Adventures
With a Purse

TNEERE is no occasion for me 10 say
l. that the appearance on the far" OF
supcrfluous hair is not only unsghtly'
but is also great cross to h"r who Is
so afflicted. Nor am l prepared to enter
into discussion as to the efficacy Of any
treatment purporting permanently to re
move supcrfluous hair. But ] could wax
eloquent on the subject of many prepa'
rations used which do, indeed, tenn
porarily remove hair, but which leave
tho skin rough and unpleasant looking.
Ny adventure, however, is for her who
seeks dcpilatory that comes we'll

will, it removes hair, but it has an
added quality. It acts as n bleach on the

"AcetyIene" Writes Aaain

Dear Cyuthia-So BAN" says OK
periencc is the great teacher. Very true.
Listen. BAN, ! know about all this
love stuff. I've fallen SO far aud deep
already that haven't fully recovered
yet.
Cynthia. I cant SOC why you can't
get" me when | say that the girl can
have such and such thing. | mean
that she can get that much out Of me.
\ girl should realize that if hcr intended
spends all his coin before marriage she
cant expect SO much aftCrward.
Why should | go out and spend all
l make on a girl. anyway:
| believe in having Il good time, Of
course. but there's no sense of printing
the town red every time you go out.
The girl that l go with will get what
I stated in a former letter, and that S
a lot more than some are getting. Then
if marry her. it's altogether different.
She can have anything she wants that !
can possibly get her, even if | have to
steal it.
Oh. yes. BAN" love is funny
thing. ! was that way several times
just plain nutty. ACETILENE.
No, there is no reason why man
should spend everything on "A girl. Ia
fact, if he is to marry he should save.
You did not make yourself quite clear
on that. But it does seem that YOU
want perfection in your future Wifi.
And II does not exist in this world.

eight dinners for family of five, with
some left from each dinner to be fried
for breakfast the following morning
Potatoes are important in the diet
and early potatoes from home gardens
are especially appetizing. It may not
pay to crowd out the more intensive
garden vegetables in order to grow early
potatoes, but wherever space will per-
nit at least one peck of seed should be
planted. A good plan is TO plant late
sugar corn between the potatoes about
the time the potato vines begin to show
signs of ripening. Then, as the pota-
toes are dug, hoe the soil around the
corn. Late cabbage plants are often set
between the potatoes and a crop of
cabbage is produced after the potatoes
are removed. II always pays 10 keep
the land working.

Scolds Lots Of Experience"

Dear Cynthia-With your permis.
sion Id like to say a few things to J..
Of E. and to any one else that it may
interest.
BY your letter, L. of f.. think your
experiences have all been one sided ::
that is, with the capricious girls. Also
your good ideas are inexperienced.
You read the letter from Expert.
cnced' in different light from my
reading Of it. | don't think she meant
to advise girls to make fools of them
selves. She was sarcastic and meant
just the opposite. j think you were dc
cidedly unkind to her and insulting to
the true. brave and noble minded young
women. That's why I'm answering your
letter.
You say: Does Experience ever
think of the girls who make fools out
Of the fellows?" Listen Why do you
fellows let the girls make fools of you I?
that kind of a girl her real place it
would say lots more for you men. in o
stead of helping matters along ] don t
mean to hurt you alone by saying that.
but I say the same thing to the girls {:
keep the fellows where they belong. -
| have never vet asked young man
to take me out. Although my gentleman
friend takes me out often enough. yet
We find time and plenty of it for eve
nings at home.
Why don't YOU mon when asked rs
you say. Where do we go from herc:'
by girl. say Home" in q polite and
kind way.
Take her there, leave. and say
Good nigh ht"-and go. Where is your
will power?
It doesn't make any difference so far
as I can see in what manner Il girl or
fellow gives his or her life for the ono
loved. There are numerous ways. The
men are as much to blame as the
women. It's just as much tho fault Of
one as the other that the world is what
il is today. 1t isn't only the girls. l.. OF
T.. remember there are many mothCrS
left with children and the father of
with others.
hope some day this world will rca q
lize that mon and women arc here to
work together and not TO fight against
each other: that the true and noble viii
! live for each other and that they viii
try to help the untrue and show then
the ways of God by their goodness anG
will power.
Hone that I have not hurt your feel
ings. /. of E.. or the feelings of any
one else. But this is the way | fee
about all these discussions in good

garding kissing" I have come to the
conclusion that he is right in a way.
also think that it wouldn't be a party
without girls, and as a matter of fact,
kissing goes along with it. But l think
that any fellow who goes with n girl

A Popular Pursuit

Pharmacy is very popular pur-
suit among the women of South Amer

in that country. because IL is pro-

ITO MAKE good pastry is the aim OF
i every housewife. Among some Of the
ancient lore handed down TO us is that
some housewives hands were better
adapted for making pastry. Or in other
words. the luckless ones were heavy
handed. Nothing is more foolish than
TO believe this. For If this is so do you
believe all the chefs and pastry cooks
have dainty. lily white fingers? All
madame, ! see you do realize this ancient
trick or little joke. SO, with the thought
In mind that each and every one of us
can and will make good pastry. our
lesson will start with the preparing Of
the paste.
Sift the -four into bowl and then
sift again. Now measure three cups by
filing mixing cup. using tablespoon to
mix with. Pile -four high and then
level cup with knife.
Place three cups Of -four in bowl and
then add
Ono level tablespoon of baking poe
der,
One lerei teaspoon Of salt.
Sift to mix. Now turn into a bowl
and add
Tpo levcl tablespoons of shortening.
and with two knives chop or cut
shortening in the -four. When -four is
In Jumps the size of IA pea, add
SeUen tablespoons OF ,Cdtcr.
Now take your cake turner and chop
and fold the mixture together until you
have we'll blended mixture. To do
this correctly just think of how a
plasterer prepares his mortar by cutting
down and then turning over. If you will
follow this rule your pastry will be light
and flaky. Just remember that the min
ute you squeeze o. mold up this mix
ture in a ball that is just the moment
you spoil it aud make it tough.
Now turn the dough on pastry board
and cut down. Place one piece on top
of another: press gently and repeat
three times. Now cut in half and roll
out one eighth of an inch thick.
To Make Nut Slices
Gut three strips of the pastry three
inches wide by six inches long. Brush
one strip with shortening and sprinkle
lightly with finely chopped nuts and
then dust lightly with cinnamon aud
sugar. Now brush second strip and lay
over first strip. Repeat the filling for
this layer. Now place the top strip in
position and brush this strip with the
following mixture: Place in a small
bowl
Yolk Of one egg,
One teaspoon of sugar,
-Four tablespoons Of erdpordtcd milk
Beat to mix. Apply to the pastry
with clean brush. Bake in slow oven
until we'll covered.
