ANNIVERSARY GIFT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Will you please send me a few
suggestions as to giving a small
remembrance to a friend on her
fiftieth wedding anniversary? The
friend is a neighbOr. s."
You might wish only to make a
bow of congratulation by sending
box of flowers, and the flowers
might be yellow or golden ones in
tone, to carry out the golden idea
of the anniversary. A box of sew
eral kinds of yellow spring flowers,
for instance, golden daffodils, vel
low, freesia, mimoSa. Or a few
stately yellow Gala lilies would be
especially lovely.
Or if you wish to carry out the
golden idea in something for the
home, you might send a linen-set
in golden shade, or with the
golden shade predominating. Or
some china or glass salad or des-
Sert plates. Or you can find
decorative and useful boxes of
golden shades, and of varying
prices according to your budget.
And it is not necessary for you,
unless you especially wish to, to
carry out the golden-idea. 1t is
just as correct to send any kind
of house gift that you think will
be appropriate for their home.

and one Of the newest and
incest forms Of readiness is white
rubbers, or tips, which you slip
on over your shoes. OF course
you've had them before, in black

really a summer find. They come
in a small envelope, a compact

come in colors as we'll as in

Use DeOdOrant
In Summer
By DONNA GRACE

Summer clothes, such as organ.
dies, cotton, linen and silk, need
special attention to keep them
fresh and dainty when the days
are warm.
We will keep them clean and
well pressed every time they are
worn, and no one can expect to
look we'll in a garment that is
wrinkled or even slightly soiled.
T h underwear, too, should DO
smooth and free from wrinkles, as
ridges or any nlfitting garment
will show under these thin ma
terials.
Keeping summer clothes in or.
der, however, entails a little pre-
caution that may be overlooked, if
we are not careful-and that is
keeping the body free from eX-
cessive perSpiration.
One little spot of perSpiration
will ruin any silk gown and the
colored fabrics in other materials,
too, will frequently become hope
leSSly stained in this way.
We believe that all perspiration
marks can be avoided if one will
just take care to use the simple
preventive measures that are avail
able to everyone.
Some women feel it is quite
enough to apply the deodorant I'm.
der the arms, but it isn't really, as
we have all observed from the
wet and diScolored backs in evi.
dence during the warm days.
When one perspires profuSely
in the arm pits. it is more than
likely that the back, too, perspires.
So, whenever the deodorant is ap.
piled, be sure to include the back
across the shoulders. A tiny, long.
handled brush, dipped in the de.
odorant can be used to reach the
back surfaces thoroughly.
There are powders, liquids and
creams all quite satisfactory, and
also a new deodorant ice that lique-
fieS when it touches the skin, and
may be spread easily and quickly
over the surface. This preparation
is especially nice, as it dries at
once.

just caught, or whether it's tied
around your own head or your own
neck. And so the newest visor has
a fishnet crown. 1t is pulled to the

will give you a particularly fash

visor is of linen, in the seasons

the situation, the visor will pro-

The taste" about autographing
photographs is purely a personal
choice. there isn't any rule about
it, for or against. It's that some

1t really is more or less true. For

to whom it is sent knows who the

is also known to the person to
whom we send it. So much for
that side of the question.

MO more egg shells at the table,
~ no more tragedies of a minor
nature from guests not skilled at
opening their own eggs. And last,
but not least, no more overlooked
or undercooked eggs. For this
handy little cooker allows you to
open and then boil your eggs, and
have them come out just the same
as if they were cooked in the shell.
You can look and see if they are
done to a turn, and put them back
if they're not quite ready. There
are four heat-resisting cups in a
rack, priced 98c, and extra cups
with metal tops are Csc. Another
feature, by the way, is that you
can season the eggs before they
are cooked. No reason why you
can't use them as ramekins, too,
or as custard cups. You use them
in a regular saucepan of boiling

lady'S letter
Dear Miss Fairfax:
From my earliest girlhOOd al
ways knew that Aunt jamie,
mothers older sister, intended to
leave me her money. Grandfather
had that kind of an understand
ing with her before he died; so 1
always lived in what might be
called a state of suspense.
81 never enjoyed my first home
after 1 was married, because l al
ways thought how much better
my home would be after l came
into my money. For this reason,
1 never learned to cook we'll l
intended to keep a cook after 1
got aunt JAMES, money. And SO
1t went all up and down the line.
perhaps 1 would have been a
better wife If 1 hadn't always lived
in the future, and held 1t up to my
husband when we quarreled. We
did quarrel finally, and were d.
vOrced.
SHE REGRETS
"And let me say here that di-
vOrce doesn't settle things the way
folks imagine. I'd give anything
to 20 back to my husband now,
with the wisdom I have learned
from life, but he is married and
seems very happy. But hindSlght
is not given to us, and not much
foresight, either.
"Well, finally came into my
money. 1t was not as much as j
expected, because some Of the Sc.
curitieS had shrunk a good deal
in value.
81 moved into a better neigh
borhOOd and hired the cook I had
thought about so long. But she
was not the cook of my dreams.
She was waSteful, untidy and
saucy. The people in the new
neighbOrhOod, which is a fine
suburb, have not called on me, nor
have they taken up any of my
Overtures of acquaintance.
"My daughter is married, and
my son does not live with me. He
makes his home with several
young men who have an apart
ment in town. Neither Of the
children shows me much atten-
ton.
"If I only had my life to go
over again! I'd"take the things
at hand and get some happiness
out of them, instead Of waiting
for the Paradise that never came
with the money.
VERY LONESOME.
It's all a question of tempera-
ment, I suppose-what we get out
of life. Some of us live in a state
of futurity like my correspondent,
and some of us daydream and
overlook the means of happiness
within our grasp.
Have you ever noticed those
rows of cheerful little houses that
builders erect in the suburbs? New,
clean, with every conceivable mod

appeal to the newly married. Pres

The popular white navy bean Is
prepared with tomato sauce or
with pork; some are known as
oven baked beans, others prepared
Boston style with molasses and
pork, and red kidney beans in
either tomato or pork. They all
have a rich well-done flavor.
The food value of the bean Is
worthy of note. 1t is high in car
bohydrate, the energy producing
food, and protein. Protein, needed
for growth and repair of tissue,
is not of the complete" variety,
however, and must be supple
mented by food such as milk, and
eggs. The mineral content is high.
Calcium, phosphorus, iron, and
copper are found in considerable
amounts. Calcium and phospho-
rus are used in bone building and
iron and copper for red blood cells.
Some vitamin A is found and a
goodly amount of vitamin B.
A shortage of vitamin A in the
diet diminiShes resistance and vi
tally, and vitamin B is essential
to growth and has an important
relation to health and appetite at
all ages. When you purchase them,
you do get quite bargain in food
values.
For a change, the bean can be
combined with a number of diff
ferent foods. These main dishes,
while not too heavy, can be used
to advantage on spring menus.
