A dark. conspicuous. fuzzy growth
Of hair on the face is indeed a prob

the continental viewpoint which re-

can women have gone to the other ex-
treme and in their dislike for superflu-
GUS hair have come to regard even
slight downy growth as obnoxious. Now
that slight, light down is natural It
Is natures protection to skin injury.
Look at a baby's cheeks and you will

to him was something beyond his con-
troll. The one thing that none Of US
can do Is TO love to order.
Doubtless it is inevitable that you
should have your pride hurt by hav-
ing your fiance fall out Of love with
you and in love with another girl.
But why not save your face by not
telling any one about it? It is un-
necessary to inform your friends OF
all the details. All that Is needed
for you to say Is that you and he have
decided to break the engagement.
Emulate the example Of woman
who has the true sporting spirit and
who, when her lover tired Of her and =
forsook her for another, said: Il won

lady" And that was that.
DEAR MISS DIX: There is a girl
~ who comes to our office each day
Just to visit and takes up about an
hour of our time, thus demoralizing
our schedule and forcing us to work
overtime. I have tried in every way to
let her know in a nice way that my
work must be done and that she is
making my Job harder. What should
be done to Office visitors? READER.
Answer-something very unpleas-
ant with boiling oil in 1t should be
done, not only to Office visitors but
to all chronic visitors who kill the
time of busy people. All OF US are
afflicted by one or more OF these
pests, inconsiderate men and women
who drop in on us at our most rushed
moment and who stay and stay and
stay, regardless of our broad hints
about how busy we are and how i'm
portant it is that We should get let
ters of in the mail or the baby bathed
or the children's lunch started.
IT'S folly to use gentle methods on
these time-stealers, because their
hides are as tnlck as tndt OF
rhinoceros and nothing short Of a
harpoon will go through it. Hence,
the only thing to do is just to tell
them bluntly that you have work to
do and cannot be interrupted and
that they will have to go or to shut
the door in their faces. If it makes
them mad, so much the better. All
busy people have to use this drastic
measure to protect themselves from
time-wasting friends and neighbors.
and the sooner you do it the better
Even worse than the office visitors is
the telephone fiend who calls you up
in working hours to CAB over the wire
about nothing at all. Here the REM
edy is easier, for when the time
killer starts on some story that he
heard at the club or tells you just what
he thinks of the Presidents policies.

her symptoms and give you the de-
tails Of her servant troubles, or to re-
peat little Johnnie's latest witticism.

have made an enemy who will never
speak to you again. And for all such
mercies, Allah be praised!

After an hour or so OF being alone
Hugo asked his mother Q queer ques-
tion. why does everybody like
Bobbie Dale so much? He isn't any
smarter than the rest of us, but the
way the crowd hangs on to him makes
you think he's a human wonder. I
can't see it,
For a minute mother pondered the
question. The desire to be alone with

would do her best to clear this up.
Briskly she answered, He. is such
q friendly, helpful sort. No matter
what's on foot he's ready to step along.
Any idea that is offered gets q boost
from him. He likes people and lets
them know 1t. He'd walk a mile to

wanted to be friendly and in' with
them. He asks for friends and he
gets them"
yeah. He asks for them. Before
I'd do that I'd 60 without friends" !"
That would be a great mistake,
Hugo. This world Is q busy place
and the people in it are hurried,
bothered, lonely. The one thing each
of us needs Is friendship. We have
to have 1t. We can't have it unless
we make q bid for it, invite it, do
something to win it. Nobody IS ever
going to force your doors to get to
your heart. You've got to keep that
door wide open. stand outside it and

How can I earn any?"

Is completely sewed and the sparerihs
are stuffed ready for cooking.
Since spareribs are among the very
tender meats, they are delicious when
roasted. They are placed on rack
in an open roasting pan and allowed
to roast in Q slow oven 600 degrees F.)s
until done, about one and q half
hours.
THERE are many kinds Of stunning
which are delicious with spare
ribs, but none Of them Is better than
an apple stuffing. Here Is the way
it is prepared:
APPLE STUFFING.
2 slices salt pork, diced.
"a cup chopped celery.
"a cup chopped onion.
cup bread or cracker crumbs.
"a cup chopped parsley.
tart apples, diced.
"a cup sugar.
Salt and pepper.
Brown the salt pork until crisp.
Cook celery and onion in the fat for
a few minutes, then add the apples,
sprinkle with sugar, cover and allow
to cook slowly until the apples are
tender. Add the bread crumbs and
season with salt and pepper.
IRON Pennsylvania comes another
different" recipe that has proved
most popular in my household. 1t
is called
sPARERIBs WITH sAUERKRAUT
AND DUMPLINGS.
Cut the spareribs into portions and
place in the bottom Of roasting
pan. Add the sauerkraut to cover.
put q lid on the pan and bake in
a moderate oven for l " hours. Make
dumplings by combining two cups
Of -four with one egg, beaten. one
teaspoon baking powder and one cup
of milk. Drop this mixture BY
spoonfuls on top of the sauerkraut.
Cover pan tightly again and bake
for 80 minutes longer. Serve hot
with picked peaches.
sPARERIBS EN- CASSEROLE.
Wipe the spareribs with damp
cloth, and scar them in a little pork
fat. Season them well with salt,
pepper, paprika and little lemon or
onion juice. Place them in a casse-
role between layers of raw sauerkraut,
and cover with boiling water. Place
lid on tightly, and bake for 2 hours
in q slow oven. Serve from the
casserole with fluffy mashed potatoes.

THE old fashioned cook books
recommend rubbing the spareribs
all over before cooking with salt,
pepper, sage and q cut onion. This
Is said to improve the favor, but as
my family does not care for the taste
Of sage, I have not been able to try
it out on them-so leave it to you
to experiment! In buying the meat,
it is well to allow pound Of spareribs
to q person-devotees really 60 for
them in big way!
Spareribs, roasted plain, are de-
licious when served with a very highly
seasoned cole slaw. The bite" OF
the slaw dressing cuts the fatty flavor
splendidly, and the contrast of hot
and cold will prove pleasing and
unusual. Spiced crabapples are also
good with the ribs, for a garnish. as
are baked apples stuffed with raisins.
Traditional apple sauce, Of course, is
always a perfect accompaniment-and
