Over this pour one and & half cupfuls warm milk and stir until well mixed. Pour over the potato and apple slices. Sprinkle lightly with fine bread crumbs and dot with butter. Bake in a mod- erate oven (350 degrees) for half an hour or until the apples and potatoes are tender when pidrced with & fork. Serve as a 'a!hhle. ‘The dish is espe- clally good with roast pork. Note: If apples are tart use more sugar. Nutmeg can be used instead of cinnamon if preferred, or the spice can be omitted entirely. For & richer dish increase the amount of butter. Apple compote differs from apple sauce in having the pleces preserve their shape. The simplest compote is made from quartered apples boiled in & hot sirup. Use little water and sugar according to the kind of apples whether sweet or tart, the latter lose their shape quicker than the former. The sirup will not completely cover the pieces of apple but they will steam in a closely covered saucepan. Plerce the apples after 10 minutes and if soft they are done. Remove and pour into a jar and put on the top or serve hot. Novelty compote is made by cutting the apples in slices and cutting each slice with a small fancy cutter. Or use the potato ball cutter and scoop out wee balls from peeled apples. Then cook in the sirup. The rest of the apples can be used for apple sauce or es. Ginger apple compote is made by putting a bit of ginger root into the sirup. For cinnamon apple compote omit the ginger and put in a stick of cinnamon. Any apple compote can be served instead of apple sauce. Spiced compotes can be served as a dessert or ncy apple betty—Arrange layers of bread crumbs alternately with _slices first of apples, and then dates. Finish with a layer of bread crumbs.

Otherwise—well, otherwise you lose about & third of your good looks. Remember that when you are around town, in shops, at tea parties, theaters, or any place where you have on a hat and a coat, the only parts of you your- self by which your looks can be judged are face and hands. For your hair is covered by & hat, which can be as smart as you can afford: your figure is a matter of a good corset and well fit- ting, becoming clothes. These days al- most every one has good legs, because not much of them show! But there is no disguising hands. The face can be made up, and hats can have at least a little brim: but hands are hands, and there is little disguise that can be used. So protect them. If you are lucky enough to have one of these grand kitchen sinks that have a dishwashing arrangement attached to them, that's & help. If you live in an apartment and have all the hot water you need, there are hose affairs which spurt out soapy water over a panful of dishes, which, being rinsed, dry themselves. Hands are protected. Otherwise, when you wash dishes of a morning, slip on a pair of loose rubber gloves. Pile on your dishes, wash them, stack them in a rack, pour hot water over them and go away while they dry. Do your bath room then; your hands are still pro- tected from the soap and the cleanser you must use around plumbing. And do any other odd job which requires soaking the hands—stains on paint, or if it is & wash day, putting the clothes to soak and getiing off the worst stains. In fact, I think if you smear your hands with lard or cream first, it is a help, for it gives the hands a beauty treatment while you work. The gloves go inside out for a soaking and wash- ing anyway, before you wear them again, After your housework, give the fin- uick manici THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1930.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The Lacey E‘:h had established & reputation for having original and dif- ferent Christmas cards and Christmas presents. That meant it became in- creasingly difficult for them to think up new ideas. They were in despair over supper dish with cookies or small cakes, | the Christmas cards to be sent this el ey took their troubles to their mother. “I can't think of & thing that is different, chickies, but why don’t you combine an old idea with & new one and get a half original card anyway?” “What do you mean, le, t can we do?” “Well, you remember that picture of the house we. had taken last year when there was that beautiful snowstorm?

(Copyrisht, 1930.) FAMOUS PREDICTIONS Vision Told Youthful Oliver Cromwell he Would Be “Great- est Figure in Kingdom.” BY J. P. GLASS, “METHINKS I HEAR MY NOBLE PARASITES STYLING ME CAESAR OR GREAT ALEXANDER.” ‘Tradition tells all sorts of wonderful things of the adventurous childhood of Oliver Cromwell. There is a story that in 1604 the Duke of York, later to be Charles I, was taken to Hinchinbrook, the estate of Oliver’s grandfather, where the youngsters Oliver, 5, and Charles, 4, quarreled and fought, with Oliver pro- phetically us. Another tradition has it that on an- other occasion a pet monkey belonging the infant Oliver and carried him to the roof, but miraculously brought him down again. Still another has it that he came very near being drowned, only being saved by the intervention of & curate, who in later days announced he very much regretted the rescue. And there are numerous accounts of his adventures in robbing apple orchards and dove houses. Most interesting of all, however, are the tales of his nightly visions and pro- phetic omens. For instance, there was the story of the festival at the Hunting- don Grammar School. The pupils act- allegorical comedy called “Lingua,” in which the characters rep- resented the tongue and the five senses. Oliver is sald to ed by & scene in which Touch, stum- bling over & crown and ter, puts the crown on his head and recites: “Methinks I hear my noble parasites Styling me Caesar or great Alexander.” In later years this incident was re- Iated as being of the boy's eventual career. But while the story may have been true, it is difficult to the incident as prophetic. Probably all the other boys in the school would have preferred that same role. Another incident seems to be pretty well authenticated. And it is the more credible for the reason that Cromwell, despite his stern and indomitable hard- headedness, had a good deal of the mystic in him, ‘According to the Rev. Mark Noble, Oliver announced one morning that dur- ing the night a gigantic figure had come and opened the curtains of his bed and told him that he should be the greatest person in the kingdom. This figure did :ol, however, tell him he would be ing. His father, Robert Cromwell, strongly reproved him for his folly. It was downright wicked of Oliver to make such assertions, he said. Dr. Beard, a clergyman of moderate Puritanic lean- ings, who presided over the Huntingdon Do you know what foods help your teeth and gums? To HAVE good teeth, science says, you must eat generously of foods containing vitamins and mineral salts. Fresh vegetables, milk, fruits, eggs should be eaten daily. And then there’s the question of dentifrices. What type is best t6 use? E. R. Squibb & Sons asked a leading research institution to tabulate opinions among 50,000 practicing dentists. Read the summayr; of the replies received: Grammar School, likewise took his pupil to_task. Notwithstanding the views of his elders, Oliver is said to have held stub- bornly to his story. The outcome was that he was flogged by Dr. Beard at the request of Robert Cromwell. Even this did no good. Oliver said no more to his father and teacher, but he related the circumstances more than once to his favorite uncle, Steward. It was impossible for either Dr. Beard or Mr. Cromwell to envision a great fu- ture for a boy whose chief propensity was to get into mischief. However, Oliver's nocturnal visitor—if he had one—certainly spoke the truth. He not fiy "'“flfg ::e greatest pemn in ‘l:e lom, many ways greatest in g lish his (Copyright. 1930.)

SPROWLS. Social-Mindedness. It used to be said that a soclal- minded person was one who could with great exactness figure out what the group thought. There's a great deal to be said for this theory. For one thing, those who have this social sense are natural politicians. They know not only how to get the votes, but how to represent the group for which they function as a sort of common mental denominator. Perhaps you have noticed that it's a poor politi- cal speech that attempts to tell the group something it does not already know. An office-seeker makes a big mistake, soclally speaking, if he ap- pears to be wiser than t', ' average man he would like to represen .. In recent years various social phi- losophers have proposed some addi- tional information about social-minded- ness. This new idea is focused upon the weaknesses of individuals. Probably Charles Darwin started it. He noticed that only the weak animals run in herds, gu'kl, flocks and hordes. ‘The historians took it up, and discov- ered that the weaker societles always had éhe greater number of sentinels on guard. ‘The law-makers also feel the same way. They are just beginning tc see that every law is an admission that many people are in need of a corre- sponding restraint. Soclal-mindedness means a sense of the frailties of men and a knowledge of | how to prevent these frailties from | doing violence to.the group. (Copyright. 1930.) Radish Salad.

Dear Miss Leeds: I read your articles every day and take interest in them as they sound very sensible and you never contradict yourself. In your articles you mention so much about the use of a good liquid skin tonic. Will you please explain more about that and advise the formula for a good one? What is the special bene- fit of it over a cream? O. T. Answer—A skin tonic is just what its name implies—a tonic to the skin. It is used after the skin has been thoroughly cleansed with warm water and soap or cold cream or both. Its purpose is to gently close the pores which have been opened in the cleansing process, and its constant cor- rect use will aid greatly in keeping the skin fine in texture. A skin tomic usually causes the skin to tingle just a bit. This is a good thing, for the skin usually needs some- thing of this sort to keep it from be- |- coming sluggish. But one must choose the tonic carefully; while it is a good thing for the skin to be stimulated, it must not be stimulated to the extent that it becomes red and blotchy. The woman with a dry skin must be espe- clally careful in this regard, but the market affords many excellent skin tonics from the extremely mild to those which are more drastic and thus more suited to an ofly complexion, If you wish to make your own, you will find the following excellent for a dry skin: Orange flower.water, 4 ounces; bori acid, 1 _dram; glycerin, 3 drams: rose- water, 3 ounces. When using, allow it to dry on the skin, then apply powder MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Lunch Boxes. I find that the 5 by 11 inch cracker box makes an excellent box for the individual lunch. Occasionally the children carry their lunches to school 5 on & stormy day, or they are invited to ro for an outing and take their own unch. They much prefer these boxes to the regulation lunch box, for they are light to carry and may be discarded when they have finished eating. (Copyrisht, 1930.) Green Icing.
