Homemaking—

Days With Iced Beverages Cool Off on Sultry Summer

IT'S NOT EASY to laugh when your smug friends postcard from Minnesota that theyre sleeping under blankets, and you're sitting at home wondering if Ethiopia is any worse. But maybe, if you've a couple of tricks up your rolled-up sleeve for mixing long, cold drinks that make short work of hot days—maybe vou can muster a chuckle in the

shade of your porch. If the budget doesn’t groan, stock your refrigerator with several bottles of assorted beverages and experiment with new flavors and combinations. Here are a few—all of them guaranteed pick-me-ups when used with plenty of ice and a slice or dash of citrus fruit for vitamin C. Maybe you can invent a few more. Toss in a sprig of mint, invite the neighbors over, and discuss the situation in Iceland. That's a handy topic to have around any August day.

IT'S A DIRECT STEAL, but it's mighty clever. We mean the newest thing in fashions for coeds—‘"look alikes,” as introduced in the September Esquire. Last fall the female of the species stormed the men’s haberdasheries and came out with pork pie hats, sport jackets and top coats.

Most Exciting White House Job Is Helping With Speeches, Says Grace Tully

By ELEANOR RAGSDALE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—If you've been wondering how President Roosevelt has been getting along recently with his right-hand private secretary, Margaret “Missy” LeHand, on the sick list, stop worrying— undertstudy Grace Tully is on the job.

judge, but you and other thrifty housewives know that you can save money if you do not use the cream of the fruit crop in making sweet pickles. Margaret Sawyer, noted American authority on jam and jelly making, agrees that it's clever to use run-of-the orchard fruit for that purpose, a n d dreams up a few spicy taste-teas-ers designed for just such purposes. Follow these eight simple rules if you want success, Miss Sawyer advises: Fruit should be wellripened but not soft-ripened. When preparing whole fruit, matchmates (in size) should be chosen, but your knife can size the lot when you work with the comparatively inexpensive ‘“run-of-the-orchard” fruits. Discard all bruised and soft spots. Never cook more than 3 or 4 quarts at a time. Hard fruits should be washed, pared or peeled, cored or sliced, diced, crushed, grated or ground and shredded. Cherries should be pitted before washing. Pick over blackberries before washing and drain well. Stemmed fruits, like grapes, currants, and elderberries, should

be washed before stems are re- |

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I have been happily married for 10 years and we have three children. Recently I was desperately ill from pneumonia and my best woman friend who is a trained nurse came from» another town to take care of me. During the weeks that I was sick my husband was thrown in her company a great deal and fell madly in love with her. His infatuation was so evident that I mentioned it to him and he declared that he loved me as much as ever but that he loved her, too. She does not want him to divorce me and marry her as she claims to be as devoted to me as to him. She is not married but admits that if she ever met a single man like my husband she would marry. While she was here she was offered a steady job as a nurse in a doctor's office and if she takes it my husband wants her to live with us. He says their relationship is purely piatonic and her presence in the home would not interfere with our love. I gon't want her but I don't want to be narrow. What do you thing of this situation? HARASSED.

checked

”

Answer—The first word that comes to my mind is baloney. No matter how you try to whitewash a triangle it is still a triangle and one of the angles has to be eliminated. What has happened is very simple. While you were sick and incapacitated your husband was at loose ends and another woman stepped temporarily into your shoes as comforter and companion. Her devotign to you is a myth created to put a better face on a purely prigeitive reaction. Your husband has come up against temptation ang tries tc disguise its nature by calling it platonic. There is no sense in trying to dodge the facts by a virtuous front. Now you are well and on the job again and you do not want a nurse, rcomer or friend to help you make your home attractive to vour husband. Do not scorn him for becoming confused under emotional stress. Help him to see the situation for what it is without recourse to uplift and keep the family friend off the premises. Very likely she doesn’t see through herself at all. In my opinion this is not the first time she has found herself loving a married couple with emphasis on the man. I imagine she had much the same attitude toward her parents. On the surface she was devoted to her mother but, ch, how she would have liked to have father all to berself! She wouldn't exactly push mother out of the house, but if sne ever met a single man like father . . . well! This new drama is a repetition of the old with a change of actors. that's all. JANE JORDAN.

“Missy” with 21 years. It takes a little of the drama out of the situation to have such an experienced hand stepping into the intimate White House position. No heart-flutterings, no stagefright, none of the familiar trepidation every secretary feels about “how to handle the boss.” At least Grace Tully won't admit any of these things. “I may have felt these things long ago when I first started in working for the Roosevelts,” she qualifies with a twinkle in her blue Irish eyes. “But even then I started in working for Mrs. Roosevelt and she puts everyone at ease.” Now Miss Tully takes on the thousand personal jobs the President has for her—personal letters to answer, books and pictures to select, visiting God-sons to be looked after, special dishes to be ordered— plus the typing of speeches and handling of vital notes and documents, without turning a hair of her upswept coiffure. “One does the best one can, even though it may not be perfect,” she says. Two Jobs in 23 Years

Grace Tully was born in Bayonne, N. J. Her schooling and secretarial training were all in New York, as was her first job, that of

secretary to Cardinal Hayes. She's a Catholic, herself—has a brother lin the priesthood, ih fact — and stayed with the Cardinal ten years. She is justly proud of her job record—only two in 23 years. Evidently she doesn’t let her tendency to procrastinate on personal matters carry over in official life.

Most exciting times around the White House office, she says, are {speech-writing sessions. Advisors, | phrase-makers and extra sten'ographers make the Executive Offices hum.

“We just keep at it, revising and recopying late into the night, sometimes several days running. I al- | ways type the first draft and the | President's reading copy.” And often Grace Tully's eves are the only ones that see the President's last minute additions, scrawled hastily on the manuscript in his {own hand.

‘Grace Is a Swell Egg’

“Hitler is now cribbing the surprise ‘stab in the back’ phrase,” chortles Grace Tully, with a humor that must stand her in good stead to parry the President's gibes as well the friendly cracks of newsmen and photographers who {cover F. D. R.

“Yea, Grace is a swell egg,” {seems to be the reportorial con- | sensus. | Grace Tully needs her sense of humor and her steady nerves, too, in the strenuous double job she’s doing. “Missy” LeHand gave in after years of the heart-breaking pace and is recovering from neuritis and chronic heart ailment.
