Cranberries A Tradition
SAUCE INTRIGUING TO THE EYE AND
TASTE TOO

In these days of fine and numerous
recipes, it is possible for the house
wife to serve the cranberries for
Thanksgiving dinner in many and var
ious ways. There is always, of course
cranberry jelly, and cranberry sauce
which most people know how to make.
These recipes will be found most in
triguing and will add touch of nov
city to this traditional dinner. First,
however, we give the recipe for sauce,
just for good luck:
CRANBERRY SAUCE
l pound a cups) cranberries
2 cups water
liz to cups sugar
Boil the sugar and water together
5 minutes; add cranberries and boil
without stirring until all the skins pop
open (five minutes is usually enough).
Remove from the fire when the pop
ping stops and allow the sauce to re-
main in vessel undisturbed until cool.

Poerty Corner
OBEDIENCE

While on the street the other day
1 passed beggar gaunt and gray,
His clothes were soiled and torn;
He looked quite helpless and in need
But l had heard its sometimes greed
Though looking so forlorn.
1 never want a dime to stray
For I've no dimes to throw away,
Just then small voice said
"You never have been lame or blind,
Nor have you ever stood in line,
To ask for daily bread.
It's not your work to judge a man
Your orders are, do what you can
To lend hand.
And if your dimes should go, astray
You were obedient anyway
To Gods command.

your digestive tract clear. If you have
reason to believe there is anything
wrong with your system, consult your
physician.
Now We come to cleanliness. There
are three major methods of cleansing
the scalp. The most thorough is the
shampoo. But obviously most women
cannot shampoo the hair every day
So they depend upon the next best
means. which is brushing. This should
be done not only daily but twice
daily. Now the third method Is the

why, Elizabeth! And I thought
that you loved kindergarten"
Il did once. but not now. Any
way, don't guess I'll feel so we'll in
the morning.
Expect to have a pain in your
little finger nail, Betty"
Elizabeth examined the small men,
Der carefully mo. I don't guess so,
but maybe will have a headache. ="
"Why?'
Il think maybe the music teacher
will come"
But you like to sing"
Eyes, do, but she don't like me
to sing. She says. You little girl
with the curly hair and the pink bow,
stop singing That was me. First
I didn't know she meant me. So
Miss Ethel said to me to stop, and
so I stopped. And then the music
teacher came over to me and she said
Sing Jack and Jill went up the hill
like the way I do And I did and
she said. mean-like, You're a marrow
bone. Don't sing any more unless I
tell you to- So I guess tomorrow
maybe won't feel so well and III just
stay home and rest up"
Maybe she won't 60 to school to-
morrow"
Maybe she will. I don't know.
She can come any time she likes be-
cause she is bigger than Miss Ethel"
Il see. What was 1t the teacher
called you?"
She said. Stop singing. You're 4
marrow-bone.'
Him. don't see anything bony
about you, my DEAR
Maybe It's a sickness. That's why
I know I won't feel 50 good in the
morning."
Suppose call Miss Ethel and ask
her what the teacher meant, and find
out about the music teacher and
everything"
"All right If you do. I'm BEGIN
ming to feel kind of bad right now"
The kindergarten teacher listened
to mothers story and then she laughed
80 loudly that Elizabeth heard her
where she sat on the sofa feeling 50
bad.
The music teacher comes in twice
a year to test the children's voices,
that's all. She won't be back until
next term. Elizabeth is a monotone,
so the teacher stopped her singing.
She wanted to hear the others. It is
too bad Elizabeth was worried. Please
tell her that she sings nicely and
that monotone does not mean any
thing bad. 1t just means she sings
without ups and downs in her voice.
When she is older she will have them
and the music teacher will be de-
lighted"
"M-m-m, but she did call me mar
row-bone and made me stop singing.
If she isn't coming back don't care.
Can I sing?"
Little children should sing with the
group even If they do not sing in
hormony. Children sing for the Joy
Of singing, not for the pleasure Of
the audience. That comes later. And
it is unwise to pin label Of any
sort. good, bad, Indifferent, on a child.

tractive. Pastel chi1ons with two
contrasting colors used for the sash
are pleasing. These are made with
surplice neck and full skirts. Pale

offerings and white satin with ecru

distinctive and particularly suited to
the brunette. This recalls a new type
of slip that We found in one shop with
a camisole top of 2-inch lace insertion
that is specially designed for wear
under sheer blouses Also new in
slips is the use of very narrow scallop-
edged shoulder strap instead Of a plain
one. This was found on set in
which the gown used three Of these
straps on the shoulder.

There are also slips Of the same ma

a comfortable backless slip for street

be popular here as the season ad-
vances.
Shorter hemlines have brought back

cleansing agent. There are special
tonics for dry hair and other tonics
for oily hair. The secret of success
full application of such a preparation
is to use it according to directions.
Usually half teaspoonful is sufficient
for the entire head. If too much is
used the hair looks dank and too
moist. Apply with small pledget of
cotton directly to scalp and try to
avoid getting on the hair, then re-
move every drop of it by rubbing
turkish towel along the partings. If
you are using the correct tonic for
your needs and applying 1t properly
it should not only cleanse and stimu-
late the scalp. but it should also give
the hair healthful sheen.

the matter of an allowance.
OF course, she must take into con-
sideration the fact that stocking up
on all new supplies, starting from
scratch as it were, is liable to shoot
holes all through the budget, Just at
the beginning. This outlay should
be absorbed gradually, as the weeks
90 on, and a balanced budget is put
into ef1ect-but the first figures are
apt to be pretty much Of shock,
both to her and to the man of the
house. Therefore, to prevent q storm,
she had better have itemized lists
and plenty Of good reasons at hand!
THE Bureau Of Home Economics of
the United States Department of
Agriculture has worked up a sample
plan of food bucgeting that is simple
and easy to understand. To get the
best nutritive returns for money spent
there are certain foods that must be
included. and here is the way they
apportion them:
For example. let's take family Of
two with an income of ST 900 to $1,000
Each week the diet planner in this
family will probably have about $6
to 81 to spend for food With a WE'LL
thought-out spending program she can
get an interesting variety of food
And she can get diet that will supply
the different nutrients in sufficient
quantities to keep her family in good
condition with a surplus for safety.
In general. her food money will 20
for five different kinds of foods. They
are milk and its products-frlits and
vegetables-eggs, meat, poultry and
fish-cereals, breadstuf1s, sweets and
fatty goods-and accessories such as
tea, coffee, seasonings.
The first group of foods, milk and
milk products. offers more than any
other single group to good nutrition,
A pint Of milk for each adult and a
quart for a child each day is generally
recommended. But of course this will
not all be taken as fluid milk Some
Of it will be used in cooking. Part
of it will be in the form of cheese and
coffee cream.
Getting table cream off the milk
will leave the valuable milk solids for
use in cooking. 1t may be better to
buy other milk for cooking in the
cheaper forms, such as evsporated
milk. This leaves more money for
vegetables. fruits and meats. But how
ever the milk order is varied. for the
week it will be equivalent to about
Z quarts of fluid milk for these two.

elbow. The alternative to this type is
the surplice closing that ties on one
side, which Is always a favorite and
preferred by many to the upper fas-
tening.
As the fabrics are less expensive
than those used in the winter, so are
the coats themselves, and beginning at
a low OF 50 they ascend the price
scale gradually so that when YOU
reach the $40 price range the gar
ments have assumed trousseau ele-
gance.
For warm weather, however, the
practical, inexpensive garment is
good choice. Such a one is the black
and white pique shown above, which
also comes in several other colors,
This laps over and buttons snugly at
the waist. The trimming of cotton
fringe is effective Later this coat
may be taken to the beach, where it
will give still more service. In fact,
this is true of great many of the
heavier cotton housecoats made of

to the touch are the rayons which
are most often shown with the un-
belted princess lines and Upper fas-

grounds are the order of the day, and
1t is just a matter of choosing your
color. Thin taffetas are used in the
same manner. Organdy with a per-
manent finish that includes a crinkle,
like seersucker. is nice in white with
