The recipe for the fried rice
was given between many comingS
and goings into the kitchenette
and table. Mary said:
1--WE melted one-half of a fourth
pound of butter-guesS that is two
tablespoons Of butter and table
spoons Of cooking oil in a skillet,
then added a cup of dry rice.
'Bet they use lard in Mexico" "
Jane interrupted. "And," cOntin-
ued Mary, "this recipe came from
girl who lived in Mexico, SO she
should know. After the butter is
heated add about a cup of dry
rice and stir as it browns. That
is one Of the secrets in prepara-
tiOn-Stirring."
'Tt requires attention but not a
lot of thought" Jane said.

OTHER DISHES
They were having with this a
Mexican salad, flat cornmeal wa.

The salad was made by com

For dessert. Mary said they were
having a fluff more delicious to

Beauty
Some Make-Up
'Musts
By DONNA GRACE

You are, perhaps, one Of those
girls who has her full line of cos
metics and makeup, and yet you
feel that you never have that
clear, translucent. wellgroomed
skin.
We frequently receive letters
from girls who tell us they use
only the best products, but can
not get the results they have a
right to expect. These are the
girls who are likely to make ex-
travagant purchases Of fine
creams and powders, and when
the effect is not what they antici-
pated, they believe the products
are inferior.
The makeup must be the cor.
rect one, and the other products
also suitable, but nearly every
girl buys her cosmetics with keen
discrimination nowadays.
We find that the failure to
achieve the pleasing effects may
be traced to careless, insufficient
cleansing Of the skin. The success
Of all makeup depends on the
smooth, clean skin texture, and
the thorough removal Of every
trace of old makeup.
When it is possible, oily skins
should be washed with soap and
water, as it will remove excess
oil and freshen the skin perfectly.
The business girl and those who
are away from home during the
day will find there are skin tonics
and aStringentS that may be used
for this, but these cleansing
mediums must be kept on hand
so that one need not put on a
fresh makeup before the old one
is taken off.
There are nice, inexpensive
fitted boxes that are put up
especially for the convenience of
the business girl, and we heartily
recommend such a case for every
desk.
Try this cleansing routine for a
few weeks and you will find the
skin will radiate with the delicate
translucent lovelinesS we all ad-
mire.
Mrs. Helen M. c.: Blushing is
no great handicap. If it embar
rasses you as you say it does. just
stop thinking about it. There is
nothing to be gained by taking our
selves too seriously. Try to be
more blase and sophisticated. Your
social activities would indicate an
interest in things outside your own
home. Try to ignore your own
emotions and you will find they
will soon cease to distress you.
Whether we blush or not is really
of no Importance. Your own
gracious personality will assert it.

To prepare it, pare and boil
white potatoes with just enough
boiling, seasoned water to cover
them. Watch carefully that they
do not stick to the pot. When
done, strain and press through q
ricer into an earthenware bowl.
Add salt, pepper, a large lump Of
butter, a little at a time, beating
vigorously all the while.
After the potatoes have ab-
sorbed all the butter, commence
adding cream and continue beat

I arrived before the guests.
The tables were set with

my attention was called to the
fact that the 10-cent silver had

night with nothing but Mexican
food" said Mary.

ture. With dresses it is the
OF course this isn't a rule, but
it's nearly so. Printed frocks
often need no trimming, and you
will even find severely plain
dresses in solid colors. But as a
rule, even prints take accent of
frills or furbelows, bits Of lingerie
trimming, or some other soften
ing and flattering touch to give
animation and movement.
Varied Accessories
Suits, even If they are not
really tailored, are rather plain
this spring, but they do not ap-
pear so. For with them you'll
wear a hat with a veil, a blouse
with a frill at the neckline, col
ored gloves, shoes and bag. There
is great variety in the accessories
that are available, so that even
if the suits are rather similar,
the complete picture of a woman
well dressed does not need to be
uniform.

from Paris on the subject of col

about hats and their colors. Says
Helen KoueS, fashion director of
Good Housekeeping:
THE right new hat will pick
you up in spirits and perk you
up in appearance in this in-be.
tween season when your spirits
are low.
"You may choose from halos
bonnetS, toques, sailors, upturned
brims, rolled brims, brims with
ruched edges, shovel shapes
cloche shapes, as well as classic
types in felts. To add to this
livelineSs of variation there are
also heart-shaped hats reminis
cent of Mary Stuart. and hats
with fan-Shaped feathers reminis
cent Of Henry III.
Besides feathers there are
other trimming notes; knots OF
flowers, tufts Of ribbons, touches
of pleating and ruching, as well
as wells. Wells are often stiffeneo
and coarse, almost always short
sometimes tied in big bows form

both shiny and dull panamas
baku, exotic weaves, and the new
shiny cellophane straws. Fabric
hats include pique, linens, silks
woolens and open-meshed mate
rials.
"Pleated and wavy ruches O.

Paris scarves and ruches art

navy, strong green, bright red

ANY FATE BETTER

"Oear Miss Fairfax
'Men expect to be forgiven their
youthful mistakes. Why isn't this
fellow who called himself Pur-

the girl? The world is full OF
men who are great-hearted enough
to marry this girl. and who would
never remind her Of her false step.

Horoscope 'sThe stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1g, 1g3e

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1936
 Until late today adverse planetary aspects dominate, according to as- trology The evening is read as fortunate for newspapers and those who contribute to them. The planetary government seems to foreshadow deceit and treach- cry in public issues. Political meth ods are subject to sinister influenc- es making for plots and secret plans.
 Agitation which concerns govern ment employees now may be far reaching in effect. The stars are read as frowning upon men and women who seek radical measures.
 While the seers foretell steady gains for European Socialists bitter antagonism will be developed in this country. Members of the in telligententsia are under adverse planetary direction.
 Saturn is read as disturbing to workers in various parts of the country. Contests between capital and labor will develop unusual fea- lures next month, if the stars are wisely interpreted.
 Sudden changes in the groups surrounding heads of federal and state departments of government are prognosticated. A cabinet res ignation may surprise Washington soon.
 Under this sway girls who have become tanned may regret too per sistent exposure to the Sun. The health of many may be affected by the process, astrologers fear. In the horoscope of the Emperor of Japan the stars indicate a per- iod of consolidation and develop ment that will create world wide anxiety
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- plexities that relate to relatives and property. They should be eau tious regarding legal documents and should not shift responsibil- ity.
 | Children born on this day prob ably will be resourceful, practical and capable of planning far ahead. Subjects of this sign often are se- cretive in their manners and methods.
 Bernard M Baruch, financier and economist, was born on this day 1870. Others who have cele- , brated it as birthday include Col leen Moore, motion picture actress, 1902; Orville Wright, inventor and pioneer flier, 1871.

Regardless of party politicians every one knows that business has been especially good in Alaska this summer in all lines of activity The fish ing industry is experiencing almost the banner year for production.
