Reception

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
my mother and father will be
married so years next month and
l would like to have a few SuggeS,
tiOns in regard to lunch for the
family and a reception for friends.
What hour would you suggest
for the reception for friends?
Should invitations be sent?

sive, but we do want to make it a
pleasant day for our loved parents.
DAUGHTER"
The simplest type of celebration
for this occasion, and one of the
most charming, and one Of the
least expensive, is the afternoon
gathering, at tea hours, 4 to Z,
l suggest this for your party.
You might ask the relatives and
close friends by telephone. and
write notes of invitation to others.
For your menu for the four-to'
seven party you need have only
food accessories that are custom.
arily served at tea time: tea, with
coffee as an alternative; simple
sandwiches of various kinds; and
small cakes, perhaps some frosted.
I suggest serving from the tea-table.
inviting one friend to preside over
the tea service at one end of the
table, and another friend to pre-
side over the coffee service at the
opposite end. Have all the acces-
series ready before these places.
Then have piles of plates
with small napkins between every
two plates And serving dishes
with the sandwiches and cakes.
It would be charming if you
could have wedding cake for the
center decoration of this table. If
you wish to have ice cream as des-
sert you might cut the wedding
cake and serve slices of this with
the ice cream. Or this might be
the dessert for the family luncheon
party
You don't give me much infor-
nation to go on for the luncheon
menu. as to number OF guests ana
so forth. But for the first course
you might have soup. served in
bouillon cups, or slices of melon,
or a fruit cocktail, or shrimp
cocktail. For the main course it
might be most convenient to have
a casserole, a chicken casserole.
for instance, for this could be pre-
pared early in the day. Or broiled
chicken or lamb chops, or roast
chicken. Mashed sweet potatoes
with marshmalloWs on top. which
has a gala appearance. Peas or
some other green vegetable. Hot
rolls. Then as suggested above.
the dessert might be ice cream
and slices of the wedding cake. Or
any other dessert for which you
are famous!

It was said that Dolly Madison,
the wife of the fourth President,
was the first to serve her guests
tempting frozen desserts. That was
between 1907 and 1917. This deli
cacy when served by the then First
Lady Of the Land quickly became
popular.
The ice creams made in those
days were stirred ice creams
frozen with cracked ice and salt.
In some ways this method is still
without peer. The constant stir
ring makes the cream light and
smooth.
Several new electric ice cream
freezerS have been recently intro
duced on the market for making
without effort ice cream of this
type. One such piece of equip
ment has been described before
in this column. 1t comes shaped
as cocktail shaker and fits into
the refrigerator tray.
If ice is to be purchased for
the freezing, about Is pounds of
finely crushed ice is adequate for
three-quart freezer. Rock salt
is needed in the proportions of
one part of salt to eight parts of
ice by measure.
Before starting the freezing
process scald the ice cream con-
tainer. paddle, and lid. Attach
and test before pouring in the
ice cream mix. If in good work
ing order, then add the ice
cream mix, filling it not more
than three-fourths full, to allow
for expansion. Pack in ice and

New York, we hear, has gone
mad over these Mexican sandals.
And it took quite a while to find

is that the Mexicans aren't very

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Not long ago I read a let
ter in your column signed
Harry and he wanted to
know where all the nice girls
were keeping themselves. May
I venture to ask him where he
and the type he represents
keep themselves?
81 never seem to meet any of
them, and they're the kind I'd like
to meet. So here am /, a girl who
believes in ideals and standards,
and there's Harry who believes in
the same thing. "Yet, never the
twain shall meet" as the poet has
reminded us. It's too bad, isn't
it, Miss Fairfax?
LONELY GIRL"
Dear Lonely Girl:
Yet, it is too bad, not to meet
the type of man who would give
you genuine companionShip, but
have you really tried to meet him?
The other evening I happened
to drop in on young girl Of my
acquaintance, and found with her
five or six charming girls, all be
moaning the fact they never met
any worthwhile men in Washing
ton. Now, instead Of going into
that kind of desolation huddle
why don't these girls see what is
open to them in the way OF social
activities?
There are very good dancing
classes in Washington, where
they're likely to make congenlal
acquaintance. Nearly every
church in the city has some sort
of social activity, and there are
innumerable clubs.
But the trouble with these girls
is they'll go to a club once, and
If Prince Charming isn't there
waiting. they become disguised
and decline to go a second time
And they don't bother to know
other girls. Even the homeliest Of
girls may have an attractive
brother, cousin or uncle not toe
old.
Nothing in life is handed to US
on a silver platter. Exercise the
same care in making friends thai
you do in picking out a becoming
hat.

1t is only necessary to extend
the interest in perfecting your
steps to the study of the muscles
that are affected by the various
movements and arabesqueS. After
that, keeping fit is a pleasure,
grace is enhanced and beauty is
cherished.
Ruby Keller, famous dancer Of
stage and screen, was born in far
away Halifax, Nova Scotia, on
August IS, 1909.
She was born on her toes, so
they say, and found dancing and
walking, two major accomplish
mentS, come hand in hand with
little effort on her part. When
she was three years old, the family
moved to New York city. There
she easily excelled all the tiny
schoolmates in the first drills" OF
the youngest And to such a
marked degree that she was soon
placed in the Professional Chill.
dren's School, where Lillian Roth.
Marguerite Churchill, William jan
ney and Gene Raymond were en-
rolled, all destined to win fame
in like profession.
Stage Career
She began her stage career at
the tender age of 10, and in the
chorus Of the Rise of Rosy
O'Reilly." Her education was now
superintended by a tutor in COM
pliance with the State laws. A
series of engagements with other
successful musical shows followed,
and then she was discovered by the
late Texa Guinan, then queen OF
the prohibition night clubs.
When she made her appearance
with the famous group OF show
girls at Guinan's Ely Fey Club she
came to the attention of the great
Ziegfeld, who signed her as chief
tap-dancer for his musical comedy,
"Whoopee". This was in 1928,
and, as the gates of fame opened
to her, along came romance.
She met AL Jolson and, in spite
of dissenting friends and the fact
that he was Jewish and she was
Irish and Catholic, they were mar
ried by a justice of the peace.
Their marriage has proved highly
successful partnership. Ziegfeld
starred her in SHOW Girl" after
this, so her career was not wrecked
at the altar, as many feared.
She is 5 feet inches and weighs
but los pounds. A typical Irish
beauty with wide blue eyes and
HOMEGROWN hair. She has win
some smile and a wistful manner,
both fresh and ingenious as the
morning dew. and neither spot
lights nor DINNERS could ever
tamper with their true quality.
Daily Practice
Ruby says she has never col
lected beauty secrets. yet every
DAY she practices her beloved
dance steps, one of the truest short
cuts to beauty yet discovered.
She is always out Of doors when
possible. riding horseback or play
ing golf. Her favorite sport is
deep-sea fishing with Al, who is a
devotee of this pastime. With him
too. she watches prize fights, ice
hockey and all races within their
possible radii.
She says she believes in beauty
sleep, and gets all she can. And
for basic beauty principles, she
says she uses soap and water
plenty of it. for her fair skin.
She dresses modestly. wearing
decidedly youthful clothes. She is
fond of color more than of de,
sign in materials and never
chooses the bizarre or flashy
models.

Good gardeners know that they
must have gloves that will allow
plenty of freedom to do good
job on their flowers and shrubs,
but they must have protection for
their hands, too. The answer to
the problem is new all-leather
glove that is especially designed
for garden and general home use.
They are soft as kid and easy to
wear, dirt proof and durable. They
are made from imported leather,
specially processed TO render them
amazingly soft and pliable, and
they permit almost barehanded
freedom with maximum comfort,
yet being all-leather, they provide
complete protection from dirt,
scratching, scuffing and stains.
They are economical, too, for,
though they are but 75c a pair,
they will outwear six pairs of Or
linary fabric gloves. They can be
washed repeatedly. They come in
small, medium and large sizes.
