Most Seek
Society. But
He Shuns It
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE
complete withdrawal of Her.
mann OelrichS from the social
ranks che rarely makes Mayfair
appearances these days or
nights is best diagnosed by
George Jean Nathan in his new
book. The Bachelor Life"
Under the section devoted to
"the social whirl" MIR. Nathan
writes;
"My friend, Hermann Oelrichs.
who was born into fashionable
society and who has spent his
life assiduously trying TO get
out. .....
There is something for the
climbers 10 ponder over.
They've probably never looked
upon society as a prison. d
barbed-wire enclosure or a deep,
dark pit.
However. to the son of the
late "TcSsle" OelrichS. Mayfair
Is all three rolled into one. Yet,
there are few people more
Subtly class conscious than Her.
mann. who no longer possesses
that vast wealth associated with
the name of OelrichS.
These are strange times, when
money-bags seem to be playing
a game of chess on the social
board-what with Astors having
a Vanderbilt home. Vanderbilts
possessing an OelrichS yacht and
Goulds entrenched in abodCs
formerly owned by Belmonts!
You cant help but marvel at
Lady Decies.
The former Bessie" DreXel
Dahlgren Lehr plays about with
all social sets-and apparently
gets away with it. One day
you'll hear of her lunching with
a hostess firmly entrenched III
the social world.
That same night she'll more
than likely be the guest of honor
at dinner party given by Il
hostess who has her foot IN
only the lowest rung of the
social ladder"
Not so long ago. when some
one asked the witty and indie
pendent daughter of the late
Joseph w. DreXel why she
mixed about with so many new
corners in society. she tartly
replied:
II heard everything my old
friends had to say for them
selves years agO-nOw l want
to listen to some new chatter"

Budget, Bud ge+-Who Has Best Recipes?
Detroit Times Offers Cash Prizes

woman who says they have a
chance to buy a house a
cute little house that she wants
badly enough TO put herself on a
rigid budget for six months.
She proposes to pay S39 house
payment. heat, light. gas. tele-
phone and food on SIS a month
She has it all figured down TO
the last penny, leaving SIS a
month for food for three, the
third being a little girl.
That is about Sc week. I'm
going to do it." she said, "or
bust for it's the only way
we can have the house Never
budgeted in her life before, she
says but she wants that
house.
At the end of the six months
they will have paid back the
down payment, and the going
will be easier, but then there
will be things needed for the
new house, and we wouldn't be
surprised if she keeps right on
budgetlng
No Disgrace
Funny thing about budgeting,
some people seem to think II
disgrace to count the pennies.
No such thing. A woman may
well be proud of her thrift. Big
industries hire experts TO go
over their books with a fine
tooth comb to determine how to
cut costs. = If they bought as
careleSsly as some women run
their home. there'd be nothing
left for dividends for stock
holders.
Be your own expert in cutting
costs. and your own expert in
making the most of what your
food allowance will buy by
being the best cook in the land.
Cash Prizes
Because we know many De-
troib homemakers are good
cooks, we're asking them 10
send IN their favorite recipes
TO share them with other women
who are in this business of
homemaking.
It's a contest. ladies with
s. for first prize, So for second.
81 for third E. and 10 81 prizes.
We want recipes for soups,
stews, new ways to bake beans,
spaghetti, macaroni and rice d.
recipes for buildings. cakes.
cookies and other good things
and recipes for dishes espe-
cially suitable for children.
Come on now. girls. We've
got Mrs. Jones on a pretty strict
food budget. Don't let her
down without recipes to make it
work. That means you, too,

Dies of Stroke
|nMianni Beach

Word of the sudden death last
night at Miami Beach. Fla. of
Mrs. Louis J. Colombo Sr., wife of
one of Detroit's most widely
known attorneys. shocked rela-
tives and friends who just two
weeks ago saw the couple off on
what was to have been a months
vacation.
Mrs. Colombo's health had been
good when she left and news that
she had suffered a heart attack
and had been taken to a hospital
last Monday had been withheld
from relatives here by Colombo.
An hour before she died, Mrs.
Colombo talked to her sons and
daughter over the phone from her
hospital bed in Miami. but pur-
posefully kept from them knowl-
edge that she was critically i'll.
A week ago she had made a.
rangements for the telephone
conversation and even though she
was taken to the hospital three
days ago, she would not permit
anything to interfere with the long
distance reunion.
She gayly chatted with her chill
dren and at no time mentioned her
illness. They did not even know
she was in the hospital until news
of her death reached here.
Born Irene Mckinney SO years
ago in Detroit, Mrs. Colombo
taught school in the years before
her marriage in 1911. and until
the past few years has been active
in the Palmer Park Garden Club
and Catholic circles. at one time
being an officer of the League of
Catholic Women.
She is survived by three chill
dren, Louis J. Jr.. an attorney
associated with his father in the
law firm, Colombo, Colombo &
Colombo; Peggy and Frederick;
and two sisters. Mrs. Thomas w.
Thompson and Miss Rachael Nc
Kinney, district principal in the
Detroit school system, both of
546S Stanton avenue.
Plans for the funeral will be
completed today.
Mrs. Colombo lived at 1924
Strathcona drive.
