It is much easier to carry on
with beauty routine in the midst
of luxury! 1t is easy to go to one
of the beautiful and restful beauty
salons which most of our large
cities provide, to exercise on an
attractive mat, in artistic surround
ings, far away from the demands
of your own home. The instructors
in these spots are usually eXcellently
trained and can give you the results
you crave.
1t takes much more courage to
lie down in your back yard, or on
your porch or your living room floor,
and exercise all alone. 1t is differ
ent matter when you have been up
all night long with Junior and must
snatch a few minutes for exercise
between necessary activities at home.
You receive a psychological lift from
the lovely surrounding of the beauty
parlor while you must whip yourself
into action in the midst of hectic
home life by will power and great
wish to remain young and slim and
to be as lovely as possible.
If you have the money and time
for the salons, by all means go to
one. If, on the other hand, this is
not the case, then do not be dis
couraged You can achieve the
same results at home!
1t is also more pleasant to buy
something in jar for your face,
jar that is lovely to behold and
has marvellous fragrance. The very
act of opening one of these and ap-
plying the contents makes one feel
glamorous, and no doubt, may have
subtle influence on your determi-
nation to continue with beauty
treatments. However, if you cannot

cream of tartar or l tablespoon corn

Pour slowly on beaten egg and con-
tinue to beat adding butter, choco-

seem quite hard enough when it
reaches the cool stage, melt bit of

add to it. This is fool-proof and
is always creamy as long as it lasts.

PLANT INFORMATION


From Mrs. G. w. c., SilDer Spring.
For Mrs. E. S. c., Washington: My
Garden Encyclopedia lists ''Pick-A-
Back Plant" as common name of
Tolmeia menziezi, which in turn is
described as hardy herb. good
material for rock gardens, having
rounded toothed leaves and small
green and brown flowers.
I have an idea the plant she has
in mind, however, is "mother-of-
thousands" better known as Kenil-
worth ivy, which is described dn
parO as a small trailing perennial
commonly grown as ground cover
or in vases or hanging baskets or on
walls, bearing lilac-blue flowers with
yellow throats. The botanical
name for this plant is Cymbalaria
muralis, and there are several va
rieties: Alba, with white flowers;
maxima, a larger form, and rosea,
with pink blossoms.
I have long wanted to find a
plant which would grow (profusely)
in vases on my mantel. and trail
gracefully down the sides. The
mantel gets no sun, and very little
direct light. I definitely have nc
green thumb" and have had no
luck with several varieties of ivy ano
philodendron.
Can any one tell me something
"sure-fire" to try? Perhaps a diff
ferent variety of philodendron? The
Kenilworth ivy above described
sounds lovely. Has any one had
any experience with it? Thanks for
many helpful hints gained from
your columns.

to me to be wise to either buy
the best on the market or make
your own.
This column is written for those
women who cannot afford to buy
cream and such and are therefore
neglecting their aging skins. You
can mix your own cream at home.
Go to the drugstore and buy some
cosmetic lanolin. Mix this with
olive oil. Add the oil until the
cream has a good consistency for
application. This cream is for lubri-
cation.
If you cannot afford an eye cream
then pat sweet almond oil about
your eyes each night. You can aiao
get this at drugstore. The white
of an egg is beneficial to the fine
lines on your face. Soak piece Of
gauze in the egg white and place it
over the lines. Keep it there until
it dries. Remove the gauze and
leave the egg white on for another
hour. Remove with water.
There are many small rituals you
can indulge in at home. With this
in mind I have prepared a leaflet

There is an old saying that good
cooks were born, not made. Maybe
10, maybe SO, but that adage orig
mated before the advent of modern
methods and kitchen tested recipes.
Nowadays any careful homemaker is
able to turn out a perfect product
If she selects a tested recipe and
follows the directions with care.
During the canning season you
will want to be more cautious than
ever to choose your recipes with care
and discretion. It's bad enough to
have cake turn out failure but
it's real tragedy to have a whole
batch of jelly, relish or fruit spoil
for you.
Today I went through my recipe
file and picked out some of my old
favorites for you. If you like the
English Chutney as well as I do
you'll find you didn't make half
enough. The corn relish comes from
a famous little restaurant in st.
Paul, Minnesota, noted for its Won
derful food and honey" atmo-
sphere. A friend of mine was noted
for the German dill pickle recipe,
she always brought a jar along
whenever the crowd had commu-
nifty get-together.
SO I'm passing them on to you,
hoping you'll like them as much as
I do.

Scar the steaks quickly in butter

and juices in the pan add l or 2
shallots or small onions, chopped.
Let these brown and then add a
