Thrifty Meat Cuts
Are Wholesome

Houdini may have known his
tricks. But the modern cook out
Houdinies the great magician in the
field of everyday cooking.
Especially when 1t comes to buy
ing meat and getting lot for a
little money. Good cooks realize
that not all of beef is steaks and
not all of a lamb is chops AL
though many of them do trot into
the butcher shop and order only the
steaks and chops which broil or
fry quickly, there's much, much
more to the meat picture than the
choice cuts About one-quarter of
a beef makes up the better known
cuts. So it's up to the smart home
maker to learn what she can do
with the other three-quarters of
the beef that's not so well known
and therefore is cheaper.
Thrift cuts, when properly cooked,
are just as good and by good" is
meant they're nutritious and taste
full. Long have scientists known
that meat is rich in protein which
builds and repairs muscles and keeps
flesh firm on the bones. But new
findings now show meat is a source
Of complete protein. Iron and cop
per for good, red blood and phos-
phorous to combine with calcium
for strong bones are in meat. Vita
Minis are in meat, too, especially
the vitamin B group, which includes
vitamin B1 so necessary for growth,
appetite and protection against GER
tain diseases.

First Child
Must Feel
Beloved
New Baby's Arrival
Should Not Upset
His Little World
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

10 LHttbCe 4Lcc
The 2 to year old child needs
great deal Of understanding from
the mother, upon whom he na@
grown so dependent, and now 10 tne
time when she can gradually starr
to set him on his own two httls
feet.
His imagination Is growing 80
RAPIDLY as wild flower. lie neeos
constant observation and gu1dancs
to avoid the establishment Of fears
and inhibitions that may pursue
him and prove to be unhappy men"
tai companions throughout his life.
Although it is necessary for the
little child to learn that he Is not
the only pebble on the beach, IL
is a great shame If he has to be
taught this hard lesson too sudden"
". This can happen with the ad@
vent of the new baby, when, over
night, his mother is snatched from
| him and with stricken eyes he sees
her devoting herself TO the new
conner.
The new baby should not monopo-

neglects her first child he will resort
to mischief and tantrums to force
! her to notice him. Often little
child who has always been model
of good behavior will turn into q
naughty youngster simply because
| he feels that the new baby has taken
| his place in his mothers thoughts.
When he is a good boy, ne is not
even noticed; but when he is bad
at least his mother looks at him
and talks to him, and a scolding
and spanking are worth it.
To avoid a situation similar to this
it is wise to prepare the small child
| beforehand and tell him that he il
/ going to have baby brother or Sis
! ter. Converse ton about the baby
/ to-come should be perfectly natural
and matter-o f-fact. To make sure
| that your first baby does not suffer
a very real grief and sense Of dep
rivation when your second baby ar
rives, try TO find time TO give the
/ first child a part of your day, every
day.
/ If you stress the point that the
new infant will be "our baby" you
will reassure the toddler and make
/ him feel that he has share in the
| family and that you still love him
and want him.
1t is not the Spasmodic hugs and
kisses that count to a little child so
much as the facts before his eyes
that show that he is not being
pushed aside for some one else. Even
if he is too little to talk, he feels
a great deal.
The young child, hardly more than
baby himself, who is suddenly faced
with the fact that there is another
baby in the household who takes
much of his mothers time, is learn
ing one of the most severe lessons
of life, but a necessary lesson to
avoid growing up into a selfish,
jealouSy-ridden adult. 1t is this:
he must begin to learn now to share
unSelfishly the love and attention
Of those who are dear and necessary
to him. The sympathy and under
standing in your eyes and voice. and
your reaSsuring arm around his
shoulders will make it much, much
easier for him.

Of it? And what's to do about it?
Nothing.
On the other hand, we have the
vast number of people who regard
love as a frill instead Of necessity
in the home, and who would rather
have a cabbage in the pantry than
an orchid in the parlor any day, and
who marry to get working partner
instead of a lady love or gigolo.
There is the man who marries be-
cause he wants a good cook and
home comforts, and the man who
marries because he wants children,
and the man who marries because he
is lonesome, and the man who mar
ries because he wants somebody 10
mother him, and the man who mar
ries because he wants somebody TO
support him.
And among women there is the
woman who marries for fear she will
be an old maid, the woman who mar
ries because she hates office work
and loves domeSticity and wants a
home of her own; the woman who Is
afraid of the future and marries TO
get a husband to support her, and
the woman who marries for COM
panionShip.
That these marriages turn out, as
the phrase goes, as well as the love
marriages, is not to be denied. Pos
sibly they have shade better chance
because they are not tangled up with
any intangible emotions.
They are all on the practical side,
and as long as the woman who was
married because she was good
cook keeps on turning out culinary
masterpieces, her husband is salts
fed. and as long as the woman who
married for a shopping ticket still
has a charge account at the best
stores, all is well.
But it leaves the question of what
to marry for still unsettled.

formed and then, without adding
any water for rinsing, the latter Is
removed with a dry towel. Add a
few deft touches with comb or brush
to accentuate the waves and curls
and your hair is completely clean
and sparkling. The nice part is
that it dries in a short time and
may be used quickly and easily.
We were introduced to this prod
uct by a number of girls who are
always popping off on ski jaunts
IN places where it's tempting cold
to shampoo the hair and where the
time and space for such operations
are limited. These girls pack
bottle of the lotion in their bags
and use it whenever necessary, with
excellent results.
So, if you're planning a ski jaunt
or if you're one of those always
pressed time people, look into
this new preparation, which prom
iseS to be one of the more important
innovations in hair care.
Hair has never been more in the
news than it is this season, primarily
because hats call attention to its
beauty, or lack of it, as the case
may be. Anyway, one of the most
famous and reliable firms devoted
to care of the tresses is really
making great strides in this busi-
ness of educating women to proper
hair treatment. Their ideas, plus
the introduction of their special
products, have done wonders.
At this point they're excited about
the pompadour, primarily because it
is hair style that demands beauti-
full, cleaning tresses, and because
it is most important part of the
current fashion picture. For exam
pie, they recommend that you start
with one of their famous sponge
Shampoos, which seems to pep up
winter-weary hair, and We promise
that you've never had shampoo
like it! Also important is their Spe-
cial ointment, used in conjunction
with one of their special hair brushes
to give the dulleSt locks a new,
bright sheen that is so very i'm
portant. Perhaps their most welcome
new product is a Hair -Surance"
kit which contains all the important
essentials. This convenient pack
age has been especially applauded
by mothers of youngsters, for it
encourages them to pay more at
tention to the condition Of hair and
scalp.
In the local salon, they're full of
new pompadour tricks, too. For
debutantes they like a rolled-back
pompadour with a wreath of real or
artificial flowers set just behind it.

NJ q n n e r S
of the
Moment

A man who can't tie his own bow
tie has no right to grippe at the
way his wife ties it. It's not at all
fair for him to stand there frown-
ing into the mirror telling her it's
crooked, or lopSided, or that he
could do better himself.
If he could do better himself, he
should do it himself. And if he
couldn't do better himself, he should
take what he can get with patience.
On the other hand, it is always
wise for a girl to learn how to tie
a tie well before she marries. If
she does it like a valet she will
have eliminated one of the great
hazards of marriage.
She could practice on bed post
with a piece of white ribbon. And
she could keep in mind the pri-
mary rule, which is never to have
any lipstick on her fingers when
she does it.
If she can tie clean knot, with
out any pink blotches on it, she
has won half the battle. The even
ends will come by the fifth ami
versary and the fiat look will come

should avoid saying Thanks for

the thing to mention rather than

Several details prove that this
design is one of springs important
fashions. They are the deep v of the
neckline, the cleverly detailed bod
ice, the gay rows Of decorative but
tons on the front and the sleeves,
soft shoulders and pleated skirt.
You'll like them all. But what
you'll like best of all is that the
whole effect is SO very flattering to
your figure. 1t rounds out your
bosom, diminishes your waistline to
wandlike slimness, suggests a slen-
der elongstion of your body that's
as attractive as 1t is smart.
Dressy enough for afternoon and
yet simple enough for general wear,
too, this is an ideal basic type, the
most useful dress, no doubt, in your
whole wardrobe. Make it of silk
print or dark fat crepe or taffeta
that you can pick up with various
accessories and trim with bright
buttons. A step-by-step sew chart

May I suggest that some day you

young people for many years, and I

The raucous voices of adolescentS

years ago had occasion to employ
a student for part-time work and
had to turn down the one best quail

of reading aloud, and I was amazed
how poor university juniors were
at it.

ing this suggestion. Thank you for
the information and encouragement

And thank you, Mrs. M, for q

We appreciate your suggestion, and
we're going to act on it. Our Point

tips on these subjects in this column
in the near future.
Dear Kay and Alden:
My son, 13, has been invited to
a dinner party preceding a formal
dancing school party. All the din
ner guests will 60 on afterward to
the dance. Now I, playing chauf-
feur, will see that my son escorts
his partner to the dinner, and also
to her home after the dance. But
how about between the dinner and
the dance? Should I be on hand
to drive them then, or does the
dinner hostess arrange transpor-
tation?
Also, would you kindly suggest
Just what my son should say on
taking leave Of his hostess at her
home? A 13-year-old surely
wouldn't be expected to comment
on his dinner, would he?
Mrs. G. j.
We suggest that you phone your
sons dinner hostess and offer your
services to help transport the
guests from her home to the dance.
This would be a friendly and con-
siderate gesture and would also let
you know whether the hostess in

Triangle Has
Base Line
Missing
Man Wants Wife
and Ex-In.Laws
To Be Friendly
BY Emily Post

The following situation makes me
think of triangle with the base line
missing! The husband is the apex
with his present wife and his ex-
in-lawS at the lower points with
no approach to each other except
through him. The wife's own de-
scription is this:
MY husband lost his first wife
several years ago He was devoted
to her. There were no children.
Before we married I knew that he
had remained friendly with his
in-laws and I, of course, saw Moth
ing out of the way about that. But
I never dreamed that after we
married he would expect me to in
vite them here to our house-which
is also the house in which their
daughter hved-and expect me to
treat them as my husbands own
relatives. Unfortunately, he has
no relatives, which makes it harder
to explain toshim that ex-in-laws
are not the same.
He is becoming annoyed with
me because I have not yet gone with
him to see his ex-parents-in-law,
nor have I invited them here to
dinner. I have put both off because
not only do l think it unfair to me.
but I am not sure that they would
like having me forcibly thrust into
their lives. I haven't said any
thing about how I feel about this
I have just made excuses and
changed the subject, because I'm
so afraid he'll misunderstood and
it will come between us. Won't
you please, Mrs. Post, give me
your opinion on this"
At guess, I would say that the
factor your husband is overlooking
is that you and the parents Of his
first wife cannot be expected to
suddenly make perfect an essential
ly strained relationship, and have
your feelings toward each other as
spontaneously happy as he seems
to expect. I can't answer definitely
because you have told me nothing
about them, but If they have made
no advance toward you, it would
be very difficult for you to 60 the
whole way.
So far as he himself is concerned,
I do think 1t would be cruel to them
should you insist that he sever all
interest in them. 1t seems to me
that you should be able to talk
the situation over with him, let him
feel that you do not want to deprive
them Of seeing him but that 1t Is
best for them and you both that you
and they be left at distance until
such time as you both perhaps may
bridge it naturally. Some day
when they get used to hearing him
speak of you-they may urge him to
bring you to see them. If they do,
I think it would be best to go-in
fact it might change the whole sit
uation
Moreover, If you and they both
have tact as well as kindness, a
friendship might bring very real
degree of reward to you both. 1t
would take character on your part
as well as theirs, and it would re-
quire some similarity of taste, but I
can testify to number Of instances
where results have been Of the hap
