These nuts are cheaper bought
in quantities, and you will find
many uses for them. They are
delicious in winter marmalades,
jams, cookies and cakes. Their
high protein content makes them
a valuable addition to Savory
luncheon dishes.
In following the recipes often
chopped, ground, sliced or crushed
nuts are called for. For slicing,
use a bread board and sharp
knife. For chopping, use double
bladed food chopper or a large
sharp knife. For grinding use the
small knife of the food grinder.
Nuts may be easily crushed by the
use of a rolling pin on bread
board. A sheet of paper toWeling
should be placed between the nuts
and the rolling pin.
These recipes are for luncheon
dishes or for the hot main dish
for supper.

Just repeat your question and en-

good creamy lather of soap and
warm water; rinse off the soap
and pat dry. Then before going
to bed, sponge the face with

touch your hands to your sace.
The nails and even the fingertips
may infect the sensitive skin.
There is always dust about, and
frequently the hands are not quite

be, even after they have been
washed, so make it a rule to keep
your hands away from the face.

WITH all the romance and all

little jacket fits into the present
fashion picture, and into your
midwinter and spring wardrobe.
It is of quilted cotton print, gay
in design and coloring, just like
the native peasant prints of the
Tyrol and Dalmatia. 1t is inter
lined, and is pertly fitted, with a
little flaring peplum. There's al
most no end to the ways you could
use it in a resort wardrobe, and it
will be equally good for late spring
and summer. We've had it
sketched with a peasant type Of
costume, a sheer frock for late
afternoon or informal evening
wear. It will go equally well with
your simple blouses and white
skirts, with any manner Of white
frocks, and with your beach clothes,
too. 1t will make an admirable top
to the well-tailored slackS that
smart women are wearing for din
