Capt. Charles o. Brooks, mastel
of the steamer for the last Il
years, was positive he had runs
the engine room to turn on The
fire pumps. He was equally posi-
tive he had signaled for the en-
gines of the vessel to be stopped
before he was driven from tn
pilot house by smoke and flames
Clarence J. Blake, first mate o.
the doomed ship, told the boarc
he had stationed the crew at thu
fire plugs along the deck, had thu
hoses uncoiled and then found NJ
water. The captain vainly at

ashamed Of myself for not recog-

and came away with a secret resolu-
ton to study up on them in private
and take myself out to the Cathedral
to do little buying and tasting to
brush up my knowledge!
ERE are few Of the recipes
given me at the luncheon by
the ladies of All Hallows Guild which
give practical suggestions for using
the less familiar herbs in our every
day cooking. AS I discover more,
shall include them in the column
from time TO time.
SAVORY RICE.
I cup rice
onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Summer Savory.
l teaspoon marjoram.
e3 tablespoons butter.
teaspoons chervil.
2 teaspoons parsley.
Cook the onions in the butter for
minutes, add the rice and the herbs,
and cook until the rice is slightly
Drowned. Add little water or stock,
and cook until the rice is tender and
the liquid has been absorbed This
Is good as separate dish, or as a
stuffing for chicken or duck Peppers,
tomatoes and eggplant may also be
stuffed with the mixture
LEG OF LAMB, ROSEMARY.
Cut a slit in the leg of lamb. and
place in it a good-sized sprig of
fresh rosemary, or teaspoon of dried
rosemary, if the fresh is not available.
Sew up the slit. and put the lamb in

for basting the meat occasionally with

cool Summer beverages. Another one,
painted white, is shaped like q
schooner, with a canvas sail. The
deck is divided into sections to hold
glasses and pitcher; this is most
effective when ruby glassware is used.
The panel in the stern of the ship
maybe opened, revealing two shelves
running the full length of the ship
giving ample room for plates OF
canapes and sandwiches.
A N INTERESTING item hat may
be added to the white set is q
curved settee forming semi-circle,
with sailcloth cushions Of red, white
and blue. This settee is made up of
three chairs, two with curved backs
and one with straight back This
might be termed a three lone
piece!"
Other furniture that is popular for
either the garden or terrace is made
OF wrought iron, that Is painted white,
with sailcloth cushions Of any color
that you like. This style comes in
various sizes Of chairs, settees and
tables. The tables are particularly
lovely with their glass tops Some
have white glass and others blue.
One charming table had q shelf un-
derneath decorated with bowl Of red
roses, which was lovely when seen
through the glass top. There are also
nests of tables with glass tops that
are always handy.

THERE are other types Of metal
chairs that have been popular
for several seasons. such as those
fashioned by wide bands Of flexible
metal, that are so comfortable that
cushions are unnecessary. These are
most frequently seen painted In q
lovely shade Of soft green, although
they may be had in any color. There
are also metal chairs that are modern
istic in design, and many Of them
look for all the world as if they should
be In the living room! One unusual
piece is called the trouble set" It
Is made like the old fashioned g.
shaped love seat, the two chairs facing
each other with a small table between.
This is made all in one, and Is very
comfortab BILE with its overstuffed cush-
ions covered in water repellent CLOTH
The particular model we saw was
painted in a soft orange shade with
yellow cushions.
Speaking of unusual pieces, there is
one made of white iron, with two
seats (however these are facing in
the same direction), with table-like
top between for ash trays and other
accessories. There is also q place
where large umbrella may be slipped,
to add to your comfort on sunny day.
Sail cloth cushions may be had in
any color to match the umbrellas.
A very new and interesting addition
to the garden for those who like q
little candleIght when there is no
moon or when more light Is wanted
during dinner, are wrought iron
sconces with hurricane candlesticks
and glass protectors. These stand
about five feet and may be had with
either twin or triple lights. They
may be purchased in white, to match
your white furniture or in dark green,
that will go with any color scheme and
will fit right into the background OF
your garden.

Pre- S e n t
Hair Style
Tire n d s
There are Four Types
in the Spotlight
of Fashion.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

~ AA<oAA = AAASSDs
INDIVIDUALITY in hair styles has
been stressed these many years.
But there has never been season
like this one, never so many reasons
for achieving that cherished note of
individuality Of smartness and chic.
Recently we talked about the desire
for the new being closely related to
the desire for beauty. And we decided
that style trends were very essential
and helpful as guide or key. We
emphasized the fact, however, that
these trends should be adopted only
as a basis and from that point subtle
changes made to suit the individual.
These notes apply alike to styles in
coats, hats shoes, gowns, to costume,
coiffure, cosmetics.
In hair styles, for instance, there
are at present four definite trends and
these four certainly give us sufficient
basis to work on. The notifications,
the various versions, the subtle
changes one can introduce are in
Vulnerable, SO that though basically
you adopt the same trend as your
neighbor when the last stroke of the
comb Cor brush--the newest hair
styles call for brushing, you know
finishes your style, it should look
radically different.
For instance, the Page Boy IS one
Of the most popular style influences
today because Of It's simplicity and its
youthfulness. have seen dozens Of
versions Of this fashion. Haven't you?
The pompadour effect which Is
sophisticated and charming has found
expression In the "angeW or "horn Of
plenty" rolls at the top Of the head,
In soft treatments at the temple, in
symmetrical or asymmetrical treat
ment, in the shaped, brushed-up
pompadour at the center or side.
A third style which Is special boon
to short hair is the swept-up arrange
ment. To me it is ideal for the smart
matron who prefers her hair bit on
the short side and who is tired of the
usual swirl. Properly executed, the
swept-up effect can, at a command of
the comb, sweep up or down, curl or
swirl or do any number of tricks.
Those whose hair grows very slowly
or who prefer the comfort of short
hair but tearfully complain there's
not much to be done with it, would
be amazed at the becoming, seemingly
intricate styles one can achieve even
for short hair with this vogue.
The fourth trend Is the forward
movement. With the off-the-face
hats you'll see more and more Of this
youthful style. It IS especially be-
coming to those with long faces or
high foreheads. It has dash and
verve and that is why think Of it as
typically Spring or Summer.

natural shade-that is, vanished to
protect it from the elements-or it
may be painted. If this furniture Is
bought purely for out-of doors, white
Is particularly lovely against back
ground of velvety green grass and
shrubs.
The specially designed seats that
may be had in a choice of green,
orange. yellow. brown or blue water
proof material are very comfortable
and give a cool and refreshing effect
on hot days. A local store has set
of the less expensive type of the
natural-colo rattan" furniture,
consisting of a large settee and two
comfortable chairs. The cushions are
made of water-repellent material Of
either royal blue, red or green. The
more expensive articles are bought
by the piece, so that you can make
your own groupings. Tables Of vari-
Gus sizes may be added.

1t does no good for girl to tell the

IF YOUR boyfriend is one Of those
chaps who is superior about movies
you know that you can't just say
"Oh, let's go to the corner movie
It doesn't work with him. He'll tell
you It's no good, he saw the prevue.
Or he just won't say anything and
you'll end-up playing anagrams.
That's all right If you want to play
anagrams. But If you really want to
see the show, it's up to you to arouse
the gentleman's interest in it.
OF course, you know your man best.
He may respond to the idea Of chiv-
alry-doing what you want to do, etc,
etc. (Note: He may) He may even
respond to your critical judgement. If
you have read q review Of the show
and sound intelligent about it, he may
be intrigued.
But one of the best ways to get him
going about the show is to quote
some friend whose judgment he thinks
Is terrible. Say, for instance, Victor
says that show was very disappointing
It was too vulgar" And 10 minutes

Mind you 1t doesn't work with every

EAR DOROTHY DIX: A
young man and a young wo-
man. even before they met,

- kept a diary into which they
wrote not only what they did, but also
their innermost thoughts. These two
fell in love- Each revealed to the
other many intimate truths, but there
are still other truths even more in
innate, which they wrote into their
diaries. Before marriage, and in the
cause OF honesty as we'll as a distaste
Tor the hypocrisy so destructive of
Later happiness, should they show each
other their unexpurgated diaries?
Ell.
Answer: I can think Of nothing else
on earth that would furnish food for
50 many quarrels, inspire so much
needless jealousy and lead to so many
ordinations and recriminations as
for . husband and wife to have before
them in black and white a written
transcript Of everything that each of
them had done, said and thought over
a period Of years.
Not even an angel could come
through such an ordeal unsmirched,
because in addition to what was set
forth the imagination would get in
Its deadly work and turn any incon-
seQuent action into damning evidence
Of msdoing.
Keeping diary is dangerous and
pernicious practice that can lead to
much trouble, as we have seen in
recent court cases.
There are many reasons for this.
One Is that it records many things
that had best be forgotten. Another
IS that it is temptation to us to slop
over, get maudlin and introspective,
tell things about ourselves that are
as much lack of decency and reserve
as 1t would be to strip ourselves and
run naked down the street.

OF course, we are all familiar with

herbs that keep our linen closets frag-

know about pot-pourri and rose
bowls" that our grandmothers loved,
and that impaired an atmosphere of
quiet sweetness throughout the houses
OF bygone times-and we know a little
about using a few herbs in cookery
such as thyme, parsley, dill, mint, sage,
etc.-but there is a big field practi-
cally unexplored by modern American
cooks.
TO STIMULATE interest In herbs
and to stress their place in our
culinary world luncheon was given
last week at which every dish served
included some kind Of herb to give it
flavor. The results were really fas-
cinating. The plainest foods took on
an entirely new SAVIOR and became
almost sensationally different"
Guests were seated at small tables
for five; the centerpiece on each
table consisted of q number Of tiny
pots holding herbs Of various kinds,
neatly labeled. so that while we ate

was making it distinctive. To most
OF us the little green stalks and
leaves were totally unfamiliar-even
though we might recognize the taste,
We had never met the plant in per-

soup which included a number OF
herbs-I couldn't possibly tell you
what they were. for the blended
