A MISTAKE
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"When I came home for the
Easter holidays, believe me, was
in q holiday mood. ! went into
a drug store and picked out q
dozen Easter cards, and sent them
to some old friends. There were
four left over, when / had ex-
hausted the number of really
close friends, so / began to think
Of doing kind deeds.
Among others, I sent a card
to a girl 1 never had paid any At
tentiOn to, or any other fellow
had looked at, for that matter.
She's all round the most unat-
tractive Jane you can imagine.
'"WelI, she wrote me q disgust
ing letter of thanks, said she'd al.
ways liked me but had never told
me so, because she did not think
her affection was returned. / paid
no attention to this. But after
1 went back to the job, I was bonn
barded with letters. She came to
visit me, oh 50 properly, with her
mama.

that none Of them meant anything

ness and one without.
But to get back to our whites,
the new way to do them is snowy
white alone, slick white fabrics
such as sharkskin, made with a
fair amount Of severity and worn
in white purity that ''hits you in
the eye" For sports you will find
women wearing white sharkskin
Stacks and bolero or jacket, with
a touch of color in belt or shirt.
Bright color can be combined
with white in this way, and the
effect is stunning. Or your cos
tune may be all white.
White For Evening
For evening there is now q
great vogue in Hollywood, and
fast coming here. for lovely white
chiffon gowns, full skirted and
free flowing. Many Of them are
worn with capes Of white feathers.
maribou or white fox. The effect
is fil1ny and lovely, and extremely
new.
Other whites may be printed OF
embroidered in color, and have
the same smartneSs as dead white.
An au-white dress with colored &C.
cessorieS is good, and white with
white accessories and a colored
hat is anoth9r grand idea. Colored
gloves to match the hat may be
your only other dash of color. It
is significant that smart New

believe. There have always been
some wearers Of white, but not
the best-dressed people.
Race Track Fashions
Even in Paris they are wearing
white, and that is news indeed. 1t
is appearing in suits, much like
our sharkskin or other lightweight
fabric suits, in redingoteS over
dark or printed dresses, and in
soft crepe dresses. Such costumes
appeared frequently at the races
during June, which is a fashion
able month in Paris. It is very
interesting to note, too that many
street length clothes were worn
in England at the race tracks, in
place Of the trailing gowns which
we reserve for garden parties or
Sunday evenings.
On this side Of the ocean, white
was the most popular at two smart
sports events. the New London
boat races and the opening Of Della

in the East. There were great

Cooked only until golden brown,
it is flavorful and delicious. No
lemon or garnishes are needed
for it.
ANOTHER METHOD
Another method of camp cook
ing of fish that recently came to
my attention is for baking it in
the skillet.
To prepare fish, clean and scale
them. Place in cold salt water
for an hour.
Lay the fish in the creased
skillet with the skin side down.
Cover with milk or equal parts of
canned milk and water. Sprinkle
with crumbs, cover, and place
over a low fire. When the milk
has evaporated the fish will be
done. Be sure not to overlook.
This is also method that can
be used over the open fire.
Have the fire built in a small
"oven" of stones. These stones
can be shaped either as an oval
or a three-sided rectangle but
should be narrow enough SO that
the skillet can rest on the stones
as it would over the burner Of
the stove.
Start cooking after the fire
has burned to embers. Fish pre-
pared this way is moist and ten
der. Be sure to salt generously.
Occasionally there may be fish
left over. In this case, try break
fast mush given me by veteran
camper. This should be made
over the campfire in the evening.
FOR THE CAMPERS BREAK.
FAST
l cup of cornmeal
3 cups of water
1-3 cup of shredded left over fish
l teaspoon of salt.
Add the cornmeal to the boil
ing sailed water and let cook over
the fire for 212 hours. The fire
should be rather low. Add the
fish and cook for 80 more minutes.
Pour into a creased baking powder
can and set in a cold place over
night.
In the morning the mush will
be firm and nodded into a round
cylinder. Slide the mush from
the baking powder can and slice
in rather thin slices. Cook golden
brown in hot salt pork or bacon
drippings. I have never tasted it,
but doesn't it sound satisfying on
a crisp cold morning? This guam
tity is sufficient for six hungry
campers.
Our last recine today is for the
skillet cooks. This can be pre-
pared over the open fire, but is
also delicious prepared over the
oil stove or campers gasoline
stove.
When prepared over the oil
stove, use a Dutch oven. This is
the very heavy covered pot used
for pot roaSts. 1t is a must on
your list of camping equipment.
HAM CAMP STYLE
Select ham about / inch thick
Mix l teaspoon of mustard with
2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook in
a heavy skillet or a Dutch oven.
Pour p cup of water and l table
spoon of vinegar over the ham
and cook slowly until tender.
Keep covered during cooking.
Next Thursday look for another
story on cooking, as done by men.

Beauty
Care of Teeth
Essential
BY HELEN FOLLETT

There's a saying that a clean
tooth never decays, but don't be-
lieve it. Cleanliness helps, but
sometimes a faulty diet makes
teeth unsound.
They thrive on calcium, so drink
your three glasses Of milk each day
or take calcium tablets. Some
dentists believe that orange juice
supplies teeth with vitality and
strength.
Don't skip the brushing at bed
time. Food deposits left until
morning will ferment and make
inroadS upon the health Of teeth
and gums. Rinse the mouth well.
That's important, too. It keeps
the membranes firm.
Oily skins can be corrected to a
certain extent by sun tanning.
BlackheadS and pimples disappear
if the cutaneouS coating is SUD-
mitted to the kisses of the sun.
But don't overdo it. When the
skin feels sensitive, use an oily
cosmetic, letting it remain on over
night. Bathing the face with but
termilk is an effective treatment.
Sebaceous glands are excited by
rich foods - gravies, sauces and
pastries. They lead a less streau-
Gus life If the diet includes plenty
Of vegetables, fruits and green sal
ads. Eat properly and the beauti.
tying overhead will be reduced.
When excessive perspiration can
not be corrected by means of the
daily bath and the use of deter
rent under the armpits, it is we'll
worth the expense and trouble to
see a physician. The trouble may
be due to nervous instability or
to some glandular disturbance.
Diet, too, has something to do
with this unpleasant condition.
Onions and garlic should not be
eaten, and the less pastry the bet
ter. Eat plenty of green salads,
fresh vegetables and fruits.
If you are going out into the
daylight, don't put on your make
up under an electric light. Take
your mirror to a window. There's
all the difference in the world be-
tween the effect in the daytime
and under artificial light.
Take a look at your profile If
you use rouge. The pattern that
is flattering when you face the
mirror may not be so good when
viewed from the side. One can't
be too careful when playing with
the complexion batik.
Choose stockings with care.
Some colors are flattering, some
are not. The matter is important
now that the hem line is lifted.
If legs are thin, select light
shades; if they are bulky, stick to
dark ones. Please, for The sake OF
good appearance, see that the
seams are straight at the back.

It seems that not long after he
was married he and his wife plan
ned a vacation in Canada. Their
lodge was nine miles from the
nearest store and they were anticl-
pating a pleasant week with much
serious fishing.
For the week Mr. Hoehler gal
lantly offered to be chef and prom.
iSed two things, an abundance OF
pan-fried fish and potato pancakes
such as he remembered them in
boyhood back in Pennsylvania.
When the supplies we're pur-
chased at the Canadian village, he
checked through to be sure that
the order for the potatoes had been
filled. Then the guide started
along the trail to their lodge.
FAVORITE DISH
When the time came for dinner,
our chef came to the kitchen with
one idea in mind-that of whip
ping together his favorite dish, po-
tato pancakes. But the potatoes
were no where in sight. Further
search disclosed nothing. No one
had seen them. When the guide
came in, he asked him as to their
whereabouts.
THE lady said I should leave
them at store answered the guide
brightly.
And the potatoes were left at
the store. But lady" did very
quickly explain it was done as a
protection against further expan-
sion of his waistline, not because
of any doubt as to the goodness Of
this dish.
So happy vacation began and
the fishing was enjoyed tremen-
dously.

The usual method of preparing
1t is in the heavy iron camp skillet.

CriSpy Salads

There is nothing more appeal
ing to summer tastes than the
crisp salads that are served as the
main dish of the meal with hot
breads. Well-seasoned sausages
cut into potato salad make
marvellous eating for hungry folks.
Almost any of the cold meats, in

cubes and add them in almost
