Manners
of the
Moment

THIS whole problem of the man
helping his girl friend on with her
things Is getting as complicated AZ the
subway system. Take the business Of
putting on fur piece. Now there are
men who think that putting on . fur
piece is like putting on coat, and they
Just love to do it for = lady.
But little do they know, the poor old
die -hards.
Putting on fur piece, as any woman
would tell them, Is like arranging .
coiffure. And the average man just
can't do it. He gets heads and tails all
mixed up, and when he's through the
thing looks like an Hawaiian lei on
q prize fighter.
Perhaps We should even encourage
these surviving knights to make their
gestures. But couldn't they make them
by getting the fur pieces from the
racks and handing them to the ladies
with nice flourishes? Then couldn't
they say, Its your to drape, my dear"
or something like that? And then
couldn't the ladies put them on them
selves?
The fur pieces, As well as the hadiea
would look much nicer.

America
Debating
Fashions S
H ollywood Rather
Than Paris Now
Setting Styles.
In Washjnai
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THERE'S enough patriotism In this
old soul to make me thrill to the
thought that America is fast estab-
fishing fashion leadership. Once
upon time tif it sounds like fable,
we won't dispute it, anyway, once
upon . time our continental cousins
looked down on W-literally down.
They expected to find fashion only At
our feet. They've always admitted
that Americans are the most beau
tifully shod women. But now! We're
beautiful from head to heels, and head
over heels!
The other day the buyer for . dress
department Of one Of our largest and
smartest stores told me that for 1895
and the pre-Spring sales this year
the cinema dress department outsold
all imports and their copies by stag
gering proportions. The reason?
More and more women are looking
to Hollywood for fashion news, in
stead Of craning their necks for news
from abroad"
Further discussion revealed that
there's sense to this attitude because
there's sense to cinema fashions So
many pictures portray the average
American working girl and our pac-
lures are 20 real that the styles Al
ways fit the role. Hollywood cou-
turiers realize that it would be \ mis-
take to set . pace that Is ridiculous.
A sane class-consciousness Is their
guide. and as = result the average
young woman can adopt the average
cinema styles without = strain or .
drain upon her pocketbook.
And now, back to our head over
heels" theory. AS pacemaker for
hair styles America very quickly passed
the cautious. crawling stage We
learned to walk with phenomenal speed
and ease. In fact, we're making prog
ress by proverbial leaps and bounds. "
So much 80 that leading French
hair stylist on his recent return to
Paris from this country is quoted ~
saying: Heretofore I have come to
America bringing my Partisan concep-
ton of the coiffure. This year, for the
first time, find the hair-dos Of Amer
ican women so chic and tasteful that I
am going home to teach some Of them
to French women"
I have sneaking suspicion that
leading American hairdressers whose
creed has become American hair
styles for American women" are re-
sponsible for those "chic and tasteful
hair-dos" It doesn't matter much
whether our continental cousins care
about adopting our fashions. It does
tickle the cookies Of this columns s
heart that America Is debating, for =
change.

"TF ALL the overlooked and under
done meats in the country we're
put end to end they would make
line which would reach goodness only
knows how far Fortunately cooks
who 'muddle through meat prepara-
tions are given decent privacy, so that
the truth will never be fully revealed
Science and education, moreover,
are collaborating to reduce the high
accident rate with roasts and other
meat cookery. One instrument which
they have contributed to the cause
OF Better Roasts for Everybody Is the
roast meat thermometer 1t has
taken the guess work out of such
cookery.
Before its advent, the housewife
had no way of knowing exactly what
was happening to her roast. Some
cookbooks give roasting time of so
many minutes to the pound. Others
advise about how hot the oven should
be- A few realize that the cook needs
both time and temperature guidance.
But all such suggestions are quite
frankly only rough approximations.
The regulator is helpful but it's not
entirely accurate. The oven thermome-
ter is valuable supplement to the
regulator but tells only how hot the
oven air is, not how rare or how well
done the interior of the roast in that
oven is at any given moment.
Shape, as well as weight, affects the
cooking time. For instance, rolled
rib roast will not cook at the same rate
as standard rib roast. Hence min
utes to the pound rules and oven heat
recorders are insufficient guides.
"A roast meat thermometer thrust
Into the roast's middle supplies the
missing link in the information. A
glance at this faithful indicator can
tell the cook when that roast has
reached the particular stage of rare
ness or doneness which is most salts
flying to herself and to her family.

"CUCH thermometer is valuable for
roasting any well fattened, tender
cut of beef, lamb, or pork 1t is per-

of beef roasts where rare, medium,
or well done state is the goal But
large sirloin tip and rump roasts of
beef are also best managed with such
a device. 1t is no less useful with cured
or fresh ham, since it is essential to
have such piece cooked to the center
yet not have it overlooked.
The roast meat thermometer is not
a new instrument. Its use goes back
almost 35 years to the experimental
kitchens OF the University of Illinois.

A GROUP of young girls asks me
~ to give them few tips on
~ how to win out with boys
a Well, naturally, the first thing
about girl that hits boy in the eye
is her personal appearance. Make
yourself as good looking as you can,
but in doing that don't turn yourself
into a freak, as so many girl do.
It is all right to help nature by
using cosmetics if you do it artistically,
but don't paint yourself up like barn
door. Go easy on the lipStick and
long lacquered fingernails. Few men
want to kiss lips that look like slice
of raw meat. Women are enough like
cats, anyway, without emphasizing
the resemblance by growing claws.
Don't think you will be mistaken for
Garbo If you have a slinky hair cut
It may make you look like the wrath
OF hades!
Study your type and wear the kind
of clothes that compliment you, in
stead of something that brings out
your every bad point just because 1t
Is the latest fashion. Above all, be
neat. Never wear mussy finery OF
soiled lingerie. And don't be sparing
of soap and water. It will get you a
lot further with men than putting
perfume behind your ears.
nRESs prettily, but not extrava-
gantly. Many girl cuts herself
out of good time by looking so expen-
sive that boy feels he cannot afford
to take her out. You can't ask the
Queen Of Sheba to ride in a flivver
or a girl to go to the movies if she
is all dolled up for gala night at the
grand opera. Still less can a chap
ask girl to marry him If he figures
out that his salary wouldn't keep hel
in fancy shoes.

put on airs. The one thing that every
man on earth hates in a woman Is
artificiality. You can take no surel
way of soaring off a prospective date
than by telling him how you dote on
the Einstein theory or how you pine
for the atmosphere Of dear Paree

thermometers in their work with meats
to insure accuracy. Then scientists in
other laboratories proceeded to use
them.
The Bureau of Home Economics
people in Washington saw no reason
why this helpful instrument should
be confined to research work; so 10
years ago they wrote various manu-
facturers suggesting that they con-
struct meat thermometer for the
housewife. 1t would have to be much
less expensive than the laboratory de-
vice and more easily read.
"A few manufacturers responded, 50
that today a reasonably priced meat
thermometer Is available for home
use
"As a meat thermometer safeguards
the roast against over or undercooking
1t is definitely an economy purchase.
Overlooking means shrinkage in
meats and a resultant reduction in
serving quantities. 1t means loss of
juicineSs and various other qualities
that make the roast savory. II
drlppingS are utilized in some way,
much Of the food value can Of course,
be conserved, but there's no way to
bring back the lost servings and
palatability to the roast itself.
X
A S TO the roaster, specialists In
meat cookery at the Bureau OF
Home Economics say that it doesn' t
matter much what material it is made
Of. With the approved roasting
methods of today the meat itself
doesn't come in direct contact with
the roaster bottom anyhow. The meat
is set on rack so as to be up out of
the drippings of fat and juice, and
not stick to the bottom of the con-
tainer
Any rack may be used to set the
roast on. 1t need not have been
specially constructed for the con-
tainer you happen to be using as
roaster One like that used for COOL
ing the cake will serve the roasting
purpose nicely.
The roaster, then, may be made Of
sheet iron, enamelware. aluminium,
stainless steel, or tin, as far as the
foods specialists care. They are more
particular about the construction Of
such a utensil than they are about its
material. The surface of a roaster
should be smooth and the corners
rounded A roaster with sharp cor
ners, with sides Joined to the bottom
at sharp angles, means hours OF extra
time spent in cleaning.
Rooster covers, except sometimes
for fowl, are now little used. A
covered roast shrinks more than an
uncovered one. For the less tender
meats such treatment is, of course,
necessary. But the already tender
roast should not receive such Spartan
treatment
Meat specialists are more critical
of the utensils for surface cooking
of meats and for the oven handling
of the less tender cuts than they
are for the roasting utensil. Meats
which require long slow cooking with
steam should always be cooked in
thick-walled utensils with close fit
ting lids.
The Dutch oven is still one of the
most useful of kitchen utensils for
this long, slow cooking. It Is so
called because the Pilgrims brought
it over from Holland, choosing it be-
cause Of its wide variety of uses.
Some firms recently brought out
a deep, heavy skillet of aluminium
with a tight fitting Ida utensil
which can serve as a Dutch oven
and 50 do double duty. = ="

Roast Meat Assumes New Importance Culinary World
The Old Gardener Saws:

II stakes are to be used when
dahlias are planted, they should
be set in place when the tuber
goes into the ground. It Is not
absolutely necessary to use stakes:
out they give heater appearance
to the garden and prevent the
plants being blown down in
storms. Good stout stakes, two
inches square, serve the purpose
well. II painted green, they add
much to the appearance OF the
garden. Where stakes are not
easily obtained, plants may be
kept dwarf by pinching out the
centers when they are a few
inches high. This will make
them bushy, but will tend to
keep them low. Naturally, it is
advisable to keep the ground
around the dahlias free from
grass and weeds. This cam be
done by cultivation or by the use
of heavy mulch Of peat moss
or by surrounding the plants
with mulching paper.
