TT WAS the hour after dinner when,
If ever, peace reigns in the house
hold. The telephone bell rang, a sharp
Irritating interruption to father and
mother reading by the fireside.
"Better answer that, Gordon. It is
probably for you,” said mother, trying
to keep the edge off her voice. Gor
don, red about the ears, went across
the hall to the telephone, closing the
• door behind him.
"It’s that girl again,” said mother.
"She calls him every evening, rain or
shine. Hasn't her mother any sense,
any pride at all?”
"Maybe her mother doesn’t know
anything about it. He is at the age.
*o we may as well make up our minds
to meet the girl friends. When I was
his age I remember, I cluttered the
house with them. As fast as one
dropped out another came in. It
didn't hurt me any.”
;'But they didn t can you every
night on the telephone.”
"We didn't have any. We you
hoo-ed before each other’s houses

was before you came into my life. Of

"You're his father and you ought
to know. But I do think that for
a girl to call a boy night after night,
and talk and talk such talk, such
gibberish. It makes me so im
patient
“It’s nothing more serious than a
you-hoo over the fence. It is bet

The house is his as well as ours.
We’ll just have to shake ourselves
out of our armchairs and light up
and be merry for the next five or six

"I suppose so. Why boys and girls
have to go through this annoying
stage is more than I can see. Still
I did drop notes in the wall post office,
and the boys did carry my books home.

them all welcome, afternoons and
evenings. She must have been a
sorely tried soul at times. If she
liked quiet evenings she must have
suffered tortures."
"There's nothing for it but to step
up our pace a little and make things
lively for the boy. That girl will have
to be invited over and some more
along with her. Better stage a party
right off and see if we can't make
ourselves like it.”

1 N INVITATION for June week
at the Naval Academy is a
delightful thrill for any Wash
• I - — ington girl who is fortunate
enough to receive one and immediately
i starts her off in a frenzy of excite
> j ment as to what she will wear, for, of
• course, she "won't have a thing in
‘ her wardrobe that is fit to be seen
■ in”—this modern daughter of Eve!
‘ And what fun it is gathering these
frocks together for such a happy occa
i sion. She will need a smart dress
. for her first appearance when she steps
l out of her car. This might well be a
i knit frock that you can depend upon
to arrive without being WTinkled and
out of shape. In the pastel colors
these Summer knits are wonderfully
> attractive and will do excellent duty
; for watching the drills and attending
. some of the other events scheduled.
White string knits with lacey tops are
awfully good, allowing you to choose
your most becoming color for hat and
■ bag. or maybe a white panama w’ith a
white bag.
A jacket suit of hairline striped
maize silk would be equally good for
making that first impression. One
we found has one of those longer,
fitted-in coats with wide-at-the-top,
elbow-length sleeves. Between the
revers you catch a glimpse of the dress
top with its two splashy white flowers
at the neck. With white or contrasting
bright accessories of hat. bag and
gloves, this would undoubtedly delight
: the masculine eye.
* * * *
. COME sort of a spectator sports frock
will be necessary. A very smart
one is of white linen in two-piece ver
sion with rich Dubonnet red outlining
the shoulder seams, armholes and
front closing. Covered red linen but
tons down the front of the blouse and
a shoulder flower of the same color
make a very snappy design on the
plain white Lnen. This also romos
with navy blue trim, which might fit
more appropriately into the nautical
pictuie. In dusty pink there is a
good-looking pin-striped alpaca with
well-tailored lines, using a navy blue
belt and bow at the neck, that sug
gests a blue felt hat or one of dusty
pink.
If you have the slightest idea that
you will be asked to go out sailing,
you had better be prepared with some
white slacks and a sport, shirt. Be
sure to have some sneakers, too, for
skirts and high heels are entirely un
suitable for sailing and not nearly so
much fun to wear.
For afternoon festivities there is an
adorable wispy pastel pink sheer frock
with a pleated lacey frill at neck which
is also used for little sleeves. The top
of the blouse is extended over the
shoulders and two rows of inserted
lace give added interest and lightness.
This, of course, is a street-length frock
and lovely for any afternoon party
with a wide-brimmed picture hat, or a
cunning smal’"- one for dancing.
* * * *
JJUT the choicest gowns of all are
those for the starlit hours climax
ing in the final ball, when every girl |
must be her loveliest to enjoy the spell
of June romance to the full. Some
thing filmy, fluttery, dainty in texture
and color that will float out in billowy
clouds from dancing feet. For such a
frock white is always a charming
choice, and furthermore is economical,
as it may always be varied by flower
and belt accents in different colors !
from time to time.
A fascinating dancing frock that we
have just seen is of white mousseline
with a large flora! pattern widely
spaced using soft blue and red violet
tones, very delicate looking over a
white slip. Large puff sleeves and a i
very full skirt that opens part way
down to reveal a fan pleating in the
slip underneath are responsible for
the beauty of this frock, as well as the
high neck that ties at the front and
the row of small buttons from a slashed
neck opening to the tip of the skirt
slash.
Another junior dance frock is of
white organza with small dots of red. ;
It has an intriguing row of silver
stars studded with brilliants on the ■
shirtwaist closing at the front of the
high round neck. It is very wide at
the shoulders and very full at the hem.
In aqua blue lace and mousseline de
sole is another beauty. This one has
an extra cape with shallow round lace
yoke and lots 8t fluffy ruffles to widen I
Jt so that It covers the upper arms at
front and reaches to the waist at the
back. This frock is more slimly fitted
than the others described, but fluffs
out at the bottom with four mousseline
ruffles.
Pale yellow organza is enchanting ;
with Its large cape collar trimmed with
rows of yellow soutach braid, and a
voluminous skirt with rows and rows
of tiny yellow braid that go round and
round, becoming more widely spaced
at the bottom. Then, too, there is the
very summery white brocaded crepe ]
evening coat with ripple back and
shoulder yoke that Is so exactly suited
to accompany any of these frocks.

Dishes May Be Prepared
Early in the Morning
Before Leaving for Office
Summer Meals Pleasanter When Whiffs of
Cool Air Replace the Heat Waves
Over the Stove.
BY BETSY CASWELL.
WE HAVE been so busy sug
gesting silverware, linens,
and kitchen equipment for
the bride's new home lately
that we have shamefully neglected our
usual subject of kitchenette recipes.
With the warm weather creeping
up. our thoughts turn once again to
those dishes that may be prepared
early In the morning before leaving
for the office, and
left to reach per
fection in the re
frigerator during
the day. One of
the greatest les
sons Washington
housekeepers can
learn is that of
"icebox cooking"
during the hot.
Summer months!
It is indeed a joy
when you return
home to get your
dinner in whiffs
of cold air from B,t,y
the refrigerator, rather than in blasts
of heat from the stove!
Jellied dishes are always to be relied
upon for this type of food. Quickly
made in the morning, they have
plenty of time to “set" firmly through
out the daytime. And they have a
cool, sparkling appearance that is
stimulating in itself!
Such a dish is:
STUDIO SALAD.
1 package orange gelatin.
1 cup hot water to dissolve gelatin.
1 tablespoon grated orange peel.
cup boiling water.
34 cup orange juice.
1 alligator pear.
Dissolve the gelatin in the hot
water. Extract the flavor of the j
grated orange peel with the boiling
water—throw away the peel. Combine ;
orange-flavored water with the gela- j
tin. cool, and add orange juice. Pour !
half of the amount into a pint-size
ring mold, and set on ice for a few
minutes until partly set. Peel the
alligator pear and remove the stone:
cut in half lengthwise, and then slice
thinly through each half, so that the |
slices will be crescent shaped. Sprin
kle them well with lemon juice, and
arrange on the layer of gelatin. |
Pour on the remaining gelatin, and
place in icebox to set. When ready *
to serve, unmold on shredded lettuce
and watercress, fill center of ring
with mayonnaise to which a table
spoon or more of chili sauce has been i
added, and serve very cold. This
salad, with some cold sliced ham.
toasted English muffins and a sweet
would be an ample supper for a very
hot Sunday evening.
* * * '4
T TSING the prepared aspic gelatin
now on the market, one could
make another molded dish of the same
type by using tuna fish or salmon,
mixed with mayonnaise, baby peas
and bits of cucumber for the filling.
Place a mixed green salad with French
dressing in the center of the jelly
mixture when it is unmoldefl on a
platter, and there, presto, is practically
a whole dinner!
There is a delicious madrilene soup
that comes in oens, and that jells all
by itself when set in the icebox. As
you know, this is a combination of
clear tomato and chicken consomme,
and is pink in color. Use this for
your jelly; place a layer in the bot
tom of the mold, and put a layer of
minced chicken (cooked, of course)
that has been mixed with mayonnaise,
baby peas, asparagus tips and diced
carrots; top with remaining madrilene.
Set In refrigerator for several hours,
and serve with watercress.
* * * *
A NOTHER good supper salad is
** this one;
TOMATO AND CHEESE SALAD.
1 envelope plain gelatin.
U cup cold water.
1 >2 cups hot thick tomato soup.
12 cup cream cheese, or cottage cheese
1 tablespoon onion juice.
1 tablespoon butter.
>4 teaspoon salt.
*4 cup mayonnaise.
'a cup stuffed olives, chopped.
’i cup cream, whipped
Put the soup in a double boiler, add
the cheese, butter, salt and onion
juice. Heat until cheese has softened.
Pour cold water in a bowl, and sprinkle
the gelatin on top of the water; add
to hot mixture, and stir until dissolved.
Cool, add mayonmise and whipped
cream, and the stuffed olives. Turn
into mold that has been rinsed in cold
water, and chill in icebox. When firm,
unmold, and serve with mayonnaise,
and a plain lettuce salad. Whipped
evaporated milk may be used instead
of the cream if desired.

several simple and good recipes for
"Hot Heather Dishes." which I shall

Tips on the Food Market
BY LUCIE EBERLY.
THE market continues to show
improvement every day due to
the fact that the produce is
coming from farms "closer to
home.” Though we still depend on
the Far West for a number of items,
the larger shipments are now coming
from Florida and the Carolinas.
Nearby farms are yielding more each
week, too, and merchants expect the
1st of June to find local markets prac
tically independent of even the hot
house produce that generally tides us
over the season.
* * * *
gABY turnips, young and tender,
with crisp green tops, that make
for another vegetable dish, are the
latest contribution from nearby farms.
Unusually sweet and tasty when so
small, these new turnips should find
their way, diced, into the salad bowl;
or sliced paper thin and used as tea
sandwich filling. Small garden carrots
and tiny red beets are at their prime,
too. plentiful and cheap. All the
greens—spinach, turnip and mustard
greens, baby kale, new green cabbage
and watercress—are excellent. Home
grown asparagus continues to come in
large and good batches and is more
reasonable now than it has been since
it appeared this season. A number of
the places are featuring the large
jumbo stalks that are so perfect for
the dinner party menu. Lima beans,
shelled, are still scarce, but have
dropped a few cents. Artichokes and
mushrooms are definitely on the wane.
If you are fond of these two aristo
crats of the vegetable family you had
better enjoy them while they last.;
Cauliflower, small snowwhite heads,
look very delectable this week. Texas
corn Is Improving daily and is drop
ping In price. Mammoth cucumbers,
the Boston hothouse variety, are ex
ceptionally fine and the large beef
steak tomatoes are also more plentiful
this week end. A bumper crop of the
large green peppers must have been
received, for every stall has huge
mounds of them featured at special
prices. Stuffed with ground meat or
pot pourrl of vegetables, or seafood,
they help to make an ordinary dish
take on a party air. Summer squash,
both white and yellow, is in again (it
was scarce all Winter) and appears to
be a favorite at the vegetable counters
just now.
DR WILEY" strawberries, those un
usually tasty ones, are now avail
able in local markets. (The seed for
this variety is very hard to procure,
that accounts for the scarcity of this
type of berry.) Just why they seem
more flavorful than some of the
other species, no one seems to know,
but there is always a clamor for them
the minute they appear on the market.
California cantaloupes are coming in
steady shipments now and are more
normal in price. Honeydews, how
ever, are scarce. Pineapple is at its
prime, say merchants, and so it would
seem, for every stall has an unusually
large supply. Perfect for fruit cup
tidbits, or luncheon dessert, enjoy this
succulent fruit while you may. Cran
berries are still available and offer a
good warm-day treat via sherbet or
juice. Bananas are also at their best
and are selling both by the pound and
dozen. Bing cherries are plentiful and
seem to have reached their normal
size and flavor. Garden rhubarb has
attained its peak of excellence, too,
and should certainly find its way to
the preserving kettle and luscious pies.
* * * *
5OFT-SHELLED crabs are among the
week's bargains at the sea food
counters. Carolina waters are yielding
ui early large supply and consequently
these delicacies are reasonably priced.
Butter fish are plentiful again this
reek. The delicate flavor aid mm
preparation feature should make them
popular as the breakfast dish as well as
for a dinner or luncheon dish. Trout
and croakers and Boston mackerel are
coming in good lots. Bluefish is about
the only item that is scarce, though
shad is dropipng off. Sliced sturgeon,
fresh salmon and large striped bass,
weighing from 3 to 8 pounds, are con
sidered the perfect dinner party fish.
Fresh frog legs. too. are in now—com
ing from nearby frog farms—and are
exceptionally tasty.

F ormality
Of Wedding
Ceremonies
BY EMILY POST.
£)EAR MRS. POST: When a
daughter of one faith marries a
son of another, and the latter's fam
ily refuses to recognize their marriage
and will of course not be present at
their wedding, would it be considered
in bad taste for this bride to have
a wedding with bridesmaids and
wedding veil? She has always dreamed
of having such a wedding.
Answer—Under the circumstances.
I think a very big and elaborate
wedding would be in very bad taste.
But a simple wedding that is entirely
conventional, at which she wears a
bride's dress and at which she may
have attendants, would be above
criticism.
* * w *
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband holds
a high position in a local club, where
it seems best to hold the reception
after our daughter’s wedding. We
are sending engraved invitations to
our best friends to the church and the
club both, but would lik. to know if
there is not some way we can invite
all club members to the church with
out sending invitations.
Answer—If the club is a small one,
so that all members are your friends,
you could, I suppose, post an invita
tion on the bulletin board. This,
however, would be a very informal
thing to do and not approved by
people who are inclined to be conven
tional. The alternative is, of course,
to send engraved Invitations, or else
notes written by hand, to each family.
* * * *
Dear Mrs. Post: There are no men
in my family and my fiance is the
only man in his family. At our
wedding I will walk up to the alter
alone. This means that our mothers
will have to walk out of church alone,
or with sisters of ours, which I be
lieve is perfectly all right. A cousin
of mine is very emphatically sure
that this would be all wrong.
Answer—The usher- always hurry
back after the recessional to escort
the mothers out of church and as
many other members of nearest fami
lies as there are ushers. Others in
the front pews simply rise and follow
without waiting for the ushers to
return. Guests back of the ribbons
remain at their seats until those who
were seated in front of the ribbons
have gone out.
* * * *
Dear Mrs. Post: Are long white
kid gloves essential for women guests
to wear at a formal evening wedding?
I don’t know why my mother has a
feeling that this is convention.
Answer—Long white kid gloves are
not really necessary any more. Wear
whatever gloves you think look best
with your clothes.

Dorothy Dix Says
Every Woman Should Cultivate Many
Interests Outside of Her Home.
THE ideal wife of tradition has
always been the woman who,
like the snail, carries her
house on her back. Even to
day the most opprobrious epithet you
can apply to a married woman is to
call her a gadabout.
Somehow the belief has always
persisted that there is some peculiar
virtue in a wife and mother being so
altogether wife and mother that she
is scarcely human, and that she ac
quires further merit by having no
interests outside of the four walls of
her home. Nothing is more common
than to hear people speak applaud
ingly of Mrs. So and So being such a
homebody that she never goes any
where or does anything except look
after her family. And for women to
boast that since they have married
they have given up all the clubs they
used to belong to; that they have
dropped out of their old social set
and never go to parties; that they
never read anything any more except
the baby book and the cooking recipes
in the newspapers.
Of course, inasmuch as keeping the
home fires burning and making her
family comfortable is the woman's
part in the domestic partnershio, it
is obvious that she must necessarily
give most of her time and attention
to her job. But the theory that she
must let this absorb her to the exclu
sion of everything else, that she muot
have no interest outside of her home,
no individual life of her own outside
of her husband’s and children’s, is
false and misleading propaganda that
is responsible for half of women's
faults and has wrecked innumerable
women's lives.
▼ » ■e -w
chief trouble with women is
that they have not enough inter
ests in life, and that is what makes
them wear the fewr they have thr’e.d
bare. They haven't enough things
to think about and that keeps their
minds in a rut. They haven't enough
things to amuse and divert them and
that makes them melancholy and
lacrimose.
Consider how many of the weak
nesses of the feminine character are
attributable solely to women's lack of
outside interests. Their lack of philos
ophy. Their inability to take it.
Their passion for making mountains
out of molehills. Their threshing over
of old straw.
You see the effect of this narrow
range of interests in women's lives il
lustrated in a thousand ways. In
their inability to get over a sorrow,
for instance. When by death a man
loses some one he loves, his heart is
just as much tom with anguish as a
woman's, but he has his work that
he is bound to concentrate upon;
strangers to whom he has to turn a
smiling face; a thousand things that
take his mind off of his sorrow, and
so he adjusts himself to what must
be borne. But the woman, as she
goes about the round of domestic
duties, which she does automatically,
has nothing to keep her from dwell
ing upon her loss and so her thoughts
go their weary round and round until
her grief becomes an obsession.
* * * *
JT IS because women make their
homes the center of the universe
that they take marriage so badly.
If a wife doesn’t come up to all her
husband's fondest fancy painted, he
generally shrugs his shoulders and
makes the best of Mary being a good
cook, or a thrifty manager, or what
not, and he takes up golf in a serious
way, or gets so absorbed in making
money that nothing else counts much.
But when a husband proves not to be
a Prince Charming, wife just sits
down and bemoans her fate, and the
only consolation she gets is in ap
pealing for pity as a misunderstood
woman who is all soul while her hus
band is all clod.
And what's nagging except the re
sult of a woman having so little out
side interests that she has nothing to
think about but managing her fam
ily and seeing that it does exactly as
she wants it to do? She has noth
ing to divert her mind from some mis
take her husband made 20 years ago,
or from Johnny’s diet and Mary's
dates, so she hounds them about them
until they flee from home to get away
from the sound of Her voice.
* w * *
one of the tragic figures in life
is the middle-aged woman whose
children have grown up, got mar
ried and gone about the business of
life for themselves. Generally she
has been so absorbed in her chil
dren that she has lost all touch with
her husband and there is no com
panionship between them. She has
no interests of her own. No friends.
No occupation when her job of rais
ing a family is over. And she is the
loneliest and most forlorn of all crea
tures.
Often such women, who have lived
their children's lives so completely
that they have no lives of their own,
break up their homes and go to live
with their children, where they in
variably make trouble. The moral of
all of which is that every woman
should cultivate as many outside in
teres's as possible It is good for her
own soul and for her husband's and
children s. DOROTHY DIX.

Five New
Hues Make
Their Debut
More Vivid Coloring
Decreed by Dame
Fashion.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.
IS YOUR vegetable bln filled with
waxy yellow beans, red cabbages,
fresh green parsley, stalks of rhubarb?
Look long and lingeringly at these
| vegetables for they, according to
! fashion's forecasts, hold the secret
and the inspiration of Summer's cos
(tume colors.
Oh, yes. fashion is a “swell little
swiper." The smoothness with which
she steals ideas here and there to
concoct an altogether amazing and
satisfying picture is uncanny.
The four vegetable colors above
mentioned and Texas bluebonnet blu-.
we are told, will moke the five-star
final for Summer shades.
And here’s what to wear with them
in the way of make-up harmony:
Rich ruby red at nails and Ups with
Texas bluebonnet blue and many cl
the grayed tones, which become sud
denly softer and more mysteriou
when accented by the ruby magic.
Would you suspect that ruby wouir
also be recommended with red cab
bage? The effect is striking and stim
ulating. but not discordant.
Rhubarb pink, however, is to be ac
companied by rose on fingert.ps and
lipstick in a natural rosy shade Th
soft, delicately balanced tones of ros’
are recommended, too. where ruby
might be discordant or too obvious.
Ru‘t. the newest, smartest and most
exciting of the polish shades, is a col
or you have prcbably heard much
about and will hear more as the run
shines stronger. The warm colors, it
is explained, call for cosmetics which
are also warm in tone, and warmth
derives from yellow undercurrents.
Thus the soft-sunned quality of this
rust shade provides the perfect accent
with wax-bean yellow, parsley green
and chaudron. On a sun-tanned hand
rust is lovely; on a sun-kissed face a
lipstick to harmonize provides just
enough emphasis.
In the choice of rouge, powder, eye
shadow and cosmetique one's own
perronality and coloring must be taken
into consideration as well as the color
of one’s costume. Blonds wearing
rhubarb pink, for instance, are urged
to use silver blue eyeshadow, brunettes
wearing the same shade, silver green,
and titians, silver mauve.
And new. if yeu are at all in doubt
abcut the make-up to wear with your
favorite co tume, and so many wise
women have concentrated on the
smart and thrifty "Sp'ing into Sum
mer" type, why not let a reputable
saleswoman in a reputable depart
ment store show you how well you
will look in the proper cosmetic
shades.
