"WOMAN’'S PAGE THE EVENING Enough Vegetables for Two Days BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. * The competent housewife appreciates the .advantages of making one day's work help the next when she prepares .and cooks food. Some fuel as well ag trouble is saved. For instance, enough potatoes can be boiled one day to serve SoNas ) THE VEGETABLES SO PREPARED ARE AS TEMPTING THE SECOND DAY AS THE FIRST. the following dinner also. tables that lose something of their flavor if not prepared soon after they are gathered retain this flavor better when cooked immediately, even though not eaten until the next day. Lettuce can be washed and put in a lettuce bag in the refrigerator. What is not needed one day is ready to serve the next. And so we could go through a long list of vegetables, but these suf- fice to show $he value of the plan. The second day's supply needs tasty preparation. _Peas, beans and carrots should be well seasoned, dotted with DO butter, and put in a moderate oven. A | little of the liquid in which each is THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Youthful and sportive is this check- ed shirting silk frock in skipper blue and white, ‘The bodice gives prominence to the tiny simulated bolero through match- ing blue fagoting, which also trims the neck and yoke both® front and back.

So nearly here, at least, that it's time for you to be thinking about your Summer wardrobe. We've prepared a book to help you plan for the most colorful fashion pe- | riod of the year. A book that offers the best selection of styles for the sea- | son for the adult, miss, stout and child, and helps the reader to economize. You can save $10 by spending 10 | cents for this book. The edition Is | limited, 8o we suggest that you send | 10 cents in stamps or coin today for | your eopy’ to Fashion Department. Price & book, 10 cents. i Fresh vege- | boiled should be kept so that it can form the liquid necessary to moisten whatever vegetable is to be reheated. Cover the container and allow the vege- table to get piping hot. It will taste as good as the first day. These vege- tables can be combined to warm over, but the directions for each are pre- | pared separately. When green corn time comes, and one has more ears than can be eaten | for the first dinner, cook all immedi- | ately. Be sure to put them in boiling | hot ‘water. When the water boils again cook for five minutes, no longer, before taking out if you would have it sweet corn as well as green corn. The sec- ond day plunge any remaining ears into boiling water and allow the ker- | nels to heat through, mo more than | this. It will take about three minutes. | This is often a nicer way to serve the corn than cutting the kernels off the cob and heating in milk with butter | and seasoning. There are scores of ways to use a second day's porticn of potatoes. Any reader wishing recipes will please send ! a line to me (no coins or stamps) di- | | rected to this paper, and, if enough requests come in, I will give some ways of preparing tasty dishes from left-over potatoes. Fashions of Today BY MARIE SHALMAR. Accessories. Once fashion had decided to wear cottons she was content with no half- way measures. First there were the organdie evening dresses, informal, pic- turesque and youthful. We saw them, possibly wore them, last Summer. They gained favor at the Southern resorts last Winter Other sheer cottons joined the ranks—cotton lace, embroidered batiste, point d'esprit, dotted Swiss, until now the cotton evening dress is ac- |~ cepted even for formal occasions. Cot- tons were introduced into the daytime wardrobe by way of blouses to wear with jacket suiis. They were crisp and youthful and women liked them because they Wwere not expensive. And so cottons had their start, until now they appear where they please without apologies. ‘There are cotton shoes, ideal for warm Summer days, and cotton gloves that are not just poor substitutes for kid or doeskin gloves. They are made of chamois finish fabrics or of pique. You may buy a cotton - plque scarf with a cotton flower to match. There are accessory sets con- sisting of belt and bag of colored ging- ham. And in some of the shops you may buy scarfs of gingham to wear with your wool jersey sport suit. The most interesting artificial flowers are of the cotton sort, hyacinths of organdy, gardenias of bique, roses of starched muslin, daisies of embroidered batiste, violets of lawn and buttercups of dotted swiss. Sometimes these flowers are white, but just as often they are of color and they are used as buttonhole ornaments with the street | dress or suit or as shoulder or belt bouguets with the Summer evening | dress. | Here and there one of the new cotton evening dresses is cut with an extremely low decolletage but usually the line at neck and shoulders is of modest_sort. Capelets, kerchief collars and fichus lend themselves to the sheer | cottons and are especially appropriate for Summer evening dresses that must usually be put on by daylight. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. | The Small Worries. Most persons worry at times over small | things. Some do so all the time. To | the person who worries only about big | things, this small-worry habit seems about the silliest mental occupation on earth. But is it silly? Is it useless? Is it |insignificant? Think twice. There are | pretty likely to be good and sufficient | reasons for every mental fact One of the most useful of all the | mental mechanisms is that by which | the psychological being covers up his | troubles. When you worry over trifles | you are pretty likely to be worrying over a lot of things that are by no means small and insignificant. You don't like to face the big worries, so you pick out | the least important. By worrying over the small ones you keep the big ones from taking up your time and temper. | The big worries for which the small | are_substituted not only deceive your | neighbors, but they often deceive you. | You may put the real reasons for worry so far in the background that you for- get all about them. This method of | forgetting big worries may make you hysterical, but still you have invented | an escape. (Copyright, 1931.) DAILY DIET RECIPE MILK AND CHEESE. Milk, 3 cups. Butter, 1, tablespoons.

Tllustrations by Mary Foley. XX. THE MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE. Epilachna Corrupta. HE bean family has a most de- termined enemy—Mrs. Mexican Bean Beetle, who was first dis- covered in Alabama in 1920. Since then they have traveled at the rate of about 150 miles a year. | They are strong flyers and wind helps to carry them about. In the Fail hundreds of grown-up beetles hide on a well drained hiliside under the pine needles or the oak leaves. They have different dates for 27 e "‘[ appearing in various localities. Some of the beetles are on the spot the minute the blossoms come and, others wait until the small bean pods begin to form. | ‘The adults climb up under the leaf and eat away the sunface, cutting through and giving the leaf a lace- | work appearance. Later they eat any | part of the bean plant. After 10 d | of feeding the mother lays from 40 to 60 eggs on the lower surface of the leaf. In 10 days or more the | orange-yellow eggs hatch into little orange-colored bables, about one- twentieth of an inch long and fuzzy looking. ‘They grow quickly and change their coats, and when full grown are one-third of an inch long. | Now it fastens itself to the under sur- face of the plant on which it was born and becomes shorter and changes into another stage (pupa). When the beetle comes from this resting time it is light-lemon colored and does not show the spots on the wings which later appear. At the age of one week the beetle is copper-colored and has 16 spots on his back. In warm weather, under favorable conditions, it takes 33 days from egg to adult. The mother is two weeks old when she marries. Some of them lay as many as 1,669 eggs in one season, but the average is 459. There are a few insects that feed on the eggs and also consume the grown beetle. The spotted ladybird is one of them and the anchor bug another. The spined soldier bug eats young and old alike with great gusto. These willing assistants are not numerous enough to be of real help and so we shoot them—with & spray gun. (Copyright, 1931.)

I am even jealous l?:cl::: he is not jealous of me. I am so jealous of him that I cannot bear to have him go up town alone for fear he might see some girl he used to know, and so I tag along whenever it is possible. When he goes to a lodge meeting I m along and wait outside so that I am sure he doesn't go anywhere else. I am even jealous of an old woman friend who is (54 enough to be his mother. How can I cure myself of my jealousy? A WII ANSWER—The only cure for jealousy is to use some common sense and that is a commodity that the jealous never seem to possess. ‘They are’ so green-eyed they can't see anything straight. However, you might use a little reason in dealing with the situation and reflect that if your husband had not preferred you to the other girls he knew would not have married you. Also, that since he pays no attention to any other woman, he still does not regret his choice. You know jealousy is really an expression of an inferlority complex. ntha);u“ that you believe yourself less attractive and less deslinble tpheln other women. YOU MIGHT also reflect on what an insult you offer your husband in being jealous of him. It tells him more plainly than any words that you have no faith in his honor or decency and that you suspect him of committing all the crimes that your mind conjures up. But of one thing I warn you, and that is that you are takin; e surest and quickest way to kill your husband’s love ll;lod turn him ‘!r':l"n yourself to some other woman, for no man will stand being spled on and watched and not being allowed to go out of the house without his wife trailing him to see where he goes. I don't blame any man for leaving a jealous wife. e DOROTHY DIX, EAR MISS DIX-—When I read storles and columns by great writers I feel I will never be satisfied unless some day I can write a good, great book or be a famous columnist.

Try Kleenex just once, and the old-time hand- kerchief will seem im- possible. Kleenex comes in smart, modern boxes, at 25c, 50c and $1. At drug, dry goods and department stores. Bacteriological Tests Show: 1. That handkerchiefs used by persons having colds may contain as many as 4,170,000 bacteria per handkerchief. 2. That organisms representative of those ‘associated with colds, when impregnated upon linen and rinséd in boiling water and soap water, were not killed nor ap- preciably inhibited from growing. ANY people began using Kleenex on the advise of doc- tors. Others, because their own feelings re- wvolted at the use of a damp and soiled hand- kerchief. Kleenex is a delicate tissue, so low in cost that you discard it after a single use. No used handkerchief touches your face, to expose your nose and throat to germs and possibly disease. You select each time a new tissue—ex- quisitely clean, fresh —and softer than old linen. ‘Theuse of Kleenexdoesaway with unpleasant handkerchief washing. It is a great saving of money where washing is done commercially.
