Honduras MAHOGANY

English woodcutters in the 17th
century came from Jamaica to the
mainland of Central America to get
out "logwood," a valuable dye wood.
They discovered that this region
produced mahogany. Until the
treaty of 1888 between England and
Spain, the English were not sup
posed to cut mahogany in Honduras.
However, the temptation was great
and much of it was cut and the cut
ters were often in serious trouble
with the Spaniards The colony was
twice wiped out and the survivors
sold into slavery. According to
Thomas Sheratons book, The Cab
met Directory published in 1903,
Honduras mahogany was the prin-
cipal kind then being used in Eng
land.

"Hei-Tiki," they included every
thing from play clothes to the most
revealing of evening gowns. We
were much impressed by the bril-
liant colors and flowers, the dis
tinctive silhouettes and the ex-
travagant use of prints. But in
the back OF our minds the thought
kept coming, How well will these
startling clothes go over?"
One thing is certain: They will
be appropriate only for certain oc-
casions and can be safely worn by
a comparatively small percentage
OF women. The tall, slim, dark
haired girl will find them f1atter-
ing, but the not-quite- So smooth
lady will disapprove heartily. So
will the "baby-face" type and all
the girls who fall in the shorter and
plumper class. They're clever and
extreme, these new Hei-Tiki modes.
They're high styles-and that's a
category limited to a chosen few .
However, they're fashion news and
far be it from this department to
discourage anything that even re-
sembles variety.
Costumes for
Every Hour.
If you wanted to "go native"
right through the day, you'd have
little trouble in finding just the
proper clothes. You arise in the
morning and reach for your hostess
coat. More than likely it turns out
to be full-skirted model with bril-
liant blue bodice and large, splashy
print skirt. After breakfast a swim
is in order, so you whip out your
tWo-piece suit with the fish and
shell design. Your suit undoubtedly
has a short flattering skirt, bra top
and bare midriff. Off you go to the
beach, clutching your cape with it's
fishnet and shell motif. You don't
even breathe the secret to the life
guard: The fact that your snappy
cape is really linen tablecloth tied
with white cord. And, of course, he
wouldn't know that you also wear it
for evening. Maybe you're taking
little Maybelle to the beach She's
Polyneslan-conscious, too, with her

In the afternoon you don a red
and white sunback frock with a
tiny matching jacket. This dress
has shirring at the waist so that 1t
fits snugly over the hips-just like
pictures of South Sea Island pelles.
With it you wear a large hat

ham is an excellent meat course
that may be cooked at home, then
served hot or cold.
''It is well to be cautious, in warm
weather especially, about serving
certain foods that may become
sources of food poisoning. Dishes
containing eggs that are not cooked
at high enough temperature to de-
story toXin-producing microorgan-
isms should be put in the refriger-
ator Immediately after they're pre-
pared-kept there until serving time.
This includes such dishes as cream
puffs, potato and other salads made
with an egg dressing, sandwiches
made from eggs, deviled eggs. Do
not make these dishes long ahead
of time.
Keep Meats
Cool.
"All meats, of course, need to
be kept in the refrigerator. Cooked
meats for sandwiches should never
be ground up until time for making
them. Time for that is the day of
the dinner, not the night before.
Creamed chicken and similar dishes
should be made not long ahead of
time and the meat should be heated
to the boiling temperature. Never
let these dishes stand around luke
warm. That is the best possible
temperature for the development of
the toxins.
Consider foods in season and the
garden resources of the community
in making the menu. AS much as
possible keep to moderately priced
dishes SO that no one will stay home
because he can't afford to come.
| Certain foods should be ruled out,
because they're too much trouble
to make in quantity. Count out
dishes that deteriorate on standing,
such as souffles and some vege-
tables.
IF only one large plate is used
in serving, small paper cups are
inexpensive for serving a runny,
juicy dish-for keeping cool salad
from hot food-for fruit cups.
Very often community meals are
low on fresh vegetables and fruits.
Some salads that are suitable for
serving at large dinners are the
variations of cole slaw. These may
be served from large dish passed
at the table. Carrot and cucumber
strips, sections of tomatoes, celery,
spring onions, radishes, slivers of
green pepper are also suitable.
For dessert, fruit cups and fresh
fruit in season are good and not
so heavy as the customary pie. To
60 with these serve homemade cook
les or cake. Easiest kinds of cake
to handle are cup cakes or larger
sheet cakes that have little or no
icing on them to melt and compli-
cate serving. Rhubarb or cherry
tarts, cantaloupe with ice cream,
ice cream served between two slices
Of cake as sandwich are some
special desserts always popular"

scramble to dress for tea on the ter
race. For this occasion you choose
dress with headhunter ornament
at the Waistline, and wear a wood
necklace and bracelets that look az
though they had graced some queen
OF the islands. Your hat Is a posi-
tive sensation at the party, for it's
a crownless turban made of native
grass. Hibiscus is one of your ia
vorlte colors, and you wear a great
deal of it with your fiShnet scarfs
that have been turned into smart
turbans. Seashell jeWelry is another
favorite of yours, and so are the
lightweight, brightly colored flower
necklaces and bracelets.
FOrmals Are
Outstanding.
But it's at night that you really
appreciate your Hei-Tiki clothes.
For parties aboard the yacht, for
dancing at the country club or en-
tertaining at home these formals
are distinctive. You are very proper
dining at Aunt Agatha's, and your
bold flower print dress is subdued
enough for any occasion. But when
you dash off to the party on the
yacht, off comes the demure little
girdle and your formal has become
a tWo-piece affair with the bra top
ending several inches from the be-
ginning of the skirt Another night
you choose a fish and net design
in hibiscus pink, and use a Jacket
to cover up when convention re-
quireS it. When you wear either,
there's always huge flower in your
hair or whole flower headdress,
and your sandals have a leaf and
fruit design that fits in perfectly
with your gown.
From dawn to dark you're trans
planted South Sea island maid with
all the color and gayety that goes
with your clothes. Just a word of
warning, however. Do be sure that
you're the type for these extreme
modes, and do wear them at the
proper time and place!

Wedding Invitation

An Obligation
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Will inviting Mr..
and Mrs. Richan Important to a
wedding anniversary reception can
Gel their first invitation to us, which
was to dinner?
Answer-Although 1t is true that
an invitation does not have to be
returned in kind, the answer to this
question depends on several details.
If this reception is a small friendly
one to which you are inviting your
particular friends, it would perfectly
we'll return the dinner invitation
But if you are inviting every one
on your general visiting list and
perhaps business asquaintances of
your husbands as well, then it
would not be very suitable return
on the Importants' invitation, un-
less you never give dinners or
parties little less general to which
you could invite them.
Dear Mrs. Post: The luxury tax
in effect in some cities frequently
means that there are a few pen
nies among the change brought
back to the table by the waiter.
Should one leave them with the
amount left on the tray for the
waiter, or take the pennies up with
the other change? 1t seems cheap
to me either way.
Answer-Leave the amount you
intend as tip and take up the
pennies with the rest of the change.

touch of mathematics enters the pic
ture, for many standard recipes must
be expanded to provide enough for
large numbers Of people. And right
here lies potential trouble-a good
many recipes cannot be 'just
doubled" or tripled; ingredients do
funny things sometimes when ham
died in wholesale fashion. 1t is best
to follow recipes supplied by special
cookbooks, magazines or newspapers
that have been compiled for large
groups. We published a table of

In the meantime, today's release
from the Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture contains some helpful
suggestions about community
meals:
First of all, how ambitious the
menu can be is determined by the
equipment that's at the scene of
the serving. If there's plenty of
stove. table and refrigerator space,
the whole meal can be prepared on
the spot. If the stove space is some
what limited, it may be used to the
best advantage by having some
dishes that are cooked in the oven,
others on top the stove. II possible,
have at least one hot dish.
Simplicity Is
keynote.
Keep the menu simple This
makes for quicker service, less work
Familiar foods, well-cooked, are
likely to be popular with all the
guests. Pattern for the meal may
be much the same as for dinner at
home - meats potatoes - another
vegetable - salad - some kind of
bread-butter-a beverage-dessert
Even when the meal is one of
those every cook for herself covered
0lSh aHalrS, the menu can be kept
within bounds by publishing mas
ter menu in the paper a week or
so ahead of time.
Offer choices of food only when
this can be done without slowing
the service or causing confusion in
the kitchen. If the dessert is made
up ahead of time, for instance
usually it's no extra trouble to have
two different kinds, if both are
equally popular. Or there can al
ways be choice of beverages.
Foods that can easily be divided
in uniform serving portions-freshly
cooked meat loaf, for instance-are
especially suitable for large groups
Unless the kitchen is we'll equipped
have some of the food the kind
that can be brought from home
cooked or partially prepared. If
stove space is limited this may
even be roast or a casserole main
dish that can be reheated. Baked

Dorothy Dix Says
Despite the Songs, Youth Is Not
Best Time in Woman's Life

When the babies come and she is
tied down to perambulatorS and
kindergartens and schoolgirls and
boys. Wrestling with adolescents
who are bound and determined to
do everything they shouldn't do and
nothing that they should do, and
she is too rushed to given even a
thought to her own emotional life
At the time she never dreams that
that is the happiest time of her life
but to nine women out of ten it is.
For after the children are grown
and gone about the business of life
for themselves: when the tumult
and the shouting have died in the
home and it is left empty and lonely,
most women fall into a sort of mel
ancholia. They have submerged
their own lives into their children S
and when they are gone, nothing is
left.
The one time of life that women
dread most is age. They regard it
as an enemy against which they
fight with all their might and main
But to those who accept it as a
friend it brings the peace that passes
all understanding and joys that
often make it the best part of their
lives. DOROTHY DIX.

A correspondent asks: When is
tn happiest time of woman's life?
That is question that is i'm
possible to answer definitely because
it varies with each individual. case.
Perhaps none of us know the an
swer until the end comes and we
look back over the years and assess
what they brought us and realize
that often when we were happiest
we did not even know it.
According to tradition, the hap
piest time of woman's life is be-
tween her 18th and her 25th birth
day. Poets have sung and novelists
gone into raptures over the delights
of gay, carefree girlhood. But, in
reality, it is a period of storm and
stress and fears that most women
look back upon with horror.
For the young girl is not blithe-
some being sailing joyously through
the ether on glowing clouds of pink
chiffon and feasting on strawberry
ice cream. She is a terrified little
advanturess starting out on frozen
feet to make her way in world
which she knows as little as she
does about the heart of darkest
Africa.
Brides are also traditionally happy
and the honeymoon is supposed to
be trance of bliss for them, but
virtually every woman knows that
the first year of marriage is the
hardest, and that during it she has
put on her hat dozen times and
started back to mother. She has
found out that no matter how much
she loves her husband that living
with him takes 'bit of doing" as
the English say. The shock of find
ing out that the hero of her girlish
dreams is just plain male creature,
who has temper and nerves and
tantrums, gives her a jolt from which
she never fully RECEIVERS.
Then come the busy years in
which a woman is working shoulder
to shoulder with her husband help
ing him get start in the world.

Regular Business.
Preceding the discussion of the

business of the organization was
transacted and among the items dis
cussed were the fire equipment, an

winters.
In regards to the fire equipment,

ported that certain new equipment
has been purchased and this will en-
able the village insurance rates to be
lowered. In regards to the fair, sew

skating rink there next winter for
which Mr.. Petersen offered to furnish
the water.

The Governing.
The Association is controlled by a
board made up of two from each

that each group may offer sugges-
tons to that board. The speaker said
that entire cost of disqualification
during the day-limit established by
the Association is paid, but that any
thing which is not contributable di-
rectly to recovery of the patient must
be paid for by him. The estimate is
that one out of every ten will need
disqualification during the next year
and that, therefore, is a good argu-
ment for the, plan, since the other
nine will assist in paying hospitaliza-
ton for the unfortunate one Like
wise the price of membership must
be set low enough to accommodate
everyone. At the present time the
rate is IS cents for each member and
Is cents additional for his family.
