Scrambled COOKING. .

~ somewhat to the eastward, in a
picturesque city which saddles the
international boundary, I found a
unique condition.
The best American food available
is across the Mexican line at a
restaurant owned by a Greek gen.
tleman with a Chinese cook in the
kitchen. But the best Mexican cook

can side by German woman
whose husband is an Italian.
So our own native-born citizens,
when hungry for the typical dishes
of New England or Dixie, journey
beyond the border patrols, passing
on their way many of their Span
ish-speaking neighbors bound four
miles northward for a bit of su-
perior tamales and the more in
fiammatory brands of chilli.

Queen Victoria started her reign
in 1887. That was a good many
years before the Civil War, and
though we got the habit many
years ago of soothing at anything
Victorian" I don't believe we
ever thought of the things that
our grandparents had in their
homes around the time of the
war. as anything but lovely and
gracious. So you see it is really
a matter of prejudice, much OF it.
First Is Best
It's true that the best Of the
Victorian furnishings were the
earliest things, the first 80 years
or so of them. They were strong
ly influenced by the golden age
which had gone not far before,
the Eighteenth Century. There
is a strong trace of classic influ-
ence in them, and touches OF
Louis XIV, Louis XVI, English Re
gency and Federal American, all
of which went just before, in the
language of the decorators. 1t is
to this early period that the oval
chairs belong, the not-too-elabor-
ate tables, the simpler window
draperies, fine but restrained
carvings on chair backs, and some
of the other things that we treas
ure in these later days.
Taste Runs Wild
The reign of Victoria was a
time of great industrial expansion
all over the world, and as people
had more and more money to
spend, they became more foolish
with it, developing what we now
consider very bad taste. Furni-
ture became much more elabor-
ate, and it was nothing to the
wallpapers, the carpets, the drippy
draperies and the festooned lam.
brequins that hung from mantels,
And so the very word Victorian
became a term used for bad
taste.

Beauty
Diet Will Help
Clear Skin
By HELEN FOLLETT


To correct enlarged pores, use
cold water freely. It causes a
contraction of the tiny fibers
under the skin. It starts blood
streams on a gallop and has
beneficial effects in other ways.
Don't forget that diet plays a
large part in the treatment Of
the skin.
Beautifying foods are vege-
tables, fruits and green salads;
however, one must include meat,
fish and cereals to have a
balanced diet.
Heavy, oily powders must be
avoided if the skin is of coarse
texture; rouge should be used
sparingly. Not that rouge has a
bad effect upon the texture Of
the epidermal coat, but it shows
up too plainly when pores are
large.
The white of an egg has
astringent virtues. Beat slightly,
spread it on a clean skin surface
and let it remain until the face
feels starched and drawn. Re-
move with tepid water and tap
on light cream.

I doubt if a woman walks the
earth who, at some time or other,
hasn't thought she could act
even out-act the greatest TRACE
dams and comedians who have
made stage history.
ACTING WREAKS HAVOC
Acting-and heaven forgive me
for telling the truth about us!-
is just like an extenuation OF our
gifts which have wrought such
havoc. But why continue to NOR
alize, when a young mans letter
puts the whole thing in a nut
shell?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"She's very, very pretty-the
girl want to marry-Or ! wouldn't
be pounding out this letter to you
on the typewriter. Wen call her
Iris, because her name is Old-faSh-
toned, substantial and suggests
things which she is not.
"She got the leading part in a
highly successful play put on by a
drama guild, which numbers sew
eral professions. That turned my
Iady'S head backward, and made
her think that she'd rather see her
name in the bright lights over a
theater than to marry me.

she has absolutely no dramatic
talent, and was given parts in this
drama group merely because she's

murder several members of the
cast who, I heard, make fun of
her, call her a stick and say that
she speaks in q high-falutin'

denying her good looks.
''NOw, Miss Fairfax, to make a
long story short, she has given
me the gate and will not marry me
for at least two years, while she
goes in search of q career.
"The only career this girl is
likely to have is that some man
will make love to her and, in re.
turn for favOrs, offer her all kinds
of inducements in the way of
stage success, which she will be
unable to fulfill.
FEARS FOR GIRL
'T'm not just ordinarily jealous,
am full Of fears for this girl who
is dear to me, and who has set
her heart.
"AIready she complains to me
about the cattishness and Jealousy

and that she walks on and Off

if there were anything ahead that
she could achieve by talent and
hard work. But there isn't any
thing really but what is known as
the fatal gift and a certain
amount of vanity.
