in flavor and that does it's part
to add character to the menu.
We all know the bright yell
low, bumpy, crooked neck type
and the pale green or white,
knobby-edged patty pan or
cymling squash, but there are
some kinds that are newcomers
to our markets, whose delight
fully delicate flavors have
earned them their popularity.
One of these is zuccini, an
italian cousin, which has a
rather nutty taste and looks
something like a cucumber in
color but different in shape.
These may be finger size or
larger.
The sma all ones are best
cooked only until tender in a
small amount Of water and
served with lemon sauce. The
larger sizes may be sliced across,
dipped in egg, and fried in oil
with a trace of garlic if you
are so minded.
Preparing and Serving
After washing the squash cut
it into small pieces unless it is
very small in itself. Steam it
or cook it in a small amount Of
water or by the waterless meth
cd, or bake it in a casserole,
adding salt when the cooking is
nearly completed.
The winter varieties Of squash
require different methods of
preparation. They are either
skinned and cooked for mash
ing or are baked with butter or
with stuffing made of bread
crumbs combined with chopped
leftover ham or grated cheese.
With Tart Sauce
The usual sauce for these
delicately favored vegetables is
butter, salt and pepper, but
occasionally for the sake of
change a tart sauce is welcome.
The simplest of these is made
by melting butter until it be-
gins to brown and then adding
strained lemon juice to taste.
If you prefer a strong flavor
heat the butter until it is really
brown and then add half as
much vinegar as melted butter.

Diet Hint

American business men are
nowadays largely IN It ting
their European colleagues by
consuming two or more hours
for lunch. Unfortunately, how
ever, our business men use the
time not for pleasant conversa-
ton and the enjoyment of the
meal but for the transaction Of
business. Nothing, of course,
could be worse for digestion.
Freedom from excitement and
not too much thinking should
characterize every meal.

mind-and your purse-we're
giving you a quick guide to this
seasons suits.
"A Guide
First, there are the tweed
suits-called country suits in
the shops, but really just as ap-
propriate for the city in most
cases. These are most popu-
lar in the three-piece types-a
jacket, skirt and topcoat to
match, or in the two-piece dress
and-coat costumes. Get a hat
of matching material with this
type of suit if you can-noth-
ing else goes so we'll with it.
Then there are the more for
NAL afternoon suitS-usually Of
dark cloth with fur trimming
like a coat. Three-quarter coats,
skirts and blouses Of satin or
metal cloth make up many Of
these suits-and the flat furs,
such as Persian lamb or caracul,
are the bestliked trimmings.
These are just as dressy as the
dressiest daytime coat, and can
be worn with the same acces-
Sories.
After S o'clock, the cocktail
suit comes into its own-cute
little affairs Of velvet with satin
or lame blouses and lovely furs.
Jackets are shorter in this type
of suit than they are in before
5-o'clock ensembles-in fact, the
later the hour, the shorter the
jacket.
In the new dinner suits, the
The Washington times., 1933-10-03

jackets barely reach to the
hipS-shoWing off the lovely
blouSeS and luxurious furs to
full advantage.
So "suit yourself" this seasoA!
Study in Smartness
Would you like to know what
the best-dressed women are
really wearing? We ran into
New York's Smartest woman on
New York's smartest street, and
we made these hasty mental
notes. h a t her sleeves were
not puffed, nor we're her shoul-
ders padded, and her hat was
not pulled way down in front
nor slouched over to one side.
She wore a simple black frock
Of something that looked like
ribbed silk, and her hat was
turned away from her face in
stead Of over it.
But she did wear the high
neckline-a cloSe-fitting little
collar right up to her chin, with
a long streamer bow of bright
blue crepe that was the only
color note in her costume.
And this is the woman who
is supposed to know more about
what is being worn and what
will be worn than anyone else
in the world. So take a tip from
her costume-and watch out
for the future fashion pointers
by her smooth shoulder lines,
sleeve fullness, if any, placed
lower down on the arm, and
ribbed or corded instead Of
rough fabrics. And hats that
do a turn -about-face!

Match Color
Use powder, o. course, a fine
variety in a tone the color of
your skin. Rouge is something
very different from powder.
Any girl under eighteen who
puts rouge on her cheeks is
making the mistake of her life.
Doing so she entirely kills
her own color, or if she is the
very rare young girl who has
no color in her cheeks, she was
intended by nature to be that
way, and should develop that
pale type Of beauty rather than
spoil it with unnatural dabS
Of color.
Lipstick is likely to rob your
lips of their color too, but
we are not entirely against
that if you desire it. But,
by all means, choose natural
shade. The bright and bril-
liant ones only make you look
hard. Rose colored pomade is
a good compromise. and it is
actually good for the lips. Or
If you want to go in for real"
lipstick, be sure to get one that
is a nondrying variety.
Eye makeup is something
that the smartest young girls
turn their thumbs down on.
If your eye lashes and brows
are rather thin, rub on a little
yellow oxide Of mercury, one
per cent, and make them
grown.
Eyebrows
And to train your eye brows
into a beautiful arch take
little eyebrow brush and brush
the brows straight up every
night into their curve.
Permanent waves, provided
they are the wide, natural
looking kind, are all right, and
the most reputable beauty shops
can show you all sorts of styles
for the girl in her "teens."
Other things to keep within
reach: that indispensable bot
tie of deodorant, a good hand
lotion and a little manicure set.
Oddly enough the care of the
nails is one beauty rite about
which many girls are quite lax.
And if you pound out every
thing with a typewriter-learn
the trick of tipping with your
fingers f1at-So that your fin
ger-nails will always be long
and lovely.

Kidney Elimination Aided BY
Drinking Water


Although the lungs, skin and
bowels are also organs OF
elimination - that is, organs
which get rid Of the waste pro-
ducts Of the body-the kidneys
are primarily the organs upon
which the functions of which
highly-complicated C h e m C !
elimination depends.
In a summary manner one
might say that the body must
get rid of urea, carbon dioxide.
salts and water. These chem
ical products result from the
oxidation, the "burning-up," Of
food while it is being trans
formed into substances that can
be utilized by the tissues.
The kidneys take care OF
nearly all the urea, a large per-
centage Of the water, the
greater proportion Of the salts
but only a small amount Of the
carbon dioxide.
It can readily be understood,
therefore, how tremendously i'm.
portant the proper function Of
the kidneys are in maintaining
health. It should likewise be
clear that, since kidney eimin-
alton is fluid in form, the more
water that is drunk the better.
Active and Normal
A kidney is really a kind Of
gland made up of a very deli.
cate and complicated system Of
small tubes. Indeed, the ana
tomical structure is so intricate
that it is not within the prov
ince of a short article like this
to attempt to explain it. It has
been estimated that each kidney
contains IS miles of tubing!

individual possesses two kid
neys, one situated on the right
side and the other on the left
side of the spinal column.

a kidney, count the ribs down.
wards from the top of the chest
until the eleventh rib is reached.
This marks the top level of the
kidney. But, of course, each
kidney is in the back part of
the abdominal cavity and not
in the front.
From the concave side Of each
kidney arises a So-called "ure-
ter" which is really the excre-
tory duct. A ureter from each

the base of the bladder.
Precious Organs
The bladder, of course, is the
reservoir for urine. From each
ureter the urine flows drop by

the bladder a single duct, the
"urethra," opens to the outside
of the body.
Normal urine is Of a pale vel.

slightly acid in reaction. Its
specific gravity is 1920.
These normal characteristics
may not, however, always be
found, even in healthy subjects.
If albumin is present a disturb

of the presence of sugar, which
signifies diabetes as rule.
Since the kidneys are such
