Delicacies
InFoieGras
ForLuxury
Goose or Other Kinds
of Liver Used on
Sandwiches.
BY EDITH NJ. BARBER.

MY DEAR Miss Barber-Will you
please settle an argument for
US? Is foie gras made only from goose
liver, or may other liver be used for
it?"
So goes a question from letter
which recently came to my desk. The
literal translation for this word is
"fat liver" and it has come to mean
that luxury foie gras made from the
livers of geese, which are fattened
specifically for the enlargement of
their livers. Strasburg and Toulouse,
in France, are noted for their foie gras.
We are most familiar with the pate
or paste, but the whole liver, which
is known as foie gras au naturel, is
considered an even greater delicacy
1t is sometimes served hot as a first
course.
While no other liver paste is quite
like that which is made from goose
liver, it is possible to make a very
good spread for sandwiches or canapes
from other kinds. / sometimes take
the common liverwurst. force it
through a coarse sieve, mix 1t with
an equal amount of softened butter
and season it with lemon juice. This
Is also very good used in combination
with aSpic jelly. I pour a little of
the liquid jelly in the bottom of a
ring mold, chill it until set, then add
layer of the liver paste and pour in
the rest of the liquid. When this is
set it may be turned out on to a ring
mold on to large platter. The CEN
ter should be filled with a mixed
vegetable salad. I am giving you two
recipes for liver paste which think
you will find delicate in flavor:

Girls Need No Paint
or Powder; Guard
Cleanliness.

NEAR boys and girls: Growing boys
~ and girls who have reached the
self-ccnscious stage of the teens have
trouble with their skins. Pimples are
a bothersome trial. Dull skin given to
freeouent eruptions of one sort or
another is a common scourge. The
children try to cover the annoying
effects of these difficulties with powder
and paint. That is mistake.
Paint and powder will not cure q
iskin defect. They are more likely
to make it worse. Health is the cure
for skin troubles. 1t is easy enough for
young people to attain it and along
with it the beauty of youth, than which
there is no greater loveliness in all
the world.
Youthful skins need a good soap.
This need not mean a highly colored
and strongly perfumed soap. 1t does
mean a soap free from strong ele-
ments that burn and dry the skin
Get a mild soap, one that is made OF
clean fat, one that smells good to you
Use it with plenty of warm water
Cleanliness is the foundation OF a
healthy, beautiful skin.
If pimples are bothering you wash
well with your favorite soap and warm
water. Rinse of with warm clear
water. Pat your face dry with a soft
towel. Now take bit of ice in white
linen rag and ice the skin swiftly
Don't hold the ice on any one place
but gently cool the skin with it. Do
this every day for while. 1t will help
Attend to your diet. You love sweets
That is because you need the energy
the sugar gives you. Don't overdo it
Go as lightly as you can on desserts
and still get enough sugar for daily
needs. Eat vegetables, plenty of them
Drink water, as much as you like
and more. Water helps keep your skin
clear and its color good. Sleep long
nights with fresh air in your room
Walk couple of miles every day
Keep happy in your mind. If you do
this, your skin will soon be glowing
like the rose.
Schoolgirls need no paint and pow
der. Grown-up people use them be-
cause they want to have as lovely
skins as the schoolgirls have. Age
destroys the texture and color of the
skin, especially if it has been over
done with cosmetics. Leave these for
the grown-up people who need them
You don't need them because you have
what they are supposed to give you
in far better quality and truer beauty
Girls and boys want to be beautiful
to look at, and that is as it should be-
The trouble is that they go the wrong
way about it. They think that such
simple everyday things as vegetables,
fresh air, exercise and healthy
thoughts have nothing to do with
such an important matter as beauty
They have all to do with it.
Beauty is deeper than the skin. II
is the flower of health-health oi
body and health of mind. Cultivate
these and you need no help from the
beauty counters. Wait until your age
demands them.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. ID.
A MISTAKE made by one suffer-
ing with indigestion is thinking
that if he or she does with as small
an amount of food as possible, it
will be easier" on the digestive
organs.
Those who, because of fear or be-
cause of actual disease of the diges-
tive tract, suffer much from indiges-
ton keep leaving out of their diet one
food after another that they think
diSagrees with them, until they come
to subSist upon a very restricted diet.
In general, the diet becomes so poor
from the chemical standpoint that
malnutrition and loss of weight
result.
The nervous system needs definite
amount of certain foods, and when
these are not eaten, the nervous sys-
TEN can be definitely harmed. The
foods containing mineral salts are
especially necessary to the nervous
system, and as you know, the nerves
regulate the body processes. Thus
these nervous inward looking, excitable
and emotional individuals should make
sure of liberal supply daily of foods
containing minerals.
The foods rich in minerals are milk,
cheese, leafy vegetables, egg yolk.
whole grains, liver. sea foods, nuts,
dried fruits, fresh fruits.
The foods poor in mineral salts are
fat pork, bacon, lard and suet, butter,
salad oil, sugars. confectionery, puri-
fed starches and white f1ours.
Fortunately no harm comes from
eating an excess of mineral foods.
If the amounts of fruits and veg
etables, eggs and meat in the diet must
be limited on account of the expense,
it is wise to use whole grain breads
and breakfast cereals instead of those
made from highly milled grains.
The way to make sure of providing
safe surplus of mineral elements is
to include in each days menu liberal
amounts of one or two foods rich in
each of the mineral elements calcium,
phosphorus and iron as mentioned
above.

The suite in the accompanying
photograph is both practical and
beautiful. The wood is solid maple,

thentic reproduction of an old New

AS time goes on the upholstered

Comfort and simplicity are splendid
foundations on which to build living

you have laid such foundation, don't
spoil 1t by a clutter of useless acces-
sories. Fancy ash trays. grotesque
doorstopS, frilly waste baskets, or too
fancy lamp shades can completely ruin
the effect. Keep all the little things
as simple as the main pieces of furni-
ture, and your room will be in lovely
harmony. Be ruthless about eliminat-
ing things that you think are not "just
right''-even if they have been in the
family for years, or have been donated
by a misguided relative. After all,
just because your mother-in-law used
to have a blue and white china UNI
brella stand in her hall is no reason
you should have to have it in yours,
if it doesn't suit your particular lay
out. On the other hand. of course. If
you have planned your hall along

the right thing to enhance its effect.

Scar on Hairline.
Dear Miss Leeds-I have a bald
spot about the size Of my little finger
nail right at the peak of my hair.
My mother says this is due to a fall
had as child. I am sensitive about
it and can only conceal it by parting
my hair on one side How can I
dress my hair to cover it? (2) I have
blackheads on my nose. When I
squeeze them, the little holes look kind
of black. use soap and water every
day. CONSTANT READER.
Answer-You might wear bangs.
Have the part come well above the
bald spot so that when the bangs are
combed down they will cover it. (2)
Before removing the blackheads, lather
your nose well with warm water and
soap, rinse well. Do not squeeze the
blemisheS, but use blackhead re-
mover, an inexpensive little instru-
ment sold for this purpose. After
gently pressing out the blackheads,
lather the skin again, then rinse we'll
in warm water. Battle your nose in
cold water for several minutes after
ward. Wash your face with soap and
water twice day, always finishing
with cold rinse. Remove a few of
the blackheads every day.

get some atrocities in your Weddlng
presents. but the number of these may
be greatly reduced if you tell your
friends Just what you are planning
for YOUR various rooms and suggest
something that will actually help the

THE shops here in town are full OF

a real idea of how your finished room

There are several things to remem-
ber, however, when purchasing rooms
full of furniture. In the first place, you
are buying something that you hope
will last you for many years. There

There are general claSsifications for
furniture, any one of which will be
good for years-if the individual
pieces are not too "faddy" and ultra

grouped under the heading of mod

beauty and purity of line. as well as
the most hideous futuristic exaggera-
tions.
T FIND nearly everywhere an in
creasing tendency in the shops
toward good taste and conservatism.
The buyers are all helping the Gus
toners in choosing the better things
by presenting less low-grade stuff for

are within the reach of practically

terials are not quite so rich, and

- TREET frocks. daytime frocks,
town frocks, call them what you
will, these in-between frocks are
important in the Summer ward
robe. The one in the accom-
panying sketch is characterized by
Just enough simplicity to interest the
woman who has smart but thrifty in
clinations.
It has a distinctly new silhouette.
The skirt does a good job at slimmlng
the figure and the bodice is charm
ingly finished with a duplex collar. at
the side of which nestleS a modish
bunch of purple violets.
In line with the trend toward orig
inality in street frocks, this one is made
with front and back openings, and a
circular peplum that is short but I'M
portant.
This is one of those refreshingly
smart little frocks which will be the
rage when we shed our top coats. The
design is simple, once you see how 1t
is made. 1t has a high and squared
neckline that achieves a youthful look
by having white contrast in the collar.
Kimono sleeves are finished with mar
row cuffs that turn back. The skirt
is in two cores, and has superlatively
slender lines.
Prints of many kinds are recon-
mended for this dress. They may be
silk, synthetic, linen, cotton or thin
wool challie. Polka dots are the most
popular of all for informal wear. They
make up smartly and somehow man
age to look cooler and crisper than
other designs in hot weather. They
are available in every color and many
sizes, and their backgrounds may be
light or dark.

In my daily diet I include energy

highly seasoned foods. Other than
the fruit juices that I take at inter-

The Old Gardener Saws :

Peas are among the earliest
vegetables to plant. They are cool
weather vegetables and do not
thrive after hot weather comes.
1t is well to make three plant
ings at intervals of 10 days in
order to have a long succession,
but peas should be planted
deeply if the soil is light. Six
inches is not too deep. If a layer
of manure can be put under them
and covered with an inch of soil,
the results will be surprising. The
tall growing peas give the largest
crops and have the longest sea-
son, but they must be supported
with brush, poultry wire, dis
carded tennis netting or strings.
Birds often do much damage by
eating the blossoms. They may
be kept away by tying strips of
cloth to strings stretched between
sticks, or, better still, by making
artificial snakes from pieces of
old rubber hose and placing them
In strategic positions.

Only when we are very young do we
ever see the golden glory and are
upborne by the circling wings of love
Only when we are young do we thrill
at the sound of a foOtstep. Only
when we are very young is some wom-
an a goddess and some man a hero
to us. And so in way, it Is pity
that boys and girls cannot marry
while all Of this glamour is about
them.
THIS is about all that can be said ir
= favor Of the early marriage. That
1t does not make for happiness Is
abundantly proved by the fact that II
ends oftener in divorce than does the
marriage contracted later in life
Nothing is more baSeless than the
theory that if a boy and girl marry
they will grow up together and have
the same tastes and habits and out
look on life.
Development is determined by Ma
ture, not by propinquity. The kind
of men and women We grow into de-
pendS upon our heredity, our educa
ton, our brains, the way we were
trained in babyhood, and it is Just a
chance when boy and girl start out
with the same mental and moral
equipment, the same background, and
develop along the same lines. Indeed
how seldom this occurs we see in the
misfit husbands and wives all about
us who, after their fare of romance
is over, have not a single thought OF
taste or interest in common.
NOR is there any truth in the other
sentimental theory that young
people can adapt themselves to each
other better than older people. Moth
ing in the world is so UNACCEPTABLE as
youth, because youth is pure selfish
ness and arrogance. 1t takes time. Il
takes age. 1t takes experience. II
takes battling up against the worlc
to teach us the folly of trying tt
break down stone walls instead Of
walking around them. 1t takes g
knowledge of life that comes only
from living to teach us how to gel
along with people-and that goes fol
husbands and wives eSpecially-hoV
to make allowances for their faults
and to make the most of their vir.
tues, and how generally to smooth
their fur the right way and handle
them with tact and diplomacy.
So the young people who have hac
to defer their marriages need not fee
that their waiting has been a tota
loss. They may not have quite 81
many illusions, but they will have {
lot better chance at happiness. In tht
first place, they will be sure Of theil
own feelings, and, after all, that is thu
| most important thing in making mar.
riage success. Really getting thl
hearts desire. They can be sure tina
any affection that has stood the wea,
| and tear of a long engagement is tht
| genuine, blown-in -the-bottle kind
that only death itself can shatter.
THEN they will know they are get
ting what they want in a lift
companion, instead of gambling on 1t
as the young do. The men and womer
they marry will be mature. Thei
habits and tastes formed. They vii
be intelligent or dumb. Dependabl
or f1ighty. Domestic or play girls ant
boys. Extravagant or thrifty. Inter
esting or boring. Marriage will b.
sure thing, not grab-bag propo
sition.
