Poultney
BigeIow Plans
New Book
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK, May 25.-I hear
the venerable Poultney Bigelow
who lives in the Bigelow home
stead, overlooking the Hudson at
Maiden. n. Y. with nary a
thought for New York society.
is at work polishing off a sequel
h his autobiography after
Seventy Summers"
Mr.. Bieelow. whose father
was ambassador to France UNI
der Lincoln. now Is in his eighty
sixth year, and gossip has his
new tome. which has been SUBJ
mitted 10 certain publishers,
too hot for the presses.
Poultney Bigelow never was
one TO mince words. or avoid
facts. He's been calling a spade
a spade for years. But his
latest manuscript outstrips, ac-
cordinG to rumor, anything he
has whipped up in the past.
No one in this country knew
the lake Kaiser Wilhelm of Ger
many more intimately than did
Poultney Bieelow. They were
boyhood chums and after the
kaiser'S exile, Poultney Bigelow
made annual visits TO Doom.
IN THE Bigelow library at
Mathematician are rows of
steel letter eases containing Mr..
Bigelow's correspondence with
the kaiser and other members of
the Hohenzellern family. The
cases are tightly locked and
Poultney Bigelow has decreed
they cannot be opened until
after his death.
Al the time of the Poultney
Bigelow domestic debacle years
and years ago, Mr.. BigeloWs
daughters more or less sided
with their mother, who went TO
London to live as Mrs. -Jaffray
Bigelow.
Those daughters, today. are
Mrs. Bigelow Clark, one of New
ports distinguished social fig
urcs. Mrs. BERTHE" Pell, whose
husband is in our diplomatic
service and Mrs. T. Raymond
Holland. who once aspired 10 a
foot-light career.
THE TRANSATLANTIC tele-
phone call which Ware Lynch
made the other day TO Lisbon,
Portugal. was the first time in
three years he has talked with
his sister, Mrs. Paul Getty!
And l need hardly say what
a thrill it was for him to hear
from her own lips that she is
we'll and healthy, and sailing for
America a few days hence in the
Drottningholm, with a contin-
gent of diplomats, newspaper
men, etc.
What stories Teddy Lynch
Getty will have TO tell when she
returns TO America. For she
spent the past three years in
Italy-and saw Fascist condi-
tions at first hand.

Food Value

Lettuce belongs 10 the family
of green, leafy vegetables Of
which we should have one kind
a day, more If possible. Green
lettuce is a good source of caro-
tene, which the body can change
into vitamin A. II is also a good
source OF iron and calcium.
In general, the thinner and
greener the leaf, the better
source ii is Of these two min
erals. Bleached lettuce con-
tributes most Of these same food
values, but it rates considerably
lower in the minerals.
Like all leafy green's, lettuce
keeps best in a cool. moist place.
After bringing into the kitchen,
wash drain. then store in COW
cred vegetable pan.
II is usually best not TO cut
up this green any sooner than
necessary. The exposed por-
tionS make a convenient exit for
vitamin c. Also after exposure
TO air, lettuce sometimes be-
comes tinged with a reddish
brown over the cut surface. It's
still good for eating, but the
appearance is not so attractive.
To Separate
If you wish TO use in individ-
ual cups for a salad, remove the
core from the head with sharp
pointed knife. Hold under cold
running water so that the
stream will fall where the core
has. been removed. The leaves
will then slip off easily :.
each leaf separate, whole and
unbroken.
With lettuce abundant, try II
cooked for a change. Here's
how 10 make the tasty old-fash-
toned wilted kind TO serve
