Protect Your
Skin From
The Sun
Vogue This Season
Is for a Soft Tan,
Not Mahogany
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

All you fortunate darlings, who
either live in the South or migrate
there once icy winds begin to blow,
should take reasonable precautions
to keep your, skin softly textured
and no deeper in hue than what
is fashionably known as Bermuda
beige.
For our new fragile beauty can
not condone the miserable tans and
mahoganys which were so long the
vogue. More than one lassie dis
covered that her skin texture was
considerably ruined from too crisp
a burning, and older women have
spent hours of time and sizeable
investments trying to recapture skin
loveliness after a seasons tropical
folly.
This new rosy type of tan is
light, glowing shade of sun coat
ing glowing because natural
healthy color peeks through the
suns healing kiss. So the cur
rent problem is to seep in vitamin
D without discoloring your skin
OF course, if you wish, you can
smartly carry parasol or wear a
fetching sunbonnet to shade your
face, but even then a thin protec-
tive skin lotion should be the rule
of the day. For both the steady
reflection of the sun, and the sud-
den change of temperature from
North to South, can raise havoc
with your skin beauty.
Perhaps the thought of tropics
and sun and holidaying brings to
mind a delightful lotion made from
luscious green Persian lines, for
find myself wanting to tell you lucky
-worshippers about it.
Rich in minerals and sun vita
minis this almost gossamer concoc-
ton seems to instantly quench the
thirst of a dry or crisped skin, as
a savory fresh lime -ade quenches
an actual thirst And what is more,
it keeps your skin fragrantly moist
ened for hours after it's applica-
ton and prohibits the persistent
sun from cutting beauty -robbing
capers.
Less fortunate darlings who must
stay and brave the icy winds will
also find loyal friend in this
emollient. for it defies the wind as
we'll as the sun. And its delicate
consistency makes a splendid foun-
dation for rouge and powder. Two
handfuls of. pennies will buy
ounces, which will last you months
which is another reason I felt
the urge to tell you about it!
Write me, care of this paper,
and inclose self addressed,

wish to know the name Of this
protective cream. 1t is sold at
all good cosmetic counters.

Old English Roast

OF course you will have your meat
market man remove the bones and
roll the roast. (Be sure to carry
the bones home with you to enrich
the gravy) You will want to know,
too, that two-rib roast will serve
six to eight people generously. For
four people one rib is sufficient.
Now take damp cloth and wipe
the roast, then spread it generously
with a good, rich, prepared mus
tard. Start the roasting in a hot
oven (425 degrees F) for 20 minutes.
Then lower temperature to 325 de-
grees F. and roast, uncovered, to
the desired degree-rare, medium
or well done-allowing about 20
minutes per pound for a rare roast,
about Is minutes for medium, 80 to
IS minutes for well done. Baste
occasionally with drippings during
the roasting to prevent meat from
drying out. Roasting uncovered
gives the meat its crisp. delicious
crust.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;

DEAR MISS NOVEL;
I have an old rosewood Victorian
sofa and two chairs that are in ex-
cellent condition. They are covered
with horsehair which until this time
has been covered with slip cover.
wish to reupholster these pieces
and would like advice on what sort
of a fabric to use on them.
MRS. C. D. S.
Answer:
You will find in the shops a
tapestry like fabric in black with
tiny clusters of old fashioned flowers
in rose. blue and gold which is just
made for your chairs. This also
comes in other background colors if
your room cannot stand so much
black. There are many striped ma
terials of a dull satin-like surface
with candy stripes that are most
attractive You will also find a piece
of material which is a copy of old
needlepoint with a garland of flowers
on black ground. This comes with
decoration specially designed for
back, seat and arms and carries out
the spirit of the Victorian very we'll
You will find all of these at the
larger stores within a medium price.

1t must have been lovely in the
old DAYS, with elegant ladies draw
ing up in dashing sleighs drawn by
prancing and sleek horses. Bells
must have jingled the snow would
have lent criSpness and sparkle to
the air-and marketing for Christ
mas must have been a social event.
1t is fun to imagine, and to vision

perhaps.
E wonder, though-what those
lovely ladies would have thought of
tho wealth Of fruits and vegetables
and rare meats so casually displayed
nowadays? Then, the few luxur-
iest TO be found must have come
from distant lands at tremendous
expense-and the oranges and tam
gerlnes for the Christmas stockings
were counted off one by one, like
so many nuggets of gold. The shades
of those olden-day shoppers must
really look upon the present scene
with considerable awe!
Present Scene
Always Fine.
looking the situation over myself,
this morning, found relatively little
change from last weeks report Lamb
and pork continue to be good buys
in the meat line, with bacon perhaps
a shade higher in some grades.
Frying and baking chickens are fine,
and reasonable-and little pan fish,
so sweet and juicy, are selling at
very low cost.
Strawberries are with us again
this week end, but still in the luxury
class. However, all your citrus
fruits are excellent, and very low as
to price. Big plump persimmons,
and Grimes golden apples looked
tempting, and grapes have never
seemed finer, or the punches more
beautifully shaped. There are plenty
of tart little cumquats, and, just
in case you like to put up your own
preserves of them, am including
a recipe for doing So. Peas are still
way high, and not too good, how
ever, now is the time to fall back
on the good canned varieties. Spin
acb is good, and low in price, and
so are most of the other vegetables
except summer squash which took
a surprising turn for the higher
brackets.

Dorothy Dix Says
Could Couples Stop Divorces by
Having Frank Discussions?

We try to dignity and justify
divorce by pretending that it is a
great tragedy brought about by some
unforgivable wrong that a husband
or wife has done to the other. But
this Is an alibi we concoct to save
our faces. In reality, we all know
that where there is one divorce for
infidelity or brutality or any other
major sin, there are a hundred
for peevishness, grumpiness, selfish
ness, boredom, the craving for ad-
venture, or just because a husband
or wife loses his or her taste for
the party of the other part.
Divorce is bad enough, Heaven
knows, but I often wonder if it is
not less painful and less demoralz-
ing than those marriages in which
disgruntled husband and wife
drag along through the years the
chain that binds them together,
while they quarrel and argue and
antagonize each other and fill each
others lives with bitterness and
strife, Divorce is the surgeons
knife that cuts away a gangrened
limb. Sometimes the patient recov-
ers from the operation and has years
of happy life. Sometimes he dies.
But in either case he escapes the
long-drawn-out torture of those
who make marriage an earthly pur-
gatory for each other.
Now if these fighting couples were
villains, if they found a sadistic
pleasure in making each other mis-
cradle, there might be some logic in
their conduct. But such is not the
case. Nearly always they are good,
kind, conscientious men and women,
anxious to do their duty and oftener
than not they still love the husbands
and wives they so mistreat.
This raises the question: Why do
they do it? I think the answer is:
Because they don't know that they
do it. Apparently husbands and
wives never get a closeup of them
selves after marriage. In the days
of courtship they have lovely visions
of themselves as perfect husbands
and wives, but after marriage they

DEAR MISS NOWELL-We have
room off the back porch about
8 by 10 feet, that we wish to make
into gear room for storage of
skis, skates, sleds and heavy wraps.
The room is unheated so very little
time can be spent there. Can you
give us any advice on any require
ments for good storage for the
preservation of equipment?
MR.. AND MRS. j. H. B.
Answer:
Plan to place most of this equip
ment in racks on the wall to keep
your small floor space clear. Skis
should have clamp holding toe and
heel together with a wooden block
about 3 inches set between them
where the foot fits into the binding
This keeps the proper spring in the
skis. Wooden pegs set into the wall
will hold them off the floor. Wooden
pegs will hold snoWshoes on the wall
A toboggan should lie fiat on the
floor. or if on the wall, elamped as
fiat as possible so that the bottom
will not warp. Shelves will hold
skates and ski and high-top boots.
I would suggest long, narrow table
which will be useful in polishing
skates, waxing skis and oiling boots.
mittens will make it possible to
change the heavy things to house
equipment before entering.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
1 have shallow bay window in
my dining room which would like
to fill with plants. Is there any
equipment necessary for this? Should
I use window boxes or individual
pots and what Towering plants do
you suggest? MRS. F. D. G.
Answer:
First find out how much sunlight
you will get in this window and ask
florist what plants will do best
there. A north window will grow
only certain things, while a south
east one will grow almost anything.
Suggest you use window boxes on a
shelf at the sill height and pots on
glass shelves at suitable intervals
above this. Plan to keep the tenn
| perature between go and 10 degrees
Keep the air humid by pans of water
on the radiators. BY selecting the
proper plants for the amount of
sunlight they will receive, with the
aid of plant food and sprays you will
be able to keep the window filled
and attractive.

"A Birthday
Party for
Children
Keep Menu Simple
And Portions on
The Slim Side
By ANGELO PATRI.

A children's party is easy to give
if you know how, but it is fearful
experience if you do not. A few
hints gained by painful experience
might help.
The hardest minute of the party
and the one on which success is
most likely to hang, is that one
when the guest enters the house
carrying his gift, carefully wrapped
up, with anxious and triumphant
care. He is anxious to get it there
safely and he is triumphant in the
pride of his offering it.
Somebody must be at the door
to welcome him, take the gift, help
him with his wraps. and hand him
over, with that triumphant. pride
full feeling intact. to another some
body who at once gives him some
thing pleasant to do.
I found that it was a painful
mistake to insist that the guest walk
to the head of the room, make a
formal bow and offer formal con-
gratulations to the host or hostess
of the occasion, first thing. That
must wait until the hostess is 18
and the host about 20. They can
all stand it then, but that is about
all they can do, even at that age
So let that pass and get the guest
into whirl of activity at once.
Hand him strip of colored paper
and tell him to match it with an
other strip just like it, somewhere
in the room, and he will find some
thing he likes tied to it. Tied to
that strip somewhere, in plain sight
is a toy balloon, for him to blow
up. 1t makes q fat pig or big
sausage, and sometimes it makes
wierd and delightful (to young ears
noises. Noise is an essential in
gredient of joy in any childrens S
party.
AS soon as the guests have ar
rived in number, offer games. These
are selected with reference to age,
experience and skill of the guests
The eating of the birthday cake
and the ice cream is always the
heart of the party. Keep the menu
simple. Serve no sticky food. Do
not allow any child to overeat. STAY
on the slim side always and don't
mix the drinks. Serve milk, grade
A, certified, and water. 1t is better
to keep the food down to the SIM
plest form and the slimmest por-
tions possible and still have it q
party. Mothers do not like to have
sick children on their hands. It
is hardly fair to them or to the
children to allow the guests to make
themselves i'll. 1t is the grown-up
hosts fault if this happens.
Prepare for the party by clear
ing the house of all fragile things
including spindle-legged chairs and
wobbly tables. Lift or cover rugs
that are likely to be damaged. Make
two bathrooms easily accessible
Don't overdress either the table or
the birthday child. Keep simple
Prepare to enjoy whatever happens
and the party will be a success.

Now for our Sunday
Meal planning.
To get down to brass tacks," after
all this DEPRESSION, we must really
put our minds on what the menu
for Sunday dinner shall be. With
all the holiday meals ahead, it is
wise to sail close to the wind, and
not over-extend the budget at this
point. So here is a suggestion:
SUNDAY LUNCHEON MENU.
Gumbo Creole
Melba Toast Celery
Ham Rolls NTH Peas
Buttered Carrots
Toasted English Mullins
Tomato, Green Pepper Salad
Rice Cream, Strawberry Sauce
Coffee
HAM ROLLS WITH PEAS.
!. l can large peas
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
4 cup milk
q cups American cheese, cut In
small pieces
1s teaspoon salt
4 slices boiled ham, Is Inch thick.
Drain peas, reserving 4 cup
liquor. Melt butter in frying pan,
blend in the flour. Add the milk
slowly, and the 4 cup pea liquor
Cook over low flame, stirring con-
stantly until thick. Remove from
the fire, add cheese and salt, and
stir until cheese is melted. Com
bine peas with cheese sauce, and
place a large spoonful of the mix
ture on each slice of ham. Roll
up and secure with toothpicks.
Place in buttered casserole and sur
round ham rolls with remaining pea
mixture. Bake in a hot oven for
about 20 minutes.
RICE CREAM, STRAWBERRY
SAUCE.
Cook one-half cup of rice in water
in the usual way, until very soft
Drain, and mash through a coarse
sieve, with potato masher. Add l
tablespoon vanilla and tablespoons
sugar. Stir well, and fold in pint
whipping cream, stiff1y beaten. Dis
solve the contents of one envelope
of plain gelatine, according to direc-
tions on the package, and stir into
the mixture. Turn into a mold,
and set in the icebox to harden.
This may be made the day before
it is used, if desired. Serve with
preserved or canned strawberries
and their juice, to which a little
lemon juice and tablespoon cherry
brandy have been added.

never check up on their perform
ances to see whether they have de-
livered the goods or not.
They don't make the effort to get
along with their matrimonial part
ners that they do with their busi-
ness partners. They don't think it
worthwhile to waste any tact, or
even politeness, in dealing with a
mere husband or wife. They don t
even try to find out if there is
something about them that irri-
tates their mates and that keeps
them at cross-purposes, and that
makes every word a fighting word,
so that neither one can say tits a
pleasant day. without starting some
thing.
Perhaps the cure of this appalling
situation. in which the punishment
is always so much greater than the
crime, is just a little frankness be-
tween husbands and wives. Perhaps
If the husband could tell the wife
just what it was about her that was
disillusioning him and driving him
to other women, she would mend
her ways. Perhaps if the wife could
tell the husband what he did that
got on her nerves and made her
think longingly of Reno, he would
refrain from doing it.
But the husband does not dare
tell his wife that the reason he
has ceased kissing her is because
he has no appetite for cold cream.
That the reason he puts on his hat
and steps out after dinner is be-
cause she never reads anything, or
has anything to talk about except
the price of butchers meat and the
babys formula. That he is so. fed
up with being nagged about what
he shall eat, and putting on his
overshoes. and being reminded to
watch out for automobiles, that he
is coming to hate her as a tyrant
instead of loving her as a wife.
Nor can wife tell her husband
that the reason she has got cranky
and hard to live with is because
she is starving for love and f1attery
and he takes her for granted. That
the reason she is snappy at break
fast is because it irritates her to
hear him sing in his bath. That
the way he eats an egg nearly drives
her to murder.
