tain its beauty, santa ton and other
benefits just as long as it Is treated
with normal care. The following
precautions are recommended for
long service:
/. Never strike porcelain enameled
ware with hard, sharp blows, or
drop it.
2. Do not dash cold water into 1t
while it Is still hot.
3. Never let it boil dry. Use lower

reached the boiling point.
4. Do not clean 1t with coarse
abrasives.
When cleaning or handling, porce-
lain enameled ware should not be
struck hard blows with a spoon, or

dried or baked onto a pan, attempts
should not be made to scrape them
of with sharp instrument. Sim
ply let the pan soak a few minutes

The little salad that is part of
luncheon and dinner has become a
year-round staple-to the great ben
eft of those who eat these salads
regularly. But when warm weather
shows up we make a meal OF heart
ier, main-course salads of meat, fish
or vegetables-or combinations of
them. It's hard to find anything
tastier on hot summer days.
Salad meals are bit different
from our usual meal plans and our
appetites are often jaded at this
time of the year. What we need are
extra special tidbits to 60 with them.
Hot breads are perfect answer.
They add the right balance to salad

Eggs Are Listed
As Third Diet
Essential
Valued Very Highly
For the Minerals
And Vifa1ninS
Bv Edith M. Barber

Among the foods listed as essential
in our victory diet eggs come after
milk and meat. These are classified
as belonging to the protein group,
but because of the large water con-
tent the contribution in this respect
is comparatively small.
Eggs are valued particularly for
the minerals and vitamins which
they provide. OF the minerals per-
haps iron is most important, because
this mineral is not so widely dis
tributed as the others. Eggs are
lower in calcium than is milk, but
are higher in PHOSPHORUS and much
higher in iron, with which milk Is
scantily supplied. When it comes to
vitamins we find eggs an excellent
contributor of vitamin A, the B COM
plex and also supplying some vita
min D.
Most of the food value of the egg
is found in the yolk This is the
reason why egg yolk is one of the
first foods introduced in the diet Of
the infant to supplement milk. An
other reason is to be found in the
fact that the egg is so easily digested.
When possible one egg day should
be used for each person, children and
adults. If this is too expensive an
item for the food budget, the adult
may get along with three or four a
week. Another economy is to use
the egg yolks in the preparation of
dishes for the children and to use
the whites for other cookery pur-
poses.
AS substitute for part of the egg
quota dried beans are suggested. as
they contribute literally the vita
Minis and minerals for which we
value eggs. Soy beans, low in starch
and high In protein, minerals and
vitamins, are beginning to be used
as an inexpensive source of these
| food essentials.

Additional Notes
On Salvaging Fats
For War Effort

fire five anti-tank shells" accord
ing to the War Production Board.
From fats come glycerin which is
essential not only for shells, but
for many other war purposes. The

tically ceased To replace them
every housekeeper in the country
is asked to save all the drippings
which accumulate while meat is
cooking and to add to them fats
which have been used as long as
possible in deep-fat frying.
A tin can should be kept on or
near the stove and into it the drip
pings from the broiler, the roaster
and the frying pan should be
strained while they are hot. If
solid fat has been removed from
the meat it should be clarified and
then strained. The fat should not
be placed in glass jar or a paper
container, as these are difficult for
a collector to handle In your
neighborhood there will be meat
dealers and grocers who will buy
from you your store of fat when it
has reached a pound or more. If
you use cans which have held lard
or vegetable shortening you will find
marked on the labels the weight
of the fat which they have previ-
ously contained and you will not
have to bother with scales. Be
sure to have any containers you
have on hand. as these fats will be
packed in pasteboard cartons in the
future.

Just one more note-while you
should not take less than pounc
at time to the collector, do not
let the fats stand so long that they
become rancid, as this reduces the

fashions-either long or short. worn
up or down, but on the whole the
problem of how to wear your hair
this season, or any other year, de-
pends entirely upon your type of
beauty and person.
Hairdressers now are urging
shorter hair because it ties in with
war artivities and takes less time to
keep looking well groomed. But
shorter hair requires periodic per-
manent waves, occasional salon set
tings If you are not proficient in
setting your own hair, and may or
may not become you. If longer hair
makes you more attractive, do not
cut your hair. If your hair worn
down from a center or side part is
more flattering than if it is combed
up into rolls or pompadour, then
wear it as it pleases you most.

Thanks Must Be
Emphasized
Sufficiently
Special Visits Can
Replace Letters
To Your Friends
Bv Emily Post

by II muy EOH
An unbreakable rule Of good man
ners says precisely, the bride must
write q letter of thanks for every
present sent her. This rule has Its
origin In the need for showing
especial appreciation of what is
likely to have been an effort OF gen.
erosity as we'll as time and thought.
A bride writes, when best friends
and relatives send their gifts, I know
I shall want to 60 to see these spe-
cial people and thank them person.
ally. Don't you agree that having
done this, further thanks by note
would be superfiuous? The visits
will take much more time than writ
ing the notes, and I think they
would show more appreciation
Since the sole reason for writing
letters is to show appreciation, do
agree that it would be entirely prop
er to 60 and thank them, as you pro-
pose, instead of writing notes. In
other words, If thanks are SUFFICIENT
ly emphasized that is all that is
necessary. But to babble casual,
"Oh, thank you for your lovely
present" as they pass her in the
queue at reception, will not take
the place of an appreciative letter
of thanks-nor will q telephoned
thank you do, either.
Dear Mrs. Post: My name is Mary
Alice Smith and every one has al
ways called me Mary Alice-never
just Mary or just Alice. am to be
married very soon and intend to
drop the name Alice altogether. but
] should like to keep the Mary Alice
Smith Blank as my signature and
use those initials to mark our silver
and linen. Please tell me the ar
rangement to show that the first
two initials are my first name?
Answer-There is no way to make
this particular distinction, but you
can use whatever names you choose
and when you choose, without hav-
ing to give an explanation. But
think If you are going to keep all
four initials that you will have to
sign all four names on occasion
either formally or informally or in
business. Also you might consider
whether you want to have four in
itials embroidered on all of your
linen. The cost of additional initials
on silver is comparatively trif1ing
but embroidering extra initials or
many dozens of pieces will be ar
item OF cost that should be taker
into account.

almost Sybaritic ease, as compared
with hers, and as spending most Of
his time gossiping with his COM
panions, and telling and listening to
good stories while she cooks and
washes and mends and scrubs, and
has no more entertaining company
than the baby's walls and the chill
dren's squabbles.
And when she thinks that for all
her hard labor she gets only her
board and clothes, and those the
worst in the family, she bewails her
fate at having been born of the
feminine persuasion.
But now, for the first time, she has
had the opportunity to take mans
place in the world and do mans
work and really find out how the
other half lives, and she has discov-
cred that it isn't all beer and skittles,
as she had always believed it to be.
She has found out what it is to
toll to the point of exhaustion, then
force herself to drive on and do
more; to work under conditions that
fret her nerves to fiddle strings; to
be bawled out by foremen; to be too
tired at night to eat or sleep, and
to know that every dollar she earns
Is wet with her sweat.
Out Of this experience comes the
knowledge that her old domestic life,
when she could command her own
time and be her own boss. stop
for chats with the butcher and Cos
sip over the back fence with her
neighbor, and put off the washing
until tomorrow If she didn't feel like
doing 1t today, wasn't such a bad
life, after all.
So 1t is no wonder that in the
clash and clamor and stress and
strain of war work that women are
planning to go back to the little
homes they once disdained, and that
they are going to give to their hus-
bands an understanding and
sympathy and an admiration that
they have never given them before.
For they have tried out the mans
world and discovered how much
strength and stamina 1t takes to
stand up in 1t.

Do not wear ballroom" coiffures

Do not try out rinses, tints,
