Satin and velvet are rivals for favor n evening clothes—fabrics both rich in tradition. There are new rough, spongy NANCY PAGE Traditional Thanksgiving Dinners Are Best. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Lois knew that a few years ago there had been a tendency to put frills on holiday dinners. The old, traditional dishes and menus were discarded for something that hostesses thought was emarter or newer. But the plan did not work very well. le felt cheated if they did not have ed potatoes, mashed turnips, cole- cranberry jelly or sauce and ing lpw'he ‘woman she decided to her Thanksgiving menu around old favorites. Accordingly her menu read something Mke this: ’0!"& Roast Chicken Mashed Potatoes Candied Sweet Potatoes Peach Pickles pkin Coffee She planned to use her white dam- ask cloth. For a centerpiece she ar- flendldeg"miu icn 'l“?rcuuluul bowl—a we of three years ago. She hmnhvm and did not use place cards. Her dinner was in every sense of the word a family one.

Beat the eggs slightly, just enough to mix yolks and whites, then add hot water and seasoning. Put the butter in a small hot {rying pan and when melted turn mixture into the pan. ‘While this is cooking mix slightly with & fork until the whole is of a creamy consistency. Place on a hotter part of the fire and allow to brown quickly underneath. Bring all together at one side of the pan and carefully slip it out on & hot platter. Garnish and serve while hot. CHEESE SANDWICHES. ‘Three green peppers, with seeds and white pith removed. Put them through a food chopper with one-half pound good cheese. Season to taste and mix well. ‘The juice from the peppers will moisten the cheese sufficiently for it to spread easily. Have the bread cut thicker than usual for sandwiches, Spread a slice of bread with a thick layer of the paste and cover with another slice. Press together firmly and toast, Serve while hot. LETTUCE SALAD. Arrange a head of lettuce as you like and boll three eggs hard. Take two of the eggs, mash them as fine as you can with a fork and mix with the mashed eggs a scant teaspoonful ground mus- tard, two tablespoonfuls sweet cream, salt and black pepper to suit taste, one-half cupful vine- gar, tablesboonful butter or salad m take the third egg, l;ll_lll:e g-m: arrange as a garnish. Just about five minutes before serving pour over it the dressing.

Corduroy is an old-time favorite that has come back into fashion. It is now, as formerly, & cotton velvet with ridges or cords—a compartively inexpensive material with unusual durability. Even during the years when dressmakers ig- nored it, it was used for practical chil- dren’s clothes and the more serviceable sort of sports clothes, but this season it has been given a place of real dis- tinction by smart dressmakers. It is a great favorite on the college campus, for it makes a smart, wear- able knockabout dress that girls appre- ciate, It doesn't wrinkle and it sheds dust easily and it has enough body to stand up under really hard wear. Jacket dresses of this fabric are es- | pecially sma DAILY DIET RECIPE STUFFED CELERY RINGS. Large celery stalks, 4. Cream cheese, 2 packages. Finely minced onion, 1 table- spoonful.

Anywhere but Home. About 10 years ago I had a stenog- rapher who was so eager to travel that her job became unbearable to her. She had no money at all. She had never been out of New York. Being 22 vears old, she felt age creeping on her and thought that if she did not see America at once she would be too senile and crip- pled ever to see it at all. So she quit her job. Her best friend did the same. And the two 1s took & train to Albany, only three ours away, but on the road to the Pacific. There the] and set out to look for a job. Being expert stenographers, they got work at once as substitutes. They worked two weeks and earned enough to get to Buffalo. In Buffalo they repeated the program. Each time they'd work a few weeks, take a couple of days to see the town and then go on. Thus they worked all the way to California. They found Helen Woodward. California so different from the rest of | the country that they stayed there six months, working all over the State. By that time they were thoroughly tired out and the thought of working their way back again in the same manner filled them with dread. So they saved enough money to come back on the train. Some nights they sat up all night and other nights they slept two in a berth. They arrived in New York triumphant, if tired. Then they began to lay plans for going to Paris. That didn't work so well. In the trip-across to California they had little competition, but there were thousands of girls eager to work for almost nothing in order to live in Paris. They had to give that uj got a cheap room | of them finally got a place on a fashion magazine and rose to such a good job that her firm sent her abroad to get fashion news. | ‘The other one took & job on a trans- | atlantic liner. the chance but considerably dismayed to find that in order to get the job she had to sign a contract agreeing to stay in it a year. The steamship companies are fed up with girls who are willing to work for one trip. America you should know at least one other language besides Englisp. There | are exceptions, of course. I know a girl who got a job reviewing French plays without knowing a word of French. There are several English newspapers in Paris. American girls and boys fight for jobs on them at small pay because of the fun they get. Well, this American girl got such a job. She had just arrived and with fantastic idiocy the editors sent her to review French plays, though she couldn’t un- derstand one word spoken from the stage. ‘Sometimes she took me along. I had just arrived, and while I could read French, I couldn’t understand much of it when spoken. The com- bined results of our ignorance must have been a treat to the theater managers. In a sensible world, traveling would be part of every schoolgirl's training. And she wouldn't pay for it out of her | father’s pocket. But as it is, working girls have to grab their voyaging where they can. | It my former secretary’s scheme ap- | peals to you, you can try it some time. | But don't do” it now. ‘Times are too bad.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Clearing Nasal Chambers. ‘The common practice of blowing the pose in a double-barreled fashion is harmful, for it tends to inflate the eu- stachian tubes, which connect the rear of the nasal passage with the ear cav- ity just inside the eardrum, a pea-sized space in the temporal bone where the famous hammer, anvil and stirrup are housed. Frequent blowing of both sides of the nose at once, with a handker- chief and perhaps preliminary pinch- ing of the nostrils, not only blows air under pressure into the ear cavity, or into the eustachian tube, but is likely to drive infective material from the nasal passages up into the tube, or ear cavity, and set up inflammation there. ‘This is particularly liable to happen wl}:xen there is an acute coryza, or rhi- nitis. The rght wey to blow the nose is simpler and easier. Only trouble is the right way is less noisy, and some folks confuse sneezing and blowing the nose in respect to the reverberations associated. It is not bad hygiene when vou sneeze to sneeze heartily and with plenty of sound; it is bad hygiene to suppress a sneeze. When you sneeze make it good and hearty. "'When you blow your nose blow one side at a time and that done well. That is, close one nostril by pressure of the thumb while you are clearing out the opposite nostril. N Wo In Eogland some physicians have found that snuff! & pinch of powdered soap, plain totlet soap, just as a snuff user would take snuff, is a good practice to clear the nasal pas- sages each morning. In some schools all children with adenoids or enlarged tonsils are regularly put through a morning nose clearing exercise, with the aid of a snuff of soap powder. Numerous readets of this ocolumn assure me that they have obtained great benefit from snuffing once or twice daily a small pinch of boric acld powder, particularly in cases of chronic rhinitis and perhaps in some cases of chronic sinusitis, where there is :fluunll{' more Mblnflm:cclusbr;u:( nasal es by boggy swelling and thick mm I do not ¥ieve this snuffing of boric acid is harmful. Some %eopb snuff salt water into the nose. This is objectionable. In some cases it may be helpful to irrigate the nasal passages with luke warm weak sale water (round teaspoonfuls to the pint), letting the solution run in one nostril from & blunt nozzle and syringe or reservoir hung not more than a foot above the head, and out through the opposite nostril which it does with- out entering the throat when the patient learns to hold the throat in the position for pronouncing ‘“k.” This irrigation is often of great value in the treatment of serious nasal and at infections in infants.
