WOMEN . Cranberries Scale New Culinary Heights in School Meal As Pleasant HourNeeded Conduct and Spirits ‘Are Dependent on Good Nutrition. BY ANGELO PATRIL I AM certain that a lot of the trouble we have with ailing children is due to poor food. They eat the wrong thing at the wrong time and under wrong conditions. And that's why their meal-time should be carefully su- pervised. We had a child who was very much underweight. He was a source of worry to his parents and his teachers. Buch a jumpy little thing. The teach- er helped him. The nurse gave him a list of the things he should eat. The doctor instructed him as to what to do. But all to no avail. Wee Willie didn't gain. His conduct didn't im- prove the least bit. “Something must be wrong,” said the nurse. “If he ate as we told him to eat, if he rested, if he slept he would gain. He hasn't gained an ounce in a week. He is no better than when we began.” * ‘The next day she fellowed the child at lunch time. To her amazement he went straight to the near-by store where there were plenty of sweets to be had. He selected one cream puff, one chocolate eclair, one spice cake, one peanut bar, and he was carrying this load of contraband to his corner when she pounced upon him. *“So this is where you come! Young man, after this you eat where we can see_you.” Children who are not thriving, chil- dren who can't behave, children who aren't doing well, should be forbidden to eat at the corner candy shop. They should be forbidden to leave the school during lunch hour. Their money accounts should be carefully scrutinized. They should be regular- ly weighed and their diets adjusted to their needs. For it is the duty of the school and the home to preserve their health and to maintain their growth. No matter what comes or goes they must be fed properly. A child behaves according to his feelings. Mistaken eafing will make a child feel like a little fiend and he will behave like one. It is easy to manage a healthy child. His mischief is only the expression of good spirits. But the behavior of an undernourished child is another matter altogether. If you want to appreciate what I mean, go without food until your head swims or you have an attack of intestinal in- digestion. Then you'll understand the | importance of proper feeding. Re- member this: Conduct and accomplish- | ment depend upon nutrition. | ‘There should be a place in every | school where the undernourished can sit and eat and chat a little after luncheon, where they can relax and tell jokes. Why not? School is a place of living. If we gave these children a chance to eat their luncheons in pleas- ant surroundings, if we made the lunch room attractive, allowed rest and recreation, we could be conferring upon them health of mind as well as health of body. I am not saying that if an ailing ¢hild is properly fed he will be an angel, but I am saying that if he isn’t properly fed he will not become a healthy, normal child. (Copyright. 1935.) The Old Gardener Says: Garden makers who grow fruit will find it a good plan to scrape their old apple trees at this sea- son, because in this way they will remove the eggs of pests which have been laid in the crevices of the bark. A dull hoe with a han- dle which has been shortened will make a good scraper. Some gar- den makers like to whitewash their trees, but experience has shown that nothing is accom- plished by this work except that sometimes sun scald is prevented. Sun scald comes from the reflec- tion of the hot sun on the snow and causes the bark to break, but it is not to be worried about under average conditions. It is important to remove all mummies from the fruit treées—this being the term applied to fruit which remains on the trees until it is dried up. (Copyright. 1935) | above.

Washington A New Perfume for a New Season and Other Aids to Loveliness. Parfum and talcum in striking new design. Below, a complexion brush for the treatment of sluggish and oily skins. BY MARGARET WARNER. NEW fragrance by a great maker of exquisite perfumes is welcome news. It comes as the very symbol of all that is newest and smartest in the field of | women's fashions, using the theme of | graceful drapery as an inspiration for its white-and-gold case as well as for | the tall, slender crystal fiacon of most unusual design, as shown in the sketeh The fragrance is spicy, pun- gent, full of the tang of Autumn and | entirely delicious as you will find out | for yourself when you try it. Talcum powder with the same odor is also obtainable and, likewise, is presented in a white-and-gold con- tainer with the simulated drapery folds. Do ask to see these new ar- rivals the next time you are shopping and see how really delightful they are. Also keep them in mind for birthday gifts, and you might even drop a hint to the family that you wouldn't mind having some yourself. * Kk ok * THE large, soft complexion brush and soap at the bottom of the sketch is the basis of a .special treat- ment for ridding the skin of impuri- ties in a very thorough manner. Millions of tiny pores all over your skin are constantly throwing off waste from the body—excess oil, fatty acids or perspiration. With high-tension living today the complexion is too apt to fall below par. Sluggish circula- tion will rob the skin of its youthful elasticity, prevent the pores from work- ing as they should, cause black- heads and eruptions. The oil glands may work overtime and drain on the pores, coarsening and enlarging them. The skin neéds outside stimulus, mild abrasive measures to keep the pores invisible, to urge them on to normal activity and in turn keep the skin clear, firm and fresh. ‘To relieve this condition, the use of a complexion brush and mild socap is advocated. The brush shown is made of the very finest bristles avail- able, completely compatible to the most delicate skin.

It is a new duet kit put out by one of the leading manufacturers noted for the purity of products.

Its black box is lined with silver and the petal pink of the hand lotion on one side coupled with the delicate green of the skin tonic on the other side has two jars sandwiched in between, | one containing cleansing cream and the other tissue cream to be applied at night. Here you have two complete beauty treatments, one for the face and one for the hands, and all for | the amazingly low price of $1, but | only for this week.

It explains clearly, without giving you too many pages of solid reading, just what to do for your skin in the morning and in the evening, and also contains a little chart for make-up so that you ntay select your accents to beauty wisely. The hand lotion alone is so deli- cately perfumed and pleasant to use that you will be completely won over, if you are not already familiar with it. * % ¥ % TH!RE are soaps and soaps, but we hear that new soaps imported from Vienna that are made of pure almond milk are marvelous for the complexion, and soaps molded into roses will add glamour to one’s bath.

Turkey Partnership Proves Versatility and Adaptability in Many Unusual Menu Combinations and Tempting Dishes. BY BETSY CASWELL. OR years and years, especially in New England, cranberries have been as closely allied to turkey as mint sauce is to lamb. Cranberry jelly, cranberry sauce, stewed cranberries—all were considered the undisputed ac- companiment to the noble bird. Gradually, § however, house- § wives have come to realize that t h e cranberry may be used in other forms, and with other meats. It may also be pressed into serv- ice to make all kinds of special dishes — desserts, salads and so forth. Plentiful and 8 Betsy Caswell full of food values—cranberries are source of vitamins A and C, as well as a good amount of jodine—they are inexpensive and easy to prepare. What more could one ask? Right now the markets are aglow with the ruby-colored fruit, shipped in from the Northern swamps. Most of the cranberries in the United States are grown in three sections, Massa- chusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin. Although the berry is known in Europe, it is not much cultivated there, 80 that the fruit may almost be claimed as an American food. The trailing vines, with small evergreen leaves, support the red berries on slender, curving stalks. It was these stalks that originally gave the cran- berry its name—“crane berry,” be- cause of the resemblance of the stalk to the neck of a crane. * * * & 'HE best grades of cranberries found commercially, are hand-har- vested—the less perfect and smaller berries being a secondary gleaning by rake or comb. Several types have heen developed, so that some districts specialize in berries of globular shape; others choose the bell form, and still others are almost conical. The shape really does not have anything to do with the flavor of the berries, of course, but to obtain good culinary results it is best to buy the better grades of the fruit. One of the little-known tricks that has recently come to light in the cooking world is the use of cran- berries to make tough cuts of meat tender and more palatable. Two cups of raw cranberries for each 3 pounds of meat may be added to the gravy or juice of the meat while boil- ing, and will tend to break down some of the tougher fibers, at the same time lending added flavor and tang to the finished dish. ‘Then there is a quick way to make Dorothy that old standby, cranberry sauce, which should prove of great assiste ance to the housewife who is sud- denly faced with unexpected guests, and wishes to ‘dress up” dinner just & bit, but has very little time in which to do it: ‘TEN-MINUTE CRANBERRY SAUCE. 4 cups cranberries, 2 cups water. 2 cups sugar. : Boil the sugar and water together for five minutes. Add the cranberries and boil without stirring for five min- /| utes longer, or until all the skins have popped open. Remove from fire when the popping stops, and allow the sauce to remain in the sauce- pan undisturbed until cool. * % % TKI following recipes show the versatility of the crimson fruit, and will give some idea of the long way the cranberry has come since its turkey partnership days: CRANBERRY SHERBET. 4 cups cranberries. % j 2% cups water, ? 2 cups sugar. Juice 2 lemons. 1 teaspoon gelatine dissolved in %2 cup cold water. Cook cranberries with the water until the berries stop popping. Strain, then add the sugar, and cook until dissolved. Add gelatine, cool, and stir in strained lemon juice. Pour into tray of mechanical refrigerator, stir- ring occasionally, Allow it to stand for 2 to 3 hours. STEAMED CRANBERRY PUDDING. 1 cup flour. 11, teaspoons baking powedr. 1, teaspoon salt. 1, cup bread crumbs, 15 cup brown sugar. 23 cup finely chopped suet. 1 cup chopped cranberries. 1 egg. 3 cup milk. Mix the ingredients in the order given; turn into a well greased mold, cover with waxed paper and steam for two hours, never allowing the water to come more than two-thirds of the way up the sides of the mold. Turn out and serve hot with foamy sauce or cream. . CRANBERRY OMELETTE. 4 eggs. 4 tablespoons water o. milk. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons butter. 3, cup Ten Minute Cranberry Sauce. Beat eggs, water and salt just enough to mix well. Melt butter in & frying pan, pour mixture into pan and cook over low heat until omelette is set on the bottom. Lift the edges so that some of the uncooked portion will run under the cooked part. Cook a little longer and repeat operation. Loosen with & knife, add the sauce and fold. Serve immediately. Dix - Says In Choosing a Wife It Is Well to Give the Matter Serious Thought. HE class jo humanics at one of our leading institutions of learning is reported to have had an unexpected increase in attendance since one of the professors announced that he would start & course of lectures on “How to Choose a Wife.” ‘This is heartening news, for cer- tainly there is no other thing in the world about which men need so much to have authoritative information as about how to pick out a wife, and certainly there is nothing else about ‘which they are so abysmally ignorant. As witness the dumbells that clever men lead to the altar, the spenders that poor men choose as life mates, the gadders that domestic men espouse and all the other matrimonial griefs that men wish upon themselves. The ability to foretell which way the stock market is going to jump, or to prophesy in which direction business is going to go m a city, or to guess which horse will come in first under the tape, is nothing compared with the knowledge of how to judge flap- pers and tell which one will make & good wife. Heretofore men have married on hunches and trusted to luck that they would get a winner, with the result that most of them guessed wrong and the land hss been filled with the sound and fury of quarreling hus- bands and wives, and the noise of wrecked homes, so it is encouraging to learn that the youths in our col- 10 and 12 am. - Psychology BY DR.

In the course of time the living picture turns into a chromo, but brains improve with age and experi- ence. The woman who is merely pretty depreciates every year. The one who is intelligent gains in attractive- aess continually. Figure out for your- self which is the best investment for position. ICK out f laugh is h A gay-hearted jolly girl.

Outside careers and matrimony do not mix any more than ofl and water for the very conclusive reason that nobody can make s success of two diametrically opposite jobs at the same time. When a man marries he doesn't want a lawyer or a doctor or an opera. singer. He wants a homemaker and he wants a wife who is glad she married him instead of thinking she made a sacrifice and who is willing to make him happy and | comfortable instead of giving her best to her public. And, furthermore, a man is wise to marry a girl who already knows how to cook and run & house instead of letting her learn her trade at the ex- pense of his digestion and pocketbook. A lot of the happiness in marriage consists in having good food, a clean hearth and a thriftily managed home. R ER IN CHOOSING a wife consider well her disposition, because that is what you have got to live with. Pick out a girl who is sweet tempered, un- selfish and affectionate, for not all the beauty in the world nor all the bril- liance atones to a man for having a wife who is a virago or a nagger.

Center Part In Coiffure Should Be Adopted by Those to Whom It ! Is Becoming. BY ELSIE PIERCE. HAD an interesting interview with 8 leading French hair stylist re- cently. He is a sculptor in his own right and knows a thing or two about facial contours and features and how to fiatter them. He thinks, for instance, that short hair can be adapted to any type, whereas only the very young, the very gay, the very good-looking pere son should keep the hair in a fairly long bob. And one should think of the back of the neck more, and the back view of the head, too. “That is so—so important,” he says. And we agree. He has a great deal to say about the center part. It has been too long forgotten. So few women can really True. All the more reason why those to whom it is becoming, should dare to part their hair in the center. It is so chic, 5o smart. Women with oval face, good hairline and forehead, fine features—for them the center part, why do they not wear it? Demure Yet Sophisticated. Perhaps one reason why women have heretofore discarded the center part is because it gives one such a demure, naive appearance.

Velveteen is much used for accessories for wool frocks, and suedes, of course, for belts, in which case the scarf may be of silk.

Bright wools, or velveteens, are nice under dark coats, gold, all the high tones of rust, greens, fuchias—these are lovely with brown outer coverings.

Hairdressing artists, knowing this, are introducing variations of the cen- ter part that combine the demure with the sophisticated in such intriguing fashion that the center part should certainly see a revival. For instance, picture the center part carried all the way from fore- head to nape in back. The hair is brushed straight away from the part, then one deep wave running length- wise above the ear ending in fat, puffy curls, Another variation brushes the hair straight away from the part in front (the part ending at the crown). Be- ginning at the nape in back, puffy curls climb high up to the crown and teeny, feathery curls line the forehead. Still another has two deep waves on one side and curls climbing diagonally from that side in back to the other side in front. In other words, each I!lde is quite different in spite of the center parting. (Copyright. 1935.) Refitive—Has Minor Place In Showers BY EMILY POST. “T)EAR MRS.

Is this just one of etie quette’s arbitrary stands, or do you ]rully think it is wrong for a relative | to show first itnerest> After all, it | seems to me that a sister or a dear | cousin should have more privileges | than a friend.” Answer —There is no great objec- tion to a shower given by a cousin, | though best taste prefers that it be given by a friend. The reason why | & shower should not be given by the | bride’s mother or sister is that the | invitation might just as well be word- ed: “Will you please bring a present for my daughter?” (Or my sister or even my cousin.) Whereas, the invie | tation from a friend, sent to other | friends, implies, “Let us all get to- gether and give Mary some presents.” In any case, the sole object of a shower is the showering of presents. | No one can possibly go to it and not take a gift. In fact, it is almost nec essary to send a present if one is une able to go. Therefore, it should be obvious that the nearer the ties of relationship, the more questionable the propriety of asking for donations. “Dear Mrs. Post: A sister of & boy I know very well wrote me a friendly letter some time ago which I answered {1n a little while.
