Croquettes provide one of the most attractive, ways of using up leftover meats. Or, very often cheap cuts can be boiled and used co excellent advantage in croquettes for company luncheon.
 Almost any kind of meat can be worked up in delicious croquettes. Lamb, veal, tender roast pork, poultry and fish are most inviting used this way. Combinations of meat also are satisfactory. Veal and ham, chicken and ham, and veal and pork are appetizing mix lures.
 There are few precautions to keep in mind If perfect croquettes are to be assured. In the first place the meat must be prepared very carefully. Every bit of skin, fat or gdstle must be discarded and only clear tender meat used in the croquette mixture.
 The meat is then minced and added to a sauce as the sauce is taken from the fire. This is fm- portant because care must be ta- ken not to over-cook the meat. Covering With Crumbs The crumbing and egging is an- other important step in croquette making. Every particle of the sur- face of a croquette must be com pletely covered with crumbs and egg. The reason for this Is that the egg quickly coagulates in contact with heat, forming a coating which the frying fat cannot penetrate. Since this coating protects the del- icate texture of the croquette mixture, carelessness in crumbing and egging may permit the cro- | quette to break during the frying. A first coating of fine crumbs, one of slightly beaten egg and a final coating of crumbs give good re- suits.
 The shaping of croquettes is not difficult task, but here again care must be observed. The mixture must be handled very gently, with the least possible pressure exerted in molding. The usual shapes are ball, cone, cylinder, chop and cut let. The last two shapes require 8 larger amount of croquette mix ture that the others. The follow ing suggestions for shaping may help you:
 TO shape croquettes, first thor OuSnIy WdSU uduuS dlu LiA5O HI cold water by do not dry. Take a rounded tablespoon of the mix ture and place on a molding board and shape quickly into ball first. Then if not wanted In this shape, 1 roll to cylinder and fiatten ends. If cone is wanted, fiatten only one end and gently roll with great CT pressure on other end. The inside of all croquettes should be soft and creamy and the outside crisp and brown.
 | Lamb croquettes are typical of any meat 'croquette. The season. ing is changed for different varie- ties of meat but the basic rule re- mains the same whether. fish, fowl or meat is used.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF EBy Alicia Hart 1E

YOU'LL NEED HEAVY TISSUE ,vREAMS IF YOU'RE BOUND
 FOR WINTER RESORTS

If you've chosen the north for your winter vacation, supply of nourishing cream, a good founda- ton preparation and a big bottle of hand lotion are as necessary as your skis and snowshoes.
 The wind and low temperature at the winter resorts play havoc with delicate complexion. If you don't lubricate your skin and watch 1t carefully for the first signs of dryness or roughness, you will rue the day you started out to ski, skate or toboggan. Begin using heavy tissue cream on the night you arrive. After cleaning your skin and batting 1t with skin tonic, smooth on the nourishlng cream. Work it into the pores, massaging. gently with up- ward and outward motions. Wipe off the surplus but allow a little of 1t to stay on all night.
 Never step out in the icy winds without applying foundation lotion and makeup. The lotion will keep your skin from chapping and get ting rough. Your powder and oth- CT cosmetics will help to protect it. too.
 You can't use hand lotion too of- ten if you're spending your days walking through snow banks and climbing up mountains in zero weather.

 But the door swung into dark ened room. Gypsy drew a long breath of relief. Doubtless he was kept at the office. There was a good deal of extra work now, making up contracts for the new year. But If that was the case, he'd probably been trying 10 telephone her all afternoon to let her know.
 She switched on the aabaster lamp on the drop1eaf table and stood, irrcsolute, for moment. What to do now? Should she wait and see what Toms plans for the evening were: or should she tele- phone the grocer at once and order things for Il late dinner? She de- cided on the latter course and, with kind of wild reaction after her needless fears of awkward explana- tions rushed out, setting the table, making everything gay and fresh against his return.
 The clock struck seven. The gro- cer's boy, bearing chops and vege- tables and materials for salad, had come and gone. Now it was half past oCNCIs u Woo Oi6hbs Anu SSthA no Tom. Gypsy's mood of exultant relief waned-changed to indigna- ton, to apprehension. It was utter ly unlike him not to telephone her. Something must have happened. something dreadful. She could sec him lying somewhere, the victim of reckless driver. Her Tom, hurt, dying, perhaps!
 She put the food back in the ice- box. She had thought she was hum gry, but now the very thought of food sickcned her. She went to the telephone and with trembling fin- gers dialed the number of his off, flee As she had expected, there was no answer. Of course, no one was working at this hour.
 The moments Jagged by. Nine o'clock. Half past. Ten. At five mir- | utes past ten when Gyspy, almost | III with worry, paced the floor Of the living room, Toms key was inserted and the door swung wide. Gypsy ran to greet him. Darling wherever have you been? I've been so worried .'

 She was stricken into silence. What an utter fool she had been, not to tell him at the start. Nothing more innocent than her afternoons s adventure could possibly be imag- ined.

BLAM GOES THE OLD BLUND- ERBCSS. YEAR AFTER YEAR.

Sometimes I wonder if the over educated young doctors today are not as gullible as were the crudely trained practitioners of the nine- teeth century. When I was 8 plod- ding country doctor the large drug and chemical manufacturers sent their representatives out every spring to introduce to the doctors the very latest fancy concoction for cough. The essential formula was the same year after year, a fear some blunderbuss mixture, but some new wrinkle in the style of package or the color or flavor of the medicine invariably arrived in March. It was like the annual mod els in automobiles.
 Today received circular let ter from large drug manufacturer who supplies physicians. am ad- vised that colds, coughs and other respiratory ills begin with the sea- son of months that have "R" in their names. At that, wouldn't 1t be fine if respiratory ills did not occur in the months when oysters are out of season! The manufac- turer'S plea to the incompetents in the profession goes on to say that during the season for respiratory diseases So-andso's Compound with This and That serves a double pur- pose, protective as well as curative. 'The products of cod liver oil, fresh liver, spleen, pancreas, predigested and made easily assimilable, with hypophosphites and iron pepton- ates, tend to fortify the organism for self-defense against respiratory infections, while This and That act specifically on the disease itself"
 There you have Q typical speci- men of the spacious and utterly false reasoning on which many physicians, presumably with scien- tiflc education, base their therapeu- tics or art of treatment. Theoret- ically cod liver oil, the crude, fresh undoctored oil and not any "prod- uct" or derivative, may help child or even an adult to develop nor nal degree of immunity against respiratory infections. This is a theory only, and has by no means been tested out in experience. All the rest of the plausible argument

this medicine vendor sets forth in behalf of his ridiculous blunder- buss nostrum for the quack doctor trade is sheer hokum.
 In this instance the manufactur- CTS appeal Is perhaps a trifie too outspoken, especially where he de- scribes his panacea as having cur- ative" properties and acting "spe- officially" on the disease-what dis ease, goodness knows, the writer of the circular forgot to say. A minor point like that need not worry the dispense such medicine to his un- wary customers.
 Give this circular to the right rewriter and the manufacturer of the nostrum could easily gain &C., cess to our most exclusive medical journal and gain the respect and confidence of some of our most ex- alted medical practitioners. Indeed the official organ of the medical profession of the country is full of just such spacious and unwarranted assertions about the more expen- sive nostrums which the more ex- elusive physicians prescribe, only the wording is just a little more equivocal.

 He said, in that unfamiliar, drag ging voice, that he wasn't hurt what gave her the idea?-but he'd been detained.
 "Unavoidably detained" said Tom with dignity.
 Struck by a new, stabbing sus- picion, Bypsy gazed at him. Was he-no, he couldn't be-drunk! Tom never drank to excess.
 We went to Simms' Club" he said slowly. we were playing cards. We got to talking. Braid l didn't notice the time."
 And all the time was worry ing, eating my heart out, frightened to death." Gypsy said with indlgna- ton. "Oh, Tom, how could you?"
 She was wounded past bearing. This was an unfamiliar person who sat there in her pleasant living room. She just didn't know him. Forgotten was her relief few hours before, on discovering she had reached home before him. All other emotions were swallowed up in a desperate fury at his callous indifference to her feelings. And poker! Tom knew he couldn't af- ford to play cards with Simms and his crowd. He had virtually prom ised to give 1t up. long before theil marriage.
 You lost!" she accused with icy calm. "Oh, Tom, you lost, didn't you?
 He nodded, duly, his eyes on his linked fingers. Of course he had lost. He felt a slow, dull sort of in- dignation at her for having guess ed. Why else should he have stayed 50 late, except that he hoped to win back what had gone before? Gypsy sat down on one end of the daybed. She felt sick. She felt beaten. To try so hard to get ahead, to work and plan and save so anx- iously, and then to have Tom be- have like. this-it was past bearing! She shook her head, dumb with the injustice of it. Tom looked at her with gray face. If he hadn't ! let Simms fill his glass so often, he'd explain to Gypsy now, tell her just why 1t was he wanted that ex- | tra money. It was for her-for her alone!
 But Gypsy's face was cold, still, closed to him. Without a word, she stripped the gayly laid table. put silver and china away in cup boards, folded the cloth. Without a a word she left him, scrubbed, brushed and bathed meticulously She told herself her heart was quite, dead. And she had been feel ing so soft so utterly dependent on Tom just before. She had thought as that dreadful trolley car plough ed homeward, she would tell Tom all about her work in Marko's 1ib- rary and how she had managed to buy the Christmas watch. She had decided that there should be nc secrets between them. It made her so unhappy not to share everything good and bad, with him.
 Now everything was changed everything, she told herself pas sionately. Tom had betrayed hei trust. He had not only forgotten her completely, he had lost money that belonged to them both. She had worked for it, as well as he There was simply no justice in it Deliberately she closed her eyes tC his possible motives. The facti were these: he had been drinking and gambling all day, while sht had been pulling her weight in tht boat.
 Nothing said Gyspy, would evel be the same again. Tom slept or the daybed that night. She locked her door against him.

The world has turned away from truth. It isn't moralists alone who warn us but economists who an- nounce that unless the tide of gen.
 eral dishonesty is stemmed we're in for 1t.

It has been a whole staircase down, however, when law books by their very mag nitude have stressed the saving"

 in all human dealings. In time 1t took the place of truth. And that's where we are now.

 training now for time ahead. Age of Dishonesty
 Children are living to-day in an age of dishonesty unbelievable to most people. It is in the air-on the street-in the home. They see
 the lie in the movies unpunished, they read 1t in the papers in peo- ple's lives. And too they hear the fib at home whenever a parent
 feels justified in not sticking to l facts or to truth.
 There is, think, the permissi- b1e lie. Let us not go into it too | deeply. A lie may save life, save | a happiness, or save reason. That
 is up to mans conscience. But l when it happens that life becomes
 a willy Gubterfuge, one long untruth
 of existence. it is time to go back | to the primitivce and allow for lt- | tie defense.
 The one thing that was stressed
 in the old days, before all others,
 was honesty. For the most part
 the children who learned that les-
 son thoroughly have grown into
 honest men and women. No child
 ever quite forgets his early train
 ing.

 crying need we have to-day. There
 is no other cure. We'll just have

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-says the Journal officiel de Ia Couture Parisienne: "In the Annals of Millinery, the outstanding novelty this season will be the revival of the fashion of head-dress for evening. We owe this note of feminine elegance to the greater extent to Paul Samuel, who is making ornaments for fash ionable gatherings. In the fre- quefted cabarets. at the theatrical galas, every elegant woman boasts of 8 head-dress: turbans, berets, draped toques, bandeaux, are com posed of divers materials which are always trimmed with em- broideries or gured work by Sam uel; his inventive turn has been clever enough to vary styles and effects so as to inspire our premier millinery creators.
 Ma d a me Marie Alphonsine makes a diadem and necklace of interlaced gold threads of browned gold shades--in the Samuel man. ner-that is very favored by fash ions favorites. The diadem is worn not 50 far back on the head as the haif-moon crowns, and from the goiden-brown loops little ques- 1 tion-mark curls stand up all the | way around. The necklace Is straight threads except for the seven loops across the front and is minus the extra curls.
 Long-haired maids and matrons
 (there are still a very few left) are urged by hair -dressers to make diadems of their own tresses, braiding the hair in two long plaits at each ear and crossing it over the crown of the head, holding 1t in place with hairpins topped with large ball pearls or globules of stars.
