The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-12

Herbert Tonissoo. national Y. M. 0. A. secretary for Estonia, cliHnaxed a four day study of the Waterbury Y. M. O. A. at dinner with the members of the board of directors and secretaries last night. He pre- sented the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. with Q lag of Estonia, representing "the blue of the sky, the black of the soil, and the white, which stands for freedom"
 President Dr. Charles L. Larkin said, ''You have shown us that we are not just Q small organization in our own local community, but that the Y. M. o. A. in Waterbury, is part of @ great world movement, which is effecting the life of the world in Q big way"
 Greatest Pioneer
 Secretary Tontssoo called the Y. M. 0. A. "the greatest pioneer of the 20th century" He told how 1t had started 496 Y. M. 0. As In Europe, and how the Y. M. o. A. came to war-torn Europe at the opportune time. Said he, My own country has been rent by seven revolutions and invasions since 1905. EStonia was threatened with communism and other ills. Your American Y. M. c. As sent their secretaries. and they showed us how to combat these ills by putting a practical program into effect, for the benefit of all classes" Religion in Estonia was of a very narrow and impractical type.

I spent many happy hours in that

to an apple tree and go to work on
the asparagus. Usually, Judy, the

times on the trip down; going home 1t
was the same, except that each time,
in addition to picking myself up. I
had to pick up all the asparagus, too.
Once, though, We made the return
trip without stop-Judy encoun-
tered a black snake looking for
trouble, and we went home in burst
of speed that I did not realize the fat
pony could attain. The asparagus
came along intact, too, which called
for an explanation to the authorities,
who were used to seeing mangled
and worse for-wear harvest after my
mornings work. When I told them
about the snake they decided was
making it all up; I got spanked for
telling lies, and had no asparagus for
lunch. But the fact remained that
Judy never would go to the asparagus

Avoid Exotic
Look by Use
Of R u 6 e
The Effect of Hard
Smartness Is Out
of Picture.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

ONE Of Hollywood's master make
up artists has very definite ideas
on the subject Of rouge. Every girl
should use some cheek coloring.
That's one OF his most rigid beauty
laws. The blanched cheek. vivid lip,
shadowed eye Is too exotic for the
average girl, too exotic for any one.
It achieved the effect OF hard smart
ness, and that's out OF date. Pretti-
ness is the new beauty trend.
We start OF, then, with the beauty
maxim that every girl should use
rouge. The next step Is choice Of
color. Choose a delicate shade. The
next step Is the actual application.
How to use 1t 50 that it is most ef1ec-
tive and most becoming.
Here's where the two types Of rouge
come In. And, most makeup artists
agree that two rouges are better than
one. Moist rouge, either liquid or
paste, is best as the basic" color.
The liquid Is q little more dimcult
to apply than the paste, but with
practice the art Is mastered. Wiring
a pad OF cotton out OF cold water
and dip into skin tonic. Pat the
skin. Then with the same pad apply
the liquid rouge, using it with very
restraining hand. It Is well to be
actually "stingy" with the rouge BE-
cause, for one thing, little goes
q long way and, for another, it Is

ing whether paste or liquid. The
blending comes next. The most in
tense coloring should be at the natural
color area and should fade away so
that edges are not at all obvious.
'rhe paste rouge may be applied
over the skin while 1t Is still moist
from skin tonic (not actually wet,
but somewhat damp. Or it may
be applied over a liquid or cream
powder base. Again, blend until the
edges are scarcely peroeptible.
Powder comes next. It is not rubbed
on, because this may rub the rouge
OH and may in fact injure the skin.
It is patted on generously and the
excess smoothed away with soft pun
or a powder brush. Then, If the rouge
Is too faint, the color Is heightened
by the second rouge-the dry variety
called cake or compact rouge.
Both types OF rouge should have
the same basic tone. It Is obvious
that one orange-red and one blue
red rouge may not result in q per-
feet blend. And both types should
harmonize with the individuals own
coloring.

Children
Effective
InWedding
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Is it possible
for a bride to have only children
attendants and yet not have wedding
that looks like a kindergarten party?
I have many dear friends here with
whom have grown up, and other dear
friends elsewhere who have been more
recently close to me in college.
don't know how to choose a half
dozen of them at the most, without
hurting the feelings Of great many
others. Neither my flance nor have
any sisters and there are no women
relatives of a suitable age. But do
have eight young friends-four boys
and four girls-all near enough to one
age so as to be almost the same size.
Their ages range from to years.
Could I use these children In the
wedding, and If so, how could they be
arranged? My fiance will have best
man, but I would not have an older
attendant at all and would carry
a prayer book so there will be no COM
plicating problem Of the wedding
bouquet during the service. There
will have to be four ushers, but would
they have to take part in the pro-
cession if I used the children?
Answer: Since children always add
to a picture, I see no reason why you
couldn't establish precedent II you
want to. As a matter OF fact, they
might look very we'll if you put them
in effective clothes, such as the
eighteenth century English portrait
type-the boys in long, high wasted
white satin trousers and, let's say,
blouses of any sheer white material:
the little girls in either the same sheer
white material with satin sashes or
else puffed-sleeved, short-waisted,
ankle-length white satin dresses. But
if they were dressed in their ordinary
type of clothes I am afraid the whole
effect would be that Of a teachers
class going to May pole party. I
think I would let the four little boys
walk together first, like ushers, and
then the four little girls together fol-
lowing, because the procession would
look much longer If they walked boy
and girl together. To let the four
ushers walk first would probably help
to establish a more conventional wed.
ding atmosphere. However, you can
decide this at the rehearsal

Some of the best-intentioned teaching

from their homes. leaving all they
loved as home behind them. Many
Of them were ILL., Food WAS scarce
medicines were needed. Schools were
closed and the children, shocked ane
bewildered. we're gathered wherever
safety offered.
A kindly teacher. her heart aching
for the distress OF the stricken people
told an assembled group OF classes
about the disaster, pictured the rush
| of the food waters, the ruin OF the
farms, the mad rush for safety. The
ctIldren sat stif1ly erect, silent, aweo
by the tale OF disaster. The teacher
finished her story and left the plat
form. The music teacher entered AND
lifted her baton, the piano uttered the
prelude, but no sound followed from
the group sitting there SO stifny In
the ordered rows. Again the teacher
signaled, the piano demanded, but
no sound came.
What is wrong, children?" asked
the music teacher.
A girl half way down the room
rose. I'VE can't sing, Miss Bruce
We Just heard about those children
in the flood. We can't"
"Oh, so? Tell me"
miss Harry said the children Out
West were being drowned. And thei,
mothers. It's = flood. Yes, Miss
Bruce, q terrible flood"
So the music teacher dismissed the
group to their class rooms and wen
on to her next lesson. But classworl
was poor. There was little or no re.
sponse and one teacher asked ths
other what the trouble could be
"They are 50 restless and inattentive,
she said.
One experienced old teacher lais
down his book and said, We're no
getting anywhere, children. What
the trouble?"
II guess we're kinda worried abou

heard about them in assembly. Ism
there something we can do beside!

There surely is. Wait. Well asl

The group marched into assembl,
alert and eager. Now something wa
to be done about this thing that hat
harried their emotions to the achinl
point. They appointed committees
laid out . few plans, and then wen
back to class perfectly satisfied tina

And they did.
What I want to point out is tn

them no chance to express what the

The Old Gardener Says:

One of the most valuable addi-
tions to the garden in recent
years has been the dwarf hardy
asters. From the time they come
into bloom, in late August, until
frost, they are covered with
dainty, single flowers. The plants
form dwarf mounds and seldom
grow more than q foot high. They
have the additional advantage OF
being perfectly hardy and easy
to grow. The best variety seems
to be Snow sprite, which Is clear
white. Marjorie Is a rosy pink
and is almost equally good. Vic
tor, pale lavender, Lady Henry
Maddocks, pale pink and Coun-
tess Of Dudley, pink with q yellow
eve, are also to be recommended.
Constance, Niobe, Lilac-time and
Lavanda are the newest introduc-
tions. Plants can go into the
ground as soon as 1t can be
worked satisfactorily.

THE way I wander on certainly

started out to make this column all
about present-day asparagus, which
we find sitting In neatly tied bundles
on grocers' and market shelves. And

Too bad. 1t won't be long now, I'm

In all seriousness, however, as We
are entering upon q good long run Of
fresh, tender and inexpensive aspara-
gus, it is good time to look into the
matter of various ways Of preparing
it. For no matter how much we like
the green stalks "just plain" with
butter, there are many other forms
in which they may be served that will
bring variety and charm to the Spring
menu.

ASPARAGUS.
Wash the stalks well, after unite
ing the bundle, and be sure that all
grit is removed from each one. Cut
of the lower tough parts Of the stalks
(this may be done before the bundle
is united, to save time) and, If neces-
sary, scrape the ends with knife to
remove fibrous skin. Tie the stalks
again into punches, and stand them
in a deep saucepan, heads up, and
the bottom Of the bunch in boiling
salted water. The water should come
to within l inch of the tips. Cover
the saucepan and cook for Is minutes.
until tender. Drain well, unite, and
arrange in q neat bunch, or individual
portions on serving platter. Serve
with melted butter, Hollandaise sauce
or cream sauce. If the asparagus is
cooled and then chilled in the icebox,
1t may be served as a. separate course
with either mayonnaise or Vinaigrette
sauce.
FRIED ASPARAGUS.
Drain cooked asparagus stalks, and
dip them in one egg, beaten with two
tablespoons water. Roll them lightly
in salted flour, and dip them again
In the egg mixture. Fry In deep fat
until golden brown, drain on absorb
ent paper, and serve very hot.
CREAN1ED EGGS, ASPARAGUS IN

Remove the crusts from loaf OF

thick. Cut with an oval cutter. Hollow

DIRKSEN TO PUSH BILLS
FOR TRACTION SERVICE

Striving to force the Capital Tran
sit Co. to furnish better service at
less cost to the public, Representative
Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois an
nounced today he would press tor
early action by the House District
Committee on two bills he introduced
to accomplish this purpose.
Dirksen's latest move was the in
PRODUCTION Of bill yesterday which
would reduce street car and bus fares
to 7 cents. The present rate OF fare
is 10 cents cash or four tokens TO,
80 cents. There is now pending be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
a petition from the transit company
for authority to increase the token
fare to three for IS cents.
The measure would amend the
public utilities act OF 1918 by taking
from the commission it's authority
to fix rates of fare if they exceed 7
cents. The commission, however,
would continue to control rates OF
fare under cents.
Several days ago Dirksen introduced
q bill to abolish one-man car opera
tions by requiring that cars, as we'll
as buses having capacity of 80 or
more passengers, carry a conductor
as well as an operator.
