B—9 Commen THE EVENING ts on Matters of Va <& Rest Habits On Vacation Help Beauty Too Much Energy During First Days Is Common Error. BY LOIS LEEDS. AT sort of vacation are you ‘ going to have this Summer? Beaside, mountain, a trip or just stay at home? Whichever sort of holiday your inclination or your purse may determine for you, you want to get the most out of those precious days away from the daily grind. You do not want to be one of those who bring back from their vacations & whole crop of beauty problems, to- gether with a worse case of that tired feeling than they had before. It takes some careful planning to make your vacation give you the utmost in beauty and health, but it's worth trying. One of the commonest mistakes that vacationists make is to attempt too much at first. They crowd their days from the start with sightseeing, social activities or sports for fear of missing something. No wonder that the end of their holidays finds them exhausted and nervous. It is more sensible to rest for a couple of days before be- ginning the vacation round. Results in Inertia. The very fact of stopping your usual work causes a physical and mental re- action that is characterized by a feel- ing of inertia. Instead of struggling against this tendency, accept it as a wise provision of nature. Give way to it and so allow yourself time to be- come adjusted to what is, after all. a totally different manner of life. Working in an office from 9 to 4 or 5§ o'clock calls for a different set of hab- | its and reactions than any sort of va- cation does. The same applies to any | other occupation to which you may be giving most of your time. Keeping in mind just what you want your vacation to do for you will help you to select the right activities. For instance, if you are underweight and feel below par, a restful vacation will do you more good than a strenu- ous one. Plan to take things easy, sleep nine hours or so at night, choose & nourishing diet and eat slowly. Be outdoors as much as you can, giving your skin and hair the proper pro- tection from sunburn. Have & lazy time and catch up with your reading if you feel s0 inclined. Learn to relax and breathe deeply. If you are much below average weight and cannot gain see a doctor about it. Make each vacation day count toward building up your health and beauty. Beware of Excess. The overweight's vacation may be more strenuous than that of her thin sister, but she, too, should avoid at- tempting too much. Don't plunge into s vigorous program of outdoor sports if you are unused to them. Ex- cess fat accumulates slowly and should be taken off gradually. Too rapid reduction gives the system a shock, makes the figure flabby and the face lined. If you are fat and have only two weeks' vacation, don't expect to return from it with a sylph- | like figure. Be satisfied if the re- ducing process has been started by the establishment of better habits of eating and exercising. A stay-at-home vacation can be Just as refreshing and beneficial as | other kinds. The main thing is to know what you want to accomplish and then do it. Change your habits, take advantage of local recreational opportunities—there are some in every community. Change your coiffure, too; spend more time on physical culture; it will repay you many times. Indulge in some beauty shop treatments. Add a new hobby or cultivate an old one. See the old friends you have been too busy to visit recently. If you can’t take sun baths at seashore, take them at home. Raspberry Jam. 4 cups (2 pounds) prepared fruit. 6%z cups (2% pounds) sugar. 12 bottle fruit pectin. To prepare fruit, crush or grind about two quarts fully ripe berries. ‘Measure sugar and prepared fruit into large kettle, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard one minute. Remove from fire and stir in bottled fruit pectin. Then stir and skim by turns for just five minutes to cool slightly, to pre- vent floating fruit. Pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 10 glasses (six fluid ounces each). Beauty Hint. 1f your skin is extra oily and in- elined to break out during the warm weather try washing it with tar soap every night. Every third night allow the soap to remain on for five minutes.

Find Substitute. BY EMILY POST. EAR MRS, POST: I feel very de- jected about an unexpected change in my wedding plans, which it is too late now tr rectify. 1 am having & maid of honor and I was having two bridesmaids, but one of them had to give out to go to the hos- pital, and since all my other friends know that she was my first choice, I can’t exactly ask any one else. Will the procession look queer with the bridesmald alone foilowing the maid of honor, and after them my little niece whom I promised couid be flower girl? Please suggest something or at least assure me that my wed- ding has not been spoiled? They couldn’t walk together and be told apart, could they? Answer: Of course it will not be spoiled. If your sttendants have not bought their daresses, the answer is simple, since it is not at all urusual for & maid of honcr and an only bridesmaid to dress alike and walk together (they ere told apart be- cause the maid of hcnor stands at your left, holds your bouquet during the ceremony und stands at your right at the reception). On the other hand, I don't know why you can’t ask a substitute bridesmaid. Certainly it is s compliment to be considered the next very best friend! Or perhaps more sensibly you might choose one pho can wear the original brides<i maid’s dress. But if you don't want to ask another and the dresses are bought, it will be best that the maid of honor and bridesmaid walk to- gether, even If their clothes don't match, because & single file procession would be too cunspicuously long and thin, ) Dear Mrs. Post: When a bride has only one attendant, is she called the maid of honor or the bridesmaid. A and B are arguing this question and it’s of no use: each one continues to think she is right. Answer: Correctly she is a maid of honor because she fills that office—but it does not make any great difference what she is called—in fact, she most often is spoken of as the “bride’s only attendant.” Dear Mrs. Post: Is the bridegroom expected to furnish the ties and gloves and boutonnieres for his ushers and best man? What happens if he doesn't feel financially able to? Answer: He really ought to give them ties and boutonnieres. Gloves, however, are not necessary since are worn only at very formal wed- dings. But if he can’t give them in- expensive bow ties that match and a white flower apiece, then obviously, they either agree to furnish their own or wear what ties they have and go without flowers. Which? I don’t know.

IN THE Summer cottage which Lois had rented she found that she needed another bed of some sort. Hunting in a second hand shop in the village she found an old iron bed. The paint was almost all off and the man hesitated to sell it to her. But she assured him it was exactly what she wanted. She got it home and scrubbed it well. Then when she felt she could touch it without wondering who had handled it last she sawed off the head and foot boards or ralls and posts. She sawed these off clear down to the frame. This gave her a cot effect with no head board, no foot board but & steady frame on the low legs. ‘This became & sort of studio couch. And was quite presentable once she moved it into the sitting room of the cottage. She hunted around and found some inexpensive but gay cretonne. She made a plain cover for the couch, putting a box pleat at center front, and center ends. She folded in plenty of material at the corners so that the cover did not draw. Then she used more of the material for the curtains in the room. The pillows which looked Just like the cover and hangings were more useful than they seemed. She zippered the top of each one and inside she tucked the regular feather pillows that were used for sleeping at night. She had wondered where she could get her sewing done, but found that the storekeeper'’s wife had a sewing machine which she rented, on her own premises for & nominal sum to any Summer visitor or cottager. She made quite a bit of money in that way and earned the undying gratitude of the visitors. (Covyrieht, 19882 ¢ Much Summer Comfort Depends on Of Proper Lean-Meated Fish Particularly Good at This Time of Y Digestibility. BY BETSY .CASWELL. IGHT in line with the meat- less main dishes which we discussed at length last week, fish and sea food should re- celve their share of the housewife’s attention. It has been well said that a great deal of Summer comfort depends on eating the proper hot - weather diet, for several reasons. Lean fishes are low in fat, which is, of course, a heat producer, and eat- ing such fish actu- ally tends to keep body fat down. In Summer the cooling mechanism of the body is overworked metaboli- cally, endeavoring to throw off the surplus heat, and the eating of the lean fish glves the system less to do, by preventing the storage of fatty tissue in the body, which is the way nature stores up surplus heat for fu- ture use. Sea food—especially in the leaner type of fish, is easily digested, and there again, aids the general system. Our digestive equipment is apt to be a bit irritable in too hot weather, anyway, and light, easily assimilated foods are better for it than any others. Fish has a splendid food value con- tent, with its protein, mineral salts and jodine. Betsy Caswell. * K X X THE East Coast of the United States has, since the very beginning of the colonies, appreciated the value and flavor of the fish caught in its waters. The West Coast has the same wonderful source of sea food, in its beautiful Pacific—and nowadays, with the efficient transportation methods of our railroads, fresh fish is easily shipped to every town and city on our country’s map. Each region is apt to have its favorite fish, and a special way of preparing it—all truly delicious, and well worth universal adoption. New Orleans is famous for its pompano, Boston for its cod, Charleston for its shrimps and crabs and so on. For| the most part, the recipes are not | difficult to follow, and may easily be adapted for home kitchens here. A the Choice Food in Diet ear Because of | When broiling fish, wipe as dry as possible, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in a well-greased broiler. Broll first on the flesh side, then turn, and broil on the skin side, just long enough to make it brown and erisp. To keep the flesh from clinging to the broiler, loosen the fish on one side, turn, and loosen on the other side. ‘When frying fish, use oll, as it avoids unpleasant fumes. Steaming dry meated fish is a good method of preparation for that par- ticular type, as the flesh remains firm and moist. Save any juice that comes from the fish to use in sauce instead of water. ‘When boiling fish, plunge it first into boiding water to which salt and lemon juice, or vinegar, have been added. After five minutes, add some cold water to reduce the temperature quickly, and then let simmer until the flesh falls away from the bones. FILLETS OF FLOUNDER SUPREME. | ‘Trim slices of cold cooked ham, ;- inch long, in oblong pleces with | rounded corners. Set a thick piece of fillet of flounder on each slice of ham, dust well with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice, and place in paper cases, with turned edges, to prevent loss of juices. Place in a pan, brush cases with melted butter, and bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes. Arrange on hot serving plates without removing cases. Serve with melted parsley butter. BLUEFISH NAPOLL Split and bone a 4-pound bluefish, place on an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add three ta- blespoons white wine, one-half onion, | chopped; one-half can of mushrooms, with their liquor. Put in a little wa- ter, for basting purposes, and bake for three quarters of an hour in a moder-~ ate oven. Baste five or six times dur- ing the cooking period. Serve with lemon butter. CROAKERS. ‘To six large croakers use one pint | of milk, salt and pepper to taste, and parsley or lemon garnish. Fill a small pan with the milk, add the seasoning and the croakers. Boil the croakers in the milk, remove, and roll in dry, sifted flour. Have ready a frying pan of grease heated just to the boiling point. Drop in the| fish and cook until brown. (The fish should really swim in the grease if possible.) Lift out, arrange on a bed of parsley and serve with lemon or | tartar sauce. THINOE to remember when cooking fish are: | For baked fish, experiments show that cooking the fish quickly in a very hot oven is the best way to retain flavor and food value. | Dorothy Take Husband as Lieu of Divorece. [14 ERHAPS the experience of | one individual is a lamp to guide the feet of an- other,” said a woman to me the other day, “but I often feel that I would like to tell other women | Wwho are wrestling with the problem of the philandering husband and how | I settled it. “I did it by changing his status | from a husband into a star boarder, | and I believe that the results have | been better for him, better for me | and infinitely better for the children | than they would have been had I broken up the home and rushed with my grievances to the divorce court. “Of course, when a wife finds out that her husband is tired of her and that he is having affairs with other women, her first angry impulse is to jam on her hat and leave him. Her heart is torn with jealousy. Her pride humbled. Her sense of justice outraged. She feels that the only thing on earth she wants is to have the tie between them broken as quickly as possible. “Divorce seems the solution of all her woes, for somehow women have a curious faith in the magical powers of a decree absolute. They think that if only they were divorced from their husbands not only would they cease to love the men who have betrayed them, but they themselves would somehow become young girls again, attractive to men. “They simply ignore the fact that divorce is no panacea for the ache in & heart and that a divorcee with s pack of children clinging to her skirts is about the most forlorn crea- ture on earth. Nobody wants her. No man would marry her on & bet, and while her family may ‘poor Mary’ her, they dont want her to come back home to live on them. TR “NOW I'm not arguing the ethics of divorce. If a woman has no children and is capable of support- ing herself, or if she has a private fortune that will take care of her and her children, I see no reason she shouldn’t take the first train to Reno if she so desires. But it is another pair of sléeves when there is no money, no prospect of any- thing but a meager dab of alimony at the best, and when there are chil- dren whose interests sbould be put above their parents. 3 “That was my case when I got tired of forgiving my husband and listening to his lies about this being I had long realized that he was one of the men who are |. | home adequately would be very thin if If you wish advice on your individ- ual household problems, write to Betsy | Caswell, in care of The Star, inclos- | ing stamped, self-addressed envelope for reply. Dix Says Star Boarder in be denied most of the comforts to which they had been accustomed, be- cause the income that supported one spread out over two. Besides, I felt| pretty sure that a divorce would cost my husband his job, as his firm held very strict views on the subject. * % x x “SO MY husband and I telked the matter over like rational human beings and agreed to settle the matter out of court, so to speak. I agreed to renounce all claims upon him as a husband and leave him free to go and come as he pleased, and do as he liked, without any questions or re- proaches on my part. He has his own room. I have mine. And we do not intrude upon each other’s privacy in any way. “He gives me a definite amount of money each month on which to sup- port the family, and I do not ask him what he does with the remainder of | his income any more than I would pry into the finances of any other boarder. There are no more quarrels, soenes, reproaches, because in my own mind my husband has ceased to be my husband and is just a pleasant gentleman who makes his home in my house. And the children are happy and contented instead of being mis- erable and torn to pieces, as they would be between a divided allegiance to a mother and father, both of whom they loved, but who hated each other. “Of course, I have suffered the pangs of disillusionment. I am often lonely and long for love, but so would I like to be a beauty, a genius or a millionaire. These things are not for me, 50 I put them out of my mind and make the best of a bad bargain, and I have been thankful enough in these hard times that I had my star boarder who kept our pot boiling. “So my advice to women with philandering husbands is to take them on as boarders when they cease to be husbands. You can get along with any man when you quit trying to boss him. And the woman who has her home left has salvaged something why | out of the wreck of an unfortunate marriage.” DOROTHY DIX. My Neighbor Says: Cut out old canes in raspberry bushes when they are through fruit. These canes will never bear fruit again. When making pastry use only enough water to hold ingredients together. Mix quickly, roll and handle as little as possible if you wish pastry to be flaky. Cloths saturated with polishing liquids if stored away in a closet often cause spontaneous combus- tion. Keep these cloths in a cov- ered tin container. Lingerie must be tinted occa- sionally to preserve its dainty ap- pearance. A faded blue garment will tint a delicate orchid with the aid of a pink dye, & pale yel- low will shade into a delicate green if dipped in blue dye and a pink dye will change the yellow to a shell pink. Be sure to use amall quantities of the dye for these pastel shades. (Copyright. 1935.) Shopping in Washington Beauty Finds to Aid the Elder ‘Woman.

Tissues may be rejuvenated by scientific raying and electrical treatments. This method proves & most efficient correction for pimples, blackheads, pitted pores, fine lines and minor skin blemishes. These treatments are like a well-regulated sunburn, not unpleasant in the least, and the electric violet ray facials, which should be taken in combination with the more drastic ultra ray treat- ment, give a tingling, glowing sensa- tion all over the body when the electric | current is turned on.

Certain new helps to beauty for home use are appearing on the market constantly. One of these is an egg- shaped complexion brush, with gaily colored back and long, resilient white bristles. It is the latest facial acces- sory for whisking grime, dust and sooty deposits off the skin and out of the pores. It makes ordinary soap and water cleansing more effective, for it helps the soap to saponify quicker, spread more evenly and carries the lather below the skin surface. ok ko THI brush is made with genuine boar bristles, resilient yet firm enough to open pores and remove cellular debris, excess oil, bacteria, blackheads, whiteheads and make-up. The ends of the bristles are rounded 50 there are no jagged points to stab the skin. The brush is shaped to the face (being tapered at one end) for easy manipulation, and it is shaped to the hand for an easy grasp so no undue pressure need be exerted. The white bristles are set in bright plastic backs —tomato red, lemon yellow, a fresh green tone and onyx white. In one movement, the brush com- bines three factors necessary for skin health: (1) it cleanses, (2) it mas- sages, and (3) it stimulates. The use of the brush does not interfere with the use of face creams. For an oily condition the surface oil is removed with cream before using the brush for getting down into the pores.
