WOMAN’S PAGE " Desserts to Sui BY LYDIA LE A home dinner, however simple, has a8 satisfying completeness when the main course is followed by a dessert. If there are children in the family, plain desserts are apt to be the order of the meals most of the time. These should be interspersed with richer and perhaps a bit more elaborate desserts to please the man of the house whenever he DESSERTS THAT ARE SERVED TO CHILDREN SHOULD BE SIMPLE. seems to find the simple ones monot- onous. Some men distinctly dislike milk puddings, which are among the chief ones that prove both pleasing and wholesome for little folk. When this is the case a home-maker can serve two types of desserts. At the times when she makes the richer desserts, such as pies, plum pud- ding, tarts, etc., the home-maker can supply the children with dishes that MOVIES AND HOLLYWOOD, Calif, January 20.— Gilbert and Garbo may be separated as & movie team, Donald Colman has sup- planted Vilma Banky with Lili Damita, but Norma Talmadge will make her next picture with Gilbert Roland. So some of the old romance of movies will remain. Teams have been a fertile source of revenue for producers. The public, se- cretly quite hopelessly romantic, loves to watch the same handsome youth fall repeatedly for the identical beautiful siren. When this occurs in more than one picture they weave in some myste- rious fashion a romance about the two. And then disillusion them if you can. You could write from now until dfomsday that Ronnie Colman and Vilma Banky got along together about as peaceably as the Kilkenny cats. ‘Thousands of pe?Ie the country over who have seen them gaze longingly into each other’s eyes know to the con- trary. As s matter of fact, that charming team broke up because of tempera- due to this antipathy. At least, that was one of the reasons, and not the smallest one.- Producers are influenced often by the feeling that either star is important enough to draw the public alone. So why not capitalize on each? This happened with Gilbert and Garbo. Vilma Banky has been known to consume large platters of onions and other Hungarian savories when she had 8 love scene with Colman to enact. Colman, quite aware of her attitude, fortified himself on such occasions with a good bracer. The director took refuge in cuss words and hair-tearing. But the result was a perfect pair of stage lovers. Now, Norma Talmadge and Gilbert Roland get on famously together in real life. They are frequently seen at din- ner parties or in dancing groups, and there is no lack of animation or dearth of conversation.

The important matter is to make the dish | have the look of a dessert while it is very simple and wholesome. On the days when the milk puddings | are served or such plain desserts as suit the little folk, but not the man of the | house, an equal amount of thoughtful- ness should be paid to his likes and dislikes. |~ Some special dessert may be given | him that may bs homemade or come | | from some good food shop.

Th= double quantity is mentioned in | case the wife also has her preferences | for the richer desserts. It is a mistake | for tha woman not to consider her own | appetite as well as that of the other | members of the family. She is apt to | be so engrossed in getting what is wholesome and tempting to others that she forgets herself. Every one should be | satisfled, and can be, by giving proper attention to individual needs. (Copyright, 1929.) Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

Norma built up tremendous popular- ity when she starred with Eugene O'Brien as her leading man. This also was a congenial arrangement. Most of the really great co-stars of moviedom have liked each other at least passably well, Fay Wray and Gary Cooper are being | starred rather hectically. They seem | paradoxical, and the result is not thrill- ing. Fay Wray recently married John Monk Saunders, the writer. Gary Cooper gives all his spare time and at- tention to Lupe Velez, the volcanic Mexican beauty. Producers can suggest combinations of this sort, but in the long run it is the public which determines their suc- cess. Carol Lombard, Jeannette Loff, Dor- othy Ward, Violet Adams and some other young stars have formed a lunch- eon club to exchange ideas on non- fattening food. Each is supposed to be a model of rounded slenderness. I might add in passing that model rounded slenderness is never achieved by the Wieting process. That is donated by the hand of Fate. One achieves slimness, thinness or les- sening of_ avoirdupois by the banting method. But banting never turned out a Venus. Some things are given lovely women in the cradle, and good lines are one charm drawn at birth. Ludwig Berger will return from Ger- many to direct Emil Jannings in one of his final Hollywood films—a story made by Peitreicmuln years ago, “The Con- cert.” It is amusing to note how talkies | have sent producers scuttling for old stage plays. Evidently it is easier to plagarize situations than lines, for scenario writers have turned them out with the facility of a cannery. But vfien they call for lines it's a different story.

It was the day after the dinner party and Nancy was trying to plan a dinner which would use up left-overs and still have a new and inviting look. She had some tomato juice left over from cock- tails, some uneven pleces of roast beef, some of the mashed potatoes, a little of the custard left from the dessert and some pieces of sponge cake left from the day before the party. ‘This is her menu for the evening din- ner: Clear Tomato Soup. Roast Beef Hash Baked Onions Green Tomato Pickles Toasted Rolls English Trifle Celery Stuffed with Cheese The left-over tomato juice was slight- ly thickened with a roux of butter and flour and served very hot. The meat was put through the chopper. At the same time green pepper and a little onjon and potatoes were put through. To this were added an egg and a little milk. It was worked smooth and bak- ed in a casserole with a strip or two of bacon across the top. The celery stalks had a fllling of cream cheese worked to a paste with Roquefort' and & bit of melted butter. It was made hot with red pepper and slightly pink with paprika. The English trifle was made by put- ting slices of sponge cake in a glass serving dish. Over these were put a layer of jam, then cake. Then the cus- tard was poured over all and the dish weighted with plate on top and set away for seven or eight hours in a cool place.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have read many times what you have written about men preferring old-fashioned girls, but I have never seen one. They are scarce as hen's teeth. I used to becan old-fashioned girl and never had a date. Now I have dates to burn. Answer: I am going to let a man answer your letter, Helen, for in the same mail came a letter from a man who s 8 “Dear Miss Dix: This letter is written by a man who is a sophisticated philanderer, who likes his women and his liquor, and, until lately, could not have been forced to the altar with a shotgun. He has sad but conclusive proof that the majority of the girls of today are plain dumbbells. “Deep within themselves men of my type wonder more about this than they do about the girls who are naturally wild, and they respect the modern dumbbell less than they do the wild woman, even though they seek her out and persuade her to go whoopee. Furthermore, a girl is a sap to think that whoopee is going to lead her into undying popularity and eventually to wedded bliss. “The men who preach the double standard ar the very ones who do not care to marry a petter. While the good girl may have an unfilled date card and suffer somewhat from the lack of masculine attentions, she has a chance of making a far better marriage than has the fiappy flapper. “While a lot of men, both married and single, are more or less worthless, the majority have a good side which is responsive to the right appeal. I speak from experience, because after having had my fling with the petters and the | neckers it has been my undeserved good fortune to find the good old-fashioned | girl who is going to take pity on one who has been a poor fool and marry him. Her goodness has prompted me to write this letter, and voice a warning to the girls who are laboring under the illusion that whoopée is harmless and that they can get away with it the same as we privileged men. They can't. The sooner they make up their minds to the fact that it doesn’t pay a girl to lower her ideals for the sake of a date, the better for them.” So there you are, Helen. That is the point of view of & man who knows the ropes on tk};e ship of pleasure. 'Co:\xlc_ler.lc well, DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I am engaged to be married to a girl who is an only child, whose parents are unwilling to give her up and insist that after our marriage we must live with them. I have felt so strongly that this would jeopardize our chance for happiness that it has delayed our marriage. I have represented to my flancee that it would indefinitely delay the start in life which we should make on our own account; that it would deprive me of | ¢ the privilege, which every man must cherish, of being master in his own home, and that it would require me to sacrifice my right of independent thought and action, and subject me to direct or indirect domination of my parents-in-law. This T am not willing to do. And my fiancee is not willing to leave her parents. So the situation is deadlocked. I am amply able to provide my wife with a good home and every comfort and luxury. I will be grateful for your frank views on the subject. RAYMOND. Answer: You are exactly right in wanting to set up your own home when you are married, where you and your wife can get acquainted and fight out your own battles and adjust yourselves to each other without any outside interference. Every young man and woman who go by themselves when they get married have a hundred times the chance of happiness and of making a go of marriage that those who continue to live with their parents have. This is true not only because parents cannot keep from sticking their fingers in their children's pies and taking sides in every spat, but because the young persons who live alone are dependent on each other for society and so grow closer together, and, having no eaves-droppers, they can talk out their secret thoughts to each other and shower each other with little endearments that they would be ashamed to indulge in before mamma or papa. You are quite right in thinking that if you go to live with your wife's people you will have no authority over her and no influence with her. She will naturally turn to her mother and father for advice and counsel, as she has always been in the habit of doing, and she will be gulded by their opinion, not by yours. You will have to listen to “mother thinks this" and “father thinks we had better do that” and that doesn’t set well on any he-man’'s stomach. Furthermore, no matter how much board you pay, you will always be in the 1““;“1; of living on your wife's folks, and that won't add any to your prestige n business. Inevitably, when you live under another man's roof, you lose your individual freedom. You are bound to conform to his ways and customs. He is the master, you are the guest. When you live with your in-laws they will feel that you should obey them just as implicitly as their own child does. Your future parents- in-law have already shown how selfish and dominating they are by not being willing for their daughter to follow the custom that all human experience has proved to be the wise one, that of going away with her husband, when she gets married, to her own home. If the girl loves her parents better than she does you, and prefers sta; with them to going alone with you, leave her where ah’: is. Yorllx will flndy 25 happiness with a woman who is more a mamma’s girl than she is a wife. 8 DOROTHY DIX. s EAR'MISS DIX: I heartily agree with you that a man who works all day at his job should not be expected to come home at night and do the housework, but don’t you think that the same thing is true of a working girl? My two sisters and I toil to the limit of our strength every day, but when we return home we are expected to do the bulk of the housework at night and give everything a good cleaning up on Sunday. Our mother is young and strong and healthy, but she does not feel called upon to do anything more than barely cook the food we provide. She never makes a bed, or dusts a chair, or washes out a “handkerchief, or sews on & button, for her idea is that standing eight hours behind a counter in a department store or pounding a typewriter is just a mere diversion. What do you think should be expected of & working girl in domestic duties? Answer: Not a thing. If your mother had sons instead of daughters she wouldn't expect them to help with the housework and do their own laundry. No, indeed. She would rush around trying to make things comfortable for the poor dears who had to work so hard. She would go around telling all the neighbors how good they were to provide her with a nice home and support the family. But it is different with girls. When girls go out and do a man's work in the world most mothers expect them to do a woman’s work at home, also. And the girls are foolish to do it. the way of BARRIE. Of course, if your mother were an invalid, then it would be your duty to help with the housework, but as long as she is able-bodied she should treat you like a star boarder that she was afraid of losing, and do everything she can to make you comfortable.

I was just tryin' to see if I could hyp- notize Skinny.” (Copyright, 1929 Everyday Psychology BY DR. :fl!l W. SPROWLS. Talkativeness. What I take to be a widely circulated religlous tract was recently handed me. “Talkativeness” was the theme. It started off as follows: “Talkativeness is utterly ruinous to deep spirituality.” It ended with a scriptural citation to the effect that “in quietness and in confi- dence shall be your strength.” This set me thinking. I recalled the name of Heraclitus, who flourished in Greece around 500 B. C. According to that great philosopher *nothing is per- manent but change.” Eternal change, continuous motion, was a sort of deity or him. Some of his followers were simple- minded and took his teachings literally and dogmatically. They went sp far as to quit talking alotogether. They con- | tended that the very words used in con- versation would change from what they | were to something else by the time they | reached the ears of the listener. So they resorted to a sign language, hoping that the sense of sight might operate more quickly than the “eternal flux"” that characterized the world of reality as they conceived it. The religious tract referred to is an outgrowth of experience. There is some- thing valuable in it for every one. The Heraclitian philosophy is ~interesting only as a matter of history. From Heraclitus of ancient Greece to Dr. Watson, the reputed founder of that modern school of psychology called ““Be- haviorism,” much talking and philoso- phizing about talking has taken place. One essentlal assumption remains— talking is in some way connected with motion. According to Watson, thinking is a matter of muscular movement. We think, {i. e, we think-move, with our whole body, but chiefly with our vocal chords. Spoken words merely tell us that some sort of thought-movement is taking place. Assuming the Watsonian theory to be correct, talkative persons are those who do a lot moving around in order.to make their adjustments to their sur- roundings. And the non-talkative have discovered how to save time and energy, to say nothing of the “confidence” built up in those who listen to them. (Copyright, 1929.) WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSF) 3 Registered U. 8. Patent Ofce. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Dandruff and Other Questions. | Dear Miss Leeds: (1) How can I get rid of dandruff? (2) Would a henna| rinse hurt my hair, and does it wash | out in time? (3) T am 18 years old, | 5 feet 2 inches tall. What should my | weight and measurements be? CONSUELO. \ Answer—(1) A moderate amount of dandruff is natural. It is the scaling off of the dead skin as it is replaced | by new skin from below. Scalp mas- sxfa, brushing and regular shampoos | will keep the dandruff from accumu- lating. When the amount of dandruff | is excessive and very dry, hot oil treat- | ments should be given once a week.” A little mineral oil or vaseline may also bes rubbed into the scalp every day. | In the case of oily dandruff, a hair | tonic or antiseptic lotion containing al- cohol may be used several times a week. The scales should be loosened and brushed out with a fine comb be- enough to bleach their dark hair with peroxide, but I do not recommend this, or any other bleach. It will make your hair streaky and dead in appear- ance. Your hair will continue to grow in dark at the roots and it will not harmonize with your skin tints if you bleach it.
