Beauty Counsel
BY DONNA GRACE

Every girl puts on her makeup
before she dresses, but when one
is putting on the quick "pick-me-
up face" before going out to a
cocktail party or even for the
street, some of us seem to feel it
may take too much time to re-
move the gown before we renew
and refresh the old makeup.
This is a serious mistake and
there is really no time saved, as
the makeup will not be a good
one. It takes ony a few moments
to remove and put on a dress, and
then one may cleanse the face
thoroughly without trying to pro-
tect the collars and sleeves from
cream and powder, and when it
is finished there is a comfortable
satisfaction of knowing we are
Immediately clean and the make
UP is on as it should be. 1t is
really not possible to do it cor
rectly in any other way.
WASH FACE
We know the hands become
soiled frequently during the day.
and you may be sure the face, too,
with it's soft powder and moist
skin will attract the dust, so either
wash or cleanse the face with
cream before ever thinking Of put
ting on one makeup over another.
It will never be clean and smooth
as we like to have it.
When changing the makeup 1t
is always advisable to examine
your gown, shoes, stockings and
all your garments, and be sure
that everything is fresh and in
good order. Never put on a
dress or any underwear that has
the least suggestion Of perspira
ton on it.
There is never any excuse fol

SYMPATHY CALL
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"The mother of one of my
neighbOrs died a few days ago

the funeral. Now a few days have

what should take with me?"
49,"
People react so differently in
their wish to see people after a
bereavement that we should stay
our steps before their threshold
until we take some means of
finding out what their wishes are.
Some people like to be alone;
others find comfort and solace
in seeing their close friends.
So, even if this neighbor of
yours Is a very close friend of
yours, I suggest that you write
her a little note (this is better
than telephoning, under the cir
cumStances), tell her again of
your sympathy and understand
ing, and ask her if she would
like to have you come to see her.
Assure her too that you would
like to be of service to her in
any way you can. Then tell her
that although you would like to
come to see her, you will
thoroughly understand if she
wishes to postpone your visit
until a time more agreeable to
her. And with your note you
might send her some flowers.

II IS cooked properly
Veal has a low fat content, so
in order to roast it successfully
additional fat must be added dur
ing the cookery. 1t is also apt to
be tough unless it is well cooked.
The ideal method of cooking is
in a covered self-basting rooster.
This provides the needed moisture
and keeps the meat from becom-
ing dry and losing flavor.
In cooking the leg Of veal strips
Of salt pork can be laid across the
top to supply the fat that the
meat lacks.
I find that frequent basting Is
also good. For the leg Of lamb,
melt " cup of butter in the
rooster on top of the stove. Add

browning so that the veal is GOV.
cred with the fat. Add water dur
ing this cooking. Set the oven for
$50 degrees. Add chopped carrots
and onions. and additional water
If needed.
Bake in the oven for about 2
hours or allow about 80 minutes
per pound for cooking. Basic
frequently.
Make your pan gravy by adding
4 tablespoons of flour to about
tablespoons of the fat. Blend well.
Add 2 cups of water and salt and

Some good cooks like to scar

this, set the oven temperature for
500 degrees. Scar for IL minutes

The roast of veal kosher style

Dear Miss Fairfax:

State give them the necessary
funds on which to live, till 1 read
about it in your column.

ever, that no perfect husband OF

Marriage is a lottery, and Il

LOSES MAN
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"I'm a widow and still in my
twentieS, and about a year ago
met a man with whom I kept
STEADY" company for several
months. We even made plans for
the future.
"He left me one evening saying
he would see me next day, but he
failed to come, or did give me
any reason for his actions. Since
then I've seen him twice, but he
seems to avoid me. danced with
him once at a party but he gave
no explanation.
81 was on the verge of a nervous
breakdown from OverwOrk when
we broke up, and sometimes was
cross and unreasonable because he
broke dates with me. I am very
unhappy and discouraged, and l
have to smile when i could
scream. YOUNG WIDOW"
When a man leaves his girl with
out a word of explanation, the
only thing she can do is to fall
back on her pride, and at least go
through the motions of being in
different.
Sometimes the doormat type Of
woman does succeed in bringing
back a reluctant lover-but she is
apt to remain a doormat in the
home.
It's more than likely, if you show
this gentleman that his desertion
has not crushed you utterly. he will
come back. Very often they do.
