One-HoIf of One Per Cent
BY LORA KELLY

If there is one thing more than
Smother in this best of possible
worlds, which interests US, it is sta
t~istics. Next to long columns of fig
ures and chart covered with zigZags
and smokestacks, we like to look
over percentage ratings.
And when the percentage ratings
are applied to the American girls
~loVemaking. our enthusiasm knows
no bounds. A French movie actor,
who recently left our shores, must
have encountered rough going in his
amorous adventures under the Stars
and Stripes. He proved himself an
earnest believer in the admonition:
"When far away from lips that are
dear,
You've but to --ake love to the lips
hat are near"
BE that as it may, this male
screen beauty who says that he has
met the feminine charmers of forty
countries, has us all tabulated in his
little notebook. Being a loyal pa
triot of La Belle France, he natur-
ally allots the platinum-set lipsticl
to ma-mselle, with a grade of 100
per cent. Others rate thus: Span
ish woman, 88 per cent; Russian
woman. rs per cent; American wo-
man, SO per cent; Canadian woman,
25 per cent: Esquimo but 2h per
cent, land the Japanese but little
better"
AS a footnote to salve wounded
pride he adds that 1.-The American
woman iG the most beautiful in the
world. even if she is only half there
when it ONE to love-making."
Well. that's something. He might
have reduced us to the one-half of
one per cent class on the grounds
of its being constitutional.

teaspoon cinnamon, l tablespoon
orange juice, l teaspoon grated or
ange rind, l tablespoon butter. l

depending on the size, to make the
required amount of sauce, Stew in
as little water as possible to prevent
burning. When tender rub through
a sieve. While hot add spices, but
ter, grated rind and juice of orange,
salt and well beaten yolk of egg.

baking powder sifted together. the
butter rubbed in with the tips Of the
fingers and the water cut in with a
knife. Spread over apples and bake

But the handy manual of conversation for which there is

We might be taught not to give unsought advice, especially
