good when cooked with oranges. or

There are guineas and fat capons
though, for that special dinner

Local fish is, of course, plentiful
and inexpensive, although, due to
a strike in Boston, sea food from
that part of the country is prac-
tically non-eXiStent. However, we
can make out very nicely with what
we have here, and note especially
the abundance of good raw shrimp
found everywhere just now. These
may be cooked at home in number
of ways, and so lend variety to the
usual routine of curry or cocktail
Shrimps have so many uses that
1t is pity more housewives do not
play them up more often. Blue
fish is another "headliner."
In the produce line We noticed
particularly tumbling in prices on
peas and lima beans in many quar-
ters. This is good news for those
who have had to deny themselves
these favorlte vegetables due to
high costs. Brussels sprouts are
extra fine and extra low: spinach
is good and cheap, and little baby
yellow goose necked" squash is par
ticularly tempting. Salad greens are
all in the loW-price brackets-spring
onions and baby radishes with crisp
romaine and green pepper make a
deliciously Springlike combination.
Strawberries, perSlmmonS, avocadoS
and fancy grapes are ridiculously low
in price-while tangerines and pa-
nanas are practically being given
away!

The ordinary flower pot is
the best thing to plant seeds in
the house in. The soil must be
good and firm in the pot and it
must be we'll drained. Sift
earth and use the coarse stuff
In the bottom of the pot. Pots
may be moved from place to
place and slow growers, if
planted in individual pots, do
not need to be disturbed.
Any stain from fruit on table
linen should be attended to be-
fore the linen is put to soak.
Hold the stained piece over a
vessel and pour boiling water
through it. This Is better than
soaking in water as it prevents
the stain from spreading.

with salt and pepper, and insert a
meat thermometer so that the bulb
reaches the center of the thickest
part. Put the roast in a slow oven
(3O0o F. and let it roast, uncov-
cred, until done.
A beef roast may be served rare,
medium or well done, just as you
prefer. When the meat thermom-
eter registers 140o F.. the roast will
be rare; at 1862 F., it will be medium
done. and at 1700 F.. the roast will
be we'll done. Allow 18 to 20 minutes
per pound for cooking a roast rare,

Brittle Nails
Are Aided by
Treatment
New Oil Manicure
And Proper Diet
Help Condition
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Fundamentally, brittle nails are
caused by diet deficiencies, but a
great deal can be done by external
treatment to keep them from break
ing and running the appearances of
your hands.
For years manicurists have been
experimenting with oil treatments
OF one kind and another, and those
who truly know nail care, urge YOU
to massage warm oil into your cuti-
Gle and on your nail each night. Or
massage oil well into your entire
hand and tie it up in a pretty cot
ton glove while you sleep.
Now the oil treatment has taken
a new step, inspired by fashion
which has put our hands in the
limelight with new fingerless mitts,
hunks of lavish jewelry and the
vogue for the vivid and luscious
new colors in nail lacquers.
Split nails are as incongruous
with milady'S new roles of elegance
as the boyish bob Or skirts above our
knees! 1t is now look to your
hands. madame" and particularly
to nail carew
The new oil treatment of which I
speak does for the fingernails what
an expert facial does for the skin,
and 1t is offered in many of the
leading department store salons and
beauty salons throughout the coun-
try.
Your hands are immersed, one at
time, in rich, mulsified oil of a
creamy appearance, which is heated
in a thermostatically controlled
heater. While one hand is being
manicured, the other is being nicely
fabricated in warm oil! And SO
efficient is the process supposed to
be that one weekly treatment tends
to prevent nails from being brittle
and TO correct the dry condition.
Each of us desires flexible, healthy
nails SO that we may wear them of
fashionable length, Smartly shaped
ovally. And we also expect our nails
to take the hard knocks" we give
them without breaking off. So spe-
cial care is required, particularly
now during cold weather when even
steam heated homes conspire to
make our nails dry and tiaky.
If you can afford such a recondi-
tioning manicure as described here
you will save yourself lot of exas-
peration. Your nails will get scien-
tific lubricating. Check up also on
your calcium and phosphate intake
to be assured that your nails are
getting the nourishment they need
from within. Such consideration
will keep your hands fashionably
lovely and they will speak of the
meticulous beauty who owns them

at your house, yet never ask you to
their parties, are simply lot of
dead beats who are sponging on you
and that instead of trying to culti-
vate them you will be wise to drop

But, all the same, il you do not

but they never ask her to any of
theirs, except their big affairs. The
reason of it is that she talks too
much. She ruins a dinner party by
monopolizing the conversation. No.
body else can get word in edgewise,
and as what she has to say is con-
fined exclusively to her own family
and affairs every one is bored to
tears.
I know another woman, very in
telligent, and who also gives lovely
parties to which people go, but who
is seldom asked to theirs because
she argues about everything on
earth and disagrees with every one
on every topic. You can't say it is
a pleasant day without starting
something with her and, as she has
a loud, shrHl voice, she turns the
most harmonious gathering into
what sounds like cat fight.
I know other women who ruin
parties by Dragging about their
children. their cars, their clothes.
Others who think it witty to be sar-
castle and make Wisecracks at the
expense of others. Women who tell
their grievances and their secret sor-
rows to the public. Women who
baWl their husbands out. And all
of these are left out when hostesses
make their invitation lists.
Maybe you are one of these and
can correct your fault. Any woman
who is a good housekeeper has the
first aid to popularity.

we give innumerable parties that
people come to and seem to enjoy,
they never invite us to their homes
For two years I have made wreck

and lunches and suppers that others
ate, praising the food and saying
what good time they had, without
practically any return invitations. I
