to one Of the girls down at the

she were cooking for q husband,
she would have to cook more
than we do" Mary said.
I assured her that we had
thought Of that and that most
of the recipes were planned for
three. I was usually present so
certainly the recipes would sat-

Mary, with a wicked CLINT agreed.

Mary was going out Of the
apartment yesterday morning
when she noticed a pink slip
at the doorstep. It was a
memorandum h eaded ''the
United States Senate" and was
a notice Of an increase in
salary, but this was not what
held Mary's attention.
1t was this grocery order on the
back:
Two cans of spaghetti, lie: 2

"Well, now, look" she said most
inelegantly, holding out the paper.

Senators secretaries or whoever it
was that lost this, counts up very
carefully and makes a budget-if

Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

washing the face Is always
clasSed as homely, simple opera
ton that requires no special care
or technique. The point Is to
cleanse and refresh the skin, and
this can be done easily and quite
thoroughly with soap and water.
We find that as simple as this
may sound, it does require some
care or it may lead to harm and
injury to the skin and facial
muscles. We have seen women and
girls who seemed to feel a thor
ough cleansing Of the face meant
a brisk firm rubbing with the
wash cloth. .....;
They use pressure while the
muscles are moved about and
stretched, and the same drastic
movements are employed when
the skin is dried.
The correct way to wash the
face with soap and water Is to
first have the water tepid rather
than hot. Then make a smooth
creamy lather of the soap SO that
there are no undissolved flakes4to
lodge in the pores. The wash cloth
or brush may be used in a light
circular movement until the face
and neck is gone over and thor.
oughly cleansed.
The finger tips may be used to
massage the creamy lather around
the nose and corners OF the
mouth, but the strokes must be
light.
Remove the soap by srinsing
with clear water. and finish with
cold water. Rinsing to remove
soap Is so important. When the
pores are clean and rinSed prop.
erly they will not become enlarged
or clogged.
edo not use ice directly against
the skin-wrap it in q thin pad
of cotton or use one Of the ice
rollers or metals for this purpose.
Pat the face dry with towel.
The same caution must be used
in applying creams: Never stretch
the muscles with a too-firm stroke,
and unless you are familiar with
the correct movements, just pat
on the cream and remove 1t gently
with the tissues.

spoons OF lemon juice and one well
beaten egg white.
"Pour cold fruit Juice mixture
slowly into one cup Of cream.
Blend well and freeze. To be
smooth this needs to be stirred 0c-
CasiOnally. Serve garnished with
chopped cherries"
VEGETABLE COLORING
For dinner tomorrow the girls
planned to have ham and fluffy
boiled rice tinted yellow. One Of
the girls at the office had told
them about o lavendar party
where everything had been tinted
with vegetable coloring.
They said it was most attrac-
tive as they even had lavendar
mashed potatoes and lavender
rolls. That seemed extreme to
them but they liked the idea. The
yellow coloring was to be added
to the water In which the rice
was to be boiled.
Avocado salad, certainly a
luxury to them, was included on
their menu. Halves were to be
filled with tart French dressing
made from lemon Juice, oil and
seasoning. For dessert, plain
boiled custard with chocolate
sauce.
Their dinner does sound good
doesn't It? They are buying
az pounds Of ham so they will
also have enough for their chicken
shortcake and for dinner Monday
night. They have a delicious way
of preparing it that I will tell you
about then. <#

everything was all set.
"But the girls mother found
out, and begged MS not TO elope,
saying:
'"f you give me the ring and

II gave both into her keeping.

she didn't say anything about It,

when talked to her, she put
the date off until July. Still moth
ing happened. The shifting Of
dates has gone ON for two years.

to me 50 often, am not entitled
to break my word to her-run

1t looks to me as If your girls
mother was putting the dates
ahead till her daughter grew a
bit older and was more certain
of her feeling for you. Seventeen
Is quite young these days for a
girl to assume the responsible
ties Of matrimony, and mama Is
doubtless playing for time.
You don't tell me anything
about your earning capacity, or
If you are in a position to take
care OF wife. Doubtless these
things would both be factors in
the lady's accepting you as a son.

Blue Leads
In Spring
Suits
By WILMA LAVILLE

It seems that navy blue iS
to be the first color Of spring
here and other places, too.
Everywhere, in fact, where
fashion matters. Here's the
latest news from Hollywood
that I've been able to CLEAN
on the subject.
When Ginger Rogers was here
last week, her mother was with
her. It was next to impossible to
get any real information from
Ginger, so completely surrounded
was she by reporters, photograph
ers and admirers in general. But
her charming mother, really as
pretty as Ginger, gave me a grand
story on her daughters clothes.
Best Gowns Yet
She, Mrs. Rogers, says frankly
that she didn't like the clothes in
the last picture Ginger played in.
She SAYS the designer had been
doing things for older women,
hiding their defects, and when he
got really good figure, 1t was
lust too bad. He was afraid to
let a curve curve, or an angle be
angular where it should. In other
words, he hid her figure.
Her most successful clothes, so
far, were designed by Bernard
Newman for Roberta. And New
man has done the clothes for Fol
low the Fleet" her next picture.
Mrs. Rogers says they are lovely.
They are not rich, lavish or the
atrical; in fact, they are simpler
than the clothes for any previous
Astaire- Rogers picture, for the
story is about sailors and their
SweetheartS," gay youngsters with
empty pockets, so that elaborate
clothes would be out Of place.
Blues for Spring
Some Of the costumes that are
notable in the picture are suits.
There's one navy blue which Mrs.
Rogers says Is to be the Hollywood
rage for spring. Then there's q
navy surah silk checked in white.
Another striking ensemble for
street wear is q tweed, an unbe-
lievably sheer tweed in pale blue.
gray flecked with navy. All these
suits and jacket costumes are sim
ply made, and all Of very spring
like materials. Another sheer
fabric used is o thin chartreuse
lame ribbed with q slim thread Of
silver, a fabric that Is as light as
silk =..
r :Sheers for Evening -
The evening clothes in the pic
ture are all Of sheers, TOO, it seems,
There are two or three grand lace
gowns, and a black organza.
Sheers for evening seem to be as
good in Hollywood as they are
here.
Mrs. Rogers was asked about
the story Of Ginger'S feet hurting
80 badly, and said it was all true.
She told me that five pairs Of
shoes, Of each type, are made for
each picture. # so much as q
small scuff appears, and it is likely
to, with so much dancing, the
shoes are discarded, and in goes a
new pair.
The Washington times., 1936-02-08

q half teaspoon Of salt, a tea
spoon Of minced parsley and a
dash of pepper.
Add the diced chicken and
the wine and when well mixed,
fill shells with the mixture.
Cover with breadcrumhs, dot
with butter and bake in the oven
until the butter is melted and
the crumbs Drowned. Decorate
each coquille with Q sprig OF
parsley. ..-.

ROMANCE HALTED
ar Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We're schOOlmateS, and were
having . little chat while waiting
for the show to start. He asked
permission to sit next to me dur
ing the movie, and said eyes"
After the show he asked for my
address, and said he wanted to
call. I gave him my address, and
he repeated it carefully, SO as to
be sure.
"Then school broke up last
summer, and while / didn't stay
at home waiting for him every
evening, he never called.
when We met again this fall,
after school opened. he seemed
happy to see me, and waved both
hands. We don't see as much Of
each other as we used to, be-
cause we're in different classes.
81 don't know what to make Of
his asking for my address and
then never coming.
DISAPPOINTED"
Your fellow student may have
been too shy to ring the doorbell.
Or he may have felt he should
take you to a show. and hadn't t
the price; or-and this would be
too bad-Some other girl may
have caught" him after he
memori2ed your address.
When you meet, be gay and
casual, and the chances are he
will again ask for your address,
In which case you might ask him
if he doesn't need a memory test,

Health
of
Infection
By LOGAN CLENDENNG, N. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDENNG, N. D.
Surveys Of the incidence Of In
testinal parasitisn In the United
States indicate that q surprisingly
large number Of the population are
carrying some sort Of an animal
around in their bowels. Most of
these are, however, quite harmless,
such as the little one-celled ami
NAL, trichomonas, which may be
found in many perfectly healthy
people.
Others, on the contrary, may
produce very severe symptoms,
and others may possibly be the
cause Of obscure nervous symp-
toms, the cause Of which Is not
even suspected.
More important than treatment
Is prevention. The first item in
prevention it to be sure that all
meat taken into the mouth Is well
cooked. The second Is to be sure
that all raw fruits or vegetables
are thoroughly washed before be-
ing eaten.
The third Is that the hands,
especially of those who come into
contact with the ground or OBJ
jects which may be contaminated
with dirt or soil, are thoroughly
washed before every meal, be
cause these parasites do not Just
happen in the intestine, they get
there fron the food
Beef TapewOrm
The commoneSt tapeworm In
the temperate cline Is the So
called beef tapeworm. It Is never
found in countries where beef is
not utilized as food. The adult
form occurs only in the human
intestine, and the larval form, or
cyst, is found in the beef. The
cyStS are readily killed by brief
exposures to high temperatures,
and will always be destroyed In
cooking. Therefore, infection oc-
ours only from the uncooked por-
tions of meat or when raw beef is
used as food. Many hamburgers
are practically raw IN the center.
The roundworm, which is so
commonly found in children, Is
due to the swallowing Of dirt con-
tanning eggs. This dirt may con-
taminate the fingers or finger
nails, whence it Is conveyed to the
mouth
Peculiar Cycle
In the body the roundworm
has frequently q peculiar life
cycle. The eggs develop into
small worms In the intestine, are
absorbed into the blood vessels,
carried to the liver and then to
the lungs. From the lung spaces
they break out into the bronchial
tubes, are carried UP to the
throat and swallowed; in the in
testine they then grow into adult
worms. In spite of what seems to
be q harmful, and is undoubtedly
an unpleasant sounding process,
they seldom do very much harm.
They are readily removed with
oil of chenopodium in small doses

lowed by a purge.
But, as we emphasized at the
beginning of this article, preven-
tion is more important than any
thing else in worm infeStation..
