 There are too many young people today who would rath- CT have their parents accept charity than provide for them.
 There are too many who don't mind moving in with the old folks, claiming that mar riage is their right-whethe they can support a marriage or not.

Gloi6ing Yourself

Lemon juice is one beauty aid that I'd certainly hate to do with- out" says Elsie H!tz, attractive dra- matic actress of radio.
 T drink the juice of lemon in a full glass of hot water when I get up in the morning. I always put lemon juice in the next to- the -laSt- rinsing after q shampoo. I keep heif a lemon on the bathroom shelf and use 1t to keep my elbows and hands soft and white"
 Another dramatic actress says that some of her favorite beauty aids come straight from the groc. cry store. She also likes lemon rinses and lemon juice and hot water in the morning. And she gives herself Q buttermilk facial once @ week.
 She puts on shower cap to protect her hair, washes her face and neck and then pats on but termilk. When 1t Is quite dry, she applies a second layer, then lies down for 20 minutes until 1t, too, is dry. Afterward, she rinses off the double layer of dried buttermilk, dries her skin and applies night cream.
 MASKED
 BEAUTY
 The night creAm is allowed to rec main on for five or six minutes. If she is going straight to bed, she re- moves only the excess. If not, she removes all of 1t, then rinses her skin with very cold water before ap- plying foundation lotion and make up.
 Among other efficacious home made masks are: plain milk, fresh tomato juice, the liquid from cu- cumber rinds soaked in water overnight All of these are used in the same manner as butter milk.
 Other popular masks are: a smooth paste of almond meal and milk, uncooked oatmeal and wa- ter. egg with the beaten white and yolk applied separately = in layerS)

 c. What is the correct dinner dress for women in hotels?
 A. In large hotels a woman may wear evening dress, but in small hotels, ordinary streets clothes suf- flee. Hats need not be worn at the evening meal. It is good form for women to wear their hats in res- taurants and public dining rooms in the daytime.
 c. Give directions for steamed clans.
 A. Examine clans to see that they have shells tightly held to- gether, proving that they are alive. If time allows, place them in water in shallow pan about 3 hours be- fore steaming and sprinkle a hand ful of cornmeal over them. They will absorb this and work out sand which may be held in the shell. Scrub the claims and rinse thor oughly. changing water several times.

 Answer-No. Tularemia is usually contracted by handling, skinning. dressing rabbits, sometimes other wild game, that have the disease evidenced chiefly by little white spots scattered through the liver. Tularemia is sometimes conveyed from rabbit or other wild animal to man in the bite of the wood tick or other parasite. Tame rabbits are not susceptible to tularemia. Beware of the wild rabbit or other game that fails to run from danger as a normal animal does.

- RAISING A FAMILY Dad Should Come First On Cnildren's Gift List

Mommy may work, at an out side job. 1n that case Father is still worth his while. for he breaks even on the whole and still deserves gratitude.
 Maybe he Is out of work. Well, he is still Daddy and he needs to have his pride bolstered. however simply. A man out of a job is likely to get that awful old devil, inferior ity complex.
 Here comes Christmas. That's the day We give to people we love and like. Where Is Dads present? Still in the store to be hurriedly chosen from what's left at the last minute?
 In some cases this Is only too true. The family thinks he isn't interested much in gifts, put that's just where they're wrong. He Is only tall boy. and when did boys stop wanting presents or being remembered?

GRUFFNESS MAY HIDE PLEASURE

Maybe he won't say much when he gets his package or packages. Maybe he will huff and say. I'd rather pick my own ties I hope he doesn't. because the truth is that he himself is largely responsible for what love his children hold for him and words like this won't help any.
 But men get embarrassed when they receive presents, very often. and don't know what to say. They turn gruff and put their feet in their mouths trying to say the right thing.
 Put Dad at the top of the list. And Daddy, in your turn, tell the children to put Mother there. too. Next come presents to each other, relatives and friends. They can make some of their presents. That is half the fun. The other half is doing their own buying, or at least part of 1t, with money they have saved or earned.
