DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


~ What Is an entree? When
Is it served? Of what does 1t
consist? Should 1t be served hot
or cold?
HOUSEKEEPER.
An entree is a dish that is
served as an independent course
between the main courses Of
meal. It is characterized as
Eight" food, and the service Of
an entree is not bulky. 1t is
usually accompanied by a sauce
which may or may not be an
integral part of the dish.
Entrees may be made Of eggs,
of fish Of all kinds, of meat such
as lamb, veal and tender cuts Of
fowl and beef cooked in some
other way than roasting, fresh
vegetables and some fruits.
An entree of protein food-eggs.
for instance-may take the place
Of the meat in the main course
of an informal meal. You will
notice this division, Entrees, on
restaurant menus.
An entree may be served either
hot-with, for instance, Holland.
aise sauce or butter sauce-or
cold with, for instance. vinaigrette
sauce.
An interesting thing has been
happening in America lately con.
corning vegetable entrees. Vege.
tables have always been served in
Europe as entrees, with the
sauces for which continental
cooks are famous. Then, too, it
is usually conceded that con.

1t is also true that constructive

When the skin is bathed each

IS A LITTLE more give and take
"A 10 all you need to make
your acting successful"
This was the kindly comment of
O seasoned actor on the work o.
q certain young and inexperienced
actress.
A little more give and take
would also transform many q
love affair from failure to sue
cess, salvage many a marriage.
Just what is this give and take,
which means so much to the sue
cess of romance?
We are all of us in this world
as dependent on each other as
! bricks in a wall. And, Of course,
this is especially true OF q man
and girl who love each other and
plan to join their lives through
marriage, as it is also OF families.
Since we are dependent on each
other for our welfare and happi-
ness, we must constantly give
way to the wishes and ideas OF
others, giving up our own pref
erences, or at least compromis-
ing good-humoredly. The person
who gives way most gracefully
and considerably is usually the
best loved.
"I take pleasure in presenting"
we are all familiar with the
courteous phrase. II you take
real pleasure in presenting or CIV
ing, you have learned the secret OF
give and take, that open sesame to
successful marriage.
A friend of mine who has been
delightfully."- happy through over
95 years of married life told me
the other day that she attributed

When you were tired at the
end of the day. did you ever try
the delightful experience of draw

ter, scattering some family per-
fumed bath salts into it and get.
ting in to rest and relax? A lazy
bath of this kind. followed by
half an hours nap. will lift years
from a woman's shoulders.
The warm bath soothes and re.
lakes tired nerves and gives a
soft glow to the skin. Be careful,
however. not to stay In the tub

If to take pleasure In giving is
necessary to lastingly happy ro-
nance, it is equally necessary to
accept favors and attentions from
each other with grace and charm.
And this applies even to taking
advice.

you wish to keep a man happily

And follow it-sometimes. There
is real pleasure in giving, real
joy in eager service. Do not
deprive the man who loves you
of the pleasure of showing you
the little attentions that indicate
his affection.
Give and take is merely the
secret of happy adjustment, If
you hope to wear the very crown
OF iffe's joy through successful

By far the best markets for Ameri-

touched by an industry too absorbed

Australia increased it's American
radio purchases from S2l0.214 in 1923.
when radio first began to enter the
export trade, to s1,304 .5S5 in 1925.
and during the first half OF this
wear the Australians have already
taken S7S9,S20 worth OF American
radio sets and equipment.
The latter half Of the year Is the
best radio selling season. so that d
big boom is anticipated in this trade.
New Zealand, liking American as
sembled sets better even than Aus
tralia. which imports mostly parts
and accessories, increased its imports
from SS3,426 in 1923 to $627,Z22 IN
1926, and for the first six months OF
