Former White House Etiquet Dictator Now Runs Business Miss Laura Harlan, one-time circles has entered the real estate ington, D. C.

BY GEORGE BRITT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON. Official gold lace and red tape have been shelved for the shirt-sleeved informality of business in the life of Laura Harlan. For 14 years the daughter of the late Justice John M. Harlan, supreme court, was social secretary to the wives of presidents and high officials. Then this fall she sent out invitations to her largest party and the one of all others in which she took greatest interest.

The invitation--a formal card in an alluring and spotlessly correct envelope--said "Miss Laura Harlan, Residental Real Estate Houses and Apartments, Insurance." It was scarely less of a contrast in occupations than if David Belasco should pick up a sample case and become a drummer for canned vegetables. The fashionable northwest section of Washington watched the venture. How was Miss Harlan going to modify the heavy propriety of White House social habits to the practical uses of "go-gettem" real estate trading? Well, you won't get the answer to that by asking Miss Harlan direct. The tall woman with the thick glasses and the cautiosly modulated voice will talk with as persistence as any professional realtor about houses and apartments. But her training a social secretary inhibits talk about herself.

Office Is Parlor Her office gives away some of the secret. Her office is the front parlor of her home. Fancy a real estate office with a grand piano early American chairs and good reproductions of Corot on the walls, with never a blue print or a notary's commission in sight! through general about home sites in Chevy Chase and the difficulty of landing desirable apartments at small rentals, one captures a thought or two which round out Miss Harlan's conception of her new business. Until the death of her father in 1911, she had been simply a fairly typical Washington wom-1 dictator of etiquette in White House and insurance business in Wash- an of social eminenee, interested in society and music but engaged in no material pursuit. When her father died, she decided to go to work.

Her principal capital was her wide acquaintance and her detailed knowledge of the city's intricate social structure and code. She put all this to use first as secretary to Mrs. George W. Wickesham, wife of the attorney general. Then she served part of a season secretary to Mrs.

Taft at the White House. There followed a variety of engagements, including long stays at the British and Argentine embassies. She returned to the White House with Mrs. Harding and remained with Mrs. Coolidge until last summer.

In this artificial social hierarchy of which Miss Harlan has been a favorite lady-in-waiting. there was a dignified formula for every situation. An ambassador takes precedence over any mere envoy, congress outranks the army land navy, and each one recognizes his relative superiority and inferiority. Not SO in business. The would-be purchaser of a $75,000 home actually, may receive more notice one with only to spend.

But the latter must not be allowed to realize it. "Service" must be equally attentive to all, and Miss Harlan knows that. Her acquaintance with people and social customs, which was her great asset in her other work, is her principal reliance today. Already it has brought her a bulky list of property for sale and lease. It brings customers and gives authority to her opinions.

Miss Harlan believes the accepted business creed that knowledge of people is the most valuable knowledge. Another point upon which Miss Harlan has the advantage over hundreds of more established rea! estate brokers. It discretion, proved boy her years faithful custody the colorful intimacies of notables. Personal secrets of her clients should be safe with her, and that is an important factor in many homes.

CHURCH SUPPERS By GUDRUN CARLSON Director, Department of Home Economics, Institute of American Meat Packers There are still among us some! good souls who pride themselves on serving A church supper with tables laden to capacity and, shall we say, with everyone eating to over-capacity. A lament on the heard passing of such things can be occasionally but may it be drowned out by the coming of saner ideas on the subject. Just a warning to those who. may be tempted to 50 to other extreme. Do not forget the art of cooking and so turn the supper into a tin can repast.

Quantity may be reduced, but the quality should improve. Whether the supper is intended for profit or for pleasure or for both, it may be made a social time with good food nicely served. In this day of self-service it is often a saving of time and work to use a buffet style of serving. The food, whether hot cold, can be kept in better condition. Chairs and tables can be arranged in any interesting manner.

Water. coffee, sweets or other accompaniments can be passed to each table so that guests are not overburdened by trying to carry too much. However, this service omitted even the tables, dispensed with if each guest Is given a tray. Plan Far Ahead To simplify the planning and work of giVing a church supper, certain rules will be found helpful: 3 i 1. Plan the supper at least or 4 weeks in advance so that all! Dr.

To that end. an elaborate organization has been formed. and the association acts to regulate and control ed athletics.

During the past year, the most important act of the association has been the enforcing of training rules on girls who were "out" for hockey and soccer.

Estimate the number expected to attend and plan the type of menus which can be efficiently cooked and served.

Avoid too many kinds of food. Choose those dishes which will not spoil If they have to stand a while after cooking. Some things should be such as can be prepared the day beforene if time, equipment, and limited. 3. Group the work and assign exact duties to each person who is to assist: to illustrate-(a) preparation of each dish; (b) dishes, linen, needed: (c) serving, and (d) cleaning up after the supper.

Definite responsibility should be place on each one sO that a few do not stand the brunt of the whole affair, as too often happens. 4. Lay out the plan for serving in detail; see that each one assisting with that part of the work knows her specific duties. 5. Time the preparation of the food, coffee, SO that all is ready to serve at the right time.

6. Where many persons are working in one group and it is difficult to direct each one, an excellent idea is to post the menu together with the following items: Each dish with amount, time to be ready and persons responsible for it. List of silver, china, glass, linen, needed. Duties of each person. Simple directions or diagram of method of serving.

The little time taken in writing down these items will be repaid by the greater speed and ease with which the whole affair can be'accomplished. The question of cost may be an important one if the purpose of the supper is to make some profit. A dollar's worth of food and work may be sold for 50 cents. That is poor business unless something not measured by money is gained also. Careful thought should as a rule be given to the cost of dishes selected.

Food to be good, need not be expensive it it is well cooked and attractively served. A combination plate is a good choice where buffet service is to be used. Foods which can all be seryed on one plate must be selected. For summer a plate such as sliced ham, cold slaw, radishes. and plain bread and butsandwiches could be chosen, while in winter hot plate such 3s ham or beef loaf.
