 The method of cooking this cut of beef, whether 1t is corned or fresh, is to simmer 1t in water Vegetables may be cooked with it, which makes 1t good choice of meat for a boiled" dinner.

Dear Miss Nowell-Every window
in our house seems to stick since
We had the house painted. I have
had a handy man twice to open
them for me. Is there anything
that we can do TO prevent this an
nOyance? L. o.
Answer-New paint undoubtedly
got into the grooves and the warm
weather keeps it sticky. l would
suggest that you employ the handy
man once more and furnish a putty
knife and some sand paper so that
he can clean all the grooves free of
paint. Then either use bar of
soap or some wax TO ease the
grooves along which the sash trav-
els and I think your troubles will
be over.
Dear Miss Nowell-Just about this
time each year our stairs and upper
hall floors begin to creak and squeak
when walked on Why would this
happen only at this time of year,
and what can be done about it?
P. T.
AnsWer-ChangeS in the humidity
after the heat has been turned off
may cause either the flooring or
the underpinning to warp slightly,
and it takes very little space to
make a remarkable squeak. If you
can get at the under part of the
stairs wedges can be driven under
the treads. If not, or III addition
to the wedges, nails may be driven
at an angle through the flooring
into the subflooring or joistS, which
will pull the floor back into place
and stop the squeak.

color. DO you hIlO" any way tll''
I could get stencils or other pat
terms that would help in this?
H. G.. c.
AnsWer-You might get the COM
mercial stencils. or even decalco-
mania patterns for the general con-
struction of your design and then
work over them with your own
brush to make them more individ-
ual. However, if you are in the
habit of working with design, why
not copy some of the delightful
Swedish or Dutch designs that you
will find in books in the library?
Develop them for the space they
are to occupy and have the whole
thing express your own ideas
throughout.
Dear Miss NoWell-LaSt year I
had morning glOries to screen a
corner of my porch and liked them
very much but was always annoyed
when they closed up as soon as the
sun left them. Is there any other
quick climber that I could get that
would bloom all day? K B. c.
AnSwer-You might plant moon
flowers along with the morning glO-
| ries. The moon flower starts bloom
| ing about 4:30 each day and gives
off a delightful fragrance all eve
ming. 1t will carry on where the
morning glories leave off. and, as
| the foliage is similar, I think will
be just about what you will want.
Dear Miss Nowell-We have used
a striped wall paper in our front
hall in a combination of shades
from a gray green to a deep blue
green. The ceiling Of the area
above the stairs slants and is yisi-
BILE from the front door: this space
is white like the ceiling and seems
to hit me in the eye each time
walk in the door. Is there any
thing 10 be done with this? Should
it have been papered? Is there
any way TO tone it down without
making it even more conspicuous?
F. D. S.
AnSWer-The best thing to do i,
TO tint 1t to match the background
Of your paper. If it were paperec
the stripes would run on the di
agonal. and it would attract atten-
ton even more. If the walls Wert
painted you would carry this STRIP
the same color as the walls, bu
as it is papered you will have Il
get your painter to mix you shade
which blends well enough with the
paper so that it will not be notice
able.

heart grow fonder! 1t depends en-
tirely upon the girls tactics.
When you see him you must be
beguiling. You must be jolly and
interested in the details of his new,
strange life. He must leave you
with reluctance, thinking you are
the prettiest. the most sympathetic
and the most amusing girl he could
ever meet. Then every other lass
who comes his way will offer you
no competition!
Take time to make attractive the
room in which you receive him. En-
vironment should be pleasing, too,
for that is your setting just as the
ring is the setting for jewel!
Now a little lecture from your
Aunt Patricia! I'm going to tell
you what not to do if you wish to
be beguiling!
Throughout the evening you must
bear in mind that this boy has re-
turned home, or to you, for just a
few hours. Perhaps he has been
homesick, tired, even bit i'll at

so. He will play the part of the
soldier-telling you about his daily
schedule, his advancement. the new
ness of the life, the fun the boys
have together. You must enthuse
about all of it even though you are
sick at heart over his absence. You
must tell him that you have missed
him, ard how the gang has. too. and
you must refrain from mentioning

Parents Should Face the Fact
That Children Are Grown Up

let mother and father plan their
lives and pick out their professions
and their wives and husbands Tor
them. it is disastrous for the chill
dren For they never grow up. They
never become adult. And when
thcv are 80 years Old they ave as
helpless as they were when they
were 5.
Or else, if they do have the
courage and strength to cut the
parental leading strings they break
their parents hearts. Half Of the
time when fathers and mothers
weep on your breast and tell you
how unerateful their children have
been and how bitterly they have re-
paid the sacrifices they made for
them, the only crime the children
have committed has been to assert
the right to a little individual
independence.
Perhaps the parents who are so
inSiStent upon dominating their
children do not realize the harm
they do, but we see 1t on every
hand We see 1t IN the sons OF
rich men who lose all the money
their fathers have left them when
they died because father had never
taught them anything about busi-
ness, or laid any responsibility upon
them. or let them have any say-so
IN the management of the firm.
And We have seen many a di-
vorce that was the result of
daughters Subservience to her
mother. Mary had always minded
mother because mother knew best.
and so when mother told Mary she
should leave Tom because he
wasn't making enough money, or
because mother didn't happen to
fancy him for some reason. Mary
packed her trunks and went back
home.
The moral of all of which is that
parents should not baby their
children. They should let them
grow up. They should teach them
how to walk. They should recog-
nize their right to independence and
to plan their own lives.
