The best thing to do is to use no enamel, at all for awhile and to polish the nails by using polishing paste or powder and a soft chamois covered nail buffer. | Five minutes’ buffing of the nails each lday is the best treatment possible for ridges or brittleness.

It was as unlite Moumoutte Blanche, as mud is unlike milk, It was lean, ugly, wretched, forlorn. Some instinct led it at once to the cabin of Lotd, the cat lover. But he did not love this one. Tawny, spotted, with orange eyes set in a white face, ears that were too large, and a tail that was too long, she repulsive to him. He put her out. ‘This was not a cat to be discouraged. At the first opportunity she came into the cahin again. Being ejected did not stop her from coming back. Finally, she remained, tolerated, but not ac- cepted. A strange psychological struggle ensued. The cat’s eyes were always on Loti, asking sympathy and understand- ing. And always he refused them. One melancholy September night he sat wri the semi-obscurity of his cabin.

Particularly the puny infant, the| baby that falls to gain in weight and strength as he should. the baby that suffers from malnutrition, the baby that suffers from constipation, daily ration of fresh ripe raw banana | benefits. This should be fed to the in. the age of 4 months, begin- ning with a half teaspoonful of the soft, sweet, yellow pulp the first day, a teaspoonful the second day, and day after day increasing the amount given by about a teaspoonful, so that after a | month the baby will have, say, half a banana a day. Then after another month or two the baby should have a whole banana every day. Don't add anything to the banan: See to it that only well ripened banan: is given the baby. When a banana is well ripened, the skin is golden yellow, flecked with brown spots, not black bruise marks. The pulp of the well ed banana is soft but not mushy, gle'n not black, and quite sweet. 'nwunndl of mothers have found that the baby thrives on a suitable banana ration. While I heartily ap- prove the feeding of bananas to the baby, I must condemn any extension of such generosity to include peanuts and castor ofl. Now, so far as I know, there is noth- | ing at all objectionable in feeding pea- nut oil to an infant in lieu of butter or milk faf, nor is there any good reason THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Snappy Day Frock.

Beautiful Moumoutte Blanche was shocked beyond measure at Loti's un- faithfulness. She refused to receive her rival graciously.

Each showed equal valor and a truce was brought on by splashing both freely with cold water. ‘They never fought again. At first they continued cool to each other.

D. why little ones should not have plenty of peanut butter on their bread or | crackers. Indeed, the household that | makes liberal use of peanut butter in the feeding of the children is a well managed houschold, in my judgment. ‘There is scarcely another item of food | that surpasses peanuts, as a staple of the dietary, all factors—nutritive value, digestibility, palatability and cost— | being considered. But no peanuts or salted pelnuu for the children under 5 years of age. Here is why not: “Dear Dr. Brady—Last Sunday our baby, aged 20 months, got hold of a salted peanut. Some of it went down the wrong ¥ay. (That “going down the wrong way” means aspiration, breathing into the chest the forcign body or bit of food.) “Both my husband and myself were near him at the time, but failed to notice lnythlni until he gave a choked cry. We she him upside down and tried every way to relieve him, but he only seemed to grow worse. So my husband started giving him artificial respiration, while I called our doctor, who arrived in 10 minutes. “They rushed the baby to the hos- pital, uhere they had a terrible time, but when it was all over the doctor said it was the artificial respiration that had saved the child. We just happened to know the method because we had read the description you gave in your column. But please send us your book- let on artificial respiration, so we can show our friends in black and white, the day, rub polishing powder or paste on the nails and polish them with a| buffer for at least five minutes. For the first day or two they will not scem very bright, but after that you will find that you can polish them to a brilliance almost equal to enamel. The polish stimulates the circulation and the tex- ture of the fingernails is improved they will not break so easily and many of the ridges will disappear. ‘With the sharp blade of a knl!t. may appear to be a slow process, finally it will mean a cure. A. J—In the list of foods you sent, the fattening ones are the corn bread and the pork. Graham crackers can hardly be considered as having any fat- tening tendency because not many of them are eaten at a time. The small amount of starch that graham flour | contains and the sugar used to sweeten them would count slightly if you counted the calories. MODE S OF THE MOMENT “Sincerely, Mrs. S- S (Note—If Mrs. S. se2s this, will she kindly write and give me her address? I falled to notice in time where the let- ter came from, and I should like to keep it as a gold star letter—that is, a letter telling how life has been saved through application of knowledge gained through this column.) ‘The aspiration of pleces of peanut is, of course, a grave enough accident, | even if the child coughs the foreign| body up. But in many instances the peanut lodges somewhere in the bron- | chus and the skilled service of a doctor who does bronchoscopy is necessary. | Such doctors are few and far between. Whether the peanut is located and suc- | cessfully removed through the broncho- | scope or not, its presence in the chest | |1s likely to induce inflammatory reac- }uon and either pneumonia or lung ab- scess as a compiication. The treatment these parents used was absolutely right. First they attempted to favor the ejection or coughing up of the foreign body by holding the child up by the heels for a few moments, and at the same time s g:nklng on the back | up between the shoulder blades with the flat of the hand. This should be tried for only a few seconds, however, say for a dozen quick spanks of the hane, and if it fails the child should be placed at once in the prone position on the floor or a table or bed and arti- ficial respiration applied until the doc- tor takes charge. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Cleaning in Winter. No sensible housewife would attempt to be so forehanded as to do the Spring housecleaning in January, but there are a lot of smal' cleaning and ar- ranging tasks that may be done dur- ing the Midwinter weeks that will grea ly simplify the general house-cleaning sometime in April. One good task to have out of the way is the careful arrangement of your food closets, which have, perhaps, become slightly disordered during the rush of Christmas holidays. If you have not already arrangtd glass or tin recepta- cles for the usual sorts of provisions this is a good time to do it. You can buy convenient sets of containers for sugar, | salt, flour, coffee, spices, et t small | cost in the stores nowadays. usual materials you may keep in glass fruit jars, each provided with & good tight top. Small candy jars, in which hard is so'd or any other sort of straght. sicod glass jar with a proper sort of top may be used for this purpose. | To ma.e your system perfect you should paint the name of the material to be kept in the jar on the outside with black or other dark-colored paint. Use an inexpensive artist’s brush for this purpose. After the paint has dried thoroughly you may shellac over the painted word so as to make it .eally permanent. Never use paper labels, which will curl up and come off, leav- ing you unable to tell at a glance the difference between powdered sugar and g powder, cracker crumbs and corn meal. Any food that comes in metal or glass containers with good tops need not be taken out, but food in bl‘l and boxes should all be put in metal or | glass containers, If you do this bit of arrangement now you will find it & very much easler task to clean your food cupboards later on, ABE MARTIN SAYS | very strong urge If wishes were horses beggars might ride—and if wishes were dresses we | should probably all start in the new j year by discarding all or most of our old ones and laying in an entirely new | wardrobe., Spring and Autumn may be a more logical time for buying new clothes, but after Christmas comes a vith most_of us to | buy clothes that are new and different to counteract the depression of short days and gray skies. Every woman who can possibly afford it really owes herself one or two new dresses during the first part of January | —preferably bright-colored dresses that may be worn effectively under the dark neutral toned fur or cloth coat. And one or two new evening dresses are al- most essential to the woman who ha.s a full social calendar. | ‘There are, however, many other ways by which we can satisfy our desire for something to wear. New collars and | cuffs will quite transform the wool Ori silk day-time dress that no longer looks new. A new clip or feather will do won- | ders for a tired looking hat. Fresh | gloves and scarf restore smartness to a suit or coat, and well chosen costume jewelry will make you forget that your afternoon or evening dress has already | appeared on numeroys occasions.

The repairman chuckled | when he examined the machine. Thre was only one thing wrong with it. Some one had shifted the tabulator key and adjusted the ribbon tc a po- sition where it was kept out of the way for stencil work. ‘The minimum charge for typewriter repairmen in this particular locality is $1.50 an hour whether an hour or a minute is actually corsumed.

Some of the most expensive things in life are errors of omission. There comes a time when we feel overtaxed or overburdened, and we simply cannot or will not overcome our mental inertia, By doing nothing we fail to do some- thing essential, and all too soon there is a piper or typewriter repeirman to pay. A good many women have so few dol- lars that they spend them in the most frugal manner; and then turn about and neglect or overlook a task or need that will cost them many a pretty penny to repair or replace.

Clean and disjoint a chicken. Sprin- kle with salt and pepper and roll it in flour. Brown the chicken quickly on both sides in hot fat, having enough fat in the skillet to half cover. As soon as the chicken is seared remove it to a casserole or any utensil having a tight- fitting cover, Add two tablespoonfuls of the fat and one-fourth cupful of hot' water. Cover tightly and place in the oven. Add move water if necessary, but be sure that all water is evaporated be- fore serving, so that the chicken will be crisp, rather than moist. If chickens are very young, forty minutes or ofie hour will be enough cooking in a slow | oven, but chickens weighing as much as four pounds, or even fowls, may be pre- pared in this way, the time for cooking, of course, being determined by the ten- | derness.

They wanted to continue the custom, only this year they. believed they could let the chil- dren play a little larger part in the day's entertaining. For instance, Peter's young cousin could well see that guests were taken to the tea table. Joan could offer a plate of cakes to guests, and even Peter Page, ir., could greet the visitors. Usu- | ally the little tot was banished to the | nursety. As it was, Nancy was a bit | apprehensive as to what so much ex- citement. would do to him. Just so soon as she saw his cheeks geiting flushed with _excitement she took him | up to bed. But he had a_ wonderful time while the party lasted for him. Nancy planned a menu of sparkling cold fruit punch, sn traditional Christinas cookis, nuts, spiced nuts, and small squares of tart apricot paste. The fire was light®d in the fireplace in the living room. The buffet in the dining foom held ~the cakes, nuts, cookles and candies. On the table in | tea, cakes the dining room was the tea service and punch bowl. On this, table were napkins, plates, spoons and the fixings | for tea—lemon, orange slices wilh cloves, hard lemon drops, strawberry ! jam and cream. ! Some of the guests took their tea Russian_fashion, putting a large and plump preserved strawberry into the cup before the hot tea was poured in | Usually they added {orange wedge when they took the strawberry, but the richness of the strawberry made sugar unnecessary. The guests dropped in during the afternoon, stayed a half hour or so, extended their best wishes for the new Aear and departed.
