Girl Politician
At 4 Years
JULEPT TRICKS
By HELEN ESSARY

Landon, Of Kansas, has developed
O political technique of her own,
It has been discovered by a
comparison of notes that the
brown-eyed little girl who has
been photographed several hum
dred times lately, has been telling
each cameraman confidentally:
II don't like photographers
but like you"
Seated in the garden Of the
Laurel home of former Assistant
Attorney General and Mrs. Will
liam Stanley the other night I
found myself discussing with
David Mcintosh, Maryland State
Senator, the making of mint
juleps.
Between sips from tall frosted
glasses, fragrant with mint and
rye, discovered the proper Mary.
land recipe for julep.
Take one lump Of sugar.. a
drop or two of water-enough to
melt the Sugar-two or three
leaves of crushed mint and stir
about in the glass for while.
Then add a big jigger Of
whiSkey. over that pack down
crushed, very dry ice until the
glass is full. Put sprig of mint
in the top.
The secret of a good julep Mr..
Mcintosh says, is the use OF
very dry ice.
The ice should be wrapped in a
heavy cloth, crushed with mallet
into fine bits. Every drop Of melted
ice should be absorbed by the
cloth. The crushed ice should then
be packed down very hard in the
glass.
The julep should be drunk
through the ice. Never, never pour
whisky over the top of the ice.
Mr.. Mcintosh has another
famous summer drink - a rum
cooler. Many MarylanderS regard
it as more pleasing than mint
julep. :,
In the rum cooler the ice is used
as in a julep. To begin the mixing
put the juice of a lime and the
lime itself in the bottom OF a
glass. Add Jumps of sugar to suit
the taste and a big jigger OF
Bacardi rum and the dry ice.
Rum, so the experts say, is not
as heating as whisky. So try the
cooler the next time the ther-
mometer goes haywire.
I heard a beautiful story during
the course of the delightful eve
ing at Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley'S.
Former Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Harold M. Stephens, now
Judge of the United States Court
of Appeals, told me about an an
cestor of Mr.. Stanley'S, the Rev.
Harvey Stanley.
The Reverend Mr.. Stanley was
an eloquent preacher. He also be"
lieved that right should be pro
tected by might.
An Objectionable fellow in his
town was in the habit OF saying
outrageous things to the clergy
man, He felt sure that the Rev.
erend Mr.. Stanley, being OF the
cloth, would not give him the beat
ing he deserved.
But one day the villain stopped
Mr.. Stanley with more offensive
remarks than usual.
The clergyman thoroughly in
dignant, hesitated for moment.
Looked the man firmly in the eye.
Stepped to one side of the road,
took off his collar and coat and
thus addressed these clerical gar
mentS:
"Lie down Divinity while 1
thrash rascality!"
From Montpelier Manor, the old
estate of former Ambassador to
Italy and Mrs. Breckenridge Long,
not far from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley, has come large part
of the collection now on view at
the Baltimore Museum of Art.
The collection consists largely
of early American portraits, minia-
lures, furniture and silver.
Among the important paintings
Is a portrait of Samuel Miller by
Thomas Sully, another of Mrs. Mil
Ter by John Jarvis, and a typical
profile portrait drawing of man
by st. Mimin. A small portrait of
Tobias Lehr who was secretary
to George washington, by Joseph
Wood and a sketch of Andrew
jackson by Thomas Sully are his
torically interesting.
Two other much-admired COM
positions are an oil by John Trum-
bull illustrating the Trial Of Ma
jor Andre and water color of
1.-THE Triumphal Entry of Wash
ington into Boston on March 20,
1776," by an unknown artist.
The exhibit of a silver owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. Long is the work of
famous silversmiths of the Eight
zenith century. 1t has been in
