Valentine Day Invites Hearty Menus
Guests Love InfOrmality
 Best of All
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
 NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer
 Cupid, you may have noticed, il never thin. His affectiotlate little ribs are well padded and his bene- volent smile bespeaks plenty to eat, So on his feast day, Valentine, take | a hint from this young god of the I loving heart and serve Q buffet sup per with more to 1t than romantic hopes.
 After bridge or dancing or games, summon your guests to the feast of St. Valentine. Use large table, card tables fastened together, or your buffet. Remember, the most intense love is always informal, so must your Valentine buffet be. Serve at least one hot dish, such as a clear chicken bouillon in cups, or if you are willing to spread . bit, try creamed chicken with Ma deira, prepared before the admiring eyes of your guests in your electric chafing dish.
 Have crisp hot toast ready for the chicken. Then should follow an ap- propriate salad made in heart- shaped mold, pink with the spirit of the day. Try this.
 Tomato and Cream Cheese Salad
 GA servings)
 Two packages salad gelatin (aspic), 2 cups boiling water. ? cups thick tomato puree, tablespoon finely minced onion, tablespoon finely chopped parsley, l package cream cheese, 1-2 cup cream, whip ped.
 Dissolve the salad gelatin in boil- ing water. Add tomato puree. Pour half of this tomato-gelatin mixture into a heart-shaped mold which has been dipped first in cold water. Chill until firm. To the other half, add onion and parsley and chill until 1t begins to thicken.
 Mash cream cheese with the whipped cream and add to the thiekened gelatin, stirring in un- til thoroughly mixed. Pour into mold on top of plain tomato gel atin and chill until firm. This salad, served with minced chicken sand wiches and coffee, would constitute an adequate tidbit for Dan Cupid.
 Frosting seems to belong in the list of important things for the Valentine supper party. And wicked little golden arrows certainly have the right idea.
 For a quick and accident proof white frosting for your favorite cake, use tablespoons butter, 1-4 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1-2 cups confectioner's sugar and 1-2 teaspoon vanilla.

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UPJ-Smart Parisians are buying little these days but ski clothes or cruise clothes. Everyone is waiting for the February show ings of new spring clothes before supplementing winter wardroDes. The mid-season hints as to what .caf, be expected in the new collec- tions. Briefi.-, all couturiers point to shorter and fuller skirts, slender waists with emphasis on the Ilor- mai waistline, slightly elevated shoulders and smaller hats worn on the top of the head.
 It looks as though lots of pa- jamas will be worn--not only on the beach but for evening as well. Pajamas are being ordered right and left for ski and cruise wear. They are worn with crepe blouses, eomtimes backless and also without sleeves, and with brightly colored wool jackets that are brilliantly ef1n. broidered. M
 For southern wear, the pajanas are shown in printed and striped linens as vel, as in silks. Sometimes the trousers are tailored with slim legs while others are like full and fiaring divided skirts. Tie latter give the appearance of regular dress skirt that has been cut on the bias tn give a circular flare These, too, are worn with dressy little jackets, of the bolero type, that are in bright color contrast to the pAjamas themselves.

Vaccination Has Robbed Smallpox,
 Once Dread Disease, Of Its Terrors

cinate child when he is about 6 months old, then to vaccinate him again just before he enters school.
 After that, vaccination is neces- sary only when there is danger of an epidemic or of exposure to small pox, of whenever a person plans to travel in the tropics or in China, where the danger of smallpox is greater than in America.
 Every person exposed directly or indirectly to smallpox should be im- mediately vaccinated, and then vac- mated again if 1t fails to take"
 In the old days, vaccination was a serious matter. Improvement in method and the materials used, how ever, has made it possible to vac- cinate with a small blister that heals rapidly and is not likely to cause any symptom worse than a slight itching.
 It is important to keep the spot that has been vaccinated dry, cool, and clean. Unnecessary use of the arm should be avoided. The crust which forms on the vaccination should not be scraped of or rub bed with ointments. It Is not well to cover the vaccination with a shield or pad of any sort. since this would cause precipitation and macerate the skin under the crust. Most doctors merely see that the crust covering the vaccination Is protected with 8 little gauge.

to a drama as she wishes it might have been.
 The small girl with freckles and skimpy braids enters into the role of the golden-haired princess who sat in a tower on a glass hill wait ing for knight to rescue her, when the small girl reads the fairy-tale. She catches 8 checked breath when the knight with the crim- son plume rides up the hill on his coal black steed. Her plain little face is sweet and wistful as she wishes that she might live. just for g day, between the covers of story-book instead of a neighborhood where the boys wear stocking caps and throw snow balls.
 Women Cling to Memories
 Yet, if the little girl were grant, ed her wish, and stepped through Lewis Carroll'S looking glass, she would not be at ease with the knight. She would gratefully welcome good game of hide-and-go-seek with the boys who live next door or around the corner.

It needs no cooking. Simply cream butter, add condensed milk and continue to cream thorough ly. Slowly add the confectioner's sugar, sifted, and beat the frost ing. Add the vanilla, and eat again until creamy and light in color. Maybe this is the stun of Loves young dream.
 For tiny golden arrows, use 1 IA cup sifted confectioner's su- gar, IA cup sweetened condensed milk, 1-2 teaspoon lemon or orange flavoring, and enough yellow color ing matter to tint the arrows an impressive gold.
 Blend the sugar gradually in- to the condensed milk, using a fork. Add flavoring and coloring matter, and continue to mix un- til smooth and creamy. Roll and pat into a sheet IA inch thick.
 Make an arrow head of stiff paper and use this as pattern to cut arrow heads from the candy with a small sharp knife. Chill in refrigerator. Makes about 24 of those sweet little tributes to the power of Cupid.

 Are certain waste matters elimi- mated through the pores of the skin by means of precipitation? GA. o. Ro
 Answer-Yes, traces of urea, uric acid and other waste matters are eliminated in the sweat, but prac- tically sweat is salt and water and the skin is not an excretory organ. The mouths or openings of the ducts of the sweat and oil glands of the skin are not pores, for they never absorb anything. You can't reverse the flow of fiuid through the sweat or oil glands.

It is small wonder that the lite tie girl, with her impulse not grati- fied-and therefore Cured-growS up, associating names of glorifled lovers with the romance she feels she missed. She wishes that she might have been the type of girl, who could have lived in a drama, where the kind of men she adores would have been plentiful.
 Women are practical, though. And brave. They make the most of what they have. In similar manner, their husbands do the same thing. They, too, forget the woman, at their side as the motion picture drama un- folds, yielding to the graces of a lovely creature on the screen.
 There is one difference between the majority of men and women, though. Men will forget Q worin- ans fragile loveliness when the play is over. Women will remem- Der a mans lean, 1.-the strength.
 Men never struggle to capture woman's necklace for romance's sake. The ladies rejoice in a strangle hold on a necktie.

ing bluntly to our Latin pro1eSsor, "Who was Cicero?"
 We had been studying "Cicero" for 8 month or two and limping through his orations, but no one had thought to tell us who the gentleman was, or why he car ried a chronic grouch. That was the old way of teaching. It is dif- ferent now. Butr think it illustrates the many dark corners in many Q younger child'S mind about the things he is doing.
 Unexplained Facts Puzzle
 And it explains his passion for asking Why, dozen times a day.
 Before giving John instruction in anything, manners, morals, or more concrete things, it is 8 good idea to give him big picture. Then he will see the light at both ends of the tunnel, instead of fumbling along in the dark.
 We don't like to go in at the middle of movie, or pick up a story after missing the first in- stallment. We get exasperated trying to piece it together. This accounts for many of the child's "why's". He hasn't been let in at the beginning of the plot. The child is under orders-al- ways. Sometimes merely routine again in every single detail of his entire day.
 Some children are brought up with the idea O. unquestioning obe- ! dience. This goes two ways. Either , the child develops chronic leth- argy toward life, CT he gets distrust- full of 1t, and resentful, too. If it has been explained to John "why" he must do his share of the work, he will brood less and step about with a more elastic i stride. Once he gets the big idea of necessity and how each one of the family must put his shoulder to the wheel, in order to live and be comfortable, then he goes about with his mental and emotional eyes open. He won't feel so injured.
 Understanding Begets Obedience Or if John Cor Mary) IS enlight- ened as to why he cannot spend too much on movies, or sodas, be- cause the family must sacrifice some pleasure for the time being, he won't sulk if he thinks he is being helpful. 4 fathers pride may keep him from revealing the state of his finances, and prompt him to tshout You can't 90 because I say so." But if we expect to raise reasonable children, we must be reasonable ourselves and mak many a con- fession. Adults want to know the why of things. They won't move without reason.
 But after all, youn gpeople and children are not priyateS in an army or puppets in a show. They want to move on their own and houw much of the time "why' they are doing things, or not do- ing them.
 A child given reason is ten times as likely to be obedient, whether he approves that reason, or not.

 The orchestra was playing softly when the handsome hero came. He began his walk between lines of members of the official hostesses committee. Woman surged against that line, but it didn't give until the motion picture act or was half way to the platform. Then the ladies broke through and began to plant their lipstick kisses on his face. He ran to the platform, and when he left the stage police es- corted him. Even at that, an ag- gressive admirer ripped of his neck tie and parceled the pieces among her friends.

There is a multitude of other women who thrill vicariously to 8 stage endear- ment because 1t satisfies their TO- mantle wishing. It does not mean that the wisher does not love her husband devotedly.

 SPRING
 The spring crop of beauty prepa- rations already has started to blos- som. So you can go ahead and get items to make your pre-Easter rou. tines more eficaciols as well as pleasant to do.
 A special anti wrinkle cream is to be used on throat and around eyes and left on all night It is as light as your favorite cleansing cream. Women who have used 1t for only a month (but every night. of course) claim that the fine lines around their eyes are less obvious. Anyone past 30 ought to put some kind of rich cream on her throat, and this seems to be an ideal type.
 Sportswomen, sun bathers and girls with lips that chap easily like a new salve in an attractive pink jar which is small enough to carry in her purse. Apply 1t at night be- fore you go to bed or, if your lips are severely chapped. put it on be- fore lipstick during the daytime.
 A fragrant cream soap is just the thing for skins which are too dry or too tender to stand plain soap and water. Containing oil of sweet almonds, olive oil and several other non-irritating ingredients, this IS soluable in water and simple to use. Moisten hand and face. rub small amount of cream soap over them then rinse oil with cool water. Since 1t quickly removes ofiice dust and carbon paper stains, yet it leaves the hands soft and smooth, it is an ideal preparation for the business woman to keep in her desk
 There's a new anti-perspifant cream which fastidious women seem to like very much. Of vanishing cream consistency, this goes on cas- fly, is absorbed almost immediately and absolutely checks precipitation. Smooth 1t under arms before you go to bed. It can be applied in the morning because it isn't injurious to clothing, but, for best results, use 1t at night. It doesn't seem to irritate the tenderest skin.

 Of all the infectious diseases which attack man, those spread through discharges from the mouth and nose are most prevalent. The list includes not only such wide spread diseases at tuberculosis and smallpox, but also the common cold, pneumonia, influenza, and many of the contagious diseases of child hood.
 There was time when the un- usual person in any community was the one without smallpox scars on his face. Today it is rare indeed to see in any civilized region a person with these scars. He that is SO dis figured is living monument to his own ignorance or his parents stupi- dity.
 Smallpox is preventable. In fact, vaccination against smallpox was the first specific method of prevep- ton discovered.
 When Edward Jenner established its usefulness by his experiments in England in 1796, he took the first step towards specific inoculation against disease, a step that has led to all the specific methods of pre- yention already mentioned in this series.
 Before use of vaccination, about five people of every 100 escaped smallpox, and about 25 per cent of these victims died. During the last 10 years less than 100000 cases have been reported in the United States, which means that only one of every 200 persons had the disease during that time.
 In the United States. however, there is more smallpox than in any other civilized country in the world, except in British India. Most other civilized countries have made vac- cination so compulsory they have been able to prevent smallpox in e way not possible in America.
 In vaccination against smallpox, q person receives an injection of vaccine virus which sets up in him a localized infection of a much less serious type that causes his body to develop resistance against snall- pox.
 The resistance may wear of after . number of years so that it is wise p9 him to be vaccinated again after . reasonable interval of time. Vac- cinations may protect for as long as % years.
 lt is customery nows iNys to vac-
