Wife of Ambassador
She Reflected Credit On ‘America. ;
By RUTH MILLETT (Copyright, 1933, NEA Service, Inc.)
E, the women, seemed to hold our own in 1938. We turned
in creditable performances in business, in literature,” in the. arts, in
|sports and in the professions.
And it is froni the ranks of these “career women” that the Outstanding Woman of any year usually is chosen. But taking a long backward look at 1938, the American woman who seems ~to have really “done us proud. is' one who managed to sell the world on the American Family. She is Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy, who when her husband was ap-
ain, set five of her nine-children to packing and proceeded to give the world a new and gracious picture of American women and American family life. In a year. she has shown Europeans that the typical American woman is not patterned after .our heiresses who promise to love; honor and endow their titled escorts, or the slinky; false-eyelashed movie version of womanhood.

Late Christmas parties will be held tomorrow by Chapter S, P. E. O. Sisterhood and the Butler Alumnae Literary Club. *Miss Naomi Tevebaugh, 2823 Washington Blvd., will entertain tomorrow for members of Chapter S, with Mrs. R. K. Lewis as.assistant hostess.

Carter and Miss "Esther Fay Shover will entertain: members of the Butler alumnae group tomorrow. The party committee includes Miss Fay Cantrall, Miss ‘Shover and Mrs. Philip B. Lyon.
It’s Never Too Early to [Learn
~ Good d Grooming
‘By ALICIA HART." The girl who learns at an early age to appreciate the importance of meticulous grooming in relation to clothes as well as personal cleanliness and daintiness, is more than _ likely to be'chic at 25. If, between the ages 6f 12 and 17, she is taught to put her dress on a hanger the moment she tages it off, to .brush it carefully before wearing it again, to. keep frocks and | suits neatly pressed; shoes ‘shined and hats. brushed, she: will have progressed a long way on the road ‘to being attractively smart by the time she is 19. There's no reason why a girl of high school age cannot spend a couple of hours one night a week shining her shoes, using a bit of cleaning fluid on the inside bands of her hats and the inside of fur collars, repainng broken shoulder straps or replacing worn shoe strings with fresh ones and manicuring her nails.” As a matter of fact; she'll probably -enjoy. doing such simple tasks. - But, whether- she enjoys -them or not, & she does them regularly, she'll forming excellent habits -instead of bad ones. In addition to her tooth brushes, hair brush, comb : and manicure kit, every young girl ought to have her own bottle of hand lotion, a light, softening night cream and an antiperspirant or deoderant. Her room certainly should be equipped with a clothes brush, shoe trees and hat stands. The more she is encouraged to use these regularly, the ‘fewer grooming problems she'll have later on.

for meals, always help one another, be courteous and considerate, and own up to any of their small faults, telling the truth no mater what the penalty.”
That might be an American speaking—speaking for the great majority of us. And that is what Mrs. Kennedy did in 1938. She told the world what we're really like— and made it like the picture.
She told, not by writing a book or making speeches; but by seeing that the Kennedy family kept her promise, before they left America, “We'll just be ourselves,”

Women in Many Fields Outstanding
Many women, in many fields, earned distinction in 1938: Pearl Buck, who, by winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, silenced critics who say “women amount to nothing in the arts”; Bette Davis, Who introduced common sense into divorce proceedings by letting her husband get the divorce because she was busy; Scarlett O'Hara for continuing to be the best known woman of our time. : Others of note: Helen Wills Moody, who staged a championship comeback; Brenda Frazier, whose dark beauty and. strapless evening gowns typified the 1938 debutante; Deanna Durbin, who proved | that adolescence needn’t be the “awkward age.”
Ruth McKenney, who wrote “My Sister, Eileen,” and Margaret Hal-

Some,” have proven that women do have a sense of humor. And, as ever, Eleanor Roosevelt is honored for being so completely herself.

By SALLY MACDOUGALL Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—-Anyone who wants to lay eyes on New York's richest woman and see how she spends her money will have to go to the races or to one of her own philanthropic fetes.
Mrs. Payne Whitney is a restaurant. For years she hasn't
The country’s most notable woman spends lavishly on horses. Her board bill for thoroughbreds and the men that take care of them je ride them is said to be $1000 a day. Grocery stores, feed stores ‘and the onés that sell currycombs, brushes, blankets, halters ard racetrack haberdashery get far more of Mrs. Whitney's money than the elegant shops that sell furs and frocks and jewels to the millionaire class. Friends say that she thinks far more about the lively pink and black-striped silks worn by the jockeys that ride her horses to glory than she does about her own unobtrusive beige or black or dovegray tailored ensembles.
Lavishly Retires Horses She plans expensively for retired
for superannuated servants that live in comfort to the énd of their days and for five cooks and stails of servants in that many homes. Horses and helpers return in kind when they've got it in them.
Daughter Likes Books
Mrs. Wihney’s only son, John Hay Whitney, is her partuer in the Greentree Stables. Her daughter Joan, Mrs. Charles Shipman Payson, cares more for books than for horses. The son and daughter will get $25,000,000 each when they turn 40. Vast trust funds. ere stored away for Mrs. Payson’s four chil-
“Liz,” have no heirs. Mr. Payson, the son-in-law, was left one million dollars in the will. > Free from worry about the young ones’ future, Mrs. Whitney can afford to write staggering checks. for the upkeep of her animals. The Greentree Stables were just getting off to a good start with a winning horse or two when Mr. Whitney died.. Mrs. Whitney picked up his plans and is still going ahead after spending 10 million dollars there. At her New Jersey estate, near Red Bank, most of the 163 acres are for horses’ training tracks and galloping rings. Forty men are on the payroll this fall. It takes what anyone else would consider a fortune to rin her mil-lion-dollar home at 972 Fifth Ave, which, with the Georgia estate, was a gift from Mr. Whitney's bachelor great-uncle, Col. Oliver Payson, one of the founders of Standard Oil.
Private Railway Car
There: is a big white house in Saratoga, where Mrs. Whitney lives in the -August racing season. During the Derby :season she occupies the house on her breeciing farm near Lexington. . Mrs. Whitney’ s fifth establishment is her private railway car, the Wanderer, where she enjoys the comforts: of ‘home between racetracks, and where Harvey, a stalwart Negro cook, likes te hear his mistress say that the Tod he pree

Hay Whitney was young. She got her schooling in Paris, Vienna, Madrid and London while her famous father, John Hay, was in the diplomatic service. Years before she was born he had been secretary to President Lincoln and an editor and author in New York. He was Secretary of. State at the time of her brilliant marriage in 1902 to the second son of the fabulously wealthy William H. Whitney. When her children were small she devoted herself to them and to writing poetry. She also wrote a book of old family recipes. It came to light at a charity fete in her Manhasset garden, donated along with
a racehorse and other items she
contributed for the sale. Mrs. Whitney's newest extravagance is Arcaro, the country’s most publicized jockey. Perhaps she will not consider him an extravagance when her entries come tearing along the turf, Arcaro up, in pink and
‘black stripes. For, according to the
sports writers’ count, he has already “kicked home” 600 winners.
Frosted Black Found Tempting Style Contrast
By GERTRUDE BAILEY Times Special Writer
Black, frosted with white, is the freshest contrast in fashion right now. It is seen in beautifully groomed dresses of black crepe with wide expanses of white pique in collars and revers. It is seen in dressier versions of soft black ‘crepe, tucked and shirred a} neckline and sleeves, and treated with delicate appliques of frothiest white lingerie. * These are the midseason styles designed to tempt you when your

Some of the girls with an eye. to southern: cruises: have figured out that they can make the most of a Nigh fashion in the North by. quickly ‘ducking under a white hat, in the full knowledge that the same hat will be news later on with bright colored and white spectator sports clothes in warmer climes. : So take: a tip from the Snow

“Party Menu
{| Guests Are Pleased and Supper Doesn’t Require ‘Much Fuss.
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX ‘The “social season” is in full swing, so let's be gay. Supper parties seem to please both hostess and guests and they don’t ‘require much fuss. Use your dining room table as the buffet. One large hot dish, a salad,
to serve. * You will find it a far wiser plan to put most of your money into one delicious main dish, than to serve a bewildering ‘array of pickles, olives, condiments and relishes. These will run up your costs just as high as a really exciting ang.) unusual entree.
Try this party menu. It is simple and well balanced, yet: really unusual. Use only white turkey meat, keeping the other parts for the family on the following day. Southern creamed turkey de luxe, toasted cornmeal
with watercress, raspberry ice and assorted small, rich cakes and wafers, black coffee. Serve the hot, creamed turkey, toasted cornmeal muffins, jam and
plate. This ‘will save service and confusion. : Any fruit ice can be chosen, or else a chilled fruit gelatin dessert, if you prefer. :
“Celery With Watercress:
To stuff. the celery (which is a crisp and pleasing salad. course), chop fresh watercress slightly and
The cress is springy and will press against the celery and stay in place. It requires no dressing to bind it. When the guests arrive, serve canapes, nuts and tiny sandwiches, and chilled beverages. After that serve the supper. The gentlemen
|oresent will help the hostess serve |- .|the plates to the othér guests. Coffee .|is. served after the dessert course.
Southern Creamed Turkey de Luxe (Serves 10)
Five cups cooked turkey cut in large cubes (use only white meat free from gristle), butter,” 5 tablespoons: flour, 1 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons minced white onion, 3 cups clear chicken or white vegetable stock, 1%4 cups heavy cream, ls teaspoon mace, salt; white pepper, few drops Worcestershire sauce. To make vegetable stock, simmer celery leaves, carrot, parsley, onion and turnip together and strain, Melt butter, add flour. Mix well and slowly stir in the chicken or vegetable stock.
