This is the season for re-
frigerator cooking. BY plan
ming ahead, it is possible to
serve delicious meals with
very little time spent in the
kitchen just before the meal.
Jellied meat and veal Ioaves are
delicious as the main dish for the
evening meal. Cool jellied salads
made with a filling of cucumber
are bound to please. This menu
is my suggestion:
DINNER
Cold Sliced Ham
Garnish of Sliced Orange
with a Topping of Relish
Jellied Vegetable Salad
Heated Rolls Butter
Peach Preserves
Cherry Pie Coffee
Many types of vegetables can
be combined in the salad. Carrots,
cucumbers, and chopped green
pepper are used in this recipe.
However, chopped celery, new peas,
and sliced radishes may be used.

Beauty
Sun Tan and
Makeup j..
By DONNA GRACE

White will always be popular
for summer, and with 1t we may
wear any shade Of makeup that
harmonizes with the eyes and
hair. This year, however, summer
attire promises riot Of brilliant
coloring-the peasant shades, a.
Orry-Kelly, Warner Brothers fam.
Gus designer, calls them. 81 rs.!:
We may be wearing the brilliant
prints of the Tahitian maiden or
just plain white with sashes and
accessories of these glorious colors
which simply demand touch Of
the same brilliancy in the make
up. The lipstick must harmoni5e
with the reds we wear. Pale rose
and insipid reds are not enough
for us in our gypsy gJise: ..
There is the same rule in color
combinations, and that is to avoid
the blue-reds In lipstick except
when wearing blue. The red-gera-
mum, nasturtium, terra Gotta and
scarlet are all correct with any
shade of tan. -
This burning question Of chang.
ing the complexion every year
should really be given serious con-
sideration. The great majority
seem to have a firm conviction
to be in fashion they must acquire
a brown skin shade with the lay
ing off of winter garments.
While the bronze tones may be
flattering to some, there are many
who are not improved by 1t and
find it even injurious.
Too much sun makes them LII.
Bette Davies is one Of this type
and for this change Of color she
must depend on very gradual eX.
posure to the synthetic tan.
There are so many fine suntan
lotions on the market we may
wear any shade we please, and in
the meantime tan gradually and
safely. Make a rule to apply some
protective cream or lotion when
ever the skin is exposed to the
summer sun and wind.

Etiquette
Introduction
Is Proper
ByMRS.CORNELTUs BEECKMAN

MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When you are visiting some
one, and they happen to be out
of the room for minute and dur
ing that minute a young man
comes in and you don't know him,
is it proper to speak to him or
introduce yourself to him? Taking
for granted, of course, that he is
a friend Of the person you are
visiting. .r.-,'
when a person asks, How are
yOu?' Is it proper to answer, 4
am fine, thank yOu,' or should you
omit the thank you?
when you meet someone for
the first time, who should say, Il
was glad to meet yOu'-if this is
proper to Say-the young man or
the young lady? a
when you arrive home, after
having been out with a young man,
should you tell him that you had a
nice time, and thank him, or
shouldn't you thank him?
a."
Under these circumstances
when the hostess leaves the room
for minute or so and, during her
absence a young man enters the
room-either you or he would
make a Standardization, which
ever is the more socially alert.
You may say, for instance. Mrs.
Allen has just stepped out, but
she will be back directly. am
Sara Hall, and I have just
dropped in to see Mrs. Allen for
a few minutes" Or the young
man might say, Il am Tom Field.
I came to see Mrs. Allen. Is she
at home?"
II am very we'll, thank you" Is
the more gracious answer =. since
the thank you" is a pleasant
gesture of appreciation for the
friendly inquiry.
1t doesn't make any difference
whether the young man or the
young lady says the Il am very
glad to have met you." This
comment is a pleasant, friendly
thing to say to a person to whom
we have been introduced. Usually,
of course. it is the person leaving
first who says it.
What usually happens -. or
should happen, is that the young
man thanks the young lady for
going to the party with him, and
then the young lady says what a
pleasant time she has had.

Just as wearabIe.
Linda Alba-de Costa is the de-
signer, and she has quite repu-
tation up around New York. She
has obtained just enough of this
marvellous straw fabric to make a
limited number of little jackets,
and few of them have found
their way into one of our local
stores. We have one photographed
on this page today.
DRFSSMAKER DETAILS
The jackets are of the bolero
type, with the same little dress
maker details that you'll find on
fabric jackets. The straw is i'm
ported, and is unbelievably soft
and thin. The jackets are smart
because they are so entirely new
and different, and they are prac-
tical because they are noncrush-
able, they pack easily, and they
can be dry-cleaned or dyed.
: Best of all, they are not so
typically evening that you can't
wear them for sports, too. Imagine
one over a simple white crepe
frock, for spectator sports. Cool
enough to be practically nothing,
it would add just the right amount
Sf dash and color, without any
weight at all. They are satin lined,
by the way.
QUILTED JACKETS
Quilting enlivens many little
Jackets for evening-of different
fabrics. Some of them, hand
quilted by the mountain women
Of Kentucky, are in most unusual
and fascinating designs. There
are linens, wearable for either eve
ming or sports, in a rope design
with the rope edges quilted. There
is even quilted velvet, the most ro-
mantle and elegant of them all.
Quilted taffeta is rather usual, but

Children
By GLADYS BEVANs

Most of the undesirable phys
ical habits that children sprout
occasion their mothers anxiety
and at the same time fill them
with the feeling of being utterly
at sea as to what to do about
them.
AS a matter of fact, it is not
always possible to put ones
finger exactly on either the
cause or cure. But we have been
able to discover some reasons
why children well past baby
hood-or even older-Suddenly
develop or continue such unde-
Sirable habits as nail biting,
thumb sucking, bed wetting, etc.
But before mentioning these
possible causes I want to tuck
in this fact for you to tie to
and find encouragement in. 1t
is this: That most normal chill
dren as they grow in sense. ex.
perience, and physical stamina
outgroW their undesirable habits

understanding and affectiona5e
treatment.
So, have patience and don't
go violently into action and anx-
iety the instant you observe one
of these habits starting.
The next part of my preface is
this: That there is not neces-
sarily just one cause for a child
developing one of these habits.
There may be several causes or
a combination of circumstances
in his life and his family that
give rise to the habit. So I am
suggesting that it is wise, espe-
cially if you can't seem to put
your finger on any one reason,
to set about your cure by an at
tack on several fronts. In this
way you may strike the one right
remedy, or achieve success by a
combination of remedies for a
combination Of causes.

Manners
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II was married secretly about
three months ago. I have now
told my immediate family and
I would like to know how I could
announce my marriage to my
friends and relatives who live
in distant States? Is it proper
to send wedding announce
ments? "W."
1t isn't considered especially
good form to send formal mar
riage announcements after SO
long time has elapsed since
the marriage.
However, it really isn't incor'
rect to do this, if you especially
wish to, and if there are so
many people to whom this an
nouncement is to be sent.
My suggestion would be for
you to write notes of announce
ment to the friends and rela-
tives who live at too great a dis
lance to be told by word OF
mouth.
Don't you agree that this
really seems more appropriate,
under the circumstances? 1t Is
q simple way of making the
announcement; it is inexpen.
sive, and it is more personal
and appropriate. 4

No woman is entitled
to use perfume unless
she has a body that is
kept clean by a daily
securing with soap and
water and doesn't care
how big the laundry bill
may be. Soiled indies
pick up perspiration
and carry a foul odor
in just a few days.
Pay no attention to
what your friend tells
you about perfumes.
Buy the scent that
makes an appeal to
your nose, which is the
best guide. You'll have
to live with the per-
fume, and that's what
matters most.
When the teeth are
diScolored, brush them
with common table
salt. The tiny crystals
act as a cleansing agent.
They do more than
that; they harden the
gums. The friction acts
as a stimulating treat
ment. stirring up lazy
circulation and giving
the gums a healthy
color.
