DO NOT MARRY

Concluded from page q
dition is something that can al
ways be remedied or should you
go to extremes, there are things
that you can do about it.
Today, there are thousands Of
good, respectable girls who have
left their homes in search of op-
portunity.
This opportunity might be a
business opportunity, but in most
cases it is an opportunity to find
a mate. The lives of too many
women are circmuscribed in small
towns.
There is a scarcity of eligible
men in some communities. There
fore, it is absolutely necessary for
the girl who would marry well,
to look to other fields.
The old saying, that love is
blind has a great deal Of wisdom
packed into it. Don't count on
marrying and then begin prepar-
ing to cure the situation by a di-
| vorce. Divorces are not as easy
as they seem. They r expensive
/ and take lots of time.

Beauty Routine
For Your Hands
BY HELEN FOLLETT

HANDS up, sister! Are they
handsome, or are they not? If not,
why not You have been neglectful.
You have not used your lotion faith
fully, or attended to other small du-
ties that keep the feminine mitts in
fine form and fettle.
The skin on the hands is subject
to far more punishment than the
cutaneous covering of the face.
More attention should be given to
them than to the complexion if they
are to retain youthful appearance.
Hands can grow old looking, the
same as faces, long before their
time.
Keeps Skin Soft
The natural lubricating sub
stance that keeps the skin soft and
smooth is removed because of fre-
quent washing. There must be a
substitute for this lack. Cold cream
isn't quite the happy choice; heavy
massage emollient is better. Use it
twice week at bed time, giving
your hands brisk massage to force
the cream into the flesh. And during
cold weather, you should do this
little task even if you use a lotion
every day, especially during the
winter season when the hands are
likely to chap.
The lady of leisure with plenty Of
time to spend at the beauty shop
for manicures and hand massage
has no problems. 1t is the hard
working housewife who has her
hands in and out Of cold or hot water
many times day who is troubled.
To keep them looking nice requires
diligent care.
Good Coloring
When creaming and massasine
the hands, be sure to do circles over
your finger nails. This treatment
will produce good colorin1, will
make for the health and we'll being
of your pink talons. Rub the cream
well into the cuticle that surrounds
the nails.
That is a good time to use the
orange wood stick. Lift the cuticle
gently, Never press down at the
base of the nail; you may so injure
the matrix that a deformed or
ridged nail will result.
Don't fancy that when you have
applied the glowing polish, you have
done everything that is necessary,
That's just the cream on the beauty
cake.

of an earlier stage of life may pro-
duce certain disorders. 1t may press
on loop of the bowel or cause ac-
tual twisting of the bowel. In either
case, blocking of the intestine re-
suits. Of course, when this happens,
the symptoms, such as fever, vomit-
ing, and swelling of the abdomen,
and pain, are severe. Operation is
required to relieve the disorder and
the earlier it is done the better is
the outlook for the patient.
May Rupture
Sometimes Meckel's diverticulum
becomes inflamed and may actually
rupture. In these cases, the symp-
toms are much like those of appen-
dicitis, with pain in the lower, right
part of the abdomen; there may also
be fever and vomiting. Operation is
required in these cases, also.
At times, bit of hard material
may become fastened in the Meek
els diverticulum and lead to inflam-
nation, producing much the same
sort of symptoms as are found when
a foreign material gets fastened in
the appendix.
Often the diverticulum can be
shown in an X-ray examination.
Should Be Removed
There are some who believe that
whenever an operation is done on
the abdomen and Meckcl's diverti-
culum is found, it should be removed
in order to keep it from causing
trouble in the future.
Meckel's diverticulum never
causes chronic condition, that is
one which continues over a long pc
riod of time, but it seems to be re-
sponsible for an acute or sudden
pain in the abdomen in a number
of cases.
1t is quite difficult to determine
before operation whether or not an
abdominal disorder is due to dis
turbance of Meckel's diverticulum
However, when an operation is car
ried out for some undiagnosed dis
order within the abdomen, careful
search should be made for Meckels
diverticulum to determine whether
it could possibly be the source Of
the difficulty.

A FAMOUS furniture store is
currently showing its house of the
year, nine-room beauty. 1t is just
filled with interesting ideas and
suggestions, many of which, al
though the display is on a lavish
order, could easily be adapted to the
average home. Principal lesson of
the display is that furniture of diff
ferent periods may be used through
out a house to give variety, while
creating a harmonious whole. So
modern and traditional are beauti-
fully mixed and coordinated by the
wise selection of color and fabric.
1t is interesting that the color
schemes are based on the majority
report of the 100000 women who
answered a countrywide poll. There
is much use Of green and white, of
yellow and brown shades and some
pink.
The master bathroom, lush af-
fair, is in pink for the walls and the
shower and window curtains.
Music Room
1t is an interesting sign of the
times that the music room has as its
star attraction, not a grand piano
as in days of old, but television
set. This room has three walls pan.
eled in white, the panels opening at
one end of the room to disclose the
radio and television installation
One wall is in mustard yellow with
draperies in dark green, yellow and
white. Furniture is 18th century
traditional, upholstered in hand
glazed green leather or in textureG
cotton in mustard and brown.
Quiet elegance is the keynote OF
the living room done in mahogany
reproductions of traditional pieces
The wallpaper is deep brown with
unusual all-over line drawings. The
carpet is green, the upholstery
green leather or beige and brown
fabric. The deep sofa is covered ir
the fabric, charming beige and
brown plaid cotton. A love seat and
an easy chair are upholstered in
beige and brown linen. Two side
chairs have green leather seats
Italian silk draperies in soft coffee
with cream color are suspended
from a valance with rope trim oi
green and the coffee with cream
brown.

vegetables; then add soup stock (or
water and bouillon cube) to almost
cover, and simmer until tender.

TIPSTICK is one cosmetic that
IL practically every girl uses
nowadays. But though she may
have her favorite color or brand,
the modern girl is usually very
glad to try out something different.
Here then, are several new ideas
along the lipstick line.
First, lipstick in a case that looks
like a small, golden fountain pen
when closed but is long, tapering
and graceful when open. Its length
makes for quick and easy appli-
cation.
A little applicator that is not a
lipstick but that can be used in lieu
of a lip brush, is excellent for get
ting that much-desired clear-cut
outline. A removable top keeps it
clean in your handbag and the
whole can be easily washed in soap
and water. It's handy to use. too.
Just fill the stippled side of the tip
with lipstick and apply.
Two lipsticks in single case is
a practical idea for the girl who
likes to use different shade for
daytime and evening. The case is
slightly longer than regular lip
stick but can be easily carried in
handbag.
Last of all, another lipstick in
long, thin case that helps steady
your hand as you apply the color.
You have a choice of variety of
shades and when the lipstick gets
low, more will pop up if you twist
the stick.

with pleasure, Madame. You
know all the canned tomato prod

shopping saw fine display. There
were all sizes of cans of the solid

Also all sizes of the more juicy
canned tomato to add to soups and
ragouts. There were also large and
small cans of tomato juice for break
fast or the cocktail, and little cans

to add for tomato flavor. There were
also plenty of the fine hurry-up

Valuable Food

to is one of our most valuable foods.
And canned tomato is equal to fresh
as far as the vitamin value is con-
cerned. This hot spiced tomato
served in bowls is an excellent idea" :"
"And it is hurry-up to get ready.
Just five minutes from the can to
the bowl" chuckled the Chef.
"How much do you allow for a
serving, Chef?"
"For family of four would use
a (No. 2la) can of tomato. 1t con-
tains 31a cups, making almost cup
for each person."
"And that's enough to supply
about 400 of the daily minimum

these, known as the vitellin duct,
