In every community, large or small,
there is always a group of men to
whom the citizens point with pride as
being an example of inspiring and
successful leadership. You can be GER
tain that in the majority of cases such
a man points with considerable pride
to a wife who has kept his home and
provided him with the comforts of life.
We have in this city many such men,
and, to give you glimpse at the Gladly
in the home" / have decided to run
this series of articles.
Today, the lady is very apt to be
a career girl, herself, presenting some
worthwhile contribution to society, be-
sides the inspiration which she pro-
vides her household.
Such is the case of my first "Mr
Boston" To all who know him, he is
a highly respected individual, one who
has gained the admiration of his fell
low-citizens and the national acclaim
Of his Fraternity. He is Russell
Gideon, of Harrishof Street, Roxbury,
an active community leader, and Ma
tonal Chairman of the Better Business
Program of Phi Beta Sigma Frater-
nifty.
Mrs. (Lillian) Gideon is a very
charming young lady who has COM
bined her own career as a Welfare
Worker so satisfactorily with her ideal
of marriage that she is looked upon
as one of the most successful young
matrons in Boston.
She received me most graciOusly in
her home the day | went to call and
almost Immediately the conversation
touched upon the subject of food.
II am very fortunate" said Mrs.
Gideon, Gin having a husband who is
not finicky about food Since food is
my pet economy although / never
sacrifice balanced diets to this fetish,
it is helpful to be planning for some
one who doesn't mind Sundays roast,
served as meat pie or croquettes on
Monday"
81 have always felt" she continued,
that too great per cent of the food
dollar was wasted by thoughtless pre-
paration of meals, without giving suffi-
cient consideration to the vitamin con-
tent of the food. For this reason, | do
all my cooking in a waterless cooker,
thus preserving intact the most preci-
GUS elements"
Thus the conversation moved on.
We discussed budgets and meal plan
ming and most particularly favorite
foods, All of which led up to the fact
that New England Clam Chowder and
Green Apple Pie are the most highly
favored dishes of this "Mr. Boston"
Here is how they are prepared in
The Gideon household.
NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOW

Spring Shoes VIII
Be Very Colorful
Footwear Is Expected to
Tune to Accessories
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Shoes will play a colorful role in
the scheme of things In planning
your costume, fashion expects you
to take shoes into consideration so
that they tune to accessories. Per
example, if you are wearing a jack
ct suit, the skirt in popular gray,
the jacket a plaided wool of teal
blue, gray and wine, your veil is
apt to be wine or teal blue, your
gloves a wine tone and your shoes
will be burgundy wine in color.
You are wearing a navy redingote
over a gay print frock? Navy for
your shoes is the correct answer
unless you prefer fuchsia that picks
up the leading color in the print of
your frock.
The color parade mapped out for
smart spring and summer 1899
shoes places special emphasis on
japonica which is a stunning ma
hogany rust that goes with most
everything. Other styled shoe col
orings include saddle tan, sienna
rust, red burgundy, marine blue,
Partisan blue, violet, fuchsia and,
of course, you are expected to ac-
quire a handsome black patent
leather pair of shoes.

and pepper, cook in cups boiling
water. Cook 10 minutes, add remain

water and thicken with 1 tablespoon
butter and flour cooked together Add
to chowder just before serving.
GREEN APPLE PIE-6 large sour
apples, p cup sugar, half teaspoon
grated nutmeg, tablespoon butter, 2
tablespoons lemon juice.
Line a deep pie plate with your
favorite pastry. Slice apples into pas
try lined dish, mix sugar, nutmeg, and
lemon juice, sprinkle over apples, dot
with butter, wet edges of undercrust,
cover with top crust. Bake in hot
oven (45Oo) for 10 minutes, reduce to
$500 and bake 40 minutes. A nice
glaze will be obtained by dipping a
pastry brush in evaporated milk and
brushing the top crust lightly with it.

Open Toes, Heels
In New Footwear

The vogue of open toes and open
heels has reached such a state that
it will be difficult before many
weeks to find even an Oxford which
supplies good foot coverage. Shoe
styles for spring have been placed
on exhibition and indicate that
pumps and Oxfords as we'll as san
dals expose the toes and the back
of the heels.
Protect Feet
Robust weather calls for rugged
footwear.

Ice box cookies may also be decorated
with small bits of glazed fruits, slices

Spring Styles to
Go Schoolgirlish

Spring fashions will regiment
women of all ages into a worldwide
youth through dress movement if
the designers of our clothes on both
sides of the Atlantic have any say
about it. 1t isn't moderately youth
full clothes they are making. The
fresh crop of spring buds is school
girl age and not day older. Back
ing this youngest-yet fashion are
big shots such as Mainbocher and
AliX in Paris, and all of the grade A
designers in America are support
ing them in a big way.

Style Notes

Chubby boxy fur jacket holds
good for spring.
New contrasts in skirt and
jacket suits are slated for big
future.
Lots of soutache braiding ap-
pears on stunning washable cot
ton tweed suits.
TERED and founced dresses
will be good for spring and sum-
mer.
Quilted jackets with pleated
skirts are outstanding among
sports fashions.
Neat prints show crossbar eff
fects that enclose wee flower
motifs.
Now's the time for a new print
frock that is artfully shirred for
softnesS.
Stripesl Look for a regular
stampede of stripes in the new
materials.
Massive jewelry and colorful
shoes add zest to the coming
modes.

wearing if you are up to the mo-

familiar gem is important fashion
news. The new amber jewelry re-

Declares City Is German And
That Hitler Is Ready

Free City of Danzig, June 49,
Danzig is German and mo
amount of diplomacy or power
politics can change this fact
German Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels told a
cheering audience in this Nazi-
dominated free city.
Goebbels spoke for 50 minutes
at the closing session of Danzig's
Culture Week. It was largely an
explanation of Nazi ideas on Gull
ture, but he found occasion to
weave politics into culture and
to mention Danzig's desire to re-
turn to Germany.

ed times we can depend on him

us stands a Reich strong and So
lid; behind us stands the nation;
over us stands the fuehrer."
Powerful means for our de-
tense stand at our disposal. Since
1888 the German people have
grown enormously in strength.
Today we are a people under
arms. The sword watches over
the Reich.

in the world l need not say
again that the German people
IN its compactness stands by you

lety of your city or of the So

At the same time. however, the
sentiment for the nomination OF
Vice-President Garner to head
the party ticket is growing as
fast as one of the cactus plants OF
his native Texas grows.
In the most recent published
polls by the foremost organiza-
ton which tests public sentiment.
Mr.. Garner is shown as having
at least an equal measure of pub
lie support as has the President
himself. He is certain to have the
backing of powerful state poll
teal organizations not only in the
South, but in numerous other
parts of the country.
Dewey Has Appeal
On the Republican side the be-
lief that the man whom that par
ty will have to beat will be Mr..
Roosevelt himself, is bringing
about a Tightening of party dis
cipline and much more serious
consideration of the personality
and vote-getting ability of pros
pective candidates.
Washington's judgment is still
that Thomas Dewey has the
greatest popular appeal, and that
seems to be shared in the Demo
cratic as we'll as the Republican
ranks.
Republican politicians consid-
ering the possibilities are won
dering whether it might not be
better strategy to figure on Dew
ey for Vice-President and either
Senator Taft or Senator Vanden-
berger for the head of the ticket
There is pretty general agree
ment with Vandenberg's declara-
ton that the candidate, whoever
ne may be, should be pledged by
the Convention to a single term.

WASHINGTON. - The biggest
show which Washington has ever
seen wound up on Friday night
June 9, with the departure OF
King George and Queen Eliza
beth.
@ On the same day the Govern
ment of Finland sent an official
notice to the Treasury that il
would pay its regular semi-an-
nual installment of $175,000
principal and interest, on the mo-
ney borrowed from the United
States Government for rehabili-
tation of the little nation after
the World War.
Only one person in Washington
was rude enough to ask the King
of England what about the four
thousand million dollars and
more your country owes us?" He
was a member of Congress who
sent a telegram addressed to the
King at the White House, and
then told the press about it. The
Congressman was so obviously
seeking personal publicity by this
ungraciouS gesture that the news
paper men all agreed not to men
ton his name.
In the first place, the King of
England has nothing to say about
his Governments financial rela-
tons, and in the second place he
and his wife were here merely as
King and Queen of Canada,
which doesn't owe the United
States anything. Moreover, they
were paying social, not an Of
fetal visit.
To ask them about the debt
would have been as bad manners
as to ask an invited guest at ones
house when he intended to pay
that So you lent him in 1929.
However, there is a decided
feeling in Washington official cir
cles that the royal visits effect
is likely to have a great deal of
influence in bringing about a
settlement of the war debt mat
ter, as we'll as Strengthening the
relations between the two ma
ions.
