BY OLIVE ROBERTS. BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
The Romans had a wise saying,
IT fear the Greeks though they bear
gifts
do not wish to imply that all who
would make us presents are not to
be trusted. But often the things
that we seemingly get 70 rnothing,
cost us pretty penny in tn eend.
ItNmay be wise to consider the mo-
tive behind favor before accepting.
A family spent a month in a
mountain cabin free of rent one
summer. The owner of the lodge
had written thus to his city friend:
1--WE are not going to be in the place
this year, so you may as we'll go up
and make yourselves at home. Won't
cost you d cent of rent and you may
as well have it. We feel safer with
someone in it-forest fires and
things like that, you know!"
Since that time the owner of the
lodge, his wife and two children
have made all motor trips include
the friends town, and have stopped
several times each year week at a
time at the friends house.
A woman was going away on an
unexpected journey. A friend hap
pened to come in when she was
packing. ooh, do take my chiffon
dress" she begged. cts too tight for
me, anyway, and it would just fit
you. You'll probably need something
cool live that. Do, take it,.
1t was easier to accept than to
refuse, although the woman did not
want the dress. She has been called
upon ever since to lend, her gneer-
GUS friend almost every article of
wearing apparel she owns.
A family returning from a trip
found their lawn neatly moved. A
neighbor came along and admitted
that he Wa sthe good Camaritan.
The following winter friend neigh
Dor went to FloridaA AS he left he
said heartily to the stay-at- homes
whose lawn he had barbered, II
know you will look after my pave
ment and not let the snow get
tramped in. There is a new law, you
know, that puts a fine on property
owners with slippery sidewalks"
Two months snow shoveling for two
hours grass cutting!
They say not to look a gift-horse
in the mouth. But be sure the horse
does not have a snout and a curly
tail.

hapS most women, would choose to
live in ease and comfort and security
forgetting the workaday world out
side.
More Than Luxury
But Belle Sherwin, head of one Of
the largest bodies of women in
America, is woman who demands
more than soft rugs, beautiful crys-
tai and silver, and all the adorn-
ments of gracious living, to make a
life.
That sometimes more is work
which runs like a living motif
through all her beliefs.
Marriage is work, not miracle,
and because so many women have
refused to take it as job, marriage
has been accused of failure.
"Work is a woman'S heritage"
said Miss Sherwin, still abashed at
expressing opinions apart from her
own work.
"Woman's heritage also includes
close ties of human affection. Some
times a. woman can find her work in
the very place where her affections
are deepest-in her own home.
"Other women are SO constituted
that they cannot find enough salts
faction and self-expression in the
immediate job at home.
Il believe that these women have
the same right to their jobs as other
women have to the orthodox and &C
copied tasks of house management"
Pet Topic
It is far easier to swing Miss Sher-
win into conversation on the woman
voter.
/ She is to be a mighty important
person in 1928, according to this
woman who knows the woman voter,
her habits and future, as no other
person does.
Women have now lived one COM
plete cycle of voting experience, she
explains. The seven years are up.
Today's woman knows what she
wants.
In 1920 she clutched at any spar
of information.
In 1924 there were certain definite
desires which she wanted to see in
corporated in the party platform.
Today she knows exactly what
kind of information she wants and
how much practical help she needs
from the parties to get those things
she desires.
She knows that she needs to be
a part of some party and she is in
telligently aware of the meaning of
each party.
She has, sums up Miss Sherwin,
come to the dawn of a new habit
the voting habit, and she is now
ready to make the most of it.

SUMMER
BEAUTY
BY NINE. ANNE GERARDE
For NEA Service

There are hundreds of shades of
lip-stick. Select one that gives a
natural tint to your color tone. Your
lip-stick should be the same tone of
red as your rouge.
Your mouths size should deter
mine how heavily you redden your
lips. Thin lips may be entirely
rouged, while thick lips and very
wide mouths should never lie rouged
clear to the corners.
Open your mouth and hold your
lips firm while marking with your
lip-stick. Begin at the center and
arch outward. holding stick horizon
tally to make Cupid's bow. Never
outline lips clear to the edge as lip
stick invariably spreads a bit.
When the proper arch is drawn
rub you lips together to moisten the
makeup and give it natural looI
when your lips open. The very, very
red mouth is bad taste. But lip,
that are carefully made-up have ad
ded charm.

Motoring
andPetting
Mix Badly
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
We all feel the utmost sympathy
for gay and giddy youth on the look
out for thrills. We fall all over our
selves to make the youngsters under
stand that we have no hard feelings
toward them for having upset our
cherished conventions. Rather than
criticiSe and earn their Scorn, we
put up with anything. We keep on
assuring them that they are twice
as smart, twice as capable and about
forty times as frank and honest as
we ever were. The entire populace
vies with one another to do them
homage. From morning unit night
their praises are sung.
Personally, I, too, am for the kids.
I love to see them having a good
time. I don't get shocked at their
strange and barbaric dances; their
cigarette and pocket TASKS leave me
cold. I think the girls knees are
pretty and should, if only for artistic
reasons, be exhibited. 7 don't worry
about their petting parties. remem-
bering that we merely called them
by another name.
There is one habit, however, to
which they are addicted that should
be deplored and, if possible, stop
ped. I refer to their wild passion
for mixing driving and making.
Neither of these pastimes, alone,
is to be unduly criticised. Both are
the prerogatives of youth. But the
two mixed are a menace to every
body.
When the children race down the
highway at SO miles an hour, the
girl with stranglehold on the boys
neck, their lips meeting in a blissful
kiss, you miss the haunting beauty
and charm of such a scene by the
fear that in their ardor they might,
all unwittingly, run you down.
The park benches, the moving
picture houses, the back stoops, are
filled with these affectionate couples.
A great many of them are not pos
sessed of the old-fashioned parlor
such as we used to have, in which
they can bill and coo away from the
public eye. For this reason we arc
inclined to be lenient with them.
Seeing them clenched in front of
us at the picture show but adds
zest to the heroic actions of the
screen hero. In fact, any place out
under the open sky may be used by
them for petting, and no one of us
would say them nay. But these en-
braces in speeding Ford are a bit
out of place, for no boy is man
enough to handle steering wheel
and a girl at the same time.

Instructions
ON Ice Box
by Expert

"Your ice box is the summer busi-
ness center of your kitchen" says
Edith H. Mason of the New York
State College of Home Economics.
at is most economical to keep it
filled with ice. The highest daily
temperature of an average refriger-
ator is about So degrees F., and bad
insulation of an ice box is not neces-
sarily the only explanation Of ex-
cessive melting Of ice; poorly fitting
doors or many trips to the ice box
are frequent but easily corrected
causes.
THE most important requisite for
an efficient ice box is cleanliness.
Instead of wrapping vegetables in
paper or towels, they should be kept
in china or glass containers, and
strongly favored foods, such as
cheese, should be carried on the top
racks of the ice box.
MANY people have the notion that
acid foods kept in tin cans leads to
ptomaine poisoning. But all non
acid foods are equally susceptible to
ptomaine if kept too long, whether
in tin or glass.

jectionable odors from an ice box.
Uncooked foods and fish are suscep-
tible to spoilage and should be

frigerator as possible, and fish espe-
cially, should be kept in a tightly
covered dish. Eggs, contrary to gen.
eral opinion, do not spoil readily, so
they may be placed abole the meat
with the cooked foods, provided
these do not have decided odor or
flavor.

says this expert, when everyone
prefers fruit and vegetables, it re-
quires little planning to eliminate
cooking at least three days a week.
Extra food prepared on the cooking
days may be served cold as salads or

European Note
i'm Decorating
american Homes

European styles which most influ-
ence American house decoration are
naturally the ones which show them
selves most adaptable to modern
conditions as whole.
From England we find the Geor-
gian Period including varied elegant
styles which are good in design and
quite adaptable to our conditions
From France we choose Louis XIV as
the style with more attractions
Both styles are of the later arr in
fluenceS.
But when turning to Italy and
Spain we find that the most adapt
able styles to our conditions &C.
CURED back in the Renaissance and
in Italy the early Renaissance
more SO than in what was termed
the high Renaissance"
There is exquisite charm in Vene-
tian furniture, and it is suitable to
smaller and more effeminate rooms
The Early Renaissance furniture is
heavier in scale and requires back
ground of larger scale.
A most artistic application of the
Italian style may be a dining-room
whose walls are parchment colored
rough plaster, a stenciled border in
brown and black. One may refer to
the Loggia of the Villa Madame to
find endless motifs for this type of
applied design. The woodwork could
be stained dark walnut with a waxed
finish; on the windows Italian cut
work curtains with hanging of
gold italian brocatelle. The furni-
ture should be true in style-a table
chairs and credenza; Italian blue
glass and red damask or brocade
wall hangings. old paintings find
happiness in these surroundings.

Too Why's of
Male Dislike
for Women

FIR 'eavens sake! We women must
be careful of our saggy stockings
and crooked seams if we count the
opinion of these men more than 2
cents worth.
What do the men in your offices
and places of business or the men
you meet socially dislike most about
a woman's appearance?
Have you ever heard them BOLDLY
discussing what they don't like about
modern women, any woman for that
matter? You should hear them talk
when they get started.
And three guesses what is the one
thing they dislike most.
Crooked stocking seams and boy

Desserts For Children

Sherbets made from fruit juices,
as lemon, orange, raspberry, grape
or cherry, are much more suitable
as war weather dessert for chill
dren, than is ice cream. Frozen
custard made of milk and eggs also
is refreshing. But since frozen des-
serts always contain more sugar
than those thickened with eggs,
gelatine or cornstarch, they should
not be used more than once or twice
a week for little children. On the
other hand, the cool. but not iced
fruit drinks may be given freely
They should contain as little sugar
as can be used to make them palat-
able.
