beaten the fact that the wooden spoon
weighs very little makes it possible to
beat the batter more briskly for q
longer time without fatigue than when
a sufficiently heavy metal spoon is
used. Moreover, in beating butter and
sugar mixtures the black from a metal
spoon may come of, while the clean
wooden spoon does not have this dis
advantage.
Some cooks prefer old-fashioned iron
pots and pans to new type Of aluminium
or enamel ware. It is true that heavy
metal utensils retain the heat better
than lighter ones and are therefore
better adapted to long slow cooking. At
present there are cast aluminium uten-
sis that have this advantage without
the disadvantages of the iron sort when
1t comes to cleaning up.
French cooks cling persistently to their
utensils of copper. Some of them in
sist that they are necessary to good
cooking. The great disadvantage in
these copper utensils is that If they are
not secured very thoroughly and kept
spotlessly clean they may produce poison
in the food that comes in contact with
them

Only Two Players
Two men figure in the picture. I
forget the names. but one is merely q
Hash. It is really the closing incident
in a mans existence. The actors were
not famous in the gelatin village, but
the main character gave such q con-
Vincing portrayal of the varying emo
tions that pass through the human
mind In its closing moments as to fas--
cinate the audience to the exclusion OF
everything else. The single reel has no
titles, and is made without sound. You
miss neither The intent Of this strange
little bit is unmistakable, and the sin
Cerity Of the finished work Is obvious.
The camera Is used as q means Of re-
cording q slice Of life.
The greatest emotional effect In the
picture is when the man, horrible In
his anguish, runs toward the camera
for some 10 minutes, the camera the
while receding. 1t makes every one In
the audience writhe at their impotence
TO help this harassed and pitiable creA-
ture, half mad and with a great knot
of rope dangling from his neck.
Either consciously or not, Vidor has
done the trick used by some Of the
1kreatest masters OF the stage. This
making the audience an active par

Last Thing ct Night.

No matter how hate It Is, nor how
tired you are, you must give yourself
certain simple beauty treatments at
bedtime if you want to keep q smooth
complexion, fresh, we'll nourishetl, I'M
wrinkled skin around your eyes, young
and thick hair all your life and young.
smooth hands.
The complexion needs a thorough
cleansing. It does not matter much
whether you cleanse it with a lather
of soap suds or with cleansing cream
or a combination of both, as long ras
the pores OF the skin are freed of every
trace Of powder, cream, rouge, as well
as dust and dirt. Once 1t is clean, you
can decide whether to coat it with
nourishing cream to avoid q dry COM
plexion, to treat wrinkles and to pre-
serve its young looks, or whether you
leave 1t as 1t is. In any case, I'd adj
wise little massage with the hands to
stimulate circulation. And at this time,
I'd advise indicated cream for erup-
lions, If you're unfortunate enough to
have any.
This face treatment includes the neck
and the chin line, by the way. It takes
no extra time and It means that your
neck as well e. your face is fresh and
young looking.
Then there are scalp treatments. A
hair tonic should be used once or twice
2 week, whether the hair seems to need
1t or not. It keeps hair from getting
gray before Its time, II used throughout
the period when the scalp is still young
ana vigorous. And ON the nights when
no tonic Is used, 0 quick rub with the
fingers viii make the whole head feel
fresh and exhilarated.
After the hands have been scrubbed
with nail brush. they should be rub
bed with good hand lotion. The nails
should be rubbed with cold cream and
the cuticle pushed back with an orange
wood stick. A minute given to filing
with an emery board will keep them
well shaped. and insure nice, well mani
cured fingernails for the busy morning
next day.

Infantile Paralysis.

things with her feet. She can put the

legged when she begins to walk. She
is 10 months old now. How can I get
her out of the habit? MRS. M"
Don't try to get her out Of the habit,
Mrs. M. She's quite an accomplished
child. That's little form of exercise
Of her own devising.
when my boy was years old, he
contracted infantile paralysis and his
leg has been thinner ever since. He is
now years old and for the last six
months the tendons have been growing
shorter at the back of his heel so that
he limps. Will he outgrow this. or is
there something we can do for it?
MRS. 81
No. dear Mrs. s.. he won't outgrow
it. 1t will continually get worse unless
he has the proper treatment. But you
shouldn't be trying to do anything for
him by yourself. He should be under the
care Of an orthopedic surgeon. Too bad
he hasn't been having treatments since
he had the disease. The deformities of
infantile paralysis are much lessened by
proper treatment. It may be possible
that he may now need an operation to
lengthen the tendons but, at any rate.
