The English ivy is another climb

ground, it may reach a wall or tree
trunk, and then will start to climb.
The sides of many houses have been
covered with English ivy. The leaves

autumn they become red.
The Boston ivy is a relative of the
English ivy, and often is to he seen
on well-shaded sides of houses in

grape family. Sometimes it is called

Most plants have stems which
hold them in position above the
ground, but some have the habit of
clinging to other plants. Many OF
the clinging plants keep climbing"
as the years go by. They may climb
a wall, the side of house, post or
tree.
The grapevine is a good example
OF a climbing plant. Wild grapes
often grow up the trunks Of trees.
Their tendrils keep stretching up

the plants may reach points many
feet above the ground.

west opened the heart queen. De-
clarer won and counted four dia-
monds, two hearts and a spade in
top cards. Two more tricks were
needed for the game. The club suit
would furnish these after the ace
and king had been knocked out-but
the difficulty was that South could
not afford to lose the lead twice, or
the opponents would run enough
heart tricks to defeat him.
This made it necessary to win two
additional tricks in spades. But hay-
ing reasoned correctly so far, South
erred in his execution. He led the
spade queen. West, perforce, played
the king and dummy took the ace
After that there was just no way for
declarer to win more than one more
spade trick, so he went down one.
Souths lead of the spade queen
could not possibly gain. No matter
how the cards lay he would have to
lose a spade trick. He should have
led low spade to the ace. hoping to
drop a blank king. as actually would
have happened, or to find the suit
split three three-in which case it

Dish of theDav

Out of Baltimore to Norfolk 60,
or rather used to go, the regular
nightly runs of the bay boats
and wonderful trips those were.
When the war is won, the civilian
crowds will no doubt return.
On those boats a wonderful sea-
shore salad is served. While there
may be considerable leeWay in
choosing the ingredients, in the
center Of a base of lettuce leaves
there must be a mound of crab
meat. The crab meat is mixed
with mayonnaise before being
made into the mound. Around
the crab meat are placed 8 or 10
shrimp. Bits Of firm meated left
over fish can be used, too. And
then quarters of hard-boiled egg
and chopped celery. And ripe
olives and green olives. Small
radishes, bits of picked beet and
sprigs of water cress are good, too.
With the salad there should be
freshly made toast and somehow
a cup of good tea or a glass of
milk are right at home. Some
guests on the boats like pieces of
cheese with the salad. while
others prefer their cheese with
fruit for dessert. All in all, this
is highly successful light dinner.

Glamour for Two
By Evelyn Hayes

Many strange things happen to
you during that long period when
you're trying to decide whether you
really have to name the baby
Lemuel after Bills grandfather.
First, there's the general rounding
out process that gets you down.
When you're blooming with baby,
it's hard to believe that you ever
were a glamour girl-or ever will
be again. There are other things,
too, that tear down your morale
and your glamour. Your skin may
become dry, your nails brittle, your
hair listless.
There isn't much you can do
about those conditions, but there
is plenty you can do to make the
best of them. Take the matter of
your alleged figure. cWhat figure?"
you ask bitterly) Well, If you're
going to waddle along pushing your
tummy ahead of you as though to
say, SEE! I'm going to have a
baby"-people aren't going to be
able to see much else except that
you are. However, if you practice
the rules of good posture, stand up
tall and carry yourself as If YOU
were a beauty, you'll be able to fool
much OF your public most of the
time. Aside from standing tall.
hold your head high and hold your
stomach in-and we're not kidding
Not only will you look better and
feel better if you make a conscious
effort to hold that line" but you'll
probably improve your muscular
tone as we'll
One of the bugaboos of good
posture is the doctors advice to
give up your high heels and change
to low ones. He doesn't mean that
you have to settle back on the heels
OF pair of old saddle shoes. Much
better Tor your posture, your looks
and your morale is to buy as pretty
pair as you can with a good solid
walking heel low enough for safety's
sake, yet high enough to enable
you to walk gracefully.
About the same time YOU switch
to loW-heeled shoes your feet may
bother you and, you know, there's
nothing like a pair of sore feet to
make you drag along like a little
martyr So do little "footwork. ."
TOO. Some gals find that the best
way to start the day on the right
foot is to pat your feet all over with
deodorant powder lightly over the
soles and between the toes. They
say 1t does wonders toward making
feet feel happier about their un-
accustomed load.
Lucky for you-must be the law
or compensation-as you get larger
your face gets lovelier. So do all
you can to increase your face value
Make it so pretty that people won't
be able to tear their eyes away
Work overtime on your skin. espe-
clally If 1t tends to be dry. Use
"a good cream and message it in
well. Carry the creaming to your
body, too, using it all over before
YOU shower. The soap will remove
most of it, leaving just enough to
nourlsh your skin. Or-there's a
fine foundation YOU might try that
not only lubricates your skin, but
protects it as well. One girl we
know used to complain that her
face just drank makeup" that she
always looked shiny. no matter how
Evening star., 1943-10-26

often she piled the powder puff
Now she swears by this protective
foundation, and says her skin never
looked better.
Also, give extra attention to your
hair If it's a bit dry and listless.
Beautiful locks can shed an aura
around your features-so try to
make them beautiful. Daily BRUSH
ing is the first step. Brushing is
always important, but doubly so for
you little mothers-to-be. Go in for
hot oil shampoos, too. Any good
mineral oil will do. Heat it, apply
with small pieces of cotton to your
scalp, wrap your head in a hot towel
for a few minutes, massage a few
minutes more, and wash out. The
result should be well worth the trou-
BILE. leaving your hair lustrous and
shining. If you're not up to doing
it yourself, amy beauty salon will
do the job.
And right now, let us get our lick
in on the subject of your styling
your hair. Now, if ever, you want
to have coiffure that does a lot
for you. Remember, your hair
should be styled not only to fiatter
your face. but also follow your gen.
eral contours. Your contours have
changed and so the way you have
always worn your hair may not be
becoming. Go to a good hair stylist
or go to work on yourself. Stand
in front of full-length mirror and
fuss with your hair until you
achieve something especially f1atter-
ing, something that will make your
husband explain, you never looked
| lovelier."

Fish Needs Glamour
To Make a Hit

Fish. cooked without any touch
ing up. can become most tire
some-but, for the same reason,
the rather colorless denizen Of
the deep is ready and willing to
be helped out with some grand
Accomplishments. For instance:
Use leftover cooked fish or
canned salmon or tuna: Remove
any bones and flake the fish.
Butter a shallow earthenware
baking dish and put the fish
fakes into a depth of about 2
inches.
Over this pour a good cream
sauce. Over the cream sauce
place layer of stale bread
crumbs and over the crumbs a
layer of grated cheese. Last of
all, some dabs of butter and then
a seasoning of salt and pepper,
with, if you like it hot, a light
touch of cayenne. This goes into
q medium oven until brown.
Peas and carrots in light cream
sauce and potato salad help the
casserole Of fish to round out a
nice main course. And to provide
an exotic touch, give it a French
name, Poisson au gratin"
For dessert--a sour cherry or
berry pie.

|Close Attention
Needed for the
Best Work
BY A ngelo Pafyi

Children ought to think about the
work they are doing and not dreaN
about other things to be done by
and by. Work that is done with
one part Of the mind, while the
other part Is occupied with schemes
and dreams Of another sort, Is USE
less work.
When the mind is directed toward
the work in hand, the intelligence
is frightened, increased and set full
force upon the idea. That must, In
the nature Of things, improve the
work, develop the idea and increase
the power of intelligence and skill.
Thinking about the job in hand
brings out fresh ideas concerning it
and often makes new idea func-
ton in place Of an older, less force
full, less useful one. Thinking about
the work in hand is what brings out
the creative forces Of the mind and
turns the worker into a creative
artist or craftsman.
That Is one reason, q most i'm
portant one, that I object to the
radio going full speed and full force
while child Is studying his next
days lessons. One part of him Is
engaged with the lessons and the
rest of him is playing a football
game, dancing, showing off, maybe
sharing wild adventure.
A lesson must take root to be Of
any service to the student. 1t can
not do that until the mind takes
hold of the idea, looks at it we'll,
remembers an idea to which this
one can be tied, dusts off that idea,
compares this one with it, ties it on,
YIELDS it into the associated mass
and files it away for reference. That
kind of work does not go on while
the radio RACES and baWls and
blares. Study requires a concen-
trated attention.
When teacher says, Sammy,
Mary, put your mind on your work"
he is warning the children not to
waste their time, their growing time.
II they are looking about the room,
making a gesture under compulsion,
they are doing nothing for them
selves. They are not adding power
TO their intelligence, their skill, or
their ability in any field whatever.
Gestures are only skin deep and
do not trouble the brain cells a mite.
1t takes concentrated effort to do
that, and learning depends upon that
effort
Think while you work is far
better injunction than whistle
while you work" Creative workers
do not whistle while they work.
They are profoundly silent.

An Adolescent Should Shun
Sophisticated Ways, Ideas
Bv Patricia Lindsay.

1t appears to me that the female
adolescents of America are too much
concerned with their beauty prob.
lens! They are too impatient about
growing up into glamour girls which
the screen makes so popular!
Common problems are these: Too
skinny legs, too dumpy figures, acne
pimpled Complexionsl too short
concern about which makeup tt
use, yearning to wear mature clothes
wanting to know how to develop {
bust line or how to quickly reduce
rounding hips.
A girl who is somewhere between
the age of u and Is, or even l8
must realize that she is changing
from a child into young lady. Blu
she is changing, she has not already
changed!
Nature has plans for her figure
her face, her height and her per.
sonality. In some instances she car
aid nature; IN others she cannot
must only live and wait!
Too skinny legs, for instance, car
develop into shapely ones in a yeal
or two; an underSized bust will be-
come normal when nature realizes i,
is time for the child to become a
young lady-but not until. A dumpy

tall, shapely one within a year or
18 months of natural growth. A tall
skinny girl can fill out into pleasing
curves in a couple of years. Those
things nature takes care of and there
is no way of changing or rushing
her sculpturing.
But there are ways to help nature
which most impatient adoleScents
do not do! During this teen age
it is mos1 essential to rest full
nine hours every night; to eat we'll
balanced meals with plenty of fruit
and vegetables; to refuse drugstore
sweets and between-meals snacks
unless those SnackS be crisp. raw
celery, carrots, caulif1oWer; or a
glass of milk or fruit juice. The
adolescent should get plenty of out
uoor exercise and if her time is sadly
limited she should walk to and from
school, even though school might be
two or three miles! She will be a
better beauty for doing SO, providing
she wears good walking shoes and
swings along in good posture.
POSTURE-NoW that is where
she can help nature most. A young
miss should carry herself erect
with abdomen in and up, shoulders
back and down, head high in nice
poise-buttocks tucked under. not
sticking out as if she were about
to "jive." Good posture practiced
