RIowinr ou, Bir,hdax candIe,

The blowing out of candles on a
birthday cake is more a superstition
or tradition than a matter of ETH
quette. Ghe object is to try to
blow the candles all out at one puff
of the breath instead of doing one
or two at time. If all are blown
out at once the person who does the
blowing will be married within the
year-so the saying goes. The num-
Der not extinguished indicates the
number of years before she will be
married.

Beauty Answers
Laughter and Beauty

Few women are beautiful while
laughing. Often they show too much
of the gum, or they show uneven
teeth or spaces on the side.
Go to your very good friend, the
mirror. Look carefully into it
while you experiment with your
laughing performance. If charming
keep it up, you are indeed fortunate (;
bst if otherwise, take heed.
Practice a smile before the mir
ror-one that does not tear away
the pleasing appearance of your
face in repOse. Take command of
your lips and do not allow a mo-
ment's hilarity to destroy the effect
of your otherwise appealing beauty.
p. B.: Use a depilatory to remove
the hair from the arms and legs. 1t
will return, of course, and require
occasional removal, but it is a sat-
isfactory measure of relief.
F. L. B.: For graduated eyelids
use a solution of one teaspoonful of
bicarbonate of soda to a glass of
warm water 1t will dissolve the
scales. Apply with piece of absor-
bent cotton.
Miss J. j.: A good pure CASTLE
soap is usually recommended for
shampooing purposes. Reduce the
soap to liquid form. Add little Of
the liquid to the first water and
scalp Wash in second soapy
water. Then rince in two warm
rinsings, at least.
Pauline c.: 1t is necessary to keep
the tongue clean to protect the teeth,
as it collects bacteria near the root.
cleanse the tongue with tooth brush
and tooth paste. Fruit acids cleanse
the tongue.
Jeanne c.: Depilatories may be
used for removing of hair from the
legs. They will not remove the hair
permanently, but they will give re-
| lief. There are many good, and of
sourse some poor depilatories on the
market. It is advisable to purchase
the product of a reliable manufac-
turer.
C. E.: Some of the younger girls
are allowing their hair to grow, but
the bob is still popular. 1t is a
matter of choice. There is the un-
manageable stage to pass through
when the hair is too long to look nice
as bob and too short to do up.
You just have to make the best of
this period.

Stuffed Pear Salad

Peel large, ripe pears or use well
drained canned pears; cut in halves
and remove the cores. If You use
fresh pears cook in water and little
lemon juice, adding enough red col
oring to tint them. Cook until ten,
der, drain and cool. Then stuff the
pears with chopped fruits and nuts,
mixed with mayonnaise. Serve with
French dressing or with mayonnaise
to which an equal amount of whipped
cream has been added.
Grapefruit Salad
Arrange sections of grapefruit on
individual salad plates to make a
half sphere. Around it place half
leaves of lettuce to form border.
Over the lettuce and close to the
grapefruit make a wreath of shreds
of celery which have been curled by
standing in water. Pour over the
salad a glace fruit dressing. The
sweet fruits blend well with the acid
of the grapefruit and the colors lend
decorative touch.
Glace Fruit Dressing: 0ne-half
teaspoon of salt, one-eighth teaspoon
of paprika, two tablespoons of olive
oil and one tablespoon of glazed
cherries, one tablespoon of glazed
plums and one tablespoon of glazed
apricots, cut in pieces, are the mate
rails needed. Make a French dress
ing of the first four ingredients and
then add the glazed fruits. Pour
over the salad.
A Glorified Salad
Soak three tablespoons of gelatin
in one-half cup of cold water for
five minutes. Then dissolve it in one
half cup of vinegar and one-half cup
of water which have been brought to
the boiling point. Let the mixture
stand until cool.
Chop six hard-cooked eggs, a few
sweet pickles, two pimientoes and a
little parsley. Season with salt and
pepper and stir in one-half cup of
mayonnais. Add this to the colled
gelatin, mix well, pour into ring
mold which has been rinsed in cold
water and let stand in a cold place
until firm.
When ready to serve, unmold, fill
the center with any salad desired-a
salmon and celery salad is delicious
and garnish with parsley.

ing purposes, put a teaspoonful of

Hints on Cooking

To sweeten new milk: Milk which
has been slightly changed may be
sweetened by stirring in little soda.
Poaching eggs: A teaspoonful of
vinegar in water in which eggs are
poached keeps the whites from
spreading. Vinegar also makes the
whites cook over the yolk.
To prevent the odor of boiling
ham or cabbage: A few pepper pods
or bits of charcoal in the pot will
prevent this odor, or a little vinegar
added to the cabbage serves the same
purpose and adds to the flavor.
To cut Iiiarshmallows: Dip the
scissors in cold water and the work
can be done very easily.

The Cook Says:

If your brown sugar has become
lumpy, place the sugar IN warm
oven for a few minutes.
Cooked, mashed prunes stirred IN
to the children's cereal just before
serving it will add nutriment and

act as a light laxative. :,

fore cleaning the stove, rub the stain

Household Hints
To Clean Yellow Lace

Pour gasoline into an earthen
crock, enough to cover the lace.
Shake it about in the liquid, rubbing
soiled spots gently between the
hands; immerse the lace fully in
the liquid, cover the crock and leave
for five or six hours. When the
lace is dry and odorless, lay it on
a clean cloth spread over board and
dampened slightly.
The lace, however, must be pull
ed into shape with the fingers while
it is still damp. II it is wide, haste
it to thick dampened cloth, setting
a stitch for every scallop and figure.
Press with a warm iron.
