the colorful new vegetables that
come in daily fresh from the
South.
Then, after learning about
what was coming in, in abund'
ance. they came home, finished
their marketing and when they
called me to come down were just
checking their finds, and getting
them ready to store in the refig'
orator.
After q CHEEKY greeting they
began their excited chatter about
how marvellous it was.

better, and much more uSable.
You know this afternoon he said,
the wholesale price had dropped
Tremendously and they are cheaper
at the store. There are three kinds
now, for yOr information, King,
Bell, and California Wonders.
The California Wonders are the

The new crop from the CarOlinaS
Is coming I'm. Then there Is excel
lent turnip greens and kale. The
kale, 50 we found out, was cheap
and plentiful but not as tender
as it has been.
Looks like there will be an
abundance Of greens eaten this
week. All the POpeyes can eat to
their hearts content" commented
Mary.
"AnOther thing that il begin

and that Is the OId.fashiOned leaf
lettuce that is marvellous wilted.
Head lettuce Is not quite 30 good
and rOmaine and endive rather
rare.
"Cucumbers are very good and
cheaper, but their companion in
salad, tomatoes, are expensive and
not - good as they should be-"
'The floods In Florida spoiled
the first CROP" explained Jane.
''The man ut the market said that
the floods have caused prices to
be higher on several things"
AS we talked about other vege-
tables realized how thoroughly
interested they had been. New
cabbage Of excellent quality was
fairly scarce. Limas are not as
good quality as they will be next
week. Sweet corn was introduced
on the washington market about
two weeks ago and the season will
last for two more weeks then start
in Texas. AS for fruits they found
strawberries, avocadoes, bananas,
apples, rhubarb, and citrus fruit.

Beauty
Nail and Hand
Grooming

This is such q good time Of the
year to check up on your cosmetics
and intimate things that one needs
for the early spring trips and
house parties.
Cruises are so interesting when
we can feel at ease about the out
fit we have and all the accessories
and beauty kit. We would advise
you to include some Of the new
products in your cruise packing or
for any long trip.
There is, always, as you know,
some spare time when one is away
from the usual routine that can
be used to good advantage in
toning up the skin or giving the
hair a little extra attention.
You may have been neglecting
your nails and hands and are plan
ming to get them "all fixed up
nice sometime soon." Isn't it just
like many of us to fee 1.-The time
will come when We will sit down
and do lot to improve ourselves,
but somehow we never seem to
have that extra time unless we
make a regular practice Of daily
care.
The quiet, reStful trip then
should be an ideal time to start q
regular schedule, and if you need
an inspiration to do your own
manicure, just provide yourself
with some Of the new products Of
fered recently.
Manicure makeup and nail
tonicS are so attractive now you
will find you can't help using
them whenever you have q few
moments to yourself. The beautiful
polishes that match lipstick and
harmonic with the new tints Of
face powder are irresistible. The
red shades are always good, and
the smart terra-cotta is ideal with
dark powders.
When you buy your polish and
remover, try to include q bottle
Of nail tonic. These oily tonics
really do keep the nails strong
and lovely. Just concentrate on
hand and nail grooming for q
white and you will be so proud Of
the results.
You may have my Hand and
Arm Treatment and also the Com
plete Manicure treatment for your
guide. Both of these methods will
assure you beautiful hands and
attractive, nails. En- Q Ose

Apparently the designers and the
consumers have been working TO-
gether as men wanted sports
clothes, they were produced and
ready for them. There has been,
however, a demand for q simpler
back. Some men felt conspicuous
into O suit such as Clark Gable
would feel perfectly at home in
felt in fact that they were
appearing as a bit too dramatic.
Designers continued to make fairly
fancy backs, however. until con-
Sumer demand made itself felt.
So this year there is harmony .
the palmer backs are here.
Plain Backs Here
With everybody pleased, with q
goodly assortment Of palmer backs
to select from, there's every reason
to believe that sports suits by the
thousands will be bought and
worn. The demand has been in
creasing for several seasons, and 1t
should continue this year.
One Of the smartest types is IL
Illustrated on this page. It is known
as the sunburSt back, named for
the arrangement Of the pleats.
There are two small pleats on each
shoulder. and six pleatS at the
top Of the belt. This is very simple,
and doesn't look elaborate in any
way. There is not even q center
seam or side seam in the back, the
material being carried around to
the front gore, or seam, which
gives extra plainneSS and SlimneSS.

It looks as though the Bachelor
Girls are going to be vegetarians.
With their vegetable bin filled
with vegetables and the more per-
ishable ones washed and protected
from willing in large covered
glass jars, they will be needing
new recipes for using them.
Jane explained that she was
going through her recipe files and
picking out the most tempting
delectable ways she knew for
using green peppers. Also, tomor-.
row they will plan their Sunday
dinner and breakfast.
Pay day was Wednesday, so this
is one of the favored week-endS
when they can make purchases
without too guilty conSciences.

the impression that there is q
dearth Of eligible men in the mar
riage market!
Girls-and charming ones, tc
Judge from their letters-write to
this column and say they never
meet any eligible men. They are
domestic, some Of them have com
Portable neSt-eggS in the way OF
savings, they adore children-but
an eligible man never appears on
their horizon. ...
Several Reasons
Hunting up reasons for this ap
parently lop-sided state Of affairs,
we come across the following:
Those almost human electrical
gadgets, which enable a man to
keep house so comfortably in his
bachelor apartment that he doesn't
need a wife to potter about. Girls
%aren't what they used to be. )"
Modern men are too selfish to
marry. And both men and women
want to begin their married life
with the comforts they've been
used to in the parental home.
And so the previous generation
continues to bark up the wrong
tree about the dearth Of marriages
when the Institute Of Family Re-
lations has discovered that for
every 100 unmarried there are 20
extra unmarried men to spare, in
the late twenties and early thirties.
With husbands, it seems to be q
case Of the worm being caught by
the early bird. Apologies to the
gentlemen for the comparison, but
no other proverb occurs in which
fits the case so aptly.
Good husbands, it seems, are
snapped up at the age Of IS and
a fraction, and the residue Of ell
gible men becomes each year more
unmarriageable. The low water
mark continues to IS, when unat"
tached males begin to get into the
undesirable class.
BY that time they have become
SO self-centered (egocentric) that
even the most domestically-in-
clined girl would hesitate to marry
one Of them. Or they drink, or
have other bad habits which make
them poor risks as husbands.
Other Factors
Bear in mind, please, we're dis
cuSsing the average mango
muses., multi-millionaireS and
model sons who have responsible
ties are outside Of this class.
Continuing, the Institute Of
Family Relations states:
"A more important difficulty is
that people do not always marry
in their own age group. LIN four
out Of five marriages the man is
older than the woman"
And you don't have to be a
crystalgazer to see that the older
a man becomes the younger he de-
SireS his wife to be, which inten-
sites the Differences of age
groups between the sexes.
It Is, therefore, evident that
every years delay in marriage,
after the early twenties, restricts
the average girl in her choice of a
husband.
But at this comparatively early
age, is a girl wise enough to
pick a winner? And is a boy Of

it be all right IL the brides mother

Does the maid Of honor buy
her own clothes? Does the bride
