Our Bachelor Girls Find An Lntri6uin6 Recipe

part seemed very important If they
were to be SerV d in approved
Dutch Shio n-"sprinkle with
lemon juice and garnish with
fried egg per portion"
Since the girls usually made up
their own recipes or tried out
things their friends told them
about, they considered this quite
an event. Even the name had an
intriguing foreign ring.
Raw dandelion salad was a new
one but Jane assured me that
greens at the first of the season
were delicious in salad-they were
served much as leaf lettuce.
Sometimes S h e chopped them
with green peppers, hard cooked
eggs and Swiss cheese, and served
them with French dressing, but
often she wilted them with hot
bacon and poured over them sour
cream sauce. That was the way
they we're being fixed tonight.
Here is the way it is done.
Fry out two slices of bacon that
have been chopped and pour over
dandelion. Then measure "a cup
of cream, and tablespoons of
butter into skillet. Beat into l
egg, a teaspoon of sugar, 2 table
spoons of vinegar, salt, pepper,
and paprika. Add to the cream
and heat until thickens. Pour
over the greens and serve at
once.
When I asked her what else
she was having on this spring
menu, she said that she thought
it needed a starchy vegetable
and she voted for creamed corn
straight from the can! Mary
had not been consulted as yet so
they might have new potatoes.
For dessert, they were having
mixed fruit cup and cookies.
Tomorrow night, Jane said that
they were going out to their
favorite market, so they will prob
ably come back brimming with
ideas for spring kitchenette
cookery. We shall see.

"By this time my husband was
in California, and he sent word to
his family to take the children.
1 had to let them go, as was un-
able to make enough money to
support them.
"HOnsewOrk is the only thing l
can do. An old family friend, who
has been like a father to me and
the children, then offered to marry
me If l were free.
81 would do almost anything to
be reunited with my children, and
1 think this man would be kind
to them. But he is very critical
of me-that is, my appearance,
the way 1 keep house, even my
miSfOrtuneS.
81 keep hoping that my husband
may get tired of running about,
and that he will come home to us,
so 1 hesitate to get a divorce and
marry this other man. L. E."
1t is doubtful if you would be
happy married to a man who con-
stantly criticizes you before mar
riage. Usually. they wait till after
the ceremony. before beginning
that. And frequently men who
are kind to children while they're
counting their mothers, are any,
thing but kind later on.
I'm all for women, when in a
spot like yours, trying to do some,
thing which will enable them to
stand on their own feet. How we'll
do you cook? How we'll do you
keep house? Part-time work is al
ways in demand if it is well done.
See what is open to you in some OF
the domestic science classes. Don't t
be a pawn showed hither and
thither. Try for a little economic
independence on your own account.

Beauty
Exercises for
' The Mouth
Rv DONNA GRACE

Do you know that it is posi-
BILE to change the shape and ex.
preston of the mouth?
When we stop to think of the
senSitiveness of the mouth, we
realize how easily it portrays our
every emotion. 1t is one feature
we can control as we like. We
often see persons about in public
and sometimes it is our own &C.
quaintances whose mouths are
far from attractive.
The mouths take on any mum.
ber of peculiar shapes. from the
severe. tightly-pressed lips to the
flaccid, loose expreSsionless type.
The whole business is a habit
that is formed first from imi-
tating others and then from
nervousness. lack Of poise, and
worst of all. a little desire TO
grimace and show off.
Young persons may affect the
latter tendency as means of
attracting a tt EN- t. on to them
selves. They are natural imi-
tators and watch every twinge
and twist of the mouths of their
elders. so possibly their ridiculous
little mouthing may be the por-
trayal of some of the mannerisms
they have copied from grownups.
No really good actress or per-
son of culture will ever resort to
meaningless mouth gymnastics.
Their mouths express their
thoughts and personalities, but
beautifully and restrained. The
mouth needs exercise to keep the
lips flexible and sensitive. but
when in repose it should be re-
fined and lovely.
The only way one can know
the most becoming and attractive
mouth is to sit in front of the
mirror and observe the effect Of
various expressions. There is al
ways one that is more flattering
to each individual, and we must
know what it is.
There is no need of one feeling
self-conscious and awkward in this
kind of mouth control. To begin
with, all real mouth beauty de-
pends first on beautiful thoughts.
Then the facial poise will conform
naturally. Thin lips and those that
are too full may be corrected with
persistent exercise and intelligent
study of our own best expressions.

NEW YORK, November 7.-Spurred
by wage boosts, bonuses increasinc

Many forged into new high ground
for the recovery with gains of frac-

a few as much as s. Transfers were
around 100000 shares.
Selling kept the list in a rathe-
narrow range in the first hour, but
in the final period heavy buying
orders put the ticker taps behind for
several minutes.
A further advance in U. S. Govern
ment securities aided sentiment. Oth.-
bonds improved. The price of export
copper was given another lift to its
highest level in 5 years. Major COM
modities more than held their own.
Leading the forward push were the
motors, steels, coppers, alcoholS,
merchandising and speciality issues.
Only the rails were backward. The
utilities also failed to get far out i'll

Prominent on the upturn were

Generous disbursements to share

benefit by a substantial growth in

well-known cracker box is the Plimsoll
mark, or sailors safeguard, originated
by Samuel Plimsoll of Bristol, Eng

ment to protect insurance companies
from dishonest shippers who criminal
ly overloaded unseaworthy ships, over
insured them and then sent them out
to their doom In the seas. Even though
sailors have signed articles, says a
writer in the Washington Post, they
cannot be compelled to sail on a ship
loaded deeper than this mark. Its po-
sition is mathematically accurate, be-
ing figured on the form, displacement
and cargo-carrying capacity of the

Perhaps it was the loathing in her
face, touched to life by his hoarse, un-
steady voice, which stirred afresh the
hell in his heart. Anyhow, he threw
his arms wide, fists clenched.
"Will you have me?" he cried. "Win
you have me, or We got to take you?
Because I'll have you, just as sure as
hell itself! I'm desperate and I"
Nan had opened her lips to cry out,
when white fury flung through the
doorway. Her cry was lost in that
gasp of breath which burst from Tod's
throat as a hand caught one of the
outstretched arms, as he was spun
about and Stuart's fist Dashed into his
lips.
The boy struck hard, struck with all
his weight coming in, and when he had
struck he squared for another blow
But Tod West was not too drunk
for action. He dropped his head, and
Tended off the failing fist He swung
forward and charged and wrapped his
great arms about Hollis slender body,
sweeping him from his feet, crashing
with him against the door casing, fall
ing with him to the floor.
The lad was no match for that pom
derous strength. He was overwhelmed,
smothered, made helpless. He kicked
and writhed. but West had one arm
pinned beneath a knee, the other Sc
cured in his iron grasp and his fist
raised to do its cruel work on that de-
fenseless face. -.
And then Nan screamed. The quail
ity of it, the shrillness, the terror,
struck through Vests intent, made him
hesitate. In that instant Holt freed a
hand: he was over from his back to
one side. upsetting West, graphing
for the mans knee, throwing him off
balance and f1oundering free.
But it would have been only a mo-
mentary advantage, that. He never
could have prevailed against Tod's su-
perior physique
Mans cry had brought others. Feet
sounded on the steps; and before West
could charge again and MAIN and bat
ter, he was surrounded by a dozen
people,
Two men had Holt. Another stood
before West, blocking the way to the
boy, should he attempt advance. But
he did not. Breathing heavily, he
glowered for moment at Stuart and
then. seeking out Mans face, nodded
heavily.
"All right" he said. Il said my say.
And that, / guess, will be ALL"
He turned for the entry. and none
blocked his departure
He left the steps slowly, feeling his
bruised lips gingerly. Then outside the
lighted Office window he halted. looking
within as Nan, taking Holt by the hand,

Ezra Adams, returning to Mans af-
ter an hour in Jim Hinkle's home, came
first into the excited group In the big
room, was told what had happened,
asked Mans whereabouts and went,
without knocking, into the Office.
They stood close together, the girl
holding both Hollis hands in hers, look
ing up into his face intently. The old

nificance of their postures, hesitated as
If to withdraw.

hands: "And so you will be careful.

and turned, going abruptly. not look
