Few Beauty
Hints for

Annual Shuttle Apt to

BY ELSIE PIERCE.
OCTOBER 1st the Nation does some

intensive moving work. Families
move from shore or country resort
back to their city homes. Or those
living in apartments move from one
locality to the other.
To the average housewife it's all
in the days work. And there's the
rub. Because the average housewife
works too hard. Even If. she isn't
moving, the season usually calls for
closets to be done" for painting. re-
decorating. storing the Summer things.

and so on.
And all this increased activity plays
havoc with ones appearance. In the

Even the woman who can take it,
and tries to smile through it seldom

her spirit and her expression.
The direct effect of moving day
on beauty hits the hair and hands
hardest. Coming almost Immediately

Don't let an undue amount of dust
get into your hair. Wear a cap when
you work. And should you feel that
dust has worked its way into your
hair, brush vigorously and then sham
poo before the dust particles have
chance to mix with the oil and clog
the scalp.
Should the hair become quite harsh
and the scalp itchy, brush. treat your.
self to an oil treatment followed by
shampoo.

Removal
Of Dishes
At Dinner
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Some one told
me that it is more correct to
have the waitress remove the used
plates in front of guests just as soon
as each guest has finished eating. l
have always instructed my servants to
wait until every one at the table has
finished and have never seen any
other way practiced. Personally l
should think removing dishes in re-
lays would make slow eaters horribly
nervous about holding back service.
Answer: 1t was the custom in
ltra-fashionable houses many years
ago-particularly in New York-to
remove each plate the instant a fork
was laid down upon it. But for the
reasons you give. so many eaters were
made uncomfortable that the conven-
ton has changed entirely and in the
present day no hostess has the plates
removed until the last fork at the
table has been put down.

with the turnips around ii and the
sauce poured over all. This is an ex-
cellent way to cook duck that has
definitely reached middle age.
THIS old-fashioned recipe for using
leftover duck comes from a cook
book that has been In my family since
1870. The dish is often served in our
household, and has proved popular
with every one.
DUCK AND PEAS, STEWED.
Take the remains of a cold roast
duck and disjoint it. Pick meat from
carcass in as large pieces as possible
Place in pan with the legs and
wings, season with salt, pepper,
cayenne and lemon juice. Pour three
quarters of pint of soup stock or
bouillon over the meat, and let all
come just to the boiling point. Cook
fresh peas. as usual. or use canned
ones; drain them and add salt, pep
per and butter to taste. Reheat and
serve with the duck on hot platter,
with sauce from the pan. Diced car
rots may be added to the peas if de-
sired
A delicious way Of dealing with an
elderly duck is the following:
DUCK EN- CASSEROLE.
Divide the duck into joints, and
cook in a large casserole in hot oil
until evenly Drowned. Add one onion,
chopped, and when these are brown,
thicken slightly with a little flour
Add three or four tomatoes, sliced, one
cup of stock or bouillon, one can of
mushrooms. and few peeled, cubed
potatoes. Season we'll with papr;E.
salt and celery salt Cook for about
one hour, or until the duck is tender,
and serve from the casserole.
Another method of using leftover
duck Is to pick the meat from the car
caSs, and mince it fine. Mix it with
cooked wild rice, season well with salt,
paprika and onion juice. Stuff to-
matoes or green peppers with the
mixture, and bake.
Or the meat may be left in small
pieces, mixed with sauteed mush-
rooms and sliced ripe olives. heated
altogether in a pan with butter and
served on hot toast or in patty shells.
Leftover duck, if the slices are large
enough, makes delicious sandwiches
and cold duck with hot apple sauce or
apple rings makes a very tasty dish
for Sunday night supper!

Dorothy Dix Says
The Woman of Thirty-fve Is a Mighty
Good Matrimonial Bet.

Others were so busy getting a college
education, or fitting themselves into
job, or pursuing a career that they
had not time for romance and they
let 81, which is almost the deadline
in marriage for a woman, creep upon
them unaWares.
The advantages that man has in
marrying a woman of 35 are that he
knows what he is getting in a wife, as
he cannot possibly know when ne
marries young girl. He can judge her
as she is and her likelihood of suiting
him without gambling on possible
future developments. She is intelligent
or dumb, sweet or sour, interesting or
a bore. She is domestic or otherwise
A man pays his money and takes his
choice. He doesn't buy pig in poke
a LSO, by the time woman is 35 she
has acquired tact and diplomacy
in dealing with people. She has learned
to adapt herself to others She is fairer.
juster, more liberal in her views and
less exacting of her husband, if she
marries, than young girl. And. above
all else, if a woman marries at 35 it
is because she is crazy to marry and
have a husband and home and chill
dren. and she is so eternally grateful
to the man who saves her from lonely
old age that she spoils him to death.
The disadvantages Of marrying a
woman of 35 are that in many cases
she is so welded to the family she
has devoted her life to that she never
divorces herself from them. Her hus-
band always runs a bad second TO
mama and papa, sisters and brothers,
hordeS of nieces and nephewS.
Having worked side by side with men
for 20 years. she knows them through
and through and is a poor incense
burner. Having had her own pocket
book and been free to go and come as
she pleased, she won't stand for being
bossed, or having to account for every
penny of the household money. And
she, like the male bachelor, also has
acquired ways" But, taking her all
in all, the woman of IS is a mighty
good matrimonial bet. Especially for
widower DOROTHY DIX.

Sizable family, one duck will probably
disappear at one meal-if you are
cooking for two" only, then you will
have leftover duck, which, very often,
is even better than the original in
stallment-for there are many and
delicious ways of using it.
Serve with your roast duck, either
as garnish or separate dish. baked
apples. applesauce, cranberry jelly,
currant jelly. hot cumquats, baked
oranges. broiled pineapple slices or
fried bananas. Any one of these will
enhance the flavor of the meat and
cut the slightly fatty taste and con-
sStency that some people find objec-
tionable.
DLAIN roast duck may be stuffed
with any preferred dressing, such
as sage or apple. or the cavity may
be loosely filled with coarsely cut Gel
cry, peeled onions, peeled and cored
small apples and peeled and thinly
sliced potatoes, slightly moistened
with milk and well seasoned. Roast
the duck much as you would chick
en-, after washing it well inside and
out. drying and trussing it. Season it
with salt and pepper, place it on a
rack in the roasting pan, and bake
in very hot oven for half an hour.
Then reduce the heat to a moderate
temperature, and cook until done
from one and a half to two hours in
all. Baste frequently with the juices
in the pan, and turn the duck often
so that it browns evenly.
In France duck is often prepared
in the following manner. and becomes
a great favorite as a family dish:
DUCK WITH TURNIPS.
Melt three tablespoons lard or other
fat in a large saucepan. When it is
hot add the duck. which has been
| washed and dried, but not disiointed
Cook slowly to a golden color. Remove
the duck from the pan; stir in two
tablespoons -four until smooth and
Drowned. Add one pint of soup stock
or canned bouillon that has been
heated. Mix all we'll together, strain

fresh saucepan and add the duck

Peel turnips and cut them in thick
slices. Cook them in a little butter
sprinkling them with sugar. When
they begin to brown add them to the
duck. cover and simmer for 40 minutes
longer. Serve the duck on hot dish

1HERE is an immense amount of
hustle and activity in all the
shops. Everybody getting back

ing so many things-new clothes to
replace a discarded Summer wardrobe.
new things to freshen up the home,
and quite as important as anything
else new aids to beauty that will make
you look your best in the new Fall
scheme Of things.
We have such a. list of brand-new
items, with more coming every day,
that we hardly know where to start
telling you about them. However, we
believe that new formula for main
tanning a firm throat line will be of in
terest at this season. This is said to
be an entirely new idea in a prepara-
ton for the purpose of preserving a
youthful looking throat and prevent
ing or correcting any tendency to that
crepey condition that we hear so much
about, but do not wish to possess.
This cream combines emolient prop
critics and special stimulating in
gredient which increases circulation
near the skin surface The lubrica-
tion claims to overcome dryness and
the forming of deep, furrowed neck
laces" The increased circulation i'm
proves tone and color and helps the
skin to absorb the oil.
The throat will respond more easily
than you would imagine to a little
extra attention, and If you will take
the trouble to persist in a few neck
exercises night and morning in addi-
tion to the use of nourishing creams
you will have still better results. Some
of our most noted beauties include
daily neck bending in their routines
for preserving that lovely throat line.

~ of 35 are not. generally
speaking. good husband ma
terial. He says that if a man gets to
be 35 years old without being married,
it is likely to be because he is lacking
in the love instinct, or is selfish, or
afraid of women, or shirks response
bility, or all of EN-, and, anyway, he
is set in his ways and impossible to
change.
A correspondent wants to know II
these matrimonial disabilities are also
to be found in the woman Of 35, and
how she rates as a wife prospect.
Well. you cannot answer this ques-
ton right off because the man hache-
lor nearly always achieves bachelor
hood through sheer force of determi-
nation and foxineSs, whereas the girl
bachelor generally has bachelorhood
thrust upon her. Hence it is no sign
that a woman is lacking in affection,
or domesticity, or does not yearn for
a husband and children because she
is keeping house with another woman
and toting her own latchkey at 35.
X
THERE are many reasons why a
woman may still be single at 35
without any prejudice to her quail
fications for making q good wife. One
is that she may never have had a
chance to marry. That is no reflec-
ton upon her charms and virtues.
Men are notoriously poor pickers.
Many of the women that nature de-
signed to make the best wives never
get the opportunity to be wives at all.
Or it may be that woman has never
married because she has never found
the man who came up to her ideal
and she would rather have no hus-
band at all than a second-rater.
Many women of 35 are single be-
cause they sacrificed their youth to
their families and gave the years when
they were most attractive to men TO
supporting their parents and educat-
ing younger brothers and sisters.

The Old Gardener SAYS {:

Old, experienced gardeners
often favor narrow trowel for
bulb planting. More care is nee
essary in naturalizing bulbs, and
for this operation a special tool
has been made which will cut
round hole through the sod and
remove the soil in one operation.
Then the bulb is dropped into
place and the plug of soil re-
placed. And yet, where the turf
is heavy, it may be necessary to
dig an adequate hole with a
spade, loosening the soil at the
bottom snd covering the bulbs
with chopped turf, thus giving
them a better opportunity to send
their roots into the ground

joined Fire Marshal Calvin C. Lauher
today in warning Washingtonians
against overheating furnaces during
the unaccustomed cold here. The fire
started from an overheated hot-air
pipe and flames worked up the stair

Many Houses Are Similar.
The fire markhal estimated that "at
least 80 per cent" Of the buildings OF
this type, many of which are crowded
with ,roomers because of the housing
shortage, have the same kind of
wooden staircase and furnace. While
few of them violate the fire regula-
tions, he said, all represent potential
hazards unless care is taken to guard
against poorly insulated heat con-
duits and the collection of storage ma
terial.
An overheated pipe, police reported,
started the fire some time after the
janitor, Russell Green. colored. stocked
the furnace and opened the draft
about 6 am. to heat the building
against the rising hour. Green then
left, LAUDER said, and did not return
to the premises until after the arrival
of flremen.
The alarm was sounded at 7:49 am
by several neighbors, who telephoned
almost simultaneously to say they
heard screams and saw smoke issuing
from the building. Perhaps minute

at about the same time, turned in an
alarm from a box at Twentieth and N
