CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Jill WAS glad she had taken time
during the afternoon to have her
hair done.
It was a relief to have her hair
nuffed out in the natural way she
always wore il. instead Of slicked
down tightly to her head as she
had been forced to dress II at
Fenwicks.
She was happy, too. that she had
included a dinner dress among the
things she had brought, and she
shivered a bit when she remem-
bered how nearly she had come 10
leaving 1t at home. Her mother
really, had made her take 1t.
But I'm not going to any par
ties. Mother" she had argued, in
protest.
You can't tell what you'll be
doing" her mother had answered
practically. 1T doesn't take much
room and If you need it and
haven't got it, you'll be sorry"
Black Chiffon
So she had packed the dress, q
black chiffon. Brock was the sort
of man, she was quite sure, who
would appear in dinner clothes and
she had no desire to be at dis
advantage on her first formal date
with him.
Her black satin sandals with
rhinestone heels and sheer blacl
hose completed. the ensemble, anC
she carried large cerise hand
kerchief.
Brock was promptness itself, anC
at exactly seven thirty phoneC
from the lobby that he was wait
ing. His gardenia corsage had pre-
coded him by just a few minutes
and she was pinning it to her bel
when the phone rang.
He was immaculate in his dime
clothes. and she approved his ap
pearance as she crossed from thu
elevator to meet him. That h
approved of her appearance, he lief
no doubt and she blushed slight,
at the warmth of the expression
in his eyes.
There's a very nice dining room
in the hotel, here he suggested
IF that's all right"
Perfect. I thought we woul'

Neglect To Blame
For "Crepeu" Neck

Routines to keep the neck firm
looking as well as satiny smooth
should be included in every wom-
ans daily beauty schedule. There
are no more certain signs Of ne
gleet as well a. age. than q creepy
throat. sagginF muscles directly
below the ehinline. and necklace
lines going around and around.
In addition to careful cleansing
wash your neck each and every
time you wash your facet and
nightly Dreaming, Of course, do spe-
cial exercises regularly. These
keep the muscles Of the neck firm
and the skin over them smoothly
youthful.
Furthermore, don't give your
throat more attention than the
sides and back Of the neck. Since
you no longer wear your hair in
q long. bushy bob. rows of lines
across the back are as sad a sight

At night after a bath, pin hair
atop head and put on a thin rub
Der shower cap. Then really cream
your neck. massaging the cream
In with upward and outward
strokes and patting away the lines.
EASY NECK
EXERCISE
Before removing the cream. do
few exercises several times.
Here are directions for three
favorites:
Sit or stand erect. relax neck
and let head fall as far backward
as possible. Now place fingertips
behind ears and lift head up to
normal position. Make fingers do
all of the lifting. Repeat five times.
Repeat again. lifting head straight
up without aid Of fingers.

Advice to the Lonely


Dear Mrs. Post: I have been a
widow for 10 years. My two sons
have been married for quite awhile
and my only daughter just married
last year. l miss the children,
especially my daughter, terribly.
It's very lonesome. And want
you to tell me, if you will. how
often it is proper for me to go
to visit them. to stay with them
l mean, because all three live in
different towns but none of them
very far away.
Answer: I hate to answer that
you must wait until your daugh-
ters-in-law invite you, and you
must ask your daughter before
going if it will be convenient.
Never. never arrive unexpectedly.
I know it is very lonely. But the
one thing that each and every
one of us must learn for our own
salvation, as well as that of all
who come in contact with us, is
an outlooking point of view. By
this l mean, when you find that
you are thinking about your lone
illness. stop it at once! Do cross
word puzzles, if necessary-any-
thing to make you think about
something else. Feeling sorry for
yourself not only increases your
unhappiness but it helps to bring
about the very thing you could
not bear to have happen-that is,
to spoil your children's pleasure
in seeing you. You must make
new friends or at least find new
interests of your own, and not
depend on your children for your
sole companionship. l know this
is a very hard thing to do, but
no achievement is easy and there
is no greater achievement than

She regarded him for full

decided she could trust him with

She told about the letter that
Agnew and Shore had delivered to

Unfair To Say "Only

During the great World war,
diet took on a form best suited to
conserve wheat flour and sugar.
Today, thanks to a great abun-
dance on hand and the happy fact
that we are not in the war. we
do not have to restrict ourselves.
But we might recall some Of the
recipes of those other times. In
an old article, George Rector.
noted gourmet, says The food Of
the war period is characterized by
just two things. First, dancing in
dining rooms became popular. And
secondly, the typical war foods
which appeared on every table 10
conserve wheat and sugar for the
boys at the 'front.' These samples
are from Mr.. Rector's collection:
Pea Soup
One cup dried peas either yell
low, Scotch or Green). u onion.
pa quarts water, tablespoons
fat. tablespoon cornstarch, cups
milk, I teaspoon salt, u teaspoon
paprika.
Soak peas in cold water 10 to
II hours. Cook with onion until
soft. Rub through sieve. Make
white sauce, using fat, cornstarch,
seasoning and milk. Dilute to
proper consistency with the water
in which peas were cooked.
Peanut Loaf
One cup soft breadcrumbs
ttoasted). Y cup peanut butter. !.
cup cooked rice, l teaspoon salt,
pinch black pepper, l teaspoon
poultry seasoning, 1 tablespoon
chopped parsley.
Combine all ingredients and mix
well. Bake in creased loaf pan in
moderate oven (350 degrees F.)
for about 80 minutes. Unmold
and serve hot with tomato sauce
or ketchup.
