ering splits into two halves, re.
vealing the mace, which is a
yellowish red cover surrounding
the nut itself. This is dried for
a short time, to just the right
degree of brittleness, and it is
then packed and sent to market.
The unbroken nut (Which is
the nutmeg, as we know IT'D, is
dried first in the sun, then by
fire. 1t is then soaked in sea
water and lime, several times,
or else coated with lime. This
is supposed to preserve the fla.
vor. The nutmegs are then
ready for shipment.
The demand for nutmegS Is
very large, and several million
pounds per year are sent to Eu.
rope and America.
Vanilla Plant
Vanilla, so much used as a
flavoring for confectionery and
desserts, is obtained from the
fruit of the vanilla plant. This
plant, amazingly, is a member
of the orchid family, and is
the only poor relation" that
works for its living. Instead
of just decorating ladies Of
fashion, it helps out in the
kitchen, and does a mighty
fine lob, too!
The plant is a native Of
tropical America, and Asia. It
is said that the SpaniardS
found it's fruit in use among
the Aztecs at the time of the
conquest of Mexico.
The flowers are very lovely,
but must be gathered before
they are fully ripe, dried in
the shade, and wrapped in
oiled cotton to prevent their
opening. Inside the outer skin,
there are many seeds embedded
in a dark pulp.
The vanilla of commerce is
prepared from the dried pod,
and the method of preparation
varies greatly in the different
localities.
Cinnamon is the bark of tree
belonging to the laurel family,
and has been used as a spice
for thousands of years. 1t is
one of the oldest known in the
history of mankind.
Cinnamon
Most of the cinnamon that
reaches US comes from Ceylon,
where the trees attain tremen-
dous growth. The bark of the
branches is cut along their en-
tire length, and gradually loos-
ened until it can be removed.
The strips of bark are then
dried in the sun, which curls
them up into tube-like lengths,
and when ready are tied in bun
dies for marketing.
Cassia bark is simply a cheap
er kind of cinnamon, that comes
from a tree growing in China,
and is often called China Gin
namon" in the shops.
Again we have to call a hafC,
and postpone some of the other
spices until next week. There
are so many of them, and they
are all so important in their own
little niche, that I do not want
to hurry through the list too
Sketchily.

Dry Skin Must

Attention !
By JULIET SHELBY

Oy ~ 4AANA OAAA5ADA
It is estimated that 80 per
cent of American women suffer
with a dry skin condition, and
in metropolitan areas, eight
women out of ten.
Steam-heated homes, high
tension living, cocktails and such
are the contributing causes.
These figures were first OBJ.

York beauty salon. This house
decided Immediately to cope
with the dry skin problem.
So they bent their efforts in
creating and experimenting
with creams and lotions that
would benefit the skin lacking
in natural oil protection and
nourishment. They emerged
from their test tubes with a
basic. treatment for the dry
skin which has met with wide
approval.
The treatment is simple-re-
curing only three preparations.
. A. cleansing cream that contains
softening oils, and a nourishing
cream to which is added a few
drops of rich, especially pre-
pared complexion oil.
After cleansing your face
thoroughly, you mix a few
drops of this special oil with a
bit of nourishing cream in the
palm of your hand, and then

Heavy Petting
Is Serious
To Her
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for The
WASHINGTON Times

An apparently homesick
mississippi Miss" writes:
Back home in our
crowd, we don't 60 in for
heavy petting, unless the day
has been named.
But here, along the his
toric Potomac, a treat of
coffee and wheat cakes
seems to carry with it the
right to thirty-third degree
petting.
"Petting without intention
seems to me like faith without
works" There are several young
people from our town and State,
holding down jobs in Washing
ton, and even the young men
seem amazed at the freedom
between young girls and men.
We're not prudeS or 'Josephs,'
but we miss the nice decent
times"
1t is only fair to remind this
young lady that first impress
sions of newcomers can be mis-
leading.
Not all Washington men are
"heavy PETERS" Some are re-
strained, for fear the young Ia
dies may name the day and or
der their trousseaux. Some are
timid, some fastidious.
Petting without serious inten-
ton, as you sagely put its like
faith without works.
You tell me there are several
young people from your home
town in washington. Why not
start a club among them?
Meet at each others houses,
play cards, go to dances to-
gether, and enjoy yourselves as
good times are understood back
home"

In the first place, Fritz is
a wonderfully marked animal.
Fawn colored, he has a coal

a year before being schooled),

For the more mature figure
this is one of the most flatter-

neckline, the supple bodice, and
the paneled skirt of this grace
