The Wallace Ford family does not 60 in for
entertaining formally. When we're in our
real house, we seldom have more than eight, p"
Wally says. But in our place in the country,
anybody comes who wants to. We load up
with canned goods and staples and go off there
without any servants. One of our regular
stunts for meals, there, is to combine all sorts
of things out of cans. We throw everything
into great big pot to cook and when it is
we'll combined we serve it in big soup bowls
This is what we call mock bouillabaisse With
it we have all the bread and butter we can eat.
Try this sometime when you've been on
days outing. don't think you'll ask for any
thing better"
Wally is not particularly fond of sweets.
You ought to ask Patty about them" he
says "She loves all the rich and sweet things
chocolate cakes and chocolate sodas, pud
dings, pie, everything. The only sweet like is
the strawberry shortcake, which was one of the
rare treats and great favorites of my youth.

take for granted. 1t was one of the most inn
portant things in life
Now that Wally can eat whenever and
whatever he likes, his tastes are simple. some

that would please any man. Pigs knuckles
and sauerkraut, corned beef and cabbage are
good enough for royalty, in his opinion Pep

valuable suggestion for cooks on the lookout
for something different for the family.
Tell the readers also," Wally says, about
chopped chicken livers, served on rye toast
with sliced hard-boiled egg and piece of
lemon" And this, indeed, is a delightful dish
for luncheon or Sunday night supper.
Wally also recommends goose - If they
know how to cook it." Here, again, is fowl
that deserves to appear more frequently on
our tables, and we have an excellent recipe for
those who are interested.
As for soup, Wally likes it. But like to
make meal of it, - he says. There's nothing
better than fine onion soup with plenty of
breadand butter. Lentil soup is also excellent.

bines what would call total masculinity with
an unexpected and disarming gift for gentle
ness ard consideration when he is talking to
woman And shrewd guess suggests that his
wife and child find these endearing qualities.
At all events, he was married seventeen years
ago to Martha Haworth, whom he met when
he was playing the role of Able in that fan
tastically popular play 'Abie's Irish Rose"
Their daughter, Patricia, now eleven years
old, is her fathers darling.
There were other things to make Wallace
appreciative of home and family. He had
grown up without them, for after his English
mother and father separated he soon found
himself turned over to a child-caring institu-
ton in London. And at six he was sent to
Canada with l99 other small foundlings.
Here he was shunted from farm to farm, with
a record of twelve adoptions by the time he
was fourteen. And by that time he was ready
to run away. One of the first jobs he found
for himself was that of program boy with
stock company, where his native good wits
and natural pluck enabled him to get himself
behind, instead of before. the footlights. Thus
Wallace at fifteen became an actor.
There were many ups and downs before

he slept in one of the companys dressing
rooms This was the only way he could keep
life in his body and still 60 on with the ill-paid
work in the theater.
1t is no wonder, then, that in the impecu
