Long Engagements Often Fatal
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Helen and I have been en-
gagged for the last three years.
It seems to me that about every
thing has taken precedence of
our marriage. First, there were
old relatives that had to be
looked after-I didn't kick
about that, and now they're
dead.
Then Helen thought we
should have a certain sum
saved for emergencies. I agreed
to that, starved, saved, and
banked my scrimpings with hers
in a joint account. Then she
began worrying about a nephew
as usual I came across.
Now, she doesn't want to give
up her job which she'll have to

Dear Miss Shelby:
Please advise me as to how I
can give proper care and atten.
tion to my skin.
Sincerely, I. C. B.
Dear Mrs. I. C. B.:
Since your skin is sensitive, I
suggest that, even though it is
oily, you use cream for cleans
ing and use a little nourishing
cream at bedtime. Do not leave
it on porus parts, such as nose
and chin.
Use soap and water after
cleansing with cream, finishing
with cold water to close the
pores, then a little cream

or stewed prunes as a piece de
resistance? It is really no more
trouble to prepare the fruit
properly-and, oh, what a dill
ference it does make.
In making compotes, the
fruits are always blanched
first, with a little sugar
added for them to absorb. They
are then put into dishes, and
the fruit syrup is poured over
them.
It is better to blanch the
fruits in thinned syrup than in
water, and they should be
cooked only long enough to
soften, and not be allowed to
lose their shape. Here are a
few recipes for the more COM
monty used fruits now in the
market.
COMPOTE OF APPLES

l Cup Water
Pare and core the apples,
and cut them in quarters.
Pierce them, in several places,
to drain the juice. Boil six of
the cored apples in the sugar
and water, adding the peel and
juice of one lemon. Do not let
them cook too much, but, when
soft, lift them out, and place
in a dish.
Place the remaining six apples
in the syrup, and let them
boil to a jelly. Strain, and
pour the syrup over the first
apples, Sprinkling well with
powdered sugar and nutmeg.
ORANGE COMPOTE
Make a syrup of sugar and
water, adding a little lemon

oranges, cut into quarters, and
lay them in the boiling syrup.
Let cook 10 minutes.

them, and garnish with can.

COMPOTE OF BANANAS

them in halves. Then cook

then add the juice of lemon;

the halved bananas to the hot

done.

The Old KimOno Habit

HC OIU NAAAOAAO AAdUAh
Dear Miss Fairfax:
MY wife has certainly become
very slatternly of late, and as
we have only one child and a
nurse for her, I see no reason
for these down-at-heel habits.
When I leave home in the
morning, she is frequently
dressed in an old kimona, in
which she breakfasts, and when
I come home at night, she is still
in the same unbecomlng cos
tune.
Then she says: IF you don't
mind, dear, I won't change for
dinner" and 1 have to sit op-
posite the same old kimono at
the evening meal which faced
PIT breakfast. It's really most un-
appetizing. DISGUSTED.
Why not insist upon your
wife's seeing a doctor to discover
if there's anything the matter
with her, that she should be so
indolent and down-at-heel, as
you describe. The mere fact OF
this suggestion may make her
take brace.
If there's nothing really the
matter with her, she should be
able to summon enough energy
to look decent at the dinner
table. I don't blame you for balk-
ing at a continued repertoire of
the old kimono.

twice divorced. I'm afraid to try

CROSS STITCH MOTIFS

These simple cross stitch
motifs will add beauty and
color to a great variety of
household linens as well as
blouses and dresses. You can
do the design in a variety of
colors to give it the real peasant
effect or you can do it all in
one color or in two shades of
one color, as you wish. Scarfs,
towels, table linens, and pill

STEWNG FRUITS DEVELOPED MUCH ABROAD THAN IN AER
Bull Terrier Is
Fighter by
Instinct
By LIZ HUME

Stories of the bad temper
of the bull terrier are con-
tradicted by the behavior Of
Spot" bull terrier owned by
Mrs. Timothy B. Costello, 218
Indiana Ave. N. w.
Spot" Mrs. Costello writes
us, is the pet of the neighbor-
hood and although over a year
old and the mother of IL
puppies (eight living) is as
playful as a puppy.
The fact that "Spot" is a
female and a mother may have
something to do with her dis
position. In dogs the female
of the species" is never as
savage as the male. And espe-
cially fem ales who have
mothered a litter or two of
pups.
Courageous
The fighting habits of the
bull terrier have been bred
into the breed for generations.
They have been described as
the game cocks of the CANNES.
They like to fight, love it, in
fact, and have the courage to
go through with almost any
scrap in which they become
involved.
But the fact that the bull
terrier is a fighter does not
necessarily mean that he is
Surly or quarrelsome. A good
dog properly trained, is gentle,
harmless and the most tract
able of pets.
The origin of the bull terrier
is we'll established. He is the
dog developed by Sportsmen in
England when bull fighting was
abolished and when dog fight
ing, now happily frowned upon
in most civilized communities,
became the favorite sport.
Various Types
To secure the type of dog de-
sired, breeders crossed the bull
dog with the terrier. Later the
result of this cross breeding was
the subject of much experiment.
ing. Various types of fighting
bull terriers were produced,
several of which are still in
vogue.
The bull terrier, however, as
we know him is the descendant
of a strain produced about so
years ago by James Kinks, of
Birmingham, En 6 a n d, pure
white, highly refined straight
on the legs and graceful and
smart in appearance.
The new strain differed also
from its predecessors in that it
boasted a long, wedge shaped,
clean cut head. Kinks is be-
lieved to have used both the
pointer and Dalmatlan IN Secur-
ing his results.
Points to be desired in a bull
terrier are a long head and
straight foreface, free from
stop, level mouth, closely set
dark eyes. small ears, short
back and tail straight front and
big rib.
If you have a good picture of
your pet, Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use in this col.
umn. No pictures returned.
1t is also very probable that
some of your experiences would
be of interest and value to other
owners of pets. Address Liz
