CURRENT EVENTS
Dear Miss Fairfax:

81 am boy of 20, attending a
local university. 1t seems that
when 1 am introduced to a girl, /
can never think of anything to
say to carry on the conversation,
and 1 don't know how to act in
general. ID. c."
Usually, girls rush into conver-
sation in a positively headlong
manner. And boys tell me that if
they can't manage to say some
thing while these young ladies are
struggling for breath, they have
no chance to talk at all. Ones
environment often furnishes an
opening wedge to talk. If you're
introduced out-of-doors, you can
comment on the garden, flowers,
sunset, or the family dog or cat,
which happens to be hanging
around.
If you read the newspapers and
keep up with current events, there
should be no lack of subjects to
start the conversational ball roll
ing.
Did you hear So-and-So's talk
on the radio last night?" do you
like the music the radio fur
nishes?" The movies and theaterS
furnish endless topics.

friends if she will attend the coor,
and, as I suggest above, two other
friends at the tea-table. This will
most conveniently organize your
party.
Yes, you will have to provide
room for your guests to remove
their coats and gloves. Reserve the
bedroom for this. When they have
returned to the living room. pre-
sent them to your mother and
your mother-in-law. In few min
utes, ask them if they wish to
have tea now?" If they indicate
they do, tell them where the tea
table is, and then they will be
served by your cohostesses there.
Since your living room will not
be over-large, I think that the idea
of having the tea served in the
dinette is the perfect one. Have
your tea-table there completely
equipped. If the guests wish,
after they have been served with
their tea, they may take it with
them to the living room.

space, 1 would appreciate them.

"WOuld the hours 3 to 6 in
the afternoon be the correct
time?
81 had thought of having only
one person pour the tea. This
person would be my mother. Is
this correct? Should / have the
grOOm'S mother pour the tea
also, or assist in any way, or
should she Just be a guest?
Should the bridesmaid assist
the bride in receiving the guests,
and should I have some other
friend attend the door? Or is it
more or less an informal tea?
My home being a little small for
large number of guests, perhaps
my bridesmaid could serve the
tea? If 1 have too many assist
ing, I'm afraid 1 will not have
much room for the guests.

guests remove their wraps and do
we serve them with tea as soon

MOTHER GOES ALONG
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"What do you think of a young
man so tied to his mothers apron
strings that every time he takes
a girl motoring, she has to go
along? Sometimes mamma even
insists on sitting with him on
the front seat, and 1 occupy the
back seat alone.
I'm not the only victim of
the apron strings. One or two
other girls have told me the
same thing, and now we have
secretly formed the anti-aprOn-
string society, and have all de-
cided to turn him down flat,
when he asks us to drive.
"If the old gag, that a good
son makes a good husband, is
true, please let me say that a
man who always takes his
mother for a drive, when he has
a girl along, seems to have the
makingS of good ninny as well.
INDIGNANT"
The antl-apron-String club seems
to take care of this situation
completely, and any word of mine
would be superfluous. Perhaps
this young man may carry his
maternal affections to extremes,
but if he completely disregarded
his mother, as so many of them
do, what would be your opinion
of him then?

Beauty
By DONNA GRACE

It is quite important that we
do all we can to protect our skin
from the harsh effects of the cool
weather Just around the corner.
You must begin to temper the
severe cold against your sensitive
skin by going out at the first
change of season.
There is as much difference in
the skin and complexion of a girl
who becomes immune to the cold
air and the one who stays in a
dry, heated room as between the
invalid and one in good health.
Fresh, cool air imparts an IL
Illuminated brilliancy to the eyes
and to the texture Of the skin
that changes the whole appear
ance and temperament as well.
Here are some of the annoyanceS
you will experience if you do not
temper the cold to your fine
skim; dull, lusterless eyes,
chapped, dry skin, coarse unman-
ageable hair, a red nose and
rough hands, dry and broken
nails, an irritated, itching skin
and other calamities that we will
not scare ourselves with by men
tioning.
You must lubricate and oil the
skin every day or so until it be-
comes firm. The most luxurious
way to do this is by body mass
age. Creams and oils refine the
skin, and the manipulationS are
splendid for taking the aches out
of the muscles.

It is amazing how many guests

o'clock is often considered bit
too early for tea.

The best advice of good cooks
narrows down into these points:
First, find a good recipe and
follow it exactly. Blend the
chilled shortening with dry ingre-
dents thoroughly but not to the
pastry stage. The mixture should
look like coarse corn meal.
Add only enough liquid to form
a ball of dough and mix until the
dough follows the mixing fork
around the sides of the bowl.
Turn out on the highly floured
board, knead lightly for about
one minute. Then roll lightly,
cut, place on the baking sheet
and bake in a quick oven. 1t
takes only about IL minutes for
them to brown to perfection.
Here is standard recipe for
biscuits, one you can depend on:
Baking Powder Biscuits
cups of flour
tablespoon of baking powder
u teaspoon of salt
"a cup of shortening
"a cup of milk (more or less)
Sift the dry ingredients. Cut
in the shortening until the mix
ture looks like coarse cornmeal.
Add the milk; mix with fork
until all of the flour is blended
and the dough follows the fork
around the bowl. Turn on the
floured board. Knead lightly for
one minute. Pat to 1a-inch thick
ness, cut and bake on lightly
creased pan for IL minutes in an
oven set at $50 degrees.
After you have perfected your
"luck" at biscuit making, try
one of it's many variations. One
cup of whole wheat flour can be
substituted for one cup of the
white flour. One-half cup of figs
or dates cut in coarse pieces and
floured may be added.
If you like the taste of peanut
butter this may be used in the
recipe with good results. The
shortening must be decreased,
however.
In the above recipe one-fourth
cup of peanut butter is about the
right amount. Decrease the short
ening to two tablespoons.
If you like the old-fashioned
kind of biscuits made with
cracklings, then try splitting the
biscuits as they come from the
oven and laying strip of crisp
bacon on them. The bacon will
give them a delightful flavor.
For breakfast menu popovers
are delicious. They are even sim
pier to make than biscuits. Their
success depends to a large extent
on the temperature of the oven.
Serve them as they come from the
oven.
Graham POpOyers
cup of white flour
l cup of graham flour
y teaspoon of salt
2 cups of milk
2 eggs
Sift the white flour with the
graham and salt. Add the milk
and beaten egg. Beat hard for so
seconds. Pour into muffin tins
and bake in hot oven (450 de-

temperature to $50 and cook for
