By MARGARET SCHULER
Rome - Rome is full of a
number of things besides the
Forum, 400 churches, automo
biles and elections. It is filled
with anecdotes, myths, tales
(old and new) . . . and people.
This is a story I recently
heard. A tall, modish Ameri
can girl stood on a corner. A
voice beside her caused her to
look down at a litle Italian
man. He said, "Scusi, Signora,
I would like to know you; In
fact, 1 would like to marry
you." He gave her an excel
lent reason. He was such a
little shrimp, he said that he
hoped he could marry a tall
wife so that he would have
tall children. So she married
himl And they are living hap
pily ever after, with two chil
dren, growing bigger by the
day.
Now that is a true story. I
know the woman. She belongs
to the American Woman's
club in Rome, and is rather an
important person. She is big
and good looking to boot.
Rents Table
Here is another one. At the
Excelsior in Rome, predomi
nantly inhabited by the upper
moneyed bracket Americans,
lives permanently a woman
from the States. Her age is
uncertain, although her hair
is dark. She rents a coffee
table and two of the high

backed arm chairs in the big
lounge. She rents it and has a
Reserve sign on it, all the
time. She sits, and she sleeps
most of the day and evening
in one chair, leaving occasion
ally to walk into the dining
room close to her. Occasional
ly it is necessary to oust some
one who has been brash
enough to ignore the poster
on the table. And she does it.
I suppose it would not be pos
sible to find out the price of
such an arrangement in the
busiest, biggest, most affluent
hotel in the city, but it would
be interesting to know.
One of the most unusual
and entertaining spectacles on
the Via Vento, where there
are many amusing things to
see, is that of a sly little beg
gar woman, making sport of
waiters and customers alike.
Her beat is on both sides of
the avenue; the exclusive
Cafe DeParis on the one side,
and Doney's, the foreigners'
paradise, on the other.
Natural Actress
She wears for her work, i
simple black dress, not too
poor, and a red ribbon around
her hair. Bending forward a
bit, the finished, little natural
actress, deceptively timid and
humble, slithers up to men at
coffee tables, with little
cupped hands plteously out
stretched. Instinctively they
reach into pockets.
Distracted, busy waiters try
in vain to edge her off. But
she is too smart for them. She
passively resists, and sort of
flows around them, cunning
ly out - maneuvering them.
When two of them (and it
takes two) exasperated, finally
edge her to the curb, she hides
in the shrubbery for a few
minutes, peering and peeping
out, and then returns to her
Job.
What she tries to bait the
waiters into doing, is to push
her, or even to touch her.
Promptly, she then falls down,
and sympathy flows from
kind hearted tourists, and bus
iness prospers more than ever.
She was gone during the
cold weather. Possibly, yes,
probably, she winters some
where on the Riviera. But
Spring is here and money is
in the air.
May and June herald the
season of sunshine and flow
ers but this lovely time of
year also brings showers ap
propriately accompanied by
wedding bells. And showers
and weddings mean parties
for the prospective bride and
groom as well as a reception
after the big event.
As refreshments for both
shower and a reception you
can't do better than choose
cake and ice cream. Both
should be something special,
of course, and what could be
more special than petit fours,
those eye appealing little
French cakes, cut from a big
sheet of white cake and frost
ed with fondant frosting?
Special ice cream might
well be in molds, but just as
eye appealing and delicious is
the pastel ice cream punch
shown in the footed punch
bowl. The combination of
fruit juice and chilled spark
ling water provides a refresh
ing beverage in which scoops
of fruit sherbet and vanilla
ice cream float. It makes a
party version of an old fash
ioned ice cream soda, smooth
and satisfyinR to drink and
perfectly delicious to cat!
PASTEL SHERBET
CREAM PUNCH
One one -pint two -fluid
ounces can pineapple juice,
chilled (2'j cups) ;one pint
lime, lemon or respberry sher
bet; one pint vanilla ice
cream; one 12-fluid ounces
bottle chilled sparkling water,
Combine pineapple juice,
sherbet and one-half of the ice
cream; beat until smooth and
add sparkling water. Spoon
remaining ice cream into
punch. Serve immediately.
Makes seven cups of punch,
enough for 14 one-half cup
servings.
Pastel Punch made wth
lemon sherbet or raspberry
sherbet would make a good
summer drink or soda base,
particularly nice for bridal
showers or birthday parties.
All three drinks are pretty,
and would make an attractive
combination if all were served
at bigger parties.

Hints on How
To Clean Tiles
Given by Trade
If your New Year's resolu
tion is to keep a neater house,
why not start with the easy
projects, to get the right
frame of mind?
In most homes these will be
cleaning the ceramic tile walls
and floors in the bathroom.
A quick washing with house
hold detergent and water nor
mally will be all that is re
quired. However, if hard wa
ter and soap deposits have
built up over a period of time
they may require scouring
powder and a stiff bristle
brush.
Unglazed tile, such as those
used on the floor, can be
scrubbed or scraped in cases
of long neglect or accidental
spillage.
Here are some additional
hints from the Tile Council of
America, trade association
which represents leading
ceramic tile manufactures, on
how to clean especially diffi
cult smudges: Rust marks, re
move with good commercial
rust remover, which ia avail
able at most hardware stores;
rubber heel marks, scrub with
abrasive type cleaner or kero
sene, or rub with soft rubber
pencil eraser; joints between
tile, seldom become stained
in bathrooms, but may be
stained by grease on kitchen
countertops. Scrub with
' scouring powder, washing
soda or caustic soda. Paint
spots may be scraped off with
a knife or razor blade.
