Summer
Time to

Easier to Do Without
Rich Food During
Hot Weather.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.
FARLY last Spring, I had a note
from rnadar Sauirn.

! q,
from a reader saying:
If l can't reduce during Lent,
then l give up because self
denial is easier now than at any other
time"
feel the same way about reducing
during the Summer. If you cannot
reduce now, you might as we'll give
up the idea. For. though there aren't
the same soul-strring ideals TO in
spire no, thank you" if the will is
there 1t can be done. Certainly the
hot, Sultry weather is conducive
enough to passing up heavier foods,
rich desserts, pastries, fats, fried foods.
1t may be little more difficult to
deny oneself ice cream (which. as
you probably know. is very rich in

cuse is that they are thirst -uuench-

yet wisely. 1t is a mistake to sacrifice
entirely any one of the five essential
food elements. Do you know what
they are? Do you know how manv
calorles you need for the amount of

The subject of reducing by diet
has been covered in great detail IN
THIS column. Because of popular re-
! quest, the information has been COM
piled into booklet called Reduce by
Diet and this is available for 10

The booklet does not promise

times. There seems to be some con-
fusion as to the best way to clean
them-so the bureau goes into detail
on the subject:
X X
I'm THE first place the refrigerator
itself is not always kept in tip-top
condition. Scrupulous cleanliness is
essential If it is to do its work
properly. A small spot of spilled food
plus the right bacteria or mold spores
will speedily develop into a big bad
odor and result in contaminated
food. Hence all spilled foods should
be wiped up at once.
The refrigerator should have at
least one bath week, with sal soda
sal soda to four quarts Of water
Then the interior should be wiped
dry with clean cloth
Some women habituallv use sudsy
hot water for this bath, in a vague
way feeling that hot water will dis
infect the refrigerator. But there Just
isn't any way to subject the refrig-
orator interior to hot enough water
long enough to steriliZe it. So these
conscientious women might just as
we'll use the cold Water-with its sal
soda-and keep themselves and the
refrigerator cool
For ice refrigerators a strong sal
soda water poured down the drain
will remove any slime accumulated
there.
The rule OF cleanliness applies
equally to dehydrators. Unless they
are cleaned periodically. foods placed
therein will spoil.
It's a good idea to wipe off the
moisture that collects on the re-
frigerator walls. Moisture encourages
the growth of some cro-organisms
even at refrigerator temperatures.
i N THE second place, some women
are not informed as to the best
way to handle given vegetable before
they put it into the refrigerator. nor
as to what part of the refrigerator is
the most advantageous spot for it.
The first basic principle of re-
frigerator care of vegetables is: See
that they are clean, crisp and in good
condition before they 90 into the re-
frlgerator.
If the vegetable is wilted, merely
putting it into cold place will not
give it back its freshness Whiting is
due to loss of water content. There
fore. to freshen vegetable. put it into
cold water and revive it before you
put it into the refrigerator. OF course,
the vegetable can be put at once into
the refrigerator in the bowl of re-

Snowy Handbags in Vogue.

White and pastel-colored handbags
used to be luxury, but now that they
come in so many attractive washable
styles there's no reason to deny your
self the pleasure of owning one of
these dainty Summer wardrobe ac-
cessorles.
Handbags made of calf, pigskin,
grained alligator and lizard can be
kept spick and span if they are gone
over each day with cloth rubbed over
a damp cake of soap or squeezed out
of thick lather of tepid suds and
then wiped dry. Those with remov-
able cotton or linen covers can be
kept immaculate by swishing the
covers through warm soapsuds in the
bath room wash basin or by putting
them into the weekly wash without
further ado.

quently has occasion to send
flowers to the families of deceased
clients or to the funerals. and up to
the present time the order to the
florist has been given on the telephone
and the card handwritten by the
florist. One of the executives feels,
however, that this is perhaps not a
very nice method of sending the
company's expression of sympathy and
that it might be better for us to have
cards engraved with a sympa thetic
sentiment and the company's name
and provide the florist with these.
I myself feel that such an engraved
expression would be lacking in feeling
and an unnecessary expense since it
contributes nothing. But we would
like to know how you feel about this

fine salary. Experts are always in
demand. A slack worker is always
out of Job.
So put your heart and your back
into your work If you are a ste
nographer, memorize a page of the
dictionary every night so that you
will not only know how to spell words,
but also their meaning and appli-
cation. If you are a saleswoman,
learn all about the line of goods you
are selling. Make yourself an authority
on fabrics and style. Nine tenths of
the woman shoppers want somebody
to settle their Wavering minds and
tell them what to buy.
CULTIVATE good business manners
Be friendly. but not familiar
Don't call customer "dearie." Don't
be supercillious and Wither a woman
with scorn who asks for a cheap
article. Don't be bored and indiffer-
ent and let customer wait while you
finish telling another clerk about the
swell party you went to last night
Don't be naughty and condescending
and burn up fat woman with your
disdain because she has a 54-inch
bust measure. She may be going to
buy half a dozen stylish stouts Make
your customer feel that you are per-
sonally interested in her getting what
she wants and who will always come
back to you. So you will build up a
clientele
Don't carry your feelings into bus
iness. Don't apologize for working and
tell all and sundry how rich and aris-
tocratic your family used to be and
how you never expected to come to
this. Nobody cares. Don't burst into
tears every time your work is criticized.
Don't expect men to show you the
same politeness in an Office that they
would in drawing room. Don't have
to be handled with gloves. Don't
get into Office politics. And don't fall
in love with your boss or have firta-
ton with a fellow clerk.
Don't think that you can make sex
appeal take the place of good work.
Perhaps there are men who will put up
with bad spelling, smeary letters and
incompetent salesmanship from a
platinum blond who rolls her eyes
at them, but such are few and far
between. Business is one thing and
philandering is another, and most of
the girls who have love affairs with
their employers lose both their boy
friends and their Jobs.

After you went out he got down

Big brothers and sisters have to
