New York-The traditional three R's of learning-reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic--seem hopelessly old fashioned stacked up against news from the college front.
 Three 4C's now take the place of the old three R's, in the conversa- ton, if not the actual interest, of women collegiates.
 These three C's of college talk are cocktails, clothes and competi. tion-competition for social stand ing and dates!
 This, among other interesting flashes from the front, comes from a professional collegiate" the only one of her kind, Frances Lee. Miss Lee, herself only out of col- lege a couple of years, is fashion and beauty editor of national magazine and spends her time among girl students at different universities and colleges. She has visited 100 co-educational univer- sities and women's colleges, to date.
 "One question everybody asks me is whether there is more drinking at women's colleges or at co-educa- tional universities" Miss Lee told me. "The middle-western coed never fails to ask, Do girls in the east drink very much?' And the girl from a woman's college usually remarks, "Well, I'll bet those CO., eds drink lot!' Prohibition seems to affect colleges just as it does everything else"
 Clothes and Co-eds!
 Clothes play a much larger part in the life of the coed than the girl in a woman's college, in Miss Lees opinion.
 "There is an entirely different idea in mind when the coed plans her wardrobe from that that the eastern women's college girl has, she asserted.
 "At co-educational colleges girls dress for the men all the time and use makeup all the time. They go with more or less the same group of people all the time and are seen in more or less the same setting So their idea is to get as many changes of costume as possible for the money they have, so they can look different
 "Girls in women's colleges wear just any old tweed skirt and sweater blouse around the cam pus week days and then put all their money into one or two dead outfits for week. ends when they go to football games and house parties. They use no makeup during the week, but week-ends make up for lost time! They go to Yale one week, Harvard the next, Princeton the next, and so they can wear that one perfect weekend wardrobe over and over again and gain a reputation for being tremendously chic and well-dressed. Where Compensation Is Strongest "There is a further difference | in the attitudes in the two types of colleges" Miss Lee continued. 'In co-educational places there Is a strong competition for clothes that eastern women's colleges lack entirely. Fur coats and diamond rings talk in the mid-western uni versailles. At the women's col leges, even the richest girls are not distinguishable from those at tending on scholarships. For mill lionaire daughters leave their jewels in the family vault when they go to college and would never dream of taking their ermine

The note said that the bearer was an accredited representative and that she would explain the purpose of her visit.
 "I think we should leave at once" Mrs Everett told the girl. "I have a car downstairs waiting and here is wrap and hat for you" She held up the coat she had been carrying over her arm. See how it fits" she added.
 In the gray coat and hat, with heavy trimmed spectacles over her eyes Norma could hardly recog- nize herself. The elevator operator did not give her second glance as she followed Mrs Everett into the car. The two women swept through the ground floor lobby and | out on the street.

 Norma stepped inside.
 The girl did not recognize the address she heard given to the driver but presently they were skimming out of downtown traffic and heading west. They drove along well-kept residential streets, | past massive apartments.

 The taxi halted before a five story apartment building. Mrs Everett paid the driver and led the way inside. My rooms are on the second floor" she said. q usually walk instead of taking the ele- vator."

 She chatetred on as though the girl were an old friend come to pay a social visit.
 Mrs Everett" Norma said, wont you tell me who you are and how Mir Flynn happened to send me here?"
 The woman smiled. i've worked with Mir Flynn for years" she said. He doesn't want you to be worried or frightened before the investigation next week. Of course I don't think there's anything real ly to be frightened about. Maybe you'll feel more comfortable if told you that your friend Bob Farrell is going to call this even- ing"
 "Bob's coming here?"
 Mrs Everett nodded. You've plenty of time for warm bath, she suggested. "Why don't you take one and then lie down for a little while. With such nice young man coming you'll want to look your prettiest!"

"You think that you wouldn't talk things over, don't you, Sue? I thought so too," Grace was say ing. "But sometimes, when some- thing has just upset you, you feel better when you hang it out in the sunshine"
 What happened, Grace?" Sar- ah asked, playing with the choco- late sauce on her mint ice cream.
 There was tea one afternoon. I was invited. A famous foreign architect was in town. Jimmy was asked, too. And somehow or other the invitations were delivered by telephone. .Jimmy's at the office. Mine at home. Secretaries ought to be instructed to say, oh, by the way, MT Jones or Smith, your wife will be there, also.' Maybe the ex- pensive ones are.

 Jimmy wasn't there. l was having a nice time, and the party was grand and I had almost for gotten that I had a husband when he come. And with him was the charming young widow.

She measured one and one-half cups of canned pumpkin. She could have prepared her own but she felt it was no economy to do so.
 She used one-half cup sugar. She measured one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon cinnamon salt, one teaspoon cinnamon and one half teaspoon ginger and put it with sugar. Then she added one-quar- ter cup mild molasses and stirred this into pumpkin. She broke two eggs, separated yolks from whites, She added yolks to mixture, then two cups of milk. She folded in stiffly beaten egg whites. This mix ture was put into unbaked shell and into custard cups or ramekins and baked. The pie went in oven of 45O degrees, stayed there for ten minutes. Then heat was lowered to 325. custards were put in and at that temperature custards and pie were baked for about forty min utes or until silver knife blade in- serted in custard comes out clean.

There are many important nome treatments' for your hair in addi- ton to shampooing, massaging. and brushing. Even if you wash your hair regularly and massage and brush it daily, you probably feel at times that it needs something to 'tone it up," to remove the ex- cess oil and make 1t shiny and healthy.
 Ordinary table salt may be the answer to your problem. It is ex- ceptionally good for oily hair and also for a scalp which needs stim- ulation. Comb or brush your hair until it is not tangled; take d shaker filled with coarse table salt and generously sprinkle all of the hair and scalp with it. Then comb your hair. The salt will seem partly to have disappeared. which is due to the oil. Comb as much of it'out as will come easily without digging into your scalp with the comb and then saturate the scalp with tonic intended for correction of oily hiar. Sit in the sunshine for an hour, if it's at all possible, and then shampoo. The consistent use of salt before your shampoo will, in time, almost entirely do away with an oily con- dition. Don't massage the salt in- to your scalp after you have shak- en it on; simply leave it on few minutes and then comb it out.
 Hair which starts to get thin around the temples and forehead should be given immediate. atten-. ton. Your "crowning glory" won't be very glorifying if it has almost disappeared from around your face by the time you are 40. It is no great wonder that II starts to get thin in these spots, considering the amount of abuse they suffer. Every time you wash your face some of the water and soap sticks on the hair around the temples and forehead and you for fear of spelling a wave. Un- less you pin a towel tightly around your head before you start to use your creams, lotions. powders and other cosmetics, they also stick on your hair and tend to make it brittle and lifeless. About twice a week, after your nightly brushing, take a little bit of a nourishing hair dressing and rub 1t on your hair and don't brush or comb your hair after you use it. Select a reliable, rich brand. heavy with "hair food" and try using it twice week. You'll notice how much brighter. healthier and more lux uriouS the hair around your face will become.

Halloween means cider, dough- nuts, popped corn balls and pump kin. pie. Pumpkin pie is usually a great favorite with the men folks. Not only do they want 1t on Hal- lowe'en but on /sny other autumn days as well.
 Children fare rather sadly. at least so they think, when they are forbidden the same dessert as that given to the grown ups.
 Mrs Lacy solved the difficulty by making pumpkin pie in regular fashion for the adults and then baking pumpkin custards for the children. The filling is just the same. After all, pumpkin pie fill ing is nothing but a we'll seasoned custard with milk, eggs, some pumpkin for filler and little spice for flavor.
 When Mrs Lacey made the pie for every day occasions she did rot use her pet recipe. It was too rich and too expensive. She kept that for special occasions.
 Here is the cheaper and simpler filling that she used.
