WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Work and Study After Graduation BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The season for school and college graduations is here. Those who are leaving these institutions of learning' behind them as they turn to face the world of actualities rather than theories will find hitherto unknown problems THE READING AND STUDY CAN- NOT STOP IF THE GRADUATE WOULD BE A WELL ROUNDED PERSON. and perplexities. But they will also find vast new interests. Those who, previous to graduation, have decided Just what they intend to do, are fortu- nate. Their occupations, or “careers,” are no longer sources of bewildering meditation. While it is a mistake for parents to force their children into uncon-| genial work, if no decision is reached within a reasonable time, this may happen. So ‘the young folk should be made to realize that time is precious and decisions important. _Indecision is a barrier to success. It is well, therefore, to set a time limit for de- termining an occupation. While this is an era when college education is featured, the youths who are obliged to forego these higher in- stitutes are not always unfortunate. ‘While they do not have college ad- vantages, they do have the benefit of gtarting work years in advance of the others. They are getting practical experi- ence which is invaluable. Parents who lament the fact that their young folk cannot go to college can find in this thought. Also they ean help MENU FOR A DAY.

SCRAMBLED EGGS: Use six eggs, one tablespoonful butter, three tablespoonfuls milk, salt and pepper to taste. Heat butter and milk in omelet pan. Break eggs in pan and stir until mixture thickens. Serve hot. LEMON COOKIES, Cream one-half cupful butter with one cupful sugar, add the juice and grated rind of one-half a lemon and one tablespoonful milk. Sift two scant cupfuls flour with one-half teaspoonful soda and add to the first mixture alternately, with two well beaten eggs. Use enough more flour to handle dough lightly, but cookies are best if made quite soft. Roll out into a square or oblong sheet, cut into strips with a sharp knife and bake in a moderate oven, or use a round cutter as usual, but the other method is quicker and more economical. CHERRY PIE. Use fresh cherries if possible, wash and pit them and let stand one-half hour or longer in cool place to drain the juice. Line & good-sized ple plate with flaky crust, take one heaping teaspoon- ful flour and one or two table- spoonfuls sugar, using own judg- ent as to the amount of sugar, whether cherries are sweet or sour. Mix flour and sugar with the fingers in the bottom of lined ple plate. * Put in _cherries, drained well of juice. Take an- other tablespoonful flour and put over them, more if cherries are very juicy. Put about one cupful sugar on and mix with the fin- gers lightly, so as not to mash cherries, Dot with butter and put on top crust, wetting lower crust well so it will stick. Bake in a slow oven. Use the cherry juice for pink lemonade or sauce.

Berries Eaten Fresh. ‘There have been country women who never allowed their children to satigfy | their craving for fresh, ripe fruit and berries in Summer—because of their | irrepressible desire to make canned goods and preserves and jellies out of the best the orchards and berry patches had to give. If those women ever did give any one & really first-rate peach or a dish of luscious berl'l&ndoneh.l:lt that they fiid it grudgingly and t! one was guilty of having robbed the preserve Kkettle. The old admonition is to eat what you can and what you can't, you can. That is the sensible procedure, but these women put it the other way round. Can and what isn't fit to be canned, eat. I think most people feel that good, fresh, julcy fruit and berries are about twice as good as the best jam or pre- serves and they are considerably more ‘wholesome. We realize the value of un- cooked, fresh fruit in the diet and fruit that has not been oversweetened as it has to be when we make it into jellies, jams and preserves. Besides, the dish of fresh, ripe fruit is considerably less trouble to get ready than the same amount of frult made into some sort of preserves.

BULOW, South Dakota's wise-cracking and witty new Sen- ator, came to the Capital not so long ago to look things over.

Senators and Senate attaches gathered around him, | joshed him about his hat, seemed eager to get a sample of his much-advertised humnor, “What shall we call youd” some one in the group asked. “Do you prefer ‘governor.’ ‘Senator,’ or what?” Bulow thought for & moment, then ‘Well, I've [’ e Ly s fer with just plain ‘Bill’ It's all right with me for you boys to keep it up.” ‘The Senator will find when he gets | to know the Senate better that it is common _practice for members of that body to address each other off the floor in intimate fashion. ‘The youthful Bob La Follette of Wis- consin,” for example, frequently greets Borah of Idaho, 30 years senior, with | & “Hello, Bill,"” and gets a “Hello, Bob,” in reply.

However, -mn'flu at intimacy rarely g0 further than the mere shortening of first names. Nicknames for Senators, at one time popular, rarely are heard now. Probably the nearest to a nickname any Senator has is that of Tydings of Maryland. His friend Hawes of Mis- souri calls him “Glad” Tydings, but few others do. Others are sometimes referred to in glamorous terms, but rarely.

Reed of Missourl, because of his like- ness to Jullus Caesar, was frequently as “Caesar” by intimates.

Both, however, are ‘benefited by the facial treatment that I am describing for you today. While a single treatment of this sort is often decidedly helpful, a series of one a week for a month or two will bring more lasting results. The skin that seems olly in some places and dry in others will respond to one or two such facials. Begin the treatment by wrapping & cloth around the hair to protect it. Cleanse the skin with cleansing cream or oll and then wipé off the excess. Next take a pad of clean absorbent cof ton and spread about a half a tea- spoonful of cold cream on it. Dip the pad in a little cornmeal and rub this gently over the face, zivlnfl particular attention to the dry, scaly places which are usually most noticeable on the sides of the chin, nose and forehead. Wipe off with a fresh pad of cotton moist- ened with tepid water. A massage with tissue cream follows. Apply the cream on face and neck, and then go over the skin with an upward patting massage. A patter may be used for this purpose or use the fingers. A simple homemade patter may be constructed of a large velour powder puff stuffed with cotton and mounted firmly on the end of a flexible stick or whalebone. | A warm oil' treatment is the next My Neighbor Says: Slices of brick ice cream served on angel food cake make a de- licious dessert for a Summer Iluncheon. It is not generally known that wringing out a cloth in hot water, and wiping the furniture before putting on furniture cream will result in a very high polish that will not show finger marks, Fruit that is eaten raw should be ripe and clean.

The oll used in this treat- ment is a mixture of 3 ounces oil of sweet almonds, 2 ounces sweet oll, 11 ounces cologne water, 3 dram tincture of benzoin and % dram ofl of rose geranium.

It is necessary, however, to be on the watch for signs of scaliness after exposure to hot sun and winds. Motoring in open cars is particularly hard on dry, sensi- tive complexions, and when such trips are to be taken, one must be sure to use an oily powder base and a face powder that clings. The oll treatment will be found soothing after such exposure. Tomato Relish. Select one small, firm tomato for each person to be served. Cut a st half an inch in width for a handle, about half way down the veut.r . the smooth flat side, then cut cro=swis, on both sides to the handle. Scoop out the pulp in four sections and remove also the pulp under the handle. Fill one section with cooked egg white sprinkled with caviar, another section with' riced egg yolk, a third section with hard-cooked egg white chopped and the fourth section with crab meat. Serve on crisp yellow lettuce leaves. WHAT IS ALL THIS TALK ABOUT Milk and Double-chins? TODAY women ‘are staying trim and healthy . . . and are drinking milk three times a day.
