OUR SCOUTS SUGGEST
For that sparkling cool table dur
ing hot weather use the new lucite
cutlery. The tines of the fork are
sterling silver and the blade of the
knife is stainless steel. Definitely
new and smart.
A cocktail party in the late after
noon is delightful way of enter
tanning. At the next one serve your
guests with individual hOrs d'oeuvres
plates that are square and made
with convenient handle. These
are especially nice for the summer
months as they are made of heavy
pottery with Italian blue lines and
gay field flowers.
A pair of very delicate mauve
Venetian glass vases in cornucopia
shape are lovely, and unusual for
a wedding gift.
An interesting cigarette box is
fashioned of wood with many mar
row panels that open and close to
music. AS the panels open each
has container that will hold
about six cigarettes. Certainly a
novelty.
A silver muddler with a spoon on
one end is very nice odd piece
to add to the brides silver serv-
ice.
Men and boys who like to carry
a penknife with them would well
come one of the single blade sports
knives that are so popular at the
moment.
Give your best beau a birthday
present of new leather cigarette
case. One type may be had with
a tiny gold frame into which you.
fit two initials. Just select the lat
ters, slip them into place, and

Tall chimney highball glasses of
heavy green or cobalt blue are
new and should be most attractive
for serving refreshments on the
porch.
A key chain with a crystal ball
on one end to hold q tiny snap
shot picture of your girl is truly
lots of fun to own. She will be
thoroughly complimented, as a key
chain is one thing you always have
with you.
Just the thing for the knitter
who can never keep that ball of
wool under control is a white metal
container that is flat on one side,
SO that it will sit on the floor or
a table. You can pull the yarn
and spin the ball to your hearts
content and yet it must remain in
the same spot instead Of taking a
tour around the room.

Answer ..
1t all depends on many things,
including what kind of a house
you like, where you like to live, if
restoration appeals to you, and any
number of other points. 1t will
probably cost as much to do over
the old house as it would to build
new one. but you will have charm,
distinction, good building and fine
location to offset that. You could
string the work out over several
years, but the first survey and money
spent will have to go into structural
repair, sanitation, plumbing, heating
and the like. They are also the
most expensive details. Then you
can do over a floor or a room at
time, once you have attended to the
necessities which make daily living
comfortable. You will have to spend
time on the spot with a building
contractor who can tell you about
structural conditions of the house,
heating and plumbing engineers for
estimates, and, above all. an archi-
tect Is required to plan your doing
over" for you. This is as dis
couraging as I can make it, but I
can only say that If I were you,
I wouldn't miss the chance of doing
the job for anything in the world.
It is more fun than building a new
house, and after the first month
of work you will willingly make
sacrifices for the Joy of restoring
fireplace or an old stairway.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We are papering the small room
in our attic. This has dormer
windows and there does not seem
to be any place for the wall paper
to stop and the ceiling to begin.
What should we do to make the
room look right?
H. G.L.
Answer:
You may either drop your plain
ceiling down so that the wallpaper
looks more like a panel around the
room, or better than that, carry the
wallpaper up and over the ceiling.
This was often done in the slant
rooted rooms in New England houses
and gives a most attractive appear

So, you should plan on a main
dish that can be prepared early in
the day, and tucked away in the re-
frigerator until needed. Hot soup is
easy to manage, using canned varie-
ties, and if you serve it in little pot
terry bowls with tops, accompanied
by french bread and a big bowl of
iced radishes, carrot sticks, spring
onions, celery and olives, you're
halfway through the battle. Then
bring on your main dish-which can
be a two-in-one, or even three-in-
one affair. and let your conscience
be your guide as to dessert-depend-
ing upon the nature of the main
course you have selected. AS rule,
you won't really need any dessert
at ALL but you could keep cake
on hand. just in case! Mixed fruit,
with dash of Kirsch or creme de
menthe, is always good, If fruit
hasn't appeared in another form on
the menu. And ice cream from the
corner store, packed in dry ice, is
about the simplest thing there is!
Here are few recipes for that
main dish upon which so much
depends. All of these may be made
early in the day, and forgotten until
1t is time to serve them. In some
Of them leftovers are successfully dis

A Day With Churchill
He Gives Full Measure Of Toll and Sweet
His H-Hour Days Wear Out 10 Secretaries
Ry HUGH WAGNON.


LONDON Correspondence of
the Associated Press. - Winston
Churchill is giving full measure Of
the blood and tears, toll and sweat"
which he told Britain were all he
had to offer wnen became the en-
pire's war leader.
The vigorous 66-year-old Prime
Minister lives to win the war.
He bends every moment to war
service, wasting hardly minute or
thought on anything but that para
mount object to which he is devot-
ing the wide experience, great tai
ent and contagious energy with
which he seems able to endoW the
whole empire.
He works an average of II hours
. day at this task.
Churchill keeps 10 secretaries on
the run, confers daily with the war
cabinet and other key ministers. AS
his own defense minister he keeps
In closest touch with developments
and strategy in every corner of the
empire, every phase of the imperial
war effort.
From the time he arises-usually
at about 7 annie expends his
prodigious energy without a letup
until he finally gets to bed, gen.
orally about midnight, but some
times as late rs am.
No Time for Amusements.
There is no time in his crowded
day for amuSementS. Even his en-
toyment of the parliamentary give
and-take in the House of Commons
has been curtailed. Frequently he
is absent, leaving his deputy, Glenn
ent R. Atlee, lord privy seal, to
answer questions in his behalf.
Churchill has little time for ordi-
nary family life, but he sees Mrs.
Churchill every day and the rest
Of the family ''as much as possible. :"
There are frequent family dinners.
Since even Prime Minister must
eat. he makes use of luncheons
and dinners to see many persons he
otherwise could not accommodate
on his calendar.
Many people, however, see him
every day-"too many to remember" !"
a secretary says. The war cabinet
meets before luncheon, and a parade
of generals. admirals, air marshals
and intelligence officers lasts
throughout the afternoon and often
Into the night
Churchill gets no regular exercise
except that of striding about White
hall or walking tirelessly on tours
of inspection of fighting commands,
defense areas and bombed sectors.
He wants to see for himself.
Works Like a Beaver.
To sum it up, an aide says. He
works like beaver; duty gives him
no alternative
Incessant work has even forced
reduction OF the Prime Minister'S
cigar smoking. He now consumes
about six long Havanas a day in
stead of the 10 or a dozen in less
urgent times.
AS First Lord of the Admiralty
the post he held during the World
War and resumed at the start of the
present hostili ities-Churchill lived
at Admiralty House, a few steps
from the Admiralty itself. A tele-
Evening star., 1940-12-30

On matters involving major policy
he digs to the bottom himself, evolv-
ing minute instructions which he
insists must be followed to the let
ter.
Churchill employed as many as
half a dozen secretaries during his
private life, so it Is easy to see why
he would need 10 Of them now-all
Of the kind President Roosevelt was
looking for when he sought men
with "a passion for anonymity"
Churchill generally Is considered
easy to work with, but his temper
flares awesomely when he is dis
pleased.
Slashes Red Tape.
He is ordinarily conservative in
routine matters, bat liberal in out
look, and likes to slash red tape"
when 1t hampers direct action.
/ In an effort to speed tedious gov
ernmental machinery he instituted
q system OF stickers' bearing the
label "for action this day"-which
means exactly that. And woe to
those who fail to act at once on
documents bearing this urgent COM
mand.
The two women, secretaries take
turns in keeping up with his dicta-
tion, which is apt to erupt any time
He has been known suddenly to call
them at a late hour and start a
rush of work.
He speaks rapidly, meanwhile
breaking matchsticks into bits and
throwing them about on the floor.
Sometimes he jumps to his feet to
emphasize a point, then bounces
back into his chair.
At table he eats what he can
and his plate is catholic. One OF his
favorite dishes is famous, "the
roast beef of old England" He also
enjoys a thick steak, rare.
At luncheon with a group. he
slouches comfortably in a chair,
eats and talks at the same time. He
generally monopolizes talk during a
meal If he is interested. If bored
he squirms restlessly in oppressive
silence. alarming to dinner partner
or hostess. But his quick smile al
ways wins forgiveness.
Seldom Sees Press.
He seldom sees the press. He
made an exception of one Ameri-
can correspondent. with whom he
talked for 80 minutes OF the record,
and the subsequent uproar from
the empire press representatives in
London caused him to grant an off,
record luncheon for all.
His secretaries are almost as in
accessible as Churchill himself, for
they respect his wishes and fear
his displeasure.
