FEATURES. Pickles Add BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. If -you want tempting meals this ‘Winter do not forget to have a variety of pickles. They give zest to simple menus. In one form or another there is scarcely a single family that does not enjoy them. Some prefer sour pickles, some highly spiced and sea- soned and others very mild kinds, but there are so many sorts that all tastes can be suited. Before the green to- matoes are gone, there is opportunity to put up some delicolus varicties. In salting down green tomatoes preparatory to pickling, It is advisable to put them in earthenware, enamel PICKL ARE GENERALLY PUT UP IN QUART SIZE JARS. or ‘porcelain containers rather than in metal of any kind. Use long-handled enameled spoons for mixing and stir- ring, or wooden spoons, though silver may be used, provided the plate has not worn through, exposing the metal beneath. Pickle Containers. If the pickles are of the sort that need to be sealed air tight, put them in glass jars with glass or porcelain- lin~d covers. Never put them in metal. Containers for pickles that do not have to be sealed should be wooden firkins, stone, earthen or enamelware eorocks or jars. Do not put pickles in Zest to Meals ously held grease. It is almost im- possible to kill the grease so that the acid will not bring it out. Vinegar and Spices. Use a mild cider vinegar, if possible, for pickling. If it is too strong, though this is not so likely as in olden times, it may be modified with water during the process of boiling. Whole spices are generally used. They are tied up in a small bag during the cooking, except such kinds as are left in after putting the pickles in contain- ers. The rest of the spices are re- moved. This is done so the pickles will not keep absorbing the taste and so become overspiced. Many spices are decidedly awkward in shape and appearance, and it is well that such do not have to be left in to spoil the tempting look of the pickles. Pears, Pickled, Gingered. This is the time also to do up pears. Many of the varieties that are taste- less when canned may be spiced and kled so that they are delicious, Mealy, bitter and puckery kinds of pears are best when put to this pur- pose. Ginger pears put up with lemon, ginger and sugar or sirup, make tasty relishes for Winter meals. They may be bolled until they are deep in color, with a rich juice, or cooked but a short time so that they resemble canned pears in the delicacy of their tone. Be rather sparing of the ginger root. 1t remains in and continues to add its strength to the flavor of fruit and juice. Ginger pears should be well sweetened. They are between spiced pears and a pear conserve. Conserve of Tomatoes. Both tomatoes and pears may be made into conserves. If tomato con- serve is to be made, prepare the toma- toes as for pickles, only cut them into chunks when putting them down in layers of salt. Let them stand over night. In the morning drain off the liquid and pour on fresh water. Drain and renew the water, allowing the tomatoes to stand in the water for an hour or more. Allow two cupfuls of sugar to each quart of the tomato chunks; one lemon, put through the food chopper, using the large knife; half cupful of seeded raisins and half cupful broken walnut meats. Allow one pint of water to each quart of these ingredients after mixing. -Sim- mer slowly until of the right con- sistency. Add more sugar if desired, remembering that cold viands do not taste as sweet as hot ones. Pear Conserve. In making pear conserve, peel and core the pears and cut them either into quarters or chunks. Add the same ingredients as for tomato con- serve. If the pears are sweet, allow less sugar; one and a half cupfuls to the quart may be sufficient. Sour oranges may be substituted for lemons VTVHE‘.

Another rather threatening day is foretold by astrologers, who find that adverse stars dominate. It is a day menacing for commer- clal venture, and foreshadows much speculation, especially in grains. There s a sign read as foreshadow- ing a struggle over aviation problems of the Government and much bitter feelings. Under this direction of the stars, there may be an inclination to pass hasty judgment on public men and public ‘questions. In the home, as well as in places of business, the wise will refrain from speaking hastily, for there is much misunderstanding under this rule of the_stars. Envy and jealousy may be unusu- ally apparent in human relations at this time, when the personal equation may be too strong. Selffishness, said to be more com- mon than formerly, is one of the hu- man traits supposed to be encouraged by this planetary government. The stars warn women that they must accept heavy responsibility in the marriage problems of the present, as well as in their solution for the future. if ‘the stars are read wisely, men are to outstrip women in purely in- tellectual progress, but women are to gain_new spiritual force which car- such containers if they have previ- BEDTIME STORIES Cubby Gets a Bath. Who gets in mischief has to pay: I not at once, some other day. —O0id Mother Nature. Cubby was caught. That sugar had been his undoing. Too late he realized it. His stomach had betrayed him, as stomachs have betrayed a great many people and will betray a great many more. He had been so eager for that sugar, that delicious maple sugar that Farmer Brown'’s Boy had held out for him, that he had forgotten everything else. So it was that l'armer Brown's Boy was able to get hold of him. When be found he was caught, Cubby strug- gled as only a small bear can. Such & mess! Most of that paste had dried, but down in the fur was some which hadn't. It was lucky for Farmer Brown's Boy that he ‘had on overalls and an old shirt. Having captured. him, Farmer Brown's Boy tock him over to the little house of Bowser the Hound, put his collar on him and saw to it that it fitted tighter than before and then chained him up. Then Farmer Brown’s Boy went off to the house. Presently he.came back with a tub. Then he brought pails. of water until that tub was half full: ~€ubby eved him and eyed the tub “suspiciously. ‘What did it mean? He had a feeling that somehow it concerned him. So finally when Farmer Brown's Boy came out armed with a towel, scrub- with pears. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS bing brush and a wash cloth, Cubby promptly retired inside his little house, He refused to come out. Farmer Brown's Boy had to drag him out. Once he had him out, he lifted him and put him in the tub of water. Then things happened! It is well for Farmer Brown's Boy that he had only a bathing suit on. Water flew in every direction as Cubby struggled to get out. But Farmer Brown's Boy held him fast. Such a scrubbing as Cubby got. He bawled. Yes, he did; he bawled. You know a little Bear can bawl. But it didn’t make any difference. - Farmer Brown's Boy held him fast and used the wash cloth and the scrubbing brush until it was a wonder that Cubby had any fur left on him, YWhen he went into that tub he fooked lfke anything but a little Bear. - When at last he came out of that tub he didn’t look much like his usual self, but he did, in some degree anyway, resemble a little Bear. You would have known what he was. Mother Brown had come out to watch the performance. By the time Farmer Brown's Boy had washed all the paste out of Cubby’s little fur that tub of water looked as if it were a tub of milk. So when finally Farmer Brown's Boy lifted him out, Mother Brown brought the hose, and with this Cubby was rinsed off. Then Farmer Brown's Boy dried him off with a big towel. By this time Cubby hadn’t much fight left in him. He was tired out. Farmer Brown’s Boy dried him off with one towel and then wrapped him up in another one and gently laid him down in the sun. Bowser the Hound came over and lay down' beside him. Bowser’s tail was thumping the ground and there was such a pleased look on Bowser's ries them into unforeseen power. This should be a lucky day for workers, who may expect much activ- ity and good wages, although there may be an odd unemployment trouble in the Winter. The seers declare that optimists have -good reason to foresee a new race of supermen and superwomen developed in America. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of growth in many intel- lectual and spiritual lines. Children born on_that day probably will be interested in organization work. They will see life in its larger relations. KITTY McKAY BY NINA WILCOX PUTNAM. i friend says she’s so honest face. He had found his little chum again. You see, Bowser hadn't recog- nized him when he was all covered with paste. Cubby had been up in a tree, and, of course, at that distance Bowser’s nose couldn’t tell him who it was. So he had falled to recognize Cubby. But now both eyes and nose told him that this was the little Bear who had come to share his house. So Bowser wagged his tail and thumped the ground with it, and Cubby was quite satisfied to cuddle down and take a nap and wonder what all had hap- pened to him. (Copyright. 1927.) OUR CHILDREN A Little Alone. No, I can't go. 1'd like to very much. I've aways wanted to attend one of the child training lectures, but I can’t leave the baby. Of course, if it was a real emergency I'd let his grandmother mind him for the aft- ernoon, but T hate to leave him. So mother did not go to the after- noon lecture. Nor did she go to her Garden Cub meeting when it came around. She dropped her church work, too. “The baby takes up all my time.” By and by the baby began creeping #bout the floor. He began reaching for things. He began to cry at the first sign of being left alone. “He is such a sensitive little fellow. He wants somebody with him all the time. I have to amuse him every minute. I wish he would stay by himself a little while so I could get other things done, but he won't.” He wouldn’t because he- had been trained the other. way. Somebody held him when he thought he would Jike to be held. Somebody sat by his crib until he dropped off to sleep. Somebody played with him or talked to him every waking minute, until an At the end of his second year, he was a burden on the minds of the father | &nd mother. ‘That is bad enough in itself. Fa- thers and mothers ought to be able to go on living happily and freely and fully, even after the children are Porn. There is a certain amount of care a child must have; there is a margin of indulgence, too, that chil- dren can enjoy without harm and with real benefit. But there comes a time when the limit is reached.

When a mother says, “The baby must be amused,” there is usually something wreng in the management of that baby.

Begin by letting him lie in his crib and kick and wave his arms and amuse him- self by exploring the first field he dis- covers, his crib and the power in his legs and arms. When he can kick hard set something against the foot of his bed so he can push harder. ‘When he can clutch a ball give him one that he can squeeze hard. ‘When he gets about the floor give him a tin pan and a few clothes pins, or something equally friendly and talkative, and let him alone. It is 800d to let him sit in the next room where he can hear you, see you once in a while, yet be by himself. Remember not to talk too much or too long to him. You will wear him out with the pressure of your power. Beside him, you are a dyhamo of en- ergy. Keep off him. Let him alone a little, (Cooyright. 1927.)

Prepare a forcemeat with two table- spoonfuls of fresh bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of chopped suet, one dessertspconful of chopped parsley, the grated rind of .one-quarter of a lemon, pepper and salt and egg for binding the ingredients. Cut 1 pound of filet of veal into strips about 3 inches wide and 4 inches long and beat them with a wet, heavy spoon to break the fibers of the meat and make it tender. Trim the edges of the strips of meat slightly, chop the trimmings fine and add them to the forcemeat. Season the strins of veal with pepper and salt and spread a little of the forcemeat dowr: the center of each. Then roll up and tie with coarse thread or cotton. Melt 2 ounces of butter in a saucepan. ‘When hot, fry the rolls a golden brown, strain off the fat and add three-fourths pint of well seasoned brown sauce. Stew the veal olives gently until the meat is quite tender, or for about two hours, skimming as required. With the remainder of the forcemeat make some small savory balls, coat them with egg and bread crumbs and fry or bake in the oven. ‘When the olives are rcady, take them out of the sauce, remove the thread or cotton and arrange neatly on a hot dish. Reduce the sauce, if necessary, skim and add more seasoning if re- quired, then strain over the olives. Garnish with the forcemeat balls and small sprigs of parslcy.

But listen, dear; it wouldn't do. You're not thinking at all or you'd know that.’ Marcla’s words, “You're not think- ing!” repeated themselves over and over in Nan's brain. It was true. She wasn't thinking very far. Not beyond tomorrow or the next day. Since Tom's death she had forced her mind to work like that. But some- where, way in the back of her brain she knew that Marcia was right. She lifted her face at last. There were no tears in her eyes, “I'm thinking now,” she said evenly, “and you're right. I'll go back.” Long after she had left Marcia lay among the pillows, thinking. There was something about this thing that she didn’t quite understand, because she couldn’t imagine not being able to adjust herself if she had been placed in the same situation. But Marcla was harder than Nan, and much less sensitive, and, of course, she had no conception at all of the state of af- fairs between Nan and her husband. Nan took a taxi. Strange that she always had plenty of money to do that now. In the old days—but she musn’t think of the old days. She must force herself to think ahead, and more than a day at a time, too. The entrance to the Park avenue apartment struck her as a little ab- surd as she hurried through it toward the elevator.

There was something about Hilda that Nan vaguely mistrusted, perhaps it was only because she felt intuitive- ly that the girl didn’t like her. At any rate, it was enough to make for an uncomfortable feeling. She felt uncomfortable now. Hilda closed the large outer door, and turned around quickly. “Mr. Lee telephoned.” n whirled about. Yes, Hilda?” “He telephoned twice—once about 4:30 and then again at 5. He left a The Right Cedar Chest. One hope chest which all of us may have is the cedar variety, and it holds forth hope for every one except moths. It is also dustproof and dampproof, and it is the most helpful thing in sight for the preservation, year in and year out, of all your fine clothes. While shoppers buy cedar chests par- ticularly for storage purposes, they are also useful for everyday purposes. The woman with storage problems in a tiny apartment will turn to the cedar chest with a sigh of relief. It may be placed under a window, and camouflaged as a window seat; under a bed or settee; or one may even place it in the hall under a lamp or mirror. ‘When buying a cedar chest insist upon the real article. Trade names which hint at cedar but represent other woods should be avolded when it’s cedar one wants. Real cedar is warranted to give perfect protection against moths, dampnes and dust. The red cedar aroma will kill any moth worms that may be hatched within the chest. oxamine a chest before buying to make certain it is air-tight when closed. If the cedar aroma escapes it makes the chest powerless against moths. When examining the ches: be on the lookout for cracks between boards, and at the corners. One should insist upon examining all sides of the est. ‘Well made cedar chests have dowel- ed construction, thus making them immune to moth attacks. The lid, you know, cannot be tightfiting if the locks, hinges, and casters are not of the very best quality and work- manship obtainable.

This was the second night this week that Mr. Lee had not come home for dinner. “Very well, Hilda. Thank you.” Will you have dinner now, Mrs. “Yes,” Nan returned quietly. “Just as soon as 1 have been to my room.” But once in her room she knew she conldn’t sit up at that dining room table all alone. She had done it once this week. She had allowed Hilda to serve in courses, just as if Martin had been present. It had been ghastly. No, she would have dinner on a tray in her room, close beside Muriel’s crib. Recklessly she srapped on all the electric lights—the two small ones under silk shades on her dresing table, the reading lamp beside her bed, and she was just about to snap on the wall sconces as well when she remembered that she hated them. She hated them as she hated the entrance to the apartment house. They had no personality. A low knock on her door and Nan went t6 answer it. Hilda stood on the threshold. “Dinner is served, Mrs. Lee.” And Nan fancied there was mockery in the girl's voice. She knew the servants gossipped about her, and Hilda had always made it a point to be as nearly insolent as she dared. Nan drew herself up to her full height. Her tired young face was sud- denly very proud. “I've changed my mind, Hilda. I'm not going to the dining room. Bring me something on a tray, will you, and I'll eat it here.” For the fraction of a second Hilda stared. Then without a word she de- parted, Nan had her tray, but she ate scarcely, anything. She drapk two cups of strong coffee, however, which made her hands shake and her breath come fast. ‘Well, here she was, back on Park avenue. Here she was in her correct bedroom, and outside her door there stretched other rooms, all very cor- rect and proper. She hated it; she hated it! She would have preferred the cozy intimacy of Marcia’s box of a place. But any course like that was impossible. She could see that now. She mustn’t think of herself; she must thing of Muriel. She forced herself to undress and get into bed, but she did not sleep. Hour after hour went by, and she just lay there, staring at the celling. Some- Wwhere around 12 she dropped into a heavy slumber, only to be awakened some time later by the sound of Mar- tin’s door opening and closing. She heard him snap on his lights. She heard him move about the room. She buried her head in the pillows so as not to hear, but the sounds seemed to follow her. Tom! Tom! But tonight the faint thrill of re- ngonse that had always been hers in the past was not here to comfort her. That man next door—that cold, re- served stranger—was her husband, not Tom! But was he cold? She remembered the flare of yellow along his lashes; she remembered the hot insistence of his lips on hers. Perhaps if he had not swept her into his arms that night—but she mustn't think. Her brain felt now as if it would burst. (Copyright, 1927.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.) WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS.

The lined chests are sometimes preferred by those who wish to match the wood of other fur- niture with their chest. Be careful to get a chest that is long enough to hold the length of a coat or dress with- out folding. Any chest one buys should be ample enough to serve for general storage purposes. Corn Timbales. To one cupful of grated sweet corn add one cupful of rich milk, one tea- spoonful of minced parsley and red pepper, one teaspoonful of salt, and one-fourth cupful of cracker crumbs, Let stand until the crumbs are soft- ened, then add the yolks of two well beaten eggs and fold in the stiffly whipped whites of the eggs. Pour into buttered timbale molds and cook in a slow oven, the molds standing in a pan of hot water until irm. Invert on a hot dish and garnish with tiny red radishes or stuffed olives. Pour over each timbale one spoonful of egg sauce. To make the sauce, place in a double boiler one-half a cupful of cream.

Authentic furniture designs are al- ways more worth buying than those which are merely enjoying temporary popularity. The two pieces are very old designs, dating back to the nine- teenth century, and they may be found In almost any of the better furniture shops. The chair is a wingback type of fireside chair—extremely comfortable and sufficiently dignified to fit into almost any type of room. The chest of drawers and the dress- ing mirror atop it are American adaptations of Hepplewhite designs. These pieces might form the nu- cleus for the furnishing of a bedroom in the early American manner. With them might be used a tall, four-poster bed with tester top, a chest-on-chest highboy, a Sheraton tambour desk and two or three slim and elegant little Sheraton chairs. (Covyright. 1027.)

Dear Miss Leeds—I have dark brown hair with golden-red glints in it and it looks very soft and pretty just after it is washed, but it very soon becomes oily and brittle. I wash my hair once a week; is that too often? 1 mever curl it with hot irons. Is ‘lemon juice beneficial to the hair? MARJORIE L. Answer—Excessive oiliness of the hair may sometimes be traced to poor physical condition or to nervousness. The first step in improving the ap- pearance of the hair is, therefore, to build up radiant health. See that your weight is normal for your age and height; be sure to get enough sleep at night, take daily outdoor exercise and watch your dict. Once a week is not too often to shampoo very olly hair. Massage the scalp well every day and use a special tonic three times a week. You may also use a dry shampoo In the middle of the week to keep your hair soft. After you have continued these treatments for sev- eral months the excessive oiliness should be under control, so that you may then wash your hair less fre- quently. Hero is a tonic to apply to your scal One-quarter ounce tinc- ture of cinchona, one-quarter ounce tincture of rosemary, one-fourth ounce tincture jaborandi, six ounces bay rum, two ounces cologne water. For the shampoo, you may use the follow- BEAUTY CHAT * Marks on the Skin. Here is a partial list of the reasons for a liver spot: Firstly, it has nothing to do with your liver, but it may be caused by irritation, friction, pressure, bad sun- burn, use of certain chemicals, such as sometimes come in poor cosmetics, and heat rays. ample of this is that very often fire men have these brown splotches om their skins, due, of course, to being exposed to the terrific heat of burning buildings. So do bookkeepers and stenographers who work much in the direct rays of strong electric light. All these things produce one type of “chloasma,” as liver spots are called in medical parlance, Thére is another type of spot, though, caused by tuberculosis, dia- betes, cancet, sarcoma, malarial fever, diseases of the uterus and of the ova- ries. It looks pretty much like the former, less bothersome form, and it is also caused by anemid, These spots also come during pregnaney, dis- appear after the birth, appear again with another pregnancy. Now, then, what can you do about these spots' Of course, find their cause and cure it. Anemia can be cured; most of these other troubles can be checked or cured. It will do no harm to try bleaches—the usual thing for freckles—or whitening the skin. Whatever helps dispel pigment will help cure such spots. Powder burns can be cured by a tedious process of picking out the powder grain, tattooing by retattoo- ing with chemicals that produce in- flammation, which rids the skin of the Of rules that say “dent’ We may need 2 few, But they never help life Like the rules that say “dot POST © 1927, P. Co., Inc. By VILMA BANKY The only RIGHT soap for you is a complexion soap ANY soaps may be good for laundering or household use, but you'd hardly expect them to ex- cel for personal uses as well. Hence those wise in beauty culture warn against touching the face with any but a true complexion soap. For today the important rule in keeping skin clean and pores open with soap and water lies in using a complexion soap. One made pri- marily for facial use. Soaps in- tended for other things are apt to be too harsh for the skin. Thus, largely on expert advice, millions use Palmolive Soap, made of cosmetic-oils, for one purpose only —to protect and beautify the skin, Wash the face, gently with Palmolive. ‘lun its balmy olive An interesting ex- LEEDS. § ing mixture: Two ounces tincture of green soap, two ounces alcohol, one~ half ounce tincture of rosemary. Lemon juice has a bleaching action on the hair when it is used in a rinse after the shampoo; it also neutralizes the sticky soap curd-that forms on the hairs when hard water is used for the shampoo. Undiluted lemon juice is harmful to the hair, but when prop- erly diluted it is not injurious. You might use a mild henna rinse to bring - out the bronze lights in your hair. LOIS LEEDS. Encouraging Eyelashes. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) Do applica- tions of olive oil or vaseline make the eyelashes grow longer and curl up- ward? Which is better to use? (2) How can I get rid of freckles quickly? * 3) Is there any way to make very thick lips thinner. A.J. T. Answer—(1) Yes, these applications tend to make the lashes grow in time. Apply with a small eyebrow brush and brush upward to encourage the hairs to curl upward. If, however, you have inherited short, straight lashes nothing .. you can put on them will make them very long and curling, but the oily applications will improve them to some extent. I prefer white vaseline for the purpose, becauss it does not smart should it get into the eyes by mistake, but the olive oil is also good. (2) There are a number of good freckle bleaches on the market. I have some recipes in my leaflet on “‘Complexion Ills” that T shall be glad to mail you if you will send a stanfped, self-ad- dressed envelope for it. If your skin is badly freckled, however, it will not be possible to remove-all the spots entirely and at once. (3) Thick lips look thicker when they are allowed to pout or hang open loosely, so you should try to cultivate the habit of bringing them together in a firm line; do not press them too tight, of course. Practice before a mirror the expres. - sions that make your mouth look its best and then learn to hold your lips in that way. Outside of these sug- gestions, there is little else you can do for thick lips. Do not rouge them, of course, as that makes them seem larger. Avoid mouth breathing and lip biting. LOIS LEEDS.
