Prefers out-of- Doors Girls

Dear Cynthia--I have read your
| column for quite some time and find it
very interesting. The tinge of Peggy s. >
letter few nights ago has appealed
to me so much that ] would like to
answer that 'real pal. The subject
of painted dolls has developed quite
debate in your column and i would
| like to draw my comparison between the
/ painted ''vamp'' or ''doll'' and a real
outdoor girl pal.
/ In the, first place, a girl who uses
rouge to a great extent and effective
ness. hardly ever desires TO derive any
| great benefit out of outdoor sports,
namely tennis, swimming. etc. The doll
/ type usually seeks the dance emporiums,
or the park squares in our city. Here,
in these haunts, she proceeds to show
! herself off as a "big timer" ] am only
speaking of the girls who are supposed
| to be denied any exercise or recreation
in their immediate neighborhoods. For
example, the one who watches in the
night for auto rides, to be picked up
l by some natty dressed male, who an
swers to the call of IMAM but really
is camoufaging the latter name, These
dolls claim they have TO go out or dance
at some cheap jazz palace. bedecked in
their ''rouagic' and powdered counte
nance, TO meet boys and have good
time. In some cases the homes of these
dolls are not presentable to entertain
every Tom, Dick or Harry, but l do
notkthink that should be an excuse for
th&Alind of sport in which they partici-
pate. That is the reason we have
recreation centers, swimming pools, etc.
4 all over our city.
To take the breal pai' type of girl,
why l leave it to all real and regular

THE month of November brings to
= the markets curly escarolle, TO-
maine, California and Boston let
tuce, for variety. Occasionally the
thrifty housewife will feel that ow-
ing to the increased cost of the price
of salads, during the fall and win
ter months, she can afford to elimi-
nate them entirely or use them occa-
sionally.
Surely this is 4 great mistake, for
during the fall and winter months
the body needs the vital life-giving
elements Of these succulent vege-
tables, and it is far wiser to cut
down on the allowance of meat used
at the evening meal and serve at
tractive salads to balance the menu.
Do not waste single bit of this
green food. Carefully pick off with
the fingers all decayed or discolored
parts and then wash the salad in
plenty of water. Add one teaspoon
of salt to the last rinsing water;
this will remove all those tiny and
almost invisible mites and slugs that
frequently cling to the back of the
salad plants.
Watercress may also be added to
the salad list and this piquant and
peppery grass is very rich in iron;
it belongs to the mustard family.
Manv combinations may be made
to provide variety. Leftover vege-
tables may be combined with finely
minced green peppers and one
a1iRely chopped onion added to each
= reful of the prepared vegetables.

why she should be any more plain than

seems to me they look more like rag

That is because I care for It in the
proper way. You see, my dears. am
not too lazy to spend little time in

Girls, do you expect people TO say
you have a beautiful complexion?
If not. why do you make up? For
when the paint is washed off. your face
is just as pale as ever. Canadian"

Varied Questions

To the Editor Of Won1an's Page:
Dear Madam have blackheads on
my face and my skin is not clear. Would
you please suggest something for this?
What can take sour cream stain
off brown leather shoe?
What is u good inexpensive nail
polish? NJ. T..
The regular use of good facial soap
with occasional steaming with hot wa
ter should make your skin free OF
blackheads. Use warm water to make
the lather. then rinse in cooler water
and finish with just as cold water as you
can get. This will stimulate your cir
culation and may make the skin clearer.
If this does not help you had better
consult physician as the condition
may be the result of poor general cir
culation or indigestion.
Remove the stain from your shoe by
wiping it with cold water and then ap-
ply paste of French chalk and chloro-
form or carbon tetrachloride. Leave
the paste on the stain until 1t is dry
then brush it off carefully.
Ask at the toilet articles counter OF
a department store or drug store for the
nail polish. There are many good
kinds. and by looking around a little
you can find an inexpensive one.

To Cut Wedding Cake

To Cut Wedding Cake
To the Editor OF Woman's Pdoe:
Dear Madam-Kindly reply through
your department to the following guess
tions:
What is a unique way for bride to
cut her wedding cake?
What is the state flower for New
Mexico, Minnesota and Wisconsin?
j. u. N.
Instead of having the bride cut the
cake have it cut before the wedding
and placed in little white boxes made
for the purpose. Then at the wedding
have a large cake of papier mache or
pasteboard placed before the bride with
much ceremony. Let the bride slash it
recklessly with a huge carving knife.
When it falls to pieces there should be
cards inside for all the guests telling
them where to look to find the boxes of
cake that are hidden for them.
The flower of New Mexico is the
cactus, of Minnesota the moccasin
flower, of Wisconsin the violet.

and then send the invitations to them.
You can find inexpensive favors at the
five and ten cent store, if you want
anything more than the caps. Have the
caps passed to the guests on q tray
during the refreshments.
Why don't you have the refreshments
arranged so that it will not be neces-

goes into the dining room at the same
time, and some sit at the table while
others sit in other parts of the room.

When the guests arrive, send them

one room for the girls and another for
the boys. Stay in the living room
yourself, and greet your guests as they
enter the room after coming down
stairs. Introduce them as they come in.
1t will not be necessary to go with
them when they leave their coats and

where to go when they come in. Send
