FOODS FAVORABLE TO BEAUTY - LIGHT FOOD AND REST
 DURING SHOPPING
By KATHLEEN MARY QUINLAN
Stylist in Beauty

food it requires for fuel, and the periods of rest and relaxation - perhaps not more than ten or fif- teen minutes at a time-which it should have throughout the day.
 If you are downtown during the morning. do not keep on from the time the shops open until late luncheon without stopping to rest and have a little mid-morning bite or a cup of hot chocolate with a few wafers. Coffee shops and foun- tains are scattered up and down the streets of every city, sometimes two or three to the block in the business section; the time taken out will not be serious inconven- fence.
 Then, instead of having a hearty luncheon-as you would be inclin- ed to order had you waited from early morning breakfast until late noon-take something as easily di- gested as a bowl of cream soup with a lettuce and egg sandwich and a cup of tea or coffee; or per haps just the soup and light des- sert such as fresh orange layer cake or fruit tart. or sweet sandwich of cream cheese and jelly. with which a stock soup would perhaps go better than one made with cream.
 In mid-afternoon again stop for a cup of tea or chocolate-or cof- fee, if you must have 1t. A few tiny tea sandwiches would seem very good at this point but if economy forbids them, the whole wheat wafers, graham crackers or shortbreads, such as any fountain or tea room serves gratis with tea, will be entirely sufficient.
 Follow this program faithfully while shopping this year, and l am sure you will find it so helpful that you'll never forget the comfort and the benefit received from it.

Minccmeat-Core large red ap- ples, being sure to remove all the core, but do not cut through to the other end of the apple. Pierce with a fork in several places, and ar- range apples in a shallow baking dish. Fill cavity of each with pure mincemeat and pour over them a syrup made by boiling together for six minutes, cup sugar and 1 1-2 cups water. Sprinkle apples with sugar and bake in a moderately hot oven (about 400 degrees F) until tender. basting often with the syrup.
 Potato and Olive Salad-Peel and dice one quart cold, cooked po- tatoes. Add tablespoons grated onion, 1-2 cup stuffed Spanish ol- ives, sliced, and Mayonnaise to moisten. (Add celery, if desired.) Serve very cold in nests of lettuce, garnishing each salad attractively with slices of hard cooked egg.
