Of this series of discussions on left

one thing 1 hope readers will remem-

to know that more acute hearing in
one ear Is not the result of disease or
injury of the other ear.

pecially good for vegetable and combi-
nation salads of this variety, while
others are admirably adapted to serve
with sweet salads. The piQuant
dressings are good to accompany
chicken and veal. or to serve as a
salad course after q hearty main
course coming before a sweet dessert.
Sweet salads are now considered ex'
cellent for dessert dishes. They may
also follow a main course prior to
the dessert.
Piquant Salad.
An unusual touch can be given a
supper in the typical Saturday night
meal of colonial times. Serve a
piquant salad with the pork and
beans. Here Is a good recipe: Diced
cucumber, one teaspoonful to each
serving; fresh tomato, two or three
thin slices.
One head lettuce.
One teaspoonful of chopped mixed
pickles or piccalilli to each serving.
Put the tomatoes on the well washed
lettuce leaves and on each slice put
few pieces Of the diced cucumber. Dot
with the piccalilli. or put the pickle
in tiny dots about the tomato slices.
Serve with Russian dressing or the
following modified French dressing:
Inf6e tablespoonful ulS olINc oii vi
two tablespoonfuls olive Oil and one OF
vegetable oil.
One tablespoonful vinegar or scant
tablespoonful Of strained lemon juice.
One scant level teaspoon{ul salt.
One.quarter teaspoonful black or
white pepper.
Sprinkling of paprika.
One.eighth teaspoonful dry mus
tard.
One-quarter teaspoonful extract Of
onion.
One teaspoonful minced parsley.
One-eighth teaspoonful mince sweet
basil.
Mix dry ingredients and add to the
oil, blend we'll and add the vinegar or
lemon Juice, and stir vigorously until
thickened somewhat.
Simple Russian Style.
BY adding one tablespoonful Of chilli
sauce, one teaspoonful capers, n tea
spoonful piquant meat sauce and a
DASH Of cheyenne pepper to three or
four tablespoonfuls mayonnaise a
good Russian dressing results. BY
beating one-half or even one-Quarter
cup Of sour cream and adding to an
equal amount of mayonnaise a deli

This will require extra salt and pep

the sassy highsteppers in town get
the boys. All the promiscuous pet
ters have dates every evening, while
the lilywhite maidens languish at

It's an absolute fact that most un-

their line Is faltering, or because
somehow they can't achieve the

But those honest few are the ex.
ception. All the rest of the unsought-
after maidenhood rises to protest that
there ought to be a blue law against
petting, and then they'd have a
chance to shine as they deserve to.
In nipe cases out of ten they're
wrong. For instance. Olga Is a flop
with the boys. She never gets a rush.
never has more than one date a year,
and bitterly resents the popularity of
Marjorie. who turns them away by
the dozens.
olga whispers behind a discreet
hand that Marjorie pets. who
couldn't be popular il she were willing
to pet?" asks Olga scornfully.
She pays no attention to the fact
that Marjorie always looks smart
from head to toe, that she drives and
rides and swimS as well as a man.
that she dances perfectly, that her
line is witty and peppy.
No, Olga j3st sulks and shifts. and
says that she for one refuses to pet.
And IL blue law forbade petting to-
morrow. Marjorie would still be a
riot and Olga would be still sitting
home alone evenings, signing for
suitor.
It's perfectly true that lots of girls.

But it doesn't follow that petting Is
the only road to success. If a girl is
attractive and clever enough to Keep a
man interested. she doesn't have to
hang signs around her neck saying:
II pet" And what's more, she doesn't
have to pet. Look at the terribly
popular girls you know. Isn't there
something distinctive and attractive
about every one of them that has
nothing to do with petting?
Then tell yourself the truth
You're not unpopular because you're
a decent, self.respecting girl. That's
all the bunk. II you're unpopular,
you're unattractive in some way.

Is likely to cause paralysis Of the

cause these functions are controlled

every child were taught to write with

though ambidexterity of a kind Is
sometimes noted in mental detectives,

The brain center for the control of
speech is located in the third frontal

brain centers for the control of move

arm of the right side. Scientific OBJ
servers have found that the favored
