I wonder who originated the
theory that women are constitution
ally melancholy? Anyway, the be-
lief persists. Long ago a poet wrote
men must work and women must
weep, so runs the world away" and
that pattern of behavior for the
feminine sex has been generally &C
cepted.
Goodness knows why, for, taking
it by and large, women have no
more trials and tribulations to wall
over than men have, but while we
scorn the man who goes around
blubbering over his troubles, we
coddle the sob sister and lend a
sympathetic ear to her moanS.
And certainly tears are no aid to
beauty, for not one woman In ten
thousand can cry without her eyes
getting red and her nose swelling up
and looking like what Mr.. Mantilini
in Dickens story called "demmed,
moist, unpleasant body"
Still, for all of that, we cling to
the superstition that there is some
thing sweet and feminine about q
woman being free weeper, and we
actually respect those who never
"get over" things and who 60 along

Is Your Beauty Showing?

Somewhere between the ages of
~ and 10 the thought is bound to
come to all women, age is creep
ing up! I'm growing old!" Actual
ly, it's probably a thought that is
with us all acutely at various stages
OF our lives. The unfortunate thing
about it is, however, that by the
time the real truth of age dawns
seriously, too often the feeling is,
I'm growing old-now it's too late!"
But why this panic? Why is it
too late? Is it because a woman
believes you're only young once?"
Is 1t because she believes that it's
only natural "at my age" to become
unbeautiful? Is it because it's easier
that way? Is it because she's been
lax about beauty for a long time
and thinks now's no time to start?
This may be HER line of reasoning
but for YOU, don't believe a word
of it!
Let's have 1t understood, in dis
cussing the matured woman's beauty,
that we have NO reference to the
glamour, glamour beauty of Holly
wood. We're talking about the
beauty which is the possession of a
woman who has spent a goodly
number of years working away at
this business of living, and still
manages to be irresistibly attrac-
tive. We're talking about the woman
who capitalizes on her years, whose
life has been interesting and con-
tinues to be. The woman who man.
ages to find time to look pretty and
still attend to all her interests and
demands. We're talking about the
woman who at As, IS. rs or even
IS or SO has that quality of peren-
nial spirit and gayness, THAT kind
of beauty which charms every one.
Probably the very first requisite
for beauty, at any age, is good
health. Certainly no one can have
a sparkle in their eye and a look
of vitality If they don't feel well.
The woman who knows that she is
well, looks younger from that very
assurance. Good health plays a
very important part in the appear
ance of the hair and skin. The sad
fate of the woman over 40 is not the
silver threads among the gold" SO

(From Mrs. J. A. M, Hyattspiue,
Md

For the girl of 13 who would like
ideas for Valentines party refresh
ments, would suggest she serve one
of two sets of party menus.
For the first menu I recommend
sandwiches made of pimento cheese,
deviled ham and egg salad, all thin
ly spread, with crusts removed and
either halved or cut in shapes.
A cake with thick white icing and
very fancy trimming in red or pas
tells would do nicely.
Serve piping hot cocoa with per-
haps a marshmallow or whipped
cream topping.
Although the second menu is a
little more expensive, I know that it
makes great hit with teen-agers.
For the Sundaes, you can, of course,
use your favorite flavor, but I'd like
to suggest something little special.
II you can get those little red pep
permint candies used for pastries
and also very commonly seen on VAL
entine's Day, try them for some
thing new and tasty. Simply melt
them in the top of a double boiler
with a small piece of butter and
serve while still hot and runny on

The same is true of
the skin. Few of us can live through
a lifetime of smiles and tears
without few wrinkles. Who'd want

point is that with good health, your
skin will give an appearance of
youth and well-being that forgives

in the world to characterize your

This doesn't mean that the secret
of your charm lies completely in the
doctors ability to keep you we'll.
Spirit, for instance, is one of those
things that not many a doctor can
give you. And don't think that
spirit doesn't have its place in
beautyl All too often you may be
nagged with worry, you may be
faced with overcoming sadness, you
may be harassed by problems of
your home or your job. The unfor-
tunate thing about such periods of
depression is that it's seldom you
are excused for the effect they have
on your appearance. It's too bad,
but you are judged constantly by
the way you look. If you seem over
looked, hapless and carelessly put
together, that's the picture of you!
Heartless as that may be, the only
way you can combat 1t is with real
spirit and determination that your
problems won't tell on you. People,
even close friends, love you for what
you are and look-NOT for your
problems. There's nothing unique in
problems!
Immaculate grooming is one of
those things that's appealing in
women of all ages. The older you
grow, the less the chance you have
to let your grooming slip-and get

only selects clothes that are exactly
right for her kind of figure, but

Dorothy Dix Says

eyes on mink coats and pearl neck
laces.
But while the hydraulic power Of
tears can enslave husbands and
children, it is a boomerang that an
initiates the women who use it. For
no other thing does more to send
husbands of in search Of cheerful
women companions and to drive
children away from home than to
have to live in an atmosphere Of
perpetual gloom.
No tired man, who has had his
own trials to wrestle. with through
out the day, wants to come home at
night to a wife who will meet him
at the door with q tale of woe. No
children ever pal up with mother
who never laughs or enjoys any
thing. but who takes the fun out OF
everything they want to do by being
afraid they will get hurt If they
play ball, or run over by an auto
bile crossing the street, and whom
they find dissolved in tears OF
anxiety If they get home 10 minutes
late.
The happy homes, without excep-
ton, are those in which there Is a
woman who is a smiler instead Of a
weeper, woman who keeps her
troubles to herself, who chirks up
her family when they get discour-
aged, and who turns all of the little
misadventures of life into jokes
She may not be a good cook OF
penny -pincher, but the food you eat
to laughter has q flavor that nc
meal has that is salted down In
brine, and you can't pay too high a
price for gaiety.
The modern woman has many
faults, but she has one virtue that
outweighs them all. She Is not q
cry-baby. She is meeting life with
the smile that won't come on, in
stead Of the tears that viii never
cease fiowing. And that's some.

PRESSURE COOKER RECIPES.

cooker constantly since I was mar
ried almost five years ago and it is
my choicest household possession
Perhaps other readers would be in
terested in making:

of warm milk to four slightly beaten
eggs. Add "a cup sugar, " teaspoon
salt and teaspoon vanilla. Place in
custard cups or heat resistant dish
that will fit the cooker. Place rack

In cooker with y cup Of water
Place cups or dish on the rack and
cook four minutes after indicator
reaches cooking point. I have made
this using only 5 eggs and It's just
as good.
Fried Chicken: Cut q chicken
(around four pounds into pieces.
Dip in -four and seaSonings. Heat
cooker piping hot, add little short
cning and brown the pieces. When
all have been Drowned, put them
back in the cooker on the rack. Add
a little sliced onion and = celery
stalk, II you prefer. Add Y cup of
water. Cook Is minutes after indica-
tor reaches cooking point. This
makes the best chicken I have ever
tasted.
Dreaded Veal Outlets: Cut q pound
Of veal steak into serving pieces.
Dip in corn flake crumbs or cracker
meal then in well-beaten egg and
then in crumbs again. Season with
salt and pepper. Heat cooker, add Y
cup fat and brown the meat. Com
bine n teaspoon celery salt, tea
spoon Worcestershire sauce and q
cup OF sour cream. Cook 10 minutes.
Make gravy out of pan liquid.
Sprinkle outlets with parsley and
serve.
II you are pressed for time, try
preparing potatoes for baking as
usual. Then cook them 10 minutes
or so in your cooker. Take them out
and finish in the oven. They will
take much less time and taste Just
the same as the true baked ones.
Cooking potatoes and custard this
way Is really time saver for moth
ers Of small children.

QUILT SUGGESTIONS.

I find so much kindred spirit in
the RICH that I am surprised that
no one has made the following sug-
|gestion to the person or persons
who wish to make memory quilts
from their little girls dresses. To
my practical mind, it seems a waste
of time and energy to put together
a quilt from pieces OF material that
have had a great deal of the life
washed out of them. Why not give
the dresses to the Victory clothing
drive and know that other children
are wearing them and ENJOYING
them? Start your quilt with new
materials that will be worth the ef-
fort put onto it, unlimited in choice
of pattern or color.
CHILD FEEDING.
From Mrs. M. M, Greenbelt, Md. J
Mrs. E. H. r. of Falls Church
nigh care to try what I've been do
ing with my 8-month-old baby;
that is giving him a bottle as full
as I can get it when he awakens
(which is usually o'clock since the
time was set back and then I give
him his cereal and egg around 8
o'clock after I'm up for the day.
She might like to give him his or
ange juice and oil at that time, too
Mine takes a good late morning and
eats his lunch around / o'clock.
Never thought of trying any sched-
ule as flexible with my other two
children but pediatricians seem to
be more tolerant of adjusting baby's
schedule to the family's routine than
they were a few years ago.
ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
(From Mrs. S. H. J. w., Bethesda. J
For Mrs. X. W.: I got tired OF
bangs on my 2-year-old, and didn't
want to commence them on my l.
year-old so purchased several small
combs at the dime store. BY follow
ing the directions on the accompany
ing card I successfully solved the
problem. I part the children's hair
in the middle, make roll twist
from front to back. and insert a
comb on each side. Works perfectly
and even though the younger
baby's hair is very fine, 1t usually
stays all day.
To the lady whose 15-month- old
Is losing his appetite: When my older
daughter was Is months she lost her
appetite and refused practically all
food except her milk. I was frantic,
but three doctors, including her
pediatrician, said not to worry as her
weight gain was satisfactory and
that children often 60 through that
phase. Now her appetite is slowly
improving. The younger Il months
baby's appetite is still excellent. So
consult your doctor, then don't
worry If he says not to.
To Mrs. b. L. X: I have wall-to-
wall broadloom on my whole lower

than open floor space. 1t is also
warmer for the babies. With my
