The homemaker finds that hot days increase her food problems, not alone in the planning of meals, but in the buying and storing of staples and fresh produce. The summer heat and humidity are most trying and do musch to mar the crispness and perfection of foods, even if ac- tual spoilage is averted.
 Well selected containers are q great aid toward keeping foods in good condition. Glass or earthen-, ware, enamelware or aluminium - covered dishes made in any of these materials are excellent for storing foods, both raw and cooked. Since most perishable foods keep better if not exposed to the air, covered containers are desirable.
 Soft fruits like berries keep bet ter if they are taken immediate fly from the box in which they are! marketed and spread on a platter or large plate. Keep them in cool place but not in the regrigera- tor unless a cool cellar is not avail able. If berries must be kept in the icebox. they should be stored in the warmest place.
 Buy Small Quantities.
 The care of left-overs requires special attention at this season. In the first place, buy as little as pos sible and thus do away with the likelihood of having left-oyers. Make 1t custom to use all left-overs promptly. Cooked vegetables that have been served buttered for the

bad as it will be for Tommy to marry Irene, I'm afraid he'd get into serious trouble without her. And it won't last long anyway"
 And then what?"
 Beryl looked dreamily into space over the brush mop she was lean- ing on. Tommy will grow she said quietly. There's something in him that's good and strong. Its down pretty deep, but it's there."
 Well" her mother remarked. you seem to think sight of him."
 Beryl nodded.
 And it's nothing to you that your sisters happiness Is at stalker" her mother pressed. You wouldn't mind seeing her make a match that was bound to end that way-in di- vorce, maybe? Just to give a boy a chance to grow up?"
 Beryl looked at her with honest, fearless eyes. I'm more concerned with Tommy" she said frankly. He's worth more than Irene. She's quitting under fire, but if he can hold her now he may be willing to let her go when hes grown up." You're perfectly heartless,' her mother told her bitterly, and went to join Irene.
 She found her putting on the

on, you have t0 consider wbats best all around"
 T do not" Irene denied. "A girl has a right to make the plans of her own wedding. And I was thinking of something more ele- gant than a hurried-up affair. His father can just wait. Prentiss Is entitled to g. vacatotn." Her mother sighed. Hes had quite a nice one now. it seems to me-" she said weakly. "You'll both get along much better if you don't start by turning his father against you"
 "H'm," Irene remarked. "You talk as though you'd be glad to get rid of me-"
 Her mother let this pass. She did not wish to be driven to reveal Beryls opposition, not. at least. while there was chance she could make Beryl suppress it. You know things can happen" really love Prentiss you shouldn't let him go away without you"
 
 They understood each other per- fectly. There had been no men, tion of Irene's love for Prentiss. To neither of them was it necessary to the girls happiness that she should love him. What Mrs Everett real ly meant to say, and Irene knew it, was that Irene should take him while she had the chance, if she wanted him. Otherwise there was the risk of another girls getting him.
 'I'I think it over," Irene prom ised with feigned indifference. Then she added as her mother moved to go. "Will you press my lowered batiste for me?''
 'It's got an ink spot on it," her mother told her, "but I'll do up the little pink swiss for you." "Oh, that old thing" Irene said disgustedly. "I haven't a decent dress for morning wear!" She was thinking of BeryPs charming country clothes. She might sneak something out of her sisters wardrobe.
 "All right, do up the swiss" she said. "I'll wear it If l have to-"
 She had no intention of wearing the dress if coaxing Beryi could prevent it. When her mother had gone back downstairs she hastened to Beryls room. :,
 Irene entered with sweet smile and a softly spoken, Flows your old grouch this morning?" Beryl eyed her thoughtfully. "Sit down." she said shortly. T want to talk with you" Irene ceased to simper. She did not like Beryls tone. "I haven't much time," she said doubtfully. q just came in to see "If you could borrow something, ' Beryl finished for her. T guessed that much. We'll, maybe you'll get it, but first you've got to hear what l have to say.'
 Dear me! Do you have to look as though you've lost your best friend?" Irene complained. You'd be serious too for once in your life, perhaps, if you'd seen Tommy Wilson as I saw him this morning." Beryl snapped at her. This morning?" Irene repeated.

 Let me see it." Mrs Everett begged and Irene gave her the tele- gram. It was from Prentiss. in- forming Irene that he'd be out to let her marry him immediately. to cut short his vacation and return home at once. He wouldn't go with out her.
 When Mrs Everett finished read ing 1t she looked at Irene with a light of childish excitement in her usually yapid blue eyes.
 What are you going to do?" she
 Irene put up her arms and stretched lazily before she an- sWered. Then, q don't know" she said as though the matter were not really important.
 A faint frown creased her moth er's forehead. She was thinking of Beryi-of her older daughters im- piled threat to make trouble be- tween Irene and Prentiss. She glanced at the telegram which she still held in her hand.
 'I think you ought to do as he says" she said solemnly. His fathers a big man."
 Irene pouted. I'm not going to have anyone arranging my affairs for me-" she declared petulantly. Especially an in-law."

 "Oh!" Sue said 1t very quietly Of course it was perfectly all right. Jack had to go when business called him. She wasn't going to be silly and stand in his way. He had tried to see her. But even if it had just been a few hours since she had left him, she was lonesome for him already. She didn't want him away from her. He was too much a part of her. He might be gone two days.

They decided that two-time out fit was good investment. For in- stance, they could start with jacket made let us say, of black fiat crepe. Using the same pattern they could have both a black fiat crepe dress made and one of black and white print. The upper part of this one would be of white. or of the new fashionable lice green" which is really sort of dirty white. The jacket goes with either dress, mak- ing two separate and different ap- bearing outfits.
 The girls were in favor of cap sleeves for office wear. Incidentally they are exceedingly smart this year. They chose white fabric gloves, an- other economical touch which is smart. With an outfit such as this the girls decided black hat and shoes would go best.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@I9sI sY NEA sERz!cE lNe:

Unless you exercise while you diet, you will lose beauty as we'll as flesh.
 This is especially true of your upper arms. They may reduce but they will be so fabby they will not be attractive unless you strengthen up the muscles that support the fat.
 If you could play tennis or golf or swim as you reduce it would be perfect. This gives you the muscle exercise that you need. Even stren- uous sweeping every day would do 1t, but somehow that seems to lack some of the zest of outdoor exer- else.
 Prevents Sagging Folds
 Certain exercises have been worked out that do the trick because they are designed to reach the mus cles that aren't reached otherwise. Given plenty of exercise these mus cles grow strong and prevent that arm sag you don't like.
 Stand erect and raise your right arm level to your shoulder, and bend the arm in at the elbow so that the hand points left. Do this five times. Change arms and re- peat exercise.
 Hold your right arm out in front

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton 2le5I eH NEA seRVicE i1c. '

Dicks Aunt Lorrie had come for visit. The first morning after breakfast she went out to the porch and saw Dick down on his hands and knees watching a spider.
 Come away" she shrieked That thing will bite you. Ugh, the ugly thing-kill it."
 Dick grinned. "Aw, he won't hurt anybody. Watch me get him. Whereupon he cupped his hands and brought up the spider a cap tive. "See," he said proudly, but his aunt had flown into the house.
 That afternoon there was a fam fly picnic. Bathing suits went along, all but Aunt Lorrie's. Hers didn't go because she hadn't any.
 Cultivated Fears
 The entire way to the woods she explained why. More lives were lost by swimming than by fires, she de- clared. One never knew. Man wasn't amphibious and no matter how well he could swim something was bound to happen to him someway in a hostile element.
 "Dick, do you like to swim?''
 Do I? Oh,, boy!"
 And aren't you afraid? Not a bit %
 Course not-whats there to be afraid of?"
 Well, if I were your mother you'd never go near the water. Do be careful, Dickie!"
 A storm threatened, but did not actually break. However, Aunt Lor- rie made it depressing enough with her predictions and fears. I'm SC afraid to be out in the woods when there's lig!Sning. Trees are con- ductors and especially-"It seemed there were six reasons why one should never risk being outdoors in a storm.
 Might Get Sick!
 At supper Dick ate pickles; ba- nanas, pie and ice cream
 Doesn't Dick ever get sick, Sis ter? I'd be afraid to let a boy eat like that"
 "Oh, yes, he'll probably be sick, all right" remarked his mother calmly. T used to watch his diet, but he seemed to be able to digest nails, so I've gotten careless
 I'm glad you agree with me on something,' sighed Aunt Lorrie happily. 1T hope you won't be sorry about letting Dick have so much stuff. DICK, please don't eat another cake. The Webster's little boy died two weeks ago and 1t all came about because he ate"
 Too Much Caution
 Say, look here, Lorrie," said Dicks mother. everyone was hap py this morning. Now we've all got the jumps. Dick might not die ot bites, or drowning, or lightning, or pickles and ice cream, but with you around he'd have nervous break down in a week. He isn't afraid of anything now. We never use the word in the house. I'd rather let him risk a few things than have him breed that same terrible cau- ton you have. It is born of every kind of fear under the sun. You've never happy a second. You'd never do for a mother"
 Children learn judgment in time. We should teach them enough cau- tion to be safe, but what Dick S mother said had truth in it. Too many cautions, too many fears, can work much disaster on the mind if kept up for a lifetime. At any rate the word afraid" should be con- spicuous by it's absence.

NANCY PAGE Wash Dresses Are Expen- sive in Their Upkeep
 By Florence L.e Oapke
Ry Florence Is 0eake

Grace and Joan worked side by side in the same office, took the same car home and ate at the same tea room or cafeteria day after day. They were known as the insepar- ables. They did have the good sense, though, not to dress alike. That fool ish custom always makes the two girls look juvenile. Twins may wear the same kind of clothes but two of- flee or play mates need to keep their individualities distinct. Clothes to fit the wearer are smarter than clothes just alike because the 'girl friend" has them.
 But the two girls were agreed on this-that wash clothes are an ex- pensive luxury for the girl who boards or who does not have a laun- dress always at hand.
 During the noon hour they looked over fashion magazines.

 Hold both arms out in front of you. even with your shoulders, palms together. Throw both back wards, trying to keep them even with your shoulders, and try to touch them behind you. the back of one hand touching the back of the other. You can't do this at first. But keep on, making about ten trials day, until you can do it. Then raise the quota to IS.

 "She's a brute" Irene asserted. Then she added in whisper, but she's not as smart as she thinks. Listen, Mama, here's what I'm go- ing to do." She put finger to her lips and tiptoed over to close the door which Mrs Everett had left slightly ajar.

KING TUT MAKES
SHORT WORK OF
BILLY PETR0LLE

ST. PAUL, MINI. Feb. 3. U.P-
King Tut, the chubby fighting
sensation of Minneapolis and Won
ewoc. Wis. was back in the lime
light today as one of the worlds
leading lightweights after "a Sec
ond victory over Bill Petrolle, the
Fargo Express. Both weighed 1882
The 10000 fans who paid more
than $4,000 to see the fight, hardly
realized last night what was going
on until Tut has the conqueror of
Jimmy McLarnin hanging helpless
upon the ropes, every bit of fight
knocked out of him.
Petrolle fell the victim OF one of
the spectacular rushes with which
Tut usually opens his fights and
he never even had chance to raise
his hands before he was dazed by
terrific right to the chin.
That first blow. a looping right
delivered on the run, really ended
the fight, but Petrolle kept his feet
for few seconds. long enough to
ward off few short punches and
to take on the head shower OF
lefts and rights that put him out
for almost five minutes.
