sonal point of view, preferences and
prejudices to take into consideration.
You cannot please every one, yourself
included. But If your friends won't or
cannot be broadminded and generous
in their attitude toward clothes at least
you can make q brave attempt to be so
yourself
Possibly you yourself are inclined to
favor clothes of extreme simplicity.
Such a point Of view has advantages.
It at least saves you from the danger
of dressing in an overfussy manner.
But do remember that the charm and
advantage of changes of fashion lie In
the effect of variety they produce, and
right now fashion favors rather more
ornate clothes than she has for many
seasons. Dent be too sure that you
cannot wear frills and hounces and
furbelows and jabots until you have
tried. They may prove becoming and
f1attering.
The ornament shown in today's sketch
would have been considered very much
too ornate a few years ago, but 1t lends
a softening effect that may to be your
advantage. -,
It is made of double pieces OF silk,
of two colors, cut oval like the pattern
and scanned up baglike and then turned

handed and each oval is gathered along
the top and fastened to ribbon or a
loop of the material, as the sketch
shows.

That's a remarkable career. The
woman who did that has really ire
mendous ability.
The same is true Of Alma b. At IS
she found that her elderly husband had
lost all his money. She had no train
ing Of any kind. The only thing she
had was the ability to dress well. In
the course of buying and planning her
own clothes she had shown consider
able talent, and that talent she decided
to use. She got Job on q fashion
paper, and her sense of clothes was so
remarkable that she made a brilliant
success and was for years one Of the
outstanding people in the fashion world
of New York.
It's very important for you to try to
find out what special ability you have,
If any; what you love to do most, If
possible, and then, II you can, get work
where your special talent will have q
chance.
It must be said, however, that this
fashion woman didn't make any con-
siderable money until she added train
ing to her talent.
The real secret of both these women
lay in executive ability. Good execu-
tives are rare, but they win always make
their own place. The troublc e that
it's hard to get a job as an executive
until you have done something else.
People are not likely to put you at the
head of a department OF business until
you have worked in it awhile.
If you take responsibility, you lns2
make a good executive; If you don't,
you won't If you find it necessary to
scream at people to make them do
what you want. you are not a good
executive. If you prefer to take orders,
you will not be a good executive.
The good executive begins to show
ner tendencies early. She's usually
leader in children's games. If they play
school she wants to be teacher.
If you are a good executive, you
needn't worry about how you are going
to get ahead. Just take the first Job
that appeals to you-if possible in q
place where there are a number of
people-and you will work your way to
an important position inevitably, with
out any special effort on your part.
Nobody will have to tell you what to do.

Erin's Salad Is Green

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Mrs Lacey had been so busy plan
ming the entertainment for her daugh-
ter's st. Patrick'S day party that she
almost forgot to put any thought onto
the refreshments. She decided on a
white and green salad with white and
green sandwiches. She had number
of ideas for the salad. First she thought
Of using cottage cheese, mixing it light
ly with heavy cream and then adding
finely chopped chives to it. She also
considered green pepper or parsley as
the green note with the cottage cheese.
Had the group been made up Of older
folks she would doubtless have used
that salad. but some way she feared
that children would not care for cottage
cheese. It would seem too ordinary to
them. Her next idea was to use
green pepper from which she had re-
moved top, core and pepper seeds. Into
this she would pack cream or Phila-
delphia cheese. After chilling for IL
hours the pepper could be sliced thinly
and the shamrock-like green pepper
rings encasing the cheese would be laid

IN the circulation of blood through the

on the circulation Of blood through the
scalp.
In conditions of lowered vitality this
circulation becomes impaired and the
sebaceous glands become either over
active or idle. The hair is then cor
respondingly too oily or too dry. For
both these conditions the constitutional
treatment is the same. BY means Of
adequate rest, sleep, fresh air, sunshine
and exercise the body must be restored
to its normal tone.
The question has often been discussed
as to why badness is so much more
prevalent among men than among
women. The chief reason Is heredity,
but there are other factors. Women
usually take better care of their hair
than men do. Dandruff and the daily
use of water on the hair tend to make
it scanty. Few men brush their hair
sufficiently, so that the scalp Is not
kept in flexible condition. To prevent
badness, regular massage of the scalp
is of great value, as by this means the
circulation at the roots is improved.
Premature badness sometimes comes
as q result of nervous disorders or feverS
and the hair reappears when the general
health improves. Hair tonics are waltz
able because their use necessitateS rub
bling and massage of the scalp; also
because they have a cleansing action
and contain stimulating ingredients like
capsicum.
The scalp should receive special care
In such cases. A daily massage with
castor or olive oil and weekly warm oil
treatments will gently stimulate the new
growth.
For an oily scalp the scalp tonic
should be made with a small percentage
of alcohol as base, while for the over

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
When You Add Salt.

Should you salt the water in which
vegetables are cooked before cooking?
Should you cook them in clear water
and then salt the vegetables afterward?
Or should you wait until the vegetable
is half cooked and then salt the cook
ing water?
Authorities differ in this matter, and
If the matter makes any difference in
the final tenderness of the vegetable
it is so slight as to be difficult to agree
upon. So it may be left to your own
individual taste.
Most persons agree that potatoes are
more palatable cooked in unsalted water
That is, the flavor seems better when
the salt is added after they are cooked
Remember that less salt should be
added to the quart of water If you wish
to have the water boil down as the
vegetables cook.
If well sailed water has evaporated
it is well to bring it back to its normal
amount by adding more fresh water be-
fore the cooking process has finished.
This will clear up the too salty flavor
that would otherwise result.

carefully on a bed Of shredded lettuce.
Her next idea was fruit salad which
could really serve as dessert as well.
This would call for a fruit-flavored
gelatin, probably a lime-colored one
Being pale green in color it would not
be necessary to add coloring matter.
Into this well favored mixture Of dis
solved gelatin she planned to imbed
seeded Malaga grapes, carpets Of grape
fruit, quarters Of canned pears and
finely chopped celery. BY rubbing the
mold lightly with oil and then putting
in just enough dissolved gelatin to make
a thin layer she could cool it quickly
When partially CONCEALED she laid in
the fruit in a pattern. A little more
gelatin was poured in. This was al
lowed to CONCEAL. Then another layer
OF fruit was put in. The whole mixture
was then covered with the remainder
Of the dissolved gelatin and the mold
was set away to harden. When I'M
nodded the white fruits showed through
the pale green gelatin. Mrs. Lacey did
not put the mold onto lettuce leaves,
but laid them around the base. This
prevented the mold from breaking be-
cause of its uneven bed of lettuce. With
this salad she passed mayonnaise into
which whipped cream had been folded.

Everyday Psychology

Materials of Mind.

When the human mind is regarded
as an object of study in the same sense
as other natural things, the question OF
materials is raised. What are the raw
materials out of which the finer mind
stuff is woven?
This raw material has been accumu-
lating for ages. In the order OF their
appearance, they seem to be:
/. The self-preServative impulse ana
its companion emotion called fear.
2. The instinct to repel the I'M
pleasant, and a companion emotion
called disgust.
8. The tendency to show curiosity,
and its emotional companion called
wonder.
4. The impulse to fight, and its
emotional companion called anger.
S. An awareneSs of the sense of self,
and a feeling Of either inferiority or
superiority.
s. An impulse to perpetuate the
race, and its companion emotion called
tenderness.
7. The tendency. to form groups, and
its emotional companion known as
feeling of safety.
8. The tendency to collect and hoard,
with the companion sense of pride.
9. The impulse to construct, and its
companion emotion called the viii to
attain power.

Broiled Chickens.

When dressing broilers, split them
down the back, spread apart, and wipe
carefully with a damp cloth. Using
pastry brush, rub over with melted
butter, other shortening, or a cooking
oil. Olive oil may be used If you prefer.
Sprinkle the flesh side with salt, pepper,
little paprika and celery salt. Also
sprinkle on some minced parsley, and
over all squeeze the juice of lemon.
Heat the boiling pan and arrange
the chicken, skin side down, on the
creased rack, making sure that it is
well spread apart so that the parts
do not touch. Scar the surface for
five minutes, then turn and cook the
skin side thoroughly, or until the skin
is well Drowned. Turn and complete
the broiling. Thirty minutes Is about
the right time for broiling a chicken,
although sometimes the cooking is
completed in 20 minutes.

NV Neighbor Says:

When paint brushes have been
laid aside for some time they
become very hard and dry. To
remedy this, heat vinegar to the
boiling point and immerse the
brushes. Then allow them to
simmer for about is minutes or
more In strong Soapsuds, and
they will be as good as new.
When using walnutS in cook
ing, crush them with a rolling
pin. It saves much time and is
as satisfactory as cutting with a
knife.
To keep parsley fresh put the
stems In a glass Of water, to
which a slice of lemon or one
teaspoon Of vinegar has been
added.
A teaspoon Of vinegar mixed
into frosting will keep 1t from
breaking when cut.
