these do much to establish the
soundness of all these dishes. Still,
again, as with the oil and the garlic,
the wine may be disregarded, but
again as with the oil and the garlic,
the splendid individuality of the
dish is lost However, each to his
own taste! I can only suggest,
When this sauce has been cooked
into a neat and composite entity,
with all f1avors properly incor-
porated, then, placing the chicken
upon the serving platter, pour this
sauce over it, garnishing with parsley
or water cress.
For a piquant side dish you will
have taken halves of firm tomatoes,
covered with bread crumbs and but
ter, and held under the broiler for
a few minutes. They must be
cooked tender, but not soft.
Should potatoes be desired, then
hashed in cream or mashed will be
in order. And for the salad, with as
rich dish as this, plain lettuce.
torn with the fingers and dressed
with Oil and lemon juice, salt and
pepper will prove correct.
The sweet may be simple, but
easily prepared and interesting. In
these busy days one can hardly
take time to prepare the more in
tricate desserts. So for today may
we simply take well-selected oranges,
cut off the upper quarter and hollow
out the pulp. Clean the shell well.
Dice the orange meat and set aside
for a moment. Or the shells may
be prepared and the diced orange
placed in the refrigerator until re-
quired When dessert is to be served
fill each orange shell three e-fourths
full of vanilla ice cream or orange
water ice. Then heap each shell
with the diced orange. If you like,
you might chop up and add little
fresh mint to the orange meat be-
fore heapipg into the shells.
To conclude this pleasant little
dinner, have ready small. fiat
basket in which you have arranged
three or four kinds of cheeses-of
varying degrees of flrmness and
power, to suit all tastes. Toasted
rolls or slices of French or rye bread
provide interest. And small cups of
coffee may we'll be slipped slowly to
make them last.

Manners
of the
Moment

You might as well face it. It's
going to be after-d dinner water from
now on, unless you ask each guest
to bring his own tablespoonful of
coffee with him.
If you should have enough coffee,
by any chance, to serve to your
guests you're going to have to have
an awfully good excuse to give out.
It's going to be difficult for your
company to believe that you gave
up your breakfast coffee in order to
be a perfect pre-war hostess.
You better break the ice right now
for every one in your crowd and
serve ice water when you retire to
the living room. That will set the
new style in entertaining and no
one else will have to worry after
that.
And when it comes to week ends
with friends. which involve a break
fast or two, my advice to both host
ess and guest would be to have it
clearly understood that he who
wants coffee brings his own.

In a way Paine's life was a typical
American success story, and in way, a
typical story of American failure. Paine
went up like rocket. For awhile he was
the most popular man in America Nine
years later he was despised and hated,
and six years after this sudden about
face, in 1902, when he returned to Amer
lea he received the final insult-he was
refused the right to vote as an American
citizen.
For the first 81 years of his life Paine
was an obscure man. He was born in
Thetford, England, in 1877, of Quaker
parents. His father was a stay-maker.
a corset maker. Paine had little formal
education, his father was too poor to
afford much schooling, but he did in
culcate in his son the love of reading,
and Quakers, in those days, were thought-
full folk. Paine for few years exhib-
tied the restlessness that later on was
to distinguish him; for little while
he was a sailor, an excise officer in a
time when smuggling made that an ex-
citing profession, and then for a period

the business ONCE on the west was q va
riety theater. In this old building The
Evening Star made rapid strides to the
front. 1t prospered as never before.
The counting room was narrow and on
one side was q long counter that ex-
tended to the rear. where were located
the of1ices Of the owners and the busi-
ness manager. The pressroom was still
farther back and under the stage of the
theater. On the second floor Of tho
building, over the business ONCE and the
music store and auction room. were tho
ofaces Of the editors and reporters.
There was an entrance from Eleventh
street, with stairwsys leading to the sec
ond and third floors, the latter Of which
was used for the composing room.

and cases were arranged near the win

That is why it is so interesting that,
under the stress, and impetus, of present
events, Paine is coming once again into
his own, after $50 years Of neglect and
misunderstanding and insult. That is
why it is significant that more and more
people are beginning to recognize him as
one Of the so or so truly great Americans,
Honors Thrust Upon Him
With the end of the revolution, honor
after honor was thrust upon him; Con-
gress voted him $4,000, a large sum of
money in those days; the State OF New
York granted him 300 acres near New
Rochelle; but by 1857, man of so, Paine
was off for England, the country he had
deserted l3 years before. Hunted out of
England because of his revolutionary
ideas, he eventually fed to France and
became Deputy to the new French
Congress.
Then he did tactless and foolish
thing, and before that he had done
reckless thing. Had 1t not been for the
latter, he might have escaped with the
former. But he was not tactful man and
when he was angry he could write scorch-
ing and bitter and unfair sentences.
Languishing in French prison, in dan
ger OF imminent death, and feeling that
the American government was making no
attempt to rescue him, he wrote in l776.
MS famous. or rather, infamous, letter
to Washington accusing Washington of
Torylsm and unmitigated vanity.
You can't accuse q national idol at the
neignt OF his popularity and expect ap-
plause. America repudiated Paine as It
nad once honored him. But by now the
age OF Reason" had been published and
ralne was open to the attacks of the re-
dictionary. the overpious, and the lovers
OF the status quo. His Letter to WASH
1ne1on' ahenated his friends. BY now the
"noie world was against him.
The Age Of Reason" is not a defense
OF atnelsm. Paine was a deist an 18th
century humanist. He believed firmly in
1od ana a future life. but he did not
oeneve IN miracles or mystery or revealed
religion or the church.
A Great Servant
Paine has been dead 1873 years, and we
can begin to forget the unjust obloquy
cast upon him In the recent turn OF
events which now at long last is restor-
Ing him to his proper place. All we need
to remember is what he did In the dark
days Of the American Revolution to make
this country. and what he perceived
Evening star., 1942-08-23

democracy to be, both Of which have an
immediate and overwhelmingly 1mpor.
tant meaning for us today.
Paine was "the spark plug" Of the
American Revolution. In the beginning,
by his writings, he made the issue clear
when other equally ardent Americans,
were still in doubt, still confused, still
hopeful that some compromise could be
made with the forces of tyranny.
Paine knew better. He knew by In.
tuition and logic that you cannot ap-
pease tyranny. Like Patrick Henry, only
repeatedly, and with all the forces of
reasoning, he said, Give me liberty or
give me DEATH" And he sait this IL,
simple and direct language. His, words
ran like great fire though the Ameri-
can Colonies.
1t was tremendous. Paine's pamphlets
were sold by the thousands One day
there was discussion and hesitation and
doubt, the next. decision and revolution
But that was only the beginning. Tho
American Revolution lasted eight years,
and during those eight years there was
little but defeat and Disappointment.
For every Saratoga there were a dozen
valley Forges, dozen battles of Long
Island. The faint hearted fell away.
Ragged, weary, hopelessly outnumbered,
held together by the huge. indomitable
shadow OF the patient Washington, the
American armies fought on, and it was
Paine who supplied the words that took
hold Of mems hearts. and the argu-
ments that made them strong:
Ahead of His Time
these are the times that try mems
souls" He spoke contemptuously OF
summer patriots" Nor, as usual, was
he man not to suit his actions to his
theories; for awhile he served on the
stan Of Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
But there is more to Paine's vision
even than that. He perceived the outer.
furtherest edges OF democracy decades
before any one else did. He perceived
that democracy, like any great articu-
that 1t must grow, expand and improve
itself or else die; that 1t cannot stand
still. And instinctively as shown by his
actions, he perceived that democracy
cannot live In world with another sys-
tenn, system that is destructive.
He knew that tyranny, cruelty, the
demeaning OF the individual were against
the laws Of man and God. and he knew
that there would come day when they
could no longer exist side by side with
freedom.

By Struthers Burt.

Thomas Paine was feet, 10, lean and
man If one Is to judge by Romney's
portrait and the portrait painted, when
he was younger, for his friend Henry
Laurens. president of the Continental
Congress. And then there is that bust
in the New York Historical Society carved
by John Wesley Jarvis, nephew of John
Wesley. the great Methodist. with whom
Paine lived for awhile after his return
to America in 1902
BY that time the old eagle was ill,
worn by years of struggle and misfortune
and misunderstanding. s4ad a long term
in a French rCison, but the strong
pointed or1ln is there, and the arched,
inquiring eyebrows, now grown shaggy,
and the ouizzical mouth, the lower lip
full and the corners going up, the direct
look of the dark and luminous eyes.
There is something similar in that
bust Of the later Washington and the
later Voltaire. Old and gallant men
are likely to come to resemble each
other.
Paine was a believer in God and a
future life. and said so plainly in his
age OF Reason" the great controver-
sial work which got him into SO much
trouble, and which he wrote late in life
when he was in France. For awhile,
speaking little French, not understand
ing it much, he was a member of the
Revolutionary Chamber of Deputies; for
awhile, prisoner Of that same Chamber
when Robespierre came to power He
-Paine-the perpetual rebel the foun-
tain head of the American Revolution,
had baked at unnecessary bloodshed
He had voted against the execution of
Louis the XVI. 1t is nice to think of
an American, standing up and doing
that. BY the merest chance he missed
being guillotined.
Nor was he unclean In his habits, or
writings, or appearance.

he became stay-maker himself mar
ried, and seemed to have settled down.
1t is amusing to think of Paine as
corset maker, he who disliked restraint
Of any kind.
Before long, however he managed to
get up to London, and there he attended
science lectures and gradually met vari-
GUS people who were attracted to him
because Of his conversation and ideas.
Among these was Benjamin Franklin,
then the representative of the Ameri-
can Colonies in London. In 1774 Frank
lin persuaded Paine to sail for Phila-
delphia to take charge of Franklin's S
Pennsylvania Magazine. Immediately
Paine found his niche. He loved Amer
lea; he saw that here was the natural
home of democracy, and he more than
any other man, more even than Jeffer-
son, understood what democracy meant
and foresaw its immense implications;
implications that are beginning to be
visible today implications that a great
fiany Americans are still unaware of or
still deny.

Stone carried on the business OF engrav-

who were employed on the Washington

ployes Il The Evening Star recall wildly
the stoFt6s that were told OF the cholera
scare In the days that The Evening Star
made It's home there.
Stone needed only a portion of the
building for his own business, and before
The Evening Star moved it had been the
home OF two printing offices. For some
time Mrs. Richardson used the upper
rooms and the rear building as board
ing house. Several Senators and Repre-
sentatives made their headquarters there
when Congress was in session.
When The Evening Star became q
tenant OF the building there was a mu-
sic store on the corner. Next to this was
