HOUSEKEEPING
AIDES BUSY ON
YULE PASTRIES
Eighty Cookies Made at
Cost of l8 Cents
By MARIE MANNING


There's culinary miracle going
on in the basement Of Lincoln
Temple. Eleventh and r SITS. N. w.
Believe it or not, delicious cookies
are being made at the rate OF
1914 cents for 80 white cookies,
or IS ginger cookies at the same
price. No Washington child should
20 cooky-leSs at Christmas.
The Board of Health is the legal
sponsor for this project and fur
nishes electricity and gas. And
here Housekeeping Aides are
trained. white Aides being sent to
white families and colored Aides
to colored families.
WORRY OVER SANTA
Suppose you were five, six, or
seven years of age, or maybe a
little younger or older, and you
were distinctly worried about
Santa Claus, and the grave posi-
bility that he might cut you off
his list entirely this year.
You had reasons for these dis
NAL reflections. Mother was sick
in bed and the new baby brother
or sister seemed to be getting
most of the attention. You weren't
especially interested in the new
baby, because old and new. there
were three and four of them
crawling around the house al
ready.
NEW INTEREST
Then the housekeeping aide
lady, who was running things
while mother was sick, told you
not to worry, that Santa Claus
wasn't going to forget you after
all.
Immediately you began to take
q new interest in life, and espe-
cially in that housekeeping aide
lady, who arrived few days ago
wearing a trim brown uniform
with H. K. A. on the front.
The project is for training house
keeping aides to make palatable
dishes out of surplus foods in the
Lincoln Temple basement, and a
visit today found them as busy as
an overturned ant-hill. Some were
writing up case histories, some
were laundering their uniforms,
some were engaged in cooking
dishes which sent out appetizing
odors.
Leaving the Indian pudding
bubbling, as it awaited the mo-
lasses, and the savory combination
of shredded cabbage, sliced apples
and buttered bread crumbs to
turn brown, we gave our attention
to the next room, where those 80l
or IS cookies were being turned
out at the rate of 1874 cents per
batch.
AND FERDINAND
Here Ferdinand the Bull, in
brown ginger coat, regarded life
amiably through raisin eye.
Ferdinand comes under that 1874
cent quota. Sugar, rainbow-tinted
by the addition of pinch Of vege-
table dye, turned those cookies
into fine Christmas tree orna-
nentS.
Here was Santa Claus, his huge
pack bullying with cornucopiaS of
different shades, flowers, sham
rocks, Christmas bells, angels,
Christmas trees, and stars, so that
the little children of the poor could
wake up Christmas morning to
find a tree sprouting with delicious
things, which could be eaten as
well as admired.

Irish Players
At National.
May Is

The roster of the company Of
Abbey Theater Players, who will
present their repertoire Of gay
comedies and thrilling dramas
at the National Theater for one
week commencing Monday, May
16, includes IA, and the tour is
under the personal direction of
F. r. Higgins from Dublin, with
Ebert A. Wickes presenting the
company in America.
1t is possible for the Abbey
players to take these long trips
to America because of the
strength Of the Dublin perma-
nent company maintained at
their theater in Dublin. While
this company is on tour another
carries on. presenting the same
plays. in the home theater, for
the house is open 4o weeks of the
year.
The list of the players who
will be seen here includes F. j.
Mccormick, Barry Fitzgerald,
Maureen Delany, Arthur Shields,
Frolie Mulhern, Michael J.
ODea, Joseph Linnane, Ria
Mooney and U. Wright.
Playing repertoire as they do
there are few of the plays which
calls for the full strength of the
company, "The Playboy of the
Western World" coming nearer
to that then any of the others.
But in one play the character
drawn may be the leading one
and in another the actor who
played that lead may just have
a few words to speak. Such is
the versatility of the players
that they can assume almost
any part in any play if called
upon to do so and there are
frequent changes of roles in one
play.
This is one thing which makes
the performances of the Abby
Theater players always alive and
vibrant with life, for the actors
never go stale by playing one
role again and again:
There are no stars in the
Abbey Theater troupe but there
are a group of rounded actors
equipped to play anything they
may be called upon to do.

ANDERSON PHILOSOPHY
This and the Fourth of July
picnic provide the highlights of
Maxwell Anderson's play. They are
costumed and directed in the mood
and treatment of Currier and Ives
prints, immersed in quaint humor
that stops just this side of carica-
ture.
The experiment doesn't work
out exactly as planned. The folks
all revert back to the status quo.
and Mr.. Anderson drops his cur
tain on one of the most thoughtful
speeches of his play:
Il never believed much in a
golden city, back there in the
choir. I don't believe it now.
But they were right about one
thing, the old prophetS-there
is a holy city somewhere. A
place we hunt for, and go for
ward, all of us trying and none
of us finding it. Because our
lives are like the bird, you re-
member, in the old reader that
flew in from a dark night
through a room lighted with
candles, in by an open window,
and out the other side. We
come out of dark, and live for a
moment where it is light, and
then go back into dark again.
Some time we'll know what's
out there in the black beyond
the window where we came in,
and what's out there in the
black on the other side, where
it all seems to end
is WELL ACTED
AS mentioned above Burgess
Meredith and Lillian GiSh give
simple, unaffected performances
that make "Star Wagon" reals
tically human. Russell Collins,
Mildred Natwick and Barry
Kelley are splendid in the other
important roles.
The Star Wagon" is not
Maxwell Anderson's best play,
but it is a grand evenings en-
tertainment.
