Manners
of the
Moment

WE CAN'T get used to running into
gentleman friends who have
grown musta ches in between meetings
It's most upsetting All of a sudden
some one steps up to us and calls us
by our first name, and We find our
selves face to face with hirsute gen.
tleman who looks vaguely familiar
Sometimes We simply can't place him,
and then 1t turns out he was, without
his mustache, one of our very best
friends.
It's shock, but girl has to get
used to it. After all, men do grow
up, and some of them do grow mus
taches. One man we know even grew
a beard, which made things terribly
confusing. 1t took us two hours to
figure him out.
We always have suppressed desire
to cover the growth of mustache with
our hand and then stand at arms
length to see if we can catch resem-
blance to anything we used to know.
The men, however, don't always take
kindly to this treatment.
Probably the best thing to do is to
let things ride. And perhaps, If things
get out of control, we could just speak
up and say. by the way, would you
mind telling me who you were before
you had a mustache?" A man loves
to think he has changed his appear
ance by the new growth. That's usual
ly what he was aiming at. JEAN.

Child Copies
Manners of
Parents
Necessary to Set
Good Example a
At All Times.
By ANGELO FATRI.

CHILDREN would not shock us with
bad manners at times when they
embarrass us the most If they were
reared among people who had good
manners and used them as matter OF
custom and habit Children copy the
manners of those they live with, those
they see oftenest. The everyday speech,
manners, habits Of the family, more
particularly the adult family, are
adopted and practiced by the children.
And they stick for life. The manners
adopted in later years are a veneer
certain to crack under the strain OF
the unusual. In times Of emergency
the Oldest habit is the strongest and
comes out first. II it is a good habit,
so much the better, but if it is a bad
one, so much the worse. 1t comes to
the front and has its way in spite of
all the years that have intervened,
You cannot rear a child in an atmos-
phere of rudeness. crudity. general
coarseness and expect to have him
courteous and gentle and well-bred.
1t Is just as easy to say, Would
you like to sit in that chair and let me
use this one so I can have the light
on this bit of work." than to pull a
child out of chair and say. Get out
Of here. Can't you see want to get
this work done?"
1t Is not too difficult to speak IN
tones well within the capacity of the
room instead of shouting at the top
of ones voice to, stop that internal
noise and get to somewhere else in a
hurry 80 person can hear his own
ears once in while"
Nor is it too much to ask that a
child's belongings be given the respect
due to the personality Of the child.
Suppose he did leave his coat on q
chair in the living-room. Didn't you
leave yours on the first chair you met?
What good will it do to throw the
child's coat across the room and bel
low, ''The next time find your things
about the house they're going out Of
the window"
II you enter room without .
glance toward any one in it, take the
easy chair, bury yourself in book and
grunt at any one who ventures to ad-
dress you, why be surprised when
junior takes the best chair, puts his
feet over the arms Of it and buries his
nose In your favorite newspaper? The
old cock crows and the young one fol-
lows.
There Is only one way to have good
hammered children and that Is the
hard way, for some people. Of being
good-mannered themselves. There is
only one way Of training children to
be considerate Of others and that Is
to show that same consideration to
them. The speech, manners, behavior
and tone OF, family are established
by the example. the teaching and the
continual supervision of the elders.
Children are not to be blamed for bad
manners and careless speech and in
considerate ways These offenses must
be credited to the heads Of the house.
hold.
Company manners are mockery.
They deceive nobody. The childrO
laugh at them, mock them. know them
for what they are, the shams OF sur
face propriety. Sincerity, kindness.
loving service are the basis for all good
uaanners. They must be lived In order

Novel Gift Preserves
Christmas Traditions

To the woman who Is not deft at
any of the handicrafts 1t Is often
problem to know how to put some
thing of herself into her Christmas
gifts. If she is at all sensitive she
feels that the ready-bought gift lacks
the warmth of personality which
token of affection should have, and
yet her lack of skill in needlework and
other arts makes her wholly depend
ent upon the purchased present.
One woman who has this problem
has solved 1t so delightfully."- for this
year that she has passed on her idea
to others in like predicament. Each
one of her housekeeping friends will
receive prettily packaged assortment
Of some Of the more unusual spices.
This is the purchased part of the gift.
Supplementing this, she is making for
each Of these same friends q little
cook book containing her own choicest
recipes for using the purchased sea-
soners. She Is dressing up the book
with bright pictures cut from old
magazines, and the recipes are being
written in her own neat hand.
The spices she Is including in her
gift assortment are curry powder,
chill powder, mixed dried herbs sewed
into small cheesecloth bags on her
own sewing machine, caraway seed,
poppy seed, celery salt, tall cinnamon
sticks Ito be used as muddlers in the

perfect in appearance. flavor. and,
above all, texture. Here is what the
bureau has to say about it:
Candies vary considerably in tex
ture, First there is the kind that has
a definite crystalline formation. Then
there is the non-crystalline kind.
Candies in this latter group are the
chevy or brittle ones.
Besides these two main kinds there
are a number of candies in neither
group. Egg whites in divinity and
gelatin in marshmallows give these
candies a special texture. Other can
dies in this miscellaneous group are
popcorn balls, candied nuts and can
died fruit.
-EONDANT and fudge are typical
= crystalline candies Make them
correctly, and you don't even know
they have crystals. The candy is
creamy and smooth, and the crystals
so tiny you can neither see them nor
feel them on your tongue. To get
, this fine texture you must regulate
crystallization of the sugar.
Ordinary sugar, sucrose, tends to
form large crystals. Ingredients such
as butter. cream. chocolate or milk
interfere with the formation of large
crystals and make the candy smooth.
Some candy recipes call for acids
euch as cream of tartar, lemon juice
or vinegar. These change part of the
sucrose to invert sugar. Invert sugar
does not crystalline readily and helps
bring about the formation of smaller
crystals In the candy.
"Invert sugar is present in honey,
brown sugar, molasses and corn sirup
These ingredients in mixture serve
the same purpose as the addition of
acid. The proportion Of invert sugar
must not become 50 great that it re-
tards crystalliz2tion completely. Then
candy is a waxy, sticky mass.
Stir the ingredients In crystalline
candies until they are all dissolved
During the cooking 1t Is better not to
stir the mixture at all In fondant,
the crystals that form around the
edge Of the pan should be removed
with a damp cloth. If they fall into
the mixture each one forms a nu-
eleus for the formation of crystals
when the sirup cools.
LAS the candy mixture cooks, the
amount of liquid gradually lessons. and
the sugar becomes more concentrated.
For all kinds of candy there is
definite concentration point when the
mixture should be removed from the
stove. If candy becomes too concen-
trated it will get very hard And
If candy doesn't reach the proper con-
centration point it will be runny.
THE surest way to test concentra-
ton is to use candy thermome-
ter. As the sugar becomes more con-
centrated the temperature rises. Ger
tain temperatures represent definite
degrees of concentration, but these
temperatures vary with altitude. Rec
ipes usually give temperatures for
sea level.
"A simple method for correcting the
candy temperature for altitude is to
take the temperature of boiling water
in the locality and add to this tenn
perature the number of degrees above
212 degrees F. specified in the recipe.
For instance, If the water boils at 208
degrees F. and the recipe calls for a

avalanche of individual items have
been brought to our attention recently,
that it is quite impossible to do more
than select few, almost at random,
because we can hardly say only these
few are best
Just the other day.it was, that we
were introduced to new series Of bath
preparations by house famous for
these accessories. There are four
odeurs, each presented in soap, eau de
cologne and busting powder in both
small and large sizes. The four odeurs
are packed in candy striped boxes in
pastel colors. making exceptionally
attractive gifts that will appeal to
every woman or girl. Rose geranium
is a luscious rose pink and luscious
fragrance The eau de cologne is
tinted like rose petals to match the
stripes on the powder box. From the
same house comes some fascinating
kits that should be investigated.
WE SAID to give powder. Perhaps
you would hesitate as to the ex-
act shade to give. Even that is made
easy for you in a guest powder box
that contains seven small round plastic
boxes of different shades of powder
set on a disc base with box full Of
vari-colored individual cotton pads
in the center. This makes welcome
gift for the hostess, and is not expen-
sive either.
In the luxury class is an ensemble
at s25 that is really lovely 1t is an
irridescent, deep pink box. attrac-
lively outlined and lettered in gold
and lined with palest blue suede,
with a convenient drop-leaf front.
1t contains a bottle of well-known

temperature of 238 degrees F., the
temperature to use would be 234 de-
grees F.
Another way to set the concentra-
ton of sirup or whether the candy is
done is to put some of the sirup in
cold water. Then you can Judge by
feeling whether it has reached the
soft ball. hard BALI or the sitter
stages called for in the recipe. There
is more chance of error by this
method. Both temperature OF the
water and your experience in candy
testing will affect its accuracy.
When crystalline candy, such as
fudge, caches the concentration point
called for in a recipe remove it from
the fire and cool. When it cools to
about lukewarm, beat it until the whole
mixture has crystallized. The CRYSTALS
will be large If you beat it while it's
hot.
I'm non-crystalline candies. such as
butterscatch. caramels and taffy large
amounts of corn sirup or molasses
are used in the mixture. These and
proper handling prevent any crystals
forming, You may stir these candies
during cooking to keep the milk from
scorching. But when the candy stops
boiling. handle 1t as little as possible.
Most candy failures come from q
lack of understanding of the nature
of the various forms Of sugar. Once
you understand those you can cook
and handle your candy accordingly.
But here are few other precautions
you must take. Pick a dependable
recipe and don't try to change it.
The temperatures have been worked
out for the ingredients in that recipe
Get your materials ready ahead
of time, Have a pan big enough to
allow for boiling and thick enough
not to scorch such ingredients as milk
and chocolate. Obey all these rules
and you can make topnotch candy"
