Neither Regions
By Marearef NoceH

A handy wife and q handy hus-
band can produce an extra room in
the cellar in short order. Though
you may not care TO live in it-or
even develop it for 4 recreation
room-it can be fixed up to be just
what it was intended to be, a good
cellar, storage room and workshop,
instead of junk shop covered with
SCOT and cobwebs.
Maybe your cellar is dark and
damp, maybe it's Uttered with all
sorts Of trash, plus the coal bin, the
ash can and the heating plant.
The cellar embodies at least 10
per cent Of the cost OF the average
home. It's construction represents
good building and a large area
which should be made to pay divi-
dends. Every household needs a
spot in which to put things, and
the basement is often the coolest
and most comfortable place to work
undisturbed at those odd jobs which
are necessary to keep the house a
going organization.
If the floor is rough cement,
paint it with deck paint. This
paint is tough, fills the pores of
the cement and stops for all time
the minute chipping of raw con-
crete which creates dust. If the
floor Is brick. have it scrubbed anAA
sanded. r
Most Of us would never dream Of
doing without closets, shelves and
hooks upstairs-yet the cellar is
often a hodge-podge OF things set
IN corners and draped over pipes.
First Of all, install a bright cleo
trio light. and take a look around.
Decide where you want shelves for
preserve jars, and other items which
are called for but once or twice a
year. Set up a screen rack in the
out OF the way corner, where the

delicious. She also said they were

To Mrs. E. B., Silver Spring, my

recipe. How it carried me back to
my childhood! My grandmother
made a shortcake that tasted lust
like that one. I have also made up
the recipe and used canned sliced
peaches and found 1t very tasty.
Berries were so terribly high this
year, and then the season is so short.

Several years ago we had some for
luncheon at a hotel at Virginia

JOY in the evening paper! Even my
husband reads it and hints about

I am submitting recipe for iced
tea which requires no boiling, ex-
cept of water, of course. This was
requested by some one recently.
Ingredients: ]. cup tea. p cup
sugar Cor less if desired. 2 lemons
SLICED very thin, 4 cups boiling
water.
Using agate kettle or crockery
bowl (do not use aluminum), some
thing with cover TO f1t it, pour
boiling water over tea in same, let
steep minutes, add sugar, stirring
until dissolved, then lemons, cover,
and let set all night (preferredD or
all day. I make 1t at night and fix
it for the refrigerator first thing in
the morning. Remove tea from bowl,
straining into another bowl or ket-
tie, add a quart Of cold water and
store in ice box in bottles. This
makes 2 quarts and is strong enough
to be poured over cubes in glasses
when served. Milky look when cold
does not harm tea.
I hope this recipe is the type
desired by the reader.

The traditional Thanksgiving
breakfast given by Mrs. Edward
Beale Mclean, was, as always, one
Of those brilliant affairs. for which
Friendship has been noted since this
annual fete was begun many years
ago by the late Mr.. and Mrs. John
r. Mclean.
One of the interesting things
about the party Thursday was the
large number of guests who have
breakfasted at Friendship on
Thanksgiving Day for so many years
that they have become almost as
traditional as the party itself. Many
of those at the breakfast this year
are numbered among the older
friends of the hostess and have en-
joyed on many former occasions
the hospitality of the original
Friendship on Wisconsin avenue
where the first in the series of an
nual breakfasts was given.
There were, of course, scores of
newcomers among the guests as well
as scores of diplomats, officials and
residents who have become familiar
figures in Washington during the
past few years, and even though
entertainment Is generally less Law
ish now than in prewar days, there
were no fewer guests at the break
fast than on former occasions.
Mrs. McLean's house guest, Lady
Mendl, was the honoree at the
party, and noted in the company
we're: His Britannia Majesty's AM
bassador and Lady Halifax, with
their son, the Hon. Richard Wood ;
the Brazilian Ambassador and Sem
