SUGGESTIONS Casserole Dishes the Thrifty Housekeeper
Routine Is
Important
In Facials
Also Wise to Analyze
Skin to Determine
Individual Needs.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IN THIS series on the home facial,
we have discussed the selection Of
the proper preparations suited to ones
needs, the arrangement in convenient
order Of the preparations and the ap-
plication with complete movements Of
cleansing cream, skin tonic, skin food
and astringent.
These four preparations form the
basic treatment. With the exception
of the astringent which should not be
used on fragile, sensitive skin. these
preparations are needed for every type
skin; dry, normal or oily. The very
young skin, like the sensitive skin,
can omit the astringent, substituting
the skin tonic.
In our facial outline, we did not go
into the application of correctives such
as blackhead creams and lotions, acne
preparations, wrinkle oils. eye creams,
pore creams and so on. Because there
are so many variations of these cor
receives that 1t would be well nigh
impossible to include them all.
However. it is simple enough to in
clude them in the facial routine that
we have outlined.
The important thing is to know
exactly in what order to use the
preparations, and it is most essential
to follow directions. Then, and only
then, can you really expect to get the
utmost good out of your beauty aids.
The majority of preparations are
to be used after the cleansing cream
and skin tonic have been applied.
That is the basic combination for
every type of skin, and the skin is
really more receptive to the corr
receives; or, at least, let us put it thus
way: The correctives can do a better
work on skin that has been thor.
oughly cleansed and toned first.
1t Is unnecessary to overburden the
skin. Therefore, if you are to use one
or two correctives, find out whether
your individual routine should vary
somewhat from the general instruc-
tions. Competent young saleswomen
are now stationed behind drug and
toilet goods counters. They should
be able to advise you. The facial
operators in the finer beauty salons
have been specially trained for just
this advice. And if you are at all in
doubt, write me your problems and
shall be happy to help you. Please
inclose self-addressed, stamped
scent envelope for reply.

Considering
The Patient
And Ailnnent
BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D.

ny JAMES w. BARTON, M. D.
nNE Of the dangers the thoughtful
~ physician tries to guard against
Is the tendency to call some symptoms
by q certain disease, perhaps have
a laboratory test as help, and then
prescri q certain treatment for the
disease.
A; a matter of fact this does not
seem wrong, and yet the physician
knows in his heart that it is the man,
his mind and body, his surroundings,
his reactions to various circumstances
that should be considered as well as
his headache, his underweight or
overweight. his rapid or slow heart
or other symptoms.
In other words the first consider
alton OF the doctor is not the symp-
toms o. disease, but the patient him.
self. Disease means not being at ease,
and the fact that the patient IS not
at ease may be as much the fault
Of the patient as Of the organism or
other condition causing the symptoms.
Disease is not an organism, nor

and the man who has the disease is
q far more important factor In To-
eating the trouble and applying
treatment than Is the disease that
has the man."
The point Is that knowledge ,of
all the sciences included In medicine
should naturally be part Of the
equipment Of the physician, but
knowledge. Of human nature, the
workings of the patients mind, his
reactions to everyday life Is just as
important II the patient--the individ-
ual-is to be treated properly Or

every one in the family is tired Of
the regular chops, chicken, roast rou-
tine, try one Of these pies, and see
how very welcome it will be!
II you have no leftover meat, q
can of beef stew will do excellently
as . base. Add to this q can Of
mixed vegetables and a little grated
raw onion-and presto, as soon as
the. crust bakes in q quick oven, your
dinner is ready! Beefsteak and
onions, or hamburg steak and onions,
both of which may be obtained in
cans, might also be used as meat
base for the vegetables. Extra left
over vegetables could be added to the
mixture, to make 1t richer and more
varied.
4 Il \
THE vegetables and the meat base
should be mixed together and
heated thoroughly before adding the
top crust. This hastens the cooking
Of the crust. which will prove lighter
and flakier under this treatment. If
you place solid piece of dough over
the dish, be sure to cut gashes in
it to allow the steam to escape.
Some cooks prefer to make the bis
cults separately. and top the pie with
them, smoking hot, buttered and
split-and either way will prove de-
licious.
Other somewhat more elaborate cas-
seroles, which take longer to pre-
pare, but are wonderfully good and
nourishing, are included in the fol-
lowing recipes. To shorten cooking
time, however, canned ingredients may
be substituted in q great many in
stances:

fowl, cut up.
slices OF bacon.
6 carrots. -

cup wild rice. g.

Inquiries
BY EMILY POST,

nEAR MRS. POST: My employer
heard that I needed new coat
and through his secretary he offered
me coat of his daughters. which
happened to be as good as new and
very expensive. but which she had
outgrown after putting on consid-
cradle weight suddenly. ! would like
to do something in appreciation more
than ] have. which has been merely
to thank my employer. May I buy
him a present, or send one to his
daughter?
Answer-No, don't buy present.
Thanking your employer was quite
enough, but if you would like to, you
can of course write the daughter to
thank her for being so generous and
tell her how much you are enjoying
her coat.
Dear Mrs. Post: There is young
man I have recently met and whom
I like more than anyone have met
since I came to live in this big city?
I met him at the house of friends one
evening, when they had asked him to
make fourth at bridge. 1t happens
that he is studying here in strange
city and as he has very little money
I don't believe he will ask me to go
anywhere. But when he said good
night to me at my front door. he exc
pressed q wish that he would see mo
again sometime. May ! take the in
itiative in this case?
Answer-Under the circumstances
I see no reason why you should not
invite him TO whatever you choose-n
yon are also asking others. Why don't
you ask him to make a fourth at
bridge at your house some evening
soon? But don't ask him alone.

Failure to Keep Mind and Sympathies
Young Is What Really Brings e
on the Wrinkles.

cold mutton into today's lamb chop
And no women are more pathetic
than those who acquire wrinkles try
ing to avoid them. and who grow old
before their time working to keep
young.
It is a pity that the women who
expend so much effort and so many
million dollars q year in vainly trying
to get themselves rejuvenated do not
know that there is surefire remedy
for age that never fails. That it con-
sists in keeping young mentally, in
keeping ones enthusiasm alive, in
having as many interests in life as
possible. It is not the hardening OF
the arteries that makes age. It is the
hardening Of the sympathies. For as
long as these are flexible, as long as
you can change your opinions and
alter your habits and are agog with
excitement over everything that is
happening in this interesting old
world, you are young, no matter how
many candles you have on your BIRTH
day cake.
For proof of this you have only to
observe how much younger intelligent
people look than dull people do at the
same age. Business and professional
women rarely look their age. City
women look younger than country
women because their lives are more
varied and exciting. Club women and
women who have interests outside of
the home are still mere girls, while
their stay-at-home sisters have sunken
into middle age.

TT IS woman having her mind
lifted and her ideas massaged by
conflict with others and her UNDER
standing stimulated, and her enthu-
siasms touched up and restored to
their natural color that keeps her

never old. It Is the heavy, dull wom-
en- who have never had new idea in
80 years and whose sole conversation
is about their grandchildren and their
rheumatism who are old. d..
The only effectuai wrinkle remover
is good nature. No astringent, no face
