That Chicken MarengO!

with "poulet Marengo," for which,
I've heard, Dunan received a medal.
Today's chicken Marengo is mucn
the same but a little more elegant.
When I make it cut the chicken
up, of course, and brown the pieces
in good olive oil. Don't use any
thing else for this. If you can't get
real olive oil. skip the dish)
I add salt, pepper, a wee bit OF
garlic and a bouquet of parsley,
thyme and bay leaf. cover the pot
and let the chicken cook slowly
until it is almost tender, then I
sprinkle it with a little flour-not
much-stir, moisten with a glass
of white wine, a couple of spoonfuls
of tomato paste and few peeled
I let all cook together
for about five or six minutes, then
remove the garlic, let cook few
minutes longer until the mushrooms
are tender. Then serve the chicken
on a hot platter. covered with the
sauce and garnished with toast
points and parsley.

Whats YOUR Hobby?

Story telling is an ancient busi-
ness. People have long enjoyed
spinning fine yarn" passing down
through the years the traditions,
folk lore, history of the race. Com
petition for the story teller is a
little keener now than it was CEN
turies ago radio and the mo-
ton picture have definitely estab-
lished themselves. But the charm
of the story told directly from one
person to another has managed to
survive. Locally, the torch is be-
ing carried by the Washington Story
League, composed of women who
make hobby of serving through
story telling.
One of their members will tell
the Christmas Story tonight to the
children at Barney Neighborhood
House. They also are regular guests
at the Industrial Home for Girls,
the Christ Child Society, the chill
dren at Gallinger Hospital, the
Aged Woman's Home, and the Bap-
tist Home. In addition to this, they
answer special calls, telling stories
to book clubs, church groups, and
so forth
A variety of stories comprises
the story teller's repertoire. The
teller "slants" her story to the
group to whom she is speaking and
is influenced in her choice by the
season in which the story is told.
The audience ranges from story
loving children to story-loving old
sters.
Each. story teller has her own
method of building her stock Of
stories, and develops her own tech
niques. One of the members OF
the league has her eye out con-
stantly in her reading for stories that
will be entertaining in the telling
She also writes occasional charac.

that there are certain ingredients
which are apt to produce good story
telling-enthusiasm in the telling, a
touch of humor and certain
warmth, and pleasing rhythm. Each
story teller brings to her audience
her own personality, through stories
that appeal to her, and through her
own specific way of delivering them.
Interesting is the fact that prac-
tically all of the women In the
Washington Story League are en-
ployed They meet once a month
at the YWCA, where they have a
program built around story telling.
They also have a workshop, where
they practice story telling, discuss
technique, learn selection of stories
and adaptation. They also learn
more about the use of the voice,
and modultion. Some of the women
have actual training in story telling
there's a course being offered now
at the YWCA, 1.-The Art of Story
Telling" taught by Mrs. H. Lyle
Campbell, one of the members Of
the league.
The local club is completely femi-
nine, but there is actually no rule
excluding a man from membership.
There is no age limit on member
ship-in fact, there is children's
group in the club, aged to IA. The
Washington Story League is one
chapter of the National Story
League, established in 1908. There
are about 40 women in the local
league, which has been active since
1895. Membership in the league is
constantly open.

Once trap was baited
With a piece Of cheese,

An old rat said, There's danger,
Be careful where you go"
Nonsense" said the other,
