THOSE of you who have travelled in
Switzerland will recall how pro-
fusely blackerberries grow there o.
the mountain and hillsides. Also how
delicious they are and how surpris-
ingly different they taste from our
own. We have just discovered black
berry preserve that is made in Swift
zerland and is imported regularly to
one of our local merchants who him
self is fond Of this unusually tasty
preserve. 1t seems that he used to
send for 1t, ordering only enough for
his own use, but just recently he has
put it on his shelves for the benefit of
other enthusiasts. It's a delight for
those who like to recapture some Of
those gastronomic thrills enjoyed while
travelling in the Alps, for those who
have never been SO fortunate as to
have tasted this luscious sweet!

Community Need Not
Influence Individual
Standards.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


THE ideal neighborhood is a dream
that rarely comes true. I have
never heard of the family which was
completely satisfied with the COM
munity or the immediate neighborhood
in which 1t lived. Something was
always lacking Either the next door
folks were undesirable, or the whole
block was bad. Schools are never just
what they ought to be and the
churches are too far away. Things
are altogether too dead or they are
too noisy. In short, the neighborhood
is the sum of the character of the
neighbors and that means it Is very
human.
Starting from there, with the under
standing that ones family must live
among families and contribute its
share of annoyance along with its
contribution to the general good, one
must look for q group that seems
hospitable to ones taste and stand
ards of living. That is only sensible.
To move into a neighborhood whose
tastes are too expensive, or whose
standards are those of a socially
prominent group is to court trouble
from the BEGINNING. And to be forced
into living in neighborhood where
habits and manners show low stand
ards is a grave misfortune. We are
happiest among our own sort. But
what is to be done when, as often
happens these days, family has to
live under the poorer conditions?
Children must have associates, they
must play with the children who are
found close by. If those children are
not good associates some way must
be found either to make them better
or to exclude them. 1t does not do
to tell the children that they are
never to play with these others be-
cause they are unfit. That never
works. They must play with some
body, and prohibition usually sends
them the wrong way. Say as little
as possible, but keep on the watch
for the best of the group and make
them welcome.
Make the acquaintance Of the
teachers and ask their advice as to
the right sort Of playmates and asso-
ciates for your children. Join with
those who are trying to improve the
neighborhood. Join the mothers club,
or the ladies' aid, so you can be
part of the best thought OF the COM
munity. Go to church and take the
children along with you. They are
certain to find good people there and
good influences. Staying closely within
the walls of your home and trying
to keep the children there, too, will
make a bad matter worse. The only
thing to do is to get out and find the
best there is to be found. 1t is there
you can be sure.
know about bad neighborhcods.
I have lived in them. have seen
fine men and women struggle to rear
children, and have seen them sue
ceed under conditions that would stag
ger the most optimistic social worker.
I know splendid men and women who
were born in poor neighborhoods, who
lived in them while they went through
school and college, often working their
own way and helping their parents
with the younger ones at the same
time. They mastered the conditions,
instead OF yielding to them.
The neighborhood is only one factor
in the lives Of children. Powerful
though it be. goodness is more power
full. Lean on that hard.

Lip Rouge
Aids Beauty
Protective Balm as
Well as Color
Medium.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

WE THINK of chapped lips and
cold sores as Winter ailments.
They are. But there are just as many
complaints on these two difficulties in
the Spring as in the Winter. It's the
winds that do the damage. And high
winds are quite prevalent in the early
Spring.
There are any number of lipsticks
that fulfill a double function. They
not only enhance by adding color,
they actually protect as well. These
npsticks are made on soothing, emol-
lient base, 90 on smoothly and form a
protective coat which winds do not
penetrate.
Creaminess should be one requisite
Of your Winter and early Spring lip
stick. Any stick that Is hard or dry.
that you have to rub on the lips in
order to make q color impression
should be avoided. Any stick that is
very highly perfumed should likewise
be avoided because the perfume may
irriate the skin, encouraging chapping.
Many women like to use a little
colorless, lip pomade or very thin film
of their nourishing cream on the lips
before applying their lipstick. Not
a bad habit at this time Of the year.
And once you have applied your
lipstick, allow at least 10 minutes for
the color to set. Don't apply lipstick
Immediately before eating or drinking
Don't tug at the lips, don't moisten
the lips. and If they do happen to
chap don't bite the delicate tissue
Instead apply little cream or oil
The top skin will roll of as it is
ready to do SO, leaving a smooth, even
coat beneath.
The cold sore, often known as fever
blister, is not uncommon at this time
of the year. It really consists of a
small group of blisters, very close to-
gether with a Redeemed base. The top
of the blister is frequently scratched
of and the fluid inside cakes and
forms scab. Favorite site for the
cold sore is near the angle Of the lips,
where the blisters often run together
to form one large blister. Leaving
out serious conditions which herpes
(the cold sore) may accompany. these
blisters are often met with in colds,
nervous disorders, intestinal upsets.
and in very sensitive persons due to
exposure to sunlight or high winds.
Apply zinc oxide or boric acid oint-
ment to relieve itching and burning.
And paint the surface with freshly
prepared collodion. This forms pro-
tective coat to prevent entrance of
infection. Don't use ipstick over
the cold sore.

man is more despised than the one
who gratis his cigarettes off others
and who always manages to dodge
the check at dinner.
I would certainly advise you to
think long time before you marry a
stingy man. No other fault that a
husband can have can make a mar
riage more miserable for e wi:S, Lo-
cause it is something with which she
has to contend every minute Of every
day. 1t is worse even than drunken
ness or philandering in q husband,
because a drunkard cannot always be
drunk. He must have intervals Of
sobriety, in which he is pleasant to
live With. And the philanderer cannot
be eternally having affairs. There
must be interludes in which he brings
home flowers and jewel peace offerings
to his wife. But the tightwad never
relaxes his hold on his pocketbook
until death loosens his grip.
Always his wife has to be Inundated
by panhandling him as if she were a
beggar for every cent she needs.
Always she has to flatter and Cajole
and use the arts of courtesan upon
him to get new dress or hat Always
he rows over the bills, no matter how
thrifty she is. Always he begrudges
her and the children every pleasure
and every comfort. Always he morti-
fles her by deadbeating his way when
they go out with others.
know a woman married to a rich
man who once told me that in the 40
years Of her married life she had
never had as much as $40 that she
could spend as she pleased. I know
other women, married to miserly hus-
bands, in whose $50 handbags there
Is never so much as a quarter. I
know woman, who lives in a palace.
whose husband has never permitted
her to ask single member of her
family to visit her because Of the
expense it would entail to feed them,
but he sends her and the children
Summer after Summer to stay with
them.
These men are all moral, upright
men, with many good qualities, but
they are just stingy, and that ruins
everything else. Their love for their
families doesn't Ego as far as their
pockets. Unless you want to be one
of these unhappy wives. don't marry
your sponging boy friend.

IND you know that there are 13
shades of brown sugar made? I'm
til recently only one was packed, as
the brown sugars are used mostly to
make sirup and molasses. The second
to appear, however, is a yellow or very
light brown soft sugar that Is SAID
to be excellent for baking and for
cake icings. 1t has delicate flavor
and is quite moist. The house that
has put this new sweet on the market
has also Just put out delicious cane
sirup. 1t is a golden sirup and offers
a brand new taste sensation. Made
Of refiners' cane, it does not recrystal-
lize or thicken, but keeps at pouring
consistency in all temperatures. Dainty
little crystal sugar squares for the
demi-tasse is another new item, and
the discriminating hostess will well
come them! The squares are made OF
the finest of cane sugar, which
sparkles like true crystal!
POUILLON cubes made Of a con-
AZ centrated blend of vegetable juices
should prove to be of interest to
observers of the Lenten fast days.
There are two brands of this type
of cube on the market now and they
are fast becoming popular. Stock and
base for soups may be made with
the cubes, too aside from being used
in the normal diet they are excellent
for the invalid's and children's menus.
Another item Of interest along this
line is a tin Of fish balls in fish
bouillon. 1t is Scandinavian treat
and is imported. Available in small,
medium and large cans. Those Of you
who enjoyed this soup abroad will, we
know, be glad to learn that 1t is
at last procuTable here.

known as sponge. He Is supposed
to be in love with me, but he never
spends any money on me for enter
tainment. He never even gives me a
box Of candy or package of ciga-
rettes. Never thinks of taking me
TO a party or show unless some OF
my friends suggest it first, and when
we do he smokes the other boys
cigarettes and leaves them to pay the
bill.
His idea Of entertaining me is to
take me up to his home for bridge
and dinner, or else for me to make
up game at my house. This boy
has SO many other fine points that
