There is no such thing as brown yes. according to Capt. Thomas F. <sleavy, who has instructed the detec tives to describe as “maroon” all eyes commonly considered brown.

Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON Many curious characters hide them selves in the hotels of New York. That Is especially true of the older taverns of the town. Whenever an old Inn succumbs to the pressure of time many such tales are revealed. Occasionally they come out through other agencies. There was the case of Mrs. Ida May Wood whose story was revealed when her nephew brought proceedings to have her de clared incompetent. For many years, though once the belle of New York, she lived alone in a room in a modest mid-town hotel seeing only an occa sional chambermaid or bell boy and existing on food she carried In paper bags. Investigation disclosed the fact that she bad on her person and hid den in the room more tban a million dollars In cash and securities. She died not so long after her case be came known and her estate is now awaiting settlement In Surrogate’s court, a number of claimants having appeared. • * • In a mid-town hotel, which has con siderable social prestige, a little old gentlewoman took a room 17 years ago. She has occupied that same room ever-since. She always refused to admit any hotel help on'the plea that she wanted nothing disturbed. Attempts to prevail on her to have the room redecorated fell on deaf ears. Changes in management made no dif ference. Finally, along came a young and alert manager who determined to have the entire hotel renovated. The gentlewoman objected strenuously. The manager was firm. The guest was equally so. Finally he Informed her that unless she would consent to have her room done, she would have to move out on a certain date. If she gave her consent, he promised, every thing would be put back exactly as It had been. On that condition the guest BACK UP! Judge—Are you sure that he was tlat on bis back after, the accused hit him? Witness—Weil, as near as he could be, considering how round-shouldered he Is.

A couple of min utes' work satisfied her and she has settled down apparently secure in the thought that she won't be disturbed again for at least 17 years. • • • In another hotel, also one with so cial prestige, is a man guest who has occupied the same room for five years. When he came he had a suitcase, and tnat is still all his baggage. Every morning, looking spic and span, he goes out, evidently to business.

It Is not only by gangsters, how ever, that this phrase is used to in dicate a hasty departure. It Is fre quently used by widely varied classes of people in every day speech. The phrase is nautical, coming to us from the lexicon of the sea.

The meadows are those famous stretches of salt marsh which are still un-rec)aimed despite the many plans that have been advanced to make them useful. So far as this writer knows, nothing has. ever been raised in the Jersey meadows.

GOOD MENUS FOR SUMMER PARTIES Hints for Planning Dinners or Luncheons. By EDITH M. BARBER Early summer brings with It many excuses for throwing a party. There are brides to be entertained, graduates to be honored, guests who choose this pleasant season to visit, and then there are farewell parties for those lucky persons who are going to Europe or some other place for the summer. If we ourselves are going off to a summer cottage there may be a party or two which we have been intending to have all winter still left on the list. And then there are those parties, per haps the nicest of all, which we have for no reason at all, except that we like to have our friends in our house. I have been having half a dozen or so of my friends at a time for dinner recently, and you may like to hear what I chose for the menu. One began with half an avocado filled with fresh crab meat mixed with a sauce made of mayonnaise, chili sauce, Worcester shire and curry. If you like, you may sprinkle a little lemon juice on the pear before you fill it. Then came broilers, split, covered with sliced onions and baked three-quarters of an hour In a hot oven. With this I served noodles dressed with butter, browned almonds and poppy seed! The vegetable was asparagus with brown butter and grated cheese. Rel ishes were chutney, olives and celery, and jelly as well as Melba toast were passed. The salad was sliced cucum bers, endive and chives, mixed with a highly seasoned french dressing and served in a large bowl. Toasted crack ers and cheese and guava jelly were Three Honor Men at Annapolis <: ,sx ja X jH Hw<hL|' '> x-o- ' : * *j> t MB mhߧ fl H !• xg~ ~ M Here are the members of the graduating class at Annapolis who hare been selected as honor men. Left,to right: Fred Neupert (premier honor man), of Portland, Ore.; Robert Madden of Sharon, Pa.; and Robert Gallagher of Pittston, Pa. I ! passed with it. I omitted dessert and served coffee in the living room. Another day dinner began with a to mato juice cocktail, with which thin cucumber sandwiches, stuffed celery and ripe Olives were passed. Then came broiled ham with a cream gravy, corn griddle cakes made of the water ground meal and baked at the table. Peas dressed with a little cream, enough to flavor them but not to make them too moist to serve on the dinner plate, furnished the vegetable. Peach jam and mustard pickles were passed. For a salad I chose a mixed vegetable salad and served frozen dried beef with it The dessert was more corn cakes with fresh maple sirup. This was also true at au informal dinner in the country recently, which began with mixed hors d’oeuvres. The soup was strong beef broth with whole kernel corn and toast sticks. The main course was roast duck with fried apples, potatoes in the half shell, creamed spinach, buttered beets and tiny hot bran muffins. There was Jelly, mixed pickles and spiced grapefruit rind also. The salad was made ap of lettuce, grapefruit and tiny balls of cream cheese served in a large bowl and dressed with a spicy dressing. Dessert was coffee marshmallow mousse with fresh sponge cake. In selecting menus for luncheon or dinner do not hesitate to break all the usual cook-book rules for these menus. If you have any specialty, serve it, even if it is unusual to find a dish of this sort at this particular type of meal. Your friends will not only enjoy it, but for once they will demand it again, as for instance they did at a cerfaln house where they were disap pointed if the dessert was not old fashioned rice pudding!

Potato chips Fresh peas in cream Lettuce with french dressing Ice Cream cake with strawberries Coffee Lamb chops are always the standby of the busy housekeeper. Fresh peas are so good and so reasonable that we are tempted to use them more often than when they were a luxury. A crisp lettuce salad with a highly seasoned french dressing goes well with almost any dinner. For dessert a combination of va nilla ice cream, crushed strawberries and sponge cake makes what Is known sometimes as an ice cream sandwich and sometimes as an ice cream cake. Of course, you can omit the cake and bave a homemade sundae. ©. 1933. Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
