1t is important to keep in mind the
variations in cream. What Is known
as thin cream is practically the top of
milk and is suitable for serving with
cereals. Heavy cream Is for those
who wish to increase their intake of
butter fat, materially; while whip
ping cream is usually considered IN
connection with desserts.
Nhae 1t Is true that practically ali
fruits and vegetables are alkaline in
their final reaction, it is also true that
II we wish to bring up the diet in this
particular with special prominence,
certain fruits and vegetables are more
helpful than others. For example, po-
tatoes, melon, apricots and peaches
are of special value in this particular.
Scraping beef removes the hard
fibers and presents only the pulp. This
form of meat is especially valuable
for invalids and children.
In serving clans, remember that
the hard part may be somewhat indi-
gestible. Both oysters and CLAIMS
should be prepared carefully according
to the digestive ability of those who
are to eat them.
Now that the season of small fruits
is near, remember that apples are
not the only fruit which make very
good Betty" Huckleberries, black
berries and practically all fruits may
be combined with breadcrumbs to
make delicious and very nourishing
puddings. These puddings offer an at
tractive way of using up leftover
bread and they also may bear an i'm

lating salts of the fruit all combine to
make what may be termed a balanced
dish.
The type OF bread served ct break
fast may well depend somewhat on
whether or not cereal is served. For
example, If for any reason it is de-
sirable to omit cereal, see that the
breakfast toast is of the hearty variety
such as graham, whole wheat or bran
If, on the other hand, hot cooked
variety is served, the toast may take
the form of thin slices of white bread

meal according to types of foods
served is a great help in concocting
both a palatable and nourishing menu.

Borrow Fashion Ideas From Men
BY MARY MARSHALL.

some women incorporate in their din
ner frocks now bear no resemblance
whatever to the somber garment
which first inspired them.
So it is that overblouses, jumpers,
slin-on blouses, etc, that women wear
at the present time might be traced
back to q masculine prototype. 1t was
back some time in the nineties that
women hit upon the bright idea of
wearing separate waists copied after
mems shirts. They called them
shirtwalsts, and at first they were
made with the conventional stiff cuffs
and collars--very much like those
worn by men.
The shirtwaist went through a
number of changes. 1t appeared as
the lingerie blouse. It was made with
short sleeves. long sleeves and no
sleeves at all--with high collars, at
taChed collars, detachable collars, con-
vertible collars, scarf collars and no
collars. For some years there was a
chance that it would go out of fash
ion entirely, but still 1t persisted be-
cause a certain minority of women
still felt that there was something con-
Venient in wearing. occasionally, q
separate skirt and blouse.
Now, in this Spring of 1927 the
separate blouse has returned--fav-
ored, of course. by the fact that the
tailored two-piece suit again finds
favor in the eyes of women. There
is no end to the variety of these new
blouses-lace blouses, linen blouses,
cotton blOuses. metal brocade blouses,
sweater blouses, blouses buttoned
down the front and blouses that slip
on over the head. But the rather sim
ply designed blouse of crepe de chine
or some other washable or easily
cleaned silk--untrimmed, usually. save
for tucks or pleats--has so far proved

Your friend, like a great many other
housekeepers, is evidently confused in
this matter In the first place, if you
do serve potatoes, it is not absolutely
necessary that you provide a so-called
starchy food like rice and macaroni.
This question should be decided ac.
cording to the other materials repre-
sented in the menu. For instance, If
you have plenty of bread and butter
and, let us say, a starchy pudding,
like cornstarch or tapioca, you prob
ably will not interfere with the bal.
ance of your dietary by omitting a
starchy vegetable at dinner.
AS for your other question, rice and
macaroni should not be considered as
complete substitutes for potatoes. 1t
is true that they are like potatoes and
contain considerable starch, but it is
also true that potatoes contain impor-
tant elements not present in either
rice or macaroni. Mineral salts, very
necessary for the regulation of the
body, as well as alkaline elements,
make the potato especially valuable.

Avoiding the Issue.

Just one piece of old fashioned
advice today--don't avoid the issue.
when it's an important one.
It's the easiest thing we women
do nowadays. We hedge and lie
and avoid the truth and go on
building ourselves bigger and bigger
mounds of trouble.
We tell Roger that we can't go to
a dance with him because we've got
to dine with the family at Aunt
Amelias.
In reality. Larry has just come to
town for the week end and we don't
want to waste time on Roger while
we're able to see Larry.
Roger, being a nice little gentle
man, says: "Oh, all right. my girl.
I don't mind your breaking the date
If you're sure everything is all right
between US"
We know perfectly we'll that we've
long since ceased to love Roger. but
we can't hurt his feelings.
We know that we're going to
marry Larry at the earliest possible
date but it seems cruel to tell
Roger the brutal truth over the tele-
phone.
SO we hedge. This is the first
inkling Roger has given us that he's
really keen and If we promptly let
him know that we're not at all in
love with him, We'll stamp out the
spark of feeling before it bursts into
| flame.
But we prefer to tell the little lie
! And so the next time were dating
with Roger we find that We're on
| much more sentimental basis than
ever before.
H..
we're forced into more lodging of
the truth in order to avoid the issue.
Because he doesn't realize that we
break dates with him for other men
because we never deny the fact
that we may be in love with him,
too-he begins to take our consent
for granted.
And the matter becomes more
serious with every instant's silence
on our part.
From avoiding just the tiny issue
of broken date, we've let ourselves
drift into a position where a big
issue must be faced some day.
It's not the hardest thing in the
world to tell boy who's too much
in love with you that you're really
momentarily hurts his vanity, but
it doesn't leave a lasting hurt. For
if his infatuation's just begun, it may
collapse overnight.
But it's pesky business to have to
tell some nice man that you've been
letting him make fool of himself
over you-while you were perfectly
aware all the time where your affec.
tions were placed.
Understand, l don't mean that you
should all go around informing your
boy friends frankly that they stand
fifth on your list of prospects-but /
do mean that If any one of the youths
shows himself deeply enamored, it's
up to you to give him a warning sig.
nal that he can't ever rate as high
as he wants to.
Avoiding the issue Is only putting
off the bad day. If you have a dis
agreeable task to perform, perform
1t while it's still fairly light-don't
wait till it's grown heavy and dark
and altogether too important.

Q Finger Nail Spots .
BY n. IRVING KING

COMETIMES upon examining your
~ finger nails you will see a little
white spot which. as the nail grows.
moves slowl, toward the fingers end.
The superstitious will tell you that
the little. white spot means money
coming to you. due to arrive when the
white spot reaches the end of the nail
Ia very common superstition.
Sir Thomas Browne (1605-iGS2)
mentions it as being very ancient in
his day and ascribes its origin to the
tendency which people have to con-
slider any bodily symptom which they
do not understand as prophecy. The
british Apollo in 1908 published a
learned article scoffing at the super
stitution and explaining that the white
spots in the nails were "glittering
particles" generally mixed with the
red particles OF the blood, but which
had happened to get loose. Medical
science was evidently badly equipped
to battle with superstition In those
days.
But the superstition in question
dated away back into the primitive
ages when mans hair and nails. iiv-
ing and growing parts Of himself, were
held to be peculiarly connected with
his destiny. white spot slowly adj
vancing up the nail must mean some
thing: as the spot was white the
something was probably good. AS
