion ticket is
$3.50, although this does not include
meals on the all-day outing.
Upkeep Is Simple.
"As to the upkeep of the equipment,
the ski should be sandpapered and
vanished with several coats when the
under surface gets rough. Some ex-
perts have types of ski wax for almost
every degree of temperature, but the
beginner can forget all this.
"Parafin or parafin mixed with
tar Is o good wax, and will serve the
beginners purpose under almost all
conditions.
And a word about ski poles. While
they are almost indispensable, they are
also very dangerous.
"If carried wrong, they can impale
skier in a fall.
I'm running downhill, carry the
poles behind and not in front.
Always remember that, and think
you will agree with me that skiing
Is one Of the safest Of Winter sports
for young and old!"

BASIN SHAD CATCHES
MAY BE RESTRICTED
Commissioner Bell Finds Waste
and Suggests Action by
Parks Official.

A limit may be placed on the num-
ber of Winter shad which may be
taken from the Tidal Basin If fisher
men catch too greedily.
A recent Inspector Of basin shad
fishing convinced Frank T. Bell, COM
missioner of fisheries, there was too
much waste and he suggested to G.
Marshall Finnan, superintendent Of
National Capital Parks, that individual
catches be limited to IL shad day.
Finnan said he did not contemplate
any limitation at this time, but would
stop the sale of shad around the basin
and instruct park police to discipline
greedineSs by denying fishing priv
ileges for a day to persons disregard
ing the best ethics Of the Izaak Walton
tradition.

That Way.

turn. Another turn Is o short, slid
ing reverse at almost right angles,
bringing the skier virtually to q
standstill in q cloud Of snow. The
inside ski is forward and the weight
is ON the heels, balanced well back. ss
the rear ends Of the skis are forced
around.
THE beginner should use his skis
as much as possible, both down and
up hill. Climb the steep slopes with
a side step and the less abrupt hills
with a 'herringbone' step which ID
difficult to describe, but fairly easy
when you practice. Remember that
the skis make pattern in the snow
which resembles the herringbone
figures In cloth.
Falling Has Its Skill.
when you fall try to distribute
the shock along the entire body, which
should be relaxed as much as possible
and thrown sideways. To stop quickly
the beginner should get his body on
the ground and his skis in the air as
soon as possible.
When you fall and have difficulty
getting back on the skis, try rolling
on your back, with legs IN the air.
You can realign the skis this way
quickly and then roll down hill and
onto your feet again.
Many beginners think that jump
ing is the most important part Of the
sport. In fact, 1t is of relatively little
use to the amateur. and thousands OF
enthusiasts enjoy the thrill of cross
country skiing where few individuals
go in for jumping.
Men need little special clothing for
skiing. A windbreaker, a wool cap and
almost any pair Of trousers which are
warm and of a hard weave will do

y vERE is another of our bird
friends that has named itself.
It's clever way of introducing
L L itself by calling "Pipit, pipit," 4"
gives you a feeling of an old friend
reminding you Of its presence and ex-
pecting a joyous welcome from you.
Only the large open tracts close to
the coast, where there are bogs and
wet fields, delightful places for grub
hunting, appeal to pipits. Sometimes.
In the Fall, you may see several of
them marching over upland pastures
and stubble fields. This little ex-
cursion of theirs seems to please them
very much, for there is always a
flock of them. Let there be the slight
est indication that all is not safe and
they take flight at once.
These sweet-voiced singers are born
where few can follow the mountain
tops and the Subarctic regions being
their birthplace. But the whole
of North America is their range. In
the Winter they come southwark over
the greater part of the United States
and also 60 to Mexico and to the high
lands of Guatemala and to the Ber-
mudas. So you will have little diff
Guilty in seeing the American pipit at
some season of the year.
The nursery is . bulky affair. built
On the ground. 1t is compact and
well rcade Of moss and dried grass
found close by. In 1t are laid four to
six grayish-white eggs. sprinkled or
freckled with cinnamon brown or
