Suggestions For
Baskets OF Food
For Needy Cases

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 49,
Here is a Christmas suggestion. II
comes from Miss Mary E. Thomas,
nutritionist Of the State College Ex-
tension Service. 1t has to do with
food.
Not for your Christmas dinner
however. The suggestion is intended
to apply to the gift basket you may
have in mind for somebody not SO
fortunate as yourself this Christmas
time. Perhaps through your church,
your school or your All Club or Home
Demonstration Club, baskets of food
will be distributed to needy families
in your neighborhood.
Don't give just "a basket of food,'
suggested Miss Thomas. Make it a
well-balanccd food supply for the
Christmas weekend, for instance, and
choose the foods so carefully that you
will know that the family getting the
basket will get the most food value
to be had for the money you spend
Miss Thomas suggested Christmas
basket would first contain three tall
IA 1-2 ounce) cans of evaporated milk
Next, half pound of Cheddar cheese
Then the vegetables. First of all po-
tatoes, because of their energy values,
either white or sweet potatoes. Then

household. More than once / had
envied Kitty her job and wished
myself in her shoes.
A year ago, Kitty, like myself,
was one of the girls at Madame
Moira's". At that time Mrs. With
erspoon had not built her salon,
and twice a week regularly she
would call in and have Polly send
out an operator to give her treat
ment.
This had been going on for
months, with Macile, our head
operator, doing the honors for
Madame Moira's" and coming
back to the shop and making our
mouths water with tales of the
perfectly gorgeous food she had
been served for lunch. Artichokes
and pate de foie gras and other
such trif1es that up to then had
been mere names on a menu to
the lot of us.
Well, Macile, as girls will fool
ishly do, married her bus-driving
boy friend and retired to the SUBJ
urbs to mess about with boiled
beet and cabbage; and Polly,
scarcely knowing which way to
turn, packed Kitty off to the
Manor the next time the old lady's
call came through.
To make it short, Kitty made a
hit and it was not long until she
was spending half her days at the
Manor fixing up the old girl and
the rest of the family. never did
know just when or how Mrs.
Witherspoon got the bright idea
to install her own equipment and
to hire Kitty for her private and
personal attendant; but get it she
did, and within six months the
idea was fact. Kitty moved bag
and baggage to the Manor.
Of course job. like that is not
all honey and molasses. A girl
has to take plenty Of sass when
she works for folks who have more
money than they know what to do
! 4loO 110dIu L0ll LIldC
Mrs. Witherspoon was no angel at
best. However, you get big pay
and you work on famous people
instead Of on shopgirls and local
Carlos. So all in all, you cannot
blame me for being thrilled and
for looking forward to a week at
such place.
Looking back, 1 sometimes WON
der why Kitty let me in for what
she did without some sort of warn
ing. But maybe that was because
she had been there so long she did
not notice the queer Inducements
and the tight, oppressed atmos.

ing important personages-actors,
athletes, aviators and other celeb
rities-stopping off at the Manor
to plant a tree in the arboretum
they had somewhere on the place.
They did not mingle much with
the townspeople, being too, too ex-
elusive, except when there was a
charity ball to be opened or civic
drive to be inaugurated. Then Hor-
ace, Jr., would doll up in his tails
and top hat and come forth to do
the honors for dear old Lawnville.
Once l had shaken his cold and
clammy hand at one of these af-
fairs and had looked into his pale,
disinterested eyes that were like
those of a man long dead yet liv-
ing. A shrunken, Insignificant lit
tie man he was, with weak, wom-
anish mouth and a receding chin.
Occasionally l had seen Daphne
Witherspoon, the little mans
daughter, driving like mad
through the streets in her long,
low roadster, her bright hair flying
in the wind, her lips parted in
reckless, ripping laughter. Some
times she would stop in at the cor
ner drug store when ate my
lunch and perch upon the high
stool at the counter and joke with
Pete, the soda jerker, as she slipped
at a Coca-Cola. The town called
Daphne wild, but it really did not
know. She did not hang around
Lawnville much, for she spent
most of her time abroad or in the
east
The rest of the family were
strangers to me. though I knew
along with the rest of the town
that Horace, Jr., was merely the
figurehead. The real chief was old
Mrs. Witherspoon, Horace, ST. S
widow, semi-invalid, who never
stirred from the house.
And Mrs. Witherspoon was the
reason for Kitty's job and the rea-
son for my own invitation to the
Manor. Mrs. W., as Kitty always
called her, was an extraordinarily
vain old lady Of seventy-fve. She
had mania for permanent waves
and henna packs and mud facials
and crimson fingernails! Being
rich, she was. Of course, able to
crafty her passion; and to this
end she had built and completely
equipped a regulation and up-to-
the-minute beauty salon on the
second floor Of the Manor.
Naturally, had never been In
side this private parlor, but Kitty,
who was it's sole operator, had de-
scribed it to me often enough. And
did it sound like an operators par
adise! Mrs. Witherspoon had sent
to New York and had imported the
very latest and most expensive
permanent waving machine and all
that goes with them. She had in
stalled a steam bath and a reduc-
ing cabinet and mechanical horse

she said, motioning me forward.

a dark one they call Glad"
ANY men?" I had visions of a
tall, tanned millionaire who would
take one look at my maidenly
charms and fall like a ton of
| bricks.
MEN, He snorted. There's one
guy that's a Pansy or I eat my
shirt! A nickel to quarter he gets
you to give him a marcel wave. He
wears pink shirts and lavender
neckties!"
"Yeah?" Pansies are not in my
line. Whats he doing at the
Manor?"
Friend of Della's," Tim said,
and turned right and into wind
ing drive that had stone archway
and wrought-iron gate at the
entrance.
"Oh!" I exclaimed and merely
clapped my hands. The Manor was
lighted from top to bottom like a
Christmas tree! The house remind
ed me of pictures Of old English
castles that decorated the pages
Of my high school history books.
It was four stories and built Of
stone. The roof sloped downward
and was spiked with tall turrets.
Along the entire left side, next the
driveway, ran great porch that
, was glassed in above and open be-
low. This, as / soon learned,
housed Mrs. Witherspoon's mod
ernistic beauty salon.
Behind the house, which is where
Tim took me, there was a stone
garage the size of an ordinary
mortars dwelling and behind that,
stretching for unseen miles, was
the arboretum. Then and there
made up my mind that my first
free moment would be spent in ex-
ploration of the arboretum. l was
consumed with healthy curiosity
| to discover whether or not MY
movie star really had planted a
| tree there.
Tim let me out at the rear door,
and if l had not been so thrilled
at the sight of such splendors I
might have been pretty mad. I am
not used to back doors-not even
when they resemble the entrance
to a railway depot or a n1auso-
leum.
Here you are, baby!" he said
and led the way inside. 1 stepped
into the largest kitchen I had ever
seen IN my life.
Good evening"" said a heavy
set. middle-aged woman dressed in
flowing black silk. who arose from
a long table and came forward to
greet me. You are Miss Wilson's
friend?" Her close-set eyes bored
into mine.
This is Elsie Ritter" said Tim.
And an addition to our domicile,

my arm hardly. smiled up at him.

Don't wish me joy, without a tear.

Or sorrow, in the whole New Year

Some glitter bright, while others rust

Another system is to melt parrafin

A brown split oak basket filled with
the cones makes useful as we'll as
