By the week end veal may have joined the parade, too. In spite of this wholesale jump, many of the markets are holding their meat prices as low as possible, and featuring loins of pork, rib roasts, and other specialties at attract: ¢ figures. So the on the budget. Of course, there are plenty of chickens, ducks and young turkeys from which to choose. Capons are excellent, as we nice compromise in size between turkeys and the usual roasting chicken Fish stays about the same, although many dealers are complaining about the persistent rains, which slow Shad, of course, is fine, and there are both fresh salmon and fresh halibut from the West * up shipments. now to be found will see the first of the soft shell crabs from South " Carolina—good news for those who dote upon this . delicacy. Also, we may be seeing fresh frogs legs by next week—so far only the frozen variety has been offered. Nice rock- fish are delicate and tasty, and there are any number of other seafood < Betsy Cas favorites available. [ Produce, on the whole, shows a better trend. Tomatoes from Florida are expected, better in size and price than the ones seen of late. Beets, with nice green fresh tops from Texas add a vegetable-duo to our menus, and the number of various greens to be found is legion. Everything from field cress to dandelions and turnip tops are heaped high at every dealer’s—surely an easy way to take one’s spring “tonic”! Spring onions and leeks, peas from Georgia, and crisp celery hearts at lower prices -are being offered. Asparagus comes in assort- ed sizes, at very reasonable amounts. String beans and cucumbers have decided to come back to normal at last. Honeydews are really good now, Juicy and full of flavor. We still have fine pineapples; berries, from Louisiana and even nearer, are red and firm. Other fruits seem a bit scarce just at present, although we are being told to expect new ship- ments of fine avocados at low prices in a short time. Temple oranges are being replaced by the Valencias, and grapefruit are plentiful and not expensive. South America continues to send plums, pears and grapes, which eke out the contents of the fruit bowl. Seen in a specialty shop—a new brand of onion soup, in which the ingredients come dried, in the can. Only water need be added to pro- duce o rich stock, complete with shredded onions and grated cheese. New shipments of ripe olives and green ripe olives have appeared, in time for the spring cocktail parties. Also a new type of chopped ripe olives, in cans, that is fine for sandwich spreads or for combining with other ingredients in various dishes. SUNDAY DINNER MENU.

The smart woman of 30 or more, has found that a few minutes of daily pampering helps wonderfully to keep her skin looking youthfully fresh. She has borrowed tech- niques used by fashionable beauty salons and by following a home routine faithfully (with an occa- sional professional facial) she dodges that middle-aged look, and remains attractive. Actually there is no magic in- volved, it is merely a matter of knowing how to care for your partic- ular skin type, and then doing it every day. Let's suppose that, like the ma- jority of American women, you have dry skin. It is on dry skin that signs of age are most apt to etch their unwanted lines, par- ticularly around the eyes, mouth, and on forehead. Weather lines and laughter lines lead to deeper wrinkles, so you will be wise to discourage them before it is too late. What to do? I'll take you to an expert in one of America’s prominent beauty salons. She claims, of course, that the first fundamental step in the care of your complexion is proper cleansing. “A clean skin, with clean pores, functioning properly, is the very foundation of skin beauty,” she insists. For dry, mature skin, this salon uses a cleaning cream which helps to soften the skin as it removes dirt and tired make-up. This cleaning-plus-softening cream contains vegetable oils made extra light by a double beating process. You are advised to apply it to your throat as well as to your face. When you remove the cream with tissues, you have not only cleansed your face but have also eased away flaky patches and helped your skin become appreciably softer. The second step, as outlined for home routine, is local stimulation. This requires an orange flower skin lotion which removes every trace of dust and cream, besides whipping up & youthful blush. Be sure your movements are upward and out- ward, working from the base of your throat and finishing at the hairline. The non-drying Ilotion leaves your skin very refreshed. The final step, in this simple treatment is lubrication, which is very important if your skin is dry. A particularly rich emollient is chosen to give the skin. supple- mentary lubrication. This special dry-skin mixture is patted on with your fingers, or even better, with s patter such as salon experts use. If your skin is extremely -dry, it is suggested that you add a bit of emollient oil to your cream, to increase the softening action. For older faces and thin necks, this salon uses a doubly-rich cream. For unusually sensitive or thin skins they prefer a specially prepared sensitive-skin mixture. ‘Whichever emollient you require (according to your skin type and condition) you should leave it on overnight if possible. You may also use a thin film of it as a make- up foundation for it will protect your skin from the elements—sun, wind, cold or dust. Of course, if you have found a perfect make-up foundation, which you like, you may use that instead of the lubricating emollient. for small, medium and large sizes; also what knitting needles and what material and how much you will need.

Housekeeping|‘Sauce for the Gander’ Is Is Full Time |Compilation of Masculine Social Misdemeanors Various Petty Crimes Keep The Young Men About Town Occupation Wife Usually Finds Home and Office Don’t Combine By DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: My husband and I are both employed and we board in a private home, but I am not satisfied. I wish to do light house- keeping and still hold my job, but he says that it will be too hard on me and if I go to housekeeping I must give up my work. What do you think? MARGO. Answer—I think your husband is exactly right, and that no woman should undertake to carry on two jobs at one time. Of course, many women do. They work all day in store or office and then rush home and clean up the house and get din- ner. The result is that they are nervous, peevish, overwrought and end up in a breakdown. The reason that men last so much better in business than women do is not be- cause they are physically stronger or have better health, but because they have so much more sense about taking care of themselves. When & man does his day’s work he calls it a day and lets it go at that. He doesn’t go from work to his home and cook his dinner and sit up half the night pressing his trousers and sewing on buttons. No, indeed. He goes and gets a good, hot meal that somebody else has cooked and that he hasn't had to worry about or plan for. He spends the evening reading or amus- ing himself, lets a tailor do his mending and the laundry do his washing. But a woman superimposes the work of a woman on her work of a man. She does a man's work out- side of her home and then comes home and cooks and scrubs, washes and retrims her hat and takes a tuck in her skirt. Then just about the time when she is getting to the place in business where she is capable of drawing down a good salary she blows up in nervous prostration. Furthermore, no woman can per- from satisfactorily two jobs. When she tries it she falls between the stools and is good at neither. She isn't good in her job because she isn't giving her whole mind to it. She has half her thought on won- dering how things are coming along in the fireless cooker, and if she forgot to shut the icebox door, and trying to remember all the things she has to get at the delicatessen. When she gets home she is too tired and frazzled to cook a real meal or to eat it after she gets it cooked. So, take your husband's advice, Margo, and board with somebody else until you are able to set up a real home and devote all of your time to it. “Light housekeeping” is well named “light.” There is mighty little substance to it, and I don't blame a man for not wanting to leave & place where there is real food to be had. DOROTHY DIX. Consult Host On Costume For Dinner By EMILY POST. The most knowing people have | | least hesitation in asking a host or hestess quite frankly what to wear whenever they find themselves in doubt. But the typical letter is this one, asking me instead, “Is it proper to wear a hat to a ladies’ night din- ner given by a local men’s club? If so, what type of dress is correct?” The answer to this is to ask your personal host—the member who in- vited you to this dinner—what he is going to wear. If your host is wearing formal evening dress (tail coat), then you should wear your best evening dress, with a smart hair-do and of course no hat; if he is wearing dinner clothes (tuxedo), then simple evening dress and no hat, or a long afternoon dress and a small evening type of hat. If he is going to the dinner in a business suit, then you wear day clothes and a hat. * % k % Dear Mrs. Post: The wives and husbands of my daughter’s office associates have no earthly interest in her coming marriage. In fact, she knows only one or two of them. However, the wedding is on a Sat- urday, when the offices are closed, and I believe you said that when a wedding like this takes place after office hours, the husbands and wives of the people in the office should be invited, too. Does the same an-| swer apply in every case? Answer—For events that can be considered social—and a wedding is certainly social—you should send the invitations to the home ad- dresses of her office associates and include their husbands and wives. But if you cannot invite so many, or if for any other reason you do not want to include these outsiders, your daughter may invite those in the office verbally. In this case she would simply tell them when and where she was being married and that she would love to have them with her if they cared to come. ADVERTISEMENT. HURRY!

You always expect to be pald with a good-night kiss for taking a girl out. No girl with self-respect sells her kisses—and even if she did, the price of a movie wou.d be a pretty low bid! Youre a Silly Sammy, giggling moistly and toothily when there's nothing at all to giggle about. Except possibly you! 2 You confuse shoes with noses, and think a shine is out of place.

You take advantage of the darkness of a movie to put your | arm around her or to play “footie” under the seats. You're a Bragging Ben, always talking about what YOU did, what YOU said and how YOU showed ‘em. If you were that good, you wouldn’t have to’tell anybody. You're always relating, or hint- ing at, stories that are out-and-out | ghady, or which have broad double | meanings. Let's put Confucious back in his grave! You use to much slang, most of | which is outdated, and which was never any good even when new. | ‘You make a girl think your date with her is unimportant by not | bothering to dress up for it.
