Glorbing Yourself
By Alicia HazS

The woman who is practically beautiful one day and not even nice looking the next annoys me more than the girl who just never bothers about her appearance at all. A famous reporter said that today HE NEVER KNOWS
 WHAT TO EXPECT
 "If a woman always is haphazard- ly groomed, you can put her down as frumpish and forget about her. he went on. But If she is a chic, nicely turned out person one day and trump the next, a man never knows where he's at. He never knows, until he arrives at her door, whether she is going to look like something he can be proud of or like something to hide under a table behind the orchestra"
 I think the famous reporter has roint here.
 1t might be good idea for every woman to ask herself whether she maintains a consistently high stand ard of beauty, or whether she has definite, conspicuous ups and downs For instance, the business woman ought to remember now and then how she looked the day siie applied for her job. And then admit wheth- CT or not she grooms herself as care fully every morning as she did the morning of her appointment to be interviewed.
 The young married woman might find 1t a good idea not to forget completely how hard she tried to look her best every night when Joe came home for dinner during the first few months of marriage. But though she has children and does her own work, it's certainly possible for any woman to steal ten minutes for hair-combing face cleaning and a fresh coat of make up before her husband comes home from the office. And It takes no more than ten minutes to comb hair and put on makeup in the morn ing before sitting down for break fast.

Waffles always ring the breakfast bell. Lucy Maltby, noted expert in what the American family likes to. eat, gives her sure-fire recipe for the great American waffle. There are four steps to making perfect waf- fies, according to Miss Maltby: sift flour once before measuring, put flour, baking powder and salt into the sitter, sift dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir just enough to combine, and lastly, be sure waffle iron is the right temperature for baking before adding batter.
 DOLLAR NAPLES
 (5 waffies, s inches in diameter)
 One and one-third cups flour, ! teaspoon baking powder. 1-2 tea spoon salt, 2 eggs, separated, 2 tablespoons melted butter, l cup milk.
 Sift flour once, then measure. Place flour, baking powder and salt into the sitter, but do not sift yet. Separate the whites and the yolks of eggs. Add a few grains of salt to the whites and beat unfN stiff, but not dry. Then in another bowl, beat the yolks until thick and lemon color; add the melted butter and milk. Eift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir only enough to combine smoothy-excess beating toughens waffies. Gently stir in the beaten egg whites. Bs care- ful not to break any more air bub- bles than necessary to combine well. Little fiecks of egg white should show plainly when batter is ready to bake. Heat the waffle iron. Bake batter as soon as temperature indie cator shows iron is ready. Or else put c drop of water on the iron. 2 the rrop boils rapidly. the iron o hot enough.
 Serve the hot waffies with soft- ened butter, warm honey or manle syrup.

Modern Menus
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

A stack of griddle cakes-that's an all-American breakfast call. Add a bundle of pork sausages and every- thing looks rosy. Sausages with scrambled eggs are regular" too, and a new combination of eggs, sausages and morning cereal goes well with the average family. Dip the small sausages in beaten egg, then roll in crushed corn flakes. Pan fry in a lightly greased skillet until thoroughly cooked.
 Crisp bacon is always 100 per cent American. Broiling it under or over a clear flame is an ideal method. To pan-broil to perfection. place slices of bacon on cold frying pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook over very low fire and turn bacon occas- ionally so it will cook evenly. Pour off fat as it accumulates. Drain bacon on absorbent paper.

THE WOMEN- Tips To SteWardeSS Give Ideas For Thank You Gifts

not happen every flight) the vice. president of a watch manufactur- ing company once thanked Miss Pickle for a pleasant trip by send ing her wrist watch.
 Other in-their-line of business gifts received by United Airlines stewardesses are makeup kit from a woman in the beauty busi- ness; 8 card which gave the stew ardess the right to buy "the cutest hats you ever saw" at half price, given by the proprietor of a mill nnery store in Chicago; coffee pot from someone iii the hardware bus iness; and leather-bou volume of Shakespeare from 8 book-dealer.
 There is an idea in this for any person who wishes to express his appreciation for another's kindness, whether the person is an airline stewardess or a neighbor.
 JELLY, TABLES
 AND GOLD TEETH
 Don't feel that there are only a few conventional gifts which you may make. If you are a housewife and take great pride in your jelly, let that take the place of box of candy as a gift of appreciation.
 And if you are a man who is handy with tools, make coffee table or build book-shelves for the neighbors who occasionally look after your children for an evening
 And that is a remider that one man I know gives young spruce or pine tree to home-owning friends instead of more conventional gift.
 A dentist once told me that he gave his old colored cook gold tooth to show his appreciation for her twenty years of loyal service. She had it set right up front-and was very proud of it.
