Set Routine
By Patricia Lindsay

The lady of leisure is a forgotten
woman for the duration"
She now gets up early, arranges
her home for the day and then
starts out on her war work Most
of the usual luncheons, matinees
and bridge parties are out of her
life.
OF course, one part of her daily
routine becomes more important
with this new type of life . and
that is the time spent on grooming
She must look right to feel right
so her grooming is an important
part of morale
EnglishWomen have discovered
that the best way to maintain
morale and achieve real efficiency
is to look their best every day and
all day long. 1t can be done easily
if you make set routine for your
selves-and stick to it.
Up early, a brisk warm shower,
followed by rundown of good
quality witch hazel. This keeps one
from catching cold when rushing
from warm house into the cold
morning air. And keeping we'll is
so essential in these days! One
should cream the face thoroughly,
but when the cream is removed
leave just a trace as protection for
the skin. Careful powdering, lip
stick, hint of mascara and you are
ready to brush your hair. The
careless coiffure looks pretty sad by
the middle of the day, so take care
that there are no struggling ends.
Be sure to carry in your bag a
few cotton pads folded in facial
tissues. and a small bottle of good
quality witch hazel along with your
powder and lipstick. BY 4 in the
afternoon when you get that tired.
drawn feeling, 5 or 10 minutes of
intelligent care with these aids will
revive you.
Soak a cotton pad with witch
hazel and clean your face. Witch
hazel is a light astringent and acts
as pickup. If your eyes feel tired
cover them with pads wet with witch
hazel for a full minute and they'll
feel fresh and bright again. A little
fresh makeup and you feel like a
new woman.
II your hair is beginning to fall
about your eyes or hang down in
weary little strands about your neck,
the same bottle of witch hazel can
be used to conquer that problem, too.
Pour bit In the palm Of your hand
and dampen your hair. You'll find
it will comb right back into place
and leave the hair bright and
shining.
When We simplify our grooming
problem, we also rid ourselves of
that bulging handbag that looks so
unchic, seems to weigh a ton, and
exhausts our patience when we try
to find something. Routine is every
thing-for today all Of us on the
home front are "in the army now.'

'Stina' Lives Again
In Charming Book

If you've been wondering what on
earth to give that feminine friend
who has "everything" and is a skill
full hostess as we'll as a great reader,
here's the perfect answer to your
problem.
Herman Smith has written a gem
of a book, just published by M
Barrows & Co. of New York, in
time for the Christmas trade. "Stina,
the Story of a Cook" is much, much
more than it's title implies. 1t is
fascinating glimpse into a way of
life that is rapidly disappearing
At the turn of the century, great
farms in the Middle West had
comfortable and even lavish exist
ence of their own. Mr.. Smith was
the youngest child in a family living
on just such a farm, and his in
fallible memory. coupled with a
mellowed perception, have painted
the picture of that life in broad and
vivid strokes.
Stina, the Alsatian woman who
crossed the Atlantic and came to
cook for the household is the mov-
ing spirit of the volume. The prod
ucts of her clever fingers are de-
scribed by Mr.. Smith in prose that
makes the readers mouth water
and then, joy of joys, at the end of
each chapter he gives the recipes for
the dishes mentioned, in meticulous
detail. Stina was that rare COM
bination-both thrifty and lavish;
many of her culinary works of art
could grace the most formal dinner
table, while others defy rationing
to destroy the balance and goodness
of meals.
Illustrations by Eleanora Sense
add much to the charm of the book,
which should be high on the list of
best sellers. B..

l. Can you tell me how to get rid
OF pimples? They say am at the
pimple stage but see no reason
for my skin to be sore all the time.
Please answer in your column for
read it all the time"
Answer-I5 is true that the oil
glands in the skin are more active
during adolescence, and must re-
ceive special attention. Your skin
should be washed with soap and
water several times each day. Gallo
mine lotion can be patted on the
pimples at night. There are also
some fine medicated creams which
can be applied. Be careful about
diet. Drink plenty of water and
fruit juices and avoid the following
foods: Chocolate. carbonated water
drinks, rich desserts too often, fried
foods, highly seasoned foods, coffee
and tea.
2. II am very nervous and want to
know if there is a vitamin that is
best for nerves. want to reduce
my waistline. What can I do to
keep from having sagging flesh after
I reduce?"
Answer-Vitamin B complex has
done wonders for many nervous
folks. Ask your doctor to prescribe
the dosage. All the bending exer-
cises are good for the waistline. If
you reduce slowly and diet so that
your health is protected, and exercise
along with your diet, you need have
no fear of fabbiness afterwards.
3. will you please send me the
formula for lanolin to use as night
cream?"
Answer-Lanolin can be pur-
chased at any drugstore. Cosmetic
lanolin is more pleasant to use. If
you can get it, add olive oil to the
lanolin. If not, you might thin it
down with mineral oil.
4. rs there an exercise to flatten
the tummy? What can I do to
shape my legs between the ankle and
the calf?"

ercises to f1atten the stomach. Lie

the two fingers as you gently squeeze
the whiteheads out. Don't bruise.

cloth. Do not use makeup follow
ing this. Stimulation is what the
little oil glands need Adopt the
habit of soap and a complexion
brush in cleansing the face. Gen.
eral health habits of exercise and
vital food will help. too.

Colorful Beets
Fairly Quick
To Prepare
Vinaigrefte Sauce
Adds PiQuant
Seasoning
By Edith NJ. Barber

Beets for the quick meal Yes,
for not only small beets but some
large ones can be cooked in 20 to
80 minutes. You can tell something
about the quality by cutting one
beet. If this can be done easily,
the time allowance for cooking
should be short.
The so-called winter beets are
more fibrous and sometimes take
several hours to cook if they are
left whole. In this case they may
be pared and diced before they
are cooked. They will bleed, but
the short time of cooking compen-
safes for this.
Beets may be dressed with butter
or with sour cream, which makes
them an epicurean dish. They are
good with vinaigrette sauce and
are always popular with that thick
ened sWeet-sour sauce which for
some unknown reason has taken it's
title from Harvard Picked beets
may be made at any time of year,
and you may make another very
good relish by combining raw celery
and onions with cooked beets and
spiced vinegar. Julienne strips of
carrots may also be added. Chopped
cooked beets are also very good in
combination with cooked spinach.

unreasoning, devasting in its effect.
We could not say of what we are
afraid. One thing is certain-it is
not a purely physical wear. 1t is a
fear of the changes that was will
bring, Of the new hardships, the un-
tried difficulties, the loss of old land
marks, of certain securities that were
dear because they were familiar. It
1s a fear of being afraid.
There is no need to be ashamed of
lear. Fear actually signifies a form
OF foresight-an ability to see ahead
TO imagine a possible evil. But it is
lacking the vision which enables us
to see beyond the ultimate good. The
half versed traveller looking up at
the lowing clouds sees bad weather.
but the trained pilot thinks beyond
to the upper sky and clear passage
above the clouds.
What is important about fear is the
power to conquer it. It is this ability
to be afraid and not give way to fear
that lifts man above the animals. It
is the power to pause and wait-not
run in blind terror-to 90 ahead and
walk steadily not only in face of
danger but in spite of fear. To meet
a fear face to face and not be logged
by its hot breath at the back of the
neck-that is the mark of man.
Whenever Pm afraid-which is Of
ten-l think of an English lad who
died twenty and more years ago. He
conquered fear. He lost his life-but
even in the dying, left a source of
strength to others. He was a tinnid
child-but he was taught to fight
fear. His sister told me how he would
be the first to do the daring things
