New York-Regardless Of its size

object or q unique one, the gift
which he wants but simply wouldn't
think Of buying for himself is the
ideal luxury present for any person
on your Christmas shopping list.
Mention Of luxury gifts con.
lures up visions Of fabulous Jew

to the woman who has every
thing, these are about the only
items which will seem luxurious.
TO the average woman, however,
anything which Is slightly out of
the price range her budget allows
will be considered q luxury In
deed. The same holds true for
her husband and other members
OF the family.

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

That's suggestion from French
Lick Springs, Indiana. You prepare
pumpkin as for pumpkin pie but
omit the milk. Use / pint Of soft
ened vanilla Ice cream and mix with
I pint Of the pumpkin PURGE. Freeze
the mixture until two-thirds frozen.
Fill in o baked pie crust, spread the
top with whipped cream and set "a

I the mixture. When Ice and salt are
packed around container OF q
suitable mixture OF cream, the melt
ing Ice extracts heat from the cream
which eventually Is frozen into Ice
cream. The cream Is not frozen
by absorbing cold from the Ice. but
the freezing Is caused by extraction
OF heat until the temperature Is
lowered TO the freezing point. The
addition OF salt To Ice hastens the
extraction OF heat from the cream.

In 1919 I married an Englishman

Gently I was told that / am not q

Which is correct2
A. You lost your citizenship when
you, married an alien and did not
regain it when he became naturaliz-
ed in 1923. 1t will be necessary for
you to apply for final papers.
@. Are boys more intelligent than
girls?
A. In a study Of the abstract in
telligence of a thousand unsolicited
school children between the ages OF
five and fourteen, 1t was found that
the median Of the girls of every age
up to thirteen was trifle higher
than that of the boys of the same
age, but the boys over thirteen were
slightly superior to the girls of the
same age. On the whole, the boys
and girls were approximately equal
