burns.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

A PART from the rest and change
and thrill of following the sun
south, the effect upon health. the
beneficial influence of a Southern
holiday is immeasurable. We all know
what a splendid source of energy SUM-
shine is. We all know its healing pow
ers, its effect upon growth, what a
splendid job it does Of muscle and
tissue repair work.
More than that, in warm climes
there's a natural inclination to ex-
ercise, We move more freely when
We are comfortably warm than when
we are chilled. The sweat glands be-
come more active. and perspiration
is natures purgative. It's fine for
the skin and the hair. except that one
should not permit it to remain too
long on skin or scalp.
We are also inclined to eat more
sensibly. Our diet, like our Summer
diet, eliminates excess starches, sweets,
heavy fried foods. It's natural for the
palate to prefer more fruits and
vegetables. incidentally. store up some
of the needed vitamins via citrus
fruits, why don't you? And speak
ing of fruits, we probably drink more
water and fruit juices. So that the
functioning Of the entire body is bet
ter balanced than under usual con-
ditions in typical Winter shut-in ex-
istence.
From a health point of view, then,
Southern holiday is ideal.
What about beauty? A sane amount
of exposure to the sun Is splendid
skin and hair beautifier. Statistics
show us that more and more skins
are getting dry. In Summer, though,
with the oil and perspiration glands
stimulated, there is more natural lu.
brication. That is precisely how the
skin acts in Southern climes. The
danger. however. lies in exposing the
skin or hair to the direct rays of the
sun or for too long period. Then
it works quite the opposite. Too much
sun proves too drying. Gradual ex-
posure makes for a gorgeous coat Of
tan. But an attempt to acquire that
tan in one sitting makes for an In
dian-red coat. painful burning, coarse
ness. Skin should be protected with
sunburn preventives. A fine oil should
be applied around the eyes, Smoked
glasses should be worn to keep eyes
from squirting at glaring sun. There
are protective preparations for hair,

they find themselves free and un-
trammeled in the wifes kitchen, IS
to count the glasses and the china,
to see how many have been broken.
To this little sport say, emphatically,
"lay off" There is blind spot in the
mentality of most men which keeps
them from marking the passing OF
years in the home with any degree
of accuracy. Because of this falling
and an uncanny memory in the wrong
places-a man cannot understand
why, out of the dozen cups donated
by Aunt Effie for a wedding present,
only eight still swing from the cup
hooks in the china closet. He does
not accept the fact that nine wine
glasses are all that remain to remind
him of dear, departed Tom Twigg,
with whom he roomed in college, and
"bache-d it" until the little woman
hove into view on the horizon. (ThiS
is a particularly sensitive subject, be-
cause the little woman always con-
sidered Tom Twigg degrading inf1u-
ence, and speedily weaned her hus-
band away from him and his kind.)
THERE is little use in pointing out
to the prowling male at this point
that, after all, 10 years have elapsed
since the wedding day and that glass
and china are not renowned for their
cast-iron qualities. He will counter
with the argument that that set of
blue dishes his mother still has, intact,
had been inherited by her from Great
Aunt Bessie, who in turn had in
herited them from somebody else.
And if you gently explain to him that
the set of blue dishes-Which you per-
sonally wouldn't give house room
had been kept under lock and key
except for weddings and funerals dur
ing its entire career, and that when it
was used his mother washed every bit
of it herself with towel folded in
the bottom of the dishpan then
he will just remark triumphantiy
that that is exactly the point he was
making-you should wash all your
dishes that way, too! (Of course, he
prudently ignores the lock and key
and special occasion sides of the ques-
tion)
I firmly believe in the rights Of
women in their own kitchens. It is
their own private domain and the men
should respect this ownership at all
times. 1t might even be good idea
to put up mo trespassing" signs and
lock the ice box doors for a while to
break a curious husband of the put
tering" habit. He should be taught
firmly that the arrangement of your
dishes and pots and pans is just as
purposefully done as is the filing of
his papers-and must be let alone. If
he persists in his Strengthening up Of
your belongings, take whirl at his
desk some day as his punishment.

And don't let the family forget it!

puree; make sure the puree and stock
are thoroughly mixed. Then chop up
some garlic very fine and sprinkle it
in. The garlic is the kingpin of the
seasonings, but don't forget salt, pep
per, paprika and teaspoonful of Wor-
cestershire sauce. Then cut couple
ounces each of boiled ham and boiled
tongue into fine strips-ditto for few
cooked muShroomS-and add all that
to the sauce. Your sauce is now spread
over the cooked spaghetti and, for
about IS minutes, the whole thing is
simmered, occasionally getting a good
mix. Put on generous quantity Of
butter just before you serve. Douse
it with grated Parmesan cheese or
grated SwlSs-and I guarantee the
results.
WHILE we're still in Italy, it would
w never do to forget veal In Italy
veal is not considered either dull or
lowly-a mistake made over here. The
Italians often use a fine white veal
as a substitute for chicken a Ia king
and / defy any amateur to spot the
difference. ION the other hand,
3-months-old child can spot the cold
pork which American restaurants
often try to palm of in chicken salad).
All of which is the build-up for an.
other speciality of mine, which Is
escalopin Of veal. Parmesan cheese
plays big part here, but If you can't
lay hands on any, grating Swiss cheese
close TO the rind will do almost as
we'll.
It's an Italian dish and it takes an

do. And this is probably the place
to say that these recipes Of mine are

ing myself on the kitchen range, till
it'll be pretty hard to go wrong on
them if you follow directions.
Keep your eye on the butcher while
he's cutting up the veal for this dish.
The pieces should be fat and thin
say inches on the square and no
thicker than a quarter inch. Dust the
pieces of veal all over with grated
cheese. put two good tablespoons OF
butter in a pan. and when hot pave
the pan with pieces of veal, about a
pounds worth. Turn them when
they're starting to brown on one side
and pour in about third of cup Of
Marsala Have a good hot platter

cooked on both sides. Reduce the
essence which remains in the pan o

of butter and pour it all over the pieces

The Secret
Of Winning
Popularity
Letter to Children
Gives Good
Advice.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

NEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: When
~ one of the girls in school was
asked on her birthday anniversary
"If you could have just one wish
granted you today. what would it be?"
she clasped her hands in prayer and
said: ITO have everybody love me-"
That is a fine wish, if it carries
full meaning with it. This time 1t
didn't, for what Emiline wanted was
to be popular. There is a great
difference between having the love OF
the friends who surround you and
being popular, but that is no reason
to make light of the wish to be pop
ular. 1t is the first sep on the road
to the universal love that all human
hearts desire. So We will be content to
have it so for the time youth spends
in growing.
Being popular means being liked,
being welcomed and sought after in
the immediate group. Some boys and
girls are born with gifts and graces
that win immediate response from the
world, but most boys and girls have
to earn their way. This is job that
takes some work, just like any other
job you find to do.
Popularity is job that requires
long hours, steady attention to detail
and a willingness to sacrifice ones
personal interests for those of others.
You won't be popular if you always
insist upon being heard first, having
the last and loudest word. You won't
be popular with the class If you strut
your stuff" The other members would
like to shine little, and they will
grudge your success less If you are
modest about it and if you show a
willingness to let them enjoy their
measure of success in turn. In short,
you won't be popular If you steal the
show. Share, wait for the invitation
of the group; do your best without
pushing yourself down their throats
and you have a chance to be liked.
Just a chance.
If you want to make it GER
tainty, make business of consider
ing others first. Go out to make
those around you feel that you like
them for themselves. If there Is a
shy boy or girl on the fringe of things.
make it your business to get close to
the shy one, draw him into the group
and lend him your friendly support
until he makes his own way. Honestly
like them and they will honestly like
you and stand by you through thick
and thin.
Liking people is the way to be loved
in return. Begin by acting as If you
liked them. Guard your tongue and
your gestures, even to the lift OF an
eyebrow. Let the wisecrack go by.
Nobody forgets laugh raised at his
expense. Rarely does it win friends
for the wisecracker. The bystanders
are afraid it may be their turn next
and they avoid the place of danger.
Do things that need to be done
even when they do not place you
in the light of publicity. Be secretive
about your service to others and they
will Loyalty reward 1t in terms OF
affection. Buy your way in kindness
and soon the kind way will be your
way, the friendly spirit, your spirit;
and without knowing it has happened
you will be popular. What's more.
you will be a trusted leader, a step
beyond popularity and toward that
thing known as good repute.
Cordially yours,
ANGELO PATRI.
