Marketing for the Sunday din
ner does not have the glamor that
it had some years ago when with
market basket in hand careful Sc.
lections were made Saturday not
only for Sunday, but to last
through the week.
However. a clever hostess plans
her market order with the menu
for the morrow clearly in mind.
Her Sunday dinner takes little
time for preparation but it is also
so skillfully planned that the ar
rival of sudden guests would cause
her not the slightest embarrasS-
ment.
The suggestion for tomorrow is
standing roast. Instead of hav-
ing the bone removed and the
meat prepared for a rolled roast,
have the meat trimmed evenly
but the bone left in.
Standing Roast
Select a two or three rib stand
ing roast. One smaller than this
is not satisfactory. Wipe with a
damp cloth, sprinkle with salt,
dust with flour. and place in an
open roaster without water with
the fat side up. This makes baSt-
ing unnecessary for the fat as it
melts and cooks out will baSte the
meat.
Through the fat insert a meat
thermometer so that the bulb
reaches the center of the roast.
Place the meat in a hot oven
5000 degrees). Scar for 20 to 80
minutes; then reduce the tempera-
ture to $50 degrees and continue
cooking until the roast reaches de.
sirable degree of "doneness."

DOES HIM CREDIT
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"A former Schoolmate of mine
has had a great misfortune in her
life, and there is a good deal OF
"Sewing-circle" condemnation OF
this girl, who is more Sinned
against than SHINING.
IT am not in the least in love
with her, but object to the stone.
throwing, and sometimes take her
to a movie, for ride, or to a pun'
lie dance.
ION account of this I have come
in for a good deal of criticism
and my mother seems worried
when neighbors ask if I intend to
marry this girl. I do not intend
to marry her, nor would she
marry me. But I think it is too
bad that a girl Of 10 should be
pilloried because she made a mis-
take in her early youth.
JULIUS"
Your impulse to be friendly with
this girl does you great credit
my dear Julius, and I hope you'll
keep on with these occasional at
tentions, which must mean SO
much to a girl in her position.
When I get a letter like yours,
I wonder if we are not still living
in the Middle Ages, with our too
great willingness to cast stones at
the unfortunate.

by making almost superhu-
man efforts, I succeeded in get

cation to hold down a job. The
chief was pretty short with me the
other day, not on account of
anything had done, but because
he seemed to be suffering from
a weu-defined hangover.
ION the spur of the moment,
I threw up my position, and
have been regretting this rash
act ever since.-TOM NICK"

over, he may be as willing to
forgive and forget, as you are.
Exert whatever influence you may
have, social or political, to have
yourself reinstated.
If this isn't possible, you will
have to try and get another
job, which is not always easy, as
you know.
In the meantime, leave no
stone unturned to conquer your
sensitiveness and morbidity, which
is always a handicap to success.

Don't have too pronounced an
effect of streaking; work over
and over the surface until it looks
soft and subdued. There!-an
old piece that looks as new as
today!

RenOVatinSF Furniture

Amazing, isn't it, what wonders
a little paint will work? Why,
you can even do over old pieces
to seem like the lovely, expensive
looking, bone.white furniture.
Isn't that fascinating idea?
Look at the bedroom in our
illustration. You'd never guess
that the bone-white furniture that
looks so smart gainst the powder
blue walls is collection Of old
pieces freshened with paint.
Difficult? No, it's as simple as
this. After taking the "curlicues"
and SCARED finish off old pieces,
smooth surface with Sandpaper
and apply two coats of flat white
paint or enamel undercoater.
Then put on final coat of pure
white enamel. When this is dry,
rub lightly with No. 90 sandpaper
and brush off the dust.
Final Touches
Now you're ready to do the
antiquing that gives bone-whlte
furniture its creamy tone. Use
paste pigment in burnt umber
shade. Thin to consistency of
cream with mixture of tWo-thidrs
boiled linseed oil and one-third
turpentine. Apply quickly with a
brush. Then Immediately, with. a
wad of cheesecloth, wipe across
the surface, using long, light
strokes and taking off most of the
color. Wipe with the grain: this
produces slightly streaked effect.
IF YOU make a mistake, wipe off
the coloring with turpentine and a
clean cloth, and start again.

The main reason why we're
wearing things in our hair this
year, is that the season is more
formal. We're dressing up more
and along with the spirit OF for
rnality and fun, hair comes in for
consideration. Curls are not
enough. We must add little more
and the answer is, ornaments, IN
wide and ample variety.
Color is another reason tor
dressing UP our heads. Hair. and
hair alone has been the rule Tor SC
many years that we're almost for
gotten how to add color. The first
break from the usual was plalts
across the head. Then came tiaraS
and ieweled ornaments, and now
we have color.
Caps Of r--esh
AS you've probably found out al
ready, there is a profusion OF or
narnents in the local stores al
ready. and there is everything you
can think of. Let's start with
Juliet caps, those cunning little
mesh or net affairs, in colors or
studded with coloreG stones or
pearls. They we're introduced no
earlier than the August openings
in Paris, and already they are a
vogue in America. You can't go to
a dance without seeing them. But
they are only for the young and
pretty. Matrons beware! After ALL
Juliet was but a girl.
Renaissance Origin
Somewhat in the class with the
Juliet cap is the snood, which Is
Renaissance in Origin, and is also
of net, but worn lower on the hair,
catching up the back locks. 1t
hasn't met with as much success
as the Shapesperean caps, but If
you want to be different. the
Snood is yours.
For more sophisticated costumes
and people there are COG feathers.
circling the face or flaring off at
angles, there are ostrich tips, and
bands made of ostrich, there are
flowers that nestle in your curls,
and there are of course a whole
collection of jewelled pins, combs
and clips.
RaRS and Bands
Velvet makes bands, plated or
in novelty arrangements, a n d
flowers and many other things
for the hair. It's really easy to
find something to go with each
dress, if you'd like. And there
are metal things. too varied and
too individual to describe, for your
metal gowns, or for accent against
the background Of other gowns.
Sometimes you can find bags to
match velvet hair ornaments, and
the effect is extremely chic. For
instance, red roses for the hair,
Of velvet, and an envelope of the
same velvet, will set off any COS
tune that red will go with. to good
advantage. We have a picture Of
such a set, which we will run next
week,

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
will you please tell me II 1t
is correct to have a small flower
girl assist at an informal morn
ing church wedding, that is,
when the bride is not wearing a
wreath and veil and is having
only one bridesmaid?
ALSO would it be correct for
the sister Of the groom to hold
a shower in honor of the bride?
I think a bridge and tea would be
the right thing, but I have been
criticized by relatives for not ar
ranging a shower.
WONDERING"
1t is quite proper to have a
flower girl at an informed morn
ing church wedding. She walks
just in front of the bride and
her father.
I think that your taste is bet
ter about this-that, as the sister
of the groom, it would be in bet
ter form for you to give a tea
and bridge rather than a shower.

cized, as you evidently know.

Some of the trinkets that are

next; a cat for the old maid, dice

ANNOUNCING ENGAGEMENT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"At a quiet dinner my fiance
and I are going to announce our
engagement, but our marriage
will not take place for three years.
Would it be correct to send out
engagement announcements, and
if so, what should be the wording?
M"
It is not correct, under any cir
cumstances, to send out engraved
or printed announcements of an
engagement. The correct way for
you to make this announcement is
for you and your fiance to tell
your close relatives and friends
Chose who are not to be invited
to the announcement-party), a
day after the dinner has been
given, and then write to those
relatives and friends who live too
far away to be told by word of
mouth. ,
Also, if you wish, have your
mother and father send a for
mally-worded announcement to
the newspapers. so that the an
nouncement will be published the
day after the dinner.
If possible, time all these forms
of announcement so that the news
will be revealed to those most con-
cerned, either the evening of the
dinner or the morning after the
dinner.
