BEAUTY HINTS

Perhaps you're one Of those lucky
girls who seems to have a special
instinct for dress and for knowing
just exactly where the comb, the
frill or the bow should go.
Such q lucky person-you!
But If you don't just exactly know
in a dash, better study 1t! It's worth
every minute you car put on it. for
one little accessory can mar the
effect of a whole gown and one hair
pin or comb can spoil the loveliest
Golf.
For instance, there are the large
Spanish combs, those with the enor-
mously interesting backs, all carved
and filigree-shouldn't wear one of
those with your absolutely round
puffy do. Won't harmonic at all.
Wear the comb with the tall back
when you twist YOU hair into n of
the lovely high chignon which is ex-
ceptionally becoming to your slim
face.
And don't wear that kind of a
comb at all unless there is a very
distinctive and elusive air of smart
ness about your lovely self-sweet-
ness and simplicity of type were
never meant for intriguing Spanish
combs.
If you're the latter type. avoid all
hair ornaments for day wear and
select lowered combs, and soft
feathered ornaments for evening.

STUNTS AND GAMES
FOR Halloween

Put three small dishes on the
table. One should be empty. One
should contain clear water and the
third should contain soapy water.
Blindfold each guest, one at a time.
Lead each to the table where the
dishes are and tell him to put his
finger in one of the dishes. If the
finger goes into the empty dish the
guest will live in single b~lessedness.
If 1t goes into the soapy dish the
guest will marry someone who has
been wed before. But If it goes into
the dish af clear water the future
mate will be someone young and
handsome and their lives will be
happy.
Shell Ships
Have half of a walnut shell for
each guest. In each shell put a
small piece of colored candle.
the more varied the color the better
Let each guest name one of the
candles for himself and then set it
sailing on a washtub sea. If two
OF the boats sail together those to
whom they belong will be lifelong
friends. If one sets out in the lead
of the others that n will be a
leader of his generation. And the
one whose candle goes out first
will be the last in the crowd to wed.

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS
OF PRESERVATION

to remove
II the stains are not really ver5

and without wringing or rine1ne
hang them up to dry. Eau de Javelie
can be used for removing ngntef
p~erspiration stains but not the deep
err ones, for with the latter the ma
terial is already weakened and Ja-
velle has a tendency to weaken rt1li
further.
Perborate of soda can be used Oh

silk is best treated with salt.
Make a strong solution of salt n
water and let the stain o three
or four hours.
Worsted and cheviot garments
should be cleaned first with benxine
and then sponged with soap and
clean water.
An effective mixture to keep on
hand for removing slight stains as
they appear is one part ammonia,
three parts alcohol and three parts
ether.
Very great care is necessary. how
ever, in treating perspiration stains
because the material is already
weakened, thus harsh treatment "

THE MOST
OF H SPACE

It's such a little room-you're
really troubled about 1t and wonder
if you can make it look like any
thing at all.
But, of course, you can. There
are ways with little rooms, which
make them seem quite a bit larger
than they really measure.
First of all. If the room is so
small, remove the door. 1t can
easily be lifted from it's hinges and
stored away, it's place being taken
by silken curtains. weighted with
leads. They should be silken, be-
cause heavy material has the effect
of taking up space and weighted
with leads. they hang in long.
straight lines which make for space
effects. The ever open doorway
gives a pleasant vista.
Well-placed mirrors will help and
pictures should be small and deli
cate. Some of the floor space should
be kept quite clear. Eliminate the
too fussy things. but remember that
an empty room looks smaller than
one we'll furnished, Sc have at least
a few cushions and pretty things.

GAY BLOSSOMS FOR
DULL WINTER DAYS

Flowers in winter are. for those
with limited income, something OF
an extravaganza, but with a little
forethought in autumn any house
wife may have her home fragrant
with flowers on the coolest days.
Daffodils. hyacinths. snowdrops,
narcissi and tulips can be
grown indoors in fibre, water or sand.
First in Importance of course, is
the finding of what bowls and bulbs
are suited to each other. Not only
must the appearance be considered
but the fact that unless the large
blooms have sufficient base they are
liable to uproot wne the blossoms
appear.
And for the sake of harmony and
contrast, bright. flowers should be
planted in neutral receptacles and
white blossoms in gay pots. However.
ometimes matching the pots and
flowers produces an exceedingly
lovely effect. Yellow daffodils. in
yellow bowls make a gorgeous patch
of color and pink hyacinths in a pink
bowl are equally effective.
Dull blue pottery is also pretty
h pink blooms and rough terra
Gotta is effective with blue or white
flowers.
The planting is a simple matter
If there is a drainage opening in the
bottom of the bowl 1t should be
covered with pieces of broken pot
terry. A layer of prepared fiber con
tanning charcoal should be put on the
bottom. This a be secured from
any florist. The bulbs should then
put in position and packed around
with the fibre. hut not too tightly. for
that world hinder growth.
After being Natered well, the bowl
should be pun in a cool dark place
where air can reach it. 1t must be
watered al the fibre dries but not
kept wet enough to be soggy. for that
would rot the bulbs. The appear
ance of little green spikes announces
the time for the removal of the bowl
to the light.
BY planting new bowls at various
periods. fresh blooms are a posi-
bility all winter long.

Love is supposed to cure or COM
pensate for all the evils Of exist
ence. Starvation with ones beloved
provides greater happiness than
feasting with a millionaire one
scorns: so runs the theory. There
fore. the following confession OF a
girl is amazing:
I'm happier when I'm NOT in
love. I've lived through n broken
engagement. I've lost my faith in
men. Now / am meeting daily a
man who has begun to make love
to me. / am tempted TO believe him.
I hunt for all kinds OF reasons to
think he would be perfectly loyal
to one woman. I fight the longing
n day. and yield to it the next.
How can / save myself"
"A cynic" and unworthy OF con-
sideration-thus the girl would have
been condemned not so long ago.
But today 1t is explained by writers
about the emotions that the young
lady doubtless has a complex that
owing TO some impressions stored
in her unconscious mind. she actu-
ally prefers to let love hurt her feel
ings: thus she finds her comfort n
joy in love!
The girls frank confession may be
paralleled in the experiences OF
many charming and capable busi-
ness girls. For example, this:
MY father was divorced by my
mother. / was brought up to hate
men. But / fell in love at 20 and
would have married had not my

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Many persons like to cure a ham
and shoulder ana several pieces
themselves. Most butchers have
their W arrangements for smok-
ing meals and are willing 10 look
after smoking meat for their GUS
toners.
It's really very little trouble to
cure the meat and home cured
ham is like a vegetable from 'our
" garden"
To Sugar Cure Ham or Bacon
Five pounds salt, 5 ounces pep
per, l ounce salt petre. / pint mo-
lasses. This rule will cure 100
pounds of pork.
Rub about l tablespoon table salt
around the bone of the hams and
shoulders. Then rub well with mo-
lasses. Mix salt, pepper and salt
petre thoroughly and rub on the
meat. Use about one-third the first
time and let stand three days. max
ing three ~rubbings in all. Let stand
in a cool dry place for from -four to
six weeks. Then have smoked.
While this, does away with fussing
with a brine, it's sort of unpleas-
ant rubbing the meat with molas-
ses. This is the simplest way TO
sugar cure pork.
To Cure Pork With Brine
First rub each ham with 1 tea
spoonful powdered saltpetre. Rub
around the bone with l teaspoon
pepper. Mix IL pounds brown SUI
gar with 2 cups salt and rub meat
with this. This quantity is enough
for fifty pounds of meat. Put a layer
Of salt in the bottom of a large tub
Put in meat, skin side down. Sprin-
kle with salt and put in more meal
Let stand in this salt for eight days
Then take out and wipe off all the
salt and wash the tub. Take 5
ounces saltpetre, 5 cups molasses,
5 cups salt, 2 gallons of water. Boil
and skim. When cool pour over
meat in the tub. The brine should
cover the meat. Turn the meat once
a week TO be sure it is curing even
ly. Let stand in the brine four or
five weeks. then take out and
smoke. Bacon will cure in three
weeks.
The woman who uses much lard
in the purse Of a winter will find
she can save money if she will buy
the fat and try out the lard. This
is not hard work and well worth
while. This is one of the things
our mothers did in the days before
we heard so much about the high
cost of living. What is known as
leaf arc may be purchased in any
butcher shop and tried out at home.
This insures pure lard for pies and
cookies.
To Try Out Lard
Cut fat into small pieces. Put in
a big kettle with just enough water
to cover the bottom of the kettle.
The water is added merely to pre-
vent scorching when the fat is first
put over the fire. Cook slowly, stir
ring frequently until the pieces of
fat are crisp and crackly. When
these ''cracklins' settle to h bot
tom of the kettle the lard is done.

To remove paint stains put a pad
of any absorbent cloth under the

air there is nothing left but a little
paint dust.
