I was walking pest the local hardware, store on Main street the other afternoon when out of the open doorway came a red-pronged garden fork. apparently aimed di- rectiy at my middiel On grabbing 1t. however, discovered that Claire Johnson was attached to the other end.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTREss

Paris (UP)-Goethe once said "He who is of his own time, is of all time." Little did he think that this applied also to fashions-be. cause good and sound style that is of its own time, is as truly of all time as the person who compre- hends his own world.
 This applies to Fundamentals of course. and the methods of adopting and adapting these basic laws of dress must vary with each season and each successive gene- ration. The laws themselves are founded each time upon 6 few very simple principles-namely that the current fashion should express the feeling an dthe need of the hour and activity; that 1t should never be conspicuous by its eccentricity, but always obvious by It's discrim- nation; and that above all. {. should be graceful, comforta ble and practical.
 Right now some of the things that meet these requireme in- clude the pastel blue tweed tail. ored suits from Molyneux, worn with lighter blue thick wool dress with organdie bow In shantung bodice, or a navy blue white, and full panelled skirt; an afternoon ensemble of brown angora for the coat. worn with q pink. white and brown printed crepe frock; and for evening lacquered shot with rose petal threads. the entire bodice shirred, with bunch of roses and dew drops fastened at the waist.

Hands that pin a fragile cluster
 of deep purple yiOlets at the
 itaistiine of a trim, new suit on Easter morning must be smooth. soft and white. They need special
 attentlon right now and a few aaod,. sensible reconditioning treat ineuts.
 If your cuticle has become rough and. hafd, invest in q reliable nail cream, designed to soften rough eAgtb and to remove bits of dead akin which accumuiate under the cuticle itself. Massage it in just be- fore you go to bed. Leave 1t on all gigbt.
 Use a nail brush each time you wash your hands and, if little cal- lovses show around the edges os your fingers, smooth them gent ly with q piece of puniice. Re, move discolofations with lemor
 juice.
 In addition, be sure to apply hand lotion several times a day. Get q 9rdaseiess one and put 1t qh wrists and arms as well as
 hands.
 if you have an excessively dry condition, cover your hands with
 tissue cream just before you are ready to go to bed and then wear cotton gloves all night. If you don't have a rich cream, use olive oil.
 Omit liquid polish from your NanicuTing routiheb ftOin now Ihttl Easter. Polish isn't harm ful, of course, but it's not bad idea to give your nails chance to breAthe and become a little. stronger. Substitute powder pol- iph for a few weeks. Then. when you're ready for ydur Easter Sunday manicure, your nails will be in excellent shape.
 Meanwhile, look at some of the new polish shades on the mar ket right now. Thete are lovely pinks, warm reds and some nat tral tones that are fatterifg. Parisian women are wearing the dark shades this spring. However. in this country, it's more than likely that neutral tones will pre- dominate.

Sister Mayy:S Kitchen
By MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Stan Writer

Raw greens and other raw veg etables--carr0ts, turnips, cauli flower, even peas--are the favoritt hors d'oeuvres of the moment. At every tea or cocktail party you go to these days, there Is surt to be colorful tray of crunchy vitaminish vegetables and a good thing, too. Even children are be. ing taught to eat carrot with as much relish as they would a stick of candy.
 We housewives really ought tc be conscientious about putting greens, both raw and cooked. on our spring menus. Think of all the iron, sulphur, phosphorus and what have you considered so es- sential to bodily growth contained in fine mess of mustard greens. or a crisp chefs salad (so-cAl He'd because the most famous chefs make that kind for themselves) of chicory, escarole, endive, lettuce and romalnc.
 Use Little Water
 And whatever else you do when you cook them. don't drown greens in a lot of water.
 Just wash spinach. young chard and beet greens and cook them with the drops of water clinging to the leaves-no extra. Coarser greens like dandellon. kale, chic- ory and escarole need little boil ing water.
 Chieory and escaroie should be cooked young if at all and when they are pale green in color. The leaves become yellowish on ma turity and are more palatable eaten raw with a good tart salad dressing.
 Beet greens are specially good to serve with ham. Boil the end of a ham with the greens. any kind from dandelion to spinach. What could be better for spring dinner than ham and eggs and beet greens? And maybe old-fash- toned strawberry shortcake to eat with them.
 Baked escarole is a good quick luncheon dish. Accompany 1t by creamed tuna fish in rice border, nut rolls. milk and tea.
 Baked Escarole
 One bunch or two pounds esca- role. 4 tablespoons fat or butter, bouillon cube, 1-2 cup boiling water, salt and pepper.
 Blanch escarole by piunging in- to boiling water for five minutes. This removes excess bitterness. Drain and put into q buttered bak- ing dish. Dissolve bouillon cube in boiling waer, add fat or butter and salt. and pepper and pour over escarole. The amount of salt de- bends on the kind of fat you use, With bacon fat less salt will be necessary than if an unsalted fat Is used. Cover baking dish and back in a moderate oven (375 de- grees F.) about 40 minutes, until tender. Serve from baking dish.
 Mint Syrup
 Two cups fresh mint leavei, (minced). 2 cups sugar, cup lemon juice. 1-2 cups water.
 Cover leaves with sugar and pound with q wooden, potato masher. Add lemon juice. and wa. ter and bring to the boiling point. Let simmer fifteen minutes until the mixture is syrvpy. Pour into steriiizer jars and seal.

physical suffering and discom-

The difference is that the
baby has no adequate vocabu-

stakes it OUT in whimpering
and wailing. Any of us prob
ably would do the same, in like
circumstances!
His sleep is less deep and
regular, because the pain wakes
him up. He hasn't his usual
appetite for food-that little
pricking pain demands his at
tention more urgently than his

this time; in fact, feed him
less. Be sure he has plenty of
boiled, unsweetened water to

Season
Recipes

A most important food item
in the Lenten season is fish
canned or fresh. There are un-
limited possibilities at hand in
everything from the provocative
hors d'ouevres to regal baked
whole fish.
Crea my combinations, the
bolder, more flavorful Creole
and Spanish dishes, fresh
broiled delicacies, salads galore,
sandwiches, crunchy croquettes
are just a few of the endless list
at your disposal.
It need never become monoto-
nous for you have so much from
which to choose oysters;
shrimp, canned or fresh; lob
ster, crabmeat, halibut, salmon,
mackerel, Goldfish, and on and
on. AS one specific example you
will find this nodded asparagus
ring not only decorative. but just
as good as it looks. It would
prove a real prop" for your
buffet table setting.
Nodded Asparagus Ring
2 tablespoons plain gelatin.
u cup cold water.
y cup vinegar.
2 cups boiling water.
"a cup sugar.
/ teaspoon salt.
l large can asparagus tips.
Veal salad.
Soak gelatin in cold water five
minutes. Add vinegar, sugar,
salt and boiling water and stir
until sugar and gelatin are dis
solved. When the mixture be-
gins to stiffen, pour a small
amount in a ring mold and let
stand until firm. Place aspara-
gus tips around the side Of the
mold close together Clip end
DOWN. Then pour in more gela-
tine and let stiffen. Place Sec
ond row of asparagus tips.
Cover with remaining gelatin.
Chill. Unmold. Fill center of
mold with well-SeaSoned veal
salad. GarniSh with radish
roses and celery curls.
Fish Salad
2 cups flaked cooked fish
2 cups diced celery
Lemon juice
IA cup sliced ripe olives
119 cups mayOnnaise
Have all the ingredients
chilled. Toss together and serve.
In many sections of the coun-
try fresh vegetables seem to be
available almost the entire year,
but there is a tremendous con-
sumption of the canned goods
during the Lenten season. You
will undoubtedly find this baked
casserole dish very good.

Give That Buffet Supper

Are you looking for a new
way to entertain your friends?
Do you sigh when you think of
the dinners you owe? Then
give a buffet supper. It's a sure
recipe for a good time.
A few flowers, soft candle.
light, good food and plenty Of
1t, and you have the essence of
q buffet supper. It's a friendly
affair at which strangers be-
come good friends while they
help themselves and each other.
You can pay back all your
scores at one time whether you
entertain six or twenty-six, and
all the furnishings you need are
some chairs to sit on and a
table large enough to hold the
food. We wager that once you
have tried it you will do it again
and again.
Serve Good Food
Chiefly, it is the food that
counts. Well-seasoned, tasty
food in quantities to satisfy
hungry appetites is what you
must have. That doesn't mean
an elaborate menu with rich food
that takes time to prepare. And
here's a hint: Plan your menu
50 that your guests will not need
knives. There's nothing harder
to manage than a knife and
fork while balancing a plate on
your knee.
A good menu reads something
like this:
Chicken a la King
Hot Buttered Rolls
Assorted Relishes
Jelly or Conserve
Sailed Nuts
Frozen Fruit Salad
Coffee

Here are some other sugges.
tons for special occasions in

top row of Sits. running the
rod right through them. There's
a small heading for neatness
left at the top. If that's a little
too long, the next row of Sits
may be used, leaving bigger
heading. Then for shorter cur
tains, you can double the cur
tain down without cutting it,
and run the rod through two
sets of Sits.
These curtains have another
advantage, which is especially
good for summer. They are of
coarse, meshy lace, heavy
enough to be used without
draperies. With their nice head
ing, they can be hung alone,
pushed back to give you the
best of the breeze, yet they will
still be adequate decoration for
your windows.
These ingenious curtains,
with three rows of Sits for
easier adjustment come in the
usual "a yard length, and are
from $1.95 up for a pair, in
cream or ecru. With one row
of Sits, for standard windows,
they are from $1.49 up, and
have all the same advantages
except adjustment.
If you want some draperies to
go over the curtains, or to
freshen up a room that you al
ready have glass curtains for,
the store that sells these new
adjustable curtains has fine
ready-made draperies, too, from
$1.95 to $4.95 for the pair.
Some are lined, some are not,
and all are in new fabrics from
the spring lines.

Prompt Treatment

Another old wives tale which
is untrue, dangerous and ut
terly to be diSregarded Is that
teething naturally is accompa-
MED by diarrhoea; that this
condition is beneficial to the
teething child.
Such a development, on the
contrary, is never to be tolera'
ted or neglected. It always con.
tains elements of potential
danger. 1 shall have more to
say about this in later articles;
here I merely wish to assure
mothers of teething children
to obtain proper medical treat
ment at once for any form Of
bowl disturbance. The promp-
ter the treatment, the more
quickly the child will respond.
Delay may mean serious trouble,
even death.
II there are no signs of dis
ease, however, don't worry about
the baby'S teething frettulneSS,
don't try to alleviate it with
drugs except on medical ad-
vice. don't rub ointments or
salves on the gums unless your
doctor tells you to treat them.
If they seem badly swollen, you
can always consult him. Don't
use a teething ring-it is likely
to carry germs.
While there are great varia.
tions in the ages when teeth
appear, the youngest who has
none by the time he is a year
old had better be taken to your

Washington TimesJ
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm 81 years of age, and my
wife is "a. When we lived back
home" we got along magnificent
ly. But now we are here, our re-
lations have changed. Washing
ton is so different.
My wife's uncle is a big shot
in the Government, and he is
especially devoted to his niece,
and wanted her to be here. So I
got a job, which doesn't pay
any better than my job back
home, and I fine the expenses
more than twice as much.
On account of her uncle's
position, we have a great many
social invitations, but when we
go to parties, she's too anxious
to be popular, especially If
there's any good looking man
around, to talk pretty and dance
with her. And washington,
strange to say, seems to be the
unmarried woman's paradise.
I have surprised myself by
being as jealous as Othello,
but when talk of going back
home, the little lady will have
none of it.
ANXIOUS HUSBAND.
Haven't you allowed your
self to grow a little morbid in
cultivating an attitude that is
likely to spoil your life, and
ALLEVIATE your wife.
In the circles in which you
evidently move, your wife is
expected to be agreeable ana
entertain men who are ur1.

associates. She is expected to
dress we'll and look well, and If
she looked like a trump, you
would be the first to be
ashamed of her. Do please try

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please tell me about

How soon should you return

Always the hostess greets
the guest with a handshake and

guest leaves, whether the guest
is a woman or a man. And
the gracious hostess, too, al
