WOMEN’S FEATURES, ‘New and Unusual Recipes Lend Themselves to Kitchenette Meals Alert Child Is Inspired By Weather Changes Affect One and Should Lead to Regulation. BY ANGELO PATRL VERY teacher knows that the weather has a lot to do with the success of teaching. Just before a snowstorm we have plenty of trouble. ‘The classes are restless, noisy, inat- tentive, and the teacher is put to it to hold them to any semblance of work. When a thunderstorm is brew- ing the children are tense and nervous. ‘We have to be careful to move serene- 1y and gently and change the program 80 that they can relax as much as possible. Give us a blue sky and a westerly wind, with the white clouds floating along, and the school hums like a well- oiled machine. Every child is alert and alive and working full speed. Rainy days are not good for our work. The children are bedraggled in spirit, their clothes cling to their bod- fes and they are irritable and moody. We have to select bright, snappy songs for the rainy days, bring out the spe- cial readers and the best pictures and put our best foot forward all the way through until the sun comes out again. Weather counts. In the hot days of Summer take | things easy. Don't experiment with children on a hot day or during a hot spell. This is no time to wean a child, for instance. Nor is it a good time to try to break up an old habit and establish a new one. All you will ac- complish will be to make the child i1 and give yourself a headache. Wait until it is cool. Fall is the best time for that sort of thing. Work on his bad habit when the sky is cool and biue. Summer is a good time for the older ehildren to practice what they know pretty well. It is a good time, for in- stance, to play over all the pieces learned during the year and give the family a recital. It is a fine time to practice the stitches learned during the year and make a sweater or cro- chet an Afghan out of the scraps of wool in the waste bag. Children often ask for things to do in warm weather, and it is well to be prepared to offer some practical sug- gestions. One little girl said, “Mother, think of something I can do.” “Oh, there are lots of things you can do. Just start doing them.” “I know there are lots, mother, but I only want one thing to do. You pick one out for me.” Have & bit of knitting started, a bit | of crochet, some patchwork, embroid- ery, for the little girl. For the boy some pictures to be cut and pasted in his scrap book, & bit of wood for his Jig-saw puzzle, & cloth for a sail for his boat. Think ahead and have some- shing ready for the warm, lazy days. Don't try to teach a child something | mew and difficult. The weather, and | the mood it sets in the child’s mind | and body, are against you. Do the old | things in & new way and you will do | more and get better results in terms of health, happiness and growth.

Cook the peaches until soft, re- move the stones and press through a coarse sieve. Add the other ingre- dients and cook until thick, stirring drequently to prevent burning. The Old Gardener Says: Questions have been asked about the propagation of tiger lilies without dividing the bulbs. This is one of the few lilies that multiply themselves by means of little bulbils which form in the axils of the leaves and drop to the ground as the plants ripen. Investigation will show many of these black bulbils, which are really seed pods, on established plants. In a garden where the tiger lly is growing, new plants will usually come up in many places, often where undesired. ‘They can be moved, but it is a simple plan to gather the bulbils when they are ripe and plant them an inch deep in rows in the garden. It is best to put a thin layer of sand under them if the soil is heavy. The plants will reach blooming size in two or three years, (Copyright. 1935.) o % | Shopping in Washington ||Several Left, two-prece dress of toned crepe. BY MARGARET WARNER. HOPPING notes for the last Sat- urday that the larger stores will be closed have been taken from smaller shops that do not observe this custom. There are quite | a number of shops that do business all day Saturday the year around, so that those who find it more conven- ient to make purchases on that day may have the privilege of doing so. You will find that these shops often do not use direct advertising, but de- pend largely on attractive window dis- plays to attract your attention. They will put their best frock foremost in a conspicuous spot for passers-by to see just how nice a frock really can be bought for a remarkably small sum of money. These frocks have all the earmarks of the latest style features, many of them even being copied from more expensive models, but of neces- sity the material is not of the same quality and the workmanship not so meticulous. i * % % % | "THE frock at the left in the sketch has lots of appeal for the girl with a slender purse who wants a | piece model in black novelty crepe with a jacket that fastens in the back for street and business wear, and a blouse that is attached to the skirt of pastel, blue, with tiny metallic flecks | giving a dressy effect with its short | sleeves and ruffie collar. The shirring | and notched V “at the front of the Jacket peplum are interesting details. Another dress for the limited budget is a green crepe with ripple sleeves, elbow length; a peplum giving the ef- fect of a two-piece frock and an ac- cordion-pleated skirt with plain panel back, which is quite new and smart looking. Another green crepe, also with short sleeves, has a boat neck with metal clips at the shoulders and pointed panels of shirring on the blouse that break the plainness in a very pleasant way, making a useful and practical frock that is good for many occasions. It has one of the new flared skirts. * % % x PURPL! in a sort of grape juice color is prominent among Fall fashions and is shown in a novelty crepe two-plece dress with deep square yoke and wide belt, each trimmed with Ahrta AR PATTERN 5417 Seeking some interesting pick-up work for slowly lengthening evenings?

Let stand 10 minutes May, Be Used With Assured Success .On Festive Occasions Although Simple to Prepare, These Dishes Have Atmosphere of Elegance and True Distinction. BY BETSY CASWELL. ROM various sources, recently, I have gleaned some rather choice and unusual recipes, that seem particularly ada) for kitchenette cookery. They go especially well, these days, when just a faint hint of Autumn seems to tinge the air, and spirits and energy begin to rise .. again. The first one makes use of boiled or can- ned shrimps. It is good enough to use for a party, and would make a splendid buffet supper dish, with cucumber on whole wheat bread sand- wiches, and & mixed green salad alongside. “SHRIMP JACQUES.” Remove center line from one pound of cooked shrimp, Rub an iron skillet well with onion or garlic and melt one-quarter of a pound of butter in it. Add two-thirds cup sifted bread crumbs and then the shrimp. Blend well. Add a little lemon juice and one tablespoon chopped parsley, salt and pepper and paprika to taste. Serve very hot. TOMATOES STUFFED WITH CORN. With a sharp paring knife remove the kernels from four ears of green corn, scraping all the milk from the cob. Put corn in a double boiler with & lump of butter, a little sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Add one teaspoonful of finely chopped green pepper. Cook for 20 minutes. Scoop out four large, firm tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Fill the cavities with the cooked corn and bake about 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are well cooked. Serve hot, garnished with parsley. EGGS MARTINIQUE. Poach one egg per person in a poaching ring. Let cool in rings and while still there pour over them one of the canned consommes that will jell easily. Set in icebox to harden. | When ready to serve, set on slice of | ham trimmed to same size as the egg. | garnish with strips of red pepper and surround with mayonnaise. A slice of liverwurst sausage or pete de foie gras may be substituted for the ham. A Dorothy Man’s Occupation Betsy Caswell N THE questionnaire recently sub- mitted to the students in a wom- an's college as to what line of occupation they would like their prospective husbands to follow, they | voted overwhelmingly in favor of the | medical profession, with bankers, | brokers and traveling salesmen fol- | lowing after and preachers, once the | goal of every girl's heart's desire, coming in almost at the end of the 1list. Of course, in these times of unem- ployment when a man with any sort of & job that makes a living is the and plain shirt waist collar finished; answer to a maiden’s prayer for a husband, girls cannot afford to be choosy about the line of endeavor the men they marry follow. It is any port in & storm, and thank God for s safe anchorage. % ¥ x Nmm & man’s occupa- tion does have a lot to do with his desirability as a husband, and it is something that a girl does well to consider before she signs up with him as a life partner. Take doctors, for instance, who are the hot favorites with these college girls. Nobody will deny that they have a special attrac- tion for the feminine sex. They are, to begin with, well educated; they are spotlessy clean; they are trained to assume s sympathetic attitude, and they are the only men on earth who will listen with an appearance of in- terest when a woman talks about her- self, all of which makes s hit with women, and would apparently put them in the three-star class as hus- bands. Yet there are no other wives in the world who are, as & class, 50 universally jealous as doctors’ wives. And with as little reason. For to the average physician a woman is not a woman. She is just a case. His sympathy is sold over the counter. His interest is purely professional, and always he sees a woman at her worst, when she is sick and ugly and un- reasonable. But for all that, his wife can't help Jelly-like. Seal in sterilized jars. CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM. (Good Mechanical Refrigerator Recipe.) 3 squares chocolate 2 cups milk T or 4 yolks 2 3 tablespoons vanills bit of truffie cut in fancy shape may be placed on top of the poached egg just before adding the consomme. SPAGHETTI SALAD. Cook ome small box spaghett in salted water until tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and let cool. When really cold, mix in one at s time, threes tablespoons yellow grated cheese and two tablespoons mayonnaise, one celery heart cut fine, two hard-boiled eggs, one onion, one green pepper, one small can pimentos chopped and drained. Add three ta- blespoons chopped sour pickles. Mix all well with more mayonnaise until proper consistency is reached. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. This is fine for a Sunday night party.

His nose must be buried in & book instead of bent over a bridge table, and he must sit up in brooding silence turning over his cases in his mind of an evening instead of en- gaging in bright chitchat about the neighbors and the baby's new teeth. The wife of & famous lawyer once told me that she never spoke to him first for fear she might break up some important train of thought. That wouldn't suit the average woman who likes the sound of her own voice. Moreover, & lawyer must have a thou- sand secrets and know hundreds of perfectly delicious scandals about his| clients that his wife is just dying to hear all about that he won't tell her, and if that isn't aggravating, I ask you. * % xx Afl FOR the traveling salesmen and naval officers, they are a good choice of husbands only for women who are sports enough to take a 50-50 chance on , secure in the fact that no matter how things turn out they will be happy half of the time, either when their husbands are at home or when they are not. And you might play a worse tip than thal, anyway. ‘Take it all in all the best bet in marriage for a woman is the business man. He isn't often temperamental. He isn't spoiled by public adulation, and so he doesn't expect his wife to be the queen of the incense burners. He knows that in every undertaking there is bound to be losses as well as profit and he doesn’t demand perfec- tion in the woman to whom he is married. He is satisfied if she strikes a good general average. * x k% Aflbmhmdwmlnulhmm and sticking to it, no matter if it isn’t all that he thought it would be, and so he doesn't rush off to the divorce courts every time he sees a platinum blond who looks better than his wife, Naturally a man’s occupation affects his point of view, his tastes and his habits, and hence his desirability as s husband. So woman does well to consider a man’s profession in picking out & husband, DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1035.)

ERE is a design that is prob- ably reaching you in just the nick of time, for if you are a wise parent, you are getting all these garments ready for the Winter. They are such simple things to do, you can pick them up any time you have a few moments to spare, and once cut out, they can be sewed up in a jiffty. ‘The slip is in two pieces, the body of the garment extending up over the shoulders, as children’s slips should; | the neck being simply cut out in a deep oval. You may edge the bottom of the hem with a narrow lace edging, | or some of grandma's tatting. Or you can leave it quité plain, if Mary | Ann is the kind of child who comes home from school in tatters every day. There is just one piece to the bloomer pattern—ao, there are re-enforce- ments, and you'd better use them, for they help out in the wear and tear. Bought bias binding may be used to | finish the armholes and neck of the slip, and the bloomers are held in at waist and lower edges by elastic.

In short, not if he says, “I'd like to see some thin black wool socks—size 11.” But if he asks, “Will you tell me where I can find Mr. Manager?” he would probably tip his hat as he answers, “Thank you." “Dear Mrs. Post: Can you tell me why the King and Queen of England in their recent order for china ordered only half as many cheese plates as| any other size plate?” Answer: The only reason I can think of is that cheese plates aré not used on state occasions. “Dear Mrs. Post: Would it be proper for my young brother to announce my engagement in the newspaper?

BY LOIS LEEDS. SD"MM.ERTIM.E seems to aggravate foot troubles. Perhaps this i partly due to wearing light sandals with high heels that do not give ade- quate support to the feet. Ventilated footwear is, of course, very hygienic at this season, but it should be chosen | with care. The heavy girl should select the oxford type of shoe with cutout effects and she should not try to wear high heels all day. In hot weather the shoes should be changed often nol only to rest the feet, but to give the | shoes themselves a chance to get aired. | It is more cleanly to wear socks in- | stead of wearing only shoes. The socks should be changed at least once a day. Even in sandals the soles of the feet perspire. When stockings o1 socks are not used, the insoles of the | shoe should be sponged with an anti- septic solution every day or at least well dusted with foot powder. Hot, tired feet are one of beauty's worst enemies. They sap your vitality | and cause facial wrinkles. You can- | not be poised and magnetic when your | feet are crying out for rest. Holly- wood stars understand the importance of foot care and each hag her own recipe for keeping her feet healthy and happy. People who spend much of their time standing or walking should make it & rule to sit with feet elevated for a certain period every day to equalize the circulation through feet and legs. There is nothing new about this beauty hint, but it has gained fresh point recently since milady’s feet ang legs have come out in the limelight for Summer sports. Foot comfort and efficiency demand strong muscles and correct habits of standing and walking. Shoes should be wider in hot weather than in cold to allow for the natural swelling of the feet. There should be enough room | for the toes to curl and stretch as you walk. Five minutes a day spent on foot exercises are worthwhile insur- ance against common foot troubles and will also strengthen weak feet and ankles. The pedicure becomes as important as the manicure when the toes are ex- posed in beach sandals. There is little difference in procedure between the two except that the toenails are filed straight across or nearly so instead of being given a pointed or oval shape like the fingernails. The same nail | varnish is used on toes and fingers, but it is put over the entire toknail The 1594-8 You may want some dark bloomers manicuring.
