K1tcnens. But no longer Is 1t there
purely as art for arts sake" Since
fresh fruit has supplanted imitation,
the family frequently finishes off a
meal by eating part Of the center
piece. Consequently, the contents Of
the bowl change from day to day
and from season to season.
Well-qualified for position in the
fall or winter fruit bowl are the
late varieties of pears. Prices for
these pears have been low so far
this season. And 1t seems probable
that supplies Of them available for
domestic consumption will be as
large as they were last year, when
pear production in the United States
reached an all-time high. Exports.
for which good share of the winter
and fall pears are produced in this
country, have fallen off considerably
since the beginning of the European
war. England and other European
countries, ordinarily the best GUS
toners for our late pears, consider
this fruit a special delicacy.
Center Of the commercial winter
pear production in the United States
is located in the three-far-W Western
States - California, Oregon and
Washington. There, since about 1920,
the industry has been expanding.
Classified as fall and winter pears
are those varieties that are harvest
ed after the Bartlett, and that will
keep in storage for a considerable
time. All are picked when they are
mature, but still quite hard and
green, then they are stored at care
fully regulated temperatures. Before
they can be eaten these must 60
through a ripening or a condition
ing" period.
Gradually, fall and winter pears
are gaining prestige in this country,
as those who direct the fruit along
the line from tree to consumer i'm
prove their methods of handling this
kind of pear A winter pear that
has been harvested at the right
time, properly stored and ripened,
and eaten in the normal season of
the variety to which it belongs is
mellow, very juicy, aromatic, and
has an appealing favor.
Unfortunately, however, the win
ter pear hides its good qualities
beneath too-modest, not to say
unpromising, exterior. Some have
rough skins and generally mottled
appearance. Some look greenish
even when they are fully ripe. There
fore the first thing the buyer must
establish in her mind as she goes
shopping for winter pears is that
it is not a good idea to Judge by
looks alone.
Another helpful thing to keep i'll
mind is the time of year when the
four main winter pear varieties ere
In season.
The Bose, like all late pears, is
good for eating fresh. But it gets
special mention because it is so
good for baking. When it is ready

Odd Child
a
Problem
Psychiatrist May
Be Only Answer
To Behavior
BY ANGELO PATRI,

In every family there is one odd
one. One that does not seem to
belong, nor want to belong. Faith
ers and mothers work for a life
time to make and keep a home
that shall be a pleasant place, a
haven of peace, for themselves and
their children, and this one child,
this one alone, makes discord there
IF only we could find a way of
making this one like the others.
Why Is he, or she, like this?"
There is no hundred per cent in
nature. I don't know why, and
never expect to know. In every
set of seedlings there are some
that are so poor that they are use
less, and sometimes, one that is
a miracle of perfection. In every
family the same holds true in
varying degree. No two children
will be alike, no two will have the
same faults, the same good points.
We are lucky if all of them have
some high spots, for it is with
those we have to be content and
accept the low ones philosophically.
Here is young woman in COL
lege. Her father and mother work
hard to keep her there, and her
brother and sister as well. This girl
Is forever complaining about the
treatment she gets from her fam
lily although she gets more of every
thing, and in better quality, and
more consideration for her way
wardness, than the other two chill
dren combined. She drinks and
smokes, flouts all restrictions, and
when she gets into a jam, calls for
help from home as though the fam
lily were to blame for her troubles.
Talking is useless. Take some of
the money that the young woman
is spending for nonsense and
worse, and call in an expert pyschi-
artist to examine and treat her.
Stop giving her everything she de-
mands. Stop showing her that one
flick of her tongue can blister your
soul. Do your best to keep a cool,
calm front toward her. Indifference,
refusal to be driven further by her
antics, might make her pause. And
the psychiatrist might be able to
show her that she is headed for
disaster if she does not pull up.
The family has to defend itself
against such member. Giving in
to his moods, his selfishness and
weakness will not help him, but will
make his condition worse. Making
the rest of the family sacrifice their
wants, even necessities, makes them
suffer in poor cause. Nobody gains
anything that way. Use the family
resources for the cure of the pa
tient, not for his degeneration.
These young people-the group
Is not large compared to the
healthy, well adjusted majority
flourish on other folks sacrifices.
The more that is done for them
the higher their conceit scars un-
til they lose their heads complete
ly and do themselves and the fam
lily serious hurt. Put them under
the care Of the psychiatrist; let
them know their behavior is path
illogical, that they need and must
accept help, and the nourishment
Of their ego Is much reduced.

to eat 1t Is yellow with cinnamon
brown markings. This is a large
pear with long tapering neck. It's
season is from September to De-
cember Is.
Among connoisseurs, Comice-in
season from November l to late
January-is famous for its eating
quality. This is also large pear
but with no neck. When ripe, it
has a smooth, creamy or pale yel-
low skin. The flesh is fine grained
and has characteristic sweet per-
fumed flavor.
Good for all-around use and one
that keeps well is the Anjou-in
season from November /, through
April. This is also a large pear,
has smooth creamy yellow skin
when 1t is ripe, with a spicy flavor.
From the first of December to the
last of May, the Winter Nelis, an
other good all-purpose pear, comes
to market. This is a small pear.

that give it mottled appearance.
On markets where pears are sold
in large quantities, the retailer often
ripens pears in special conditioning
rooms as he takes them out of stor-
age. On such markets it is possible
to buy either pears that are slightly
unripe for cooking-or to get
those that are fully ripe for eating
fresh Immediately.
Usually, however, the homemaker
has to oversee part or all of the
repening process herself. Knowing
this, many pear growers are now
putting directions on the wrapper
surrounding each pear.
Way to ripen pears at home is
to let them stand at ordinary living
or dining room temperature until
they become slightly soft at the
stem end, give gently to the pressure
of the fingers, are fragrant and
somewhat lighter in color. This
may take from four to. five days.

ONLY
The Best
Perfume
Small Quantity O.
Good Scent Better
Than More of Bad
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Selecting perfume for a gift is,
indeed, ticklish problem. A gift
should be both pleasing to the re-
cipient and appropriate to her per-
sonality, and many of us get into a
perfumed fog as we sniff brews and
try to decide which one would be
her choice.
I sympathize- particularly with
adoring swains who bravely ap-
proach perfume bars to buy gift
fragrances for the ladies of their
choice! What perplexity they must
experience when bottle after bottle
is presented them by salesgirls! /!
Tricky or foreign names-a variety
Of scents-and containers of unusual
beauty. 1t is wonder that the
poor dears ever attempt a selection!
If man IS buying a fragrance
for a girl he loves I would advise
him to give her a brew which pleases
him-if he does not know which she
favors. The considerate girl desires
to please her beau and If he truly
likes specific fragrance that is rea-
son enough for her to wear it, at
least when she is with him.
But If a man is buying a perfume
for his mother, sister or other femi-
nine relative, he should consider
her age, her personality and style of
living, for it would never do to pre-
sent sweet Aunt Bessie (who lives
quiet and serene life) with
a bottle of glamour girl frae-
rance! More for her are the lifting
floral scents. With such problem
on his hands. the gift-buying male
would do we'll to consult the sales
girl, providing he does his shopping
early when she is not too rushed to
give his purchase her expert con-
sideration.
Almost every girl and woman I
know would prefer the tiniest guam
tity Of good perfume to large bottle
of cheaper fragrance, and the newer
the mixture the greater will be her
delight. Why? Well, women, as you
know, like to be exceptional. They
do not want to wear a hat which
they will see on every 10th woman,
nor do they want to wear q perfume
which has become too common. It
Is an 1diosyncrasy which men can
never understand but they might
realize it exists and so buy some
thing which will truly delight their
women!
OF course, there are perfumes
which are perennial favorites but
these few are usually costly and
therefore not common. The rarity
of perfume, as with jewel, pleases
woman's vanity, and that is why
new, exquisite mixtures appear each
year.
There are perfumes of lasting and
pleasing fragrances at all prices.
The young man with a dollar to
spend on a gift can find a small
quantity Of good perfume. He with
bulging purse can buy ounces of
rare mixture. After all, 1t is not
the price you pay for the gift, but
the thought you put into it, and any
girl worth your affection viii ap-

Dorothy Dix Says >>>

Dear Dorothy Dix: am woman
Of 30. Have been working IL years
and have supported my parents
without any help from any of my
six brothers, all of whom are mar
ried and have jobs. I have given
my father and mother every COM
fort that I could and have gone
without clothes for myself in order
to do so. During the last 10 years
/ have had several opportunities to
marry, but my mother kept me from
doing so by telling me it was my
duty to take care of them. Perhaps
I gave in because I really didn't care
much, but now I have found the real
one and I am desperately in love
with him, but my mother is de-
termined to keep me from marrying
him by crying continually and telling
me that if I marry him it will kill
her and that her death will be on
my head. This man wants me to
marry him and insists on my giving
up my job. If I do and defy my
mother, will I be doing wrong? I
am torn between two loves-my love
for my mother that can't possibly
last more than 10 years and the other
love for man that would last a
lifetime and give me a home and
family. OF course, my brothers are
opposed to me marrying, because if
I do they will have to help support
our parents. Just what should I do?

Don't pay any attention to your
mothers tears and threats of dying
They are just towards weapons that
she is using against you to try to
make you give up your sweetheart.
When it is all over she will dry her
eyes and actually be proud of her
married daughter who has a home
of her own and husband who can
support her.
AS for her threat to die, laugh that
OF. 1t is a ruse that all old people
use to call attention to themselves
and make everybody make a fuss
over them. I know old people to
whom have paid an eternal fare
well every time I have left them
for 20 years.
No matter how much you love
your mother, you must see that she
is utterly selfish in her attitude to-
ward you and that she loves you so
little she is willing to sacrifice your
happiness for her own pleasure and
convenience. She had her own man,
her children, her home, but she is
trying to deny these sources of hap
piness to you because you are the
humble slave who waits on all her
Whims and provides her with the
money she needs.
Do have enough backbone to spunk
up and take your happiness, in
stead of letting lot of greedy and
self-seeking relatives deprive you of
your last chance at living your own
life. DOROTHY DIX.
