Hints for Hot Weather

When the weather is hot, the
homemaker's thoughts turn to keep
ing cool while cooking, and to serv-
Ing meals not too hot and heavy.
Here are some summertime hints
from home economists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture:
First, continue to serve balanced
meals-the kind that include during
the day milk, fruit, a green and
yellow vegetable, and so on. Any
one who does the same Job the year
round needs enough calories in food
to provide for the energy spent.
Keep meals simple Dishes that
take short cooking and little prepa-
ration often have the most appe-
tite appeal on a hot day. Many egg
dishes are quick to prepare. Cook
ing on top OF the stove leaves the
kitchen and the cook cooler than
baking.
Make the most of fresh vegetables
and fruits. They are natural sum-
mer foods, neither rich nor calorie-
loaded. Raw juicy fruits make quick,
appetizing desserts. Serve raw crisp
vegetables often-carrot strips, tur-
nip or cucumber strips, wedges of
cabbage, pieces OF cauliflower and
sliced or quartered tomatoes.
II iced beverages are the family
choice, do not let them prevent the
family from getting the regular
quota Of milk in some form, such as
in cooked foods, cheese or ice cream.
Milk itself is refreshing when
served cold, as it should be to keep
safely.
Guard perishabie foods against
souring or otherwise spelling to pre-
vent waste. and, even more i'm

Dorothy Dix Says

1t Is strange thing that girls
who are always seeking some lure
that will attract men have never
found out that there is one charm
that transcends all other magic that
is within their reach and that it can
be acquired by any one of them
who Is willing to put a little head
work and heart work on it. More
over, it is a charm that time cannot
dim nor custom stale and that can
make even homely girl look better
to a man than living picture And
this wonder working magic is Just
being pleasant.
OF course, the sophisticated mod
ern maiden, who thinks she knows
all the answers, will jeer at the sug-
gestion that such homely, old
fashioned virtue as being pleasant
can attract men. but that is where
she is wrong. Men like to look al
pretty woman. They enjoy being
entertained and amused by a bril-
liant one. But the thing that real
ly gets them about woman is foI
her to make them feel comfortable
They like being with a woman who
doesn't keep them on their tip toes
trying to placate her, who isn't al
ways picking a quarrel or getting
miffed about something, but who
is just easy to get along with.
Think it over, girls. and you will
find the answer to lot OF mysteries
you have never been able to solve
As, for instance. why does plain lit
tie Sally have so many dates. and
why are her dances always cut into
ribbons at parties? 1t is because
Sally Is SO pleasant that the boys
like her and enjoy going with her

portant, steer clear of food poison
ing.
Some extra salt in hot weather
helps to replace that lost in perspi
ration. Drinking cool, slightly salted
water slacks thirst and helps to get
back lost salt. Serving salads OF
salted vegetables - the original
meaning Of the word Salads
another way Of resulting.
Practice kitchen fuel economies
For example, save gas or electricity
by not turning on the heat until il
is needed. Bring food to a boil at
high heat, then turn to low heat
just enough to keep the food boiling
Plan the ovens work shift SO the
kitchen, does not heat up any oftenel
than necessary. Start the oven jus,
in time for it to be ready when the
food is ready to bake.
Bake in the morning, II possible
rather than in hotter afternoon
hours.
If there is a porch or other place
to eat cooler than where meals are
regularly served, this change of SET
ting adds to comfort at mealtime.
Serving cafeteria style, letting the
family fill their plates at the stove
saves one person from taking many
trips back and forth on a hot day.

When a chap takes her out, he
knows he is going to have a good
time and come home pleased with
himself and the world, instead of
being sore at having wasted his
money on girl who made him feel
like piker.
You often wonder how the wom-
en- who hold down top-flight jobs
get them. 1t Is being pleasant more
than any other talent that does 1t.
Overworked, overstrained business
men have neither the time nor the
inclination to deal with women who
have their precious feelings spread
i all over the place, who burst into
tears when their work Is criticized
and have tantrums If they think
some one has infringed on their
prerogative. So when an executive
finds a girl who doesn't have to be
handled with gloves, who is always
cheerful and sane and reasonable
without friction with other people,
and who knows how to get along
he grapples her to him with hooks
of steel.
And you wonder at the spectacle
you often see of husbands who are
still desperately in love, after so
years Of marriage, with their ordi-
nary appearing wives The ex-
planationi is that the wives used the
enchantment that never fails. They
were pleasant to live with. That
is the one infallible secret for hold
ing husband.
So, girls. take this tip: Spend
as much time on beautifying your
disposition as you do on beautifying
your face. 1t will pay better divi-
dends.

Scents and Sentiments

Sometimes we wonder whether
women are wise in barring their
beauty secrets to what, we must ad-
init, is still mans world. Letters
like the following make us realize
that while our sclibbling may help
the women. 1t sometimes hurts the
men because 1t destroys their illu-
sions. This one particularly inter-
ests us because 1t comes from man
whose daily work brings him in con-
tact with beautiful women. Here's
what he has to say:
Some time ago In your column
you quoted letters from several men
on the subject Of hairdos and asked
other men to give their opinions. I
accept your invitation-belatedly-
because have an opinion, not alone
on the hairdo question, but a couple
Of other things that have appeared
in your column.
IT hasten to explain that I never
read beauty column before / took
my job as publicity man for a local

could obtain certain effects by doing
this or that, I was interested only In
a woman's general effect. In other
words, she either looked wonderful
or she didn't! Now I catch myself
subconsciously analyzing her hair,
her fingernails, her style Of dress,
ct cetera.
"Of course, knowing that she has
successfully adapted the many pos
Sibilities as to her own personality
makes me admire smartly groomed
Voman's ingenuity more than I ever
did before. Nevertheless, for me
that inward sigh that all men have
when they see beautiful woman
just will never take as much breath
again as it used to. Add, sincerely,
that's a genuine esthetic loss.
ITO get back to the hairdo con-
troversy Of some months ago, I
agreed with one Of your male cor
respondents who said 50 effectively
and truthfully. The prevailing
fashions obscure one of the two
loveliest lines-the curve of the back
Of the head and the neck!'
II have one final suggestion to
women-that Is, sthat they wear
more perfume. There's something
dreamy about perfume that makes
1t impossible to forget a girl who
has used it. Summer is here in all
its glory-and surely there breathes
no man with soul so dead that he
hasn't couple of glorious memories
of walking in a garden, or dancing
on a moon-lit roof garden with a
girl who had just the right. amount
OF perfume in her hair"
Our correspondents remarks on
perfume are most pertinent these
days when moments have to spin
memories to last long time. And
there Is no doubt that the right per-
fume can complete the spell of
dreamy dress, q romantic moon and
a summer garden. Notice, that we
said the right perfume" Be sure
to choose one that's right for you.
Be sure that you love it--that you
revel in the aura 1t casts while you
wear 1t. At this season OF the year
avoid the musky scents and choose
instead the lighter, dryer ones-per-
haps one that has caught the heady
fragrance of a summer garden. Then
spray yourself with mist of it and
capture the heart and memory Of
That Man.

The two clubs meet today in a
