No matter how tired you are at bed

so exhausted you can't use cold
cream, which IL the most completely
cleansing treatment there is, take
your Turkish bath towel and rub the

PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD

In a holiday week we use eggs a
little more freely than during some
Of the recent ones. For example,
-creamed eggs are combined with
several dishes throughout the week.
and creamed eggs lend themselves to
any number of different combina-
tons.
Lovers of Thackeray and several
writer's about French cooking will
have had at least a literary intro
duction to bouillabaisse. This dish
IS so savory and SO nourishing that
We may do we'll to follow the French
custom of. letting it stand as the
chief part of a simple meal.
We are combining Northern and
Southern habits with the use of
hominy. For instance. it is used
FOR one breakfast as a cereal accord
ing to the Northern custom and later
the cold cooked honliny is used. as a
vegetable with the chicken a la
Southern hospitality.
1t has already been pointed out
that nodded rice with fruit sauces
is an adaptable dish. 1t is. in fact,
so adaptable that it deserves fur
Their and more detailed comment.
,Eor example, instead of the rice, one
may use nodded cornstarch, tapioea
or junket AS for the fruit sauces,
these are limited only by the con-
tents of one store closet. Straw
berry sauce is particularly delicious,
but so are raspberry, huckleberry,
plum, blackberry and, in fact, any of
the small fruits.

mer fashion. for many women put
their lovely. ostrich feather fans
away in tissue paper during the warm
months. If they use a fan at all it Is
a strictly useful fan of the sort that
thoughtful hostesses provide with
books and magazines and cooling
drinks for the comfort of Summer
guests. These fans are chosen to tone
with the general color scheme OF the
room or veranda where they are to be
found You would hardly think of
carrying a fan in Summer.
The feather fans that women carry
in the Winter one hardly thinks of in
connection with their original purpose
of providing a breeze. But that may
not have been the first use to which
fan was put. In Oriental countries
slaves used to spend their waking
hours waving enormous fans to keep
the flies and other insects from dis
turbing and stinging men and women
of wealth and high rank. In modern
life screens have put the original fan
wielders out of business. But the sort
of fan they used has not been forgot
ten and some of the newest one-spoke
feather fans that are considered the
latest fashion this Winter look like
miniature editions of the enormous
fans that were once kept in motion
over the lovely head of Cleopatra or
of the Queen of Sheba.

Then again the trick of arrange
ment. and presentation may be
varied. Sometimes the molds may
be individual and served on individ-
ual glass plates with the fruit border
properly arranged. On another occa-
sion the desert may be nodded In one
large dish and served on platter with
the border as usual. Again, the tiny
molds may be served individually
and the sauce passed so that each
guest may decide the amount of fruit
That he likes, and so on. The chief
dee to be emphasized here is the
fact that many simple foods lend
themselves to many different COM
binations and methods of serving.
One day a main dish is composed
of rice with cheese and brown gravy.
This is q dish that resulted from the
lAbors of social worker who once
faced Mother Hubbard's cupboard!
The family in question had a little
rice. bit of suet and a. small piece
of very dry cheese. So the rice was
boiled until each kernel was dry;
the suet was was melted and
Drowned with flour SO as to make
the body for a brown gravy. Boil
ing water was poured on the brown
flour and suet and the whole sauce
Favored with onion. The cheese was
grated fine and stirred through the
hot rice so carefully that no Jumps
were visible. In fact, the rice and
cheese. were blended in a creamy
whole and the brown sauce was
poured over all. The man of the
house came in and said, Where did
you get the nice meat? The dish
was so savory that it has been kept
and adapted for the use Of more
prosperous families.

MY Neighbor Says:

Ninety per cent of the apples
that rot in storage are damaged
by blue mold, which could do no
harm If the skins were whole.
Bruises, fingernail cuts. stem
punctures and scab spots give
the spores a foothold for their
destructive work.
If a woman spends 1900 hours
a year at work in the kitchen,
doesn't she deserve to have
sinks and tables at the right
height?
Wet the ashes you put on ice
on sidewalks so they will not
blow away.
Save all the small scraps of
candles. Put them into a little
cotton cloth bag. Put this on
the ironing table and occasion
ally pass the iron over it. 1t
will prevent the iron from stick
ing.
The addition of little kero-
sene, to starch as 1t is cooking
makes ironing easier. Waxed
cracker boxes are splendid for
polishing hot irons.
If a funnel is placed over a
tuInbler and the eggs are
cracked into it, one at a time,
it is easy to keep yolk and white
apart as the white runs down
into the glass and yolk can be
tilted out of the top.

then? The loving heart and the open
homestead avail nothing for him. AS
I see it in the light Of our Lord s
teaching, no man is really lost in this

bilities for good are left in him. But
no mortal can predict that these pos
