TIPS on the Food Market
BY LUCIE EBERLY.

in price than it was the first part OF
the season.

CHUCK roast and ground beef are
~ this weeks meat bargains. Some
of the local stores and butcher stands
at the market are featuring all types
Of sausage meat for the week end,
too. Lamb is a little higher, while
pork stays the same. Poultry, tur-
keys, capons, Long Island duck and
SQUAD. are plentiful and stay about
the same in price. Geese, large ones
we're seen at some stalls and appear
to be tender and meaty.

CEAFOOD is being received in good
- shipments. Halibut steak, fresh
croakers, rockfish, bluefish and Span
ish mackerel are specially priced
Oysters are coming in better ano
better-large and ,deliciously salty
Shrimp is plentiful, as is lobster, lob
ster meat and crab meat. One is apt
to forget that crab meat is available
at this time of year-it is, as q
matter of fact, exceptionally good just
now and hot crab meat cakes with
cole slaw, on a snowy Winter evening
should prove to be an ideal piece
de resistance.

Dorothy Dix Says
Tact Is Usually Far More Effective Than
Force in Breaking Off ENGAGEMENT.

scream il he was asked. loose duckie
is 'oo?" one more time. Long before
the week is over he is calling for help
from his Office.
Another way to break off a match
that can be highly recommended is to
take the romantic heroes out of their
own environment and transplant them
into that of your son or daughter.
The cowboy who looks so picturesque
in his chaps has shed his glamour
when he gets on store clothes. The
snappy comebacks of the waitress that
sounded SO witty when she spared
with customer seem vulgar and COM
mon across a dinner table. The lack
of education, or culture, or familiarity
with social conventions that seemed
not to matter at all when tramping
through the mountains or sailing on
the sea loom insuperable obstacles to
a marriage when the background is a
drawing room instead of Gods open
spaces.
KNEW one mother who kept her
daughter from marrying a drunk
ard by sending her to visit a friend
who had done so. One week of seeing
the hardships. the poverty, the hu-
mutations that a drunkard's wife en-
dures made Isabel break of her en-
gagement to a handsome and fasci-
mating souse.
And I knew another woman who
gently waited selfish, high-tempered
and tyrannical man to whom ner
daughter was engaged into the outer
air by continually telling him how
glad she was Maud was going to mar
ry him, because Maud was SO delicate
she needed big strong man who
could take care of her and save hes
from every hardship; that Maud has
always been used to having such pref
ty clothes and going on trips so she
wouldn't really know how to do with
out them. Mother would sigh and say
that she feared Maud was extrava.
CANT and useless, but she was such g
dear. And by the time mother mad
got IN her fine work she had given
the suitor such a case of cold fee,
that he stumbled out of Maud's life
forever.
On, there are many ways of break
ing OF an engagement, if you will Just
choose the right method.

AS YET. the recent court decision
= regarding the A. A. A. has not
been much felt Merchants claim that
it will be month or more before there
will be a tangible difference in prices
owing to the fact that there is yet
a great deal of process-taxed food in
circulation" Smoked ham and cured
meats, for instance, will undoubtedly
stay high for some time to come,
though optimists claim there is bound
to be a slight decline in prices.

IN SPITE of zero weather, We find
the vegetable stands as colorful as
ever. Green and root vegetables are
being received in large, good ship
ments. Tiny, tender. crisp carrots
from California are this weeks real
buy-only cents bunch. One
would be led to believe that it was
Midsummer-that they had just been
pulled up from nearby gardens, so
beautifully fresh are they. Iceberg
lettuce from California and Arizona
is another special at 6 cents a head.
Green peas and cauliflower, celery.
radisheS, watercress, broccoli and
spinach are all excellent this week
end. Some of our local stores are
running a special on tomatoes--red
and ripe, from Florida and Cuba.
They are unusually large for Mid
winter tomatoes and are firm and
full of flavor. New potatoes, the
Red Bliss variety, are also being fea-
tured, as are the Nancy Hall sweets.
FLORIDA oranges are flooding the
fruit stalls-large, juicy and firm.
They are at their prime and the
Florida crops, it seems, have been
exceptionally good and large this year.
Navel oranges from California, are
plentiful, too, and are priced accord
ingly. Large, luscious strawberries are
seen in most all the larger stalls and
they are surprisingly low in price
for this time of year. Western box
apples are extra fine, as are the
D'Anjou pears, and both are reasona-
bly, priced. Bananas, which are now
sold by the pound, do not seem to
be at their best this week-we under
stand that there has been a shortage.
Grapes seem to have felt the cold
snap and are not up to par. There
will be new shipments, however-but
these will be slightly higher in price,

come in large lots and are extra fine.
Grapefruit, too, is good and the red

First, there was the baby swaggeI

bold gamblers check with wide fare
to it and belted tightly way up under
the arms. Under it was worn brown
two piece dressmaker suit and with
it a brown felt with rakish green
feather. For cool deck promenades
there was shown a long-coated woolen
suit of gold color with huge collar
of lynx.
One of the best surprises was the
four-way suit of aqua blue and cherry
red, a delicious color. combination.
First you see jacket and skirt of
light weight woolen in aqua blue with
blouse of printed crepe in aqua and
cherry. The trick is that there is
also a printed crepe skirt, so that you
may have a complete printed frock,
either with or without a blue jacket,
as well as blue suit with print
blouse. A cherry red felt hat COM
pleted tnis bit of smartness.
GRAY jersey was shown as a high
~ style, with jacket striped in blue
and white and a cerise scarf. A coral
wool jacket suit was worn with sweater
and felt hat of turquoise blue.
Jacquard wool bathing suits with
matching hooded capes or jackets
we're new, and the white pique bathing
suit printed in small floral pattern
has a freshness all its own and is
lined with white jersey for modesty's
sake.
The indispensable play outfit in
nay blue. consisting of tuck-in shirt
and culotte, or divided skirt, with
white belt and white vizor cap was
just made for good time and won
immediate applause with its casual
charm. Dark colored native prints
and calico garden frocks were new
ideas also.
FOR evening, tropical prints Of
gay colors on white alternated
with floating chiffons. Black lace was
stressed as welcome contrast tC
daytime pastels. Black net over black
taffeta with balloon sleeves on Its

p UDDY and Hal were hurrying

would get to the game scheduled for
the afternoon. AS they raced up the
81" stairs Ruddy suddenly slowed his
step, then stood still.
Go on, will you?" said Hal. whats
the idea? Want to miss this train?"
Take it easy. We can't go ahead
so fast. There's an old man ahead OF
us and he can't hurry"
For cats sake!" yelled Hal, reach
ing over and grabbing Ruddy by the
arm. Then come over this side and
| push"
But Ruddy didn't respond to the
pull. He held back and stayed where
he was, and, to Halls astonishment,
went up few steps and slid his arm
under that Of an old, bearded patri-
| arch who was slowly and painfully
treading his way up the steep flight to
the platform.
| There was nothing to do now except
wait for tn. pair, and Hal did so with
evident displeasure. After the old
man was seated in the train he smiled
up at the sober-faced boy who had es-

cap and retreated to where Hal was

meet on the street The fellows would
punch your head of if you had kept

IT guess not" said Ruddy calmly.
When meet an old man or an old
woman who needs a lift that ] can
give, they get it, and that's that.
Maybe somebodyll do the same for my
grandfather. You got a grandfather"
Sure. But he's different. II it was
him I'd look after him. Sure. But not

You shouldn't if you don't feel that
way. But whenever see an old man
like him I can't help thinking of my
grandfather. He's great. When I was
a little chap he used to walk me in the
park every day and stay with me and
play with me- When I got playing
with the other kids he sat on the
bench and made believe he wasn't
looking al us. He took me to school
by and by, on stormy days. If it rained
at dismissal time and he knew didn't
have a raincoat, there he was waiting
for me with the outfit. He's my good
old standby every time. Just because
know how tickled he is when I give
him my arm, or wait for him, or bring
him home some little thing. just to
show don't forget him. get real
kick out of pleasing him. Old people
have to have somebody to like them,
don't they?"

were a nut and a Softie, but"
IF you lived in my house, boy. you'd
be told that age comes before youth
and beauty, and you'd take your hat
off to gray hairs and give them first
place. If you didn't Nom and Dad

Proper Hygienic Care
and Health Develop
. Smooth LONELINESS.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

UIORDS of advice and wisdom. do
: w not try to change yourself by
: makeup, but use makeup to enhance
: your beauty
: I was particularly pleased with this
personal message, because it is so def
: nitely in line with my own ideas and
: preachings in the matter of makeup.
Z Makeup, like perfume, when used
{ subtly to add its alluring touch works
beauty magic. But attempted in too
. strong doses the effect becomes not
{ only obvious but ludicrous. So it is
! when you attempt to create beauty via
I makeup. You can't create an illusion
of clarity if the skin isn't clear, or If
blemishes mar. The foundation must
{ be there; the clear, smooth loveliness
I that comes with health and proper
hygienic care. On that you can build
{ you can enhance as Myrna 10y says
: On that you can create an illusion of
6 bloom, color, you can emphasize and
8 YOU can add interest.
, Her message is particularly interest
, ing because Myrna 10y is sculptress
. of no mean ability. Her artistic fingers
. can indeed create. But she also knows
. the Joy of living that is so deeply
-. rooted in health. Born in Montana,
her childhood was spent on large
I. ranch. Western cowboys taught her
to ride The freedom of the great out
doors was hers. Now in her Beverly
home she collects paintings and sculp-
ture. but the craving for excitement
: and action fingers and flying is her
: way of expressing that craving.
Olive skin, brownish red hair. green
eyes. Isn't that a gorgeous coloring?
I Wisely enough, she uses but little
makeup. Grey eyeshadow, black

because her olive skin is alive and

: hair. And for evening she chooses
{ green to emphasize her eyes.

every night, using small rubber pat

, And in the morning she washes her
. face with cold water. No excuse for
. not following that bit of advice. Here
; would like to repeat that cold water
is natures own astringent, and very
fine one at that.

About Town.

During the rush of holiday balls 1t
was noticed that many OF the
debutantes and smart young matrons
wore evening gowns which boasted
filmy capes swinging from the
shoulder to the floor. These capes
were either of the same material as
the dress and in the same color. or
we're chosen for distinct contrast. The
hem Just escaped the floor and the
swirling draperies gave a charming ef-

One gown in particular merits COM

Style Note.

Most Of the midseason clothes stress
well-cut tailleurs, made of mems suit
ings. Win such a costume, severely
simple felt hat, in harmonizing shade,
well-tied ascot of brilliant hue and
alligator pumps with built-up heels
are suggested. A carnation bouton-
Mere and amply cut doeskin gloves
would complete a perfect ensemble.

A RE you headed South or just
~ naturally interested in all the
~ things that 60 into the trunks
- that make those cruises and
Southern beaches such terribly fas-
cinating places right in the midst Of
Winter? The shops are of the opin-
ion that everybody will enjoy their
resort collections and profit by getting
some advance fashion news, so they
invite you to see their newest de-
partments and even offer you fashion
shows to put across the ideas more
graphically.
You will discover that among the
important colors is sail red. that tawny
red of sails found on little fishing
vessels in Venice and seen so often
in japanese prints. 1t is a nice color
to think of in connection with the
sea, and it is slated lor big Spring
success, although heretofore We have
thought of this color as more suited
to Autumn.
Greens are prominent in the pic
ture and loads of blues, dark, light
and in between. Cloud pink is a
pink that is dustier than ever and
will be contrasted with various claret
shades. A very pale chartreuse with
quite yellowish cast, like a pale
greenish jonquil, is a lovely color for
chiffon.
THE tailored suit not only retains
its place of prestige, but is given
additional impetus as style feature
from every important style source.
The strictly man-tailored suit is al
ready making its appearance in a
new material called sharkskin, with
it's very tiny checklike pattern in
brown and white. This suit has every
thing from padded shoulders and
weighted jacket seams to watch fob
buttoning into the coat lapel and fit
ting into the breast pocket. Suits
in a variety of materials, including
flannel and linen, will give every one
an opportunity to stock up on these
standbys, which seem so exactly to
fit into the everyday life of the mod
ern girl and woman.
Now for just few of the biggest
features in showing of resort wear
which was given this week in local
shop in case you missed being there
on account Of the bad weather.
