|WhyGrow
| Old?
By Josebhine Lowman

It is up to date news when an
authority on beauty selects women
30 or more as Americas most beau-
tiful ladies. Walter Thornton,
sculptor, syndicated beauty column
mist and top model agency man for
IS years recently did just this.
Said Mr.. Thornton, TRUE beauty
is not achieved until a woman has
matured, for beauty is many things.
It's more than good bone structure,
harmonious features and a SYM
metrical figure! 1t Is also charm,
poise and intelligence. It is sub
tlety and imagination in projecting
beauty-which only comes with the
years.
by the time woman has reached
30 she should be a practiced artist
in every sense of the word. She
has developed her talents. She has
learned about color and form. She
knows how to walk. how to talk. how
to dress, and has finally hit upon a
style of her own. A 19-year-old girl
is still a pretty baby eating with a
pusher, but at 30 she knows how to
handle her fork and knife"
Those are electric and exciting
words from q man who knows what
he is talking about, and one who
has popularized the teen-age pin-up
girl. Mr.. Thornton finishes with
one wallop which should send us
scurrying about our daily routines.
It is this, There is no credit due
pretty young things because they
have youth to back up their beauty
but a real tribute is due to mature
beauty because it shows the charac-
ter, effort and brain to make the
most of oneself
Styles in beauty change from time
to time just as styles in clothes. do.
The star Of yesterday would be a
bore and flop today. 1t seems that
modern standards of beauty are
saner than ever before. Today every
woman can be lovely.
I have always felt as Mr.. Thornton
does. In early youth there Is no
denying the luscious bloom and the
attractiveness which all young
things have, but for real magnetism
we must look for the charm and
wit of a weu-disciplined mind in
combination with the grace and
poise of well-proportioned body
Therefore, it seems rather sad
that so many women allow neglect
and boredom to rob them of what
could be the most exciting years of
their lives. Just when they are best
equipped to live vibrantly, life some
how seems to go limp In their hands.
Why not start out on an adventure
that of making the most of yourself?
In order to do this you must first
examine the tenets of good health
because there can be no real beauty
without the sparkling vitality of
health and the things you do in the
name Of health will bring you lovely
by-products in physical attractive
ness. This includes good nutrition,
exercise, outdoors living, loss of over
weight and plenty of sleep. After
that, learn about color and form,
hairstyling and facial gymnastics,
and care Of the skin.

PRESSURE COOKER,
STEAM IRON,

From Mrs. D. E., Churchton, Md. J
To the lady who inquired about a
pressure cooker and steam iron: /
was given a pressure cooker and
wouldn't be without it now. Vege-
tables taste SO very much better
and many guests who didn't like
various vegetables have found them
tmuch to their surprise) really de-
licious when cooked in the pres
sure cooker. The saving in time
is an asset, too.
A steam iron Is wonderful for
pressing mems suits or any wooden
articles, as you don't need to use a
pressing CLOTH 1t is also a big help
in pressing seams, etc, when max
ing a dress. However, if you are
only going to have one iron, 7 be-
lieve a regular iron would be more
satisfactory, as the steam iron is not
particularly good for regular laun-
dry work.

MERINGUES
QUERY?
From Mrs. r. B. S., Garrett
7 Park, Md
I, too, had a great deal of trouble
with meringues, until my mother
questioned all successful meringue
makers in her mission society. 1t
seems that eggs require cooking at
a low temperature no matter in what
form they are used. If the oven is
too hot, the meringues will shrink
and tougher. Meringue making is
a process of drying out the whites
and requires a low temperature for
a long time. The times given by
these successful cooks Is from &c
minutes to an hour. The fact that
your meringue waters, proves that
you are not cooking your meringue
long enough. The watering is the
uncooked egg white settling out. II
your oven will not maintain q low
enough temperature, about $50 de-
grees, leave the door open slightly
You are also using too much sugar
as Is indicated by its being sticky
or beading the top. Some of my
mothers friends used only two tea
spoons of sugar for each egg white
Others claimed that was not sweet
enough, that one tablespoon per
egg was correct. None recommend
ed more than one tablespoon per
egg. Do not forget to salt and sea-
son your meringue. The salt is
added before beating and the sugar
and vanilla or lemon juice after
peatlng. A lew drops OF vanilla or
a teaspoon of lemon juice will be
about right. We do not like our
pies kept in the refrigerator so ]
do not know how they act under
those conditions. If your lower crust
gets soggy. try glazing it with egg
white before baking. I put the filline
in hot, add the meringue and bake
Immediately. I. too, have had the
boxes of pudding that do not thick
en-. I added the egg yolks left from
the meringue and the result was
about right.
Now will some one please tell me
how to make cocoa or chocolate milk
so that it does not settle to the bot
tom upon standing? That made by
the dairy stands suspension, why
doesn't mine?

SHORT VS.. LONG.

from Mrs. B. M. A., Washington. J
In regard to Short VS.. Long
from Miss C.. NJ in Chicago. let's
remember that what Mrs. E. T. A.
particularly objected to in wearing
the short feather cut hair-do was
the frequent visits to a beauty salon
to keep the hair style in presentable
condition. Second, Mrs E. T. A.
objected to this short style as being
unbecoming to most mature women
IS ard over. Just signing herself
Miss" indicates that our Chicago
correspondent is most likely younger
Miss c. M. has declared that her
short hair-do requires weekly ses-
sion at the hairdreSser, weekly
baking under the dryer, which any
honest salon will admit is drying to
the scalp. Furthermore, Miss c. M
has just had her hair cut short and
has not yet learned that it will re-
quire three to four permanents a
year to keep that very short hair
with sufficient curl.
As for appearance, I can vouch
for Mrs. E. T. A., who is my sister,
in-law. She is stunning, a beautiful
woman of IS, with an enviable fash
ion model figure. Her hair is beauti-
full and at every social function ]
have ever attended with her, I have
heard many comments from women
most Of them wearing the short cut
hair style, as to the stunning man
ner in which Mrs. E. T. A. arranges
her hair. Many of the women say
they'd let theirs grow in a minute
II they thought they could copy this
lovely hair-do. Miss c. M. apparently
assumes that the hair-do consists
OF heavy braids; this is not So 1t is
a wrapped or twisted effect and very
smart in appearance, making pos
sible the wearing of the very latest
millinery styles. The quality and
beautiful condition of the hair is
the main thing. My sister-in-l law

about, so she wields the brush freely

COMMENTS.
(From N. J. H.. Alerondria.)

SH~ >'~ >~S sAsS~~fSr te'I
People are always writing in,
speaking words of praise for the
RICH and rightly so, for it is
democratic thing of the people
themselves. Sometimes I have
wondered why the folks pay so
much attention to outside appear
ances of things and so little to the
deeper aspects Of some of the prob
lens.
But the mother of four children
who wrote in is surely bringing out
a certain something I am very
glad te see. Note the comments
from Z. M. c., Riverdale, wherein
she says for the mother to pray
and more than that, not for new
maid, a washer or even place on
the diaper wash, but for clearer
vision. E. M. c., my friend, you
yourself have prayed. and have had
the vision, or you could not write as
you do. And then the comment of
B. B. T., Brandywine, What this
mother needs is not so much advice
as help and an understanding
friend" How well she knows. Un-
derstanding! How little of it We
find.
Nearly every one, even those who
make mistakes does the best he can
with what he has to do with and
the knowledge he has at a given
time. Afterwards when he is wiser.
he would do differently. yes. but at
the given time-you think it over,
tor it is true.
If this mother could afford a
sitter, so she could go out evenings,
she would still have the little ones
on her mind; if she could send out
the washing and had enough seer
sucker or the babies liked canned
5goods-maybe she just can't afford
to do any different, maybe there
isn't enough money, and she still
has to bring up four children and
husband, and keep bright and happy
like q magazine ad-and how can
she do it? She is the one who knows
she has to or she wouldn't have
written. These two who have writ
ten are right, she will do it, but it
won't be by gadgets alone, or by
shifting any part of the burden
Help from within, and understand
ing from without, and yet I'll bet
she even so appreciates the sagges-
tions some of those who have no
idea of what she is up against have
made. She is like that Yes, Mrs.
A. r. r. with her four children is
o. K. and I'm for her.

spread with butter and shortening,
sprinkle thickly with light brown

From Mrs. P. S. M, Washington. J
This recipe has never failed with
my lemon pies. The three egg yolks
are put in the pie filling and the
whites are beaten very stiff. Add
3 tablespoons sugar. That is all
After lemon filling has cooled and
been put into pie shell spread on
meringue, but here is the secret.
Do not have an air space between
meringue and pie crust. I generally
take a knife and poke egg whites
into each crevice of the pie crust
Another secret, the oven must be
extremely hot and place rack as
close as possible; mine is generally
about or inches from top. It
only takes about "a or minutes
to brown: however. look at it at
times. as it can so easily over
brown. If it cooks too long beads
of water will appear on the
meringue. Remember. l tablespoon
of sugar to egg white and no
cream of tartar. I have a wonder

Army mess sergeantS, whose problems are already numerous, have been instructed to do everything pos sible to put more food in the stomachS - less in the garbage can" and have been asked to help the drive by:
 1. Studying food preferences of each individual mess and prepar- ing large quantities of only those foods highest in popularity.

 B. Making food as eye-appealing
