must show an aptitude for the

Theater
Notes

Opening night at the National
is always surprise to us. For be-
sides sometimes being treated
with an exceptionally good play
such as John Gielgud's produc-
ton of Love for Love" we also
occasionally see a rather we'll
dressed theater audience. We
never know what to expect.
We've spoken many times to a
number of theatrical people and
promptly come up with the very
unoriginal question as to whether
or not they prefer to see their au-
diences really "dolled up" or just
what they would like. The an
swers at times have been start
ling. They range from Person
ally, I don't give hoot cause I
like people regardless of what
they wear" to one young lady's
reply that she wished the au-
dience could realize how grateful
they are when they play to a
house that Is filled with attrac-
lively dressed men and women.
She went on to say "It really
thrills us to think that so many
people have gone to that much
trouble"
Washington really doesn't have
the worlds worst theater-dressed
audience. But 1t certainly could
improve itself. Last Tuesdays
opening at the National was an
"a to z" occasion. Some women
came dressed in beautiful eve
ming and street clothes. Others
came in very, very sporty suits.
True, if you are a tailored per-
son and can't abide anything
else, ok. But for those who can
be glamorous, but who still
don't care for too much formal
ity-an attractive dress or dressy
suit is much nicer for evening
wear. E. S.

there1l be. few respites for me.
The European war broke out q little
later. AS, Vice President. Harry
Truman refuses an invitation Ior
April 20, 1945-Iae's spending It with
his daughter. on her birthday. BY
April 40, Mr.. Truman had been
inaugurated President.
Mr.. Feeley found valuable piece
of Americans in Q Shoe-box. The
box contained q letter from James
Buchanan, authorizing treaty
with the Tonawanda band of Seneca
Indians Tin New York State). This
is believed to be the final contract
between the United States and the
Indians.
To the uninitiated 1t would appear
that Washington's and Lincoln's
signatures would be among the
most valuable. Actually, there Is
quite healthy supply OF them.
The writings OF William Henry
Harrison are the most sought after.
President Harrison died 80 days
after his Inauguration Even the
most trivial signature is valuable.
A presidential letter is apt to
drop from the blue-or turn up in
Congressional waste basket. When
the men on the hill clean out their
files, papers from the President
suffer the fate of less distinguished
documents. Junk stores often yield
valuable papers. In one, Mr.. Feeley
found President Taft's penciled
notes on the independence OF the
Philippines.
In the memoirs of Benjamin Ogle
Tayloe was a letter from President
Fillmore, thanking Mrs. Tayloe for
sending him the book. (Mr. Tay-
loe's home is now part Of the Cos
mos Club, and bis book dealt with
Washington.)
If you don't want to acquire .
Goth century George Washington
signature, you learn about paper,
ink, quills and pens, according to
Mr.. Feeley. There's also the busi-
ness Of confused Identities. For ex-
ample, Mr.. Feeley tells us that there
were dozens of Sam Adams. There
were two Nathan Hales-the second
man was the uncle of the Colonial
hero.
There were even two George
Washington's. The second, George
S. Washington, ran livery stable
here in town. His signature is.
reported to be astonishingly like
that of the Presidents.
Through some non-oficial cor
respor1dence with Mr.. Truman, Mr..
Feeley discovered that the Presi-
dent uses stamps on personal LETT
tiers. His refusal to use the frank
ing privilege is especially notable
it's claimed that even Washington
and Lincoln would lend q helping
hand to their wives when no stamps
we're available.

When Vickshlrg, Miss. raised the
Starr and Stripes for the first time
since the Civil War on July 4.
1916, tho citizens OF Town Line, q
hamlet Is miles outside Buffalo,
In. Y, became concerned. Town
Line had seceded from the Union
lin 1861, and TO their knowledge 1t
had never returned. Mr.. Stephen
Nv. Feeley, an employe Of the Buff
lfalo Courier Express, became inter-
ested In the towns quandary, and
wrote to President Truman for adj
vice. The President suggested the
town run down q healthy calf, have
q barbecue and SIT down and talk
the whole thing over. Town Line
returned to the Union. And they
named their four corners Truman
Square.
The Union was preserved. And
Mr.. Feeley added President Tru-
mans letter to his collection. An
autographed picture Of Franklin
Roosevelt, which he received In 1887,
sparked his interest In presiden-
tial signatures. Since then. he's
collected every signature from
Washington's to Trumans. Signed
documents and letters are also i'm
portant In his collection. Mr.. Feeley
now operates . washington news
bureau. His time Is divided be-
tween history in the making and
stories OF the past.
A composite United States Chief
created from the personalities re-
vealed In presidential letters would
be alternately just and witty and
shrewd. When Calvin Coolidge
found himself President, q group OF
lawyers tried TO help him select his
cabinet. In a letter in Mr.. Feeley's
collection, Mr.. Coolidge gave them
the presidential brushof. He ex-
planned that he was sure the law
yers knew the men better than he
did. Unfortunately, he wouldn't
have time to look into their records
himself. He'd have to resort to
selecting his own cabinet.

Forgive this long -winded disserta-

First, why feed the baby every

do not need it.
A normal infant over 7 pounds
should have a schedule like this

gradually until at month he Ii
getting one tablespoon and so or
during the following months. He
does not need orange juice. Gel
the vitamin tablets and put them
in milk. Put the vitamin drops
on a spoon. Let him play until
he gets sleepy, then put him to bed
He'll probably sleep until 2 pm
Then give him a bath and his bottle
He'll then sleep until about 6 pm
At this feeding give him another
teaspoon -or two of cereal and put
j him to bed. He will then sleep until
about IL pm. At this feeding

put a fresh gown on then her bottle

This may sound incredible to some
but it does work. At 2 months

At 4 months by giving her bath
at 6 and letting her play until 7
pm, feeding her then and putting
her to bed at pm. eliminated the
extra bottle.
It makes for more placid baby
too. He is allowed to get plenty ol
sleep which is SO important, the
first six months. Out of five grand.

SHORTENING SUBSTITUTE.

If the price of lard and vegetable
shortening is preventing any one
from deep-fat frying, she might try
buying suet (about Is cents per
pound, slicing it thin, and letting
it render over a very low flame.
Her frying pan will season at the
same time! If she can spare the
time, layers of fat can be stripped
from plate beef or short ribs and
rendered the same way. The lean
meat makes even better steWing
meat with the suet removed.

WHAT'S BECOME OF SERVICE?
From S. r. o., Siluer Spring.
Will you please pass the soap box?
I've a speech to make and I just bet
you'd be interested.
Do any of you remember when
the word service" was not just a
word in the dictionary? When de-
partment stores had daily or almost
deliveries? When it didn't take a
solid week to get clothes back from
the cleaners?
Now this last is my pet peeve" at
the moment. We all know that the
actual cleaning and pressing of a
garment takes a short time so why
Junior and Susie miss Sunday school
because their best "Sunday-go-to-
meeting clothes" are at the cleaners?
You may say why can't you pick
them up?" That is not the point.
The point is that during the war
years we became used to these in
conveniences and haven't realized
the need for such measures has
passed. I know there must be some
concerns who would like to return
in part, at least, to the old service
with smile" motto. However, these
are banded together with others of
their trade who are not so far
sighted.
Why can't we in turn rally our
forces and let our desires be known?
We are certainly supporting their
institutions and should have a say
so. AS women we have tremendous
power for we control over half of
the wealth of our country. Let us

what good we can use our power.
