Jessie Simpson Steward, who

her honeymoon last night to grant
an interview because perhaps it en-

The beauty-contest winner who
became Mrs. James Steward at
Hackensack, N. j., Friday night,

1887, when she fell under the wheels
of a commuters train and lost one
leg above the knee and the other
at the ankle.

And then the letters started

City was dying because he didn't

A discouraged youth on the West
Coast was thinking about commit
ting suicide because he'd lost his
job
She answered those letters, the
most desperate ones because she
couldn't answer all of them, and she
granted interviews until now she

accident, without showing embar-
rassment or unhappiness.

near the furnace offers space for

To be sure, this room lacks the
swank of night club, and there is
no bar or kitchen attached. Yet,
in it are all the things the family
enjoys and works with and because
people are at their best among the

it a very happy gathering place.

Okra appears as gumbo in soups
and stews down New Orleans way,
because it contains thick, jelly
like substance that is ideal for
thickening these dishes. When
served as q vegetable alone-most
cooks do away with some of this
"jelly" by frying the okra or by
cooking it with tomatoes. Select
young okra with pods measuring
from 2 to 4 inches in length. Wash
them carefully because the dirt
sticks to the outside, dry and cut
crosswise in pieces about one-half-
inch thick. Heat fat in frying
pan and cook the okra with the
cover on for about 10 minutes
stirring frequently. Then remove
the cover and continue to cook until
the okra is tender and lightly
brown.
The garden varieties of soybeans
are truly a surprise vegetable, with
their green color and nutty flavor.
Select beans that are nearly full
size but still underripe. To make
the soybeans easy to shell first heat
them in pods for 3 to S minutes in
boiling water. Drain the beans,
and as soon as they are cool enough
to handle you can pop the beans
right out of the pods. Then cook
the shelled beans in lightly salted
water until they are just tender
usually from Is to 80 minutes.
You'll find that the soybeans need
only a light seasoning of salt ard
pepper, with little melted butter
or crisply fried bacon or salt pork.
Soybeans may also be cooked and
served in the shell. To eat them
pick up the pods and press the
beans with the thumb and finger.
Cucumbers are featured in so
many salads that many cooks for
get how good they are when served
hot. You can fry them, boil them
or scallop them But one of the
best ideas is to stuff them with to-
matoes and bake them. Pare the
cucumbers and cut them in half,
lengthwise. Then scoop out the
pulp to make cucumber shells. Par
boil these cucumber shells, or boats,
about 10 minutes. Meanwhile cook
some chopped onion and parsley in
fat. add the cucumber pulp, some
chopped raw tomatoes or canned
tomatoes, bread crumbs and sea
sonings. Cook about minutes.
Stuff the cucumbers with this hot
mixture, place in q baking dish, add
little water to keep them from
sticking and bake about Is minutes
In q moderate oven.

the old-fashioned cellar kind sunk
below the ground level in brick
retaining walls. The floor is cement.
The sole equipment in the way OF
furniture consists of three chairs
of the mission oak era and large
desk to match. Uncle Jim donates
two very lovely large natural-color
Navajo rugs and rare old red
bayeta for the wall, with "the string
attached" that he be permitted to
keep his rock collection there and

The whole family becomes inter-
ested in a comfortable work and
play room. The walls are sprayed
with a white cold water paint that
looks like whitewash, but does not
rub off. This is also sprayed on
the brick recess around the windows
to reflect more light into the room.
The floor is painted with cement
paint, a rich warm gray, the color
of the background of the Navajo
rugs which makes an ideal foil for
the sharp black and white Of their
design. The mission oak chairs and
desk are lacquered black and new
upholstery made of gray leatherette
with piping of deep red is used.

curves. Swiss chard stands out
among other leafy vegetables be-
cause of it's thick, rich green leaves
and white stalks. Kohlrabi, an
above -the-ground turnip with leaves
sprouting out like the quilts of
porcupine, always draws questions
from the uninitiated. So do the
fat pods of okra that look like
stubby green pencils Garden soy
beans, covered with velvety fuzz,
are among the late-comers to the
list Of green vegetables.
They there are tricks to try in
cooking some of the everyday vege-
tables such as cucumbers, radishes,
green onions, and celery cabbage.
They seem very different when they
step out of their role as salad
vegetables.
Down south where much of the
eggplant is grown, this vegetable is
cooked in at least nalf a dozen cif-
ferent ways. For real speciality,
scallop the eggplant with tomatoes,
and add green pepper and onion for
extra flavor.
Select an eggplant that is firm
and heavy, with uniform dark
color and no blemishes. You'll find
that one weighing about two pounds
will be enough to serve five or six
persons. Pare of the skin, and cut
the vegetable in small even pieces.
Then melt two tablespoons of fat
In a skillet, add a chopped green
peppe.. and small onion, and cook
for a few minutes. Next add the
eggplant, a quart of canned toma-
toes or chopped raw tomatoes, salt,
and pepper. Cook about 10 minutes
more. Place the mixture in a shall
low creased baking dish Mix about
one cup of fine bread crumbs with
q little melted fat anc sprinkle
over the eggplant. Bake in mod
crate oven for Is minutes, or until
the eggplant is tender and the
crumbs are Drowned.
Broiled eggplant is also good, es-
pecially If you sprinkle cheese on
the top of each slice just before u
Is done. And the classic quick
method is to fry eggplant in deep
or shallow fat after it is dipped in
flour, in egg and crumbs, or in q
thin batter.
Swiss chard is really two vege-
tables In one. Strip of the the
green leaves to cook like spinach.
But don't throw away the white
stalks. Cut them into l-inch pieces
and cook them like celery for about
20 minutes in boiling water. Then
add the leaves and cook about 10
minutes longer. Remember to use
unsalted water to keep the chard
from turning an unpleasing dark
color. Season Just before serving
with fat, salt, pepper and q little
vinegar or lemon juice.
Prepare kohlrabi exactly as you
would q turnip. Trim of the leaves,
pare and slice 1t crosswise. Cook In
lightly salted boiling water for about
20 minutes. Drain and season with
melted butter or cream and salt
and pepper to taste.

Robs Them of Their
Health, Beauty
And Charm
BY ANGELO PATRI.


MY mother makes . terrible fuss
about my smoking. I am just 16.
All my girl friends smoke. can't
be the odd one. I'm not crazy about
smoking, but II don't 90 along with
the crowd in all the little things
they do they won't want to have
me around in the bigger ones. 4
hate to 60 against my mothers
wishes, but I'd hate to be left out OF
things, too"
Well, my children, you may as
well know today as tomorrow that
you cannot hunt with the hounds
and run with the hare. You choose
your course and abide by the con-
sequences. Mothers are not given
to making a great fuss about little
things that concern their childrens
good times. They have all been
girls, you know. They have all
enjoyed good times in their youth
and they all made mistakes and suf-
fered for them. The one thing they
want to do for their daughters is to
save them from making mistakes.
Smoking IS no sin. It has its
place. but that place is not in the
mouths and noses OF young girls.
Nicotine Is drug used to quiet
strained, fatigued nerves. What
have young schoolgirls to do with
strained, fatigued nerves? Aren't
they in the best Of health? Aren't
their eyes shining. their skins glow
ing, their steps springing with vital
ity and health and beauty?
There is nothing in this world
as lovely as a young girl. She is
the alteration of her family, friends
and all the boys in town. She needs
only the grace of lovely spirit to
endear her to all who know her.
Nature has endowed her with
charms beyond the power of artifice
to counterfeit. A cigarette in her
mouth can add nothing of charm or
beauty, but is can take away both.
Health IS the foundation OF
youths beauty and power. Fortu-
nately, 1t is at its maximum in
youth and can stand great deal
of misuse and abuse before depart
ing, never to return. Because this
state of perfect poise has always
been youths portion, they are un-
conscious Of its Importance to their
lives and take all sorts of liberties
with it. Young schoolgirls who
smoke are taking an extreme lib
erty with health, beauty and charm.
The girl who says to herself,
'Unless smoke the boys won't like
me and I'll be a wallflower," is max
ing a mistake. Boys can follow
cigarette smoke anywhere, anytime,
without the slightest difficulty. It
is not cigarette smoke that calls
them to a girl. It is the girls in
herent charm that does that and
cigarettes have nothing to do with
the matter. But health has all to
do with it.
Health puts the light into the
eyes, the color into the cheeks, the
spring into the step, the laughter
into the spirit. Charm is a mixture
Of powers all of which are based
on health.
Miss Sixteen. let the cigarettes 60

IS cooking a stew exactly TO his
taste. At minimum expense of blood
and gold, Stain has already ag-
grandized his Red Reich" by thou
sands of square miles.
He can afford to wait. He knows
that Hitler can scarcely rule the
countries he has conquered. He has
watched their governments and
their social institutions smashed to
dust by one who can scarcely ex-
pect to replace them.
Paris is concerned by its 100000
unemployed-more than all France
had in pre-war times. They are
restless, they are hopeless, they
are meat for the Communist agitators
who industriously work among them
to cash in on defeat, Illustration,
despair. To release the French war
prisoners held in Germany, to de-
mobilize the remaining French
army, can only add to this mass of
misery. France, once freed of Ger
man armies of occupation, might
easily fall into hideous internal
strife.
Danish agriculture is ruined, Nor
way broods sullenly, Poland groans
under oppression. Italy. even as
victor, may well be running itself.
