It's a great mistake to think that
all women have 1t in them to be
good dressmakers or milliners.
There is little thing called talent
that cannot be denied. Women who
have it can do wonders with fab
RIGS; women who haven't turn out
looking models, even
when they paintakingly copied
from either sketch or q model.
Besides which, good materials are
far from inexpensive: it certainly

fort making up cheap ones.

There is probably no more uni

beans, and the black-eyed peas
which cook up quite like beans and
are called pea beans. There Is an
old saying that If you want to be
lucky all the year, you must eat
black-eyed peas and pig jowl on
New Years Day. Some folks insist
that the list must include sauer-
kraut, which is all right with me.
No doubt these victuals have been
recognized in older days as nourish-
ing and satisfying, before we began
to make such a fetish OF fancy
dishes.

Exercises play an important part
In shaping the legs and in relieving
congestion so the skin has the same
firm texture and even coloring as

notified, blush look so common to
limbs. Since we are planning a
special article on exercises for the
feet and legs next week, We will not
go into that part of the leg-beauti-
flying treatments today. but will
concentrate on the beauty that be-
gins in your bath tub.
Special Leg Bath
Do you know how TO battle your
legs? OF course. they go into the
tub with you and out. but this isn't
enough. Begin the ceremony by
adding fragrant bath salts or oil or
bubble bath to the warm water to
soften and scent 1T. The satisfying
odor of roses and spice or new
light pine essence are wonderful
pick-ups for this end-of-the-win-
ter beauty bath.

bit Of cream or hand lotion into the
thighs and calves before you get
into the tub. This uses UP odds and
ends of cream in nearly-empty jars

lotion. Now into your soothing tub

Amateurs Tackle Job

found need for her. il only to re-
model last years dresses. The wom-
en- who are handy with the needle
and can master the intricate ways
OF the paper pattern. with its mys-
terious dot and star code, is going
to get a break. since there's no
doubt about women wanting to re-
habilitate jaded dresses.
Here's work one can do at home,
work for the older woman who feels
unequal to war work. And don't
think of 1t as nom essential or SUI
perflcial work either. for it's neces-
sary to any economy program and
releases younger women for the
more active duty.
The shops report 40 per cent
increase In the sale of yard goods,
which certainly proves that sewing
is being done by amateurs as well
as professionals. And did you know
that some Of the greater shops are
holding sewing classes, and that In
a national sewing contest spon-
sored by the National Needlecraft
Bureau in 1912. 10000 entries were
registered. as compared with $4,000
in 1941. Reasons for the mounting
interest were varied, but the neces-
sity of living in a wartime economy
was stressed as the chief motivating
factor.
II you, or your daughter or her
friends have any spare time, why
not encourage them to form sewing
groups? Or II they live adjacent to
any schools Of design or dressmak-
ing, avail themselves Of opportunity

Miss Traubel. In private life Mrs.
William Bass. began singing at the
age of IL. when her mother, Clara
Stuhr. q singer of note in st. Louis,
was laid up with cold and couldn't
perform as soloist at a neighbour
hood church. That start inspired
the daughter in her own career as a
singer. She studied voice in her
home town and was a soloist with
the st. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
She sang on the radio and with
various orchestras. made her debut
at Town Hall In New York City and
then landed a contract with the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
Canny, she retired during her
concert singing days for year and
q half to perfect her voice. Most
singers would have gone on to make
some hay while the sun was high

knew she would profit by the extra
study. Her ability to sing the part
Of Isolde Is reward for her efforts.

Cooked Long Time
With our modern methods OF
cookery. many of our housekeepers
have gotten out of the habit Of pre-
pairing anything that takes more
time than just to warm ii through.
OF course, it is not necessary to
take the long hours in preparing a
dish that were used by our grand
mothers who owned Dutch ovens
and always had a fire going with
native fuel. At our house, we still
put a pan Of beans, seasoned and
we'll covered with water. in the oven
the night before they are to be
served for dinner. We still think
that the flavor of such long, slow
cooking cannot be beaten. But
most cooks use only few hours in
cooking these dried vegetables.
The beans are covered with plen-
ty of boiling water and kept about
the stove where the water remains
quite above cold. so that the beans
absorb it we'll. II the beans are put
to soak at breakfast. they will be

folks at this stage put in some soda.
to soften the skins, but that is
mistake, since the soda reduces the
vitamin content. and changes the
value as a nutrition source.
Certain cooks pour tomatoes over
the beans. but I will take mine with
just salt and pepper. and a little
mustard, besides the molasses. and
I want plenty of that. AS for the
meat, that is usually used for sea-
soning - there is variety: salt
pork. a pigs foot. the scrap end of a
smoked ham, or the trimmings from
bacon or smoked ham which have
been saved.

at which he really is good.
This is foolish attitude. because
a young child is as yet not good at
anything requiring skill. Any form
of artistic self-expression that
brings satisfaction to the child
should be encouraged. whether or
not he has special aptitude for 1t.
Indeed at some time. every child
should try any or all of the artistic
orms making pictures. making
music, acting and writing poems.
Through such creative Self-expres-
sion he is provided with an excel
lent release for his feelings. and
this helps him to adjust better to
the life which he finds around him.
All young children have the urge
to make pictures. This Is the first
of the art interests to manifest It,
self. All children can learn to draw
and paint. But only those posses
sing real ability. and in time get
the necessary training, may hope to
become artists. The crude drawing
of the little child is not intended
to express beauty, so don't become
an art critic when you look at them.
When the wagon which he Is max
ing has but one wheel. or II but
mustache makes the difference be-
tween q portrait Of a man and q
woman, don't laugh or criticize.
There are some fathers of an ex-
tremely practical nature who dis,
courage this pastime because they
do not want to have a struggling
artist in the family. The average
parent need not be concerned. how
ever. because the chances of the
child having a protracted inclina-
ton along these lines and develop
ing into an artist is remote.
The truly talented child should
be allowed to paint and draw to his
hearts content at home. where the
pastime should be treated merely
as a hobby. His all round develop
ment as q normal child should not
be sacrificed for his art inclination.
If later, when his general education
is well along. he still manifests a
serious interest In some form Of art,
then Is the time to allow more con-
centrated study in his chosen field.
