WOMAN’S PAGE. Two Games for Adults to Play BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Adults who like to instill variety into site ‘cne another, which must come in their entertainments will find some of |the consecutive order of opposites. The the ideas given today helpful. These |person who in a given time fills in the games, if such.they may be called, are [spaces with the longest words begin- ot given as novel, but as enjoyable.|ning and ending as prescribed wins. w The score is kept by points, each syl- Jable ‘scoring one polht. Players are seated in a circle. One says to the person at his, or her, left, | “I've been to Paris.” The player ad- dressed says, “What did you buy?” The first_player says_ansthing she wishes, | which may be a Parisian hat. The per- | son’ addressed now says to_the player |at her lcft, “I've been to Paris.” And |the same formula is followed in ques- | tions and answers as just described. Let |us suppose the article now purchased |is & pair of gloves. The ccnversation |is carried around the entire circle. At the beginning of rounds players | must repeat articles previously given and add still another. For instance, the first plaver will say, “I bought a Pa- |risian hat and an evening gown" (if | that is what she wishes to add), while the second player will say, “I bought |a pair of gloves and a bottle of per- fume.” If a person fails to repeat every item as the game continues in rounds, | he'must drop out. The player remain- ing to the end wins. Roast Lamb or Mutton. The leg, loin and rib are the cuts| of lamb or mutton best suited for roast- ing. See that the meat is clean, but avoid washing it. The pink skin-like layer should be removed from the sur- | face. “Place the meat in the roasting | pan on a rack or use a roaster which | is supported upon a rim which holds it | up from contact with the bottom of the oven. Brown the surface well in a hot | oven. This will probably require about 15 minutes.. Then reduce the heat and | continue the roasting, allowing 15 min- | utes to"each pound of meat, or ‘a little | longer if the cut is thick. In case gas | |is the fuel used and the roast is a | | small_one, the preliminary browning can be done more economically in a | frying pan over one of the top burners. [ | Baste the roast every 15 minutes un- less a covered roaster is used. If the | meat rests upon a rack, a small_quan- tity of water may be kept in the bottom of the pan to prevent the drippings from becoming too brown. The water shuu'ld not come in contact with the roast. Apple Salad. Two cups diced apples, one cup diced relery, one-half cup diced marshmal- | lows, ‘one-half cup broken nuts, cne- | half "teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon | paprika and two-thirds cup salad dress- |ing. Chill ingredients. Combine and serve on lettuce. NANCY .

Women in all parts of the country have ideas. Some of them write about their ideas and wish to know how to sell or exploit them. Usually their ideas can be sold and exploited, but not as easily as their creators would like. The truth is that selling requires effort, ir- respective of the worth of one's idea. Unless women with ideas are willing to make that effort, theyll get nowhere. Let’s consider your idea. You wish to sell a certain kind of cake, or shape of hat, or painted stationery, or some sort of handiwork. First you must de- cide where you will find your best and readiest market, then determine to whom your first products may be sold. This is assuming that you have a prod- uct to sell. However, the same rules of procedure would hold for a service you wished to sell, or improvement, or anything of which your mind has thought. Find the market, find the consumer. If you can sell directly to the con- sumer at first, it will be to your ad- vantage. Your profits will be greater, your mistakes less costly, and you will achieve a favorable position. By creat- ing a demand for your product or serv- ice you interest the wholesaler or dis- If you went to him at first he would be disinterested. No matter how good your idea, prod: | WHEN a child is fretful and irritable, seems distressed and un- comfortable, can’t play, can't sleep, it is a pretty sure sign that some- thing is wrong. Right here is where Castoria fits into a child's scheme— the very purpose for which it was formulated years ago! A few drops and the condition which caused the trouble is righted; comfort quickly brings restful sleep. Nothing can take the place of Castoria for children; it's perfectly harmless, yet always effective. For the protection of your wee one— for your own peace of mind—keep this old reliable preparation always on hand. But don’t keep it just for emergencies; let it be an every-day aid.

Prove that it will sell and future sales will be guaranteed. Somehow selling at home seems more difficult to women with ideas than sell- ing away from home. That is not a fact. Unless local conditions are pe- culiarly unfavorable, one can sell at home as easily as she may sell else- where—and at less expense. By creat- ing a strong demand at home women with ideas are enabled to get business elsewhere. Most large woman-made businesses started at home. When a demand is created for the practical application of your idea, a distributor must then be found. He may be a manufacturer, wholesaler or retaller. Cheap articles may be sold to chain-store organizations. Services must be sold personally to the several people or firms that use them. All of this requires hard work— “plugging,” as men call it. Where there isn’t competition to meet there is resistance, sales resistance, to the idea, product or service that is new. They must be presented for sale in a de- liberately = schemed way. Anything worth a candle can be sold—but noth- ing will sell itself, it's up to you. Useful.
