unusual and very good. Hunt up, in
the vegetable market, a few heads of
celeriac-they are about the size of
medium apples. Trim off the small
roots and cook until tender with
out peeling. Then peel, slice in
quarter-inch slices and marinate in
French dressing for several hours,
serving on leaves of lettuce-and
making sure the celery is very cold.
Comes now" as the movies used
to say, the almond souffle-and
lovely dish it is, we'll worth the ex-
pense and the infinite care called
for in the making and serving. This
is dessert one doesn't throw to-
gether'-it is thoughtfully prepared
and when properly done is served
forth as the creation of an artist.
First find a suitable baking dish.
1t must be so large that this mix
ture fills it but half full, because
the souff1e rises in the baking. Next,
prepare the almonds. Take cupful
OF shelled almonds, dip in boiling,
then IN cold water, rub off the skins
and chop fine. Now make a mix
ture Of one-fourth pound butter,
one-fourth pound sugar and 3
ounces of flour, all rubbed we'll to-
gether. Set to one side. Now put
pint of milk to boil and add the
chopped almonds. AS it becomes hot,
add the butter, sugar and flour mix
ture and stir steadily until it be-
comes creamy "mush." Remove
from stove and add the yolks OF eight
eggs. one at a time, stirring we'll.
Then beat the eight whites of egg
to a stiff froth and mix with the
rest of the ingredients. Now place
In the well-buttered baking dish
and bake at about $50 degrees for
about 40 minutes. Test with a straw
to make sure center is cooked. (And
it might be sort of smart to try this
dish once or twice in solitary pri-
vacy, with only the ever-loving and
understanding wife as witness and
add When this dish comes from the
oven, serve, mister, and serve at
once. Otherwise. it may go "plop"
when your back is turned
For a sauce, plain sweet vanilla
cream sauce with some of the
chopped almonds.
In conclusion, may I say that~no
rookie at amateur cheffing need
try his hand at this dinner. 1t is
far from intricate-but calls for
some ability and practice.

A little over year ago a con-
certed effort to make the American
people conscious of the nutrition
problem which exists in this COM
paratively well-fed country began.
The large number of reflections
caused by the physical disabilities
in the first selective service en-
rollment, many of them caused
by nutritional deficiencies, was the
spur.
Since then public health depart
ments. social agencies, commercial
companies. magazines, newspapers
and radio have all done their utmost
to spread information in regard to
the selection of food and it's prepa-
ration.
This spring large food company
undertook survey of 5000 fam
lilies throughout the country in
order to find out whether this nu-
triton campaign had had an effect
upon food habits. First of all, it
was found that the size of the food
budget is not the deciding factor
in the selection of good food, al
though it is naturally much easier
to plan an adequate diet when
it is not necessary to count every
penny.
In about one-fourth of the fam
lilies interviewed there has been
an increase in the consumption of
what we call the protective foods
vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, whole
wheat and enriched bread and
cereals. That is not bad record
and it seems as if we could look
for more widespread improvement
in the coming year.
The survey also found that about
half the housekeepers interviewed
would like to have more informa-
ton in simple, understandable terms
about meal planning, food purchase
and proper cookery Many of them
are anxious to enroll in nutrition
courses which will show them how
to feed their families better. When
questioned, only 10 per cent of the
housekeepers stated that they
planned their meals even one day
ahead. Few families were using
the ideal quota of milk. Some of
these, however, were making use
of cheese.
In regard to food prejudices it was
found that the men of the family
are greater sinners than the women.
AS most housekeepers plan meals
first of all to suit the husband
this fact probably has deferred cer-
tain improvements which otherwise
might have been made. That it is
possible to overcome food dislikes
is shown by the fact that in spite
of the barbs which have been
launched at spinach, it was found
to be a very popular vegetable
There is no reason why other i'm
portant vegetables should not. even
tually share Its popularity.

|WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lo,cman

By Josephine Lovman
How about putting our lumpy hip
lines away for the duration? They
speak Of muscular laxness, inactiv-
ity, too much food, and slumping
muscles which have no place In this
day Of self-denial and physical 1T
ness.
The large hipline always has been
a source of embarrassment to the
fair sex in this distress. It has
spoiled her pleasure in buying
clothes and has made her feel
matronly and years older than she
really was. It's shame, too, when
1t is so easy to lose a few inches
of Of this measurement.
There are numerous exercises for
remedying this condition. The fol-
lowing one is particularly good for
the thighs. Stand erect. Lunge
forward with the right foot. A lunge
is a long, springing step forward.
AS soon as the right foot touches
the floor the right knee bends until
1t Is directly over the right toe.
Make the step long enough to feel
the pull of the muscles in the leg.
Push off from the right foot and
return to starting position (don't
drag leg back to place..
You can then do the same thing
with the left leg. Continue lunging
forward. alternately, right and left.
Then try your lunges straight to the
side, first to the right side and
then to the left.

husbands, and deal with 1t accord
ingly, is largely due to the fact that
they have been taught to regard
men as belonging to a super race
to themselves. Something harder,
stronger, more stoical, less emotional,
less affected by the little things Of
life. 1t never occurs to the wife, for
instance, that her husband can
yearn for a new hat just as much as
she does; that he is just as much
chagrined when she fails to notice
when he has had fresh haircut
and compliment him on how hand
some he looks, as she is when he
merely grunts, Or says something
about wasting money when she calls
his attention to the fact that she
has just come from the beauty shop.
Still less do women recognize that
men never outgrow their little boy
need of being mcthered. A mans
triumphs are dust and ashes in his
teeth unless there Is some woman to
whom he can go and brag a little
and who will tell him how great and
wonderful he is and burn incense
before him. No man but whose first
impulse in his black hour of despair
is to weep out his bitter disappoint-
ment on woman's breast. "As one
whom a mother comforteth," his
little boy instinct sends him sure
and fast to the source of all earthly
healing.
And there isn't a husband who
doesn't secretly like his wife to baby
him and pet him and tell him he
is the 'boofest ting In the world
and show him off before company
Just look about you and you will
see that the wives who do that
wear sables and have husbands who
eat out of their hands. Also, you
may observe that when a little gold
digger wants to get limousines and
emerald bracelets out of an elderly
millionaire she always addresses
him as "Laddie Boy" or "Babykins'
and treats him as II he were five
years old and not bright at that
It's sure-fire tactics.
Most Of the discord in families
is the result of the husbands ano
wives having different tastes anc
wanting to do different things about
which they clash continually. The
wife likes highbrow music, the hus
band Graves jazz. The husband
wants to go to a movie that vii
make him laugh. Nothing but {
three-handkerchief play appeals tt
the wife. The husbands idea O.
having a perfect vacation is to g
to some place where he can dres
like tramp and not shave for {
couple of weeks. The wife's dream
of a summer heaven is a fashionable
hotel where she can show off he
fine clothes and make the othe,
women so jealous they will scan
dalize her.
And so they quarrel and fight ane
ruin each others good times be-
cause the wife hasn't enough gump
ton to see that a husband is only
reacting to his little boy instinct
that made him hate to wash behint
his ears and to find his chief jo,
in the old swimming hole. and le
him 60 to them unmolested.
But the tragic phase of wive
failing to understand the little boy
in their husbands is when they TAKE
seriously their having slowed dowr
a little in their love making, o.
having passing fancy for pretty
face. For the genuine philandere
who is unfaithful to his marriage

the meat may be roasted or
