Nancy's stay at the hospital had delayed the doing of many routine pieces of work. Usually her Christ mas cakes were made in Novem- Der. This year 1t seemed as if she never could get at them. Lois prom ised to come over with her young daughter Andy" to spend the day. Andy was young Peter's adoring slave and baby Sue slept and ate and lived according to schedule. Thank goodness for the good start she had at the hospital" Nancy always said.
 The grocery order had been giv- en and delivered the day before Lois came. That same evening Nancy had washed the raisins and entrants and dried them in the warming oven. She was using sliced citron and fruit peels. Had she purchased the peel in bulk she would have warmed 1t in the oven before putting 1t through the chop per or before slicing it.

It really is amazing how lovely an evenly tanned skin can look and yet how apalling skin that has brown splotches here and there.
 Probably one reason in the dif- ferent reactions we have to these two lies in the fact that the for mcr usually accompanies buoyant health and life in the open and the latter comes from bad health. Those brown splotches that you may have been worrying about probably are liver spots. This means that your digestion is not working 100 per cent perfectly. Circulation is clogged. Your whole system is thrown out and tho brown spots are danger sig nals that your body is throwing out.
 The first thing, therefore. to do for such spotches is to regulate your health. More sleep, simpler | diet, more exercise. You must at- tack this kind of complexion from | within. If you do not succeed yourself, see Il physician. You may need n stricter regime than you know yourself and he will put you on 1t.
 If your skin merely looks dlngy. that is another mntetr. Usually this comes from two things, both of which can be aided. First, your skin may not be clean as 1t can be- and it probably isn't or you wouldn't have this continued dingy look. Second, your skin may need n little stimulation to get the cir cuiation going good.
 | Neither Of these things is diff. ficult. Both require n strict daily routine for bcauty's sake. only such Il routine can give you what l you want,

Ruth knew that Dr Raynor was treating her in a manner that did, mt mean n thing. He was being gay and teasing and botherly. It was like the old days in n way. Not quite, though. She wanted so much more now.
 He didn't care about taking her to the dance, as far ns any per- sonal interest was concerned. But she was there, and he worked with her and Mad liked her in a companionable way once and so. :.
 Maybe he wanted to make Sally Jealous. She knew how the blue eyes would widen when she came in. Ruth hadn't gone to a country club since she had left finishing school. Sally's life was a contin- ual stepping to music = saxo- phones and comets and cellos.
 "I'll go," Ruth said quickly. Give me 10 minutes to change
 Upstairo she didn't stop to think. She knew that she would change her mind if she did. Her own wardrobe contained no party frocks. She opened the door of Sally's, and soft perfumes that belonged to clinging silks and crushed lips and star-lighted lun- acy and everything else happy and foolish drlfted out. Very quickly Ruth chose slender, golden gar ment; jewel belted, though the jewels were only glass. It molded her slim young body like n golden candle. She dusted more powder on her smooth white neck and shoulders. But her shoes!
 They were important. "Cin-

 Ruth found velvet wrap. of a rich shade. Then she deepcned the flood of color in her cheeks and her lips. The eyes that had been q patient brown were glow Ing pools of darkness. The lips that had been tight were merely firm.
 My hair!" Swift hands went to 1t. It had been bobbed once. But she had let it grow. Now she had been catching it at her neck. though little rebelllous curls es- caped around her face. Sally had laughed at her.
 Your curls are out of date" she had said. "A marcel is the only thing to-day"
 But Ruth had an idea. She took the pins out. Her hair just reached her shoulders. It fell in an abandonment of black curls at her neck. It changed her com pletely.
 But I feel - undressed." she thought. Then she spoke out loud. "I feel more daring. Oh what will Sally sayY"
 Dr Raynor gave long. low whistle when he saw her. Ruth! Why in the name Of everything beautiful didn't you let me know you could look like that? You're n knockout! Walt till spring you on the stag line! You arc grand! l anticipate Il time and n half. Oh. by the way. you dance, don't you!"
 Ruth's castles started to go down. Ono by one. You dance. don't you!" But after all, she had never been included in the club dances. But he had danced with her in the hospital.
 1T mean the new steps that have been coming In. I never ace you places and l thought maybe you were out of practice" "I know with which foot to start and where to put my loft hand" she answered. But somt of tho magic of the not-yct- -begur evening was gone.

 His companion was quite young. She had yellow-brown hair that grew round her pale face in rather fantastic curls. Her eyes were vivid turquoise blue. Judy's chief impression of her was that she was bored, and that she looked cool on this Bultry day, gweltcred in trans- parent, black, with a large lace hat, and that she wore long strong of pearls of fabulous size.

 Vegetables must be chosen a5 much for their ease in preparation as for their cooking qualities. Of course canned ones are always at hand and thorough heating and careful seasoning makes them most palntable and acceptable.

All the vege- tables < uch as celery, tomatoes and carrots that can Do used with out cooking are n boon to the business woman who cooks.
 Salads nrc not difficult. although the choice is rather limited for Inst minute preparations. Lettuce. endive (both French and curly). romaine. Chinese cabbage and plain cabbage can bo used alone with a variety of dressings or as tho base for fruit and vegetable salads. It's n good plan to have tho salad materials ready to com bine. If the greens arc washed and criaped and tho dressing made little time is needed to mako up the salad. Always wash. drain and put into an air-tIght contnincr enough salad greens for several meals. This prevents thin dress ings and watery salads.
 Desserts are perhaps the hard est to plan. Simple buildings that are quickly stirred up and will bake while the dinner is being served are good during the win. ter months.

 Tn the dialogue between Eiiza- beth and her father one gets ms ideas of justification in his crneI and inhuman treatment or lns family.

 Every woman who combines housekeeping with other interests is beset by the problem of pre- parIng dinner with the least pos sible delay. It Is only by care fui planning that dinner can, be served 30 minutes after the cook steps into the kitchen.
 Ordinarily the dishes that can be cooked on top of the stove or broilcd in the broiler arc the quickest to prepare. However. any concoction that can be pre- pared while the oven is heating and baked in individual molds re- Quires no extra time and demands less attention than foods cooked over hot Are. Consequently. m oven dish of thls type often affords precious minutes for some extrh task.
 At first thought chops and steaks seem 10 be the only quick cooking meats, but n little conccn- tration on tho meat question res veals a fairly wide variety. Liver. link nusages, pork tenderloin. beef tendcrioin. broilcd hamburg. thinly sliced veal and tho smoked pork products that can be pam broiled all can be quickly prcpar- cd and cooked.

One of the very newest and very good one, too, of starring teams in the movies, is being in- troduced at the Warner state the atre today and tomorrow where the Paramount dramatlzatlon of Dale Collins novel. "rhe Sentiment tallst." Is being offered as His Woman"
 The team is that of Gary Cooper, lank hero of many heroic west erns and fisticuffs, and that fasci- mating lady who knocks 'em for n loop with her heavenly expression ate orbs. Claudette Colbert.
 And this attractive team is not the only feature thnt will stop your heart in its cardiac tracks; for there's serious little fellow of some dimpled nine months. one Richard Spirio, who does some solo captivating all on his own.
 Direction is by Edward Sloman, who has given proper considera- ton to the developing of the plot with scene In which spectacle Is permitted to harmonize with moods rather thnn overpower them with sheer mechanical weight.
 The story ih that or m nband- oned girl from n tropical port. strongly attracted and attached to n handsome and aggressive young man who sees in her only n chance to mother his founding.
