If you have always had a yearn-
ing to cook, you will enjoy this
situation and appreciate the diff
culties encountered when she is
faced with the problem of pleas
ing the delicate palate of the
gangSter- gourmet who loved such
things as crepe suzetteS, lobster
thermidor and caviar. One din
ner party looms insignificant in
comparison!
Specialize
While such cooking Is an art,
you can achieve certain triumph
by having a few dishes that you
can prepare and serve to perfec-
ton.
Having three or four standard
menus, one for a Seafood dinner,
another for delicious ham. and a
third for a broiled dinner could
complete your repertoire.
If you are starting from scratch,
it is best to choose only the sim
plest recipes and follow them to
the letter. After you have made
them successfully. you can then
start experimenting and find
adaptations that are more to your
taste.
A failure or so will dash your
hopes, so leave the more elaborate
recipes for those Of experience.
Here are two dishes that you
can season with an air of aSSur-
ance, garnish to perfection, and
find appreciation in quick praise.
These recipes are not for experts
but are for those who are just
beginning.

JEALOUSY
~Dear Miss Fairfax:

~Dear Miss Fairfax:
"He has asked me several times
TO marry him, but two things keep
me from saying yes. We're both
terribly jealous Of each other,
though neither Of us has given any
cause for this unhappy state Of
mind. 1t has led to many quarrelS.
"The second is our height. When
I wear flat heels, he's two inches
taller than I am, and, when 1 wear
high heels, there's hardly any diff
ference between us. Under these
circumstances. do you think it
would be advisable for us to
marry? "PUZZLED.
My dear Looking-for-T Trouble,
why do you go out of your way,
miles and miles, looking for some
thing to worry over? You tell me
you have no cause for jealousy,
and yet you quarrel over it. And
don't you realize that when man
towers inches above a tiny wife,
they look as unmatched as the
wholly imaginary difficulties
you're worrying over?
Even suppoSing you were the
taller, wearing the highest of high
heels, what difference does that
make?

One of the most striking fea-
lures of the living room was the
combination of maple and strictly
modern furniture. A maple love
seat of the colonial period, for
instance, blended charmingly with
a chair of black and chromium
upholstered in white leather.
The walls were apricot. har-
monizing with the brown Of the
maple. A rug of deep cocoa color
covered the floor, with white
rug in front of the fireplace &C
centing the white lamps and
other accessories. Grapes were Of
glazed chintZ with a profuSion Of
pink and brown flowers on a
white background. White vene-
tian blinds hung at the windows,
taking the place Of glass curtains.
Modified Colonial
Architecture Of the house was
modified colonial, with the in
terror, naturally, following suit.
In the living room, however, a
very modern white fireplace
seemed perfectly at home among
its more proSaic surroundings.
The lighting arrangement of
the room was unusual. There
was no ceiling light and the only
wall Sconces we're over the fire
place. Numerous lamps lighted
the room and the ceiling was
painted a darker shade of apricot,
rejecting a soft glow when the
indirect lighting was turned on.
There were seven doors in the
living room, but they had been
planned to give a maximum of
wall space. A closet opened in
the living room. making it pos
Sible for guests to put their wraps
away without having to disturb
anyone in another part Of the
house.
Linen Closet
Lucky is the housewife who has
a specially built linen closet. The
exhibition house at the National
Home Show held recently in Bal
timore had such a closet that
was designed for the linen needs
Of the household.
Bed linen, towels Of all kinds
and dining room linen had 6

identified ribbon bindings made
it a simple matter to choose 6
sheet for a single bed or a full
size banquet cloth without open
ing out a dozen wrong articles.

Chop finely with large chopping
knife on wooden board.
Dot oysters with remaining but
ter and brown in a hot oven for
10 minutes.
BrOiled Steak
Another type Of meal that is
easily prepared is broiled dinner.
Broiled steak never fails to bring
quick appreciation. Some of the
cuts of meat that are suitable are
Sirloin, porterhouSe, tenderloin or
fillet of beef.
In broiling, preheat the oven for
10 minutes. Then grease the
broiler rack slightly, arrange
meat in center. Broil the steak
on one side for 5 minutes then
turn and broil for 10 minutes on
other side. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper and place a good sized
piece Of butter in the center and
serve at once.
This is timed for a Rre steak
that is cut ~ inches thick. Since
mushrooms are on the market now
in such abundance, they make an
ideal sauce for your broiled steak.
These can either be broiled in
butter with the steak or served in
sauce.
For your sauce, buy u pound OF
fresh mushrooms. Wash and chop
in pieces about 12-inch in size

Health
Weather and
ArthrihS
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

ny LOOAGN NALNDG4NAANNb1 NA'D'
The kind of arthritis that gets
worse in the winter is, in almost
all instances, associated with an
overgrowth Of bone.
These spots of overgrowth are
tremendously sensitive to changes
of temperature and barometric
changes, which result in conges-
ton and swelling around the over
grown parts. This swelling i'm
pinges upon the delicate nerves
around joints and results in ex-
quiSite agony.
The treatment Of this form Of
arthritiS must take into account
the fact that permanent changes
have occurred in the bone. These
changes can't be undone.
1t is probable that focal infec-
tions cause the overgrowth of bone.
and removal of these foci will stop
a continuance of the process, but
it would be wrong to suppose that
removal of foci of infection will
cause the disease to disappear, and
hopes based upon any such theory
are false.
Time Element
This form of arthritis occurs
usually after middle age, and the
most hopeful thing that can be
said about it is that as time goes
on the condition improves and
becomes stationary; the pain dis
appears, which most patients find
the most important element in
the case; here remains behind
some fixation of the point so
that it loses its movability, but
in people past middle age this
is not nearly so important or so
much of a disability as it would
be in younger people.
After the removal Of focal in
fections, therefore, time is a very
important element in treatment,
and if the patient can wear it
out, he will eventually get we'll
for all practical purposes. This
should be remembered when
drastic m t h d S of treatment
tempt one to take unnecessary
chances.
What to do while wearing the
arthritis out is a question. The
most important element in treat.
ment, If this philosophy of the
disease be corerct, is the relief
of pain, and most of the treat
ments which have been advocated
or advanced for arthritis are di-
rected toward this object. This
is true of the use of heat in va.
rious forms, water treatments,
massage, or exposure to lights.
We will consider these treat.
ments more in detail tomorrow.
AS a preliminary, however, 1t is
important to remember the influs
ence that weather changes and
cold make upon the process and
make every provision to protect
from these elements.
II circumstances permit, re-
moval to a warmer climate during
the winter months: if they do not,
it should be possible to keep the
patient indoors and warm most OF
the "a hours.
Staying at home on a wet slop-
by, snowy day will repay in divi'
dends and will probably be an
economic saving in the long run.

Beauty
Ba sis of All
FaCials
BY DONNA GRACE

The fundamental principle Of
all facial massage is to lubricate
the skin and to stimulate circula-
ton, and there are ever so many
methods Of manipulation that will
have the same ultimate result.
The professional operator will be
familiar with the various SyS-
TENS, but for the home treat
mentS there is no necessity in
learning more than one simple
and effective treatment. l have
selected one that is splendid
method for home use.
The first step in any facial
treatment is to cover the hair
with a cap or with a towel, and
be sure that the hair is securely
covered as it is so annoying to
have wisps of hair in the way
after cream has been applied.
The first application is the
cleansing cream. This is put on
so as to cover the face and neck
but not massaged, as the name
signifies, it is to cleanse the skin
When this is removed, apply q
cleansing application Of astrin-
gent. This is put on with little
pledgets of cotton squeezed out
of the astringent.
Two Creams
The home massage can be done
with only two creams-the cleans
ing cream and the tissue cream.
You are ready for the tissue cream
after using the aStringent.
Place the tips of the fingers Of
the left hand at the left side OF
the forehead and hold them there
while you use the tips of the fin
gers of the right hand to make
circular movements across the
forehead with the tissue cream.
Rotate the tips Of the fingers
on the frown lines over the nose.
Do this several times each time
you circle across the forehead.
Now take the open palms of the
hands, little fingers meeting over
the nose, and slide the hands with
firm pressure out toward the ears.
The next movement is a series
of circles from the chin line to
the ears. You can use both hands
at the same time. Do three or four
circles in front Of the ears after
each movement. After five Of
these movements use the open
palm stroke again, following the
same line from the chin to the
ears.
The next movement will be to
circle up the line from the corners
of the mouth to the noStrils. Fin
ish each movement with four cir
cles around the nostrils and up
over the nose.
The movement around the eyes
is just following the contour Of
the eye over the eyelid.
The Lips
Massage the lips next in the
same circular way. Then take
both open palms and use a firm
stroke to push back the facial
muscles towards the ears. Always
push up and outward. Use the
open palm movement to rub up
under the chin and also towards
the back of the neck.
These are not complicated
movements and they are the only
ones you will use to give yourself
splendid facial. When you have
removed the cream, use your as
tringent in this way:
Put two ice cubes in a bowl
and pour in one teaspoonful of
astringent and an ounce of water.
Squeeze out little pledgets of cot
ton and sponge the face thor
oughly, then dry and you arr
ready for your makeup.
All of the above movements
should be repeated from five to
eight times depending on the
time you wish to take.

For illustration, few days ago
the papers published an actual
happening that, for unexampled
tragedy, seemed to be the final
stroke in unbearable suffering. No
use mentioning the names of this
eternal triangle again. They've
had enough Of publicity; the pa
perS have been full of them.
The story concerns young mar
ried couple, both aged %, and
their 18-monthS-old baby. The
other point o. the triangle is a
girl of 18. The young husband N
his passion for this girl tempo
rarily left the rails as we say.
He was a victim of that fleeing
mania, which for the time being
replaces reason, responsibility and
sanity.
Only Temporary
Fleeing is the word for it, as the
history of such cases is that they
are temporary. AlienistS have
been giving d good deal of atten-
ton to them in this our Jazz Age,
and the consensus of medical
opinion is that sex crazeS do not
last long.
Their own violence starts the
conflagration that consumes
them-the old smile of fire to
chaff.
Agonizing as conditions brought
about by this mania may be, huS-
bands and wives who are its VIC
Tins should remember that the
more furious the passion, the less
likely it is to last.
But this was what the 3d.
year-old wife forgot, or perhaps
didn't know. She realized only
that the wheels of her little world
had ceased to turn, all because of
q girl who was downright homely.
Desperately she called together
the little court of three-huS-
band, girl and herself. The baby
was asleep in the next room. The
young wife begged the girl,
begged her husband-and neither
of them listened. She brought
forward every argument that a
woman whose child, home, life
itself was at stake, but the other
two were deaf.
"Then I'll give you your free
DOM" she said.
TRAGEDY
Without a word, the young
mother went into the next room,
knelt beside he" baby's crib and
prayed. Only God knows what
she begged at that hour.
The two in the next room were
disturbed in their lovemaking by
the sound of a shot. The young
mother had shot herself through
the heart.
And now the young miss will
have none of the irresponsible
young man she bewitched!
One cannot but wonder what &C
count of his mothers death this
young father will give to the child
when he is old enough to under
stand. And what the young home
wrecker thinks when she is alone.
And lastly, what will become OF
the baby?
