Some Tasty Ways
To Fix Grapefruit
By Sister Mary

When planning a meal that In
ciudes grapefruit, remember this is
an acid fruit and must be used in
careful food combinations.
Too much starch served in the
same meal with a grapefruit dish is
sure to cause trouble. A reasonable
amount of starch served first Is per-
fectly proper. AS when a grapefruit
salad is served after the meat course
at dinner. But halves of grapefruit
served before q cereal at breakfast
is a bad combination.

BROADCASTS
BY LORA KELLY

Women have eyer been accused OF
being the gadding sex. Hasn't ii
been told in Gath and Ascalon and
all points west that women's crown
ing frailty-outside of gossip, love of
dress, talking too much, being fligh-
ty, and not sticking to business,
(meaning the frying pan)-is in
gadding about?
Well, here + two husbands, in
widely varying sections of the coun-
try, whose wives are travelling to
Reno to cross the Great Divide.
Ono woman say that her hus-
band, a bank employe, was never at
h jme evenings. She was of n
strongly domestic turn and she
wanted q husband who would stay
by the tireside. yawn over the paper,
then wind up the clock and put out
the cat. She wasn't a bit impressed
with the Observation-Disclosures
ing night owl stuff.
The other husband was guilty oil
ever worse conduct. He openly ad-
mitted to the court that he wanted
to lead "a wild and woolly life" and
suit himself regarding his choice oil
female company. Furthermore, he
told the lady that he hated fat wo-
men, and she presumably was of the
broadbeamed sisterhood.
Well, brethren, what about it? Il
we stay home and tend to the babies
you think us fat and embarrassing
If we spruce Up, visit the beauty
parlors, and dress so that the head
waiter won't set us down between
the serving table and the orchestra
when you take us out to dinner. yot

beauty-provided somebody else en-.
dows It.

Some women, who can't quite set
the courage. or the parental consent,
to shear the locks entirely have
compromised with a sort of half
and-half treatment. The front Is cut
and arranged like a regular bob. The
portion of the hair behind the ears
and on top of the head is left long
and is wound into the tightest of
knots at the nape of the neck. Or
sometimes it is rolled under so that
one takes a second glance before
realizing that the entire head of hair
is not bobbed. In this way a woman
may have the effect of a bob and
still say to her husband or sweet
heart, "Of course, dear, I'll never
cut my hair without your consent"
Those. however, who have with
stood the bob are beginning to fea-
ture the topknot. The most popular
style is the soft arrangement about
the face. parted in the middle OF on
one side. or just pulled back loosely
from the forehead without a part,
piled in a soft knot at the back of
the head. To call attention to the
browning olory with a jeweled or
