BY BETSY CASWELL. l EXT Sunday, June 16, is Father's day, and this seems a fitting moment to discuss possible gifts and other sur- prises in store for him. As a matter of fact, the idea of setting one “day” aside on which to | remember each parent does not | particularly ap- peal to me—I feel that mothers and fathers de- serve constant thought and co- operation in daily life, rather than just handing them a gush of sentiment on one day out of 365. However, I sup- pose that there are certain peo- L ple who need prodding in such matters, and per- haps a designated “day” helps them | in the matter of filial attention. In any event. if mother is going to have her “day” full of trumpet and | fanfare, certainly father is definitely entitled to his! Usually he has spent | Mother's day himself offering homage in the form of flowers and going shop- ping with the children to buy their tokens of affection—so it seems only fitting that on his “day,” mother should return the compliment and see that he gets his just due. g 'O BEGIN with, let him have his pet and special breakfast, and just as late as he Jikes.

Most men dislike “junk"—and quality pleases them far more than quantity. They don't want gifts that will clutter up their room—at the same time, they get very bored with the too practical articles. Few men have ever agreed with their wives in the matter of neck- ties and slippers, bathrobes, handker- chiefs and socks have been the gift theme song for so many years that charm. Therefore, try and find something really unusual, that combines origi- nality and practicality, and subtly compliments the recipient's taste in | the matter of hobbies. 1If he is a seri- ous pipe smoker, with a penchant for special shapes and woods, possibly he might be utterly delighted with a wal- with an exceedingly efficient humidor at its very best.

T}Ie Old Gardcner Says : ‘Watering of lawns should be carried on ccrefully in the hot weeks just ahead. Water will be needed, of course, but tnere is a possibility of giving too much water, for the reason that abun- dant moisture in Summer en- courages the growth of crab grass, which is sometimes a oad pest. Nothing but harm follows the common practice of sprinkling the lawn for a short time each evening. It is a practice which stimulates the growth of weeds and tempts the grass r.ots to turn toward the surface instead of burrowing deeply into cool ground. The proper plan is to apply water only at occasional intervals and then to use suffi- cient to soak the ground to a depth of 3 or 4 inches. Tt is well to remember that lawns cut at the height of 1 nck or more will require less water than those mowed more closely. (Gopyright. 1935.) A NN given its name.

EAR MISS BARBER: I have just bought a new | freezer and am going to make my own ice cream this Summer. The chil- dren can turn it and lick the dashers the way I used to when I was a child. Wont you please print some recipes right away?” Turning the ice cream freezer is one job that the children never mind | if they are sure of a definite reward | which comes when the dasher is re- | moved from the can and not too well scraped. There are two kinds of ice cream, known as French and Philadelphia, | both very good. The comparative cost depends on whether eggs or cream can be bought at the lowest | price. Por Prench ice cream a soft | custard is made and chilled before the cream is added. For Philadel- phia ice cream, the sugar, salt and flavoring are merely mixed with the | cream. Don't try to improve your | jce cream by using heavy cream as| it is likely to get buttery when it is | turned. Vanilla is always a favorite. as it | can be varied by the use of different sauces, chocolate. butterscotch or | fruit, to which nuts may be added if you like. If chocolate cream is your choice, heat your chocolate with the milk and beat until smooth and then chill before beginning to freeze. Ground sugared almonds or Brazil nuts make a delicious flavoring—so does ground peppermint candy as well as rolled nut brittle or mac- aroons. If you like a caramel flavor you may caramelize half the sugar. heat your cream, add the caramel to it and stir until dissolved again. In making ice cream, the freezer | should not be turned too fast. Slower turning makes smoother ice cream. Philadelphia Ice Cream. 1 quart thin cream. 1, teaspoon salt. 3, cup sugar. 1 tablespoon vanilla. Mix well and freeze. To freeze— Crush ice fine. A burlap bag and a heavy wooden mallet makes this any easy task. When packing for freezing use 8 parts of ice to 1 part of salt, as this comparatively small amount of salt makes a cream or ice smoother than when more salt is used. After the cream is frozen turn off the water and repack, using 4 parts of ice t0 1 of salt. French Ice Cream. 1 tablespoon flour. 34 cup sugar. V4 teaspoon salt. 1 egg or 2 egg yolks. 2 cups milk. 3 cups thin cream. 115 tablespoons vanilla. Mix flour, sugar and salt, add the egg, slightly beaten, and the milk | gradually. Cook over hot water 20 minutes, stirring constantly at first until it thickens. Cool, add the cream and flavoring and freeze, ac- cording to general direction. Mint Marshmallow Sauce. Melt one-quarter pound marshmal- low with one-quarter cup boiling wa- ter in a double boiler. Stir in cne teaspoon mint flavoring and a little | green coloring. Serve hot or cold over ice cream. e Chocolate Ice Cream. 2% cups milk. 3 squares chocolate. Vs cup water, 6 egg yolks. 1 cup sugar. V4 teaspoon salt. 1 pin} cream. 1 teaspdon vanilla, Scald milk.

Gracious Lines Flatter Afternoon Dress Has Circular Cape and Flounces. BY BARBARA BELL. OFT, rather than frilly is the | fashion dictate for women who | prefer gracious lines to tricky details. It is often more flat- | tering to conceal the lines of the figure by means of capes or draperies, or cleverly manipulated | fuliness, and today's dress achieves this deception effectively. | A circular cape, longer in the back | than in the front, gives a graceful Itfie to the bodice, and the same idea is carried out in the skirt, where a deep flounce is set in with an upward pointing line. The blouse is gathered | on to a plain piece, appearing above the belt, giving an effect of length and slimness. This is a lovely dress | to wear in the afternoons and to con- | tinue wearing through long Summer | evenings. All sorts of sheer materials are used effectively in dresses of this type. | Chiffons, of course, never have been lovelier. Artists and designers should have great paeans of praise sung to them for the beautiful designs which appear in Summer materials. Modest voiles have become transformed into things of beauty in the designer’s hands, and organdies have reached a pinnacle of perfection of weave and color. Newest among prints are those that have single flowers which look as are equally good. Color, too, is a very personal thing.

THERE are a few troublesome ques- tions that arise in dealing with adolescent boys and girls. Mothers ask: “Is it right to give a girl of 18 a latchkey?” “Should a boy of 19 go out evenings without saying where he is going, and stay as long as he likes?” “Ought the boys and girls of the family to use the car?” “Is it right to allow one child to exercise his own judgment and forbid another to do the | same thing?" None of these questions is as simple as it sounds. Each of them is the expression of a complex situation. The background of home and school and character is in the matter. There can be no right and wrong laid down without a careful survey of the entire situation as it concerns the individual child. What kind of boy or girl is this who wants a key? If he has shown him- self responsible, why not let him have who stood at the head of his classes, | |a boy of fine character, responsible | and intelligent, wanted a key so he | could get in at night without awak- society meeting once a week. was 21 The twenty-first birthday holds no special charm against evil. It is more than likely that this father had been | a self-sustaining young men when he | was between 17 and 18. He could have used a latchkey without harm to himself or anybody else during the | four years that preceded his twenty- first year. if he had been given one. It is not the number of birthdays that counts. It is the character of the | young person that is under considera- | | tion. | The girl who wants to go unattended | | to dances should be allowed to do so if she has shown herself the sort of girl who can take care of herself. If she hes never shouldered responsi- | bility, if she has always been taken and put instead of going and placing herself, then she cannot be thrust upon herself suddenly. Teach her, if she is the kind that can be taught, to assume responsibility for her be- havior, and when she shows she can carry it successfully, put her on her own. All these questions have to do with personal responsibility. This does not come suddenly. It is a matter of ex- perience. Too often we make it im- possible for the children to have the experience necessary for them to be responsible for their own conduct. | This training ought to begin early. As soon as a child can do an errand let him do it. As soon as he can do a job let him do it. Let him fare for | himself and by the time he reaches manhood he will be ready. As for the young person who behaves | like an undisciplined child. speeds a car every chance he gets, brings home bad reports from school, shows no discretion in his behavior, no judg- ment in his decisions, he must expect to be treated like the child he is. i Frock to WOMEN’S FEATURES, c-S Feminine Activity Match Beautiful Face Bleaching Arms and Hands Gives Attractive Results.

Exercise will not put fat on the legs, but tends to make thin legs thinner. This does not mean that thin people should avoid exer- | cise, but that they should take easy exercises and avoid fatigue. Build up the muscles in your legs by walking two or three miles a day outdoors. Do a few stretching and kicking move- | ments before you arise in the morning | and again at bedtime. LOIS LEEDS.

Answer—If you wish to get the dye off, there are dye removers on the market adapted to the different types of dyes. Hair dyes do not really bring back the natural shade of the hair once it has turned gray. They either coat the hair with a colored substance, like the dye you refer to, inside the hair shafts and deposit some coloring mat- ter inside. If you use either type of dye (the former includes all the henna dyes also) be careful not to overlap it on the already dyed parts. See advertisements in newspapers and women’s magazines for the addresses of dye manufacturers. As to the harmfulness of hair ‘dyes, that de- pends largely on individual suscepti- bility. Some people may use them for years without ill effect, while others develop rashes and other unpleasant | and even dangerous symptoms. (2). Too bad you did not start your beauty program earlier, but it is never 100 late to mend. It is possible to heep a lovely skin into the middle years. It will take time to improve your com- plexion. Begin with the sallowness. This may be caused by poor general health, lack of sufficient daily exercise to stir up the circulation, and lack of Jocal stimulation of the skin by cor- rect daily cleansing. Take a brisk walk outdoors daily and do some set- ting-up exercises morning and evening to improve your circulation and bring a healthy glow to your skin. Once a day give your body a hard rub-down with a coarse, dry towel after having a cool shower or sponge bath. In the morning rinse your face in cold water for several minutes and dry well. Re- peat the rinsings at noon and before supper. At bedtime use a complexion brush and a mild facial soap with warm water to wash and stimulate the facial skin and also the neck. Pinish with more cold rinsings and blot dry. Pat tissue cream or muscle oil on the dry parts where wrinkles begin, such as between the eyebrows, at the tem- ples and corners of the mouth. Have & well-balanced diet. including plenty of fresh fruits, salads and dairy prod- ucts, such as milk and butter. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright. 1935.) — Russian Pot Roast.
