Conversational Pests
Cause Much Trouble

THERE would be much more
happiness on this sphere of ours
If mankind, and womankind, did
less talking and more thinking.
Everyone of us talks too much,
Paradoxically, the taciturn indi-
vidual is regarded with distrust,
while the talker, merrily babbling
truths and untruths with complete
disregard for the feelings of 9TH
ers, goes blithely along, making an
already complicated existence still
more confusing by reason of in
cessant chatter
Talkativeness is a habit, usually
established in childhood when
careless parents freely allow a
growing mentality to express it
self in continual prattle. While au-
thorities of the modern school of
Embarrassing agree that children
should be unhampered in express
ing themselves, this opinion does
not include encouragement of
ceaseless talk, just for the sake of
sound. Mature reactions to this
habit are often SO tragic as to ruin
not alone the life of the chatter

Infra-Red Rays
Of Sun Lamps
Are Healing

THE healing rays of the sun are
now reflected by means of large
infra-red ray lamps in many of
the leading beauty shops of the
country.
While we of the West are able to
secure a very generous portion of
he direct rays of old Sol. the sci
entific application of the infra-red
rays as generated by electricity and
diffused by lamps is so definitely
beneficial to the health and ap-
pearance of women, that beauty
salons with departments devoted to
massage and body reduction have
found such applications of artificial
rays desirable even when regular
sun baths are taken out of doors.
The infra-red ray is one of the
most penetrating rays known to
science. 1t is used to increase cir
culation, facilitate elimination, re-
lieve pain and relax tense muscles
and ligaments, which means that
an infra-red ray lamp has much
to contribute to general well being.
The pleasing warmth of these
lamps brings immediate relaxation
Like natures rays, they pene-
trate quickly and are liable to cause
sunburn unless the skin is pro-

sand has now spread all over the
country. A number of artificial sun
beaches have recently been in
stalled in salons in the West,
1t is interesting to learn how
carefully these treatments are
given Each client is examined so
as to discover the exact condition
OF her skin in order that a time
limit may be placed on exposure.
Treatments vary from five to
twenty minutes, depending on the
type of skin being exposed and the
number of treatments already
taken. This means that there is no
chance of harmful sunburn to off
set the beneficial effects of the
rays; condition that all too often
occurs when careless sun bathers
lie too long in natures direct sun
light.
The lesson behind the findings of
beauty experts in connection with
infra-red rays is unfailing skin
protection during exposure periods
This means that the time of bask-
ing in the suns rays, artificial or
otherwise, should be subjected to
a most careful checking, with a
slow but steady increase extending
over a considerable period.

Set Examples
Of N0atneSS
For Youth

THE most potent influences in a
child's life are the examples set
by his parents. Children react far
more readily to what they observe
than to what they are told. In es-
tablishing good table manners in
young children, observance of adult
conduct will teach them far more
quickly than continual admonitions.
Nice table manners begin with
neat personal appearance at meals,
all meals. How junior holds his
fork is important but not vital. He
will learn how to handle this i'm
plement with gracious ease if the
dining room and the family around
the table always sparkle with
cleanliness.
There are times when busy
mothers yield to the temptation of
being lax about meals not shared
with father. Often the noon lunch
is served at the kitchen table, with
a stack of greasy pots and pans for
background. Mothers face may
be far from immaculate, and her
house dress mussed and soiled. The
food is served hastily, which means
that the youngsters feel it is not
necessary for them to adhere to
the cleanliness rules that are so
rigidly enforced before the evening
meal.
In many homes all meals are
eaten in the kitchen, and there is
no reason why this environment
cannot be made as attractive as
the dining room. Absolute cleanli-
ness is the key to the situation.
Spotless oilcloth, cleaning china
and glassware, silver betraying no
signs of tarnish, and all cooking
utensils removed from sight imme-
diately after use will transform the
kitchen into a fit place for family
meals.
Certainly the encouragement of
juvenile table manners under such
circumstances will make much
more rapid progress. Each meal
will be of equal Importance, re-
gardless of surroundings, because
the parents, as well as the child
rem. will unfailingly observe the
niceties of personal grooming and
conduct. Ones early background
leaves a lifelong impression so far
as dining habits are concerned.

Hard Feelings Avoided
By Practicing Silence

box, but also members of the i'm
mediate family.
Comic artists and stage come
dians have long made women the
butt of jokes in connection with
inane conversation, but any care
full observer will quickly agree that
the trait is by no means confined
to the feminine side of the ledger
There are just as many male con-
versationalists who can rattle
along for endless periods without
conveying a single sound idea as
there are women.
The fortunate people are those
who have learned to be reluctant
in expressing an adverse opinion,
but sufficiently articulate SO as not
to arouse suspicion. All books de-
voted to giving advice on self-im-
provement, the cultivation of a
likeable personality, and conse-
quent business and social success,
stress the point Of always giving
the conversational lead to the other
person.
Bitter family arguments would
be reduced to an almost indis-
cernible minimum if recriminations
went unanswered. 1t is that fatal
urge to have the triumphant last
word that leads to marital ruin.
Unalterably true is the statement
that it takes two to make a quarrel.
There can be no arguments if abuse
is allowed to go unanswered, even
in cases where 1t is unjustly ut
tered. Nagging criticism has its
roots in a mind plagued with in
feriority. When this is recognized,
and the carping remarks are dis
regarded. the nagger is minus an
audience and peace is quickly re-
established.

Mirrors Give
Illusion Of
More Space
Tighten Dark Corners
And Enlarge Vistas
OF Difficult Rooms

"A IHILE the day of marbled
" halls seems to belong to
the past, mirrors are as much in
fashion as ever. In fact this is
the day of mirrors, and on oc-
casion even the mantle itself Is
fashioned from cleaning glass.
Mirrors are used for everything
from the walls themselves to
chairs, tables and cabinets. Col
ored mirrors offer a departure
from the traditional devices of re-
Election, but they have been found
to add so much to the rooms ip
which they are used that they are
no longer regarded as passing
novelty.
Mirrors have two vital purposes,
they give the illusion of greater
size to the rooms in which they
are placed, and they also reflect
more light than do opaque walls.
Where the cost of all mirrored
walls precludes their use, it is pos
sible to gain quite a degree of
the pleasing effect created by such
surfaces by installing one large
mirror in a key position.
Mirror tops for dining tables
are a delight. A soft delphinium
blue enjoys high favor and the
contrast it offers to a perfectly
appointed dining table is source
of great satisfaction. Golden mir
rors are equally popular, and they
are so fiattering that they are
frequently chosen for over-mantle
treatments or for bedroom or hall
walls. Golden mirrors are also fit
ted to the tops of coffee tables.
It is not often that mirrored
furniture is introduced into any
part of the home save the dress
ing room. There has been wide ac-
ceptance of mirror sheathed dress
ing tables, chairs, chests of draw
ers and laundry hampers. Their
clean sparkle seems to please fem
mime owners, yet menfolk find
such form of decoration pleasantly
lacking in gingerbread" and so
applaud it's use.
If you have been dissatisfied
with the depressing lack of bright
ness in any particular room, why
not consider the introduction of
we'll placed mirror? Individual
mirrors, framed and unframed, in
gold, blue, pink, or amber tones, as
well as the always correct and
pleasing white, can be had in many
shapes.
Mirrors refresh and brighten the
home, and are so very much in
step with modern decoration as to
be in harmony with any theme
contemplated

interpret the mood of their custom
ers, and when change in national
thought occurs it is bound to find
a reaction in clothes.
Remote as this connection may
seem on first consideration, it is
really easy to understand. Take
for instance last Spring when we
were casual, given to boredom, i'm
personal, realistic and restless. Our
clothes reflected our state of mind.
This season we are more natural,
more poised. We are treating with
more sentiment the simple and real
things of life. Romance is again in
the foreground.
And what happens to clothes as
u result of this revival of gracious
living? Designers no longer Gre
ate loose sleeved dresses in keep
ing with the careless mood, low
heeled shoes that were comfort
able but by not means glamorous,
and berets that could be pulled on
with most everything.
Anatomy is again recognized;
Spring clothes mold the body to
new grace. The new silhouettes
follow the natural outlines of the
figure. Skirts fare, yet cling to the
hips. Shorter skirts emphasize
shoes, and suit jackets are nodded
at the hip-line.
The new clothes are lavish in
their use of color and reflect our
gayer, more light-hearted mood
Color combinations of two or three
shades in sharp contrast are be-
ing used a great deal, and many
interesting things are being done
with fabrics themselves.
This authentic information comes
as the result of an interview with
one of the most outstanding de-
signers of women's clothes in the
West. Miss Beryl Plath, who has
been responsible for the high fash
ion notes that have been introduc-
ed into all manner of clever sports
and informal attire, has won ma
tional acceptance for a Western
knitting firm.
The clever blue and white sports
costume shown was originated by
Miss Plath and is available through
out the West in leading smart
stores. When the trim white jacket
is removed a close fitting bodice
with deeply cut sun back is re-
vealed. The navy blue and white
swing skirt uses a triangular knit
ted design. A narrow brimmed,
white jersey hat with a matching
blue band has been designed as a
companion to the outfit.

Because the rays are so pow
erful, direct exposure should never
consume more than half an hour.
Women who lie all morning and
most of the afternoon in the sun,
particularly after they have been
in for a swim and have allowed
moisture to dry on their bodies, are
doing such great harm to their
skins that all the after-care they
lavish on its rehabilitation never
really proves to be entirely correc-
tive.
A protective sun tonic, applied
before exposure is absolutely nee
essary II the natural oils present in
the skin are to be saved from evap-
grafton. After-treatments with rich
tissue creams will also serve to re-
tain the skins pliability.

tected with a sun tonic. Such a
tonic also lubricates tired, taut
skin. In cases where the skin is ex-
cessively dry and tense, additional
protection in the form of a YOUTH
flying tissue cream should be used.
Under such brilliant light the
eyes require special care, and this
caution should be observed by sun
bathers during the summer months.
Thin cotton congresses, soaked in
anti-wrinkle lotion should be placed
over the eyes which have already
received a coating of herbal eye
cream.

BY Dorothy Blair

IN EVERY pioneer home the most
priced cooking utensil was the
iron skillet. 1t gave service with
out end, and so adept was the mis-
tress of this utilitarian object that
she used it quite as easily for bak-
ing as for stewing. and. many a
fine roast came from it's capacious
interior. Only after a log cabin or
small frame dwelling had been
erected on the edge of the wilder
ness did the family skillet sever
it's affiliation with the open camp
fire. Sometimes it took up it's abode
on the hearthstone until later de-
velopments brought a small iron
stove into the settlers home.
That the skillet has survived to
this day and still retains it's posi-
tion of prestige in homes where
every possible modern convenience
has been installed, speaks volumes
for its efficiency. Skillets vary In
proportions, ranging from shallow
sided frying pans to deep kettles,
they are best known as Dutch
ovens. Research has brought the
humble iron skillet to new heights.
and 1t is now obtainable in various
materials such as heavy cast alum
mum, steel, and high quality iron
that produces a satin smooth sur
face.
New features, such as convenient
lips for pouring, lids that not only
fit tightly but operate on a self
basting principle because their in
sides are covered with numerous
ridges, and removable metal racks
that prevent meat from sticking
and allow more thorough pepe-
tration of moisture, all make for
even greater cooking perfection in
that old reliable, the family skillet.
Where it was necessary for wo-
men of past generations to rely
on one, or at the most, two skillets
Of different sizes, it is now pos
sible to have them in graduated
sizes which makes it possible to fit
the pot to the food.
Frying pan skillets should be
purchased in at least three sizes,
beginning with one that will hold
Just two slices of bacon and a like
number of eggs (although the per-
feet method of frying eggs is to
do them one at a time), then step
ping up to a 9-inch pan, ideal for
omelettes, -side-down cakes and
other delicacies and ending the
group with a large 14-inch pan that
will pantry a man-sized steak. The
latter skillet should have a lid,
as 1t will of course be used for fry
ing chicken Southern style, which
means a sojourn in the oven with
the lid in place.
There are co ntless uses for a
Dutch oven in every home. 1t
should be made of heavy cast iron
In order to make it easy to keep
food at the simmering point. Slow,
even cooking of less expensive
meats is the secret of their fine
flavor and tenderness, and nothing
exceeds the iron skillet of gener-
GUS proportions for this purpose.

Get The Habit
Of Drinking
Fruit Juices
"A /HY not begin the day with a
w refreshing and health-giving


w refreshing and health-giving
glass of fruit juice?
This suggestion has nothing to
do with breakfast but is rather con-
cerned with giving the body a new
supply of vitamins in their most
pleasant form, that of a fruit
pick-me-up, as soon as possible
after the nights sleep has been
shaken.
The use of canned fruit juices
greatly simplifies this extra morn
ing treat. Canned pineapple, grape
fruit or tomato (oh, yes, the noble

are especially appetizing. They
should be placed in the refr.gera-
tor the night before so that they
will be well chilled for serving.
Orange juice. unless the canned
variety is chosen, will quickly de-
teriorate if exposed to the air.
Therefore it should be squeezed i'm
mediately preceding service.
And here is another tip. Ii you
are troubled for want of sleep, try
drinking glass of hot pineapple
juice just before retiring. This
steaming beverage is also excellent
in allaying early cold symptoms.
There are other times in the
days routine when fruit juices can
appease hunger, at the same time
building up bodily resistance
against cold infection. During mid
morning or early in the afternoon

Women often complain of an iron
taste when skillets are washed.
This situation arises from incor-
rect washing and drying. Never
wash the lid, simply wipe off ex-
cess grease and moisture with
paper towels and season" with a
small amount of fresh grease rub
bed well into all crevices. Store the
lid and the skillet separately, with
the lid lying in an up-turned posi-
ton.
70 remove grease and food par
ticles from a skillet, you may be
very old fashioned only l don't
think you will consider it quite
clean, and treat the pot or pan as
you would the lid. Because of the
fiat unridged surface of these con-
tainers it is quite all right to sub
ject them to thorough securing,
provided they are well rinsed after
ward and dried over heat SO that
there is no chance of rust or dis
coloration. Never allow a skillet to
stand uncleaned overnight and
never soak it in water.
A quick cleansing method that
never fails to remove all grease
and food residue consists in filling
the skillet with hot water adding
one or two tablespoons of securing
powder and bringing to a boil. A
few strokes with stiff brush will
take out all soil, after which the
pan may be rinsed in hot water,
dried with a towel (there will be
no accumulated grease to discolor
the fabric), and then placed over
heat so that all moisture will be
absorbed.

fore the process is finished. Then
add enough stock and mushroom
liquor to fill the skillet about an
inch, stir in one-half teaspoon of
Worcestershire sauce. a pinch of
hyrne and a small amount Of
crushed bay leaf. Half cup of
dried mushrooms, already soaked,
give a wonderful flavor, as does
two tablespoons of tomato ketchup,
or a sliced fresh tomato.
Simmer slowly until tender, or
about one and one-half hours. The
sauce should be thick enough to
serve, or it may require the addi-
tion of a thin paste Of -four and
water. Avoid this if possible as it
is detrimental to flavor.
