WOMAN'’S PAGE Various Good Uses for Coffee BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The use of coffee as a beverage dates back many centuries in the Far East. It was of such importance in ‘Europe and England in the seventeenth cen- tury that coffee houses were popular, ‘These were first started in Constanti- nople and Venice and in 1652 one was opened in Cornhill, Londcn. This was CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST OF COFFEE AND TOAST OR ROLLS GAINING FAVOR IN AMERICA. 82 yeirs after the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, on the shores of Cape Cod. As the beverage was known in Europe and England when the Massachusetts Bay Colony was formed, many of the voyagers to this continent must have delighted in its flavor in the old coun- . It gradually found its way here and today is an everyday beverage in tically all homes. Nor is this all, coffee is now used in a great many ys besides a drink. ‘The coffee bean is a seed contained n a berry grown on coffee plants of & fiumber of varieties. The kind of lant and where it is grown influences flavor. To this day Mocha coffee is by reputation unsurpassed. Many persons, however, choose Mocha, and Java combined, or .other kinds.

Potatoes should never be kept in the ht, as this may cause them to sprout. should be kept in &°cool place, but d not be allowed to freeze. They are ruined by freezing. Onions, if kept where it is at all warm, are likely to sprout. They may safely be kept in a much colder place than potatoes, as slight freezing, if they are not handled while frozen, does not harm them. Caulifiower should be cooked in an uncovered kettle—that for the sake of the household, for it smells less if un- «covered while cooking. It should not be cooked beyond the point of tenderness, for over-cooking makes it turn brown and gives it a too strong taste. It is an interesting thing that the onion is the only one of the bulb vege- tables which is commonly used as food in this country. In Europe leek, garlic, shallot and chives are all much more widely used than here—and all are bulb wegetables. Spinach needs very thorough washing. The best way to cook it is to lift it, wet, from its last rinse water and put it on the fire without additional water. Cook slowly over a low heat until it has given up much of its moisture, Then simmer until tender. Remember that one peck of raw spinach yields about three cupfuls of cooked spinach. i Broiled Shad Roe. Wipe the shad roe with a damp cloth, then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Place on a wire broiler and broil for five minutes on each side. Serve with lemon glices and the following sauce: Cream s little butter until soft, then work in the juice of half a lemon, two sprigs of parsley chopped fine and a seasoning of salt and pepper. the taste. The manner of roasting the bean in France, for instance, ruins the beverage for Amercians, who like the beans roasted, rather than scorched. If one is inclined to be seasick, cof- fee may prove beneficial. In some cases it is efficacious, but it does not ‘ always prevent nausea. It is well to try taking a small cupful of very strong | coffee_an_ hour before sailing_if one is inclined to be seasick. Often, if a | person can tide over the first few hours | of a voyage, the tendency to seasick- | ness is averted. By that time the sys- | tem may get accustomed to the rolling | and tossing of the ship. When that | pericd comes, the rest of the trip can be _enjoyed without discomfort. The slightly exilarating effect of coffee is appreciated especially in the morning. After drinking one, or per- | haps two, cups at breakfast it seems | much easter to tackle the day’s work. It should be remembered that coffee, like tea, is a beverage for adults. Milk | should be served children. These | drinks should be in addition to water | and not taken as substitutes. The sys- tem requires plenty of water. The a] petite enjoys the other beverages in addition, not in place of pure, sparkling water. (Copyright. 1930 THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE.

How can I arrange my bobbed, dark- brown hair to make my face and neck seem fuller? (2) I have just had a permanent wave, Tell me how to take care of my hair and scalp so that the hair will remain in the healthy condi- tion that it is at the present time. (3) I am 23 years old, 5 feet 3!z inches tall and weigh 110 pounds. Am I un- derweight?—MISS F. J. J. Answer.—Divide your front hair into an upper and lower layer, after parting the hair in the middle. Have the upper layer rather short, so the ends can curl up at the temples. Have a thin fringe of hair on the forehead and arrange the waves of the longer side of hair and curl the ends under and push them bhehind the ears. Have a dip of hair over the top of the ears. If you are letting your hair grow, turn the ends of the back hair up in a roll and pin firmly or fasten with a long barrette. Pin in_ the back hair and curl the ends of hatr into small curls and arrange them to look like a double roll at the nape of the neck. This type of coiffure will make your face and neck look fuller and rounder. (2) If you will read my beauty talk on “Care of Per- manent Waves,” appearing in my beauty column this week, I think that you will find several valuable suggestions. Your hairdresser should have given instruc- tions on the care of your hair after the wave also. Remember that the hair and scalp need just as much care after the wave as before to keep them healthy. Massage your scalp and brush your hair regularly every day. I shall be pleased to mail you my leaflet on care of the hair, which will help you. Write for it, but please remember to | inclose a self-addressed, stamped en- HAVE YOU EVER CAREFULLY EXAMINED YOUR GUMS? velope when requesting leaflets, so that they may reach you safely.

Care of Normal Skin. Dear Miss Leeds—I am bringing my problems to you because I read your wonderful advice to others and I feel sure_that you will help me with mine. (1) T have a fair complexion and black hair. Will you kindly tell me what shade of rouge and face power to use? (2) Will you tell me frankly if a tissue cream makes a normal skin ofly? (3) Is a tonic astringent necessary to a normal skin, or should I use & skin tonic_after Temoving the tissue cream? (4) What is & good cream for removing freckles?—MISS JOAN. Answer.—You may use & touch of raspberry or geranium rouge with light natural or flesh rachel face powder. (2) Tissue cream lubricates the skin, and the massage movements with which it is applied tone up the tissues and faclal muscles, keep the skin soft and smoothe out creases or wrinkles. It will not make the skin oily. After removing the tissue cream, saturate a plece of clean absorbent cotton in a mild astringent such as witch hazel, and gently pat the skin all over, after having removed the excess cream with a tissue square of a soft cloth or a pad of absorbent cot- ton. (3) A skin tonic or freshener is good for the normal skin, as it tones up the skin and prepares it for the foundation cream and face powder. (4) There are several creams and lotions available on the market for bleaching freckles. I do not consider freckles in every case a disfigurement. They are charming on some skins, and many girls and women have them. When the frec- kles are slight, they give an outdoorish, healthy look to the complexion. They cannot be removed entirely from some types of skins, but they may be light- ened considerably by the use of a mild bleaching lotion or lemon cream. But- termilk an old, reliable remedy for them also.—LOIS LEEDS, (Copyright, 19 in the world has been in ‘The oldest national fis is that of Denmark, whis use since 1219.

Some have been paid off here, and others have been formed into detach- ments and are being sent to other dis- tricts to receive the money that is due to them. It will be some days, however, before the city resumes its normal appearance, as nearly all of the Army of the Poto- mac, under Gen. Meade, and Gen. Sherman’s two armies—the Army of Tennessee and the Army of Georgia— were here at the same time, a short while ago, for the grand review, which marked the end of the war between the States. Meanwhile the trial of the conspira- tors for the assassination of the late President Lincoln and for the attempts on the' lives of Secretary of State Seward and other Government officials are progressing rapidly. The military prosecutor brought out evidence today to show that J. Wilkes Booth had| stopped at Mrs. Surratt’s hotel, or boarding house, and had received mail there. Testimony was also brought out to show that the door leading to the box in Ford's Theater occupied by the late President Lincoln had been forced open from the outside by some tool. A Mr. Smith éf Prince Georges Coun- ty, who lives about a mile from Sur- rattsville, swore that he knew J. Z. Jenkins, a brother of Mrs. Surratt, one of the defendants, and that at the be- ginning of the war he was & Union man, although he changed later and became sympathetic toward the Con- federates. Another witness testified that Mr. Surratt, according to remarks which the witness had heard another man make, was “the man who cut Secretary Seward” on the night that the late President Lincoln was assassinated. The witness “reckoned Mr. Surratt was now in New York.” When the witness asked a friend why Mr. Surratt had gone to'New York aft- er the assassination of President Lin- coln, the friend is alleged to have re- plied, “John Surratt knows all about this. Do you suppose he is going to stay in Washington and let them catch him? I have told you this thing was going" to happen six months ago.” Severe cross-examination failed to shake this testimony of the witness. ‘The Government is trying to move the Union troops out of Washington as fast as possible, pay them off, and, where they are not needed, muster them out of the service, so that they can go back home without any more loss of time and resume their civilian occupations. It will be some time, how- ever, before all of the wartime soldiers leave this city. Many will be needed in winding up the affairs incident to the ‘war, and troops must be kept ready to send into any Southern State where trouble may break out again, according to_the military authorities. No fear is felt, however, of another general outbreak, since the Confederate armies are too widely scattered and supplies in the South are too scarce. I heard OI' Man Jones say he'd put licker behind him, and from the bump o‘nhhls hip I guess he must have, all right. FEATURES. Last Hours of Great Fighters John Paul Jones All Alone When Death Claimed Him. BY J. P. GLASS, “I WANT DALE—MY GOOD OLD DICK—TO HAVE MY SWORD,” HE SAID. After Lord Nelson had defeated the combined French and Spanish fleets at Cape Trafalgar in 1808, Napoleon sighed because he had had no adequate naval commander to match wits with the great Englishman. His thoughts turned back to another genius of the sea who, at the time of his death, was eagerly seeking a position in the French navy. “How old,” he asked, “was John Paul Jones when he died?” “He was 45, sire.” “Then,” said Napoleon, “he did not fulfill his destiny. Had he lived to this time France might have had an ad- miral.” - The death of Jones was in many respects pathetic. He had fought for the United States, for Russia and for France, but he was not American, or Russian, or French. Though he was a true pafriot of liberty, he wds really a man without a country. He had been | brave, chivalrous and true, but he had neither wife nor child to care for him. Disease seized him in middle age, B the beginning of the Summer of 1 he was so weak that he spent much of the time in a sailor's hammock hung up in the back yard of his home, in the Rue de Tournon, in Paris. He was suf- fering from Bright's disease, he had been severely attacked by jaundice and a racking cough shook his frame. For hours he lay gloomily, rocked gently by Almee de Tellison, his dear friend. Who knows what polgnant thoughts were hidden behind the drawn, yellow mask of his face? On July 11, with a great effort, for his legs were now swelling, he attend- ed a session of the Natlonal Assembly. ‘That night, at a Jacobin dinner in the Cafe Timon, he was toasted as “the coming admiral of France.” False expectations! By July 18 his legs were swollen to his waistcoat. His eyes were glazed, his breath was short. Visitors, finding him thus, sent for the American Minister, Gouverneur Morris. Sitting in an armchair, Jones dictated his will, ‘When the document was complete he remembered that he had made no dis- position of the sword that had been given to him by Louis XVI. He turned to Morris and mentioned that tried and true lieutenant who had been ever at his side during his service in the Navy ODf Ithe United States—Lieut. Richard ale, “I want Dale—my good old Dick—to have my sword,” he said. ‘The visitors went away. John Paul Jones sat alone in his armchair. Night fell, stilling the noises of Paris, and still he sat. S all was over! The world was restless with great events. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were under arrest and the Revolution was gathering fresh momentum. But he would play no part in all these developments. He picked up a book by Voltaire, but he could not read. Suddenly he arose My Neighbor Says: A drop of shellac applied to each_hole and left to’ dry will mend agate and tinware.

He threw himself facs downward on his bed with his feet touching the floor. It was in this position that his dead body was found.

And Kotex gives you—too—the relief that comes with safe protec- tion. It is filled, you know, with Cellucotton (not cotton) absorbent wadding. This is a cellulose sub- stance which, for sanitary purposes, fulfills the same function as cotton with 5 times the absorbency. Used in leading bospitals In world-famous hospitals, where health protection is doubly vital, this same absorbent is now used t 83% of Ameriaa's leading hospitals now use Kotex filler, so its superiority and safety are unquestioned for your use. Kotex is never bulky and un- comfortable, because it is fash- ioned in a way that eliminates bulk and makes the pad incon- spicuous under the closest fittin, rocks. It is not only soft to feel, but soft to wear. And that soft- ness lasts— it doesn’t pack into chafing hardness. Once you use it, you'll find ic indispensable.
