Una Merkel Must
Do Herself Over
Comcdicnne Must Add
Quantities Of Glamor
for Her New Roles
BY UNA MERkEL

Written for the United Press
HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 2.-(U.P)--Once
again l have TO Go myself over
After working years to be funny
1t now seems that l am to be
glamorous. 1t is really terribly
exciting although this character
transformation business is no
novelty.
Audiences may think l was
born somewhat like the Comed-
ienne they see on the screen. But
it isn't so. 1 always loved fun
in others but I'm not funny at
home-nor do think l ever was.
AS a child I was Straight-laced
and serious. Always scrubbed a
bright pink 1 trotted about the
house and rarely went out to play.
Today some Of my methodlCal
prissineSS clingS to me. Things
are very serious to me and my in
feriority complex is such that /
sutdy my lines doubly hard, know
ing I could not bear to make a
mistake in front Of others.
Of all things for anyone to
take up, acting was the most
revolutionary for me. And in the
beginning. I never dared hope for
career. 1 had a hope Of some
day teaching dramatics. At first,
when l actually got started, it
seemed that I should do very SER
ious things such as Lillian Gish
would play. Soon it was evident
that this voice Of mine and ser
ious roles simply would not mix.
Instead of dramatic, they thought
me funny.
Naturally, 1 could never be a
Dietrich or a Garbo as far as the
! glamour goes. 1t wouldn't be any
fun, and I couldn't be if 1 tried.
But seriously, this one try at
what I have waited for a long
time. I'm willing to return to
my former wise-cracking screen
self.
Becoming a new woman" even
if it is to be temporary, is an eX-
pertinent I am only too happy to
try.

8 heaping tablespoons grated fresh
cheese.
Make cream sauce. add the cheese
Let it melt. When cooled slightly, add
the beaten egg yolks and the stify
beaten whites. Pour into a buttered
mold and bake until firm, in mod

Currant jelly may be served with
the souffle if desired
All stores and butcher stalls abound
with cold cuts, which are not ey-
pensive, are of unusual and intriguing
favor, and will make your cold meat
platter a really interesting one. There
is sliced cooked Virginia ham, there
are all the "Wurst' family, there is
bologna, there is salami, there are
various pressed meat loaves, such
as pork and cheese, veal combined with
other meats, and so on. A bountiful
assortment of some of these would
certainly solve the meat problem in
cool and collected way!
A COOKED vegetable salad may be
prepared the day beforehand,
whisper-also will make use of left
over cooked vegetables in a delightful
way. Wash off any butter that may
be left on these, before setting them
to chill. Almost any combina ton is
good-string beans, peas, baby limas,
bits Of celery. carrots, beets, asparagus
tips, caullfloWer, etc. The more vege-
tables you have the gayer and more
tasty the salad. Prepare your French
dressing with more mustard and onion

taking into consideration their worth
as investments. OF course there are
people who do not care to play with
children, Just as there are those who
do not care for golf or poker or ping
pong, but for those who crave genuine
excitement and clean fun and unex-
pected wit and turns of thought there
is nothing so fascinating as a little
child. He can give you a run for
your money every time and put on
show that is never repeated.
CHILDREN are priceless because
they are the only never failing
guarantee against boredom. AS we
grow older we lose interest in our
selves We know we have shot our
mark and there is nothing much that
is exciting that we will do We have
to borrow our enthusiasms, and unless
we have children we are left as fiat
as spent balloons.
But if we have children we live our
lives over again in them. We pin our
hopes, our ambitions on them, and
we are prouder of our sons who are
making marks in college and of our
daughters who are beautiful and
talented than we ever were of any,
thing that we achieved. If you want
to know whether children are worth
while or not, watch a father when
his son is making a touchdown in a
foot ball game, or a mother when her
daughter is the belle of the ball.
And, finally. children are the best
old-age insurance that men and
women can take out in their youth.
Look about you and you will hardly
see home in which there is not an
old father or an old mother being
cared for by son or daughter. It is
a rare thing when children do not
gladly not only support their parents,
but also give them the love and ten
derness without which old age is
desolate.

If you haven't tried chilled mock turtle
soup you don't know how good a cold
soup can be. Buy the canned variety,
turn it into saucepan, season it well
with salt pepper, onion juice and a
dash of sherry and heat it through, so
that all "tinny" taste is removed. Pour
