Use Ripe Olive Rings

SLICED rings of pitted ripe olives
have decorative quality for use
in various salads that Is original and
appetizing. If you've never pitted
the small rich, dark globes of fruit
you'll appreciate their dress-up magic
nightly, since but few rings are re-
quired to give sophisticated appear
ance to many simple salads.
Pit the small sized, inexpensive ripe
olive with the aid of the inexpensive
hand size cherry pitters, which utilize
the plunger principle. For quick and
effective removal of the small pit,
place the olive with stem end up
directly under the plunger. Slice the
pitted fruit in thin rings and use in
the bulk Of egg, sea food, cottage
cheese and gelatin salads. Combine
the ripe olive rounds with small tri-
angles of sliced cucumber, and cubes
Of solid meated tomatoes, or with 4
medley of crisp sliced radishes, green
onions and sweet pepper, plain or IN
well-seasoned gelatin.
Pitted ripe olives are grand fare for
hors d'oeuvre and relish trays when
stuffed with cream cheese, green pepper
or pimiento strips. Chill and serve
On crushed ics Or utilize for sand.

Clear Skin
Aids One to
Obtain Job
Neat Appearance
And Enthusiasm
Also Essential.
> BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.


IF YOU are iob-hunting 1t Is goot
to remember that an employer takes
the entire You in at one glance! Tha'
first impression may land you the
job or may cost you one!
Last year I asked many leading per-
sonnel managers what requisites they
looked for In the numerous young girls
who came to them for employment
Three things were outstanding. First
. clear skin: second, neat and smart
!. df possible) appearance; third, en-
thusiasm.
One important personnel director
said to me, Il know 1t may be wrong
but when = girl comes to my desk
with q noticeably blemished skin
cannot give her the slightest bit OF
announcement. Even though I might
excuse her skin condition, I would
still be at q loss where to send her for
employment. Almost without excep-
ton my clients ask for q girl with a
clear skin"
And you can see the reason. A no
ticeably blemished skin might be in
dicative of very poor health. a disease
or personal carelessness. Besides, nc
person likes to look at an ailing skin
the whole day long!
Because clear skin Is so vital q
requisite. make it rule to keep yours
glowing with health. A constant vigil
on your daily elimination, your diet
and internal as well as external body
cleanliness Is necessary.
Regularity in your design for living
is terribly important, too Get sum-
cient rest while you are answering the
want ads. You'll need more than you
do ordinarily. Eight, nine or ten hours
Of sleep are not too many. Eat your
meals at regular time and choose foods
to create energy as well as nourish-
ment.
Bear In mind that ALI job hunting
and no play. makes jamie dull girl.
Be economical, but see that you gel
some amusement. A good walk di
your feet are not too tiredD, bus
ride, a neighborhood movie or a CHEEKY
evening with one Of your friends. Once
you begin to worry during the night
hours that sparkle will leave your eyes
and your enthusiasm will grow dim
Don't let that happen!
About your clothes. Naturally dress
Just as chic as you can afford to
Do not overdress-dress appropriately
Go easy on the makeup and have
your clothes spotlessly clean. Because
you are young you can make an mex
pensive suit or coat look like . mil
lion dollars, and a youthful face needs
little more than q smile to be attrac-
tive.
Knowing these personnel managers
as well as do, caution you to wear
neutral color nail polish, little rouge
not too bright lipstick Do not ap-
proach . prospective employer In very
fancy shoes, . too extreme hat, q
bizarre dress, or chewing gum.
Smile at the person with Job up
her sleeve even If she growls. And for
heavens sake make her think that
that job is just what you are hoping
for. Look into it-you can always re-
fuse it If 1t doesn't turn out to be
what you want. But don't pass up
any chances these days!

sad picture. I can't get used to the
way, for no (to me) apparent reason
the produce markets vary from one
day to another. In general the sup
plies run average-but quality see-saws
all over the place-and prices remain
pretty much the same.
Right now California is laboring ur-
der the necessity of disposlng OF
tremendous orange crop. The fruit Is
deliciously sweet and full of Juice.
Floridas contribution to the orange
department is still bit below par,
Juice is pale in color and very bitter

DEAR MISS NOVEL;: Last winter
the potted plants which rested on
my window sills left large white marks
I have had them refinished and do not
wish this to happen again. Is there
any material that could place on the
window sill to protect it, that would be
practical and inexpensive.
MRS. D. L. G.
Answer-You might use any one of
the hard-pressed composition boards
which are carried by the lumber deal
ers. They come in colors and natural
wood finishes or may be painted. They
do not warp or absorb moisture. You
might have strips of linoleum cut to fit
the window sill. Plate glass, slate OF
marble are also useful, but more ex-
pensive, unless you had some that you
wished to have recut.
NEAR MISS NOVEL;: Can you
suggest way that I might con-

keep yours hidden. Why not admit
that you have one? Place it on lit
tie table with a small chair close at
hand and make answering it as COM
Portable as possible.

that a couple of small logs left
in goldfish pool will prevent the
walls from cracking when the water

cracking due to expansion of water as
it freezes Is concerned Sometimes
cracks are caused by other faults. The

Dorothy Dix Says
Man Should Not Allow Himself
To Be Rushed Into Marriage.

Try to realize that with many girls
getting married is nothing but a racket
They marry not for love but for q
meal ticket. They are tired Of sup
porting themselves. They are too lazy
to work. They want to lie abed of q
morning instead of getting up and
punching the time clock at the office
They want to have their time free for
dawdling around and loaflng about
ostores and going to the movies in the
afternoon instead of having to submit
to the discipline and the confinement
of the Office. So they fasten upon any
poor saps Of men who come their way
and by their tears and entreaties and
bluffs force them to marry them, no
matter how much the men protest
that they should wait until they are
able to undertake the responsibilities
of supporting family.
Any girl who would urge man to
marry her against his better judgment
isn't fit for wife. If she loved the
man, she would have his good at heart
and she would not be willing to bur-
den him with her support when he was
trying to get start in the world. II
she had any sense, she would realize
that nothing so handicaps . poor
young man as having to 60 into debt
to get married and having his mind
distracted from his work by wondering
how he is going to feed and clothe the
wife who is hanging like milestone
around his neck. She would know
they would have thousand more
chances for happiness If they waited
until they could properly finance their
marriage.

Take dull instrument and use it

Ny advice to you is to brace up and
have enough courage to refuse to let
this girl rush you into marriage for
which you are not ready and which is
sure to end in disaster for you both.
You haven't even the excuse of being so
infatuated with her that you have
temporary taken leave of your senses

entire future by going into reckless
marriage. So If you let her bluff you
into doing it. your misfortune Is on
