Grooming Aids
Defeat or Age
Immaculate Appearance
Is First Principle OF Beauty

IT is the duty of every woman
to retain her attractiveness
from the carefree days of her
girlhood straight through matur-
ity. There is no reason for the
passage of the years to mean
anything more than a gradual
mellowing of an already well de-
veloped personality.
The reason we do not find near
ly half enough women keeping
up their appearance after the
early years of marriage seems to
be because Of indifference 10 the
thousand and one small matters
that pertain to immaculate groom
ing,
A woman may be born with
good looks, but even the most per-
feet profile soon becomes blurred
If a poor skin, untidy hair and y
neck lined with premature wrin
kles, usually the result of poor
posture, are allowed to flourish.
Good looks, and the freshness
of youth can be carried righ,
through life by every woman who
will earnestly strive to work day
in and day out, to keep every
detail of her person scrupulously
we'll groomed, Such care is not
to be confused with vanity; quite
to the contrary ii is but badge
of a genuine comprehension of
what life really demands of all
of us.
A slovenly appearance indi-
Gates total lack of appreciation
of the real import of living. No
matter how great the demands
of family or business may be,
there can still be found time,
perhaps only few minutes each
day, in which to perform those
intimate personal rites that will
serve to keep every portion of
the body at a high degree Of
perfection.
Personal care Is not q long in
volved. or expensive procedure.
Quite to the contrary 1t consists
of regular brief attention to small
details.

Kitchen Ware

1T LOOKS very much as if
Spring has come into every
kitchen to stay. Jonquil yellows,
tulip reds, hyacinth blues and
new grass greens do their part
in making modern kitchens rooms
of bright happiness.
And just because colors have
come into the kitchen it does not
mean that common sense equip
ment has been discarded for friv-
olous decorations. Why not a
spotless white teakettle, with a
snub-nosed spout that pours
straight and true, and a handle
that retains it's GOODNESS, that is
brightly banded in red? And all
the other pots and pans that are
in constant use, why shouldn't
they, too, have such fresh and
happy exteriors?
The canister sets, the bread
boxes, and even the old reliable
cooky jars are now riot of color
and daring design. Shelf paper,
window curtains, covers for chair
seats, and even the floor itself,
splashes color.
The trusty pairing knife, the hot
cake turner, in fact every article
in the kitchen drawer also re-
fleets bright color by having heat
proof handles in shades that
match the dominate color of the
room.
And best of all, these necessi-
ties cost so little that it Is posi-
BILE to allot a few dollars here
and q few dollars there out of the
budget and bring about a COM
plete Transformation of the kit
chen for a small outlay.
II Is just as necessary to keep
pace with kitchen fashions as 1t is
to have other portions Of the
home modern and colorful In ap-
pearance. The fresh brightness OF
today's color schemes make 1t
possible to transform q kitchen
into one Of the gayest rooms In
the home; and 10 It should be.
for does not the average home
maker spend . greater percent
age Of her busy hours there than
In any other portion Of the house?

able. Softly feminine in cut and
decoration, they are truly repre-
sentative Of the new trend in
glorifying curves and accenting
the wearer's best features.
For active sports wear the
same Western company that has
brought out the new peasant
styles in sweaters Is showing
new coat sweaters that feature
raglan shoulders in front with a
new darted back. This new treat
ment banishes the round shoul-
dered back that has made raglan
sleeves unbecoming to many
women. BY confining the raglan
effect only to the front an attrac-
tive uplifted bust line is achieved,
while the tailored straightness of
the full darted back gives the
garment real style and comfort.

sprinkled, and neat little pot of
paste rouge. The lipstick works
on swivel and has a peaked
top that is an aid in neatly shap-
ing the lips.
For durability this lipstick will
stand up with the most highly
touted. 1t is creamy in substance,
which means that it goes on
smoothly and even when worn for
a number of hours neither
smudges nor reduces itself to
small cracked lines.
Here are admirable compan-
ions to tuck into white or pastel
summer handbags, for smart use
throughout the seas son.
In this season of fluttering
wells, frilled necklines and rip
pling skirts, faces should take on
makeup that is of a more deli
cately tinted tone than the dar-
ingly exotic combinations that
were very much in keeping with
rich brocades and velvets of the
winter.
This new true red shade is ideal
for use with the pinkish beige
powders that help to carry out
the new more feminine skin tones
of current popularity. So if you
are one who will sponsor the So
called "softer" makeup in keep
ing with spring fashions, these
rouges will be of sincere interest.

True Red Rouges Newest
InnOuatiOn For Summer

livery spring the makers of
IL cosmetics seem to become i'm
bued with the spirit of freshness
and youthful charm and intro
duce new and interesting rouges
in colors that are quite in keep,
ing with bright new clothes.
While face and lip rouges can
be had in a wide range of colors,
from deep blood red to that very
light lacquer shade that is asso-
ciated with Chinese design, we
now find that still another new
shade has come among us.
This new color is labeled true
red, and the description is most
accurate. More intense than the
soft rose-petal shades. but far
softer than the vivid shadings
that contain so much orange, this
new color has clear-cut tone
that is becoming to majority of
women WHO wish to wear just
mere suspicion of rosy blush upon
their cheeks and lips.
The containers for these new
rouges exhibit clever adaptation
of modern design. Small gold
stars are sprinkled on a white
enamel base and you have to look
twice to find where the old and
honorable name of the makers
has been etched in tiny letters.

Tasty Spreads
Delightful For
Sandwiches
Serve Yourself Idea
Pleases Everyone And
Assures Fresh Food
BY Dorothy Blair

4 IORE picnics would turn out
M to be the happy outings that
are anticipated If all sandwich
making was reserved until the
picnickers were duly installed in
their sylvan setting.
What is more distressing to a
keen outdoor appetite than an
array of soggy sandwiches, unless
1t is a batch of dry and tasteless
ones. And there is yet to be de-
vised a means of keeping sand
wiches at the peak of perfection
for more than scant half hour,
SO the only alternative is to
spread as you serve"
Sandwich filings in abundant
variety may be prepared at home,
or as in the case of cheese
spreads, purchased in neat little
jars. and grouped together in the
picnic basket. 1t is optional
whether the bread is spread with
butter and rewrapped in wax pa
per, or transported just as. it
came from the grocers.
Use of a large wooden tray will
help in arranging the materials
for making delicious sandwiches,
and disposable little pressed wood
en- spreads will simplify prepara-
ton.
Lettuce and tomato sandwiches
are liked by nearly everyone and
are especially good for children
on an outing. A head of lettuce,
crisped in the refrigerator, may
be securely wrapped in paper and
carried along. 1t is not wise to
skin tomatoes as they lose not
alone their shape, but also con-
siderable degree of flavor. Be sure
to include a small sharp knife
and a bottle of mayonnaise.
The'cheese spreads rank among
filings for picnic sandwiches.
Quite aside from their convenient
packagfng in little glasses that
may be afterwards used for bev-
erages, the high food value of
cheese makes it satisfying fare
for picnics.
Many appetizing meat spreads
are put in small cans that can be
opened in a jiffy with key that
is lightly soldered to the side.
Minced or chopped black olives,
also put up in small cans, are
another suggestion. All sorts of
cold meats can be sliced at home,
but small jar of picked tongue
or pigs feet is sure to find ready
acceptance by someone and is just
different enough to give the menu
zip.
Layer cakes and pies should
really stay at home. Too often
they come to disaster during
transport and extra plates and
forks must be taken along for
their consumption. Better stick
to cookies and individual frosted
cakes made in muffin pans.
The best guide in planning a
picnic spread is to keep the vari-
ETY. well within bounds. Dabs of
this and that rarely satisfy,
whereas an abundance of a few
well selected foods Will be eaten
with relish.
While paper napkins, plates
and cups are convenient, paper
cloth is a nuisance. This is
equally true Of most cotton or
linen cloths that seem to blow
into everything with the first gust
of wind. The solution lies in Sc
lecting a fabrikoid cloth, or big
square of oilcloth.

Clever Tricks
Possible With
Wallpaper
Many Useful Articles
Given New Beauty By
Use Of Paper Designs

THERE'S a wealth of possibility
in wallpaper, and with a few
simple implements, pair of scis-
sors, a pot of glue, a little shellac
perhaps, last decades furniture
can be made to look attractive
and new 1t costs so little too-a
few ideas and bit of time after
the breakfast dishes are done
and your friends will soon be re-
marking your cleverness and in
genuity.
There's the old chest of draw
ers - you've never known quite
what to do with it. Pay visit to
your favorite hardware dealers,
or the five and ten. Choose a de-
sign in wallpaper best suited to
the motif you wish to develop and
in the colors that will harmonize
with the wall tones of your room.
Once the planning is completed,
the colors and the motif deter
mined, the actual work is simple.
Cut out the design and shellac
the patterns on the front of the
bureau drawers, spacing them
evenly between the handles. You
will be pleased with the new ef-
feet in a refreshing sea motif,
hunting scene for a mans room
floral arrangements for the ado
lescent girl.
There is an endless need for
waste baskets, and the motif can
be carried out by recovering the
old basket in a neutral back
ground, a solid shade of wallpa-
per, with the chosen design
superimposed on this. The fin
ished effect will be gained by
pasting a border, say in the pre-
dominating color of the design, at
the top and base of the basket.
A small pasteboard box can be
easily converted into jewel case,
or a box for bobbie pins and hair
nets, by covering it in the same
general way as the scrapbasket
was covered.
Wallpaper pictures can be
made delightful. Paste the pat
terms on a cardboard background
and complete with a border of the
patterns predominating color
pasted around the edge. Several
floral patterns might be combined
to make a bouquet, or trees and
a shoreline added to complete a
ship riding at anchor.
Something quite new and re-
freshing can be done with an old
mirror and although the idea is
as old as grandmother time, it
is being shown as something
smart and new ip the decorators
shops. Just scratch the silver off
the back of the mirror, and paste
your favorite scene in its place.
This can be done with a sharp
safety-razor, and the back is in
turn reinforced by sealing with
wrapping paper. The outer edges
of the mirror, which you do not
remove, make an unusually at
tractive border.
These suggestions will prob
ably open up a field Of clever
ideas for introducing bright spots
of color into your home.

MANY USES FOR
MASHED POTATOES

A few years ago one was apt to
excuse mashed potatoes if an occas-
sional lump was found, but now,
with all the fancy ricers and mash
ers there is no excuse at all.
Mashed potatoes are used as a
garnishing in a very attractive
way. One will occasionally see
them piped in a pretty border
around planked fish. Or in rosettes
on chops. But as an accompani-
ment to meat they are at their
BEST either plain mashed or mash
ed and baked like this:
MASHED POTATOES, BAKED
2 cups cold mashed POTATOES
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
cup milk or cream
Salt and pepper
Stir the butter well with the DO
tatoes, add the eggs, beaten stiff
and then the cream. Season to
taste. Beat all together well, place
in buttered pudding dish and
bake in a quick oven until brown,
and serve Immediately.

Another Delicious
Eggplant Recipe

When one takes time to discover
the many, many ways of preparing
an eggplant it really presents an
interesting study.
An eggplant is vegetable al
most universally used, and natur-
ally, prepared in various fashions
in various countries. However,
right here in our country there's
fully dozen or more ways and all
Of them delicious. Here is a recipe
that was recently sent to us, which
we have used several times with
great success.
BAKED EGGPLANT WITH
CHEESE
/ large eggplant
u cup Italian tomato sauce
A tablespoons butter
Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt
Peal the eggplant, slice it, and
sprinkle well with salt to extract
the bitter juices. Let stand / hour,
then wash and drain. Heat 3 table,
spoons of butter in large frying
pan and fry the slices until they
are a light brown on both sides.
Cover the bottom Of a baking dish
with the slices, pour a little Of the
italian tomato sauce over them,
and sprinkle lightly with Parmesan
cheese; put in the remainder Of
the eggplant slices, moisten with
the rest Of the sauce, and sprinkle
with more cheese over all. Dot with
butter and bake in a moderate
oven onehah hour.

Cool Weather Brings
Boiled Beef With
HOrseradiSh Sauce

The other day we heard a man
remark that he just exists through
the summer waiting for cool
weather so he could have boiled
beef with vegetables and horse
radish sauce. Now that's
pleasant thought that has probably
slipped many a good housewives
mind. For this dish the meat
should be juicy, well favored and
tender. The brisket, cross rib and
rump are the best portions. The
wide ribs at the end of rib roast
are also very good. Tie the beef
with string and put into boiling
water, clear from scum, add salt,
and garnish with carrots, onions,
turnips, celery, leeks and Savoy
cabbage. The cabbage may be tied
with string to prevent disinter-
grafton. A good way is to put all
the vegetables into the net as they
can thus be withdrawn at once.
Allow the meat to simmer gently
on the side of the range, but do
not let it come to boil. When
done cut in slices not too thin, and
garnish with the vegetables neatly
arranged around the beef. Serve
separately, either cream horse
radish sauce, piquante, tomato or
bouillon horseradish sauce. A little
of its own broth should be poured
over the meat before serving.
To make the horseradish sauce,
CRATE two fresh horseradish, add
a little salt, a teaspoon of Wor-
chestershire sauce, and spoonful
Of vinegar, mix well. Then add
one pint Of stiffly whipped cream.

Junior Red Cross Is

says Mrs. H. T. Thompson, Junior
Red Cross Chairman of Bethesda
Branch. The Juniors are expected to
earn whatever they pay for their
memberships, and anything from one
cent up is accepted, ten cents being
the usual membership fee.
Mrs. Berlin Brann of Cabin John,
member of the Nursing Committee,
has been visiting the schools of the
county and addressing assemblies of
children, explaining about Red Cross
and it's work. Probably no one is
better informed about this than Mrs.
Brann, who has given much of her
time for some twenty years to the
work of Red Cross. October 14th she
spoke at Alta Vista School, Oct. 18th
at Glen Echo-Cabin John School, and
later in Somerset School.
Mrs. Brann spoke highly of the
work of The Comfort Bag Committee,
composed of three girls of Cabin John
Junior Red Cross members. They have
made "a comfort bags, and filled
