There may have been a time
when eggs were not used during
summer months because no salts
factory method was in use to de-
termine their freshness. Now
under Federal-State supervision,
eggs are graded.
In some instances they go to
market with a government stamp
showing both the date when the
stamping was done and the date
beyond which the eggs should not
be used. A similar system is used
in marking the quality. The al
phabetical system is used for the
grade. The A and AA are more
costly and are best reserved for
poaching or for childrens diets.
The Grade B and C is for cooking.
This protection has brought eggs
back to summer menus. With such
a system for grading in popular
use, recipes featuring eggs can be
used without question as to
whether or not they will be sue
ceSSful.
The old hazard of hard cooking
eggs has also been removed. In
cidentally two new hints for bet
ter technique in their cookery has
been brought to my attention.
One is to keep the chilled eggs
from cracking when they are
slipped into boiling water. Do this
by puncturing a small hole in the

goes into the water.

Dear Beatrice Fairfax:
81 am a young woman Of "a
years, and am divorced after q
few months of married life. 1
thought my husband was greatly
to be pitied, and that combined
with the tinge of infatuatiOn, I
married him. 1t took me little
over a month to be diSilluSiOned.
HE was married several years
ago, and is the father of a little
girl. His first wife sought a
divorce, and obtained one on the
grounds of extreme cruelty.
my experience with him was
practically the same, although
when we were out in company, one
would think that he was perfection
perSOnified. He never seemed to
have any affection for his own
child, and in the past few years
has refused to see her.

The most fortunate thing which
can happen after making a bad
bargain is to realize it and have
no vain regrets. At "a you have all

During an out town visit, this

weekend visits. He has a busi.

give it up and stay with us till he

I'VE have a big, Old-faShiOned

plenty of room, and he was treated
exactly like one of the family.
"He is very jealous of me and
gets Sulky when 1 talk to old

my SchOOlmateS. He objects to
my smoking and will not let me
dance with anyone else.
MY family have noticed that
he has never tried to get a job

this is my first love affair. l

LEAST OF WORRIES
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"He takes me out once in a great
while, and it seems as though he
loves me greatly. 1 see him often,
but 1 can't figure out his actions.
When we are alone, he tells me he
loves me and kisses me, but when
we are in company he acts as If
were the least of his worries. and
even snubS me.
Il treat him awfulIy nice, and
have told him several times I'm
crazy about him. Do you think that
is the reason of his being so sure
of me and acting so stuck up?
"P. J. B."
I'm afraid I'll have to quote to
you that cynical maxim about the
street car; when you've caught it
you stop running. AS you have told
this young man you're crazy about
him, he feels it's safe to put on a
show of indifference when you're
in company while he is perfectly
willing to accept your admiration
when you're alone.
Better begin with a little cor
rective discipline. Be less nice when
you're alone, and act as if he we're
the least of your worries when
you're in company.

Fine Wool Blankets

AAAO VNSOA
ND you know that a wool
~ blanket could cost as
much as $75? This story is
not about blankets at that
price, but about fine blankets
made by the same people that
make them for $75. Our blan-
kets are in an August sale
downtown, and sell for prices
around 1895, some at $7.90.
They have all the virtues in
the blanket world, are of vir-
gin wool, have double mapping
which makes them extra warm,
if you know your wool story,
and give you the utmost in
warmth without weight. They
are preshrunk; a 72-inch blan-
ket being made 100 inches
originally, then shrunk down
to its size when it reaches you,
so that you can be sure it will
not shrink further with clean
ing or laundering. They have
virtually lifetime durability,
and are sun-fast and tub-fast.
The colors are really gorgeous.
And if you want to, you can
have the $75 blanket, too.
They'll be higher when the
sale is over, and they are ex-

Of you will fail to connect either
name with one of Hollywoods
most glamorous stars. For it was
really the change of name, and
the thinning of a pair of striking
eyebrows to a delicate, high
arched line, that brought sudden
success to her.
She was born in San Antonio,
Texas, on March %, not so many
years ago, and her parents called
her Lucille LIE Sueur CaSsin, a
name that is far better in print.
than on the tongue, for it is hard
to remember and harder to pro
nounce.
When she was quite young, her
parents took her to Kansas City,
where she was educated in private
schools, and she was soon Billie
CaSSin to her Schoolmates.
Billie studied dancing and sing
ing. too, and loved nothing better
than to wait for her father in the
wings of his theater. or to dance
on the great stage whenever she
could.
PUBLIC NAMES HER
Although her parents were
stage people, they chose a more
clustered life for their wide-eyed,
vivid young daughter, objecting
to stage career for her. And their
objections mattered as much as is
usual in like situations. After Is
years in Kansas City, she left
home. and made her stage debut
as dancer, in what turned out to
be a successful Chicago revue,
staged by Ernie Young.
1t was successful enough, in
fact to win her an eastern engage
ment, and she went to New York
to play in Innocent Eyes" and
a Winter Garden show for the
ShubertS. Here, one fortunate
night, she was seen by Harry Rapf,
who signed her under contract
for Hollywood. But it became
more and more evident that her
name was too difficult to pro-
nounce and to remember, and so
the public was asked to give her

Perhaps you remember now

fans were asked to name a rising
star.
Yes, it was Joan Crawford,
whose name has been in brilliant
lights above the theater door,

Joan Crawford, whose charm
has always been in her ability to
give over to her audience, her per-
Sonality, her humor, her vitality
and her beauty, as if a group of
her near friends had happened in
at a private rehearsal, much to
her surprise.
CLAIM TO BEAUTY
There are some who still say
that when Joan's eyebrows were
lifted she was made a beautiful
woman.
But she was richly endowed be-
fore that. When her eyebrows
were thinned and arched, she was
given unique, striking beauty,
for the fashion was new and her
type the perfect one to wear them

She sponsored the eyebrow fad
for everyone for many seasons,
and gave many mediocre maid
