Tecognized rank e.:nmm she could not do all the tend- kind friends and nelghbors would come in and help her with the nursing. In this generation such con- ditions are extraordinary. A profes- sional nurse is called in to take charge of the case. The care of the sick has entered into the ranks of & profession, In this generation housekeeping is ally being accorded rank among e professions. It is one of so many branches that it deserves recognition. For example, & housekeeper has to know how to keep roams in order, training the children to become orderly as part of the job. She has to know how to buy wisely, so that money is not spent lavishly, for instance, in storing the larder with perishable foods, or too serimpingly, so that an essential, such as bread, sugar, etc, is lacking at a time when it is impossible to get more conveniently. ‘The buying and care of clothing and household textiles is another branch of which an expert housekeeper is u:g; posed to have knowledge. fact, competent care of & house requires skill and 8 knowledge of various techniques. All these things can be learned. Much of the work is very agreeable, some of it is dificult, but none of it is beyond the scope of the average housekeeper who hopes to become competent. When this knowledge has been acquired, and competency gained, the woman is & trained housewife or housekeeper, although generally her training been that of experience plus study. lp this 1t again is reminiscent of & nurse'’s training, which is in part theory and in part practice. The housewife may not have a diploma, but she is pro- fessional. In the realm of homemaking the ele- ments are partly psychological, It is such & diversified knowledge that is required, for coupled with the skill of & housekeeper there must be that of the understanding of personalities, so that a family dwells together in unity. Social graces are expected and com- rehension of the beauties of home life. g‘fl be & successful homemaker is & pro- fession plus an art. It is something a woman deserves high rank for ac- 08 (Gopyrisht. 1930) FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Spinach Variety.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. October 15, 1834.—After his en- thusiastic reception in the City of ‘Washington—named after the man by whose side he fought in the Revolu- tionary War and whom he regarded as & father—Gen. Lafayette went today to the City of Georgetown to spend three days in resting and visiting that Pplace. Georgetown and Alexandria are the only two important towns that were in existence in what is now the District of Columbia at the time Gen. Lafayette fought along with Gen. Washington for the independence of the United States of America. Both were then thriving rts. Georgetown, being farther up e Potomac River and practically at the head of tidewater, had hopes of becoming a commercial center and a port serving all of Northern and West- ern Maryland and Virginia, even sur- passing Baltimore. Gen. Lafayette was given a brilliant reception in Georgetown. His hotel was literally beseiged by persons who de- sired merely to shake his hand. Gen. Lafayette was very genial about it all. He seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion, although the degree of enthusiasm—displayed ~ wherever he showed himself—seemed to surprise him. He expects to remain in Georgetown for three days and then to proceed southward, first into Virginia and then making a tour of the new country, per- haps as far South as_the Gulf of Mexico and as far West as the Mississipp! River, returning eastward rlobahly by steamboat on the Ohio ver. Prom everywhere the news comes that preparations are being made to entertain the veteran general, who left his own country to aid in winning the Revolutionary War, as no hero has ever before been entertained in this country, unless it be Washington himself, long since dead, and so close a friend for many years of the aging Lafayette. After he has visited other parts of the Republic, Gen, Lafayette expects to return to Washington, reaching here Embnbly in August of next year, where e will very likely be the guest of the President for several weeks and then say his last farewell o America. The plan is to take him down the Potomac River on a -steamer and transfer him and his party to an Amer- ican frigate—possibly the new frigate Brandywine—which will bear him east- ward over the Atlantic to his beloved France. Lafayette's sixty-eighth birthday will oocur September 6 of next year. He will probably still be in this country and the oceasion will be one to pay him special honor and respect.

Keep your profile young, no matter what else about your appearance you must neglect. For neither your char- acter nor your charm can show in your profile; that is just features, that is yourself, not easily altered! You can do something about changing and im- proving the profile by the way you do your hair, but you cannot do a great deal. You can, however, kéep your profile young. And you can go to all sorts of lengths to do so, even to wearing face masks and chin straps. Why not? You must watch three places for signs_of age—around the eyes, where long lines form, radiating out from the corners of the eyes. Around the mouth, where one or two deeply cut wrinkles | will appear almost over night, and under the chin, Here is the best treatment, especially for mouth and chin and profile: After the usual skin cleansing, which means that the cleansing cream or oil is wiped off or washed off thorouthly, & good massage cream, one that is slightly astringent, is rubbed on. This is rub- bed gently over the eyelids and out as far as the lines extend on the cheeks and left on. Then a little is rubbed into the lines about the mouth and quite & bit under the chin. Then the chin is strapped up, using strips of an old sheet or strips of any sort of white muslin. Wrap these around the head and under chin, strapping it up quite snugly, and then pin or tie the ends of the muslin together. xmwnuz‘wwmu 0 at that— kee] the chin strap on for half an hour—but I find that rubbing the chin with ice, over the muslin, is an excel- lent addition to this treatment. Your chin receives the benefit of this very cold treatment, which is astringent, and which _stre; ens the weak muscles and which tends to do away with & double chin. You can use the ice this way for 10 minutes at least. W‘lge :kflin..n cold creams end powder the 1. D.

Of course, they will grow again, but the hair is no worse for having been pulled out. It is well to try to weaken down such hair first by using peroxide and am- monia, half and half, with the am- monia of the strength used for house- hold_purposes. Dampen the skin where the hair is with this mixture once a day unless it makes the skin tender; then wait until it recovers and repeat it twice or three times a week.

Anyway, what valuble nollege did you pick up today? he sed. I had a lesson in stalling, ma sed. I was driving along in perfeck confidence and suddenly out of a blue sky I stalled and the car naturelly stopped ded in its tracks. The Sparrow salesman pointed out that I had slowed down too much without letting out the clutc! I asked him if that would always it stall, and he assured me it would, but I always bleeve that personel ex- perience is 9 tents of the law, so I de- cided to try it again and see for my- self. So I did, and sure enough I stalled again. In fact I made 2 more perfeck stalls just to sattisfy myself. The ferst one happened to take place rite in frunt of a traffic officer just when he happened to be quite bizzy giving instructions in a loud voice to about 20 machines at the same time. Reely, he was almost rude about it. And the 2nd time it happened to take place in the middle of a narrow street wich would of been very quiet and an ideal place to stall in if there hadent been a fire somewhere in the nayber- hood and a duzzen fire engines all seemed to wunt to get passed at tl.e same time, Of corse there was nuthing for them to do but wait and be patient about it, but by that time the Sparrow salesman seemed to of had enough for one day, so he finished the lesson, ma sed. He seems to be of rather an im- patient disposition, she sed. Yee gods, pop sed, and went around to the bowling alley. Health Salad. (Made with raw vegetables.)
