Little niceties of table etiquette
how easy it is to be mistaken
about them, and how such slips

Do you ever catch yourself,
wher cutting a bit of steak or
other meat, whacking off few
spare bites ahead of time. instead
of cutting and eating one bite at
a time?
And it's easy to see how much
more suitable efficiency is In, let
us say, driving a tunnel through
the Rocky Mountain than at the
table!
Another quaint old custom is
that of breaking up nice big
square cracker, with a crashing
July Fourth racket, right into the
plate of soup. If the crumbs sort

that adds to the dramatic effect
Well, most of us don't need to be
reminded that crackers and bread
are not broken into soup. Drop
in a few oyster crackers If you
like, or have soup served with
crisp croutons.

Cause Of Skin
Blen7isheS
By DONNA GRACE

There are so many theories
given us for the cause and IT,
feet of skin blemishes. Some of
my readers tell me just how
they happened to have them. A
few of them feel that these
eruptions are contagious. Others
attribute the condition to impure
blood or indigestion and any
number of reasons.
We believe that unless the skin
specialist or some physician finds
internal medicine necessary, all
common skin eruptionS should be
treated as a surface infection
The basis of the treatment is
thorough cleansing of the pores
This must be kept up in a Sys'
tematic way until all blackheads
are removed and the skin surface
is refined and smooth.
We know, of course, that we
must avoid the foods that are
too rich in fats and sweets and
also see to it that the function OF
elimination is thoroughly active
and normal.
Oily skins are more likely to
become infected than the dry
skin. A daily walk out-of-doors is
one of the best treatments for the
average skin. 1t seems to lllum'
mate and refresh the skin sur
face. ,
We have learned that it is bad
form to kiss babies and children
on the mouth and it would be
much better for them If we BE-
slowed our kisses on the little
hands instead of their faces.
There is a way to keep the SKIN
lovely and free from blemlShes; a
simple home remedy that has been
successfully used by thousands all
over the country.
I have written about it before
and may do it again from time TO
time, as there is always an urgent
need for this special beauty AID.
1t is nice to use to cleanse and re-
fine the skin even when there are
no blemishes or blackheads.

HIS PEOPLE DISAPPROVE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"a year after we were married,
we went to visit his family, who
lived a great distance away. They
threw fits about me, and said he
he had married little nobody"
and tried in every way to break
us up. So we returned to the city
where we lived.
"Now my husband has a chance
of getting a position in the same
town with his folks. 1 don't know
what 1 shall do if they treat rue as
they did before. I'm very Sensi'
tive, and easily hurt. We have
nice children now, and 1 should
like them to see their fathers fam,
lily, yet my friends say I'm foolish
to go. DOUBTFUL.
If you wish to be on friendly
terms with your husbands family
why not do a little brushing up?
What did they object to about you
appearance, education, man
ners, or was it just that old-faSh'
Toned jealousy that families some
times show toward sons wife?
If there isn't anything funda
mentally wrong about your appear
ance, or the other things men
toned, just ignore their lack OF
cordiality, and perhaps by this
time they will be more humane.

Etiquette
Dressing for Dinner
Dear Mrs, Beeckman:

MAY a bereaved family
send engraved cards as an &C
acknowledgement Of sympathy, or
is a personal letter more in
good taste?
cat a house party at a camp
do guests dress" for dinner?
eff no man is present, does a
woman take her own tea from
the hostess?
after a wedding does the
grOom's mother leave first, un-
escorted?
Does a young man travel
ing with a young woman tip
the porter for carrying her bag?"
The best, because the most gra
cious, form of acknowledging ex
pressions of sympathy, either foi
flowers or for letters Of condol
ence, is the written note. The en-
graved cards are acceptable only
when the circle of family friends
and acquaintance is exception
ally large, for instance, politically
or automatically. SO, customarily
we expect a written note Of appre
citation for flowers that we senc
or letters that we write-it neec
be a note of only two or three
sentences, and, of course, it neec
not be written promptly.
No, usually guests do not veal
formal dress at dinner in a camp
But they usually do change" say
from sports clothes to a simple
afternoon dress.
Yes.
After the occasional has

The next usher escorts the mother
of the groom, the groom's father
following. The other ushers escort

Often I have wished for a new
vegetable, inexpensive and deli
cious-one that would add a new
taste to an old salad recipe or
take a welcome place on the vege'
table plate.
Recently there came to my at
tention a vegetable that is an i'm
proved variety of Jerusalem arti
choke. 1t really has very deli
cious taste and merits a rediscoV
cry.
1t has an uninteresting appear
ance-a brown tuber that is about
the shape of an Irish potato. But
it has a much different taste and
is not starchy, so that is a boor
to those who are counting Gallo
ries. The flavor blends celery
coconut and brazil nuts. And il
very good served raw in salads.
For salads, they are peeled anc
chopped much as apples are, but
should be soaked in salt watel
for 80 minutes to develop full
flavor before serving.
The vegetable is called Amer
can artichoke and is sold at many
markets here IL washington at q
very reasonable price.
Here are some recipes that I be
lieve you will enjoy trying. The
first two recipes are for salads
In one the artichoke is servec
raw and in the second it is boilec
and chilled before combining If
the salad.
ArtichOke Salad
cup raw artichokes chopped
fine.
/ cup raw carrots chopped fine
/ cup raw cabbage chopped fine
l cup cottage cheese.

gether, season to taste. Serve OF

ing.
ArtichOke Special Salad

pimento, green peppers, raw ap
pies, and cold boiled artichokes.
Mix we'll. Serve on lettuce leaf.
Garnish with green olives. Serve
with French dressing.
ArtichOkes Baked in Cream
Pare tubers and divide into two
or more parts. according to the
size of the tubers. Soak in cold
water for one hour. Drop i'll
boiling water and cook until
tender. Remove to creased bak-
ing dish. Cover with dried bread
crumbs that have been soaked in
cream and bake until well
Drowned. Serve at once.
French Fried Artichokes
These are delicious on a .vege-
table plate. The artichokes should
be peeled, cut in oblongs, about
| N-inch thick, dipped in flour, and
fried in deep fat.
Curried ArtichOke and Shrimp
Cup shrimp
2 Medium sized artichokes
Wash and prepare shrimp
Scrape and dice artichokes. Make
a rich cream sauce, add curry to
taste. When thickened add
shrimp and artichokes, heat
through and serve on toast.
This is something new and diff
ferent for Sunday night supper.
ArtichOke Hamburger Steak
2 Pounds chopped meat
Onion chopped fine
4 cooked artichokes.
Salt and pepper.
Mix chopped meat. well-diced
artichokes, onion and seasoning.
Shape into cakes and saute. Serve
garnished with parsley. If de-
sired a thickened gravy can be
made from the juice left after the
cakes have been removed from
the pan.
The sweet taste of these arti-
chokes is due to inulin, which is
quite different in composition
from commercial sugars and is
believed to not be digested. Chips
made from these are crisp, sweet
and delicious.
ArtichOke Chips
Wash artichokes carefully and
scrub with a stiff brush, but do
not pare. Slice thin on a suit
able slicer, place for half-hour in
cold sailed water and fry in hot
lard or vegetable oil until they
will be crisp when cool. In order
that all of the surplus grease may
be taken from the chips, place
them, while still hot, in large
drip pan, the bottom of which
has been covered with absorbent
paper: place another warm sheet
over the surface and drain.

HAS FINE IDEALS

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Lately I've been having dates
with a girl with whom l used to
90 to school. This girl has had a
very great misfortune in her life,
and certain neighbOrS do not
think 1 should show her any at.
tention, and they snub her and
laugh at me.
I'm not in the least in love
with this young lady, but l think
it is cruel that a girI-not yet 20
should be left out of every
thing. So, sometimes 1 take hel
to a movie or a dance.
what do you think of this
and don't you think the neigh
bOrs are pretty narrow to make
such a fuss about it?
SOCIAL JUSTICE"
Your sense of social justice
does you great credit, my deal
boy, and I hope you will continue
to take this girl out occasionally
Probably she needs a little diver
sion more than the neighbor'
who criticiSe.
This jazz age may not be all we
could hope for in the way Of
ideals, but, thank goodness, ston
ing an unfortunate woman is out
of date.

Monopoly is played mucn as
you live your life, and although
It is a game of chance, it works
out much as life does if you count
fate as a factor. You throw dice
for your chances in the game,
and you may go to Jail, or win a
fortune. Starting with bank roll,
you may play with it, invest it,
live on it. and come out at the
end according to skill or chance.
For Children Too
Some people think that "Monop-
oily" would be a good game for
children to play, as it gives them
some idea of what the chances
are that they must take in later
life, what the odds are against
the success Of venture. It's grand
fun. and excitement runs high as
you play, however, whether you
are child or adult.
Each player has a figurine to
play with, which may or may not
be a symbol of your luck. They
include, for instance, top hat,
a racing automobile, an old shoe,
a machine gun and battleship.
These little figures chart your
moves, record your gains or losses.
This exciting game may be
played by from two to eight peo-
pie, which is another big advan-
tage, for it's so much fun to group
your whole party at one table, if
there are more than four. The
games include a board, countless
big bills which you will spend for
money, and all the other things
you need to play it.
Four smart players are deep in a
game of Monopoly" in the picture
on our page today. Their clothes
are as important as the game, how.
ever, as they are mostly advance
spring things, so let's look them
over carefully, too.
The girl on the extreme left
wears two-piece orange chenille
knitted frock 1t may be had in
other lovely tropical colors. and is
very reasonably priced. It's grand
for afternoons of Monopoly" or
bridge. The hat is one of the new
Chinese shapes, of brown felt.
In New ColOrs
Next to her, the hostess wears
q hostess gown of navy satin with
American beauty bands down the
front, and an Ascot scarf, tucked
in. Next to her, an aqua crepe dress
reminds us that bright colors lend
gaiety to dull winter days. It has
a collar that may be worn standing
up or rolled down, and three-quar-
ter full sleeves, which may be
pushed up or down. Her gray tri-
corne turban has gray feathers.
On the extreme right of the pic
ture is crepe in a new color called
'sunkist. Fine pleating across the
front, at the wrists and hemline
make it extremely smart. There's
a broad kid belt at the waistline,
and her hat is of brown straw
fabric, with bright orange and
green feathers, and a tiny circular
veil. All clothes are low priced or
medium, and in misses or Junior
sizes.

Health
Protein Needs
OF Body
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDENANO, NJ. u.
We said yesterday that the body
is composed of certain chemical
elements. The science of biochem.
istry has reached the place where
we can determine these elements
very definitely, including the
amounts of each present.
One of the two fundamental
functions of diet is to furnish
these compounds in order that the
body may maintain its tissues.
Except for water, the compound
which weighs the most in the
body is albumen, or protein.
This is the foundation of animal
tissue, and is present in the mus,
cles and in all organs and tissues.
1t is what Huxley called the ply.
steal basis of life-protoplaSm."
There are % pounds o: albumin
in the body. This is broken down
very slowly under ordinary circum.
stances, and only a very small
part needs to be replaced daily.
Two Problems
The two problems of protein in
the diet are, first, how much
should be taken day and, second
what form of protein should be
used. Answering the first one. !
is natural that growing body, in
infancy or childhood, will need
more protein per day than the
body which is stationary.
Just how much the adult body.
which is in heterogeneous equilib-
rum, requires. has been the sub.
ject of a great many experiments.
The object is to determine how
little protein can be used and still
maintain the body at its regular
weight without suffering any
sense of weakness or i'll health.
The most famous of the expert
mentS was that of Chlttenden,
who chose a group of laboratory
workers going about their work,
and then a squad of soldiers at
light gyrnnastic work and light
duty, and, lastly, group Of uni
versity athletes at hard physical
exercise. In these groups the pro-
tein content of the diet was low.
cred very gradually, watching the
weight and heterogeneous equili-
brium. Chittenden found very
little difference in the protein re-
quirement Of the three groups.
In other words. hard work did
not raise the necessity for protein
if the energy needs of the in
creased work were fulfilled. This
latter is accomplished by liberal
use of sugar, Starches and fats in
the diet. Chittenden's figures
showed that for a man of average
weight-150 pounds - about So
grams of protein, or something
like two ounces or one-eighth OF a
pound (avoirdupoiS weight, is suf-
ficient. This, of course, is far be-
low what most people ordinarily
take in their diet. You would get
half of that in an ordinary lamb
chop.
Old Argument
Still Chittenden's experiment
showed that people APPARENTLY
function better on this amount
than with the surplus which our
diet ordinarily contains. A grow
ing child requires twice as much
proportionately to his weight.
The question as to what form
of protein should be used divides
itself into the old argument be-
tween animal and vegetable
proteins. 1t is possible, by care
full selection, to furnish all neces-
sary protein from veget Bile
sources. but it is neither economic
nor wise to attempt to do So 1t
is much better to add such animal
proteins as are contained in milk
or eggs, provided ones sCruples
do not allow one to eat meat.
