BOXING
SPORT SCRIBES PICK BROWN
BOMBER TO DEFEAT BOB
PASTOR

While some of the country's leading
sport writer's favor Bob Pastor to take
the heavyweight crown from Champ
ion Joe Louis in the coming tilt, to be
staged in Detroit Sept 20; the ma
jority of them, including Damon Run
yon, Bill Cunningham, Henry McLe-
more, and Doc Amy speak out in
favor of the Brown Bomber. This setto
is set to go 20 rounds. Fight experts
point out that the distance is twice
longer than the former ARRAY in 1887,
when Pastor ran a marathon and for
tunately lasted 10 rounds and Louis
encroaching brutality has scared to a
new height since then.
Says scribe Doc Amy: GAS we look
over the coming festivity, the former
New York University boy will find
conditions at Detroit on Sept. 20 some
what different than they were at the
New York Garden in 1887. First of
all, Louis is now Worlds Champion
and, despite certain faults here and
there, rates as a very good one for
the times. He would be "soft picking
for some of the old-timers, but what
might have happened 10, 20 or more

Joe, with much added experience

He now knows his man and what to

Dorothy Dix Says
Use Diplomacy With Children;
Dictatorial Manner UnWise

1t is curious thing that so few
parents ever think it worth while to
use any diplomacy in dealing with
their children. Apparently 1t never
occurs to them that children react
to the application Of soft soap just
exactly the way that grown people
do, and that whether they are gentle
and biddable as Mary's little lamb or
as balky as an army mule depends
altogether on the way they are
handled.
Take obedience, for instance,
which is, as it should be. not only
the first law of the nursery, but the
foundation stone of character build
ing. Everywhere about us we see
parents beating on their breasts and
wailing aloud that they cannot make
their children mind them. True,
but how do these fathers and moth
ers 60 about getting obedience from
their children? Do they try to make
the child understand that it is some
thing for his own good that they
must work out together? Not at all.

he knows will do what he has been

Stiff and Elegant Fabrics Make Outstanding Daytime F0c for Holiday
Etiquette of
Christmas
Greetings
Few Simple Rules
To Follow When
Sending Cards

Follow the rules Of common sense
and you will remain within the
boundaries OF good taste and ac-
cepted etiquette governing the send
ing of Christmas cards. Naturally
the address on the envelope, and
your signature, unless 1t is printed
or engraved. will be written in
longhand. If you have your own
special cards, you will probably have
your name printed or engraved
on them, in lettering to harmonic
with the Typography of the senti-
ment. Perhaps you will prefer to
have facsimile of your own hand
written signature. Remember that
colored inks are popular this year.
Some couples still retain the for
NAL Mr. and Mrs" signature, but
most younger couples prefer the
friendlier John and Alice Lane" !"
especially for close friends and rela-
tives. 1t does not matter whether
the husband or the wife's name
comes first. Children may be in
cluded, as John and Alice Lane and
the baby" If there are several chill
dren in the family, it is simpler to
use the form THE John Lanes"
The married woman who is known
to her business associates by her
maiden name should write it be-
meath her joint signature with her
husband. unless she uses separate
cards for her business list. Natur-
ally, she should not use Miss" when
writing her maiden name.
AS a rule, the card for business
friend or acquaintance is sent to his
office. But if he is married and his
wife is known to the sender the card
may be addressed to the couple at
their home. A card for a married
woman should be addressed to Mr.
and Mrs, even though the sender
is only slightly acquainted with the
husband.
In sending greetings to an entire
household one card may be used for
the husband and wife and separate
cards for the children. If only one
card is used the names of the chill
dren should be written separately on
the envelopes, below the Mr.. and
Mrs. line. Here's an example:
Mr.. and Mrs Arthur Richards,
Miss Lucille Richards.
A widow is addressed by her late
husbands name-Mrs. Charles Per-
kins. Divorces, according to strict
est usage, substitute the family name
for the former husbands first name,
as Mrs. Curtis Perkins. However,
many divorced women prefer to use
their own Christian names, with or
without their own family names,
with the ex-husband's surname Ex-
ample: Mrs. Margaret Perkins, or
Mrs. Margaret Curtis Perkins.
Each year more and more persons
adopt the custom of sending Christ
mas cards in unsealed envelopes,
thus gaining the privilege Of the
third-class postage rate of IL cents.
Under this classification, only ones
signature and a simple form Of
greeting may be handwritten-
Merry Christmas" Happy New
Year" or Sincerely Yours

over your nose and your sheerest
stockings worn, we defy any one to
say that you look "old." As
for the stiffness of the fabric,
they're supposed to be that way, and
that stiffness is not harmful to most
figures. Can you imagine anything
worse than a limp damask or taf-
feta? Can you picture the pert lines
of one of these dresses in a material
that does not stand out jauntily?
We can't, and that's why 1t rifles"

you, have all the charm and detail

Other Types
Seen Now.
Among the other daytime frocks,
some of the local shops report, there
is a great demand for colorful crepes.
All the muted rose, blue and aqua
shades are beginning to come into
their own, and so are basic black
frocks with colorful little jackets.
These do a fine double-duty job for
the modest purse. White splashes,
such as lace trim on pockets, neck
line or sleeves, adorn many black
dresses and they do add cheerful
touch to winter clothes. Especially
since so many white hats are being
shown, this idea is good one.
Jerseys and crepes continue to hold
their own among the usual run OF
frocks.
And while we were looking at a
profusion of gold, silver, pastel
tinted and other suitable ornaments
for the new frocks, we came across
necklaces and bracelets that made
our eyes pop. Although we'd read
about them in New York publica-
tions, it was the first time we'd seen
necklaces and bracelets of ermine
tails or mink tails here. They're
really wonderful, especially if you
have the proper complimentary out
fits. Imagine luxurious ermine
tail necklace on a black velvet din
ner gown; or visualize mink choker
on a Chinese tea-colored dress, to
accent the mink trim on your hat!
They're not particularly inexpen-
sive, but if you want to give a nice
Christmas gift, look them over and
you'll be sure to buy two-one to
keep. Excellent with dresses when
you take OF your cost and your fur
trimmed hat looks q little strange
by itself!

OPOssUM.
AS 'possum is mighty fat little
animal, he must be carefully pre-
pared to avoid an excess of greasi-
ness. Scald him, by plunging him
into hot water just below the boil
ing point and hold him by the tail
for one or two minutes. Place him
on a table and scrape off all the
hair with a dull knife. Be careful
not to tear the skin. Make an in
clsion from throat to tail and re-
move the entrails. Do not cut of
his head and his tail, for Cooks"
Remove the brains and cut off the
feet. Now wash the 'possum care
fully in very cold water; let him
hang for several days where he can
freeze, if possible.
When ready to cook, wipe the
possum with damp cloth (after
he has been allowed to thaw out)
and rub him well with salt and black
pepper. Place him in a roaster and
sprinkle him well with lemon Juice

AS a general hint-remember that

PHEASANT.
Now, here is another of those
problems. The accepted way to pre-
pare pheasant is to roast it and
serve it with bread sauce and bread
crumbs. This, I admit, is delicious
and you can never go wrong with
the hunter by serving the birds in
this manner. However, I personally
find that roast pheasant is inclined
to be somewhat dry and tasteless-
therefore, prefer it done as follows:
SMOTHERED PHEASANT.
Cut pheasant in pieces for serving
as you would frying chicken. Roll
the pieces in flour that has been
we'll seasoned with salt and pepper.
Saute the pieces in about three
tablespoons butter until lightly
Drowned. Add one cup coffee cream
and simmer, covered, for three
quarters of an hour. Add milk if
necessary and turn pieces of pheas-
ant occasionally. Serve the meat
on a hot platter with gravy made
from the cream and juices in the
pan. One pheasant should serve
three to four people, depending upon
its size.
WILD TURKEY.
Wild turkeys average about II
pounds for the young toms. Pre-
pare the bird the same as for do
mestic turkey, using any good
stuffing, such as oyster, chestnut,
mushroom or sausage Stuff the
bird, truss. and place in a roasting
pan. Pour / y cups grapejuice over
it into the pan, and roast in a
moderately slow oven for 20 to 25
minutes to the pound. Basic every
20 minutes with the juice in the
pan. When done, remove turkey to
hot serving platter; thicken the
liquid in pan with, mixture of
flour and water q tablespoons
-four to l cup liquid. Garnish
turkey with celery tops, and serve
with gravy passed separately. Cur
rant jelly is better than cranberry
with wild turkey.
GROUSE.
SINCE the grouse, wipe with a
damp cloth inside and out. Dry
thoroughly. Rub inside and out
with salt, and stuff with a sage
stuf1ing. Do not sew opening Place
slices of fat salt pork over the
breasts of the birds, fastening with
toothpicks. Place birds on rack in
roasting pan, pour " cup boiling
water into pan, and bake in a hot
oven, $50 degrees for IS minutes.
Reduce heat to moderately slow,
(325 degrees), end bake for 80 min
utes longer. Remove fat. brush

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred
they issue a command in an arbi-
trary, dictatorial tone Of voice that
irritates the child and raises every
ounce of resentment in his nature.
They don't take the trouble to ex-
plain to him what it is all about, and
why 1t is best that he should do this
way and not the other thing. They
don't make him feel that he is CO.
operating with them. Very few chill
dren object to obeying in itself. 1t
is the tyrannical way they are made
to do it that puts their backs up.
Nor do the average parents use any
finesse in correcting their children S
faults. They go at them roughshod,
regardless of time and place and the
youngsters mental attitude, which
either turns the little culprits into
rebels or gives them an inferiority
complex that blights their lives
Many a child is set in fault of
which it could have been easily cured
by being Inundated by its being pub
licly broadcast. One quiet word, said
at the psychological moment, will
work more reformation than q
thousand Rawlings out.
Parents want their children to
conflde in them, yet they take the
surest way of shutting themselves
out of their sons and daughters con-
fdence by not being trustworthy
They blab the things that their chill
dren tell them. I have seen a child
writhe in agony while its parents
set a dinner table in roar repeating
some naive remark it had made, or
made funny story out of Mamie S
or Johnny's first love affair. Father
and Mother broke faith with them
and they never told them what was
in their hearts again.
Believe me, diplomacy is just as
necessary in the nursery as it is in
the drawing room or the business
office
