Tips on the Food Market
BY LUCIE EBERLY.

were at Christmas time-the cold
weather makes the meat better. you
know. They are so reasonable-really
costing no more than an ordinary roast
of meat. Capons are fine Just now,
as are Long Island ducks. One of the
merchants, we learned, is going to
feature gizzards, by the way, for 20
cents a pound! He will also have
chicken liver. Stewing lamb is the
best buy at the butcher stall. Beef
and veal stay about the same in price,
though some Of the stores are featur-
ing frozen meat-beef-at very low
prices. Plate corn beef at the mar
ket is being sold at several stalls for
Is cents pound!
OYSTERS are scarce. Lobster and
~ chicken lobster are plentiful,
though. Fresh salmon and brook
trout for the dinner party are avail
able. Frozen halibut and salmon are
being received in generous lots and
appear to be the weeks best buy in
steak fish. Spanish mackerel from
Florida is excellent. Bluefish, sea bass,
shad and porgies complete the seafood
list.
X u
FRESH hennery eggs remain at the
ridiculous price of 10 cents dozen.
We say ridiculous, because heretofore
they have been so and IS cents at this
time of year, and the least snow furry
generally sent the price even higher.
This year-one of the most severe
Winters we have ever had-they are
cheap and, strange to say, PLENTIFUL

lost a dear one and spend the re-
mainder of their lives sobbing in the
cemeteries, or who are so busy griev-
ing over the money they lost in the
bank failures in '33 that they never
have time to go to work and make
any more money. They will laugh
of troubles that would crush the
pessimistic. And because we all seek
cheerful companionship as instructive
ly as we do sunshine. they will never
lack for love or friends.
Consider also what it means to
child to have courage inculoated
into it from its very infancy. No
blessing that heaven can bestow upon
q youngster can equal that Of having
had mother who bred strength into
it instead Of weakness, who taught
1t from the very time it could under
stand anything at all to stand up
and fight, instead of lying down and
quitting when 1t encountered any Of
the bogies along its pathway.
MOST of the failures in life are due
A~ to lack Of backbone and not %
lack Of ability. Men and women go
into some occupation for which they
have plenty Of talent, but when they
don't achieve a spectacular success in
a few months, and when they find out
that 1t will take them years and years
Of hard, monotonous climbing, an inch
at a time, to reach the top Of the
ladder, they give it up and change to
something else. ALI of us know dozens
Of people who have spent their lives
running from one job to another,
always looking for easy work and big
pay, and who have failed at everything
because they did not have the grit to
stand the gaff when what they were
attempting to do ceased to be play
and became the grind Of hard daily
labor.
"Be brave! Smile!" Teach children
that, and you have given them a staff
to lean on as long as they live.

Dorothy Dix Says
Every Mother Should Bring Up Children
to Grin and Bear Hard Knocks.

r KNOW young mother whose con-
slant admonition of her children
is: BE brave. Smile" If a little
Il toddler falls and bumps his nose,
she doesn't run and pick him up and
blame the naughty old floor for hurt
ing mamma's precious boy. Instead
she calls out cheerily: BE brave!
Smile!" And the little one swallows
his tears and gets up grinning.
Is Sally fearful because bad cold
and bad weather keep her from doing
something she has set her heart on?
Mother cuts short the cor plaint with:
BE brave! Don't whine! Smile!"
And Sally gathers her little soul up to
meet the challenge. Is Mary discon-
tented because she can't have the fine
clothes richer children have, and
Tommy disgruntled because he has
chores to do while other boys are play
ing? Mothers slogan, BE brave!
Smile!" rings out like trumpet call
across the dark welter of their little
worlds and puts fresh courage into
them.
You do not need to be told that
mother is not only teaching her chill
dren what Stevenson called 'the brave
attitude toward life" but she Is also
putting on the top Of the burden that
every human being must Lear on ms
back through life the little flower, as
in the fairy story, that make his load
light and that carries him triumph
antly through every vicissitude OF
fortune. For the thing that darkens
the world for most of us Is our self
pity, and the cause of most OF our
failures Is lack Of grit. Plain cow
ardice. If these can be eliminated in
our childhood, If we can be taught to
take it on the chin and come up smil-
ing, we have had the key to both
happiness and success put into our
hands.
r IFE Is not all beer and skittles
- for any of us. Taking it by and
large. all OF us get about the same
number of bumps, we have about the
same amount of disappointments, we
have the same feartaches, the same
blasted hopes, and If Old Man Trou-
BILE doesn't get us in one way he does
in another. No one Is immune from
the common fate and 1t Is how we
take 1t that leaves US either a tear
Jug or q big laugh.
Consider, then, the luck OF those
children who have had the smile that
WON'T come of nailed on their faces
while they were still in the cradle.
They will get their hard knocks like
the balance of us, but they will never
he winners and complainers. They
will never be sour misanthropes. They
will never exaggerate their hardships
bv dwelling upon them and thinking
how terrible it is that they should
have to work and worry and make
sacrifices and not have everything
they want handed to them on silver
salver.

rectangle worn horizontally from
shoulder to shoulder, which forms
sort Of epaulet. with an elongated
section to admit a row of buttons
that close the blouse. Notice the
"cute" little round collar which ac-
centuates the novelty Of the yoke.
The three quarter sleeves are full
and roomy, due to the lower set-in

front and back giving that extra
flare and graceful drape. Silk al

A Growing City

Washington increase of twenty two per cent in popu
lation from 1880 to 1885 is no ash in the pam even
though it may largely be attributable to the growth OF
centralized government.
The estimates made public by the Bureau Of the
Census which show that this city increased its number
of residents from 486869 in 1880 to in 1885 give
the District credit for larger population growth than
any State
THE ESTIMATES AS TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
ARE ENCOURAGING BUT THEY ARE SCARCELY
NEEDED TO CONFIRM THE FAITH OF OUR RESI-
DENTS IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY.
The figures simply bear out other indications of
the urOIUth of the cty such as bank CLeGrngs bank
deDOsits tremendous GctiUity in the real estate mar
ket, and greatly increased retail trade figures.
This increase in population cannot be regarded as
transitory although amounted to than 100000
in few years
It is known fact that the charm of Washington
makes those who have once established their residences
here remain in the city.
It will be with the thousands who have here
to take Government positions in the last few years.
They will find that Washington has 'got into their
blood and will stay here indefinitely.
And they will be lucky that it is so.
NO OTHER CITY IN THE COUNTRY OFFERS TO
ITS RESIDENTS QUITE THE ADVANTAGES WHICH
ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The material advantages of living in a community
Nth the stability Of this cty-G stability Which
UithstOOd the shock of the recent national de-
pressiOn-nre Dubious. ...
There are however in addition intangible advantages
accruing to Washington residence which just i'm
porant and which great lure to bring outsiders
into our community.
These intangbles apparent to all who have lived
here for any length of time
They grow with the years and develop as the history
and growth of the Nation itself unfolds
This city is bound for its first million of population
It will reach that goal and will pass it.

INAUGURAL PLANS

Conventions of the two political

Despite the fact that these i'm

there are plans for the inaugura-

Whether the next Chief Execu-
tive be Mr.. Roosevelt or some other

Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

A WOMAN IS HERSELF, AND
NOBODY ELSE BUT.
Each woman is as individual
as was Eve when God first took
Adams rib-and, ! suspect, the
snapper portions Of his backbone
and made the first miSSuS.
Each woman and every woman
is a world unto herself and a law
unto herself. And because she Is
a world unto herself and a law
unto herself, the outer conSidera
lions of caution and compromise
which so influence men, never
touch her.
They may seem to touch her
A woman may seem to be q timlo
and conventional person. She may
squeal at mice and fuss because
she hasn't an Easter bonnet like
her neighbor. But strip her Of
these artificial vaporS and put hel
to the teSt-and you will find her
primitive as any tigreSs and as
ruthless and brave.
Women do not think as men
think. Many-perhapS the vast
majority of Women-never think
at all. They perceive and manipu-
late life through their emotions
They feel rather than think,
Which maybe you consider
handicap. But don't kid yourself
A Thinker may own all the
medals in the Hall of Fame, but
in practical performance an
Emoter car make him take the
count before the first gong.
WOMAN'S INSTINCT
Women DO not bother to reason
Women leap directly-as a tigreSs
leaps-and t'hell, John Henry
with your philosophical argu
ments! That leap is what we cal
woman instinct" But there is nc
such thing as woman instinct"
There is only a primitive, female
animal launching herself, with SUI
perb disregard for all obstacles, al
the thing she wantS-AND GET
TING TT!
And yet it isn't such a bad ar
rangement after all. The world
needs male thinkers. But I suS
pect they would still be sitting In
huddleS, scratching their dandruff
if it were not for the female
leapers.
P. S.-Mind you, I don't for one
second think that any Of these
snippety remarks apply to Elsie.
Me? I'm different.

gladly abandons oneself. The
Steen was originally part of the
castle of Antwerp and is now a
museum.
AS befitting the home of Rubens,
the art museum is one of the finest
in Europe. But Rubens' greatest
