encies, they were smothered in \ cream

at all well A far cry indeed from
the tender baby carrots, fresh and
juicy, that may be eaten raw or cooked
whole with such flavorful results to-
day!
However, in spite Of all our fresh
spinach and broccoli and lima beans
and 80 on, the root vegetables have not
been Jared one bit from their place
in our diet. In fact, because they
do not necessarily have to be storage
products, and can come to us with
al their fresh, original crispness, they
have gained immeasurably in popular
ity. New recipes for preparing them
have sprung up everywhere, and with
the approval OF the medical profess
sion sitting benignly on their heads,
they offer US plenty Of value for our
money.
THE Bureau of Home Economics OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture has a few simple general
rules for preparing each Of these six
vegetables. You may vary the dress
ing-up" procedure to suit your taste,
but in any case the fundamental cook
ing must be properly done to obtain
the best results. The bureau says:
"All root vegetables are easy to keep

efficiency one firm has presented four
new items. The first of these Is an
entirely delightful sachet cologne that
Is four-purpose in its work.
Recently in this column we spoke
of . powder cologne and knew at the
time that the idea would spread
rapidly. Now comes a similar product
from another cosmetic house, done a
little differently but on the same
principle Of combining all the quail
ties Of pungent eau de cologne, in
yigorating body-rub, fragrant body
sachet and effective deodorant il one
bottle. This Is certainly a quick
worker. You can give yourself brisk
rundown after your bath, and feel
the lazy tissues acquire new vigor.
You can see the film of sweet body
sachet giving q velvety coating to the
skin. 1t may be used as a perfect
makeup finish for arms, back and
legs because the lustrous film remain
ing on the skin gives a petal-like
smoothness and covers small blemishes.
The deodorizing agent which is also
incorporated in this magic blend as
sures entire freedom from perspira-
tion odeur at all times.
\ \
NEXT on the beauty efficiency list
is an herbal eye bath with its
own eye-cup cap. How many women
practice daily eye bathing? And yet
it is most important to give little
attention to the eyes themselves as
well as to what goes on the outside
of the lids and on the lashes. 1t
only takes q few seconds for a sooth-
ing eye bath when you use this new
lotion with . non-breakable bakelite
cup as part of the stopper. Eye
fatigue Is quickly relieved by this
antiseptic compound, and eyes will
shine with . new sparkle that Is most
gratifying at the end Of . long, hectic
day.
Also for the eyes is new mascara
in smart red. waterproof bakelite
container that will not rust, and en-
tirely eliminates messiness. This box
is little miniature model Of efficiency
A convenient holder for the brush is
designed to permit draining, so that
the mascara itself remains dry and
clean, as does your purse if you like
to carry your mascara with you. The
waterproof, soapless mascara, already
famous, has still further improve
ments and longer lasting qualities. II

THERE Is not a day that I do not
get a dozen letters from boys
and girls asking me how they

4 can tell if that queer-gone
feeling they have, coupled with a
fluttering in the cardiac region, is love
or indigestion.
Well, of course, love is difficult
ailment to diagnose, and 50 it Is no
wonder that the inexperienced young
sters do not know whether they are
suffering from q fatal and incurable
heart disease. or have merely q slight
attack that will pass off with time and
change of scene. Many older and
wiser men and women have been
equally unable to tell what ais them
and so have made the mistake OF tax
ing the marriage cure for it, when the
remedy they really needed was bfcar-
Donate Of soda.
Unfortunately there IS no infaliible
indication Of love as there Is Of r. B.,
nor does a heart that has been pierced
by cupid's dart stick out as obviously
as a sore thumb, but there are, never
theless certain signs and tokens which
any youth and maiden can apply to
their emotions which will give them
q fair idea of what sort of temperature
they are running.

|Retinue
Hotel Expenses of
Attendants Part
OF the Wedding.
By EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: L II customary,
ever, to pay the travelling expenses
Of attendants? We wouldn't IKE TO
suggest sending train-fars 10 the
bridesmaids II 1t Is not the custom
because we certainly don't want 10
make any one feel like = paupeY. On
the other hand, we want to do tbs
right thing.
Answer: 1t Is considered the obliga-
tion Of the bridesmaids and ushers to
pay for their travelling expenses as
well as their own clothes. On the
other hand, it Is not unheard Of, In
case Of an especial bridesmaid-par-
ticularly relative who has very little
money-to have her clothes and
travelling expenses given her by the
brides mother. And there might also
be an occasion where one Of the
groom's attendants, who lives at .
great distance, has his ticket sent him
by the groom. But this would be very
unusual. In fact, it would be hard
to think Of a situation where such q
present would be accepted by an usher
OF even q DeSC UlaU-uLleSS q TelaIlVe.
In other words, you are not expected
to send carfare to any one-unless
circumstances are unusual and you
show great tact besides 1t is true
that at perhaps one wedding In
thousand the bride gives all her brides
maids their clothes. But this is the
case only when a very rich girl, who
has an unlimited wedding budget, does
not want to be hampered in choosing
her attendants clothes by keeping
them within the limited amounts that
can be afforded by her friends. On
the other hand, no attendants at no
matter how simple a wedding, are
ever expected to pay any Of their liv-
| ing expenses after they have arrived
| in the town where the wedding Is to
be held. If the bridesmaids or the
ushers are to stay at hotel, the roomJ
Of the former are engaged and paid
for by the brides family, and the
groom's family takes care Of the at
tendants Of the groom.

Problem of High Heels.

Unless young girls give up the prac-
tice Of wearing high-heeled shoes
America will develop q race Of women
with cowboy legs" according to the
prediction of an authority on ortho-
pedic footwear.
''The cowboy legs or bowlegs about
which We are speaking" he said, ARE
caused through wearing high-heeled
shoes at an immature age, thus causing
the outside leg muscles to stretch and
the back leg muscles to contract"

You Are in Love for Keeps If You
Have the Following Symptoms.

nations that two can live cheaper

cocktails when a boy takes her out.
co II she finds herself looking ut
