Beauty Banter

Time is THE commodity, and there

sweet. We've few aids up our
sleeve that may help. =.
For most of us, the appearance
of occasional blemishes and pim-
pies Is next to inevitable. There is
a medicated ointment that is espe-
cially effective in counteracting
these beauty blights because of its
drying action. Despite wartime
conditions, it's still available occa-

BOILED SALAD DRESSING.
Thanks to MISC. A. H,
Silper SPRING.
Recently some one requested a
recipe for boiled salad dressing. I
notice that all the answers which
have been published 50 far, require
cornstarch or flour. The very sim
pie recipe that I use from Edith
Haines' Tried Temptations") is for
a rather tart fluffy dressing that re-
quires no thickening agent except
the eggs.
For small amount: Two eggs, IN
teaspoons mustard, teaspoon salt,
2 tablespoons melted butter, 8 table,
spoons vinegar, l tablespoon sugar
Beat eggs, add mixed seasoning,
beat little more, add melted but
ter and vinegar. Set bowl over boil
ing water and stir constantly until
thick and smooth.
When cool Cor just before using
add ! cup whipped cream. Mix
well.
When I have no top milk to whip,
I thin the dressing with q little
plain cream, either sweet or sour,
but 1t Is not as fluffy that way.
BIRD SEED?
REQUESTED by Mrs. S. c.,
Washington.)
Will Mrs. w. p, Alexandria,
please explain how to keep the
canaries from wasting the rape
seed? I have noticed none of our
birds will eat them, although buy
the best brands of mixed seed. and
have often wondered why the seeds
were included in the mix whom the
birds didn't seem to ever eat them.
Does one just refrain from giving
them more seed until they are
forced from hunger to eat the rape
seed?
The Clearing House is like taking
a post graduate course in all phases
of home economics.
COOKIES FOR OVERSEAS?
IVY PLANT?
(Requested by Mrs. r. 4. +,
Washington.)
Before we know it, it will be Sep

ages overseas. This year I would
like to send cookies and I would
appreciate it very much If you
could give me some recipes for
cookies suitable for overseas ship
ment. Please let them be simple
ones as I am a rank amateur and
I don't have much time for baking
after I get home from work.
Another thing-I've had an ivy
plant for three years and in the past
week I've noticed the leaves are
full of little black creatures of some
kind. How can I get rid of them?

OYSTERS.
NThanks to Mrs. J. B., Siiper SPRING.
Soon oyster season will be with us
again. My father, who was In bus
ine$s Is years, was well known for
the following recipe Use select oy-
sters, do not wash. Strain liquid into
a bowl. To this add a beaten egg
and l to 2 tablespoons milk. Season
with salt and red pepper. Dip oysters
into fine cracker crumbs, then
liquid, and then into bread crumbs.
Press lightly to keep them fiat, fry
in deep fat until brown. Hope this
recipe proves as satisfactory as we
have found it through the years.

"A girl SAID 10 me the OCner DAY.
Il am 20 years old. I am a college
graduate. 1 have a good job and
am Self-supporting. I am not a
case of arrested development, yet
my mother treats me exactly as If
were a feeble-minded infant. She
tells me what I shall wear, what
1 shall eat. where shall go and
to be sure to be home by 10 o'clock
at night. And she feels that she
has a perfect right to read my let
ters and listen in on my telephone
calls.
This endless supervision over my
every act isn't because she suspects
me of having any wild impulses or
any yearning for the primrose path.
1t is simply because she has never
seen me as an intelligent adult. To
her I am still little baby girl who
will make herself sick on lollipops
if she isn't watched and who must
not be permitted to play with the
naughty little boy next door.
"One of the major grievances of
mothers nowadays is that their
daughters don't want to live at
nome. AS soon as they finish school
they get job. They insist on going
off and setting up a little two-by-
four apartment with some other
girl, where they have to sleep on a
bumpy couch and eat the meSses
they cook themselves after they
come home from a hard days work.
Mother can't understand it and she
fears the worst.
But her Sally hasn't left home
to become a wild woman. She has
left home to get away from moth
er's babying and because she can't
stand any longer being told what
to do and what not to do, and be-
cause she is tired of having to have
an argument with mother every
time she goes out of the house about
where she is going, whom she is
going with and when is she COM
ing home. Funny, isn't it, that

New Kind of Face Powder

most Republican leaders are con-
