People who wonder what our SER
vice men like about home may learn
something from those who make
greeting cards. The other day, Steve
Shannon, director OF the greeting
card industry, sent his young daugh-
ter out to a nearby Army hospital to
find out what kind of Christmas
cards the service men prefer. His
reason was that his organization
was planning again to give two mil
lion cards free to wounded men, and
he wanted to know which type of
card they like best. So Miss Shan
non got permission to visi. the wards
and talk to some of the wounded.

There is an old story I used to
hear when / was a boy about the
man who fell 90 feet and It did not
hurt him, and later on he fell two
feet and was killed. There is a mod
ern version or two of this story now,
without the sad ending. In fact, it
seems that we are growing up on
happy. endings and many are sorely
disappointed if a story, play or
movie does not end happily. Some
writers for the sake of art, pur-
posely include a terrible ending
and such is often the fate of their
creation. The San Francisco Confer
ence furnishes another comic item
in the accident lineup. 1t is said
that George McElwain, an engineer,
scaled rafters in the Opera House
there for weeks rigging up wires for
telephones, radio, ETC., without a
scratch. A few days later he fell
from a crowded San Francisco street
a and broke his arm.

Some said it was his second child
hood but William Clark, aged 100,
enjoyed it. William was missing
from the Snug Harbor Sailors Home
here for ten days and the authorities
there were beginning to feel con-
cerned about this ancient mariner.
He was finally found strolling around
Manhattan snappily dressed and in
the best of spirits. 1t developed that
William felt quite young for all his
hundred years. He had slipped out
of the sailors home. ferried to New
York, visited a radio program where
he won 500 and then proceeded to
spend it. He went to movies, mu-
seums, cut up like a kid and had a
swell time blowing in his newly
won money. When found, he was
chatting with young sailors and try
ing to talk himself into going to sea
again.

A young man and ar older were
talking, the latter seeming quite sad
and even resentful about growing
old. The younger one listened as his
elder expounded irritably about the
many things he would miss, the
change in his appearance and his
general slowing down as the years
went by. In fact, he could e no
reason, he said, in having to grow
aged and grey. Then the younger
man said something which caused
the other to look at him as if he
we're hearing a great truth for the
first time. It was the quoting of
these lines:
"Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be,
The last of life for which the first
was made.

Handmade
Gifts

It's not often these days that
you can find collection Of hand
made items such as will be on sale
today and tomorrow at ITO Con-
necticut avenue for American Re-
lief for France. In previewing this
bazaar we found ourselves earmark-
ing various items for different occa-
sions.. For your own-or some one
else's young ones birthday-there
are perfectly adorable handknit
shorts in red, white or blue, tied
with a drawstring with bright POM
poms Any child from to would
be entranced-and so would its
mother. There are cute little BROTH
er-and-sister playsuits, too, in sheer
pink and white striped cotton-sis-
ter's daintily edged with a band Of
sheer material, brothers appropri-
ately trimmed with braid. For small
and smaller sisters you can work
out sets in pale blue chambray with
novelty braid-edged pockets. And
those to whom laundry Is a problem
will be delighted to find here
checkered seersucker playsuits-red
and white or blue and white edged
with braid-very cool, cute and con-
siderate in their disregard of IRON
ing.
For gifts to adults there are fine
big shopping or beach bags, made
of heavy navy blue duck trimmed
with bright red, one with handle
made of child's skipping rope.
We can't think of more attractive
way of kidding yourself into think
ing that carrying packages is fun.
Then there are such hostess gifts
as card table covers of felt, the
most amusing trimmed with corner
applique of navy blue and white
sailor caps, pompoms and all, and
big boxes Of matches printed with
the Croix de Lorraine, which is used
decoratively for many items. Prob
ably the most appealing of all in
the array is the pure-silk, yard
square scarf with the map of
France outlined on a red and white
border, the names of the French
men inscribed to indicate the loca-
ton of the cities they put on the
map, as it were. This would make
a most happy return for anybody s
birthday. And-we remind you-all
the returns from the sale 60 to
American Relief for France. Hours,

Peas With
Onions

The French have a way OF cook
ing peas that is essentially their
own-so much so that when the
dish is served in smart restaurants
in any country, 1t is invariably
tagged "a Ia Francaise."
With Victory gardens beginning
to come into their own, young, ten
der peas soon will be q priced dish
in many household, so 1t might be
interesting to serve them in this
very delightful fashion.
Put quart of the shelled peas
into saucepan with a little butter
or margarine, 3 or tablespoons
of cold water, the heart of small
head of lettuce tied together with
sprigs of parsley and or 3 washed
and peeled spring onions. Add 2
teaspoons Of sugar and let the vge-
etables barely simmer for almost
an hour. If the peas tend to be-
come dry during the cooking, add
just enough boiling water to keep
them moist but don't drown them
Before serving, remove the lettuce
and onions and dress lightly with
a little butter and only a hint OF
salt. Use no pepper.

We'd wager that many a little
girl, of the l945 vintage, has wished
that she could wear a mammoth
hoop-skirted affair, with at least
so petticoats, in the best Scarlett
O'Hara fashion. And we'd also be
willing to bet one Of great-grand-
mothers very best petticoats that,
since practically rules out hoop
skirts for Goth century living, this
same little girl would settle for
a tour through Lee Mansion, also
known as Arlington House, the
cream -colored building overlooking
the Potomac in Arlington National
Cemetery.
For this gracious mansion is
haunted-ladies and men of an
other era stand in the shadows of
the portico, rest under the magnolia
trees that flank it, sit at the tea
tables. Amazing is the air of &C
tual habitation, from the flower
bedecked rooms to the ticking
clocks, the most notable of which
Is the grandfather's clock on the
first floor, made in Georgetown in
1901.
Bound to catch the small fry's
eye is the children's playroom on
the second floor, with its furniture
Of the bygone days reproduced
in miniature. A tiny fourposter
canopied bed is there, dolls sit
around a table bearing a small
tea set, pint-sized secretary stands
against one wall, and a small sofa,
chairs, a chest of drawers and a
travelling chest are also in evidence
Beds similar to the tiny one in
the playroom are on display in the
lovely bedrooms, high beds, with
attractive counterpanes and cano-
pies, and small ladder f1anking
the side of each bed. Pitchers
and bowls, reminiscent of the icy
fresheners necessary in the morn
ings prior to the days of modern
plumbing, stands on the tables.
On the first floor, the state din
ing room, cleaning and regal,
might we'll be in readiness for a
reception honoring one of the dis
tinguished visitors who dined there
during the years of the houses oc-
cupancy. Banked high on the
table is a mound Of roses, a beau.
tiful chandelier hangs above the
table and light reflects softly from
the polished furniture and silver
service. The state drawing room
decorated with rich wine draperies
and rug, emanates regal charm
similar to that of the dining room

they will not be greasy. Therefore
have all croquettes made up before
starting to fry and serve immedi-
ately. The fat may be used several
times, If after each time it is
strained through a fine tea strainer
kept for that purpose.
Previously cooked ham, lamb,
veal, beef and chicken may be made
into croquettes the same way. Vari-
Gus seasonings may be added as
desired, such as parsley, onion, eel
cry, etc. Also left over gravy may
be used in the cream sauce using
less milk and in the case of chicken,
the chicken fat may be used in place
of butter for the cream sauce. The
cream sauce is to hold the ingredi-
ents together and the softer it can
be handled the better when finished,
however, if too soft a few cracker
crumbs may be added. 1t is well
to remember to always use cracker
crumbs before dipping in egg, in
suring crispness and bread crumbs
after as they absorb less grease.
This should especially be used In
frying oysters. Homemade crumbs
are preferable to commercial ones
and easily made by putting dry
bread and crisp crackers through
finest knife or food chopper or
crushing with rolling pin.

An imaginative child may feel,
upon looking into the family par
lor, that the master and mistress
of the house have been here quite
recently. and may return momen-
tarily. Lying on the secretary is an
open book, with reading glasses
carefully folded upon it. A sampler
under glass stands to one side.
Chairs grouped around a table set
with a tea set, and decked with
flowers, await occupancy. Under
the center arch between this room
and the family dining room Robert
E. Lee married Mary Gusts.
Also on the first floor is the sew
ing and school room, where small
fry can take consolation in the fact
that learning the three RS is not
confined to this day and age. An
old reader lies open on a table, a
spinning wheel stands in one cor
ner and settled on the floor near
the fireplace is an old wooden globe.
In the basement of the north
wing of the house is the winter
kitchen" just as a servant might
have left it years ago, complete
with old wooden washtubs, huge
pots hanging over the fireplace and
old utensils sitting on a table.

Dorothy Dix Says

1t appears that the teen-agers do
not now speak Of certain events in
human history as having taken place
place So-and-so A. D. or B. c. They
say it happened 'B. B. s." or ID. B.
S." which being interpreted means
before bobby socks" or during
bobby socks"
This method of designating time
probably will not upset the calendar
and might be passed lightly over as
one of the vagaries of youth, were 1t
not for the fact that it has produced
a near panic among so many parents
whose children already were bab-
bling jargon they could not under
stand. They are apprehensive that
this last addition to their vocabulary
indicates that they have gone in
sane.
II used to think that my young
sters were unusually intelligent"
writes one perturbed mother to me ;,
but now when Sammy demands a
new bicycle because his old one dates
back to B. B. S. and Betty asks me
II expect her to wear the same hat
she has had all D. B. S., can but
wonder If they have been stricken
with some terrible mental disease.
I don't know whether to give them a
good spanking or take them to
psychiatrist."
To this mother and the many
other mothers who are going through
the same ordeal with their Adde'S
cent youngsters, would say: Do
neither. Just relax and pray Heaven
to send you patience and sense Of
humor.
And, above all, do little memory
work. Think back to the time when
you were teen-ager yourself and
you will recall that you did prac-
ticaly all of the foolish, funny
things that your children. are doing
now. Even to making up a language
that did awful things to the diction-
ary, only you didn't call 1t bobby
socker talk then, you called 1t pig
Latin.
Try to remember how avid you
were for pleasure when you were
very young, and how you thought
you would just lie down and die be-
cause there was no use in trying to
live in a world so full of sorrows, If
it rained so you couldn't 60 to the
picnic. If you do, you won't keep
Betty home from the party because
she has the sniffles. You will wrap
her up and let her go and have the
thrill that only comes to us once in
q lifetime.
Remember your first date and how
stiff and self-conscious you and the
boy were when he came to call on
you and how tongue-tied you were
when you tried to think of some
thing to talk about? If you do, you
will not put Betty and Sammy
through that ordeal. You will make
Papa read his paper in the dining
room, put little brother to bed and
clear the premises so they will know
that nobody is listening in on them
Remember your first love affair
and how you saw some freckle faced
lad as fairy prince, and how you
tied up lock Of his hair with q blue
ribbon and hung it on your dresser,
and how you wrote each other
mushy notes, although you saw each
other every day at school? II you
do, you won't tease Betty about It,
make q funny story Of the shy secret
she has whispered to you or give
her curtain lecture when she asks
you II boy ever kissed you. You
would walk reverently because you
would know you are on holy ground.

TIP ON TOES-Now that open
toed shoes and sandals-not to men
ton summer activities-have barred
toes to public view, we like to tell
our friends about a handy little
gadget that streamlines the bust
ness of doing professional pedicure
cuticle pusher that carries its own
quota of cuticle oil in the barrel,
The tip of the gadget is a plastic
pusher which releases drop of oil
the minute you touch it to the nail.
In a jiffy, the oil softens the cuticle
which you can then shape and re-
move without having to resort to
cutting which, as you should know,
is bad stuff at any time. Then all
you do is push away the dead cuticle
with tissue or towel. Easy, isn't it?

TIME SAVER The drying out
time in most manicures is terrific
nuisance and, If you're like us, your
impatlence sometimes gets the best
of you. They should be dry" you
say to yourself, and go blithely
about turning the pages Of book,
picking up telephone, etc., only 10
find that you had misjudged your
time and the nails smudgability.
The answer for us impatient ones
is an amazing double-quick clear
liquid nail polish dryer which you
brush on thinly over the polish after
you have given the polish one min
ute to set. Once over lightly, please,
for this because too much pressure
may mar the polish surface and slow
down the dryer. After letting this
set another so seconds, you stroke
off the eXcess-gently-with finger
tip or ball of thumb (NOT tissue,
cotton or cloth) smoothing it back
towards the base of the nail where
it will do bit of a lubricating job
at the same time.
