be eaten with relish by young and
old. Now. however, the value OF
the greens has been so universally
recognized that dandelions are cul-
tivated for the market on a large
scale and shipped to distant points
by truck and car load!
What we buy in Washington mar
kets now usually come from nearby
but, If you live in a Northern city
the chances are that your greens
have had a long journey before
reaching you. New Englanders, al
though they have been cultivatine
dandelions for a long time, do not
grow all that they use; the Boston
market, as well as those of New
York and Philadelphia, buys New
Jersey and more Southern dande-
lions at the first of the season every
year. Chicago even ships them in
from Texas! The dandelion has at
tained national recognition as an
interstate article of commerce.
THE American people, In recent
years. have started eating
greens of all kinds and salad vege-
tables at a rate that was never
dreamed of when we were children
Quick transportation and handling
facilities have, of course, helped in
this, as perishable goods may now
be shipped long distances with min
imum spoilage risk.
Another factor is the foreign
born Americans in the large cities
who hunger for and demand the
green leafy foods to which they
have been accustomed.
The largest reason of all for this
habit of eating greens is because
more Americans have acquired the
taste for these foods. with q fuller
appreciation of their food value
The people are becoming more and
more educated and intelligent on
the subject of healthful diet and
are eager to follow the suggestions
of the scientists in this field.

1t is difficult to know where to

effort has been made by the manu-
facturers to produce dark blue
gloves that will look well with all
the suits, coats and dresses in which
blue predominates. You will find
them with Interestingly designed
cuffs. usually stitched in white, with
cording, with buttons and pipings.
Sketched on the hand with the gar
denia is such a glove in navy and

extremely well with gray, in COM

Heavy cording is used in rows to
trim many new kid gloves and is
very effective. 1t is used in rows

)AN you imagine movie star
1 with a skin marred by black
Y 4 heads? The very idea is
sacrilege to the genuine
cinema fan! A complexion that
looks clear, fine textured and
healthy wins admiration from all
sides. Girls whose skin does not
measure up to this standard are
usually willing to do anything to
remedy their defects. Often. how
ever, their efforts have just the op-
poSite results, or are at least only
partially successful. Why?
Some girls think that the way
to improve poor complexion is to
conceal it beneath a blanket OF
powder and rouge, which they re-
new from time to time all day.
The inevitable result of this practice
is to coarsen the pores and multiply
the blackheads. This is not the
fault of the makeup, however.
Actresses use makeup regularly,
but it doesn't ruin their complex
ions, because they know how to keep
their skins in the best condition.
Using makeup on skin marred
by enlarged pores and blackheads
is like adding insult to injury. A
temporary effect of smoothneSs may
be achieved, but the condition that
is being hidden grows worse. The
less powder and rouge put on such
skins the sooner they can be re-
stored to beauty. The teen-age
girl, who is most bothered with
these blemishes, should certainly
not use makeup regularly. A lit
tie for special occasions and eve
ming parties is all she really needs.
Blackheads usually confine them
selves to certain areas Of the skin,
such as the nose, chin or cheeks.
These parts are frequently more
oily than the other parts and re-
quire different treatment. It is not
necessary to give the whole face the
same treatment. The oily, blem-
ished sections should be washed
with soap and water twice a day
and q complexion brush (not rub
ber) used gently in a circular direc-
ton. These blackheads muS8 then
be pressed out gently, not with the
fingers, but with small instrument
called q blackhead or comedo re-
mover. Remember that any bruis-

DEAR MRS. POST: May I in
vite acquaintances to a second
party, if six weeks have passed, and
they have made no pretense of re-
turning our hospitality"
Answer-Certainly you may, If
you have every reason to believe
that their attitude toward you is
friendly, especially if they are
strangers in town.
Dear Mrs. Post: I've lived in this
neighborhood for six months, and
only yesterday two of my neighbors
called to see me. Should I wait
longer than is usually considered
polite to return these visits?"
Answer-Return their visits with
in week or 10 days, if possible, and
otherwise as soon as you can. Most
people are slow about doing all the
things they would like to do, and
there Is no reason to suppose that
they were Intentionally impolite,
and not to return their visit
promptly would probably suggest
either that your feelings had been
hurt or that you did not know bet
ter.
Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
proper reply to a formal invitation
to dinner when it is impossible for
my husband to 60, but convenient
for me?"
Answer-If you want to let your
hostess know that you would be
free to accept, should she find an
odd man to make the number even.
write:
q Mr.. and Mrs. John Brown re-
gret that Mr.. Browns absence from
town prevents their accepting, ETC."
Otherwise, regret that you are un-
able to accept without further ex-
PLANTATION.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have five sis
ters who are all equally dear to me
and we have no parents. This is
to explain why it is difficult for
me to know how to announce my
engagement in the newspapers
without ignoring any of them
Could the notice read: The sisters
of Miss Ruth Blank announce her
engagement to -. If not, what
do you suggest?"
AnSwer-It would certainly be
unconventional. On the other
hand, I don't know why you should
not word the announcement this
way, If you want to. Properly, OF
course, your eldest sister would
announce the engagement of each
of you In turn.

MOTHER looked around the table
A'A with smiling eyes. Father and
the children waited expectantly.
Something good was coming. They
felt it in their bones. Mother never
looked just that way unless she was
going to spring glad surprise.
"I had a letter from Ellen this
morning"
"Is she coming to stay over the
week end, mother? Is she? Can I
sit by her. mother' I asked first.
| When"
Now Just be easy minute. If
you all Jump like that she will give
you one look and take the next
train. She's coming tomorrow and
she is going to stay all this month"
That's something like" said
father, warmly.
What do you know about that?
I'll get my dolls blanket embroid-
cred on this trip"
And I'll have stories read to
me - coming tomorrow, mother?
What time?"
Aunt Ellen usually visited once a
year. Her visit was like a golden
span in the year She slipped into
the house as easily as your foot
into an old shoe. She had the best
time every day, although she was
kept busy every minute. She drove
the children to school and did the
marketing, or she did the house
work while mother did the outside
chores. She sewed up the rips and
mended the tears as though it were
a privilege. She laughed at every
funny story and had one of her own
ready for every occasion. She re-
joiced with those who rejoiced and
wept with those who wept, and
never got in the way.
There are visitors not as welcome
as Ellen. They are numerous these
days. They come to the house laden
with woe. The good days they've
seen. the money they've lost, the
trials they endure, the hardships
that are put upon them. All the
pack of troubles they carry on their
backs are unloaded upon their un-
fortunate hosts.
They see countless ways in which
the children could be improved.
Tommy is lazy. Young Mary Ellen
ought to be taught to help more.
Both children need to be taught
their places. Modern manners are
impossible. Respect for elders is
dead. Too bad they have to put up
with such things in their latter
days. 1t was not so when John
was alive, or when Grandfather
Bennett was around. Evil has be-
fallen them.
Maybe evil has befallen them, but
then evil befalls lots of us. Why
keep it alive? Why not let it go
and accept the good that comes
along with it? The hospitality of
the family who made such patient
sufferers welcome. Visiting around
is happy experience or terrible
one, just as you make it.

Dorothy Dix Says
No Man Has Rights in House That Wife
Recognizes.
Recognizes.

4 HUSBAND wants to know
~ what rights, if any, a man
~ has in the home he supports.
4 n Not many beyond paying the
bills, I'm afraid. for the average
wife considers that she has a mo-
nopoly on the home and all the
perquisites thereof, and her husband
interferes with these at his peril.
Women will deny this, yet it Is
true. nevertheless, that while they
want their husbands to love their
homes and take an interest in them,
and stay put in them evenings,
they are not willing to concede to
them any authority whatever, or
the indulgence of any personal
taste, or even to give them the run
of their teeth in the icebox. The
feminine ideal of perfectly i'm
possible husband, who Is divorce
court fodder, is one who snoops in
the garbage can and criticizes the
cooking.
OF COURSE, they do these things
" differently abroad. There a
man is the head of his house in
fact as well as fancy, but in this
country the husband pays the ex-
penses of running a house, and
that's about all from him, unless
you consider a few feeble Squeaks
of protest to which no high-spirited
wife even lends an ear.
As a general thing, he even has
no say-so about where he lives.
Wife picks out the domicile and all
he has to do is to sign on the dotted
line where the real estate agent has
made a cross. If wife prefers sub
urbs, out they go to Stucco Heights.

loathes committing.
IF WIFE'S fancy is taken by the

building, she yanks him, with his
leave or without it, out of his COM
Portable, roomy old home into a
two-by-four cubicle where he
bumps into himself every time he
turns around. If wife decides they
must move into q fashionable neigh
borhood, where the children will
play with the right sort, the NOV
ing van backs up to the door, in
spite of husbands assertions that
they can't afford a smart address.
The wife not only selects the
home, but she allots the space in it
to the various members Of the fam
ily, and when she does this, hus-
band is the Forgotten Man. Not
one man in ten thousand, probably
not one man in q hundred thou

Dinner Has
Good Start
For Easter

FASTER SUNDAY dinner was
planned for the Aston house
hold. Lois and her children and
her husband, as well as Lois brother
and his wife, were planning on
meeting at the old home after
church on Easter Sunday.
Mrs. Aston wanted to go to
church, too. SO she was planning
a meal that could be prepared ahead
of time and then served in just a
short time after the guests arrived
She was starting with clear
chicken soup with noodles. For
this she planned to use CONNER
cially prepared soup. This needed
nothing but reheating. The main
course was to consist of baked ham,
escalloped potatoes, spinach, fresh
rolls, picked peaches, cottage
cheese with chives, angel food cake
with fresh Strawberries. For the
childrep's dessert she had plain
junket. She hoped that each
mother would let her children have
rev StraWperr1eS on top OF the
junket. The eScalloped potatoes
cooked during church time.
On Friday before Easter she
washed whole ham and put it to
soak in cold. water. Next day she
brought the ham to q simmering
point and allowed it to cook slowly
without boiling for three hours
Then she skinned the ham and
trimmed of little of the fat.
A mixture of three parts brown
sugar, one part cracker crumbs was
pressed all over the surface. Whole
cloves were put in to present a dia-
mond pattern. The ham was baked
in a slow oven for one hour. BY
this time the sugar melted and
formed a brown sugary crust. The
ham may be served hot or cold
With some hams soaking and sim
mering is unnecessary. These hams
are scrubbed, baked slowly, and
one hour before serving are skinned
and coated with sugar and crumbs
