The LY O R/ S == other is the preference to have leisure for rest or pleasure (or both) after one' work is accomplished, or between th o o o Is the refrigerator manufactured c o M P A RE !

Unless onegets up early enough to have leisure after the morning’s labor is over, and before the time comes to get dinner, the tasks will take all the time, thus eliminating any possible opportunity for either gest or Ppleasure. It may be that a homemaker has to rise early to have breakfast in time for some member of the family to get to his or her work. Her own choice might be to sleep until later in the morning. Even =0, it is to get work done that she must rise, although this work may be done by another. The homemaker can take advantage of the long day, how- ever, since the early rising permits of rest later or recreation. Early rising has such advantages on its side that a woman ean suit her preferences about the hour when she gets up, may well choose to rise at a reasonably early hour. We are not now considering abnormally early rising, such as sometimes, during certain sea- sons of the year, is the hard portion of women living on farms. But we are thinking of women who, for an hour or more sleep in the morning, will have to rush through the work of the day with scarcely time enough to do any task as well as it deserves. Such fran- tic haste wears the nervous system. During the hours when such a woman is up she has no moments of leisure. Her days are harder than they need to be. Getting up early is of no value if one loiters over work because of the extra time one has. Better sleep, if one can, unless the minutes are put to good use. A homemaker who, by rising early, is able to “get the work out of the way” appears to_be a person who has plenty of time. Pressure of work makes life hectic when one tries to do it in hours made too short by late rising. For a person’s own comfort and pleasure rea- sonably early rising has decided ad- vantages. . Vegetable Chowder. Fry out half a cupful of cubed fat salt pork. I you prefer, bacon may be used. Remove the scraps and pour the fat into a kettle. Add one cupful each of diced white potatoes, carrots and turnips, one sliced onion,’one teaspoon- ful of celery salt and a pinch of pepper and enough water to cover. Cook until the vegetables are tender, then add two cupfuls of hot milk. Let come to the bofling point, then add three table- spoonfuls of flour made into a paste with a little cold milk. Do not allow to boil, but keep very hot until ready to serve. . A Clever Hostess. Keep a card index of the preferences of your guests forc ertain foods. Grad- ually will acquire what will seem to be to your guests a remarkable mem- ory for their special likes and dislikes, and when they come unexpectedly to visit you, as they sometimes do, you will be able, by reference to your file, to serve some favorite dish or substitute another for something your record shows is not liked. — o.0 o Is there provision for the freez- (Quantity of ice rather than number of cubes, which may be of large or small size, should be taken into con- sideration). @ o« Will the refrigerator constantly maintain a proper temperature for the preservation of foods?

C, THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE 2970 Peplums are tremendously smart vogue, and are featured at all the Paris showings particularly for day wear. ‘Today’s little sports type is a crepy patterned woolen with the pleasingly youthful pique collar and cuffs. ‘The center-front button trim gives it a lengthened line, which makes it equal- ly appropriate for miss or matron. The sleeves show interesting detail. ‘To keep the hipline the skirt fits very snugly below the peplum flounce, which is circular to match the skirt.

Do You Pay Girls the Little Attentions They Crave? A YOUNG man writes me that he is unpopular with the girls and he can't for the life of him understand why. Well, son, there is always a reason why, 80 suppose you yourself these questions: What sort of appearance do you present? Are you the sort of young man that a girl would be proud to flaunt in the faces of the other girls, or would she have to tell them that you had a kind heart, or you were good to r mother, or you had a college degree to explain Why she was stepping out with something that looked as if it had been fished out of the ash can? Girls don’t care 2 cents’ worth whether & boy has a classical profile or | merely an assemblage of features. In fact, they rather prefer to monopolize the good looks themselves, but they do want & man to have on the right sort of clothes and to have a fresh shave and hair cut and his shoes polished and to be generally spic-and-span. A girl can overlook many things more easily than she can having his coat sleeves too short and his trousers bag at the knees. Are you egotistical? Is your line talking about yourself and your belongings? Do you think that every girl is just pining to hear every detail of your life, and that she sits up goggle-eyed listening while you tell her everything that has ever happened to you from the time you were a little boy with freckles and pale green warts up to what you said to the boss and the boss said to you. Believe me, son, no other woman on earth but your mother wants to hear you discourse about how wonderful you are. ‘What every girl is craving to be told 5 how marvelous she is and how different from every other woman. Are you patronizing to women? Do you m%t‘- superior air and mentally t all girls on the head and tell them, in effect, that they are dears and sweets, Efi: morons and, of course, they haven't & mighty masculine intellect, as you have. Do you bestow your attentions upon a girl with the air of a grand sheik casting the handkerchief to a favorite, and act as if you thought that any girl you noticed should- do fiipflops of gratitude before you? Are you argumentative? Do you think it shows how clever and original you are fo differ with everybody on every point? Especially, do you belittle everything that girls think, and tell them that everything they like is punk, every- thing they believe in is bunk? Take it from me, son, there is no other man in the world on whom women get so quickly fed up. and whose society they so eagerly avoid, as the consclentious objector to whom one can't even say it is a pleasant day without starting something. Are you easy to get along with or does a girl have to walk on eggs when you | are around to avoid stepping on one of your pet prejudices? Are you always getting offended at something and keeping a girl in an apologetic attitude? ‘When you go to see a girl or take her out do you feel insulted if she speaks to another man, and swell up with gloom and spoil the party? If you are one of the surly, ill-natured, quarrelsome, jealous brutes, why do you imagine any girl wants to bother with you? What have you to offer that would make it worth her while to work like a coal heaver jollying you along and turn down pleasant and agreeable men for you? Are you a tightwad? The average girl isn’t a gold-digger. She isn’t always tryln; to make men spend money on her, but when a man does take her out she doesn’t want him to jam her down in the cheapest seat at the movies and look as if he were having & tooth extracted when he buys her a 5-cent drink. She wants him at least to appear to enjoy giving her a treat. Do you know how to dance, or are you one of the clumsy clod-hoppers who bump a partner into every couple and mash her feet to a pulp? If so, why should any girl risk maiming herself for life by dancing with you? Do you run after girls, or do you expect them to run after you? Do you pay them the little attentions that all women love? Do you send them flowers, write them notes, call them up on the telephone, or do you expect them to make all of the dates and write you two letters to your one when you are away? When you are with a girl do you exert yourself to be entertaining and amusing, or do you expect her to break her neck trying to divert you? DOROTHY DIX., (Copyright, 1931.) FRLRUARY 25, 1931.

The formal acknowledgment, suitable for occasions, is “How do you do?” Send a stamped envelope for the leaflet “What to Say and Do When Introduced.” Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Moist Clothes. Brush your clothes, mend your clothes, air your clothes and dry them after they have becomé wet or moist, and they will look well much, much longer than they would if you failed to take these pains. Fallure to brush clothes to free them from dust and grime not only makes them look badly, it actually does harm to_the fabric. For some reason men are usually much more regular in their use of the clothes brush than women are. Per- haps this is because they almost al- ‘ways wear woolen coats and overcoats and when women wear fur or silk or linen or cotton they get out of the habit of using a brush. ‘The usual morning brushing of coat or hat may be done indoors if neces- sary, but thorough brushing should be done outdoors to prevent the dust con- taminating the’ air inside. Woolen clothes worn by children should re- ceive a thorough outdoor brushing once a week.
