OUN-SUIT time is just about here,
~ so be sure to stock up for your
child before the hot days come,
when clothing will be burden on
young limbs. The newest we've
found are adorable looking, and
ere just about as little as the law
allows. There's a little pantie
business which ties on with straps
across the shoulders. There's a
wooden bead that slides up and
down on the straps to assure fit
and that the straps will stay over
the shoulders. over that is q
double cape or bib arrangement
which will protect tender skin
from too much sun. This again
ties, so that there is no worry
from buttons that come off or
that get in the way. There's a
third matching piece, backleSs
bonnet that is really just straight
piece, tied on again with more
straps. These adorable little suits
come in cotton prints that are
gaily colored, a flower print
sketched, but others suggestive of
the summer life of a child. They
are adjustable to size, with their
many straps that tie and replace
buttons, and they sell for 81 for
al three pieces.

Beauty
She Conquers
Acne
BY DONNA GRACE

The great pleasure we derive
from our daily column is to know
we may have helped our readers
in their various beauty problems.
1t is a great satisfaction to receive
such letters as the following, and
because Of its courteous and gen.
uine sincerity we are going to
print it for you to read.
Dear Donna Grace:
due to illness this last sum-
mer / had a face badly covered
with acne. And when a nOt-tOO-
pretty face is covered with pim-
pies, blackheads and sores, it
makes the 'prickleS' seem like
mountains to the one behind
them. Such was my case. While
I am neat and do my best to be
clean, it doesn't mar the fact that
/ had a mob Of pimples-and they
don't help anyone.
ITO make my story short, /
finally sent for your advice. My
case Of acne, which was truly
honey, disappeared in about three
weeks. It comes back periodically,
but It is a simple matter to apply
the lotion which has surely done
the work.
Makeup causes pimpleS to be
hideOusIy emphasized. How well I
know that! We will all admit a
little makeup goes . long way ON
a healthy face, but not If one
has acne.
81 want to thank you for your
prompt reply and also for the re-
search you must have done to
make it possible for girls in all cir
CumStances to be free of the arch
enemy acne.
"The lotion costs so little and
lasts three mOnthS-nOt bad! Well,
should like to shout it is grand.
My thanks, though belated, are
from the bottom Of my heart,
Thank you. You have helped girls
and boys, men and women in all
sorts Of beauty problems. Please
include me among them. And
please keep up the good work.
Gratefully
"ELENE."
The lotion mentioned in the
above letter is one that can be
made up at any drugstore. Besides
the formula, there is a treatment
for acne that may be made up at
home. If you wish, you may have
both for the self-addreSSed,

kitchen range as well.
Youngsters are finding it fun
to cook and they appear to do more
with their talent than merely turn
out batch of fudge or mess
around" with pots and pans in a
well ordered kitchen. They take
the cooking seriously and prepare
some delicious dishes.
There is a purpose back of it
as many will assure you. In one
southern high school many young
students take cooking by request.
Boys, so that they can in time be-
come pullman chefs and build up
a clientele as a "chef de cuisine. !"
Girls, on the other hand, find
the ability to cook and prepare a
thick juicy steak and biscuits and
pastry, the best sort of husband
bait. Preparedness is the motto
at any rate.
The age limit of these novice
cooks does vary, but youth cer-
tainly provides no obstacle. Some
of these enthusiasts are at the ma
lure age OF SIX!
The one rule that most mothers
seem to hold to is that the kitchen
be left in as good order as it was
found. But since that is only
good craftsmanship, the cleaning.
up afterwards becomes only a part
Of the game.
It is fun to cook, if there are no
failures and things turn out right,
so choose recipes that are not too
difficult to prepare if you are only
learning. Often a clever garnish
will turn the trick for a simple
dish, as in the case of this tomato
steak.
TOMATO STEAK
l pound of sirloin steak
3 tomatoes
4 slices of toast
Horseradish and pickle garnish
Have the broiler preheated.
Wipe the steak with a damp cloth
and salt generously. Broil on one
side for eight minutes, turn and
broil for seven minutes on the
other side. Dot with butter.
While the steak is broiling, make
the toast. Cut the toast into tri-
angles. Cut the steak into four
servings. Serve centered on the
toast triangles. Top with slices of
tomato.
Blend horseradiSh and pickle
relish. Serve one-half teaspoon of
relish on each slice of tomato.
Colorful and delicious it is.
The refrigerator cake is the an
swer for the sweet tooth. There is
no chance for failure, but cake
must be made the day before it is
to be served.
REFRIGERATOR CAKE
6 eggs
2-3 cup Of butter
2 cups of powdered sugar
cup Of cocoanut
II cup of English walnuts

It's only one procedure. It really

that you wish it that way makes
all the difference. It's just a mat
