WOMA Garnish Gives Dressy Appearance BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER To make the foods served at our tables attractive in appearance is de- sirable at any season. No time is eas- jer than in the Summer, when greens and garnishes are at hand most abun dantly. The obvious garnishes, such as parsley and cress, need not be dwelt upon as much as certain others which can be prepared and which may not be farther away than the ice box, flow- er garden or field. Whether in city or country, you can make your dishes| A GARNISH OF RADISH ROSES WITH CURLED LETTUCE IS AMONG THE MOST ATTRACTIVE. appealing to the eve as well as palate in ways which will cost you nothing. So 1 speak especially of utilizing what is at hand in the way of gar- nishes. Lettuce as a garnish lacks the dainty delicacy of appearance which a garnish should have, unless used in connection with a very large serving dish. But lettuce can be made to serve as a garnish which will rank with the ‘1) | By clever use of garnishing, a most | before the king. | looks good is apt to taste better.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. Clarence Davis, aged 20, was anxious to buy an automobile. Having suffi- cent money to make an initial deposit, Davis selected a machine and ar- ranged to pay the balance in install- ments. Before entering into the agreement, the automobile concern, knowing that minors may repudiate their contracts, questioned Davis as to his age. Davis falsely replied that he was 24 years old. When the second installment fell due, Davis failed to meet it and the auto concern repossessed the machine. Thereupon, Davis informed the com- pany that he was under legal age and demanded the return of the money he had paid. The company refused to refund the money, asserting that, having mis- represented his age, Davis could no longer use his infancy to repudiate the contract. Davis consulted an attorney as to his rights. The matter having oc- curred in a jurisdiction whose courts had not yet ruled on the point, the attorney declared: “In a majority of States the courts hold that misrepresentation by the infant as to his age does preclude him from his ordinary right of re- pudiating his contracts. The Fed- eral courts, however, hold that not- withstanding the misrepresentation as to age, an infant may still repudiate his contract. This view has been fol- lowed by @ number of the State courts best and prettiest if it is prepared for this purpose by a very simple means SOUND AUCTION BRIDGE BY WILBUR C.

Trick 1. With the exceptional sup- port held by Dummy, there is a Small Slam laid down, four Clubs, four Dia- monds, thres Hearts and a Spade. It the outstanding Hearts are divided equally between the adversaries, a Grand Slam will be made. 1f, how- ever, they are not so divided or the Jack does not fall on the third round, it would appear that a Spade trick must be lost, as there is no finesse in the suit.

SUB ROSA BY M Inside Dope of Flirting. There may be some lost arts and | dead languages, but flirting isn't among the number of these has-beens. It's as old as the hills, a8 new as the shingle bob. Women may have changed the styles of switch and skirt, but if they are short on dress and hair, they are just as long on the goo- BOo eyes. You see, a girl likes to have a cer- tain kind or grade of love, but she likes to keep the lover at a distance. That's why she starts flirting. Then girls like to tease the men and make themselves believe that they are attractive to the superior sex. Where a man is satisfied to use his arts of lady killing to get one or two speci- mens, a_woman acts as though she wanted to kill all the men and ex- terminate the whole race of ‘em. Of course, a girl flirts naturally and unconsciously, just as a humming bird hums and chipmunk chips. She may be advertising her charms the the manufacturer of soap, talcum powder or stockings does, but she has no such definite purpose in her dis- play of charms. It's just natural with 1t's a gitt. But I believe that, deep down in the heart of woman, the real motive of the flirt is something esthetical. It is the desire for expression, and that is art. That natty hat, those nifty pumps and the tricky stockings are just so many forms of her woman's art. Woman is artistic and dramatic, too. All the world's a stage for her, and her get-up is really her make-up. The talented woman may express her- self on stage and screen, but the girl who has been gypped out of the chance to act is going to start a little show of her own. I know there may be a certain matrimonial twist to all this fllrting business, and the girl who togs her- selt up may have the idea of orange blossoms under her bob. Her little ears may be muffled by the mud- guards she combs over them, but you won't have to use the loud speaker when it comes to talking marriage. She'll hear, all right. That's woman for you! She may look independent, now that she has the job, but she's all ready to take the man down to the office and say to the other girls, “Meet the husband.” (Copyright. 1927.)

C., in sending in her ideas on discipline, writes a magnifi- cent eulogy of her mother. She say “I have a daughter 6 months old, and my one desire is to be to her what my mother was to me. My mother never scolded her family of six (four girls and two boys), nor ever whipped us, neither did we ‘spring up.’ We were reared. “Mother usually agreed with us, if we were right. She never told us that one thing or another was right or wrong, but merely suggested, and gave a reason. In our home there was no such thing as ‘no means no,” or any hard or set rule about any- thing. Mother was too kind and sac- rificing to hurt or be hurt. She talked to us a great deal and went for walks with us. In short, although a great deal older than myself, who was the youngest, my mother was the whole world to us. She was married at 14, “Although we never felt the iron hand, mother must have had one. If a child disobeyed, the next time he asked for something his former dis- obedience was made plain to him and a refusal was in order. But if mother saw full repentance her never-failing sympathy and kindness conquered. “In the evening, when mother called us by clapping her hands (she never raised her voice inside or out- side of the house) we did not coax to stay longer, but if we were interested in a game, mother waited until the game was finished and excitement subsided before calling us. “We were taught never to spend foolishly. A few pennies a day seemed to satisfy us. The money, bills and change, were kept in a dish on the buffet, but we never touched it without mother's permission. If we wanted 2 cents and mother said 1, a rare occasion, we took but 1-cent. “No matter what age, each child told mother where he was going, with whom and the time he expected to be home. Mother always remained awake until the last one ‘turned in.’ We never played far from home, and when we were out of sight one would run home every once in a while to ask if all was O. K. “Mother trusted us implicitly. We told the whole truth, for no punish- ment was greater than hurting moth- er's feelings. | Perhaps you may think we were always at her apron strings. But the boys have traveled all over the world and the girls are in their own homes | using the common sense developed' under mother's roof.

FARMERETTE. Answer—Cut down to the minimum time, the manicure should include the tollowing steps: (a) Soak the finger- tips in warm soapy water until the cuticle is soft and may be pushed down gently with the flat end of an orange-wood stick wrapped in cotton. Instead of using water, you may em- ploy one of thg commercial cuticle softeners if you wish. (b) File and clean the nails. (c) Apply vour polish and buff your nails. Liquid polishes give quicker results than the other forms, but they are not in such good taste, since they give too bright a luster to please the fastidious in these matters. Give your nails a thorough leisurely manicuring once a week.

Now that Tilden has lost his crown all the American man tennis players will have to work hard and send forth a new champion. women’s laurels. But probably all the girls will still wish to perfect their game. In the first place all the Summer va- cationists who have been rather inac- tive through the Winter months should take this warning: They should not plunge furiously into several sets of tennis the first day. This applie of course, to any exercise or game. The body must gradually speed up because a sudden change from seden- tary life to active games may cause dilation of the heart. * Quickness and accuracy are neces- sary to good tennis. Proper food be- fore and after a game will not only help the playing of your game, but will keep you fit. Violent ‘exercise should not be in- dulged in shortly after eating. Time should be givea for the digestion of a meal before playing tennis. The intense actlvity cails the blood away trom the stomach annd slows up diges- tion. Distress may follow. Just before the game one or two generous glasses of lemonade, not too cold, can be taken. The water will make up for the perspiration lost. It could be sweetened with sugar or honey. This will supply quick energy. The lemon juice contains minerals, vitamins and is cleansing. If a long game is played, lemonade could be taken during the game. It should not be too cold. Just cool enough to be palatable.

The early settlers must have had an astonishing fear of snakes, or the ophidian tribe must have been many- fold more numerous then than it is now to account for so many plants reputed to cure snake bite. Not one of them, I think, possesses any power against the venom of the adder or the rattler or the moccasin. Yet there are in our region plants bearing such suggestive names as snakeroot, button snakeroot, Sampson's snakeroot, Sen- eca snakeroot, Virginia snakeroot, white snakeroot, snakehead, rattle- snake fern, rattlesnake grass, rattle- snake plantain, rattlesnake weed, rat- tlesnake root and rattlesnake master. The last is in bloom now, and strange indeed it is. Rattlesnake master leaves a slender stem and clasping, prickly leaves, for all the world like some yucca, and at its top half a dozen strange, spiny balls that have made some wonder if it was not a thistle! A far cry from yucea to thistle, yet it is neither, but an umbellifier, a family to which be- long such homely familiars as Queen | Anne's lace, parsley and caraway.
