New Face, New Fancy

Dear Cynthia had TO adopt a sort
OF "watchful waiting policy in order
but my long wait was surely augmented
by the fine advice that you SO kindly
gave Inc in reply to my letter
This is problem that l just don't
Know how to explain because it hardly
has working foundation. but [ am
certain that our reliable cynthia can
solve the difficulty, so here goes
am Just past nineteen and can be
called agreeable and generally nice
and a1nIable fellow. l am fairly popu-
lar and | attend numerous gatherings

at party or dance If should happen
to meet young lady who is moie or
less good looking and attractive |
Immediately fall for her and always
give my utmost attention to the nice
looking miss. Sometimes my courtesy is
welcomed. aud then again ii isn't, and
in case 1t should be turned down I am
certain 10 feel sighted and uncomfort-
able. This thing might happen any
number of times and with any number
of young ladies', but | always pursue
the same course, even forgetting any
previous acquaintance, in order TO have
the miss upon whom L am showering my
attentions receive them graciously at
that present moment. I am not love-
sick nor have ! an attack of any other
disease simi lar TO that. yet / cannot
fathom my feelings in this matter.
DO You think | have made it plain
enough. cynthia!
Yes. and then one more question.
| have known a nice member of the
opposite sex for about three years and
see her quite frequently. Whenever |
form a mental picture of a girl that ]
would like TO become attached to |
invariably seem TO select, that is in
my mind, sweet face resembling the
friend of whom / speak above. Is this
or isn't 1t an indication of my affection
for the lady in question?
Watchfully and thankfully.
AN INTERESTED READER.
You needn't be too much worried
about yourself, because frequently bows
OF your age scpend most of their leis-
ure hours falling in and out of this
condition OF mind. 1t is just a matier
of becoming for the minute devoted to
every new and pretty face. As YOU get
older YOU will find yourself gradually
getting over IT. In the meantime Won
might help yourself along little bit
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-02-20

by looking ahead on the road and de-
Gliding not to be too altogether attracted
by every pretty face YOU see. The
worth girls laugh at a boy who
is continually devotiug himself TO the
newest beauty and they certainly can
not take seriously anything he may
sincerely mean.
In answer TO your second question,
! would say that this has the symptoms
of being something that might turn
into real love later on. However, YOU
are young and IL might be only mix
ture of an ideal i'm your mind and
giri with a sweet face. And, by the
way, the typing on which you asked
an opinion was very good.

UNLESS the oyster is attractive
in appearance, single dipped and
fried an attractive brown it is q
failure as fried oyster. Now
while many methods are given for
frying oysters, few housewives seem
to be able to turn out a perfect
product.
Use large oysters. and look them
over carefully for bits of shell.
Wash and then roll in highly sea-
soned corn flour. Let dry Off for
ten minutes and then dip in pre-
pared egg, and then roll in fine
bread crumbs. Stand aside to dry
for ten minutes. Fry only three or
four at time in hot fat. Care must
be taken to have the fat sufficiently
hot. Usually about $40 degrees
Fahrenheit will do.
If you do not use a fat thermome-
ter to test the fat, then try it with
a piece of bread in the following
manner: Place a crust of bread in
the fat and begin to count 101, l02,
103, 104, ETC., until you reach 1l0;
the bread should then be a deep
golden brown. Then proceed to fry
the oysters, keeping the fact in mind
that more than three or four in at
once will reduce the temperature of
the fat and thus permit the oyster
to soak up the grease.
To Prepare the Corn Flour
One cupfuL of corn -four,
THO tedspooHfuls of salt,
One and one-half teaspoonfuls Of
papr'ikd.
Sift three times.
To prepare the egg dip
One egg,

One tablespoonful Of Worcester
shire sauce,
one tedspoontW OF salt,
One tedspoOnJW OF pap,ikG,
One tablespoonful of grated onion.

To prepare the bread crumbs, put
dried bread through the food chop
per, then sift and store until needed.
Roast Oysters
Wash the oysters carefully, scrub
bing the shells well. Place the deep
side down in baking dish or pan
and place in very hot oven for
thirty minutes. Serve from the deep
shells with highly seasoned melted

one else must be willing to take the
responsibility"
TT is intensely Illuminating TO see
i real feminine nature rise in spite
OF itself, and in all fairness, women, in
aiming to stand shoulder to shoulder
with men in the business world, must
acknowledge that the thing exists.
Those women who have achieved sue
cess in the business world will be the
first to acknowledge it. for they. as
executives, come in contact with just
this quality TO which men point.
1t is TO be wondered if women as
a sex can overcome this failing. Until
they do, certainly in all justice. we
must admit the sex as whole will not
make itself felt in the business world.
