The Quick Way To
Prepare Beets In
Fine Fashion

There are many women, who are
very fond of beets, like to serve
them every now and then but
object to the length of time it re-
quires to cook them. It's lots of
fun when fresh beets are cooked to
snip off their little tails and then
squeeze them out of their skin, but
for those who find this indoor sport
not so fascinating, we suggest
canned beets that can be either
heated and served with butter or,
carried on into something to rave
about. All canned vegetables
come ready to serve, but it isn't
doing justice to the poor vegetable
who has worked so hard all his life
to make himself as attractive and
appealing as possible. Here is
something that is more fitting for
the little red-faced root.

Pour the contents of No. 2 can
of beets into a pan. Hea: quickly.

There is much talk these days
about Life Insurance during
period of monetary imitation. Peo-
pie ask what will become of their
insurance dollars in such a situa-
ton. Well, if initiation comes,
ones savings will be in savings
bank, in stocks and bonds, mort
cages, or maybe under the rug at
home.
If the investment natures at
given date, one must take the in
fiated dollars willy-nilly and then
look for another safe place to put
them. If death occurs meantime,
much of the fund must be sacrificed
in inheritance taxes, court fees
and the many other costs attend
ing the administering Of an estate.
If ones savings are in Life In
surance 100 cents of every dollar is
Immediately available to the bene-
ficiary, with no shrinking in the
estate. But another great advan-
tage which is not generally realized
is that one is not compelled to take
his money when due from the in
surance company; he may leave his
dollars with the company at guar
anteed interest (21s% in most
present contracts; some companies
even now are paying $3.50 on such
funds) during imitation and take
his money later when currency
values are reestablished.
Life Insurance is the only form
of property the value of which i'm
proves at the owners death.

There's something wrong in the

I've decided, for one thing, that
volunteer helpers should never say,

ayers as she does on debutanteS.
Even the sweet old lady" comes in
for her share of attention by this
knowing stylist. Recently lady of
70 came into the store and wanted
something appropriate for her years,
even though she wore only a size IA
dress. Mrs. Hawley realizes that
size is not the only consideration,
and that women have problems of
suitability that cannot be solved
without thought and consideration.
Toward the solution of these diff
culties. designers are spending more
time in planning clothes for differ
ent types of women and this, Mrs.
Hawley feels, will eventually lead to
better dressed ladies of every age
and size. The stylish stout" is
being considered and taught to wear
conservative clothes, using gay colors
only in accessories; the junior miss
or girl of awkward age is per-
mitted all the new bright shades
which youth and a fine figure allows.
So, the problems Of a stylist include
psychology as well as fashion
knowledge.
For those girls who hope to use
their natural flair for fashion as a
basis for stylist work in the future,
Florence Hawley advises that they
start at the bottom by selling in the
store. "They, must learn to talk
intelligently to customers" she ex-
plains, "and through selling can
learn to understand the merchan-
disc which is handled" Modelling,
she feels, is not of great impor-
tance especially in Washington,
where the field is so limited that to
depend upon the work for living is
something closely akin to an impos-
sibility. Photographic work here
and on the coast has convinced the
styNst that natural beauty is the
most desirable asset next to char
acter. In choosing models she looks
for an interesting and vital face, not
one that is artificial in appearance.
Interested and busy with her
work. Florence Hawley has helped
many women to look their smartest
and loveliest, and every day she

would be the reward of all the sac
riflces she had made for them, and
1t drives them away from home as
soon as possible. If that isn't trag-
edy, I don't know what is.
Furthermore, although the nag

has her justification, to a certain
extent. For 1t is only too true that

Powder Puff
Has to Be
Clean
Soiled One Menaces
Complexion Beauty
With Infection
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Any girl and woman who is seri-
ously interested in keeping her
skin flawless will see that her pow
der puff is changed daily in the
compact she carries, and that fresh
cotton or new puff is used in
the powder jar at home.
If you drag out a soiled puff for
powdering in the presence of others
your personal daintiness will un-
doubtedly be questioned. but that
is not all. A soiled puff has ac-
cumulated waste which your facial
pores have discharged, old powder
and dust. BY using the same puff
on your skin again and again, you
are forcing impurities into the skin
pores and in less time than you
realize tiny blemishes or q skin
rash will appear.
Today the trend is to give your
personal powder puff as much atten-
ton as any other aid pertinent to
your beauty, comfort and daintiness.
You take a fresh handkerchief each
time you go out, do you not, so why
not a fresh puff?
Frequent changing of puffs is not
expensive. You may buy quantities
of small puf1s for little money which
may be discarded after use. OF. If
you like the swansdown puffs, they
are easily cleansed by washing
them in sudsy water, rinsing and
drying in the sun. If you own a
dozen, you can take clean one
each day and have them laundered
regularly just as your gloves and
handkerchiefs are laundered regu-
larly.
1t isn't good idea to fill COM
pact full of powder and use it until
the last grain. Far better for your
skin beauty if you put fresh powder
into the, compact well each day, or
every other day. Just enough-no
surplus. Today powder Is blended
and mixed to match your skin tone.
Sometimes 1t takes several shades
of powder shaken together to create
for you a flattering color. These
tiny specs of color can and do sift
to the bottom of the compact well
Cor your powder jar) and frequent
shaking is necessary to keep them
all nicely blended. Then too as you
powder your face, and dip the puff
into the powder after taking soil
and dust from your skin, you are
bound to leave tiny deposits Of i'm
purities in the powder.
Well made puffs of lambs wool
may be washed time and time again
without losing any Of their soft
ness. Some of them come in cello
phane boxes which are nice to keep
so you may put in them the freshly
shampooed puffs.
It truly pays to be very sanitary
with your aids for skin beauty. And
1t takes so little time, once you
acquire the habit, that there is little
excuse to see soiled puffs, face
cloths, or messy compacts!
