Household Hints
'IENUGB GIOritiNg Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Pretty is the word that best de- scribes the new summer cultures. This is Q season to look prettier than smart, feminine instead of tailored. Gone are the Inannish tailleurs and gaElnin effects of yes- teryear. Women's fashions are soft and alluring. HairStyles, as always, follow the trend.
 With your broad shouldered prints that make your waistline seem slim and dainty, picture hats and soft costume colors, especially pink, boyish bob would be just about as appropriate as flat-heeled golf shoes or leather riding gloves. Whether you like 1t or not, you might as well admit that the mode of the moment calls for soft curls, swirls and waves that make you look like lady and not like q bare- foot boy with cheeks of tan.
 New Styles Easily Arranged
 But you will like the new coif- lures. It really is more fun to look feminine and, for most of us, Q good deal less troublesome than those boyish effects for which we used to struggle.
 At one of the most important Fifth Avenue beauty salons, there's woman hair stylist who lends 8 womanly touch to your tresses. She solves you coiffure problems in less time than 1t takes you to tell her about them, and, when she gets through with your head, you look like a new person 8 lovely one, too.
 She really can give you Q coiffure that is neat and simple enough to manage at home, yet distinctly feminine in keeping with your de- sire to be pretty rather than man. nishly smart.
 Unless your face is extremely long, you'll like a hairstyle that is plain at the back (nost of the new ones are), softly waved at the sides and finished with 6 topknot of curls right above the forehead at the front. The ends at the back are rolled upward and pinned se- curely. Even though you never have mastered the art of putting back ringlets in place with your own two hands, you'll be able to manage the half dozen which form the forehead topknot.
 For Girls Who Swim
 Another charming hairdress has no waves ct all. The hair is brush- cd backward, rolled a bit at the sides to add width to Q long, nar- row profile, and finished with one long, fat ringlet high at the front. Anyone ought to be able to coax this into place after @ swim.
 For more formal occasions. there's perfectly handsome coiffure that is brushed backward, curled in ring. lets across the top, rolled upward behind each ear and left smooth across the back of the head. The ends along the nape of the neck are held down with two long jade clips. If you are young and fragile- looking anyway, you might use plain clips and tuck tiny, fresh flowers into them.
 NEXT: More about being pretty.

 Food Suggestions R NR-. lR~ @ rN~
By Mrs. Mary E. Dague

Baked ham is Q dish that finds especial favor during hot weather. Once ham and other cured meats were served because fresh varieties were not obtainable in the summer. We serve them still because they are so palatable.
 But that palatableness is large- ly Q matter of preparation. No foods respond more completel yto righ and wrong ways of cooking. Here are Q few rules well worth following.
 If you are going to bake a ham or several pounds of Canadian ba" can, always let the meat stand in cold water for at least eight hours (depending, of course, on the size of the cut). Both the flavor and tex- ture will be greatly improved by this soaking.
 Cook Ham Slowly
 Always cook cured meats slowly. The curing process dries and hard ems the fibers of the meat and, in order to prevent brittleness, slow cooking is imperative. Whether the meat is to be boiled, broiled or bak- ed, low temperature should be main- tained.
 Something tart seems to be nec- eSsary, as an accomplishment 10 salted meats, but try to avoid serv- ing the same thing over and over. There's Q wide variety to choose from. For example-slices of orange (rind and alb Drowned in haTne lat; grilled apple slices: glaced apricots; spiced peaches; glaced baked ap- ples; chilled. spiced apple sauce; broiled bananas; ices and sherbets oi l pineapple, orange, lemon or lime Raisin sauce is an old favorite, but orange sauce, tomato sauce, frozen horseradish sauce and frozen mus tard sauce are as delicious for suIIl' mer meals. The combination oi horseradish and mustard is splendid too.
 The next time you must resort te cold boiled ham as an emergency try ham rolls. They take only Q few minutes to prepare and are most ap' petizing. Serve with grilled appl' slices.
 | Ham Rolls
 Four slices cold boiled ham, l cur stale bread crumbs, l tablespoon melted apple or currant jelly, ta blespoons milk, { tablespoons pre- pared mustard, paprika.
 Combine bread crumbs, milk, Jell, mustard and paprika. Spread 8 thii layer on each slice of ham. Rol and fasten with wooden toothpicks Place in shallow baking dish ailt bake in moderate oven (275 degree F.) for 20 minutes. Baste two ol three times during the baking witt fruit juice or vinegar from swee pickles. t

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Jim's mother was to help them dnd their way around.
 NOW ss 1t happened, thoy vera under obligation to these 1Eienda. Alfred had been kind, and it cera tainly seemed to be the least She family could do to make Enines pleasant.
 Future in Balance
 But here was Jim, with ono day of hard work and close concentrA~ ton between him and success, some thing that meant so much to him it seemed that his whole future de- pended on it. He was very intense. as his mother knew Q boy who was willing to work sIavishly for success, but who couldn't stand too many discouragements. She said he was sportsman enough to take defeat but first he must feel that he had done his best.
 They talked 1t over. Jim said. "But mother, what is right2 We have to be kind and give way to people, but does that mean we have to give up everything that means most of us. Haven't people Q right to be selfish once in a while?
 Question Has Two Sides
 '"There's Aunt May and Unncle Sam. You and Dad gave them money and things, but would you bring them here to live? Or give them your house? You say you couldn't stand 1t, with them sick and everything, but that's the way feel about this contest. I have to have tomorrow all by myself. I feet it's the only day in my life that I care about. I can't stand 1t not to fix my ship"
 His mother remembered Q Psalm that ran "The Lord Rewardeth the Proud Doer." What did that n1en1an? she asked me. Was the proud" doer he who gave in to everybody or the one who made plans and carried them through? She inclined to the second because, as she said, "Pro- greSs has some place surely in Gods plan." Yet there was also the story of the rich young man whom Christ told to give up every- thing.
 Jim lost the contest, because she persuaded him to entertain Alfred. Perhaps he would have lost anyway. He hasn't touched Q plane since, but sine thinks he will. I couldn't help her with the moral end of 1t, be- cause I, too, am philosophed enough to think there is no black and white, but thousands of grays between duty to self and duty to others. sacri. flee ends-where?

 Children, like their elders behave If there Is a good time to look for ward to.
 If they know something is just around the corner, like Christmas, 1t works on imaginations and colors the day. Anticipation is the great est tonic in the world for body and spirits alike. Change from routine is the best pick-me-up I know.
 Picnics may bore you, dear lady. Perhaps, too, you dislike bugs; and the sciatica again. But measure sitting on stumps or rocks stirs up these miserieS against the benefits to the family and a certain harvest of bette conduct and the scales will reverse, I think. Fulfillment is a powerful factor in a child's life; not too much, but not too little, either.

 So = when school is out, neigh borhood mothers might do little planning together. Oh, yes, there Is the church outing and the class picnic and the Girls Band swim party and the Boys Club holiday But usually they all pile up about the same time and then they're over It still leaves a summer ahead: and there are the sky, the woods and the cncek still calling over the roof to be seen and enjoyed.

 The effect of . drink of cold water when you are thirsty is to stimulate increased secretion of gastrict juice, appetite and enjoy- Hinent of food. The water improves digestion; actually aids in digestion and in excretion. It is a healthful habit to begin each meal with a good drink of cold water, c0r hot water if you prefer. It is also health full to take another good drink of cold water in the friourSe { Of the meal if f'you'a are at all thirsty. Never fear retarding or interfering with digestion.

No virtue or benefit in drinking water not cold enough to satisfy ones desire for a cold drink.

The next time your neighbors are planning q community picnic, take as your share of the good cheer 0 big batch of Cashew Drop Cookies. Pack them in Q cracker thor in two cracker tins, if the party is @ large one. For these cookies will melt away, like snow in sunshine, soon after the tin is opened. You never tasted crisper, crunchier cookies than these, full of the ini- mitable flavor of the popular Cashew Nut.

spots usually are within reach by bus or street car. The trouble with them, however, is that so many parents think of them only on days too crowded for the children to enjoy themselves.
 Know Places Children Go To
 Now comes the problem of allow ing youngsters to go off on picnics alone. The answer is yes and no. If they want to go out to Uncle Mack's farm on their wheels. this dozen or SO contemplating Olympians, or up on the hin behind the house where Jimmy can slide home to get his stone-bruise treated, that's one | thing. Get the sandwiches ready. But if, unofilcered, they want to go of some place that is only Q name to you, that is another thing, I think.
 Age, naturally, governs privilege always. Perhaps the apron-string has to be stretched at times to de- velop that pride in self-adventure that eats up all growing boys, but 1t is best to know pretty much of whereabouts. One general rule is safe to follow. Know wher they are going, know who is going and, above all, limit the time.
 For Q change. porch lunches" or backyard" suppers offer possibili- ties. And make all participants help. The children will never forget such delightful deviations from the hunl- drum as long as they live. Strange how willingly they'll help when things are different. Well, put them at it.
 A suggestion to fathers Is to try to get together a baseball nine and on long summer evenings stir up enthusiasm and prowess in their sons. Or to promote small tourna- ments of various kinds. Why leave vacation all up to mother anyway

 Again let me point out that ba- bies should never be over -clothed, particularly in summer. Tn very hot weather, they may be clad only in the thinneSt type of cotton under vest and e diaper. Remember that the hottest time is ct midday, and that 1t may be much cooler in the morning and in the evening, 50 that the baby will require extra coverings at these times.
 With too much clothing, the ba- by's skin will become moist; c sudden drop in temperature would result in chilling of the body, and possible frequent colds. On very hot days, a sunsuit may be worn as the simplest type of easily washable clothing.
 "A good test of the temperature condition of the child, and of the suitability of its clothing, is the molstness of the skin. If the skin Is moist, and particularly if 1t is moist and clammy. the baby prob- ably is wearing too much clothing.
 If, on the other hand, the feet and hands are cold and the lips are blue, the baby is cold and re- quires more clothing. If It's clothes

QUESTION and ANSWERS What Price Babies?

Physician who served as resident in obstetrics after graduation from medical school, then did general practice for five year, now for the past year has limited his practice to obstetrics writes: '"'.f. no req son for any one to mortgage the home to have . baby for $6O.OO' Many of us today accept eases for that price, or for nothing at alI fl necessary, although I admit ! usual- ly ask a fee of $l6O."
 Answer--If the physician gives the expectant mother prenatal care and remains in charge for three or four weeks after confinement, aa is the general custom, he certainly earns that fee. The old timer who charged from fifteen to twenty-five simoleons for just delivering the baby and maybe stopping in once or twice afterward to see # all haE1dE were still alive, was far more ex- pensive.
