Food Expert in Paris Finds Ice Now
Total Stranger to Beverages
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

in America some people always prefer
hot coffee and tea with lunch and din
ner, as well as for breakfast. Every one
in hot weather likes them between
meals, in the middle Of the afternoon,
perhaps, and especially on a hot Sum-
mer evening.
Ginger ale, grape juice, charged
water, lemons, oranges and chocolate
sirup, kept on hand make the mixing
of a cold drink the easiest matter. ]
like to keep some of the bottled fruit
products also. These combine we'll with
the other things. They are all sWeeten-
ed SO you go lightly with the sugar
until after you have tasted the first
mixing.
Chocolate sirup, if made with cocoa
and kept in a sealed jar, will keep a
long time without sugaring. You can
open it, use what you like and reseal
Perhaps it is better to keep it in the
ice box, although I have kept it at
room temperature for weeks. You can
combine it with cream, with ice cream
with charged water, with orange juice,
with ginger ale and have a fountain
drink at home.
Essence of mint, just q few drops, Is
also good with 1t. If you can get fresh
mint it adds much to the flavor of the
fruit and charged water or ginger ale
mixture. Many OF these are better for
being mixed and allowed to chill thor
oughly in the refrigerator before the
sparkling beverage is added.

Johnny was hungry. He always is

paused to listen. Blacky was making

Everyday Psychology

Vanity.

1t is probably correct to say that
every normal human being IS continue
ally putting forth some effort to have
other people notice him. Sometimes
we call this seeking for recognition,
ambition; at other times, vanity.
Whenever the struggle to become q
somebody is carried far enough to be
called vanity. the person begins to lose
his senses. He substitutes the unreal
world Of imagination for the world Of
reality, draws a mental picture Of him.
self which he can in no sense live up to,
enslaves himself with a lot of pre-
tensions, and finally sets out to ignore
little vanity is good thing, too
much really defeats its own ends. To
beiittle the worth of ones neighbors is
to go into seclusion.
Every case of well developed vanity
Is an exposure of weakness. We might
say that vanity is that form of adjust
ment a person assumes when he realizes
he really has nothing to offer for the
admiration of others. Vanity came in
with society, and is therefore a social
adjustment.
There is just enough vanity in most
Of US to cause US to make certain al
lowanceS for other people. No one
respects the man who doesn't assume
some virtues. The danger comes when
the assumed virtues cause their pos
SCISSOR to step outside the circle Of
everyday affairs and take up the role
Of all-round pretender.

I am shy and. like all shy people. apt
to shut up like q clam when I am
among strangers. My husband, on the
contrary, is friendly and so brilliantly
amusing that he is usually the center
Of interest-which keeps people from
noticing how little he drinks!
"I know I don't fit in with this group
at all, but am determined that, if it
is possible, will try to play the game
and not handicap my husband. He Is
a brick, and I should hate to diSap-
point him. know there Is a graceful
way of being with people that enjoy
doing things you do not, but am
afraid I am not very graceful. Hon
estly, I hate preaching smugness. I
don't care a rap what other people do,
but I wish I knew how to make these
particular people stop noticing that I
don't finish a cigarette or empty q
glass. Can you suggest any way in
which can refuse without seeming
SNUG and critical? And can you sug-
gest the meaning of grace?"
Answer.-The only polite refusal that
I know Of Is to tell what Is the truth:
Il can't touch alcohol, because 1t is
poison to me-" That you think it poison
to most people need not be addedl That
one does not smoke causes no COM
ment, as you may have noticedl On
the subject of grace: Grace is ease
and ease is just an impersonal point
Of view Remember that no one will
notice what you do, or how you do it,
unless you think about yourself so hard
that you force them to.

pedic surgeon, states that as these con-
ditions are all discovered first by the
family doctor or general practitioner,
he, the family doctor, should be
equipped to be the best instructor in
this art of living, and the public should
be educated and, if possible, induced
to consult him often enough while they
are in good health to check up on their
needs and obtain this preventive in
struction.
He states that "the first or beginning
signs of chronic arthritis are fatigue
of body and mind, sometimes unrecog-
nized by the patient, usually recognized
by his family, and always discoverable
by his physician If search for it is
made"
When food passes too slowly or too
rapidly along intestines, or if the food
is of the wrong kind and not enough
OF 1t, the patient is just about as likely
to be attacked by arthritis as when he
has some infection of teeth, tonsils,
gall bladder and so forth. In fact, one
condition may affect or hurry along the
other, and arthritiS results.

Betty'S basket is variation Of the
ever popular basket theme. Each block
calls for two rectangles and IT tri-
angles in two sizes. By following the
color scheme as suggested and making
the large triangle in a rather dark or
solid color the basket is given body and
weight.
1t Is not necessary to make the three
small triangles which touch the dark
one Of the same patterned material, nor
to make the two above of like mate
rial, but Nancy believes you will find
that the basket blocks are more salts
flying when put together in that fashion.
These pieced blocks are put into the
quilt at an angle. That is, the bottom
point of block is placed so that it
points toward the bottom of quilt. BY
placing these pieced blocks diamond
fashion on the quilt the baskets seem
to be standing upright with the triangu-
lar flowers standing S4if and pointed
toward the top of quilt
The basket pieced blocks were usually
joined by squares of white put together
cornerwise also. This gives row of
pieced blocks and then row Of plain
ones.
1t is quite possible to make each
pieced block of different colored and
patterned materials. Or to use the
same material for each large dark tri-
angle and then change the small tri-
angles in each basket.
Be sure to cut the blocks with a
seam allowance of ne-quarter inch on
all sides You will note that in the life
size pattern, which you will receive by
following directions given at the end of
this article, that no seam allowance has
been made
This pieced block is small enough to
be used on child's crib quilt or it may
be used on tWin-size, quarter or
full-Si2e beds.
The actual pattern for the Bettys
basket design may be obtained by send
ing 3 cents and a self-adrdessed
stamped envelope to Nancy Page, in
care OF this paper Back patterns may
be secured by sending an additional 8
cents for each pattern requested.
