where she is?
There was frank hostility in Clay's
manner. care you sure she wants to
see you?"
Brent's eyes didn't fall before his
level gaze. He admitted. "I'm not
sure she wants to see me. But have
to find out. have a right to know.
After all, we're still married"
THAT'S rather funny, coming from
you" And then, at Brent's look of
blank incomprehension, "Surely you
won't deny divorce was your idea, that
you want to marry someone else"
But Brent continued to stare blank
ly." March told you that?"
"Of course"
"But it isn't true" Brent denied
"That letter from her lawyer-it was
the first inkling I had" He broke
off at sight of the disbelief in Clay's
face. "Good God, man, what object
would have in lying to you? don't
get this at all. Don't you see, I've

ever. We've got to get this crazy

Thanksgiving dinner is our tradi-
tional national feast. But for best
tasting results, let's cook our turkey
in the modern way. Long cooking
in a very slow oven will produce
tenderness, juiciness and prevent
loss from shrinkage.
For u to 16-pound turkey, al
low 4 hours cooking in a slow oven
set at 300 degrees F.. If you prefer to
cook 1t in a moderate oven $3.50 de-
grees F., allow 3la hours. But be
sure you can rely on your own gauge
or portable oven thermometer. The
low temperature must remain con-
slant.
BY this slow even heat method
of cooking, the most approved sci
entific way, you get more juicy
bird, with more tender meat and
q perfectly Drowned skin. And this
is important = if you cook your
turkey this modern slow-oven way,
you do not have to haste it. Also
trnportant-cook your turkey UNI
covered.
Here's another improvement in
cooking method. Place your singed,
washed, trussed and stuffed turkey
on the roasting rack Of your uncov-
cred roasting pan breast side down.
Yes, breast side down, contrary TO
all tradition. When the bird is half
cooked, turn it breast side up, and

continue cooking until done. Use
clean pot holders and be very care
full with the turning.
NUT TURKEY STUFFING
One-half cup butter, 2 cups finely
diced celery, l cup finely chopped
onion (use medium onions), 2 cups
ground Brazil nuts, IA cups soft
bread crumbs (use 1-pound loaves
of day-old bread. l tablespoon salt,
IA teaspoon pepper, Ia teaspoon
thyme, eggs, well beaten.
Melt butter in a skillet, add celery,
chopped onion and ground nuts.
Cook until celery and onion are
tender. Add to bread crumbs with
seaSonings and mix lightly. Sprinkle
inside of turkey lightly with salt and
pepper. Fill body and neck cavities
with stuffing. Sew with white thread
or string. Tie legs together with
heavy string, then tie around tail
piece. Skewer or tie wings close to
body. Run outside of body with un-
sailed fat, cover the legs and breast
with thin slices of salt pork.

Two girlsl One is a well-paid
fashion artist. The other, seeing
no way" to develop her own talent
for art tries to resign herself to a
dull job.
But there is way by which the
amateur with no opportunity for
training can learn to draw. You
can study at home.
Charts and instructions show you
how to produce the well-propor-
toned, glamorous fashion figures
for which department stores and
publications offer good pay.
Instead of attempting to draw
figures detail by detail you follow
the simple block-in method of pro-
fessional artists.
A first step is to make a long
vertical line for the body. Then
you get the pose of the figure by
drawing horizontal lines for shoul-
ders and bust, for waist and hips
When hips or shoulders tilt, each
pair of lines will slant in different
directions as. in our diagram.

Subtly, in fact quite unobtrusive-
", today's mother begins to teach
her daughter the fundamentals of
good grooming and intelligent care
of hair, skin and nails when the
child is little more than baby.
The four-year-old is told that Bit
ing her fingernails eventually will
ruin the ShSpe of her fingertips. To
encourage her not to bite them, mo-
ther gives the little hands a gentle
manicure as often as necessary.
Jagged bits of cuticle are removed
and rough edges are smoothed with
an emery board.
Once both rough cuticle and
sharp edges are removed, the child's
desire to bite her nails is some-
what lessened. Buf1ng helps, too.
And so does pushing back OF GU
ticle after each hand washing.
Very little girls learn to like hav-
ing their hand brushed at night.
BY the time they are old enough to
hold brush it doesn't take much
encouragement to get them to brush
their own hair.
If your child has her own nah
brush, preferably in the shape of a
fish or an animal that she likes.
she no doubt can be coaxed to brush
her nails. BY the time she is eight,
her own clothes brush ought to be
hanging on low hook in her own
closet. She should be taught to keep
her coats and hats free from dust
and dirt.
CHAPPING MAY
SPOIL SHAPE OF LIPS
BY all means, don't ignore chap
ped lips and cheeks during the win
ter months ahead. Constant swell
ing and soreness of the lips may
eventually spoil their shape. Put
white vaseline or a special ointment
that your doctor may recommend in
the child's chapped lips, cheeks and
knees before she goes to bed at
night. Rub a little of your own hand
lotion into her hands and wrists.
1t isn't necessary or even advis-
able to make a fetish of beauty
routines as far as your daughter is
concerned. But it is important that
you teach her the fundamentals OF
good grooming and intelligent care
of her skin. She's going to form
lifelong habits Of one kind or an
other before she is IL. You know
that. It's entirely up to you to see
that she forms good ones.
