phies, heads of mooSe-bull moose,
undoubtedly-deer and bison, are
victories of T. RS shooting days.
This summer, while new steel
Orders were being put in, the tro-
phies, covered by several sheets,
reposed on the floor in a corner.
Before they were put in place
they were tenderly sprayed with
antimoth solution. Nothing must
happen to their furry heads.
The portraits of Col. Clarence
Moore and of DR.. Francis Loring,
in pink hunting suits, again gaze
down on the people in the ball
room. Probably casting critical
eyes on the new members.
The out-of-doorS balcony dining
room is crowded on dance nights
with newly returned vacationists.
I saw there Mrs. Arthur Mac
Arthur, radiant after visit to her

Chester Wells was dining there
during a weekend away from her
farm in Wyoloosing, Pa. Captain
Wells had come to town for a
Boy Scout Conclave and bank
directors meeting.
Everyone was making pretty

Sir Ronald Lindsay, being a
good BritiSher as all diplomatic
representatives Of King Edward
VIII are wont to be, sometimes
forsakes his traditional Scotch
and soda for an American mint
julep.
Two Canadian friends we're call
ing at the embassy this summer
The day was hot. Sir Ronald said
he had learned to make South,
ern drink that would be most re,
freshing. If his friends would
excuse him for a moment, he
would return shortly with the
surprise.
He didn't return shortly. He
was gone a long. long time.
At last, when the callers were
wondering if something dreadful
had happened to his Britannia
Majesty'S Washington representa-
tive procession entered the draw
ing room. A footman reverently
bore q large tray on which were
tall white glasses with pieces OF
foliage sticking therefrom.
Beside the tray and the footman
walked the magnificent Sir Ronald,
smiling proudly.
$50 sorry to have kept you
waiting" he said. But this
drink is a mint julep. Well
made it is a work of art. The
crushing of the mint and the
frOsting of the glass are very
special tricks. / do hope you
like it"
The guests did, awfully! They
had Sir Ronald write the recipe.
A. Felix du Pont has invented
what he calls a "short mint
julep." He also prepares the
drink himself.
Here's how. He brushes mint
leaves. Puts them into cocktail
shaker. Adds a dash of sugar
Several dashes of rye and lot of
cracked ice. Then shakes long
and violently. While pouring out
the delicious drinks he forgets the
difficulties of being a rich man,

Continuing on the subject of
drink, there are also food and this
nice letter to be considered.
DEAR HELEN ESSARY:
Thanks so much for publishing
last week that delicious recipe for
spaghetti. Evidently Mayor La
Guardia knows what is good to
eat and Judge Luhring was very
bind to pass it on once he had
got it from the mayor. Please
thank the judge for me. I do love
italian spaghetti, and I'm going
right away to the grocery store
to buy all the ingredients you
mentioned and cook them for my
supper. I always read your col
