Tasty and Thrifty Dinner Dish BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER ‘The homemaker who wants to have & tasty meat dish at small cost should try baked lamb with macaroni. The lamb may be freshly cooked or be left over from a roast or a stew. If the firsty HEARTY MEAT DISH IS SERVED EN .CASSEROLE. buy flank, for it serves every purpose n;imh;blx and is.one of the cguwt of cuts. -The lamb ‘flank should be small jand ‘then simmered in salted boiling water. Put a sprig or two of and celery and one good- sized o1 in the water, Cut these uj into small pieces. When the Jamb tender remove it from the liquor and slip the bones from the meat. Cut the meat into . pieces about 13 inches SERVES 5:OR’6 PORTIONS. Have butcher cut oxtail in pieces about 4-inch thick. Wash. them well and drain on a ww&. square. Add three tomatoes, skinned, or one cup of canned tomato. . Rub the inside of & baking dish’ with butter and line the bottom with par- boiled macaroni. Dot it with pieces of meat, and a spoonful of the vegetables left in the water in which the Jamb was simmered. Sprinkle with a few shavings of sweet green pepper and salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until the ingredients are used up. Pour over the whole what liquor remains in the lamb pot. This should be simmered down until there is not more than one cupful for a good-sized casserole of meat and macaroni.. Sprinkle bread or cracker crumbs over the top and dot with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the dish and put in a rather quick oven for 20 minutes, if the meat, etc., is used while hot, or for 30 minutes if cold or if left- over l]amb has been used. Then uncover and bake until the crumbs are a deli- cate brown. Serve, and if the seasoning is carefully done, the dish will be enough “to set before the king." Spinach, string beans, peas or some green vegetable makes an excellent choice for an extra vegetable. Celery is delicious with it. Radishes are tasty. Any of them may be used, or two are better still. Mint, currant or grape jelly makes a good relish or cranberry sauce may be substituted. (Copyright, 1929.) WINTERTIME BY D. C.

Most people, I find, do not know the fox sparrow at all, although there ought to be no trouble about seeing him;e he is almost 7 inches long and is & rusty or foxy red above, the brightest part of this coloration falling on the wings and rump. Unlike many of the sparrows the head and tail are without white or gray streaks, but there are two'white bars on the wings. The plump white breast is spotted with red. So far 2s I know this bird does not nest with us; if you see him it will be on the move, in all probability.

Everyday Law Cases Does Bankruptcy Discharge Ar- rearage in Alimony? BY THE COUNSELLOR. John Howard was ordered by decree of court to pay $50 weekly alimony to his divorced wife. After paying regularly for a while Howard fell in arrears. Mrs. Howard allowed the arrears to accumulate as long as her husband continued to make partial payments. Being $1,000 in ar- therwise in financial tion in ba Upon obtaining ruptcy, Howard entered into a business undertaking and prospered. His divorced wife thereupon made demand upon him for the balance due her on back ali- mony. Howard refused to pay, asserting that this debt, as well as others, had been wiped out by his bankruptcy pro- ‘When Mrs. Howard filed suit against him for the alimony arrears, Howard larned he would have to pay, notwit standing the bankruptcy adjudication, the court's ruling being: “The act expressly pro- vides that the discharge. shall not re- lease a debt for alimony due or to be- come due, or for maintenance or support of wife or child.” New Beauty Secret quickly changes dull, off-color complexions to bright, true-color—any face looks . lovely—years younger at once othing looks more than a dull, sallow, off-color skin.

Five Minutes Works Wonders! Dull, lifeless, off-color skin becomes bright, ‘bealthy, true-color — radiantly clear — five years younger in five minutes! Enlarged "pores are refined to the smoothest. finest texture; oily skin is corrected; blackheads are dissolved; persistent skin eruptions are banished and the tell-tale signs of as if by magic; r skins become as if complexion faults were wiped a sponge. You will really marvel at the lovely face you see in your mirror It's no fairy wand that gives & new skin so quickly. It's simply due to the amazing, rejuvenating properties of creamed milk of mag- nesia; which rehabilitates the skin in the same easy way that plain milk of magnesia purifies the stom- ach. This is because skin impurities are acid, Dactors treat acid inside the body with milk of magnesia. And, now, dermatologists are get- ting amazing results in banishin, complexion faults with cream magnesia. All you do is anoint your skin with it, massage and rinse with water. It's as simple as ‘washing your face! Accidental Discovery Until recently, creamed magnesia was the secret formula of a very successful New York skin special- ist. He prescribed it as a sure, quick remedy to hexi unsightly skin eruptions, But women soon discovered it also refines enlar, pores, changes sallow, off- color skin to true-color clearness and makes DENTON'’S vanish utiful y with Bright, clearski always looks young tonight. the face look years younger.. They also found it cleanses perfectly. It removes make-up and extracts im- purities deep-set in the pores better than any soap or cleansing creaps. Scientific tests proved these women had made a wonderful discovery. So, thanks to this accidental discovery, science now offers you a priceless skin beautifier, better for your complexion than anything ever before discovered. It takes the place of soap, cleansing cream, massage cream, astringent, skin tonic and face bleach. It gives the skin a radiant clearness and fades out freckles better than a bushel of lemons. Yet, it is 8o mild that doc- tors tell mothers to use it instead of soap to bathe infants. It certainly is a biessing to fine, sensitive skins that soap so easily irritates and coarsens. Be- ing greaseless, it cannot fatten the face or grow hair.

She chose round thread linen of me- dium weight. Two pieces six inches square were used to form a casing into which was slipped a heavy Canton flan- ned pad. The protector was edged with Binche lace, and the top was ornament- ed with Italian hemstitching. | Naney did the hemstitching herself. She divided the six-inch top into two- inch squares drawing the threads co that there were two narrow rows of drawn threads with a bar of four un- drawn threads between in each group. She used number 40 linen thread for hemstitching. , The first or outer row in each set of parallel rows was hem- stitched in regular fashion taking up I|three threads of material on needle each time. This work was done on wrong side of material. The two drawn rows were connected over the undrawa bar by working on right side. The blunt needle was inserted in space at left, passed to right across un- drawn bar of four threads, inserted in drawn space and brought up with three threads on needle, then it was inserted under the bar and brought up in left space of three threads in left drawn bar. It is inserted in left bar on other side of these threads and process is repeated. Perhaps you would like to use one of these next time you serve luncheon.

EAR MISS DIX: Iem a woman of 25 and have been married to & man I adore for almost a year. Several months ago he told me he no longer loved me and said he wanted me to give him a divorce, but because I love him and because of my craving for a pretty home, such as we have, nd my fondness for housekeeping, I have let matters drift along. My husband has never mentioned the divorce problem further. He seems contented and is good te me, and we go out and have a lot of fun together occasionally. There is no other woman that I know of. What shall I do? Am I entitled to alimony if I get a divorce? high-salaried position to marry my husband. I am not a gold-digger, but I gave up a I also had a fair-sized bank account, which I spent on fixing up our home, and now I have no money of my own. wanted or loved, so I am getting out soon. Answer: indicated by the symptoms.

UNHAPPY, It seems to me that in your particular case absence is the remedy if he had fallen in love with some other ned. im a some excuse for wearying of matrimony occurred. that he has assumed the obligations of matrimony, and over losing his freedom, and he feels that he just must break his bonds and be free once more. So my suggestion to you is to propose to him that you go away for a year, and that will give him time to think it over and 8ee if he really has fallen out of love with you, and if he does want a divorce. The chances are that long before the time is up he will miss you and miss his home, and want you to come back to him. As far as the alimony is concerned, I think that the fair thing will be far your husband to return to you the money you spent on the house, and to give you an adequate support until you can get back to work again. If he is a man of means he should be chivalrous enough to do this gladly, and to add to it a generous gift, because he should like to feel .that he is making you some compensation for the disappointment and hurt to your pride and heart that his fickle and unstable nature has caused you. However, I feel that a young, healthy, intelligent woman, who has proved herself self-supporting, should be good enough sport to take the hazards of marriage just as a man does, and if she loses out just to charge it up to lady luck and let it go at that. I feel that there is something very degrading to a woman in forcing & man who has tired of her to keep on paying money for her support when she knows that he begrudges her every cent that she wrings out of him. I think there is nothing more unjust to men or more humiliating to women than our alimony laws, and we should have enough intelligence to change them. The only woman, in my opinion, w] ho is entitled to alimony is the wife who has lived with a man for many years and who has worked and saved and scrimped to help him build up his fortune. wants to divorce her, she is entitled to it is hers by right. She has helped earn it. Then, if -he ‘wearles of her and half of whatever money he has because If, by reason of having a houseful of children to support, they have been able to accumulate no propert; still entitled to a part of his earnings because she has given to ‘l”\lmpehe)l". a!el;:lé: during the years in which she might supporting. have learned a trade and become self- Before any woman can collect alimony, however, she should have to prove by disinterested witnesses that she has been a good wife and has done her part toward making her husband a happy and comfortable home, The poor house- keeper, the nagger, the jealous fury, the woman who rushes to Reno and gets a divorce because she has decided her husband isn't her affinity, the wompan who doesn't even try to make a go of marriage, has no rlght on earth to expect her ex-husband to go on supporting her the balance of er life. Now that women stand on the same platform with men in_polities and business they should also be equals with them in matrimony and take just the same risks as men take, sentimentally and financially. 2 z Believe me, if there was no alimony there wouldn't be nearly so many divorces.

But that “But will is quite a different thing from securing moral conduct on the part of the learner. ‘The world accepted the statement as a truism and bullt up its moral pro- gram accordingly. - In recent years psychologists have put this declaration to the test and found it wanting.

They know more about the theory of morals, but are not more moral than the average In their daily living. Knowledge is not enough. If know- ing the right were sufficient to keep us in the straight and narrow path we should all be saints.
