Jack Calo, who during dull mo.

Mrs. Kay Bouley and Mrs. Cluney are considered the favorites to meet in the finals of this tour nament. If the blades of Matta- tlisk continue to go in for much more personal gclfing scenery, 1t will take femme society reporter to describe the apparel. Two of the latest to expose very substantial underpinning through the medium of shorts are John Cluney and Hubby Brown.

 Now 1t can be told. Several weeks ago Q well known radio star and an oficial from out Of town decided to visit Q golf course and run off IS holes.

But when they were half way there the radio artist noticed that Q small boy picked up both golf balls and ran away with them. The players started to chase the led, but soon gave up with the remark, "0h, well, We have Q dozen more, let him go, the little rascal"

TABLE----
 Food SnggeStiOnS By Mrs. Mary E. Dague

By NEA Service
 As soon as the weather gets cooler we begin to plan our meals with a first course in mind.
 In hot weather, when appetites lag, we are likely to simplify meals and get along with main dish, salad and dessert.
 But there's little or no excuse for doing without a good home- made soup when the days are cold. If you think soup is too much trouble or haven't the time to pre- pare it, you might serve such sim pie first course as boneless, skin- less sardines on lettuce with French dressing, or canned salmon with capers and vinegar. Shrimps on lettuce, with a sharp horseradish chilli sauce, ar eanother appetizing combination.
 Most people-men especially-en- job homemade vegetable soup that has many tid-bits of vegetables in it. Here is tried-and-tested recipe. The housewife who serves IIliS SUup VIII AAIu AI WCh WCt VII ehC effort of preparation.
 Country Vegetable Soup for Six
 One-half cup olive oil, to 8 onions, pepper, paprika, salt, 3 car- rots, cup shredded cabbage, 2 cups tomato juice, 2 or 3 leftover cooked potatoes.
 This is the simplest method of making a good soup if you don't happen to have any meat stock in the house.
 Cook the chopped onions very slowly, until Drowned, in the olive oil in a large kettle.
 Meanwhile cook the cabbage and sliced or diced carrots in just enough water to cover.
 When the onions are tender, add the carrots and cabbage and the water in which they were cooked.
 Add the 2 cups of tomato juice, salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
 Leftover cooked meat may be ground and used also. Add the potatoes, diced fine.
 Do not let soup boil after add ing the tomato juice; simply let 1t simmer for ten or fifteen minutes.
 If you are having veal outlets for dinner, don't throw away the scraps of veal that you trim from

 If the glamorously elegant new modes fail to flatter you as they should, yoIR grooming perhaps lackS the essential touch of feminine ex- uuisteness that sets of the new frocks to best advantage. Xouu be amazed by the difference g slit- ably soft coiffure, lighter makeup and meticulous grooming will make.
 Overlooked details such as the yellow vestiges of fading suntal1 play hob with the effect sought Dy the new fall fashions. The cosne- tics that looked SO well in the bright summer sunshine are apt to appear a bit garish now. And it's surpris- ing what an appropriate perfume does to the way you feel about thar fall outfit.
 Bronze skin and suntan makeup are not nice with black, fashions daytime favorite. They are dread- ful with coronation shades. If your face, neck, back and arms aren't lily white by now, better get 8 good bleaching cream or lotion and use it regularly. Or, if you like, make a homemade bleach of plain lemon juice and water. For the face and throat, use equal parts of each. For hands and arms, use lemon juice full strength.
 If you have temporary freckleS that appear only during the stim- 'mertime, do something about them immediately. One well known manu- facturer puts out a mild lotion which is to be patted on freckled areas every night and again in the morn- ing before makeup. You can't ex- pect miracles from this treatmens Cor from any other. harmless one)p but if you use 1t regularly, nighs after night, you will see results.
 If your freckles are the perma. nent variety, cover them as much as possible with makeup. FreckleS are not skin defects and, more ofa ten than not, they are quite charms ing.
 Until you get your skin bleached and soft and smooth again, better substitute lemon cleansing cream for the one you generally use.
 Put aside orangish rouge and lips stick in favor of the soft pinks ana bluish red tones. With wines, reds and opal blues of this seasons mode, blondes will find pinky rose shades of powder, lipstick and rouge most becoming. The brunette will lean to the blue-red range to acc cent her vividness and to harmonizs with coronation colors. Since Brits ish rose is the official color of the coronation, rose perfume promises to become more and more popular as the season goes on.
 Never put any kind of perfume or toilet water on your clothes or your hair. The odor of good per- fume is enhanced after it has been on warm skin for few minutes. If poured on cloth or fur, 1t retains it's original fragrant scent for only short time, then smells nausty and stale. This is likely to happen if you put 1t on your hair too. Be- hides, alcohol in it isn't good Tor your scalp.

By MARY FENTREss

Paris (UP)-The taller and slim- mer silhouette is stressed in the new Jenny collection of winter clothes. Tweeds are used extensive ly for morning Or for sports en- Sembles and are often combined with plaid or figured wools. The top coat is frequently trimmed with the same contrasting material that forms the blouse.
 Black, as is the tradition at this house, remains prominent for af- ternoon wear and tailored suits are particularly smart here. The straight skirts often rise high on the blouse, mounting to above the normal waist line. The skirt fulness is achieved above the hem by means of pleating.
 Blouses of lame or satin are worn with these skirts, which are com- pleted with short, tailored jackets trimmed with fur-ermine, beaver or astrakhan. The fur makes a small collar and rather wide, exag- gerated revers.
 AuS COdIS carry Out tue SCEHlkut silhouettes with slim lines and with belts always marked, though fre- quently worn without belt. Clas- sic fur collars give a luxurious touch. Coat sleeves are rather broad at the shoulder and fitted from the wrist to the elbow.
 Trimming on dresses is achieved by applied cr-out work, touches of pique, patent leather trimming and belts and small bouquets of mother of-pearl.

of drops should be used in eyes? Will any special diet relieve this condition? Miss l.. J.)
 Answer - I know of no drops. Sometimes such dry eyes or lack of tear secretion is due to deficiency of vitamin A. Booklet Building Vital- ity" gives food sources of vitaminS. Copy for ten cents and stamped ad- dressed envelope. Richest natural source Vitamin A fish liver oil. Richest food sources are escarole (chicory greens) endives), spinach both raw and canned, liver, cheese, butter, tomato or tomato juice fresh or factory canned.

 Please advise if 1t is true that the use of antiseptics increases liability to infantile paralysis. Is the picric acid spray that is being used con- sidered an antiseptic. .(S. E.. B.)
 Answer-There is no evidence that any such spray or gargle pre- vents infantile paralysis. Personal ly, I'd prefer to rely on the natural nose and throat secretions and avoidance of close association or contact with persons having alleged "cold" or sore throat.

How to Interpret Meaning of
 Dreams

Modern psychology teaches us to interpret famous dreams of history as well as our own nightly fanta- sies.
 Remember the beautiful dream Jacob had when he was banished from home? He'd tricked his blind father into giving him Esau's birth right-the elder brothers right to head the family. Jacob thought he was better leader than ESau, and so felt perfectly justified in his trickery. But he wanted others, eS- pecially God, to forgive and approve his deception.
 Psychology says his dream of the ladder, and of Gods voice saying that he and no other would inherit his fathers lands, represented a wish-fulfillment-a dream where 8 wish comes true.
 You, too, have wish -fulfillment dreams. Our 32-page booklet tells how to recognize these and other common types of dreams such as floating-in-air, falling through space.
 Send 10c for your copy of THE MEANING OF DREAMS to the Waterbury Democrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of book let.
