What and How
I can describe, however, in a

babies gain on it, and digest it
easily.
We like to have them take

have been giving them from
four to fifteen calories above
the normal amount for children

Use Grades
In Buying
Potatoes
By BETSY CASWELL

W0n1Gn'S Page Editor
AS a rule potatoes seem
far too prosaic to ever be
thought of as acting the role
of gay deceiver, or deep-dyed
villain.
However, according to the
Bureau of Home Economics,
of the Department of Agri-
culture, some "spuds" are
exactly that-for while their
exterior is smooth and un-
blemished-inside they may
be hiding what experts call
"hollow heart" and "black
heart.
Amusing, isn't it? But anus

innocent colleagues is a serious
blow to the housewife who

ing with the proper thorough.
ness.
Easily Seen
Therefore, the Department
OF Agriculture has come to
the rescue with suggestions for
selection and preparation which
are the result of exhaustive
tests conducted by their various
bureaus.
When buying potatoes, first
look at their general condition,
You want them sound, smooth,
Shallow-eyed, and reasonably
clean, naturally, for dirt is un.
attractive, even if it does not
injure the eating quality, and,
also, it may conceal defects.
You do not want potatoes that
are sprouting, wilted, leathery
or discolored in any way.
These are all troubles that
may be easily seen by the pur-
chaser. "Blackheart" and "hol.
low heart" however, leave no
outside trace, and the only way
to protect yourself against pur-
chasing potatoes containing
these defects is by paying at
tention to the grading. This
grading is done by Government
inspectors,
Types
Dry, mealy, potatoes are best
for baking and mashing. The
more waXy varieties, because
they hold their shape better, are
best for salads and creaming.
For deep-fat frying, avoid DO
tatoes that have been kept at
too low a temperature, as some
of the starch turns to sugar un-
der these conditions, and such
potatoes brown too much and
too quickly at frying tempera-
lures.

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Birthday COrsage

Birthday COrsage
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When attending a girls birth
day party, should a young man
take a present, and if he does,
what would you suggest? have
had many friendly arguments
concerning this question.
When entering a tn e ter
should a woman precede a
young man when attending to-
gether. MALE READER.
It's a pleasant and gallant
gesture for a young man to
send the young lady a corsage
to arrive at her home on the
afternoon of the birthday
party, or to take the corsage
with him to the party. Or he
may send or take a box Of
candy, or a book, or a box Of
good-looking letter-paper.
When they enter the theater,
the man steps aside and lets
the woman enter as he pre-
Sents the tickets. After he has
handed the tickets to the usher,
he may either let the woman
follow the usher, he following
the woman, or he may prefer
to go first and see that the
correct seats are given and be
in position to help her into the
row in which their seats are
located.
Either form is correct-the
man must decide which he pre-
fers, which he thinks more help
full. When there are no ushers,
no assigned seats, he definitely
should 80 first, to find" the
seats.

matter of types came up, they
made it pretty general . they
were having sports clothes,
street clothes, even luncheon
and not-too-f o m a afternoon
things all shorter.
It happened that we were
showing knitted things at the
time, and instead of having
skirts down about the lower
part of the calf, we liked them
up an inch or two. Some of
them were really midcalf. The
judges liked them all much bet
ter, and when we hadn't put
them a little higher, several
times they asked to have them
shown with hem up just a little.
Since then I've asked a good
many store people for opinions,
and they, too, agree that skirt
lengths will creep up. most of
them say an inch, some say as
much as two inches, for the
spring and summer season.

N. W.
Dear N. W.:
You should apply a light film
of cream, leave on a few mo-
ments and remove with tissues.
Apply lemon juice and leave II
to dry on the skin. You can
dilute it before applying, or yoW
can mix the fresh lemon juice
with a little cold cream.
Another remedy for freckleG
is tomato juice or peroxide d.
luted three parts. Buttermilk
is another home remedy. A
good pack, bleaching in effect,
is buttermilk mixed with corn
meal to a smooth paste not
soft enough to run. Apply on
strips of cheese cloth to back
of neck and arms.

He's Changed
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
What would you think Of a
boy who said one week he loved
you more than anything else
in the world, and the next week
seemed to act sort of cool to-
ward you? Is it because he is
growing tired of me? S.W.
You may have shown too
quickly how much you cared.
That sometimes has the effect
of frightening them away.
In these days of economic

is his on loan.
Our illustration shows how a
room may be fitted happily for
two children-a girl about 7
and a boy about 3.
But the plan may be simpli-
fled. You might use a corner of
a large room, if you can't spare
more space. Child-sized furni-
ture may easily be made by
father or a carpenter.
