Then your birlhstone is a garnet, and your flower either the carnation or the snowdrop. And since there's an alternative in the flower I'm going to suggest an alternative for the January birthday cake. The Snowdrop Theme If you choose the snowdrop- then we’ll have a snow and ice motif for the birthday table. Use a blue table cloth—light blue, of course. Or cover the table with light blue cellophane. Then around the aides of the table attach a border of white- crepe paper cut in deep irregular points to represent icicle*. In the center of the table arrange a white cotton snow bank for your cake plate. You can make cotton look like crusted snow by brushing some white liquid over it. White shoe polish would do. Sprinkle glistening artificial snow over the cotton. Your table will look like Old Man Winter's front yard with a big white cake covered with snowy coconut and with light blue candies twinkling on top of H. The Carnation Theme Let’s have th* cams lions red—to match the garnet hirthstone. A low bowl of red camatuma on a snowy white table cloth makes a dignified birthday table. The eake can be before the place of the birthday person. It, too, will be a snowy looking white iced cake—but the candle* will be red—and the cake itself win be chocolate. WHITE COCONUT CAKE Yi ewp shortening (part butter) % tap. salt I cup sugar ■> cup thin milk or coconut milk th cape sifted cake flour or 1H I tap. flavoring cup* sifted all purpose flour 4 egg whites 1H Up. baking powder Cream shortening, add sugar gradually and cream thoroughly. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Blend in the flavoring. Fold in the egg whites beaten until stiff but not dry. Pour into 1 well-groa-<-I and floured deep round 9-in<-h layer pan or one H-inch square pan. and bake 30 to 35 minute* in a moderate oven, 350 F. Far Two Layer* The I layer cake of courae is more convenient for cutting. But if you wiah a two*layer cake, double the recipe. Coconut Frosting 1 rap sugar I 1 egg white H cup water (8 tablespoons) I h tsp. vanilla % tap. cream of tartar I h cup grated fresh coconut Mix together the *ugar, water and cream of tartar Boil this mixtare slowly without stirring until it spins a thread, 238" to 242' F. keeping the pan covered for first 3 minutes of cooking U> prevent crystab forming on side of pan. Pour hot syrup slowly over stiffly beaten egg white, beating with rotary beater until icing begins to utiffen. Add vanilla. Then use a spoon or win- whip until mixture is fluffy and will hold it* shape. Spread icing on top and sides of cake, or cut the layer in half (if not making a birthday cake) and ice as a layer eake. Sprinkle top and side* of cake with coconut. This is enough icing for a 1-laycr cake. Double it for whole two layer eake. If icing does not set so that it will stay on cake, add 2 to 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until stiff enough. ■■■■■ ■ ■ ' ' Cflßjf|ol WII by Betty Crffirta. ■■ ■' ■ — If you have any apeciflc cooking problem!, tend a fetter requesting Information to Betty Crocker In ears of this newspaper.

N!TW YORK Wc'rr a bit dis appointed in Mr. Clifford Odets and "Clash by Night,’’ his play currently <« the Belasco Theatre. Mr. Odets Is a good playwright who t'sualy has something to say. It's true that “Rocket to the Moon” wasn’t what might have been tailed interesting convcran tion, but granting Homer his nod. Odets can have hi* ping. You can't ring the bell every time, and “Rocket to the Moon" wasn't the clamor of a fire gong. "Clash by Night" offers us no very good reason to sit through an evening in Ute theatre except to show that Mr. Odets can still, for the most part, write good lines, and that he Is sincere. Sincerity is a drug on the the atre market when the chief ingre dient in the play is a dope. The story of “Clash by Night” is the marriage of s strong but dumb Pole to a bitter biddy, relict-on the wrong side of the sheets of a Pennsylvania politician. The dope brings home his best friend, a wolf whose habitat Is the pro Jetaion booth of a movie theatre. The friend makes love to the wife, takes her away from the dope, who subsequently is moved to go to the projection both and strangle the stnartie. That's all. What could have convinced Mr. Bily Rose that "Clash by Night” was important enough for him to produce? The Odets play is puny even as a play. Compiired with ''Jumbo” and the Aquacade ft's astronomical in figure to the right of the decimal point. We were never a pushover for the art of the Magnificent Talululah. We thought that Miss Bank F rad's best scene in “The Little Foxes” was when she was offstage, with that shrewish, bitter, Incredibly bItUT voice nagging away at a dying husband. Aa the petulant wife of the dopey young Pole we thought her miscast. The actual magnificence of the play lay In the superb acting of Lee Cobb as the Pole. He did a wonderful job And we wish we could say aa much for Joseph Schild kraut, who was the wise guy. We can't. He never had his cost on straight. What our Mr. Schildkraut needs is a peruke, silk hose, a snuff box and aeveral egad* The play* of Otflord Odets are no spot for such accoutrement* of grandeur. We think Mr. Odet* .should gt> back and revise his idea* bt social signiheanog. He

is an important and able play* wright. lie ought to write important play*. An Important play which might have profited from Mr. Odets'* dramatic genius is "In Time to Como." at the Mansfield. It's about President Wilson, written by Howard Koch and John Huston. It's a good play in the sense that It offers something more than mere oratory. It gives what might very possibly be a good picture of the disintegration of a j great man, of the tragic buffeti Ings an idealist receives at the hands of selfish realists. It's also a pretty good commentary on what is wrong with American diplomacy. Messrs. Koch and Huston raise the curtain on Wilson as he pre pares to leave for France with the plan for the League of Nation* and his fourteen points in hl* pocket. They lower It on a beaten and disappointed and bit ter man who shrinks from those he loved, retreats into death and a certain quixotic deathlessncss In the interim every one of the few of his fourteen points he is able to get across is the product of compromise. He is chivvied by Italy and France and England into the wreckage of his hopes. He trades horses because he can’t help himself and is bested because he's an amateur. A bril llant comet of hope when he lands in France, two months turn him into a battered shuttlecock, discredited, hopeless, beaten. “In Time to Com*" isn't a pretty picture, but there’s truth in it, and maybe a lesson. If the play drags at time* it’s because the subject itself won’t allow overdramatization. It kept us fascinated, because It made vividly real the great dream of a fine man and the tatter of rags Into which Clemenceau. Orlando ami Idoydtleorgc ripped it. The acting was uniformly good. Rich and Gaines did a convincing job as Wilson, Nedda Harrigan as his wife, Russell Collins as Colonel House, Rene RoberU as Sonlno, Guy Sorel fix Clemenceau and House Jameson as Senator

Lodge. We’ve gone a long way since Wilson went to Paris wearing hte virtue on his shield, but not far enough. There’s a lot of meat in ’ln Time to Come,” yet you won’t have to chew too hard It’s a good play and good theatre.
