Please Tell Me What to DO
BY CYNTHIA

you mention are time-wasting nonenti-
ties of no permanent value. Better by
far to read good books and not rush like
sheep to the moral slaughter. Give me
the simple, clean things of the world,
others may be content with the paint ana
tinsel of the girls sphere of living, IL
they like It. So you see, Brown Eyes"
girls are not only a menace to a mans
future, but they drag him into n rut,
mentally and physically What person
is more boring than one who has fol-
lowed the standards set down by con-
vention for n dozen years? They have no
and above all, slaves to conditions.
Girls can never make good pals II Is not
their fault exactly, but IL Is impossible
under the present double code of con-
duct. AS for this kissing argument. A
kiss more or less hurts no one. II Is
simply form of salutation and when re-
garded as such its value Is but a little
greater than the hand clasp, neglecting.
of course the factor of sanitation. It Is
really shame that poets and writer's
have thrown such a veil of sentiment
about the kiss and this thing termed
love. Even our Guardian Angel Cynthia
claims love cannot be explained. when.
as a matter of fact it Is exceedingly SIM
erence in the issue, but to appease your
curiosity I'm six-foot, blue-eyed,
brown-haired Yankee. Enough Irish in
my makeup to cause me to fall in love
with every colleen 7 meet and enough
common sense to fall out again and
henceforth to stay out. Stick a gold
star on your car door and I'll look for
you on the High Road, but no vamping,

SENDING DRAB CLOTHES
IN FOREIGN RELIEF BOXES
Cipes Warmth. and Conf Refugees and Poor People, but
a Little Touch Of Bright Color adds Happiness, Too

There's a pathetic story told BY 70.
lief workers of little Armenian gir,
who found an orange peel on the street,
picked il up. and fastened IL on tho
front of her ugly dress. She was inst
as starved for color as she was for
food.
JITORKERS in Turkey say that they
w have never seen such rags any,
where as are worn there by the refugees.
Yet they are picturesque and bright
because they are made up of the most
brilliant colors that can be found: all
matches, Of red, yellow and blue. You
can imagine how IL would be yourself
IL YOU had little food, scarcely snv
clothes. nothing but grayness in the
future, you'd want just as much color
about you as possible.
Evening dresses, thin, elaborated,
trimmed things, are decidedly out OF
place in any lot Of clothes that is sent
to keep somebody warm and decently
clothed. Light -colored frocks are not
sensible, either, for they get so easily
soiled. But color, cheerful, happy red,
and yellows, deep soft blues that look
good enough to eat, green's that seem
beautiful to an eye that is yearniug for
color; these are never out Of place
Send serviceable things by all means.
and give warmth and comfort, but do
stick in little bright color somewhere
to add that much needed pleasure. II
may be just touch Of embroidery to
tighten up a gray dress. It may be a
tiny bow Of ribbon at the neck Of
dark blue one. That small spot of
brightness will change that dress from
something necessary but commonplace
to a gown to wear with pride and hap
piness. Perhaps that red or blue or
green will do a double benefit to the
person who gets it. II will keep her
warm and clothed, and it will make her
rejoice in its color 80 that she'll for
get for a minute how very little she has
had to eat that day.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-06-12

aTT'S a shame about that dress,' re-
i marked the we'll dressed woman as
she sent off a frock to a rummage sale.
ITS almost perfectly good. and 1t
would keep some poor foreigner warm
rext winter. But it's such a bright
color that / hesitate to send IL because
IL wouldn't be serviceable. 1t seems
so useless to send such brilliant thing
when they're just starving, 80 to speak,
for warm, serviceable things
We all have that feeling. When we
get ready our boxes for foreign missions
or for. relief stations in Europe, or
even for our own charities, we put in
the most drab, discouraged looking OBJ
jects we can find-because they're so
serviceable. We pat ourselves on the
back for being so sensible, especially
when we see the fimsy, lace trimmed
evening dress that some neighbor OF
ours has sent.
Imagine that in Armenia y we ex-
claim, scornful of such lack OF dis
elimination.
OF course, in one way we have the
right idea. Gauzy evening dresses are
not suitable for box of this kind.
They would probably be torn before
they arrived. On the other hand, how
would you-feel IL you were a refugee
or an orphan, and you had been prom :
ised a dress from one of the American
boxes? You'd be looking forward to II
with such Joy. ,, a.,
can have something to keep me warm.
and make me look little bit decent.
No matter how poor or cold you are,

(Copprf0ht. 1920. hy Mrs. NJ, A. Wilson. All
rights reServed.)
My dear Mrs. Wilson---Will you give
good cucumber salad recipe or any
way TO fix the new ones for the table
MRS. w. j..
C,ROM now on and until late in the
- fall cucumbers can be bought very
reasonably. The food value of the GU
cumber is virtually nil-it contains
about ~ per cent distilled water that
Is available without the process of di.
gestion: this goes directly to the blood
stream-hence when people talk of the
cucumber as cooling. this is the reason.
The mineral salts of the cucumber
are valuable additions to our diet ;
they purify and cleanse and for this
reason IL should be a daily visitor upon
our tables during the growing season.
How TO Prepare the Cucumber
Pare the cucumber and then cut in
thin slices and cover with plenty Of
cracked ice. Let stand for half hour
nnd then wash. Serve in salads as a
garnish for fish. meat courses and also
as fritter.
Cucumber Salad
Prepare the cucumber as directed,
cutting into paper thin slices and.
when ready to serve. add three medium
sized onions, sliced Cover with crack
ed ice and serve with pepper, salad and
vinegar or French dressing.
Cucumber MayoHnaise
Pare the cucumbers and then place
In bowl of ice water for a half hour.
Then crate and add
One cup of mdyonndise,
lH Three onions. grated,
One-hdU teaspoon of mustard,
One-hdU teaspoon of pdprikd,
One teaspoon OF salt.
Mix and then serve with cold meats.
Sour Cream Dressing for Cold
Vegetables
This may be used with peas, string
beans or asparagus. Prepare and crate
the cucumbers as in the cucumber
mayonnaise and then turn into bowl
and add
One teaspoon Of salt,
One-haIf teaspoon of pdprikd.
One half teaspoon of mustard,
Three onions grated,
Que cup of thick sour cream tchipped
stiff.
Mix thoroughly and then serve.
Cooked Sour Cream Cucumber Sauce
Place in a saucepan
One-h half cup of rinCgdr,
One quarter cup of tCdter.
Ttco tablespoons Of cOrnStdrch.
And then stir to dissolve the starch
Bring to a boil and cook slowly for
three minutes. Now add
On tablespoon of sugar,
One and one-hdt teaspoons Of salt,
One-hdlt teaspoon of pGprikd,
One halt teaspoon of mustard,
Ttco onions, grated,
One tcell- beaten egg.
Beat to mix and then remove from
4 the fire and add three quarters cup o
whipped. sour cream and zone grated
r cucumber. Beat to mix and then chill
and serve. This is a delicious dressing
on lettuce or shredded cabbage.
Stewed Cucumbers

Manners at Table

Emmie-Chicken salad should be
placed on ones individual plate. Serve
1t from the dish to the plate with a table,
spoon and a fork.
Chicken salad. French rolls or rasped
rolls and ice cream and cake and coffee
is plenty TO serve for a little supper at
home. Potato chips are nice with a
salad, 1t would not be quite enough for
dinner, but for a luncheon or supper
1t would be all right.
A plain lettuce sandwich may be eaten
in the fingers, but a chicken salad sand
wich should be eaten with fork.
1t is not considered good form to use
ones handkerchief very freely at the
table, but it is better to use 1t a little
than to sniitle.
1t is in very bad form and extremely
ill.bred to eat with knife, and food
should be cut while In the process OF
eating, not all at once.
Pie should never be cut with knife
once 1t has been served: a fork held
| sideways will cut through the crus'
as we'll as knife, and is the proper
| thing 10
