This small tidbit is really the
central muscle of a molluSk. The
shell of the scallop is quite large
and has been used extensively in
cookery-So extensively that it is
alleged it gave the name of
"scalloped" to many of our
creamed and baked dishes.
The edible portion of the scailop
is really rather small. The best
quality are of medium size of a
natural creamy color.
The peculiar flavor of the seal
lop makes them appealing to the
convalescent. The broth made
from them is nourishing. Wash
them, cut them in small pieces,
and make them just as you do
the oyster stew or clear clam
broth.
The scallop is also delicious
fried. For this purpose, rinse in
salt water, dry, and roll in flour.
The egg batter and crumbs is not
so good for this purpose.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

her from worrying over these

This made me suffer terribly, and
Il went on a terrible spree. !
called the girl up and told her 1

Later 1 met a divOrcee, and her
warm affection kept my mind ana

Spring Eye Shadow

TONE your eye shadow tC

advice of one of the better
beauty consultantS on the eyes.
Eye shadow should not only
harmonic with your eyes and
makeup but should tone IN
with your costume, too. Dis
Greet use during the daytime
is recommended. Green eye
shadow is suggested with the
bright flower prints with light
background. Mahogany is ad-
vised for the cinnamon and
reddish shades. and for black.
At night. they suggest that you
go absolutely dramatic. With
your white evening gowns, use
silver eye shadow, or silver
combined with pale green or
blue. With yellow use gold
eye shadow and combine it
with mahogany.

For Winter Health

WE ALL KNOW that, with the
w artificial heat most of us have
in our homes, the air is much too
dry; so much so that it is not
healthfuI. 1t is said to promote
colds, nose troubles, sinus troubles,
and so on. Most of us do not
know, however, that we can rem
edy the situation at comparatively
small cost; that we can buy hu-
midifierS that will really air-cOndi-
tiOn our homes. They will give
refreshing moisture to the air, and
not only make us more healthy,
but will preserve furniture, draper
les, rugs, books, and so on. This
space is much too small to go into
the matter for you, but if you will
just go downtown and see the hu-
midifiers for yourself, have them
explained, then you can judge for
yourself as to their efficiency.
They are gOOd-lOOking affairs and
are priced from $3.50 to SIPS.
Best of all, they require no costly
installation.

If she is called by both names,
as might be the case with this
Mary-Lou, then she may, for
obvious reasons, wish to keep both
names. And since these, with the

OCHIAPARELLI is undoubtedly

designers, and we can always de-
pend on her to do something diff
ferent. This year she has many
tricks to enliven street costumes.
and not the least of then1-prac-
tical, too-is the over-shoulder
handbag. These are merely nice,
flat bags with longer handles.
some of them called ''yardstick'
handles because they are so very
long; others short, just giving
enough room to slip the handles
up to your shoulder. It's con-
venient when you have bundles to
carry, and it's smart when you
are swinging along the avenue in
your new suit. There are many
types available in Washington, and
we selected a bag to sketch that
has shorter handles, as it is not
quite so extreme. 1t is in fine
calfskin, beautifully made, silk
lined and fitted. 1t comes in
black, navy or brown, and is
$3.50. The gathered effect is
very new this spring, too.

NEXT DANCE

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Recently at a small informal
dance, 1 was asked by a boy friend
for the next dance, which i had
already promised to a girl friend.
To be polite to my girl friend, I
refused.
Later in the evening, when she
had promised me a dance, she was
asked by a boy, and accepted, thus
ignoring me. I'm wondering If 1
did wrong in refusing the boy.
Did 1?
"What can a girl say when boy
fOrgetS and walks on the wrong
side of the pavement? Or shouldn't
she say anything?
''PUZZLED."
You were polite and gracious in
keeping your promise. The other
girl should have at least consulted
you before she accepted the asked
for dance.
It's better for her to let this pass
without comment.

Beauty
BY DONNA GRACE

"Dear Donna Grace: Will you
please print the method used to
Danish Jumps of excess weight
from the face? On each side of
my mouth are small vertical ridges
of flesh. Can the excess flesh be
reduced by squeezing and knead-
ing it? MRS. d. N"
Dear Mrs. D. NJ: The face can
be reduced by massage, but it
should be done by an expert. The
movements for reducing are the
firm ones across the neck directly
under the chin, and the profes-
sional strokes from the chin line
to the temples.
The back of the neck should be
manipulated also as it is the seat
of the great nerve centcrs, and
when there is need to stimulate
the circulation for reducing, the
muscles at the back of the neck
should be relaxed.
I will give you the correct move
ments with exercises that may be
used at home, but it would be ad-
visable to go to a good shop and
note the pressure they make on
certain muscles. There are num-
ber of important glands directly
under the chin at the neck line
that should not be squeezed, but
there are movements and very
firm ones, too, that are not injur-
ious when done by an expert. You
will understand the movements,
and after a few treatments know
what pressure to use.
There are, however, some lax
conditions of the flesh, especially
after middle.age, that may not
respond at once to these manipula-
tionS. Those tissues need a more
prolonged treo otment.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Is it permissible in the chriSten-
ing of a baby girl where the
father and mother are divorced,
to have two gOdfathers and two
gOdmOtherS? READER"
In some denominations, the
number of godparents is specified
by definite rule. In other denomi-
nations a boy has two godfathers
and one godmother, and girl two
godmothers and one godfather;
and in some, there is but one OF
each.
The thing to do about your ques.
tion is for the mother of the child
to consult with the minister who
is to perform the christening cere,
mony and ascertain the regula,
tions of that church.

The A. w. Mellon educational and char

The average American citizen has heard
a great deal about the heavy burden taxation
imposes upon the very rich. Mr.. Mellon him
self was one of those who complained the
loudest about the alleged injustice of the
principle of taxation on the basis of ability

But now it appears that Mr.. Melons vast

QUESTION: What makes mullins
stick to the pan?

causes for mullins sticking to the

Another Vast Fortune Slides
By the Tax Laws

Press reports as to the size of the estate
of the late Andrew w. Mellon, former secre-
tary Of the treasury and multi-millionaire
aluminium, coal, oil, utilities, and banking
magnate, vary widely, but all carry the in
formation that when Mellon died he had
made vast transfers Of his wealth that will
make it difficult for federal and state inheri-
lance tax collectors to realize any very con-
siderable sums for the public treasury.
For the past few days the newspapers Of
the nation that bowed humbly to the power
of Mellon during his lifetime have been edi-
t~orially e~xtolling his greatness as a f~inancier
and industrialist, his philanthropies, his in
terest in art and the sciences.
But in none of the long columns of editor
ial laudation was it mentioned that from the
point of view of the government, these big
Mellon transfers of funds serve ELS a means of
avoiding the payment Of taxes.
According to the New York Times, H. M.
Johnson, Melons secretary, in 1881 esti-
mated that Mr.. Melons personal fortune was
estimated at 205 million dollars. Two years
ago, says the Times, testimony at a tax hear
ing brought out the fact that the market
value Of Melons holdings was about 234
millions.
About 1881, the Times also reports, Mellon
put SO million dollars into a personal holding
company owned by his two children and sub
