WOMEN Fads, Connoisseur Cheese as ’S FEATURES. Selects Means of Giving Food Variety| Special Attention Des erved Because of Ris- ing Meat Prices—Cheese Board for Buffet Meal, BY BETSY CASWELL. HE great variety of domestic and imported cheeses at pres- ent on the market in Wash- ington provides the alert housewife with the opportu- nity for many new ‘“taste sensa- tions.” Especially just now, with the rise in meat prices, it is well to try out the different cheeses for your- self and your family, and thus make many ex- cursions into new realms of flavor and epicurean delight. Some you may not like at all —others you will discover ex- actly to your taste—in either event, you will have added variety and spice to the every- day meals. [ Gourmets have always laid just as much stress on the choice of cheese as they have on the choice of wines, and by intelligent study of the prob- lem, you yourself may become a true connoisseur along these lines. There are, of course, an infinite number of crackers and biscuits, which are suitable accompaniments for most of the cheeses, but person- ally, I like the old-time complement of French bread and sweet, fresh butter. There is no conflicting flavor to spoil the true effect of the cheese, and the crusty bread supplies the perfect balance Fx ko A WHOLLY satisfying and delicious luncheon could be composed of bread, butter and cheese, and a crisp, Springlike green salad, followed by a compote of fresh fruit. And, speaking of fruit—did you know that & juicy apple or pear makes a won- derful foil for Camembert cheese? Slice and peel the fruit in quarters, put @ dab of cheese on each quarter —and there you have something new end piquant to eat! No buffet supper can be really com- plete without a well equipped cheese board from which the guests may help themselves. A large board is a good investment, giving plenty of room for a variety of cheeses, and the loaf of bread and dish of butter- curls as well. Nearby you might place a dish of crisp. iced radishes, cut into rosettes;. also a few peeled Spring onions, for those more daring individuals. Radishes and Spring onions are a traditional accompani- ment to cheese abroad, but are not seen used so much in this country. ‘There is something about their crisp “bite” Betsy Caswell.

This is yellow, smooth, round, of creamy consistency, with a black outer surface. Philadelphia Cream Cheese has long been a time- honored stgndby, and the domestic orange-colo Pineapple cheeses are equally famous. There are dozens of American imi- tations of well known imported cheeses, such as Camembert, Gruyere, Swiss, etc, and a great variety of prepared “cheese spreads” and pastes. These are all good, and one or two may always be included on the cheese board.

A Weadlth of Intei’esting Variety for the Cheese Board My Neighbor Says: When planting seeds indoors, have flats in which they are to be planted not more than 4 inches deep. if you wish to have the best results. Never wear rings, except plain bands, when washing fine laces, silks, etc. Rings may catch in fabrics and tear them. To remove print from flour sacks, rub print with lard and let stand overnight. In the morning boil in water with soap in it, then rub until print has all disap- peared. Fill crevices in floors with putty and smooth off with a knife. Do this three or four days before putting finish on floors. A little vinegar poured into a saucepan in which onions have been fried will remove the odor of onions from the pan. (Copyright. 1935.) Jealousy In Child Is Instinctive If He Is Shown That His Turn Will Come, He Will Learn. BY ANGELO PATRL ITTLE children live in the present minute. lies in the o e ow. I wanW¥ the only time R about. This is to be considered when chil- dren are jealous of each other. When father takes one child on his knee the other feels “queer.” He does not know that father will take him on his knee by and by, maybe this after- noon, maybe tomorrow night, his turn will come. All he knows about it is that he feels unhappy, and feeling that way, wants to hurt the one who caused his pain. This is not exactly the time for a grown-up person to be facetious and to say, “Well, old man, I see your nose is out of joint.” That is need- less cruelty. All cruelty to children is needless, but this gratuitous in- jury is unpardonable. Children suf- fer enough. The least we can do is to try to cushion their falls and salve their wounds with affectionate, com- forting care. Smile at the one who has to wait his turn, pat him on the back as you go by, either by saying something cheery and encouraging or by giving him a hug and a kiss, just to show him he is cherished. That is all the child-heart needs to ease its burden. Jealousy is instinctive. It must be trained out by experiences. Telling a child about his fault won't cure him. Neither will preaching cure the aching in his breast. Show him he is loved. Show him that his turn comes. And teach him to make his own place in the world by serving other people and so winning thein affection and regard. The giver strengthens his own soul. By giving himself in service he becomes a tower of strength for others and a force within himself. The self-reliant child, the child who is certain of his place in the household, is not jealous. The weak, dependent, uncertain child is always jealous. Teach the children to wait their turns, and make sure their turns come with sure regularity. Teach them to help each other. That is easier than it sounds, because a child in- stinctively turns to help his neighbor child.. He would much rather tie his neighbor’s shoe laces than his own, because of the feeling of superior power the service gives him. Develop that notion so the child becomes sure and self-helpful and jealousy will not bother him so much. Do nothing to make a child feel jealous. Don’t praise his brothers and sisters and relatives so as to make him feel inferior to them. Praise each for the good he does, make each feel his'particular place is secure, and this annoying condition will be less- ened. Teach the children to take turns in ‘enjoying whatever delights that are offered, and be sure they get s ahln (Wrap coins securely in paper.) Ly their turns. Make the present minute count for them, because it is the only time they know. A BY LOIS LEEDS. EAR MISS LEEDS—I am 16 | years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall | and I weigh 130 pounds.

MOTHERS are increasingly better informed about the natural causes of that eczematous rash by which well and healthy babies indicate their in- tolerance for some external or internal element. Obviously, the many, many causes of eczema, or asthma, or any of the allergic ailments cannot be touched upon in so short a space. : pgbr today it seems expedient to stress that one of the foremost causes of eczema is nothing more terrifying than just overfeeding. The baby who has a formula composed of very rich milk, the baby whose mother is a bounteous provider, and who, under the influence of his rich and generous fare, rounds out like a blown-up bal- loon—that baby quite frequently de- velops a mild eczema. 'fl‘:: mild rash becomes a distressing and growing disfigurement because of baby's fenzied efforts to scratch it. The pustules are ruptured by baby’s dig- ging fingers and the clear liquid spreads, dries and crusts. The further itching tantalization of this scab in- spires more scratching. This is the usual history of the rash. There are periods, even if the mother does nothing to alter the diet, when the rash tends to heal. These are natural cycles. The offending and burdensome diet brings about a tem- porary immunity and baby does not Teact to it. These quiescent periods convince the mother that she is on the scent of a cure, Whatever external agent she may have used to heal the rash is given credjt for this cure. The im- provement is usually short-lived. The period of immunity ceases and there is another cycle characterized by rash, scratching, crusting. .So it goes over and over until some beneficial change is made in the diet. ‘When the baby is gaining at a pro- digious rate and a rash is present some of the following methods may be used to lessen the digestive burden. Fewer meals may be given. Cream should be skimmed from the milk used in mak- ing the formula. Nursing mothers should take more strenuous exercise, eat less rich and fatty foods and nurse Interesting Coiffure Arrangement Chosen Makes Defects in Features Less Noticeable. If they are not very cgnspicuous I would advise you to leave them alone, There are freckle creams and lotions sold in the shops that would help lighten tge blemishes if they are too dark. A Tew freckles can look rather attractive on a ycung girl, but black- heads are unbecoming to every one. You must wash your face twice daily with warm water and soap, using a complexion brush. Rinse, press out the ripe blackheads, lather again, rinse in clean warm water and finish with a number of cold rinses. If you use make-up, be sure to avoid renewing it during the day without first cleansing your skin well. Superfluous Facial Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: What is the cause of hairs growing on a girl's face? T've just noticed some recently on my face and it is getting to be notice- able, especially near the mouth. I've used a little peroxide and ammonia | several times, but this seemed to make the growth worse. cause these hairs? I do not use cream very often. ‘WORRIED. Answer—Every one has a fine down of hairs on the face. Naturally, they are more conspicuous on brunettes than on blondes.

It is possible, ofgourse, to remove the hairs from tin with chemical or, or on J35 meeDs! 1935 Lacy Line& In Sweater And’ Bootee 'HE bootees, made of a soft white yarn and knitted witha lacy top pattern, had elicited so much favor- able comment that Nnns:y decided she would make a Sweater with the same lacy border. She was using white yarn of the softest variety. She had chosen balls of luster wool. Her needles were No. 3, in bone. This sweater opens on the shoulder and is buttoned with two sets of the softest of buttons. At first Nancy had planned to use round bone buttons, but then she re- membered that a baby squirms and turns and squirms again. The hard buttons would surely be uncomfort- able. The plain yoke is ornamented with a few flowers worked in lazy daisy stitch and a little bullion stitch. These may be omitted, of course, or they may be left unworked until the gift is about to be given. Then the color may be chosen appropriately. Nancy knew that blue was supposed to be for girls and pink for boys, but that always seemed contrary to the ac- cepted practice. Her own choice was yellow. She liked the sunshiny yellow on the soft ivory white of the yarn. After Nancy finished a piece of yarn work, whether it was in knitting or crochet, she gave it a finished look by sizing it. This word, when used with yarn work, does not mean the same thing as when applied to rugs. Sizing a rug means that the back of it is washed with a thin solution of glue or paste to give it body and firmness. Sizing in yarn work means shaping it to the required size. In so doing the work is steamed slightly. That gives & smooth, finished look to the garment. The finished work is put on an froning board. It is then pinned to correct shape and size. A damp cloth is laid over it and a hot iron is passed above the damp cloth to form steam. ‘Then the garment is left on the board until the damp cloth has dried. Or a damp cloth may be laid over the gar- ment and left there until dry. In no event is the garment actually pressed by the hot iron. (Copyright. 1935.)

Failure to keep this in mind often results in disappoint- ment. It is true that potted roses may be purchased at any time in the Spring, but dormant roses— that is, those planted before they begin to grow—give far better re- sults. It is very difficult to give satisfactory advice about the va- rieties of roses to order, because tastes differ greatly. It is per- haps fair, however, to point out that the newest roses are not nec- essarily the best. Every connois- seur buys the newer kinds as a matter of course. but the average amateur with only a small garden will be wiser to use a large pro- portion of those varieties which have been tested for many years, with a few of the newer kinds on trial.

This amount of money, expended carefully with wise thought for meal combination, is lib- eral. We, however, dined so well on the regular mess menu that we asked to be invited again.

EAR MISS DIX—What can a grandmother do when she | sees two fine and lovable | grandchildren being utterly rumned in their rearing? These children are never made to obey or to treat their parents or any | one else with even common politeness. No restraints whatever are laid upon them. Are the young parents of today too lazy to put themselves out a little to rear their children properly? I thank Heaven daily that I don’t have | to live in the house with these chil- | dren, much as I love them. PERPLEXED. Answer: There is nothing that you | can do in the matter, because if par- ! ents have not enough sens¥ of re- sponsibility to rear their children properly, no one can substitute for them or undo the harm that they have done. No one can interfere {until the hard hand of the law gives the children the discipline and teaches them the obedience that their fathers and mothers should have inculcated in them in the cradle. THERE are three reasons why peo- ple spoil children. One is when they are so foolishly fond of their | | offspring that they cannot see any | fault in them, and cannot bear to| | cross them in anything they wish to do, or deny them anything they want, | no matter even if they know that it will be to the children’s injury. Another reason is that they are lazy and don't want to take the | trouble to make a child behave. It| | is easier to let little Johnny eat with his knife and smear food all over his face than it is to teach him table etiquette. It is easier to let little Mary grunt when she is spoken to | 1lhan it is to drill good manners into | | her, s0 they take the line of least ‘reslsv.ance and let their children grow up into boors. NOTHER reason is that they| haven't the courage to stand up and fight self-willed youngsters who | are determined to have their own way. | | It takes a battle royal to make Sam submit to authority and Sally give up anything she has set her heart on, |50 parents let Sam and Sally defy them and do as they please because they lack the nerve to struggle with | them. But whatever the reason that par- ents spoil children, they commit against them the unpardonable sin | because they wreck their lives in the very beginning. It seems a cruel thing to say, but it is nothing less | than the solemn, awful truth that al- | most every man or woman who is a “lauure in the world, almost every [cflmlnal. almost every unhappy man or woman is the result of some mother’s spoiling. | | 'OR who are the failures but the men and women who have never | | been disciplined, the men and women | | who were never taught to do anything | they didn’t want to do or to stick to | anything longer than it amused them, the men and women who threw up | their hands and quit whenever the | sledding got hard? | = Who are those whose marriages are failures?

AND AFTER TWO SWELL CUPS OF COFFEE,TO0, | 13, cup men and women who were brought up to be selfish and to take the best of everything without considering any one else? Are they not the men and women who rush to the divorce court as soon as their desires and pleasures clash? Are they not the men and women who have never been taught to take life on the chin and come up smiling after every knockout? 'HO are the drunkards except the men and women who have never been taught to control their appetites, who were permitted as children to gorge themselves on cake and candy until it made them sick? Who are the murderers but the men and wom- en who were never taught any self: control until in some moment ot passion they fired the shot that killed a fellow creature? Who are the thieves but those who have never been taught to deny themseives any- thing they want? The patterns of our lives are set before we are three years old. Our parents determine by the way they rear us just what sort of men and women we are going to make. And it is a cruel and a terrible thing they do to us when they doom us to go through life handicapped by faults that they should have corrected in our infancy. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1935.)
