Star Sets
Her Own
Hair
BY JULIET SHELBY

Don't 60 around grum-
bling if you cannot afford
to have your hair set in a
beauty salon, for many girls
must deny themselves that
luxury.
However, if you really want
to know something to cheer you
up, just let me tell you that
many Of the glamorous Holly
wood stars prefer to take care Of
their hair themselves. They
shampoo it, brush it, recondi.
tion it, and set it! And viva
ciouS Betty FurneSs is one Of
those stars.
And what's more, Betty'S hair
always looks as if she had Just
spent hours preening before q
mirror. She never neglectS her
grooming, and although she is
one of the most popular girls in
the younger set of Hollywood,
she always finds time to keep
herself looking attractive.
She puts half and half mix
ture of olive oil and castor oil
IN her hair the night before
her shampoo. Then she sets it
with combs and bobby pins.
Inc combs are metal, so If
you want to sit in front of an
electric heater to dry your hair
in a hurry, there is no danger
of the combs catching fire. Tiny
metal clamps hold the combs Sc
curely in place until your hair
is dry, and they enable you to
have your wave as close or as
far from your part as you de-
sire.
I'll grant that you couldn't
sleep with them in your hair,
but you should never go to bed
with your head damp. Set your
hair during the day and, if it Is
possible, sit out in the sun,
If you want to know where
you can procure any article
mentioned in this column,
phone The Washington Times,
District 1000, Extension 283,
between 9 a. m. and p. m.
daily and up to / p. m. on
Saturdays. Please do not write
unless you live outside of the
city, in which case enclose q
stamped, self addressed envelope.

The supply of meat for the
country as a whole is smaller
than it has been for some time,
and all this calls for more skill
in cooking meat, and in devils
ing good combinations with
other foods.
Cook Slowly
In general, cook meat slowly,
as prolonged heating at high
temperature tends to tougher
the fibers. Brown the meat
first to develop it's SAVIOR, but
cook it at moderate tempera-
ture the rest of the time.
When meat has plenty of fat,
cook according to the cut
roast or broil the tender cuts,
without added water. Make
the less tender cuts into pot
roast, stew, or a braised dish
or put through the meat
grinder.
When meat is very lean, it is
well to add fat, for extra rich
ness and flavor, and braising
will usually solve the problem
of which cooking method to
use.
Braising and pot-roasting, in
cidentally, are merely variations
OF the same principle of meat
cookery. They are two of the
very best ways for making lean,
tough meat tender and savory.
For a successful pot roast, or
praised meat dish, first season
the meat with salt and pepper
and sprinkle it generously with
flour, before browning it on all
sides in a small quantity of fat.
Add Liquid
Next add liquid-just enough
to make steam, about y cup
water to a good sized piece of
meat. Don't drown your roast
with liquid.
Cover it with a close-fitting
lid, and cook the meat slowly
until its is tender all through
when pierced with a fork.
SaVery SeasoningS also do
their bit towards glorifying the
pot roast. They are not neces-
sarily expensive, and the follow
ing are particularly good with
meat:
Onions, sage, thyme, bay leaf,
mint leaves, parsley, celery tops,
celery seed, caraway seed, cloves,
pepper, paprlka, curry, grated
horseradish, tabasco sauce, Wor-
cestershire sauce, garlic, and
mustard.

Abolish Germs

The reason why the most elab-
crate care should be used to
keep germs away from a baby
particularly one in fragile health
is that the infant has had no
time to develop immunization
against any disease.
Most mature persons have
acquired a certain amount Of
1mmunization; that is why they
are far less likely than little
children to "catch things"
Adults, however, without them
selves sickening, can be carriers
Of infection to children, and
children can carry germs to
babies. So can cats and dogs.
Woolly toys are likewise unsafe.
One reason why we had to
bar from close contact with our
five frail little girls their slight
1y older brothers and sisters is
because one or more of these
older children almost invariably
suffered from a cold. A common
cold is not a trivial ailment, par
ticularly for a small child.
The Washington times., 1935-01-23
ScrupuLOus
Cleanliness

Since the babies have had
their own new hospital nursery.
people who should know better,
people who come from a world
better educated and more scien.
tific than little Callander, have
been offended because they too
were shooed away from our be-
loved babies.
Nevertheless, the results jus.
tify the methods, for our babies
have suffered from only one
serious infection since their
birth.
Early last fall they developed
a severe type Of intestinal tox-
aemia. One after the other came
down with the complaint, and
they gave me many anxious mo.
mentS.
After investigation, I became
convinced that our aSeptic tech
nique had slipped badly, with
the inadequate sterilization of
certain soiled baby clothes.
Suppose we had made no at
tempt to protect these infinitely
delicate little creatures from
germs. Perhaps not one Of the
Quintuplets would be alive to-
day.

.AUOid Colds

A common cold may turn into
bronchitis or pneumonia, and
we felt that the quintuplets
should be spared colds as long
as possible.
So far not one Of them has
suffered from this complaint,
and we think our rule against
visitors and our other safe
guards against infection have
justified themselves.
Since I have yet to hear my
little girls indulge in a cough, a
sneeze or a Snuffle inspired by
coryza, I don't mind a little
criticism for ultra-caution. Next
spring I plan to have all five
vaccinated and given toXoid in
fectionS against diphtheria.
Modern medical science alb
horS the horrible old plan Of ex-
posing children deliberately to
certain diseases, in order that
they might have them and get
them over"
All babies, not merely the
quintupletS, should be given the
best possible protection against
infectious disease.

Second Marriage

Second Marriage
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
What should a widow Of As
years Of age wear when getting
married a second time? Would
white be proper?
Should they go to the parson-
age or be married at the
widows home?
Would it look silly for them
to go on a trip?
Constant Reader.
The bride for the second
time should not wear white.
Us lily, at a second marriage,
the bride wears an afternoon
dress of a shade particularly
becoming to her. Or very often
she wears her travelling cos
tune.
Either is correct. The point
Is to keep the marriage plans
simple.

We also wore masks, which
in photographs tended to give
us a vague resemblance to
members Of the Ku Klux Klan.
OF course, we took the great
est pains that all food con-
tainers, clothing and other
articles in actual use by the
children were sterilized.
Even in the old Dionn e
house, before we moved into
our new private hospital, the
room used for the babies was
rs clean as we could make it
and every possible measure Of
aseptic technique was intro
duced.
In those days the babies were
very much Of a local wonder,
and we had a constant fight to
ward off not only all the
family connections, down to
the most distant cousins, but
all or nearly all the inhabitants
Of the district.
They simply could not be
made to understand why they
might not hold the wonderful
Quintuplets, mine them
minutely, even kiss them!

You accepted and wore it. That
