LOOKING THE PART
To look at Mr.. Prangle, about the
time he was eased out of College
and began to ramble in the daisy
dotted Field of Literature, it never
would have been suspected that he
had this lurking Determination to
Prove to the whole World that he
was Heller.
Who would have dared to predict
that Herbert ]. Prangle was plan
ming to write Love Stories so siz-
cling that he would have to use As
bestos Paper? To look at him he
was just as passionate as q Rubber
Glove.
Even as the bloody Historical Ro-
mances are written by slender
Maidens just out of Smith College,
and all that Free Verse about
Nymphs dancing in the shadowy
wildwood is turned out by hard
faced old Grouches wearing Over
shoes, and Advice to the Love-Lorn
comes from Police Reporter, so it
was inevitable that this Clam would
write about heaving Bosoms and
Clinging Kisses.
Then there came Day when the
Book Reviewers all began to gibber
and say that New Light had ap-
peared in the heavens and it was
Some Light. about 1000 Candle

THE GLARE OF THE
LIMELIGHT
For matter of Years he had
waited and hoped for this Day to
come. ALI through the toilsome
Nights he had been sustained by an
intrepid Belief that some Day the
World would simply have to recog-
nize him. He felt within himself the
Pulsations of True Greatness and
he knew that, eventually, the Uni
verse would vibrate in Sympathy.
Well, he began to get the Vibra-
tons and they nearly ruined him.
He suddenly discovered that One

suddenly found himself in a Class
with the Ford Joke, the Radio. the
Statue of Liberty and Ziegfeld's
Follies.
He found that he could not stir
out OF Doors without being trailed
by brazen Hussy in shameless At
tire and sticky Rouge, known as
Publicity. He learned, in a Hurry
that the Laurel Wreath had lot
of Thorns in it.
Which was fairly hard on a harm
less Boob who was just as pure as
Rainwater.
Ii distant Relation, whom he
never had seen, got into a Jam anv-
where, it always came out in the
Dispatches that the accused PARTY
was a Cousin of the well-knouyn
Novelist.
Mr.. Prangle received countless in
vitations to address the Women and
the Rotarians and the Free Think
ers, but he could not generate suffi-
clent Vocal Energy to make Him

couldnt do anything except sit in a

'Dear Donna Grace: Will you
prescribe in your column q good

tan? "R. A."
Dear R. A.: It is a mistake to
bleach the skin while 1t is ex-
posed to the elements of sun and
wind. It will take a little time
to effect a bleach under the best
conditions and the very first time
you step out in the sunlight and
wind the skin will tan and posi-
bly, burn at once. This cannot be
avoided in the summer season un-
less you stay in seclusion. Bleach
your skin, If you wish, later on
but now keep 1t smooth with your
creams and oils.

peroxide If you wish, but it really
is a good antiseptic.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
81 am going to entertain q
friend who is leaving to make her
home in the East. Is it cOnsid-
cred good taste and customary
to give her a gift at the time of
the party, or would that embar-
rass my guests? Would it be
better to give her something
when seeing her off on the train?
"H."
Since the gift to your friend
is being given to her only from
you, not a group gift from the
guests at the party, it would
seem to me that it would be more
delicate for you to give her this
gift at some other time. At any
other time, not necessarily at the
train.

The meat can be purchased as
hamburger meat or can be ground
to order. When this is done,
you have a chance to make your
selection from any Of the less
tender cuts such as chuck, rump,
flank and breast.
If you are combining pork with
beef, both can be ground in just
the proper proportion for best
flavor. Fresh pork added to veal
in proportion of one to two Is
such a combination.
The meat when seasoned and
blended for proper taste and con.
sistency can either be baked,
broiled, or fried. This recipe
calls for French fried meat balls.
The patties are fried in either
lard or other shortening.

the better it is. Place heaping
