Ever since Emory Daugherty
and La Paree conducted their very
successful amateur show last fall,
many persons have asked --cn
he was going to hold another.

Regardless of the bad weather
Washington has been having in
the past week or so, Maryland
Club Gardens is presenting one
of the best floor shows seen there
all winter. Terry and Walker,
well-known comedy team, headline
the show, with Lucille Wray, mod
erniStic dancer, pushing close on
their heels. Ray Beck, tenor, and
Fran Trappe, accordionist, occupy
their usual important position,
while good old Jimmy Harris and
his band supply the music. It Is
worth the drive Of a few short
miles Just to sit in front Of that
Crystal Bar, which is nationally
known.

Pleasing The Man
By CHLOE JAMESON

He may eat patiently of plain foods with little or no seasoning, but the average man has a distinct flair for piquant foods. He likes the bite of 8 bit of cheese in baked dishes; the flavor of a little onion in cream sauce; the speck of bay leaf in gravies; the pinch of sweet marjoram and thyme in certain meat soups. ~A
 He likes, too, little surprise sup pers after the trip to the movies or a long drive in the brisk fall air provided there is something snappy by way of refreshment.
 Try this one for his special bene- f1t-and you, too, vii lenjoy it. the first time you have an oppor- tunity:
 Cheesed Sardines
 Make six slices of fresh buttered toast, and cut in half lengthwise. On each strip lay large sardine which has been boned and skinned. Sprinkle onion juice over the fish, cover with grated cheese and add seasonings of cayenne and paprika. Bake in a hot oven until the cheese mletS and is light golden brown. Serve at once, garnished with le- mon slices.
 Sardines added to scrambled eggs and served on hot buttered toast make another easy and econom- ical supper dish, with piquant flavor. This with garnish of red pepper hash or mixed pickle and cup of delicious coffee will send any man to bed well pleased with the world and his wife.
