Ice- berg lettuce is akin to cabbage. On the Continent of Europe radishes are cut and spread lightly with butter when eaten. They may be served whole or sliced. The butter relieves the biting taste enough to make the gay little tubers more delicate. Here in America we usually dip radishes in salt or eat them plain. ‘Whatever the kind, and there are many vegetables that are deliclous eaten raw, be sure to have one, at OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Handmade. Beauty comes high because it is| scarce. The law of supply and demand seems to work here as everywhere else. We value what is difficult to get. We value beauty and sigh because it seems And it is |us as the machines become more and | more powerful and efficient. | The factory can turn out furniture | faster than we can wear it out, though | that seems to be not too long at that. | This furniture is very pretty, very | cheap, and makes it possible for young | people to start their homes with Ticher and more elaborate equipment than | their fathers and mothers ever dreamed of having. But_after one hes lived | with it for a while it seems to lack | something. It has mnot the holding It has not the touch. | 'The touch of beauty is the touch of the artist’s hand. That hand working | so skillfully with a glistening tool is the | | extension of the brain, the development | of a thought through matter. Every | movement of that hand is in response | | to an inflection of a thought and there | | is shining through it_the intangible | spirit that is beauty.

What the | hand of the artist once touched, lives in_beauty forever. ‘What have we of the machine age to| do with this? Much. Without vision & people perish. Beauty is the expression | of & vision always. A people who have | no hunger for beauty, who have no vi-| satisfy, are going out. That is not true We of America are hungry for | beauty, We are searching for it as never before. The eagerness with which we follow the trail of the antique tells its own story.

Have no fear that an artist will starve to death. The machine age will take care of that. Handwork, that touch of inspiration, will be at a premium and be who can produce it can name his | own price whether it be a table or a temple, a bit of lace or a fresco.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., NANCY PAGE Elvine and Nancy Plan Wedding Procession. BY FLORENCE LA GANXE. Elvine was checking her list of at- tendants for her wedding. “You would think that I would know in just what order the procession is formed after all the weddings I have seen, but honestly I can’t remember. Wil you help me out, Nancy?"” Suppose we remember that a wedding procassion is a part of a pageant, really. 1t is something of a medieval custom when color and show were a part of festival life. That may have been be- drab and colorless. Nowadays the ushers offer no color to the procession since the time of vel- vet doublets and slashed and laced cos- tumes is over. But after all, they make a good foil in their somber black and white for the gay dresses of the brides- maids. First come the ushers, two by two. | Then the bridesmaids, also two by two. Following the bridesmaids comes the maid ‘of honor. and even if she is married she is called the maid—and | not the matron of honor. Then come the flower girls or the flower girl and sion, no dreams that & machine cannot | ¢no ring bearer. After them comes the | bride on the arm of her father, brother, uncle or other male relative who is to give her away. If there are pages they are supposed to come last, holding up the bride’s train, The best man, bridegroom and clergy- man enter the church from the vestry and stand at the chancel rail awaiting the bridal party.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX JEAR MISS DIX—Does a husband's love decrease and a wife's love increase after marriage? I am sure my husband is fond of me, but he is a changed man when we are with friends. In public he is horribly indifferent to me and scarcely shows me any attentions at all. This annoys me so that my disposition is immediately affected and I become sulky and want to go home. My great weakness is nagging, but it is my hurt pride that makes me do it. Can you help me, MJ.ssUDix? & B ANSWm—No one can help us overcome our faults. We have to do that by ourselves. We have to have the strength and courage to realize that we are doing a wrong and foolish thing and to quit doing it. ‘The trouble with us that we are always expecting some miracle to be wrought from without that will pleasantly and painlessly change us into what we should be without our having to make any sacrifice of our inclinations or the ways that are so dear to us. The drunkard thinks that something will happen that will keep him from having the thirst for drink. The lazy think that they will sudenly become energetic and love to work. The high-tempered woman thinks that she will be changed into a gentle, amiable creature. NONE of these supernatural changes occur. The only reformation that ever takes place is self-made, When we tackle the job our- selves and have the grit to deny ourselves doing the thing we want to do, then we have a reform as is a reform. ‘There are two reasons why the nagger seldom reforms. One is be- cause she never admits to herself that she is a nagger. And actually this is true because nagging becomes such a habit with many women that they do not know when they do it. It becomes as instinctive with them as breathing. THE second reason is that they feel they are justified by their motive. They nag those they love to death through affection and interest. It is because a woman's whole world is centered in her husband and children that she puts them through the third degree every time they g0 out of the house and torments them with questions about everyt they do and see and think and hear. And it is because she is solicitous about thelr welfare that she nags them about what they eat and putting on their rubbers and muffiing up their throats and not getting their feet wet and looking out for automobiles when they cross the street, TH’ERE are plenty of homes in which no one ever eats a meal in peace because the wife and mother nags about eating too much or too little or eating meat or putting salt on the food or conforming to some dietetic fad she has taken up. And there are plenty of boys and girls who leave home at the earliest possible moment to get away from mother's nagging and so as to be able to do one thing the way they want to do it. And plenty of husbands would desert devoted wives if they followed their inclinations just because they feel they will blow up and go violently, insane if fhey have to listen to their wives' harping upon the seme ol string again. So if yau are a nagger, Bunny, I don't wonder that you notice & decrease in your husband’s affection after marriage, because you have taken the surest and the quickest way to kill his love for you. There is no other crime under the sun that a man cannot forgive the woman he is married to more easily than that. As for your husband not showing you any demonstration of affec- tion in public that is because he is & man of good taste. Billing and cooing is for the privacy of home. Husbands and wives who make a public display of their Jove are always under suspicion. Everybody thinks that they protest too much. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyrisht, 1931.)

Dear Miss Leeds: Will constant pressing make a crooked nose straight? 1t is not bad, but on one side of my nose the bone tends outward. Could | you suggest a massage or way to help matters any? RUDY. Answer.—If the bone itself is crooked. it will be impossible to change the | shape of the nose with mere massage. | Plastic surgery is the only method by | which this can be Sccomplished. But | since the end of the nose is composed of cartilage and muscle, much can be ac- complished through regular massage. To massage the nose place the first and second fingers on the bridge and press and gently knead the flesh with the | thumb of the same hand. Unless the | bone itself is actually deformed, you | will find that this massage will help | greatly. But, remember, results do not | come very quickly, so keep up the good | work for weeks and weeks before you hope for very definite results. LOIS LEEDS. Grooming the Eyebrows.
