GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
4Io SS sY NEA sERyleE IMe;

This is a bad winter on most complexions.
 If the weather stays either hot or cold, dry or wet, you know what to do for your skin and can do 1t, But when you face a lot of chang es, your skin is bound to require seevral kinds of treatment and you might just as well treat 1t right.
 If you are an outdoor girl, be sure you feed your skin enough oily creams to keep its texture velvety. I suggest that you fore go more than a daily washing, and take it nights. Mornings, use one of the good facial oils or cleansing creams that melt the minute they hit your warm skin. Do good job of massaging it in, wipe it off thoroughly and you will have just as clean a look as if you scrubbed hard.
 In addition, you should use a foundation cream. Don't make the mistake of thinking a cold cream is a real foundation cream. It is too oily and too heavy.
 Your foundation cream should come after your astringent, and If you feel like blowing yourself to a real treat, there are some deli cate ones that smell grand and give your skin kind of bloom on-the-peach look.
 When you come out of the cold, oil your face again. This extra precaution accounts for many a lovely-textured skin that other wise might not be so beautiful. If your skin has tendency to look fiaky after you have powdered. or if you notice fine lines just about to appear. wear oil on vour fars,

"a girl! Is the dress gone?" "Yes," Joan's eyes filled with tears. Her mother went up at noon to-day and got 1t. But do like the red one, mother. Maybe like it better than the blue. Ruth was crazy about it."
 Then why didn't you get it?"
 "She says she can't wear red with her light hair. She says I'd look lovely in it."
 ''I bet she did. Some day you'll learn to keep your affairs to your self. Joan, you've simply got 10 learn not to be such a softly and let other people use you the way they do. have a good notion to march right over to Mrs Wright's and tell her the dress really be- longs to us."
 Mother! You wouldn't do that"
 "I know what I'll do. I'll go to the store and tell them to order one just like it-or maybe they have another in stock"
 "Oh, mother, please don't" begged Joan, her eyes filling up. Ruth wouldn't be my friend any more."
 And wouldn't that be terrible, mocked her mother. "She would be the loser. She couldn't borrow your books or get a free trip to Aunt Lou's when you go to spend Saturdays, or get you to do her problems"
 "Oh, mother, that's not right: You don't understand"
 "I understand that she is the most selfish child l ever knew
 Strange enough an almost iden- tical conversation was going on in Ruth's home. It seems that Mrs Wright had seen the dress a week before, had inquired the price and spoken to the clerk about keeping it for her. It was left in the win dow by mistake, where loans mother saw 1t.
 That was why Ruth's mother bought it--not because of her daughters jealousy. And Ruth herself was sincere in thinking the red dress more becoming to her friend.
 Furthermore, there were com- pensations for the favors she re- ceived at loans house. It was fifty fifty all around.
 Ruth cried too. So here were two friends not only being es- tranged by jealous mothers but losing faith in people and confi- dence in themselves.
 Too bad. really.

 "I tried so hard" he explained. But I had to hurry. I thought you. might look out of the window any time after six-I've been here since then"
 "Dear - dearest! My silly little sister saw you, but she told me just this minute. Why didn't you come to the door?"
 Afraid. Bashful. It was too early to call"
 "Why didn't you honk your horn ?"
 "Any guy that sits in his car and honks his horn at my girl gets punch in the nose. May l take you to your office? Won't there be time for a little ride first?
 In her room, as she pulled on her hat and searched for her best gloves, she found herself hum- ming that foolish song of Nary Frances. "''Tis love that makes us happy =. (To Be Continued)

 Well, Cissy-I must say!"
 ''No, Ann, he was just right and adorable. But didn't want to be engaged for a while. So I haven't breathed the answer soft and low as yet"
 "Cecily.' Ann declared, and phatic mods of her head, you are so wise. You are so wise. I had no idea that you were-so wise."
 Cecily, who had made no efforts at wisdom, found Ann's admira- tion disturbing, annoying indeed, rather than gratifying. "Pooh," she said.
 Don't be engaged for a long time, Cissy,'' Anne went on earn estly. Not for a long time. Things settle down so afterwards. It is much more fun and exciting and all to keep things uncertain"
 Tt isn't that exactly" Cecily said. NO. like certainties much better than uncertainties" | Ann thought for a moment be- fore she conceded, Women usual- ly do, I suppose-or they think that they do. But men hate 'em. Cissy. Before they are married, | I mean"
 If they hated them before they'd hate them, after, just the same," Cecily argued. Marriage is a ceremony-not a rebirth. I'd surely be afraid to marry a man was afraid to be engaged to-" "I didn't mean afraid" said Ann.
 No, and I don't think you l you know what you did mean. Do you think. Phfl hates the cer- tainty of being engaged to you?" "Phils different. Still. he is getting sort of-difficult. All he'll talk about, any more, is when we can be married"
 | Cecily laughed again. These men who hate certainties,'' she twitted.
 Ann yawned. No. one could be expected to believe it, but Ann, yawning, was still beautiful. Well, we'd best be getting to bed. Oh, yes, I nearly forgot.

 Sue knew why he had come late His light voice didn't conceal the reason. He was still embarrassed over his crippled state. He wa! forcing himself to go into public again. The dinner party that hi sister had held had been torture
 I'm glad you didn't wait" Su, said, smiling gaily, because she didn't want him to know that sht felt sorry for him. We couudn' have eaten with you, if you hat been in the six-to-seven crowd" Carefully Sue steered the conver sation around to Nancy. She sait that she had been at Nancy's tha evening-that/ Nancy was lone some. She wondered if she dared give away Nancy's secret. She de cided not to. After all. if Nancy wanted to save rose petals from flowers which Arnold Page had sent her, Nancy certainly did not want Arnold Page to know it. Even fl she did want him to know about it it could mean nothing now. Nancy was Harry Becker's fathers wife.
 Flows your book coming?" Sue asked him.
 Fine he answered her eager questions. Jack talked about the jungles, too.
 When I was a kid I used to think l would like to go to sea, Jack said. Funny, isn't it, how life works out the pattern that we hadn't noticed?"
 Sues eyes danced mischeviously. Jack, honey. are you trying to tell me that you are sorry that you can't go roaming any more? For ii you are I'll pack your trunk fol you. but I'd like to go to sea too!'
 Jack shook his head. Wrong translation. I'm wondering how ] could have changed so completely that I don't even want to go any more."
 "I can understand that" Arnold spoke with more experienced knowledge, but there was some thing of old world curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Sue. "A woman will make man change his plans. if she loves him as he loves her.
 Sues eyes met Jacks. Swiftly. Happily. Understandingly. Then Sue turned to Page again.
 But most people believe that women love more than men l think so, too. And it's supposed to work out better that way. they say. Just the same. I'm glad I can fool myself into believing that, it isn't true"
 "Its true stin etimes" the older man answered reflectively. Most of the time, I should say. That s why, when a man loves woma n dangerously, he gets hurt more fiercely than a woman would. That is, if he keeps the spark burning and that sort of thing. Thank for tune, most of them go out after a while." He paused second. "Any- man would be seven kinds of fool not to love you wildly, my dear. I'm glad you have found one who does"
 She looked puzzled. She didn't quite know how to reply. But Jack answered for her.
 Don't flatter the young lady, Page. You'll spoil her"
 But his eyes were affectionate and teasing and adoring, all at
 You sound as though there's $ a story back of your philosophy. Sue ventured. She wondered what he would say.

True to her word Lois prepared the dish. And she did it in this fashion. She checked her recipe and found it called for five hot or chili peppers. She smiled over the fact that a hot pepper was called chili one, but realized that the pepper must have been named after the country in which it grew, rather than after its characteris- tic flavor.
 For these five hot peppers she needed one clove of garlic and one small onion. The peppers were washed after seeds and mem- branous lining were removed, and cooked in small amount of water until tender. Then they were put through sieve. This mixture with sliced onion and garlic was then added to meat.

SiSM.,les o.. MARYS KITCHEN
BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer

Although winter time brings us a wealth of fruits and vegetables with which to compose our salads. we are prone to drop into a rut and serve head lettuce with a French or Thousand Island dressing for dinner after dinner.
 A crisp salad accompanying a meal composed of hearty winter foods brings with It more than its appeal of color and taste. It also brings in such a pleasant way the health-giving minerals and vita mins which we are constantly striving to get into our meals.
 The following salads are very inexpensive but are inviting and easy to make.
 Cabbage, Apple and Raisin Salad
 Two cups finely shredded cab bage, red apples, 1-2 cup seed less raisins, l teaspoon sugar, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon pep per, 9 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons salad oil.
 Mix sugar, salt and pepper with lemonf juice. Slowly add oil, beat ing it in with a fork Or a beater. Beat until smooth. Wash apples, cut in quarters and remove cores. Cut in dice without peeling and drop at once into the dressing to prevent discoloration. Add cab- bage and raisins and toss lightly with fork until thoroughly mix ed. Serves four to six persons.
 Baked bean and bacon salad makes hearty dish for a family luncheon.
 Baked Bean and Bacon Salad
 Two cups baked beans. thin slices bacon, 4 tablespoons minced sour pickle, Ia cup tomato cat sup. French dressing.
 If beans are not dry, drain thor oughIy. Cook bacon until crisp and cut in small dice. Combine beans, bacon and pickle with cat sup and serve on bed of crisp curly endive. Pass French dress ing. Serves four.
 Another nourishing salad for winter luncheons en famille is found in lima bean and celery salad. .-.....
 Lima Bean and Celery Salad
 Two cups lima beans canned Or cooked dried ones). 1 cup diced celery, 1 tablespoon minced onion, ? tablespoons shredded green pep per, tablespoons grated cheese. French dressing.
 The green pepper, of course. can be omitted. but it adds pleasing touch of color. A vivid yellow cheese is attractive if available.
 Mix beans. celery, onion and pepper, tossing lightly to avoid crushing beans. Pour on French dressing and arrange on crisp TO- maine. Garnish with grated cheese and serve with more French dress ing.
 A good raw vegetable salad uses equal parts of minced green pep per. finely shredded cabbage and grated raw carrot. Each vegetable is mixed with enough mayonnaise to bind, and they are arranged in layers on @ lettuce leaf, making the last layer of pepper. Serve with a French dressing to which 4 tablespoons tomato catsup has been added.
 To-morrow's Menu
 BREAKFAST: Stewed prunes, cereal, cream, waffles. syrup, milk, coffee. .....
 LUNCHEON: Beef broth with toasted crackers baked bean and bacon salad, brown bread sand wiches, sliced oranges and bananas, hermits. milk, tea.
 DINNER: Dreaded veal outlets, baked squash, scalloped tomatoes and dried lima beans, raw vegeta- hle salad lemon meringue Dfe, milk, coffee.

But Lois could not find any hot peppers. She considered using sweet green ones and adding cay enne pepper. This would have been satisfactory. However she found a small bottle of chili pow der in the grocery. She used the powder, following directions on the bottle.
 In any case she added the mix ture to one pound of round steak ground or cut in small cubes. She added just enough water to keep meat covered and cooked slowly for two hours if cubes were used or one hour if chopped steak was used. She thickened the liquid slightly just before serving. Chilli con carne is good served with boiled rice or baked potatoes. Sliced tomatoes or shredded lettuce or cole shaw, or bread and butter pickles are good accompaniments.
 Nancy has some savory soup recipes. Send for her lcaflet. Write her care of this paper cn- closing Q stamped self-addrcssed envelope with your. request.

PROPERTY TAX RISE
FOUGHT AT ST. LOUIS
Committee of 900 Citizens Sug-
gests Special Levies for
Relief Funds.

st. Louis taxpayers have registered
their opposition to any increase in gen.
eral property taxation as a. means Of
providing funds for unemployment re-
lief, holding that if necessary such
funds should be supplied by continu-
alton of special taxes.
A committee of 600 citizens Of that
city. appointed by the st. Louis mayor,
bv unanimous vote has taken this posi-
ton, supporting a contention which
earlier had been advanced by the St.
Louis Real Estate Exchange
A bond issue Of s4,600,000 for relief
purposes is to be passed upon at the
general election. November 8. Added
Importance is attached to the action of
the Citizens Committee since, 1t is re-
ported it was appointed to sponsor
passage of the proposed bond issue.
The committee has requested the
board of aldermen to convene in Spe
cial session before the November cleo
tion and to re-enact legislation con-
tinuing in force the special taxes for
unemployment relief, opposing what 1t
believes otherwise will be an inevitable
increase in real estate taxes
The special taxes include toll on a
municipal bridge crossing the Missis
sippi and an additional 1a-cent tax on
gasoline

LIMIT ON SALES TAX
IN BALTIMORE ASKED
Head of Real Estate Board Would
Confine Proposed Revenue to
Relief Work.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 5.-Unless
the proposed sales tax for Baltimore
is a purely temporary measure, accom-
panied by a guarantee that it will not
be used as q means of further 1ncreas-
ing the cost of government and that
its revenue will be employed to meet
only such emergencies as aiding the
destitute, it should be rejected, c. Philip
Pitt, secretary of the Real Estate
Board, declared today.
The proposed per cent levy, said
Mr.. Pitt, presents "a bitter pill for the
already overburdened taxpayer and Is
one that should not be accepted with
out some limitations" This Is the
sentiment of members Of the Real Es-
tate Board, Mr.. Pitt said although the
board has not taken formal action on
the matter.
mo new taxation" said Mr.. Pitt,
should be opened unless 1t Is accom-
panied by guarantee that 1t will not
be used as a means of further increas-
ing the cost Of government and that
the revenue derived will be used solely
to meet such emergencies as aiding our
unemployed and destitute citizens"
Unless city-wide sales or some other
new tax Is levied and the city's expend-
itures for emergency unemployment
relief are funded in bond issue, Balti-
more's tax rate for 1888 will be 1913,
according to Herbert l.. Fallin, who
