softened butter and put together
with sWeetened Strawberries. Be
liberal in the use of the fresh ber-
ries. Serve with either whipped
cream or with the thin coffee
cream.
Here is a recipe that is very SIM
pie to prepare. For the shortening
use half butter and half lard or
commercial shortening.
Strawberry ShOrtcake
1/3 cup of shortening
"a cup of milk less tablespoons
3 teaspoons of sugar
"a teaspoon of salt
8 teaspoons of baking powder
2 cups of flour
Sift the flour, sugar, baking
powder and salt. Measure the
shortening. Work the shortening
into the flour with the tines of a
fork. Then, when the shortening
is in the size of rice grains, add
the milk gradually. Use only
enough milk to make a soft dough.
Press the dough lightly with
fingers, then place on a Toured
board and roll lightly. Be careful
that you never flatten the dough
out too much or mix it too we'll.
The dough should be well blended,
but too much mixing and too
rough handling will make ii
hard. For one large Shortcake cut
the dough into two large layers
For individual Shortcakes cut them
with biscuit cutter.
Place the layer in the CREASED
pan, dot with butter, cover with
the other layer, and bake for Is
minutes in an oven set at 400 de
grees.
Always wait until just before
serving time to combine the short
cake and berries, as otherwise the
juice of the berries will soak into
the crust, making it soggy. In
serving, cut the shortcake in pie
shaped pieces.
A cookie sheet may be used in
baking the shortcakes if your pie
pans are too small. The individ
ual shortcakeS are put together in
two layers with butter and baked
in exactly the same style as the
large shortcake.

Hollywood says there are only
10 ways in which girl meets boy,
and one Of them is the result OF
accident. Here's an authentic case.
It happened at a skating rink in
Boston, city of Puritanical descent.
Love at first sight! Nothing
damaged but hearts-which ap-
pear to have been exchanged by
the collision.
REAL ROMANCE
Geraldine Helen Jordan, aged
IA, and Joe Murphy, aged 20, were
the heroine and hero of the
skating-rink romance. After being
catapulted into love at the rink,
there were a number of rapturous
meetings in movie theaters.
They sat holding hands through
three and sometimes four shows,
never looking at the make-believe
love on the stage, because they
didn't need to watch make-believe
love. Theirs was the real thing.
And so they eloped to New
Hampshire's Greta Green, Sea-
brook, about month ago and
were married. Helen said she was
ID. Joe gave the bride ring from
the IS and TO-" but Helen said
she thought more of the glass and
brass symbol of their union than
If it had been platinum and dia-
mondS.
There was no honeymoon. Each
lived at the parental home and con-
tinued to patronize the movies, and
never look at the picture.
One night, after they had sat
through four showings of a
thriller, and then fingered to say
goodnight on a park bench, Helen'S
mother called the police and asked
them to look for her daughter.
SCENE AT HOME
When the mother discovered
Helen had not been run down by
an automobile, she reacted as
mothers do, and there was what
might be called scene"
Mrs. Jordan didn't want her
pretty daughter added to the col
lection of child brides that is
making this country sit up and
ask: Are we living in the United
States or India? So she had the
groom locked up on a charge Of
abduction, and Helen put in an
other cell on a charge OF STUB
bornneSs."
When interviewed, Helen said:
II love Joe and he loves me. We
are married just like anybody else,
and we are going to stay married.
If they lock us up, well wait till
we're free again, and then we'll be
together"
ANOTHER VIEW
The groom's parents will not
interfere, said the boys mother:
my boy loves that girl and
loves her dearly. Nobody can talk
them out of that, and I'm not 60
ing to make trouble for my SON"
The governor of Massachusetts
announced he would investigate
the marriage at Seabrook, which
bore the signature of Justice David
c. Chase.
And the registrar of births, mar
riages and deaths, Mrs. Hilda
Quirk, said:
"Now that these two children
have actually been married, they
should be given parental blessing
and be let alone"
Again, Hollywood is right-love

is Just about standing still.
Especially in furniture Of fine
woods such as mahogany, is the de-

and other classic periods. But there

The Washington times., 1937-05-03

We all know that mahogany
has been a leader among cabinet
woods since the early Eighteenth
Century. It was first used in ship
building, as it would absorb the
shock of cannon balls without
splintering, and so it was valuable
in any type of warfare. 1t had
such beauty and strength that 1t
was soon put into household use
too, and was a favorite with the
great master craftsmen OF the
Eighteenth Century, the golden
age" of furniture design.
Old Finishes Named
The finishes were not always
beautiful, however. In the early
DAYS there were two wellknown
colors, which you are no DOUBT
familiar with. Mahogany, in its
raw state is a rather light, pale
pinkish wood, and some pieces
were not stained at all, but grad
ually took on a deeper tone with
age, which is sometimes COM
pared with a rich sherry color.
The resulting colors were called
"old world" colors. When it was
stained it was either colonial
red" with which we are all famil-
lar, or what is often called piano
black" because pianos were often
stained that tone. During the
Nineteenth Century, nearly all ma
hogany was stained, either the
black tone of colonial red, so that
the rich sherry color, much more
natural, was dropped out almost
entirely.
New Finishes Lighter
Now the modern manufacturers
are using mahogany again, ana
in many new finishes, as well as
in the two more beautiful old
colors, colonial red and the nat
ural sherry tones or "old world"
colors. There has been a vogue
for lighter colored woods for sew
eral years, and in experimenting
with mahogany, scientists discov-
cred that it could be bleached,
and would be just as lovely as
when in it's natural color-with
all the grain showing, and all the
fine satiny texture there.
So now we have blond ma
hogany, which is merely bleached
wood, and we have various deeper
tones, called picked mahogany, ,"
which means that color has been
added after the bleaching, to give
various deeper tones. These col
ors were brought out mainly Tor
modern pieces, but have been used
for those of traditional styling
as well.
Mixture of Tones
It's interesting to note that
smart decorators are mixing their
various mahogany colors in the
same room. They will have an
Eighteenth Century room in CO
Ionial red or sherry mahogany and
will put in a piece or so Of blonde
mahogany, just for contrast. 1t
seems to set off the whole to good
advantage. There are many nice
occasional pieces available in the
lighter finishes, and they are a
nice relief in a too-dark room. One
of the downtown stores is showing
a room with a blending Of the two,
and it is quite attractive.
In spite of the great vogue for
modern furniture, it seems that
it has not increased since last year

Etiquette

BY Mrs. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Now that the season of cOrn-On-
the-COb is, happily, almost with us,
what is the really correct way of
eating this grand vegetable?
"How are artichOkes eaten?
"K,"
Right you are about this grand"
vegetable! The best form of serv-
ing corn on-the-cob is to serve the
ears broken. If this is not done,
we break the ear in two, using the
napkin to protect our hands.
We season about two rows of
kernels, and eat this seasoned por-
ton before we season the next
space" We shouldn't use both
hands to hold the ear of corn as
we are eating it. And we shouldn't
bend over the ear, avariciously.
We shouldn't cut the kernels
from the cob at the table, and
we shouldn't pick them off with
the fork. Many hosteSseS now
adays, and most wisely, make
corn-on- the-cob a separate course,
an example of the increasingly
popular one-vegetable course.
And with this course, as with
the artichoke course, finger bowls
are (most acceptably) served.
The leaves of the artichoke are
picked off one at time with the
fingers. The soft ends are dipped
into the sauce and eaten. The re-
mainder of the leaf is placed at
the side of the plate.
When we reach the heart" Of
the artichoke, we eat it with the
fork. Correctly, the soft, prickly
choke" should be removed be-
fore the artichoke is brought to
the table. If this isn't done, we
should carefully remove it.

Beauty
Arranging the
Hair
BY DONNA GRACE

One of the little important
things about hairstyling that
many of us ignore is the finding
of the natural part. The hair Of
every adult has some peculiaritieS
of it's own, and one of these is
tendency to part in a certain way
or at certain place on the head.
Some have section where two
parts grow into one, and the re-
suit is what is commonly called
a cowlick, and there are points.
scallopS and even bare spots in
the hairline which are all to be
dealt with according to the natural
tendencies of the individual type.
When there are no really bad
features that may have to be sub
dued by the arrangement of the
hair, the natural part will be the
most becoming.
The way to find the natural
part, provided it is not always
noticeable, is to comb the hair
straight back from the face, and
it will separate along the line Of
the part. This can be done with
|
when the hair is little damp.
When the hat is worn down
over the right side of the face,
you will not part the hair on the
left or exposed side. The effect
is awkward and not pleasing. The
left or exposed side of the head
will then be dressed in waves or
curlS with the greater amount of
the hair on that side. The side
covered by the hat or the right
side is called the thin side by the
hair styliStS, and while it is dressed
in almost the same way as the
left side, it will be in fewer waves
and curls because Of the lower
part.
There are some exceptions in
adhering to the natural part, and
they are usually when the part
seems to fall in the center. The
center part is becoming to only a
few, and if one is not the type for
it, then the natural part should
be changed to a side part or a
straight back style.
When the face is very full the
hair may be brought forward to-
ward the face in waves or curlS
to give it a more slender effect.
A wide, high forehead can be re-
lieved by either bangs or ringletS
over the temples.
The best way to train the hair
is by consistent brushing. Even
the natural part may be changed
with enough careful brushing. A
thin wave lotion will help to keep
it in the right place.
Bette j. S.-You can train your
self into a good habit just as well
as bad one. Biting the nails is a
bad habit, and since you say you
do stop sometimes and let your
nails grow out, it means you can
easily train yourself to avoid this
nervousness.
The best cure is to concentrate
on nail grooming. We know some
girls who go to manicuriSt every

tissues at the sides smooth and

GIRL SPEAKS FIRST
