We might use our beef roast

menus so different and interest
ing that roast beef could ap-
pear regularly every Sunday or
oftener without becoming mono
tonous. OF course, this would
be true as well for steak,
chicken, boiled or other dinners.
Even the breakfast StandbyS

number can be lifted from the
depths of monotony by adding
to the list new accessories such
as hot breads, varied in mix

The new zinnia and mahogany
shades are flattering to this

The Beauty
Box

Fur has a persistent way of
hanging onto perfume, so that's
the place for the costly scent.
Instead of dabbing perfume
back Of the ears, the old style
method, use an atomizer and
spray the hair. Or, place a
sachet in the crown of each
chapeau. Sachet is an eco
nomical investment. Smells
elegant, lasts a long time.
Surprising how many dear
hearts are taking up the paper
curl, having it done in the
beauty emporium or attempting
it themselves. The hair is part
ed into inch squares, each
wound in a flat circle, beginning
at the end, working up toward
the scalp.
Body balance is necessary for
beauty of silhouette. It is
achieved by lifting the chest,
holding the mead erect, Sendlng
hips backward, flattening the
tummy. making the legs feel
stretched. Then one has not only
balance but perfect posture.
Dentists deplore the practice
of piling dentifrice on tooth
brush, scrubbing teeth, using too
little water. The thing to do,
after distributing the powder or
paste, is to keep holding the
brush under the faucet, rinsing
the mouth we'll.
Treatment for lines across the
forehead: Anoint with a heavy
cream, place fingers in center
of forehead, work outward in
little circles. Place fingers of
both hands together, rub up and
down, moving also from side to
side.

Accessories in clothes, in our

CHAPTER XIII

But according to Kim's
mother there was nothing right
about the whole affair.
She returned from Florida
two weeks after Mary Faith
had gone back to work, and
she came straight to Mrs. Puck
ett's where Mary Faith was es-
tablished with the baby.
1t was late on Saturday af-
ternoon and the old house was
filled with the warm and COM
Portable odor of baked pork
and-beans that Mrs. Puckett
always had for dinner on Sat
urday night.
There was a wood fire burn
ing in the parlor and Mary
Faith sat on the rug in front
of it, showing little Kim a box
of wooden animals, when the
door bell rang.
She heard Mrs. Puckett go
numbering into the dark hall
to answer it, and then the
sound of her full round voice
and another voice-Mother Far
rell's. The two of them loud
and high, each trying to drown
out the other:
Game to see the dear baby
Right in here in front of the
fire"
Just got back from Flor
ida today! Couldn't stay long.
Doctors patients, you know.
Won't let him have even a
honeymoon in peace"
Kim's mothers voice had won
the contest. Loud and high
and strong it seemed to march
ahead of her into the old par
lor like a butler announcing a
guest at a big party.
Nana's Baby
where's my baby? Where's
Nana's baby? She came swiftly
and heavily into the room,
dressed from head to foot in
white as if she wanted to let
people know that she had been
in Florida-as Mrs. Puckett
remarked later to Mary Faith.
In one of her hands she car
ried a small basket of oranges
which she gave to little Kim.
Darling baby! Did he miss
his Nana?" she wanted to
know, holding his small wrig-
Cling body close to her own
large one. There was a hint
of tears in her eyes when she
let him go and stood up. Mary
Faith knew how easily she
could shed them and how little
they meant at any time.

brokenly to Mrs. Puckett who
was moving slowly toward the
doorway, evidently very reluc-

woman leaves her husband"

Now then, there are so AS in

you crossed out. If you missed
only two you may consider your
concentration efficient, pro-
vided you did not take longer
than two minutes.
If your time was longer than

that your concentration is ade-

work as fast as do some others,
a point that is no reflection
whatever upon your mental

1t is fun to devise similar
tests of your own-such as
Cancelling a certain digit out

Debunkins Tea
FalIacies

Like most other people, you've
probably always thought that
green tea and black tea were
two separate and distinct spe-
cies of the tea family. If such
has been the case you and
most of the other people have
been all wrong.
Black and green tea leaves
are blood brothers and sisters.
They both start life green on
the same bushes. It's the diff
ference in their respective up
bringing that makes Cne the
black tea of the family and
leaves the other green.
When they are very young,
tea leaves are plucked from the
bushes and the process of max
ing them presentahle for your
tea party begins. At this point
in a tea leafs career it is de-
cided whether it shall be
brought up to be a black tea or
a green tea. If it is lo be a
black tea it is allowed to fer
ment at a special time during
the process of manufacturing.
If it is to be green tea this step
is left out. This fermentation
period is what turns these leaves
black and distinguishes them
from their green brothers and
sisters.
In the tea family there is
no stigma attached to being
either a black member or
green member of the family. If
they have been looked after
from start to finish by experts
they will be Of equally high
standing in tea circles and your
taste, not their color. will de-
eide which one is to receive
your particular favor.

Many individuals-men, wom-
en- and children-find difficulty
with their powers of concen-
tration.
What happens, of course, is
that the mind wanders"-that
is, attention fixes itself upon
other things than the task in
hand. Often even a deliberate
act of the will fails to force
concentration along the type of
mind activity desired, with the
result, of course, that the task
is poorly performed or not at
all.
Indeed, the complaint Of
Somehow can't concentrate"
is familiar enough.
You pick up a book to read
and presently you realize that
you have been reading a half
or full page without knowing in
the slightest what it is about.
Or you keep reading the same
passage over and over again
and, somehow, although it pre-
sents no special difficulty, you
cannot grasp it's meaning.
Faulty Concentration
These two examples of faulty
concentration are commonly
met with. There are others.
And when poor concentration
ability becomes habitual, not
only is it a nuisance but a tre-
mendous waste of valuable time
as well, not to mention the
embarrassment that may go
with it.
Following is a test which will
tell you whether your concen-
tration is really up to par, even
though you may think it is not
as good as it should be, or
whether it is really below par.
The technical name of this
proce edure is "Cancellation
Test" because, with a pencil,
you are to cross out all the let

And welcome only what is good.

all, and makes the most effective
remedy that money could buy. Keeps
perfectly, and children love its taste.
Its quick action in loosening the

FASHIONS By Wilma LoVNe

High crowns are undoubtedly
on the way back, according to
the millinery authorities of this
country and abroad. They are
destined to replace the rag Of a
hat" that we have worn and
loved so long. The Turkish, Mo-
roccan, or Algerian fez is in
spiration for many Of these
hats. The first fez types we
see are for street wear, changed
so that they are morewearable,
and suggesting the fez only in
silhouette. Riboux started them,
and most of the hats in Wash
ington are more o. less like the
Rebox fez, though rather
modified, so they won't look so
extreme.
To Replace Beret
Rumor has it that more typi-
cal versions of the feZ, perhaps
of felt, and with tassel at
tached, will be adopted by the
young and smart, to take the
place of the Basque beret that
has had such a long run. The
fez looks like a logical and
smart successor to the beret,
and will be easier for many peo-
pie to wear, because it is more
of a hat. The Turk wears his
fez on the back Of his head, but
we will probably wear ours
tilted forward, according to the
present fashion. Somewhat re-
lated to the fez is the cuffed
hat of Russian or Oriental in
spiration, which you've seen
here already.
Straw Versions
These new shapes are already
in Washington stores. We've
sketched three particularly good
ones for today In the upper
left hand corner is a black
straw cloth fez. hand, tassel
and all. It would be perfect
with a spring suit. The hat in
the center is of black milan, and
and has one red feather, two
speckled in beige and brown.
On the right is a navy blue
hat with corded crown, and
glistening straw band, that
stands out in Oriental fashion.
Perhaps it is its wisp of a veil
that makes it a bit more fasci-
mating.
For fashion information or

you can find these hats, write

"MARY FAITH"
By BEATRICE BURTON

Faiths tongue to say that
she had not left Kim but that
he had left her, when Mrs.
Puckett spoke up sharply.
You ought to know Mrs.
Farrell" she said with a quick
up-and-down movement of her
head. You left your husband
too, didn't you?" And in spite
of her size she fairly whiSked
through the ruby velvet cur
tains that hung in the door,

thing packed up ready for me

mother said when she was gone.
II certainly was surprised when
I unlocked the flat a few min.
utes ago and found that you'd
just taken your belongings and
walked out of it," She set her
lips.
"I left everything in pretty
good order, think" Mary Faith
defended herself. "I didn't have
any money to have your things
packed up, Mother Farrell. Kim
left me practically penniless-
and he told me he wouldn't
send me a cent until filed
suit to divorce him. I had to
go to work just as soon as I'd
moved down here and found a
nurse for the baby"
you're working?" Mrs. Far
rell raised her eyebrows. Where
are you working, for PHYS
sake?"
Il went back to Nesbit's. Jean
Bartlett-you remember Jean
Bartlett?-well. she got married
and that left my old job open.
So I took it,"
Mother Farrell's big pale
mouth snapped open and she
shook her head in a series of
little jerks.
Il don't understand your do
ing that, Mary Faith!-I can't
imagine what Kimberley thinks
of it. You know how jealous
he has always been-I always
thought it was funny if Kim
berley was jealous of him un-
less there was some reason for
his being jealous.
Mary Faith got to her feet,
her blue eyes blazing suddenly
like blue flame.
Don't you dare say a thing
like that to me-" She spoke
evenly and quietly as very
quiet people often do when
they are angry. "You know
that Kim never had any rea-
son to be jealous of Mark
NeSbit or any other man that
I knew. I wouldn't be work
ing for MARI Nesbit now if
Kim hadn't left me without a
cent-Id be here taking care
of my baby all day, as ought
to be-"
Kim's mother stood her
ground. you may have to
work but you don't have to
work for Nesbit," she said
firmly. And if that's what
you insist on doing I don't
blame Kimberley for wanting a
divorce"
1t was useless to argue with
her-to try to explain things
to her. She was going to be-
lieve what she wanted to be-
lieve aFout Kim. She always
had and she always would.
Mary Faith knew that.

you took for a friend; the 81,
ness with a scratch.
The above explains a frag-
ment from an irate mothers
letter:
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
with the world to choose
from, why did my son marry
a cat? Very sleek and pretty
is tabby, my daughter-in-law.
but her claws are never hid
den. When she scratches, she
says it was just in fun"
The Great Question
Why. indeed, did the young
man, with all the world to
choose from, marry a cat?
Some things must forever re-
main beyond our feeble under
standing - why we hold a
uuadrennial circus to nominate
a President; why women go
on wearing hats that are more
and more unbecoming; why
one person falls in love with
another?
Solomon, regarded as adept
in the ways of wisdom. reck-
oned "the way of a man With
a maid" a mystery, but the re-
verse of the idea-the way
of a maid with a man-Solo.
mon with his unprecedented
experience simply didn't tackle.
It was too much for him-as
he very likely discovered when
some little slave girl twisted
him, in all his glory, round
her finger. and he demanded
of the head butler if there were
any good apples in the pantry
as he "was sick of love-" ,
You can become what is calleo
"nutty" trying to figure out why
some men fell for some women,
and chief among these matri-
monial puzzles is the wife-tabby.
Sometime, during the wooing,
the man must have seen the
sharp little claws protrude be-
yond the velvet, as she me-
owed a few nasty back-handed
compliments against some other
girl. He should have known that
"felis domestica" was beside
him, purring and me-owing in
her cattiest manner.
Why didn't he have flash
of warning, seize his hat and
fly before it was too late? For
a cat must always have some
thing on which to whet her
claws. You, your family, your
friends, your business associ-
ates-it's all one to pretty tabby.
Felis Domestica, or the Cat
Lady, we have had with us
from the beginning. There
have been so many of them in
history that a roster of their
names would swamp the small
amount of space allotted me by
the editor. Lillith, Adams first,
heads the list,
Just a Hangover
Felis Domestica is a hangover
from the good old days when
there was no career but mar
riage open to a woman. She
married, or she was a failure.
And she didn't stop at much
to prevent being a failure. Her
little claws were often red, with
out having to go to the mani
curist.
When the world was thrown
open to women-high schools,
colleges, jobs, votes-catS in
human form began to grow
scarcer. Decent women were
ashamed of being catty. And,
with better conditions, FeliS
Domestica will become extinct.
Folklore tales of the future
will speak of her as an imagi-
nary creature; but not yet, alas!
The cat was evolved from
the green-eyed monster, Jeal-
ousy-once an almost univer-
sal endowment of our sex. But
your modern woman is ashamed
to exhibit this particular clov-
en-hoof today. If nature has
endowed her with that Vic
torian vice of cattiness, she
realizes how unloVely it is and
conceals it with a borrowed
mantle of charity.
But the men who marry cats
Heaven pity them! Why
