PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD
tCopyright. le20.)

The second holiday week Is some
times difficult from the point of view
Of the one who plans and serves the
family's food. Christmas festivities
will be in the background; New Year
frolics are to come and digestions
must be kept in good order!
Nor is this all. The general holi-
day spirit must be still maintained
and an air of festivity mark the every
day home meals.
So 1t Is with this thought in mind
that we have given a slight holiday
flavor to several meals instead of
waiting for the holiday itself.
Sunday morning breakfast, for ex-
ample, has a dish that Is really very
nutritious. Scrambled eggs with kid
neys would be extravaganza for the
everyday meal. Then there is the
green turtle soup and the planked
steak for Sunday dinner. Both of
these dishes are slightly more ex-
pensive than the general plan that
these menus provide for. These Illus
trations are typical of the general
increase both in variety and type of
dishes served.
Sunday night supper dessert is
frozen canned peaches. Select a
standard Drand or Irult Tor preparing
this type Of dessert; remove the. labels
from the can and scrub well and then
freeze the fruit without removing
from the can. The result is a delicious
frozen fruit, both inexpensive and
wholesome.
Throughout the week special care
must be taken to plan simple dishes
for the children. It seems best to
emphasize this point in this particular
place because of the general holiday
character Of the meals for the week.
Coming to the New Year dinner,
roast goose Is served chiefly because

Large Pores.

IL you have large, coarse pores that
show in your skin, try any of the
following treatments:
II the skin is oily, wash the face
gently with quite warm water, holding
the face cloth over il until the pores
are relaxed and the skin very pink.
Then while 1t is moist, rub in pow
dered oatmeal, wetting the skin as it
dries. Quite lot can be worked in.
Rub 1t we'll in, then rinse it all out
with hot water. And then rinse again
with cold and rub with ice.
The oatmeal powder goes into the
skin. mixes with the matter inside the
pores and takes it along when 1t is
rinsed out. The cold rinse closes the
pores, the ice rub shrinks them up
and generally acts as a tonic on the
skin. Being empty, they'll shrink
into the very small size they should
normally be. If this treatment makes
the skin feel uncomfortably dry, rub
q little cream on after the ice rub and
wipe off as much as you can with a
soft cloth, and then use powder.
II your skin Is not very oily, steam
the face. Hold it over basin of boil
ing hot water, with two thick towels
thrown over the head to keep in the
steam. After five minutes or so,
spread cleansing cream over the skin
and work it well into the pores. Hold
the face over the basin for another
few minutes; this gets the cream still
more thoroughly into the skin.
Wash off with hot, soapy water,
rinse with cool water and then rub
with ice. The cream. as 1t works into
the skin, softens the matter within
the pores and takes it along when it
is washed out. But this way is not so
drying as the oatmeal powder, nor
quite so effective.
For pimples, rub the face with sui
ahur Ointment and steam IL holding

Clues to Character
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.
Lacking Poise.

A man who lacks self-control. poise,
GOODNESS, preciseness in speech, cor.
rectness in behavior and close atten
tion to detail rarely ever wins pro-
motion In business or the professions.
Many men are brilliant. but they
lack self-control, poise, GOODNESS and
too often ''go up in the air." thereby
losing chances for promotion. If such
a person had a. large or 81 fair measure
Of the faculty of self.control he often
would be able to double his salary.
Ii the lips are gently held backward
toward the angles of the mouth they
will cause a depression or furrow and
a corresponding fullness terminating
at the corners of the mouth. The
furrow will be found at the outer
corners OF the lips. 1t causes a sort
Of mound extending slightly above
and below the closure. If self-control
be lacking, there will be depression
on each side Of the mouth at the outer
corners In the indicated region.

come from the Old Orchard"
I'm going to find out for myself" "

Welcome Robin has stayed over and
have known nothing about 1t all
this time
SO away went Peter, lipperty.lip-
perty-lip to the Old Orchard OF
course, he made straight for the Old
Stone Wall with the bushes growing
along it. There he always felt safe.
Always there was a hiding place un-
der the stones OF the Old Wall. No
one but Shadow the Weasel or
Billy Mink, could follow him there
The first thing Peter did was to sit
up and look this way and look that
way for danger. None was In sight.
Then he hoped over to the very edge
OF the bushes nearest the Old Or
chard and eagerly looked for Welcome
Robin. He saw Tommy Tit the Chick

peckers. and Sammy Jay, and Yank-
Yank the Nuthatch, but though he
looked and looked, he saw no one
that even reminded him Of Welcome
Robin. Slowly Peter hoped along on
the snow. Presently he came to where
a number Of sumac bushes grew.
caused Peter to look up. There, bus
lily feeding on the sumac berries, was
a bird that at first glance fooled
Peter. Yes, sir, Peter was fooled.
That bird was about the size and
shape of Welcome Robin. At first
Peter had only a back view Of him.
He was just on the point of calling
out to him when the bird turned.
Peter saw instantly that it was not
Welcome Robin. He had a short.
thick bill, quite unlike Welcome
Robins bill. Moreover. the strangers
breast was rose red, and that Is not
Welcome Robin isn't red, even If he Is
called robin Redbreast."
Its Piny the Grosbeak!' exclaimed
Peter to himself. MY cousin Jumper
didn't half use his eyes. Hello, Piny!
What are you doing down here? It's
a long time since I've seen you"
Piny the Pine Grosbeak stopped
picking seeds from the sumac and
looked down at Peter. "At the pres
ent moment" said he, II am getting
a good meal. That's what I'm doing
down here
Peter grinned good naturedly. "Of
course" said he, land I'm glad of 1t.
But you don't come down here very
often and / wondered why you had
come down here from the Great For
ests of the North"
For the most excellent reason that
I couldn't get enough to eat up there,
and I can down here. These sumac
berries are delicious. I don't suppose
you have tried them, Peter Rabbit"
NO" said Peter.
''It is just as WELL" replied Piny.
There are all the more for those of
us who really need them. It's nice
winter weather, Peter Rabbit"

To cook dried mushrooms
cover them with water over
night. The next morning cook
them in the same water slowly
for three-quarters of an hour or
until perfectly tender.
Bread cracks at the side be-
cause the oven at that point is
not sufficient hot 1t the bread
is turned frequently while
baking the loaf will be even.
If your cake browns immedi-
ately when put into the oven,
the oven is too hot. Cool as
quickly as possible by lifting a

stove. Do not put paper over
the cake as it will adhere to the

. Camphor is most soothing and
healing and is used in practi-
cally every hand lotion for
smoothing roughened skin. The
spirits of camphor are slightly
antiseptic, dry up quickly and
heal the annoying little fever

often follow a slight cold, or
indicate that the system Is just
a little out of order. The cam
phor may be applied frequently
until the cold sore begins to

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, December %.

Astrologers read tomorrow as for
tunate day, as Jupiter, Uranus and
! Neptune are all in benetic aspect. 1t
is a day for pushing all ones business
affairs, since the stars are supposed to
give foresight and to increase wise
Judgment
There is a sign of profit for mer-
chants who should find the post,holi-
day trade extraordinarily good.
Education is subject to the most
stimulating planetary influences.
which appear to indicate increase of
students in schools and colleges.
Many foreign savants will send their
sons and daughters TO American uni
verSities, the seers declare, for the
world is to draw close ties of friend
ship around it through education,
This is an auspiciouS rule for poets
and philosophers, who will receive re-
spectful hearing where this configura-
tion prevails.
Conflict between material and spir-
itual forces will he strong under this
planetary government, with good
chance for spread of high ideals.
1t is day most favorable to oil in
terests, and there is the forecast of eX-
citement over new competition among
producers.
Travellers who would make home
ward trips from Europe should be for
tunate if they start while this con-
fguration prevails.
Aviation continues subject to infiu-
ences making for the greatest prog
ress and development.
Many private owners will operate
airplanes and there will be legislation
restricting traffic in the sky.
Great increase of intellectual inter
est is indicated in the prospects for
the new year.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of a quiet year.
Children born on that day probably
will be light-hearted and fond of pleas
ure. They are likely easily to attain
prosperity, for which most persons
work hard.

George Sand and Modern Styles
BY MARY MARSHALL.

skirts, gigantic sleeves and wide
berthas women contrived to make
themselves look almost as wide as
they were long. The effect of actual
slenderness was retained only by the
tightly laced waist.
So, unless for the sheer unconven-
tionality of it, you can hardly blame
poor Aurore for doffing these outra-
geous clothes and donning the trous-
ers and long coat and plain hat that
were worn by the men OF her &C
quaintance.
If George Sand had lived today none
of her unconvcntionalities would at
tract more than passing comment. and
there would have been no need for
this donning of male attire. which
was looked upon as one of the great
est Of her sins. AS a matter of fact
clad In her rather loose trousers and
long coat, Aurore was more conserva-
lively dressed than she would be In
the present. day feminine street cos
tune. Certainly no woman of today
can consider her clothes as any sort
Of handicap. They are actually more
comfortable and better suited to all
sorts of weather than those of the
men.

seldom seen here. It's arrangement
is well worth studying.
The fireplace Is simple but beauti-
full and admirably suited to a paneled
wall 1t is finished with q carved
molding instead of the more usual
mantel, and faced with white stone.
This facing forms Tudor arch,
which still further promotes the feel
ing of dignity. White stone has been
used also for the hearth in a way
that is very effective.
Hanging q family portrait over the
fireplace Is an old and respected Gus

of the fact that this fulfills a time
hOnored custom.
For those who do not fancy goose.
it may be well to provide a chop or
some other simply cooked meat. In
the New Year dinner, as In the
Christmas, both a fruit ice and the
hot dessert are served. This custom
is frequently followed for more or less
elaborate meals throughout the year.
For Winter holiday dinner it is
especially desirable. Those who fancy
the traditional hearty meal will like
both courses; others may choose either
the hot or cold dessert.
