SIMEON D. TESS,

Chrm National Comm.
The above recognition afforded
the recipient the privilege of the en-
tire auditorium and gave to him the
opportunity of visiting with any del
egation he desired. Such honors are
eagerly sought by seasoned politi-
clans of much influence in their re-
spective communities. Mr.. Cayton
writes that he talked with many
of the delegates to the convention
from the different states with the
view of informing himself of the sit
uations in the different states and
communities. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Cayton was at one time not
only a member of the King County
Colored Republican Club, but its sec
rotary, as well. For the four years
prior to moving to Chicago, he was
one of Sheriff Claude G. Bannick's
deputies, which position is still open
to him if he desires to return to it.
National Committeeman Mark Z.
Reed and other members of the home
delegation, who not only met him in
the convention hall, but visited the
University of Chicago, where he is
engaged in research work in the So
Geological department, are saying
many complimentary things about
him.

 Sally chatted away while the girls waited for the police. She didn't want her parents to be walk ened, and when they finally were she explained what had happened in a few words. She said that Ruth had had some money stolen. Ruth and Sue added no details. They understood very easily that Sally didn't want her parents, to know that she had incurred a debt X. a dishonest one, at that (. which the money was to have paid. The police came. They searched the house and grounds. They found some steps, very faint now in the thickening snow. but they ended in the brook. Who ever the man was, he had waded for awhile and his tracks were lost. The off, cersA brought the report back to Sue and Ruth who had remained at Sally's.
 Sue waited expectantly for Sally to suggest that they stay with her all night. She knew that Sally was angry even now she won- dered, though, why Sally didn't snow 1t little more, put sne thought that ordinary courtesy would make her ask them to stay for the few remaining hours of the night.
 But Sally didn't.
 "You aren't afraid now, are your" Sally asked.
 NO, we'll go," Ruth answered quietly. We didn't mean to in- trude so long,"
 I'm beginning to grow sleepy" Sally yawned. She raised one hand to stifie the gesture and as she did so, the negligee which she had been holding together opened. Ruth noticed quickly that Sally was wearing g. dress under the silken robe.
 Then Sally had not been in bed, Ruth thought. She had been up. The negligee was a disguise. But why had she been up, alone in the house at that hour? Ruth's thoughts always came back to. the place where they had started. Had Sally met Hal Prichard again? Had she just returned from rem

 ~MARY,S KITCHEN.
NEA Service Writer

Many a June bride will find that the planning of meals becomes an alarming problem. The food budget refuses to balance, This" fa- vorite dishes have lost their charm and left-overs have a way of &C., cumulating that 1t most discon- certing.
 There are a number of import ant factors that enter into menu planning. The age and occupa- tions of the persons you are plan- ming for must be considered. The amount of money you can afford to spend naturally influences the choice of foods to a great degree. The ability of the cook--whether 1t be yourself or someone else and the amount of help In the kitchen also determine what you can have for dinner.
 Over and above this, the needs Of the body must be supplied in every meal of the day. The we'll balanced menu Is imperative and must contain three distinct food classes. First, fuel foods to fur nish heat and energy for the activi- ties of the body. Foods rich in sugar, starch and fat come under this head. Second, growing foods to provide material for the build ing and repair of body tissue. These are the foods rich in pro- tein. Third, protective" foods, containing mineral constituents and vitamins and adding bulk. Vegetables, fruits, milk, and whole grains make up this group.
 When 1t comes to actually mak- ing out menus In terms of meat and potatoes, variety, economy and personal likes and dislikes en- ter into the problem.
 You will find that greater vari- ety will be achieved and you will do your planning and ordering more competently and economical ly if you outline your menus for several days or Q week in advance.
 One way to do this is to decide on the meats for a week. Then fill In with potatoes cooked in var ious ways and other seasonal cooked vegetables.
 Next, work out lunches for the week, using up left-overs as much ss possible and supplying the sec- ond protein food-other than meat providing a protein was not served for breakfast.
 Then plan the breakfast fruits and cereals. Take care to avoid repetition. It won't cost a bit more to keep several different kinds of cereals open, using first one kind and then another, than to open one box and use 1t all up before opening another.
 Tn order to Include two servings of fruit daily, plan fruits for lunch- con and dinner in. the form of cocktails. salads and desserts. Finally, decide on the salads and desserts, breadstuffs and relishes. All the time you are planning menus, visualize them. Pay espe- cial attention to contrast of color and texture. Avoid using colors that clash, as beets and carrots. Take care not to repeat foods of distinctive flavor in the days menu. Tn working over left-overs it's g good plan to skip day between Shsir original and second appear Ances. This prevents mcnotcny | and makes meals more interesting. Go to market yourself. You will

GENEROSITY
 One day a small daughter of mine wanted to borrow an umbrel- Ia. I had two, but she was fond of the blue, my best one. So I told her to go and get it. She lost it that day-I never saw 1t again. It didn't matter. I was sorry to lose 1t and she was con- trite, but 1t was my own fault.
 A day or so later said deliber- ately, My fur collar Is soiled and I haven,t. a scarf. Will you lend me one?'
 She had several scarves, but on her birthday she had been given a beauty. It lay waiting for some special occasion in her bureau drawer.
 Certainly" she replied, and came back with the brown and tan that did service as second best.
 Did I take 1t and say Thank you?"
 No, I didn't. I said, Look here, my dear. want the very best scarf you own. Second best isn't good enough for me. Go and get me your new one." She looked at me as though I had lost nay senses. "Why moth- CT! was going to bring that one and then I knew what you'd say. You would just say you wouldn't think of wearing 1t and send me back"
 Self.dcnial vs. Generosity And there We were. had start ed to give her @ lesson in unsel- fishness and she was reminding me Iof my own foolish habit of self denial instead. I had brought the whole thing on myself by my eter- nal stepping back and giving her to understand that anything was good enough for me.
 Then I had suddenly expected a miracle to happen about this scarf business. was all ready to give her a long lecture on expecting a decent return for lending her all my best things when she turned the tables and showed me 1t was my own fault.
 "You are right--I should have sent you back" admitted. "Do you really wish me to wear your new blue scarf?"
 "Sure I would" she cried de. lightedly and flew upstairs again, trailing the dismal one behind her. "It just matches your dress" she declared, proudly dancing around as I adjusted the blue one under my coat. I believe this little episode illusl trates the cause of much selfish. ness in children toward their par. ents.
 We condition them to 1t by our virtuous self-denial. It isn't vir- tuous at all. Any withdrawal on the part of mother that increases thoughtlessnes and selfshness 1T, her children is doing harm instead of good.
 Some day, when her family Is grown and she is fretting Ser heart out because 1t thinks almost any thing is good enough for her, 1t will be too late to do much about 1t. A really wise mother will teach her children to be unselfish where she is concerned even though 1t Is hard for her to let them make their little sacrifices.

 YOURSELF
DENY EYES,
By Alicia Hart
4I95zbS. NEk ssRz!SS, lAs

DEWY EYESJ
 You all Know those liquid eyes with their limpid look of beauty.
 Well, ordinary eyes can get Q bit of that allure if you see to it that they are treated right.
 Don't ever start out with dry looking eye lids. They should be delicately moist. Not gooey. But just looking as they are. dew
 The way you do this, of course. Is to oil them. A touch of eye shadow, of the cream variety, may do the trick for you.
 Better still, during your beau tifying, after you have powdered touch your lids with just bit or facial oil. Just drop will do.
 Nights you should use muscle oil on any eyes over 30. It is even just as well to begin helping your eyes stay young by starting eye beauty treatments much younger.
 After you have massaged your face, dip the second fingers on each hand into this muscle oil for your eye lids and gently massage from the nose across above the eye ball to the outer corner of the eye. Lift your fingers and repeat about lO times. Then begin at the nosS and gently massage under the eyes, from the nose out. See that these gentle strokes end up some- where in the region of your tenn pies.
 Last, but not least, since it af- fects eye muscles quite as much, massage the portion just over your eye brows. Begin on the bridge of your nose and arch out to the tenn pie. Press gently just at the sides of the eye arch, right under your eyebrows where they near the nose. These are very delicate nerves. Easy, quite massage does much to relieve eye strain.
 Leave little of this muscle oil on. Don't wipe any off, as 8 mat ter of fact. Sleep with 1t on your eyes and the skin of your eye lids will be much smoother and softer In the morning.
