THE FLATONIA ARGUS
—i--
THURSDAY, DEC. 1, 1932
By HARRIET DEAN
JJASHIONS In food vary Just a?
F much as fashions In clothes. Only
women were Interested in afternoon
tea when It was accompanied by
pastries, cake and a plate of dull
looking sandwiches. Now the men arc
on hand.
Whether for tea. a bridge party, or
when a few friends Just drop in for
the evening, the ingenious and up-to-
date hostess now provides several
small bowls of delicious spreads and a
tray of assorted crisp crackers. The
guests choose their own combinations
—and with such enthusiasm 1
One will want anchovy paste on
'butter wafers; another proclaims that
there is nothing else quite as good as
pimiento cheese on graham crackers,
With the seal of an explorer, an-
other mounts a slice of hard-boiled
( egg on a strip of salmon on a flake
l butter cracker. Lazy ones arc humor-
ed by the presence of pretzels cheese
wafers, vanilla and chocolate cookies.
•'To provide an assortment that wi'.l | in the egg
rdcr.se all tastes and yet avrd any I unt.' sc;.
hint of ostentation, requires careful
selection. It is fairly simple if this
plan is followed:—
Have something bland in llavor,
such ns a mild cheese, hard-boiled
egg, lobster or crabmeat salad. *
Have something pungent, such as
anchovies, smoked salmon, bonelecs
and skinless sardine paste, ot cream
cheese mixed with chutney.
Have something sweet, such as
marmalade, jeily, or preserves. Slices
of guava jelly on matching squares
of cream cheese arc always appeal-
ing.
And by all means have a varied as-
sortment of crackers end wafers,
puffy ones, crisp er.es and the cver-
popular butter thlr.e.
Incidentally, If the last tubber
lingers so lorg that some of the men
demand something hot, hero is a
thrifty way of scrambling eggs.
To each weil-beatcr. egg add two
tablespoons of r ill; and three, about
one-fifth cup. flake sc da crackers,
finely crumbled. Melt enough butter
to cover a s’-.ilk: gon. .ouciy, p„ur
s and cook over a low flame

% Consider the editor! A^child
is bom unto*^toe wife of a "mer-
chant in town. The physician
getteth 10 plunks. The editor
w^iteth a:stickvflnd a hall,And
telleth the multitude th"ht- ihe
*| child lippoth the beam at nine
j pounds. . Yea. he lie Lb even .as
a centurion. And the proud
| father giveth him a Cremo.
Behold, the y oung one grow
eth up and gaduateth. And the
editor putteth in the paper a
I swell piece. Yea, a peach of a
I notice. He telleth of the wis-
] dom of the young woman, of
I her exceeding comeliness. Like
j unto the rose of Sharon is she,
and her gown is played up to
the band. And the dressmaker
getteth two score and four iron
men. And the editor gets a note
of thanks from the sweet girl
graduate.
And the daughter goeth on a
journey. And the editor throw-
eth himself on the story of the
farewell party. It runneti a
! column solid. And Hie fair one
remembereth him from afar
with a picture postal card that
costeth six for a jitney.
Behold, she returneth, and
the youtlj of the town fall
down and worship. She pick-
eth one and lo, she picketh
a lemon. But the editor calleth
him one of our promising
young men and getteth away
with it. And they send unto
the editor a bid to the wedding
and behold the bids are fash-
ioned in a far city.
Flowery and long is the wed-
ding notice which the editor
printeth. The minister getteth
his bit.
The editor printeth a death
notice, two columns of obituary*
three lodge notices, a cubit of
poetry and a card of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read
proof on the dead, and the
darned thing cometh out

And all that are akin to the
deceased jumpeth on the ed-
itor with exceeding great
jumps. And they pulleth out

Houston, Tex.— (SP) Plans

one of the most colorful in
history, is expected to board
the Special Train to the Cap-
itol for the brilliant inaugura-
tion.
As an added convenience
for the party, Mr. Monroe
stated that the Special Train

jacent to the main highway,

COCK OF THE AIR
“Cock of the Air,” the new
ilr comedy comes to the Lyric
Theatre Friduy and Saturday.
This is Howard Hughe%’ latest
production, ami onc<? again the
producer ef. “Hell’s Angela,*
“The Front Rage.” and other
film sensationk, crashes thriT
.vith a-hit plctifre.
^ “Cock of tlfb Aair,
Artists picture., is a brillia'ht
picturteation Of a duringtetory.
U is ultra-sophisticated comedy
minu*s the usual hokum and
vulgarity associated with sop-
histicated pictures.
Extravagantly produced and
brilliantly directed, “Cock of
the Air,” is sheer entertain-
ment fro nistart to finish.
It is played by a crack cast,
headed by Chester Morris and
supported by Billie Dove, Matt
Moore, Yola D’Avril, Walter
Catlett, Vivien Oakland and
Louis Alberni.
Lavish settings, and daring
but deft treatment of a bold
theme, combine to make “Cock
of he Air ’ the sensation of co-
medies.
The story, an original, con-
cerns lie execiting love-match
between the romantic “ace” of
the American air service, play-
ed by Morris, and the “toast
of Paris,” enacted by Miss Dove
The complications which en-
sue when the “master” and
Misstress” of romance meet on
common ground form the basis
of an amazing and highly-
spiced tale of love and advent-
ure.
Billie Dove is seen in a vam-
pish impersonation for the first
time, and gives the most in-
triguing performance of her
career.
“Cock of the Air.” is strictly
a farce, and it contains as many
real 1 aughs as can be p acked
into a single entertainment.
More than this, it has been
filmed in a back ground of
limid tk« most lavish
setting ever used in a motion
picture and with musical em-
bellishments which contribute
to both the plot motif and
general magnificience of the
production.
Added to this are a series of
thrilling air scenes, reminiscent
of the spectacular quality of
“Hell’s Angels.”
