Naturally this takes some training. Taking care of children can often be done in part time. A woman with an attractive personality can get 8 or 10 children to take care of in the afternoon after they come home from school. I know a cook who is busy nearly every day from 2 o'clock in the after- noon on. Each day she goes to a dif- ferent house to help prepare an elab- orate dinner. She gets $10 for each MENU FOR A DAY.

NANCY PAGE Pies May Lose Crusts and Become Puddings BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Peter was getting too stout, there was no doubt. about it. He kept saying that he would have to take more exer- cise, have to diet, have to do this or that; but, like most men—and women, too, for that matter—he did nothing about it. So Nancy felt that it was If you do especially good baking or | her job to see that a few pounds were fine sewing it would be a good idea for you to consult your local woman’s ex- change and see if you cannot dispose of | your products. As T have said elsewhere, there are | direct assault. taken from her husband’s weight. She had learned in her four years of mar- ried life that she could not accomplish this by nagging, nor scolding, nor by It was up to her to find women who go once a week to different | some indirect method. And the method houses to_do mending. If you have a strong personality and don't mind being turned down, you can always earn extra money by selling something or other, stdckings or under- wear or magazines. Ex-teachers can often get some part- time work at tutoring, but there is a great deal of competition for that sort of work. Of course, hairdressing, massage and manijcuring can be done in part tinfe. ‘This includes body massage, a business of which I will tell you more fully some other time. Girls having problems in connection with their work may write to Miss Woodward. in care of this paper, for her personal advice. Household Problems BY BETSY CALLISTER. Mending Basket. Nothing makes the weekly mending | more troublesome or more’ of a trial than a disorderly or inconvenient sort | of sewing box. If every time you have to sew on buttons you have to selrch‘ for the buttons, needle, thread and | scissors, naturally you do not look for- | ward with much eagerness to the task. ‘There should be one box, or basket, or special place of some sort, where | you keep all the tools and supplies you | will need for the simple sort of mend- ing, and where others may find these requisites, always, of course, on the strict condition that they will put the | things back where they found them. | A large box or basket has certain dis- | advantages as a place for keeping mend- ; ing equipment. It so often beccmes | filled with other sewing materials and supplies that have to be lifted out be- | fore you can get to the tools you need. | A simple, practical and inexpensive | place for mending and sewing materials consists of one of the new combination stocking and shoe cases which you can | buy in any of the department stores. They are made either of wood or heavy | cardboard and are covered with cre- tonne or wall paper. ‘ In the shallow stocking drawer vou | can keep threads and darning cottons, | buttons and other small things you | need for mending or sewing, each sort | of thing having a small compartment | for itself. A small pasted to the | side of the compartment will keep things in order. In one of the shoe drawers you can keep stockings that | need mending, in another tape, piecu. of cotton, etc., that you will need in patches. In another you can keep pieces of ribbon and lace, and in | others you will find places for the va- rious sorts of things that usually add | m(uslon to a large mending basket or | she chose was simple enough. She planned dinners that were not as rich, as heavy in starches, fat and sugars as those she had been putting on the table previously. She chose many green vegetables, bulky ones with much woody fiber or cellulose which gave Peter the feeling of being well fed, when, after all, there was not much food value in any one of them, He was extremely fond of pie, but she found substitute dishes here, too. For instance, instead of baking his lemon cake-top pie she used the filling CAKE-TOP ‘PUDDING- i as a pudding, baked it in custard cups and never made the ple crust at all Peter liked the desert. Here is recipe: She mixed one cup sugar with three tablespoonfuls flour, added shree table- spoonfuls lemon juice, one-eighth tea- spoonful salt. To this she added two egg yolks, one cupful milk, one table- spoonful melted butter and then folded in two stiffly beaten egg whites. She baked this in custard cups and had a desert with a spongy, pleasantly flavored top and_with rich lemon custard be- neath. It became an immediate favo- rite in her family. her Per capita taxation in the United | States now is approximately $30 a year, while that of Germany is $39; of France, $50.45; of Britain, $79.45; of 83, $23.25.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif, February 10 (N.AN.A).—Hollywood is the grave- yard of husbands, the death knell of romance and the sure-fire invitation to domestic difficulties, according to such of the married with whom I have discussed this subject. And Hollywood's latest story of do- mestic difficulty would seem to bear this out. It is the current tale of the separation of the Alfred Knopfs, popu- lar couple hereabout until recently, when Mrs. Knopfs departed Hollywood, the beautiful home in Tower road was listed in the for rent catalogues of the village and the wealthy book publisher took up residence at one of the apartment hotels hereabout. ‘When the domestic difficulties of the Knopfs reached a breaking point, evi- dently the wife, who surrendered in the battle of Hollywood, fled precipitately. People who inspected the house with a view to rental relate that the baby's toys were still scattered along the floor where last they were laid down. And for a movie director who loves the “in- timate and pathetic touch,” what more poignant could be found than this from the original Hollywood reel? Another wife who coaxed her hus- band's career up from the simple begin- aings he had as & newspaper man to his high station as a studio executive re- turned recently from a trip to find a | lovely lady of 19 or so living in her home with friend husband. The wife, who had long known_the condition but had thought to beat Hol- lywood, had to have recourse to the divorce court to save her face. That is one way of carrying your point in this cinema center. It's known as forcing the hand—or being delightfully gay and modern about it all. Elsie Janis would scem to be having a little Tomance for herself these days. She is being squired about by a tall and handsome stranger, blond and devas- tating. Through his comedienne’s life the slogan for boy friends has been “pals— nothing more.” Romance for Elsie Janis has always been frowned upon She was married to her art and devoted to her mother. Then this most amazing companionship between & mother and | daughter was severed some eight months | l{‘oA when Mrs. Bierbauer died, and Elsie Janis, who had never been without her, was left alone. She took the blow stoically, went on with her studio work and her fiction writing, bravely attended parties when they must have been more of a torment than a treat, and comported her entire existence exactly as if her mother were still here. At Christmas time cards went out in Elsie Janis’ and her moth- er's name exactly as when Mrs, Bier- bauer was living. 2 But this romance with no mother to | discourage the wiles of Cupid may prove | the big one in Elsie Janis’ life. The vil- lage says it's serious. Not that you can believe this village about anything. Formless notions, vague ideas voiced ap- | athletically in the morning, are clad in | the well knit garments of fact by night. All the stories are not being written in gelatin. We have a few independent authors trying out their hand via the gossip system. (Copyright, 1931.) Fish With Sauerkraut. Fresh sauerkraut can be bought in the market. Prepare a quart of it for the fish by chopping it rather fine and cooking it in a covered pan for an hour, or until very tender. Cover a bluefish weighing about six pounds with but- | tered paper and bake it on the rack of a roasting pan for about an hour. Re- move the sauerkraut from the fire, stir into it a well-beaten egg mixed with one-fourth cupful of butter and spread on a platter. Over this place the fish, and pour over all the liquid from the roasting pan, mixed with an equal | amount of white grape juice. Garnish with carrot cups filled with green peas. | Potato Balls. | . With a round vegetable spoon cut out | from uncooked pared white potatoes | |two cupfuls of balls. Cook in bolling salted water for about 10 minutes, or until nearly tender. Drain and toss into a frying pan with four tablespoon- fuls of melted butter and a little salt. Set the pan in the oven, shaking it frequently, until the potatoes are thor- | oughly cooked and well browned. Add a little fresh butter, a dash of salt if needed and a tablespoonful of chopped parsley. Toss the balls around in the pan to get covered with a little parsley | | and serve at once. | { Parsnip Soup. Mash enough cooked parsnips to fmi |a pint measure. Season with one tea- | spoonful and a half of salt and half & teaspoonful of white pepper. Add two tablespoonfuls of grated onion and cook at simmering point in a pint of meat stock or water for about three minul Add to a quart of milk thickened with | half a cupful each of flour and butter | or bacon fat, and stirred over the fire until the whole boils. Pour into a tureen and add four hard-cooked eggs cut into slices. Garmish with water- cress and serve with crisp bread sticks. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

A—“Every one should be satisfied | with his lot, even if he hasn't a lot,” is the required form, because “every one” is singular and requires the singular pronouns “his” and “he.” A chaise-longue (French for long chair and pronounced shayz-long, not chase-lounge) is a lounge or sofa hav- ing a rest for the back at one end. My Neighbor Says: To remove paint from the glass of a window is quite a simple matter. A cloth dipped in hot vinegar will do it. Iron pillow slips lengthwise in- stead of crosswise if you wish to fron the wrinkles out instead of in. A good floor polish may be made by mixing four ounces of beeswax, a piece of resim the size of a hickory nut and one quart of turpentine. Pound the resin and cut up the beeswax. Then melt together. When they are melted take them from the fire and stir in & quart of turpentine. Rub & little of this on the floor with a piece of flannel and then polish with a dry flannel and a brush. A good washing fluid is made by mixing equal quantities of liquid ammonia and_turpentine. Add two tablespoonfuls of this when boiling clothes.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN A Friend's Note. | Have you ever been asked to take a| | friend’s personal note as security on a |loan? Almost every woman in business or social life encounters at least a few | such requests. It imposes on her no| light problem. It is difficult to refuse some friends, yet one may not be in a | position to risk any considerable sum ;ol money. Excuses that might avall | one on business—"money tied up,” “no| cash on hand,” and so forth, may| hardly do for a friend Let’s consider the business angle of it first. A friend's personal note with- out collateral is no better than her or his word. One might just as well lend money on & friend's verbal promise to pay back. If the borrower fails to meet | the note when it is due, one has no| | collateral to fall back on. Let’s analyze loans, now. If a friend juires & business loan, it is more than likely that & bank has been approached. Failure to interest a bank, or several banks, in such a loan is proof positive that the friend's business standing, | proposition, or financial condition is in doubt.
