LONELY EYES"

BY Mrs. Margie Graddick Smith
You had the loneliest eyes I
ever saw
When first I met you, l remem-
per the feeling
If could only stir some warnlth
and life.
What could have hurt him SO,
ali trust congealing?
And so I knew a special warm
delight
In watching those eyes thaw and
colne awake
First with amusement, then
friendly CLEAN
Of sheer affection-there was no
mistake.
And I was sure that you had
come to care.
Such a wild happiness suffused
my life
I studied how to be the perfect
wife. &
Observed your little pleasures
You most preferred to while
away
But why play
Upon the theme of what is not
to be?
You have gone on and, perhaps,
forgotten me
But. oh, this morning in my mir
ror
I beheld the loneliest eyes be.

You have met her. You may nave
seen her when she was in the mldSC
of the turmoil of house-cleanlng,
and she looked exactly the same
way. She seems to be dust-proof.
There are other women who can't
gallop the carpet sweeper over
rug without getting frowsy. There
are neat individuals and untldy
ones. One untidy person in fam
ilv can mess things up faster than
ten women and a girl can straight
en- them out If you have one IN
your family you know what were
talking about. They always look un-
tidy.
SKIN WILL BENEFIT
The lovely crisp one allows plen-
ty of time for the morning bath.
No hopping in and leaping out for
her. She ScOurS her flesh with soap
SudS and a heavy brush, knowing
that stimulation of the skin is
bound to benefit her complexion,
besides giving her a feeling of self
respect. She turns on the warm
shower, then the cold, even though
she Shivers her timberS and yoWls
a bit.
She has a brisk rundown with a
coarse towel, uses the fragrant bath
tonic or dusting poder. AS she wears
baneul body order as she might
fear the plague, sne gives proper
attention to the arm pits, using a
deterrent Of one kind or another.
She has a wide choice of these
products that come III various
forms-powders, creams, liquids.
Thus does she begin the day
right.
When she puts on her makeup
she puts it there to stay. She does
not do touch ups during the day,
other than a new film of lipstick,
maybe. She wouldn't think of put
ting powder and rouge on a dusty
skin surface. Her powder pad will
pass inspection. Soiled powder pads
are a common source of blackheads
and skin infections.
PURSE IN ORDER
She has the kind of a hairdreSs
that doesn't blow itself into a tan
gle. Nor must she be ever fiddling
with stray locks. You can peep into
her purse and find it in apple-pie
order; that is a test. She is lavish
with clean stockings, gloves, hank

of spices or sugar. The old fash

processes of making cucumber pick

Shriveled pickles, it can be pair
getting just the right degree OF
crispness.
WHILE WE MAY LEAVE some
of the job to the great canning
concerns, there are few delicacies
we still like to do in our own back
yard and chow chow is one OF
them. Does anybody know why
they call it chow chow? Wouldn't
chew chew do just as well? BY
any name, chow chow is a mixture
Of chopped vegetables like a gal
lon of cabbage, half gallon OF
green tomatoes, a dozen onions, a
half dozen sweet ball peppers, red,
and a half dozen sweet bell pep
pers green. After everything is
chopped and you are through cry
ing over the onions, mix well and
place in an enameled pan or stone
jar. Put in layer of vegetables,
sprinkle with salt and keep it up
until all is used, salt on top. Let
stand overnight and drain well the
next morning.
AFTER BREAKFAST THE NEXT

for the day, you will be ready for

vinegar, two pounds OF sugar, a
half cup of ground mustard, six
tablespoons of white mustard seed
