and then add the okra, and season
well and serve very hot.

Prepare a creole sauce as follows:
One cup Of stetUed tomatoes,
TWo onions, minced very fine,
one green pepper, minced fine,
Tiny bit of garlic,
One teaspoon of sugar,
One and one-hGlf teaspoons of salt,
One teaspoon Of paprika.
Cook until onion and peppers are

To Preserve Russian Cucumbers
The Russian dearly loves the Gu
cumber and for this reason it plays
an important part in his diet, and is
served in many forms throughout the
year. Use a small wooden cask or
barrel. Cleanse thoroughly and then
place layer of grape leaves in the
bottom and then a layer of medium
sized cucumbers, packing cucumbers
closely together. Now sprinkle over
each layer.
Chopped red peppers,
A few branches of parsley,
A fe1o branches Of fennel
A tet0 branches of dill,
One dozen aChole allspice,
One dozen qUhole cloves.
Cover each layer with grape leaves
and repeat until the container is
filled to within four inches of the
top. Place a double layer of the
leaves on top and then make the fol-
lowing brine:
Three gallons of aCater,
Fire pounds of salt,
One teaspoon of black pepper.
Bring to boil and skim and cool
before using. Place a board on the
pickles and weight down with a
heavy stone.
Note-Do not wash the cucumber
before placing in the brine; the bac-
terra in the surface of the cucumber
are required to make picking sue
cessful.
Leaves from the cherry and black
currant are sometimes used when
unable to obtain the grape leaves.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
THERE must be real satisfaction to
l. the woman who dresses on limited
income in welcoming back into vogue
the fashion for wearing detachable
washable collars and cuffs on dark
frocks. Usually frock is more becom-
ing when it has this line of white at
neck and cuffs; always it is more
economical and more dainty. For if
we may change soiled collars and cuffs
for fresh ones every day or so, our
frock does not have to go to the cleaner
so often and it is very much more sure
of being kept fresh and dainty.
OF course, some women have con
tinued wearing these neat detachable
bits of lace or linen or cotton fabric
at neck and wrists, and there have al.
ways been plenty of them to be had at
the neckwear counter, but few dresses
have been designed with view to wear
ing them. When we bought a frock
that was built without them, we, in a
measure, spoiled the effect planned by
the designer when we added them. In
many of the new frocks-and the sketch
shows one such-the gown is designed
for the presence of collar and cuffs. If
you are wise you will have the addi-
tiOnal set made in the same shape so
rs not to mar the original design at
all when using them in place of the
original ones.
4 frock of this sort has much to it's
credit besides its practicability. 1t is
distinctive in line and likewise in de =
sign. Spider webs may not seem to
you at first sight a very attractive in =
spirntion for the design on a frock,
but they prove to be in this instance.
| In fact, there is something approaching
fad for this death trap Of little flies
and winged insects. An extremely in
| teresting trousseau set of underthings
recently brought over from Paris was
made of flesh georgette with enormous
spider webs on each piece.
This bit of originality in the frocE
does not unfit it in the least for being
used for what you may call every
day wear" II you are a business or
professional woman, the frock would
be admirable for business hours. II
| not, it is the sort of frock that you
would do well to select to wear when
you have a committee meeting there, q
business appointment here, little shop
ping and a call or two. 1t may b'
worn quite well without coat on days
like these, light scarf being enough
by way of semblance to wrap.

For a Watermelon Party


To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam--Woul you be so kind
as to print in your column some good
get acquainted" games for an outdoor
watermelon party?
The guests will range in age from
sixteen to eighteen and many have not
met one another before.
PROSPECTIVE HOSTESS
These games have been successfully
used at an outdoor party and l hope
they will make things merry ut yours.
You can also have Totes of fun carry
ing the watermelon seeds on table
knife and having races in this way.
Having race at string the watermelon
seeds is also fun, particularly If you
make the boys do it.
TAPE RACE
Have as many lengths of tape as
there will be players and have all the
tapes about the same number of feet,
say ten or twelve. Provide several
pairs of sharp scissors. Attach all
the tapes to fence or to porch rail
ing at one end. Four players con-
test at once or six if you have scissors
enough. The contestants hold the loose
ends of the tapes, which they draw out
taut. When the handkerchief is
dropped each player begins to split his
tape up the center line with the scis-
sors. The player who can soonest ar
rive at the end that is tied wins the
race. Now let four more race until
champion is found. Then let win
ners match winners until the supreme
champion is found and reward tht
champion with n prize.
BACKWARD RACE
Simply have long smooth course
without obstacles Of any kind and SEE
who can get to the opposite goal (goins
backward) in the least number o.
seconds and minutes. Any one wht
looks over his shoulder is disbarret
when the prize is awarded.

About a kissing Game

Dear Cynthia-Your column is the
first thing I read when / receive the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER. l think
the letters printed in your column con-
tain more human interest than whole
paper full of news. am not ashamed
to say that I read the letter written
by "Patience" about five times, and
each time it made me cry, for l know
what it is to have wonderful mother
and home and then to lose them both.
This seems worse to me than never to
have enjoyed either, but the world is
good and J. am content in having my
father. Even Patience found happi-
ness at last.
My problem, Cynthia, is a very com :
mon one. I have often attended parties
where the inevitable kissing games are
played, and if / had not played with
the rest / would be called a "crank"
and "old -maidish.'' l do not like these
games at all, but, Cynthia, what can
you do?
Surely boy does not think less of a
girl who allows him to kiss her in Q
game in which it is necessary to do so
It seems to me in this case that the
girl is acting a part just as heroine
in "moyie" must when she kisses the
hero in the last scene. 1t Is the samt
in both cases there is no feeling in it
it is only acting.
I have been to parties where othel
games were suggested and enjoyed, bu
at least one kissing game was as GER
tain in the course of the evening as the
ice cream. / can hardly wait until

Wedding Supper

To the Editor Of Womdn'S Page:
Dear Madam-What is served for re
frcshments at home wedding at I

A wedding supper usually includes
chicken croquettes, lobster or chicken
salad, rolls, ice cream, cake and coffee.
In these days of the high cost of living
fruit salad may be served with the
croquettes instead of chicken or lob

For daytime dark and marine blue,
dark red and certain shades Of brown
ought to be becoming. A fawn- -colored
tan, too, looks we'll on a person an
swering to your description.
For evening wear, pink, flame color
or nile green touched up with flame
color would be becoming. A pale yellow
is sometimes very attractive On bru-

Love Lights the Way

One woman Graded him against her
breast,
Worked with her toll worn hands
to give him bread.
The other knew him when his boys
unrest
Had merged to manhood and his
blood ran red.
One was the mother who had shaped
his life,
The other woman was his mate, his
wife.
Out of the blackencd carnage of the
war
One woman welcomed back her
only child,
Saw him straight limbed as he had
been before,
Touched his rough shirt and was
content and smiled.
The other woman saw his shattered
sight
And breathed prayer that she
might bear the light.

that in His own good time. Why do
you not talk to your father Of your

you wisely. Be patient, kind and
loving to your husband, and if you ask
him to take you out and he refuses do
not cry, but get some woman friend
and go yourself.

Kissing games are foolish, and 1t Is

less in these matters when the game
