BY HARRIET FRENCH.

THREE different groups of people
were waiting in the Senate re-
ception room for Senator j. Hamilton
Lewis. I heard him being congratu-
lated on all sides for his nomination,
by an overwhelming majority, in the
Illinois primaries the day before.
There he was, this dynamic man,
with his shock of auburn hair and his
famous white waistcoat.
Senator Bob Reynolds came through
the room at that time, and asked
him If he thought the Senator from
Illinois could cook. Senator Reynolds
said he did not know, but that If Sem
ator Lewis did cook, he undoubtedly
cooked very well. as he did everything
well.
When Senator Lewis visitors had
left and he was about to return to the
Senate floor. l asked him if he had
q few minutes to talk with me about
the culinary art. Just then the bell for
adjournment rang. and the Senator
said Yes, lotSofs time" He then
related:
When was boy down in Rear
don, Ga. I used to experiment in all
different ways of cooking fish. I
followed the advice ek everybody.

Of Backyard Colony
Bunny Lives Alone in Stately Grandeur and
Will Probably Become a Real

literally. He whimpered and suueaIed
like a hurt kitten until We could bear
it no longer. We brought him indoors,
and let him sit in box near us, on
the floor. That didn't do either. He
still lamented. Finally I took him out
of the box, and sat him on my lap. He
was quiet, and looked a little less
worried. AS long as 1 stroked his
nose he didn't move, but when I tried
to put him back in the box, he lifted
up his voice again.
After several shifts, gave up, and
let him go to sleep in the crook of my
arm, which he did so soundly that
once he rolled over and almost fell
out. Now and then he would Whimper
littler in his sleep and grit his
teeth-I wonder if he has adenoids?
WHEN the time came to go to bed,
he refused to stay down in the
living room alone, but popped out of
the box after chewing hole in the
corner of it, and followed us upstairs.
Being a weak-minded soul, let that
bunny spend the night on a chair
pulled close to the bed, so that If he
cried I could reach out and stroke
him! And sleep he did, just like
wornout child whose emotional ex-
periences have been too much for its
little nerves.
Five o'clock in the morning brought
bit of trouble though-Mister Skip-it
decided he was hungry, and there was
no peace until I went down to the
kitchen and brought him some carrots
Silence fell again, except for steady
gnawing. as one carrot after another
was disposed of.
Strangely enough. since then Skip-it
has been quite reconciled to Benja-
minis absence, and lords it alone in
the garden. But that first night he
was almost human in his misery and
deSolation. Being the sole pet Of the
household, now, he is. of course, bound
to become spoiled and pampered, but
unless he leads an outstanding career
with experiences worthy of recounting,
I am afraid that the rabbit saga has
about come to an end. Flopsy is re-
siding permanently at the zoo, and
my son writes that he has decided to
leave Mr.. and Mrs. Swiftly in the
country next Winter-all the younger
generation are scattered far and wide.
So it would seem that Mr.. Skip-it
is destined to become a crotchety
old bachelor. leading a dull and lux
urious existence without even having
to shove any one aside to get another
carrot!

Fashion Highlights.

A dress with 900 900 sequins sewed
on it by hand caused great f1utter
of excitement and enthusiasm when
shown at the exhibition of British
fashions which were brought over on
the Queen Mary on her maiden voyage.
1t is said that Queen Mary has chosen
this design to be included in her Sum-
iner wardrobe.
Another outstanding high light OF
the style show vas the gorgeous dis
play of precious jewelry valued at
81 500, 900 loaned by a famous French
jeweler and worn by American manne-
quinS.
Smart tweeds in the best English
manner were shown by the finest Eng
lish houses. 1t was noted that the
skirts of suits and daytime dresses
were shorter than we are wearing them
here. and shoulders were unpadded.
Vivid colors distinguished The suits,
such as a red silk shirt Torn with a
checked tweed of green, prune and
red, with hat and gloves of green. A
brown and black Scotch tweed had
hat and gloves of brown leather and
paisley chiffon shirt. A brown and
gold tweed overcoat was worn with
yellow Scotch angora suit and brown
accessories. Anticipating the next sea-
son, tweed mittens were shown to
match several suits.

Sometimes it was good and sometimes
not so good. If my advisor said fry
the fish, I fried them. II they said
boil them, I was willing. but soon
found whose advice was best to fol-
low.
Nov for catfish chowder as they
make it down in Georgia: The first
thing to do is to get a small catfish.
BY that I mean one about 8 or 10
inches long. Put him in scalding water
so that you can peel of the skin cas-
lily. Roll up your sleeves and fake
him. Have a skillet pretty hot. Put
in a layer of country bacon, Just
enough to keep the pan from burning.
Add a large onion sliced. Then put
in a layer ,of catfish, then a layer Of
tomatoes. Season well and allow 1t
to simmer until done. Corn bread
should be eaten with this chowder,
and thea best way is tc let it soak in
the skillet and eat with the fish chow
der. using a spoon. If you cannot get
a catfish, try the same thing with any
flaky fish"
"Jast now, however" said the Sena-s
tor with a smile, Il am more anxious
to know what the voters are cooking
up for our next election" a,-.f

What the
HO S t e S S
May Wear
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST-The other day
you answered a reader, who had
asked about the type of clothes a
hostess should wear at her own parties
by saying that a hostess should be
less elaborately dressed than her
guests, but her clothes may be more
informal in type. I wish you would
print that advice over again and cor
rect any impression you might have
given to some who are apt to inter-
pret such advice literally. I am just
as furious if a hostess wears anything
less than her prettiest dress as you are
at hostess who serves herself first
before woman guests. To me it is an
insult if she does not dress up the
type Of party she implied by the invi-
tations she sent or gave. Isn't it true
that a hostess clothes lend charm
and distinction to her party? am
sure certain parties will always linger
in your mind and in none of these did
the hostess look other than her best.
Answer: In writing that the hostess
should be less. rather than more. elab-
orately dressed than her guests. GER
tainly did not intend to imply that
she was to be dressed any old way
Nor by informal clothes did I mean
either a garden frock or a neglige.
meant merely that her very best and
newest dress, especially if it be a very
formal one. is usually saved to wear
for the first time at the house of an
other, rather than in her own. Nat
urally she puts on dress suitable to
the occasion and dresses as carefully
and as well as she possibly can. BY
informal" clothes. meant that she
may properly wear what is known as
a hostess dress in her own house
rather than a street costume, and that
in the evening she would choose a
dinner dress rather than a ball dress

as well as French is taught in the

Miss Brainerd, who was entertain
ing Sonora Lucelle. writer and poet
connected with El Diario, leading news
paper Of San Salvador. now on brief
visit to the United States, when in
terviewed, further observed that, while
there is much interest and even en-
thusiasm in Central America concern
ing the announced objectives of the
Pan-American Conference at Buenos
Aires this Summer or Fall, a real i'm
provement in inter-American rela-
tions would not result until Americans
face unpleasant facts and correct some
of them. Among these, she said, is the
widespread charge south of Mexico
that certain large American corpora
tions operating in Central and South
America frequently intervene in local
politics, financing one man or faction
against another, even making" and
"unmaking" governments there, and
thereby insuring lucrative contracts
and concessions from their local polit-
ical friends and proteges.
CENoRA LUCILLE confirmed this
statement, adding that the situa-
ton had led to demands, in the past,
that the American Government inter-
yene to protect the people and their
government from their own politicians
in the pay OF American corporations.
The railroads of FL Salvador, she said.
formerly Britlsh-owned, are now con-
trolled by American capital. While
there is some resentment among the
poorer classes, the anti-American feel
ing has abated somewhat, she declared,
among the educated and the business
men.
From Mexico City" said Miss
Brainerd, 1T is only six or seven hours
flight, over the jungle, to Guatemala
City, and from there only an hour and
half further to Tegucigalpa, Hon
duras. Forty-flve minutes farther lies
San Salvador, on the Caribbean, over
one Of the most spectacular panoramas
Of mountain scenery on earth, with the
Isthmus of Panama stretching away
TO the south, below you, and both the

Greed, unhappily, was Benjamin S
nemesis. Her besetting sin was glut-
tony, and If there was food within
reach Benny left no shred Of it for
Miss Manners" Each meal might
have been the last, so intensely did
she go about the business Of slowing
it away. Finally, nature rebelled, and
Benjamin became very i'll indeed. She
was rushed to the hospital, where a
slim hope was held out for her re-
covery, but next morning the report
came that Benjamin was gone.
The family really mourned. for We
all loved the plump. rainbow colored

DENISE OF BENJAMIN BRINGS RABBIT SAGA TO AN END
Talents of
Royal Ladies
Outstanding
Members of England's
R eigning g Family
Have Many Gifts.

THE Duchess Of Kent, who has q
decided fair for interior decorat-
ing, has lately enjoyed the coveted
opportunity Of exercising her talents
on her own house. The popular young
couple expect to take up residence this
month in the Coppins, the lovely
country home in Buckinghamshire
which the late Princess Victoria willed
to her youngest nephew, Prince George.
Not only is the house being completely
redecorated to suit its new tenants,
but a number Of building alterations
ere being made Chief Of these is the
addition of nursery, with southern
exposure for the baby prince, born last
October.
For some months past the Kents"
have been making weekly trips from
London to see how the workmen are
coming on"l
The Duehesses of Kent and Glouces-
ter are notable additions TO Great
Britain's group of talented royal ladies.
The artistic gift that the former Prin-
is shown to advantage in her water
colors. but. woman-like, she loves doing
up houses. Her honeymoon lasted so
long that she did not nave much share
in the planning of her exquisite Lon
don home, but Queen Mary and the
Princess Royal gave their experienced
supervision to this work.
Queen Mary, of course, Is an expert
needlewoman, and many Of the beauti-
full tapestries that grace the walls Of
Buckingham Palace are the work OF
her hands. When it comes to antiques,
her knowledge is such that she has
been found correct, more than once.
In an argument-a mild and dignifed
argument, we may be sure-about the
date or period of some old piece.
The charming little Duchess Of York,
mother of the PrinceSses Elizabeth
and Margaret Rose, is also an adept
at embroidery. Despite the many calls
on her time, she has, herself. taught
this useful art to her daughters, no
doubt because her own mother taught
her to turn the needle to good account.
Glamis Castle. the highland home in
which the Duchess spent her girlhood.
boasts many chair coverings done by
the daughters of the family, and the
fine mending in the old tapestries IS
also a credit to their skilled fingers.
The Duchess of York's mother, Lady
Strathmore. is one of these splendid
women who believe in having share
in the development of their children.
1t was she who taught her girls to
sew. and when her children were little
she made a point of going with them
to their music lessons so that she
might be able TO superintend their
practice with intelligence. This must
certainly be one of the reasons why
the Duchess of York is so musical, and
little Princess Margaret Rose. VINO
will be in August. has displayed
marked musical ability since she was 2.
Then the Duchess Of Gloucester, the
most recent bride in the royal family,
is an artist of considerable ability and
a real worker She devotes several
hours day to her painting in the little
room that has been set aside in her
home as her own studio. Some Of
ner work was exhibited at the Royal
Amateur Art Exhibition in London last
Spring, and specimens of the Princess
ROYALS needlework were also on dis
play.

Dorothy Dix Says
There Are Only Two Ways to Get Rid
of a Neighborhood Bore

Apparently it never occurs TO them
that they are interfering with the
work of busy people or that anybody
could get tired Of listening to their Oft
told tales or fail to be thrilled with
their small beer chronicles of family
happenings. They are enjoying them
selves listening to the sound of their
own voices and they should worry if
they are driving you to thoughts of
suicide.
DEAR MISS DIX: My husband is
a good man, but what is wreck
ing my marriage for me is his lack
of appreciation. I do everything pos
sible for his comfort and happiness,
spend hours cooking a good dinner
for him, but he never even mentions
that the roast is cooked to T or
that the pie is delicious, and I'd die
before would ask him for a word Of
praise. feel so utterly hopeless and
discouraged that 1 think. what's the
use? Am 1 foolish ard unrea sonable
when all I ask is little appreci-
alton? MRS. w. j.
AnsWer-I think the most dis
couraging factor in the whole rela-
tionship between husbands and wives
is the fact that they know that the
other is pining for a little appreci-
alton, a little jollying, little fiattery
and neither one of them will take the
trouble to give it to the other. Both
know that their dumbness is wreck
ing their marriage and they will let
it 60 on the rocks before they Will
say the word that will save it.
WHETHER this is because OF stu
pidity, of arrogance, of obsti-
macy and contrariness, or Of just pure
cussedness, God alone knows. Its
folly is beyond all human knowledge.
But every day you see men and women
who really love their wives and hus-
bands and who make every other sort
of sacrifice for them stubbornly re-
fusing to give them the thing that
they want more than everything else
on earth.
But If a husband doesn't show his
wife appreciation she is foolish not
to ask for it,and, in the slang OF the
day. demand to know "howm L
doing?" You have to teach husbands
appreciation just as much as you do
children. DOROTHY DIX.

THE clever cutting of this useful
pinafore is shown in the small
diagram beside the little girl You will
see at once that this frock requires
no scanning and, Of course, the feature
which so greatly intrigues children is
the butterfly which forms the pocket.
Notice how simple it is to put on,
merely slipped over the head and tied
at each side. Mothers find it a great
help because it can be used as an apron
over frock, which must be kept clean,
or worn instead of frock. The pam
ties TO match are an asset-they have
the comfortable French yoke top and
stay snug but never bind. This at
tractive design made in cotton, percale,
gingham, calico or lawn would be ef-
fective with contrasting binding and
colorful embroidery on the butterfly
pocket.

Psychology
By DIR. JESSE w. sPROwLs.

Dh. JECDE w. hON A<os
THE individual who has not learned
to drive knows nothing about
the dangers likely to be confronted
at any moment. Traffic seems to
him Just to take care of itself. He
doesn't know that trafic jams and COL
lisions are usually the elimination of
a series Of traflc situations over which
the driver may have no control. He
doesn't know what a moving auto
mobile feels like-that is, he dosent
know from experience what inertia is,
and what momentum means One or
more tons Of moving machinery have
meaning all their own. And that
meaning changes from what it is to
something else, the moment you in
crease or decrease the speed of the
car. And then there is the mat
ter Of road topography, which has
no significance whatever TO the mex
perienced driver.

incorporated in the nervous system
you are an experienced driver. Then
you tend to drive even when you are
in the back seat as a passenger Your
whole system of habits is put into
play the moment the car begins to
move. You are continually thinking
about how you would do it, From a
habit point of view. you are at the
wheel.
The fellow at the wheel has every
reason to complain when you begin
TO offer suggestions The driver feels
powerful whether or not he will admit
1t, whether or not he even consciously
thinks about 1t. For the time being,
his ego is at work and he resents any
nieddling with his own sense Of self.
