WhyGrow

Bv Josebhine L0,vman

I feel sure that one reason women
have a difficult time reducing, even
when they feel they are eating very
little, is due to a lack Of under
standing about calories. Let us
take, as an example, two meals, a
lunch and a dinner, with the ac-
companying thoughts.
Suppose you are at home alone
for lunch. You are really anxious
to lose weight and are determined
to eat light lunch. You eat six
small saltines, half cup Of gelatin
which was left over in the ice box
and drink glass OF unskimmed
milk. That certainly isn't much,
you think. That lunch gave you
800 calories, which still isn't much.
However, you could have had the
following menu for the same num-
ber of calories; salad made Of
two small tomatoes, a lettuce leaf
and three tablespoons of cottage
cheese. You could also have eaten
one slice of whole wheat bread and
drunk a glass of buttermilk or
SKINNED milk.
Now let's take dinner! If you
had one Dreaded veal outlet, n cup
Of macaroni Cor eight pieces OF
French fried potatoes, or IA cup OF
creamed or scalloped potatoes), "
cup of creamed peas, two small bis
cults, a green salad with III table,
spoons of mayonnaise and baked
apple you would have consumed
about $50 calorieS.
If your dinner menu had included
three slices of chicken or one me-
dium large helping of lean meat,
10 asparagus stalks, one cup OF
greens, one baked potato, a green
salad with lemon juice and a raw
apple you would be we'll filled up
from the standpoint of comfort and
also nutrition. And you would have
eaten only ATS calories. This is
without seasoning. You could use
one pat of butter, distributing 1t
over your potato and vegetables
and still be far better off in calorie
count and in vitamin intake. Think
1t over.
If you wish to have my calorie
chart, leafiet No. 36, send a stamped,
envelope with your
request to Josephine Lowman in
care of The Evening Star.

to CLEAN. The shine disappears and
hours afterward you still don't have
to worry about that shiny nose
Reapply at any time during the day
whenever you decide to renew your
makeup. If you possess oily skin 1t
is suggested you use it in place of
a foundation. This colorless liquid
also possesses a cool, astringent
quality that is most refreshing as
pickup, too.
WISH I COULD WEAR NAIL
POLISH; Say a lot of women al
lergic to nail polish. Sometimes this
allergy may cause the eyes to burn,
lids to puff, and rash to appear
on the neck, chin and eyelids. How
ever, should you get these symptoms
don't think right away that it's due
to your polish. For those Wemen
whose doctors DEFINITELY state
that it is due to nail polish, there's
good news tonight! Now you can
get mail brilliance" free from all
substances known to be irritating to
the skin. The polish is easy to ap-
ply and comes in a bottle with a
finger-fit top.

On FurS .
Bv Marian Rail

It's the sawdust trail for that
fur coat on its way to storage.
Furriers remind us that we have
had a long hard winter and as a
result furs are in bad shape.
Many should be properly cleaned,
using the sawdust method.
Talking with Harry Jay Treau,
an expert in the field of fur re-
modelling and repair. one learns
that If properly cared for, fur
garment will last through more
than one fashion cycle. For in
stance, records reveal that a
modest little kidskin coat re-
modelled in 1941 is being re-
modelled again this season, this
time emerging as smart jacket
with new high styling. The secret
lies in not letting skins dry out
and in having repairs made
promptly. Actually more damage
is done to furs by letting oils dry
out than by the wayward little
moth. Moth-eaten areas may be
replaced by new skins but oils
that are partially gone only can
be restored by using special pre-
parations. Women are cautioned
not to store furs in moth proof
bags or cedar closets because
skins will dry out.
Last season remodeling fell off,
mostly because women weren't
too sure of the new style trends
but now that modification is the
keynote they are making various
changes in their outmoded furs.
New rounded shoulderlines and
wide sleeves nipped in at the
wrist with smart little cuffs are
fur fashions that women have
accepted. Also they like the new
collars that range in size from
little notched shapes to wide
sailor Like types. Capes and stoles
were never more fashionable and
they are so right" with the new
clothes that women are having
jackets and coats made into
these little furs' from jackets
and coats that otherwise would
be too costly to remodel. Even
the simple process of removing
some shoulder padding will i'm
prove the shoulder line of many
old coats.
Minor adjustments are not too
costly and many a husband will
gladly foot an alteration bill
rather than buy a new fur coat
for his wife. Much depends upon
the fur garment itself and prices
will vary in different localities.
While there's life In a fur
there's hope 1t may be re-
fashioned into a thing of beauty.

Exhausted unto death, the swift
footed runners deposited their bas-
kets of mountain snow before the
cooks of the Emperor Nero. Hastily
the melting crystals were favored
with honey and fruit juices and
placed before the chieftain OF the
Romans. The dish was fruit ice. the
predecessor of ice cream as We know
it today. The year was 81 AID.
Ice cream, which, like the hot
dog, is considered a typical Ameri-
can concoction, actually has a his
tory as continental as caviar. cThe
illusion that it is an American IN
vention has been deliberately fos-
tered by European makers, who ad-
vertise lice cream just like the

When Marco Polo returned from
his Oriental odyssey, among the
treasures he brought home to Italy
was a recipe for frozen dessert
whose ingredients included milk.
The fruit ice of Nero had evolved
through the centuries into sherbet,
which Immediately won great favor
with the Italians and in rapid sue
cession with the French (who gave
it the French touch" that made it
even more like the ice cream OF
today, and the English. In fact.
so popular was the delicacy with
Charles l that his chef was PEN
stoned into secrecy in order to pre-
serve his recipe for ice cream for
the table of the English, monarch
alone.
But ice cream, like freedom, was
not meant to be the exclusive
property of the high born. When
the Pilgrims settled in America, the
knowledge of making ice cream
came across the Atlantic with them.
One of the earliest references to
its existence in this country is to
be found in a letter, written in 100
by a guest of the Governor OF
MARYLAND. "* we had dessert
among the Rarities of which
it was Compos'd was some fine
Ice Cream which, with the Straw
berries and Milk, eat Most Deli
ciously."
Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, whose
parties were always great social
events, caused a more than usual
sensation on June l3. 1889, when at
dinner party for Gen. George
Washington, she served ice cream
for dessert.
The generals appetite for the
frozen delicacy was apparently in
satiable, for during the summer OF
179O within a space of only two
months, he purchased over $500
worth of the sweet from number 76

Centuries of Ice Cream

ture of White House dinners In
1909 when Dolly Madison included
it on the menu of her ball celebrat-
ing her husbands second inaugural.
But regardless Of its enormous
popularity, ice cream was still some
thing that took a great deal OF
hard work to make and which con-
sequently was served only on the
most special of occasions. When
Dolly Madison's servants made the
ice cream served at the ball, they
had to beat it by hand. then shake
it up and down in pan Of salt and
ice for an almost interminable time.
The first improvement in its man
ufacture was made by woman.
Nancy johnson (an unsung heroine
of American historyD who in l846
invented the hand-crank freezer
0ike in grandmaw's day, remem-
berD. And so on to even more i'm
proved methods of manufacture and
mass production. The first ice cream
plant in America was started by
Jacob Fussell here in washington
in 1851, and was quickly followed
by others across the country.
Then came the ice cream parlors
where grandma and grandpa held
hands over a dish Of tutti frutti and
the advent of sundaes and sodas
and parfaits and splits and most
important, the ice cream cone. Evers
that everyday feature has past"
It was first presented at the st.
Louis Worlds Fair as a novelty OF
the occasion, way back in 1904. And
today over two and half billion
of these novelties" are sold yearly!
Ice cream in any shape or form Is
consumed by the billion and half
quartfuls in a year in this country.
That's something like liz quarts
per person We may not have orig
mated ice cream but we certainly
make and eat more of it than any
other country. And Washington, say
the statistics of the Ice Cream Mer-
chandising Institute, has bigger
appetite for it than any other city
in the U. S. A.
Vanilla, of course, is the favorite
flavor everywhere of the more than
100 available, with "chocklit" and
strawberry ranking second and third
respectively in the appetites OF
Americans. And now Is the hour for
ice cream, for. naturally, more than
half our yearly consumption is de-
voured in the four summer months.

Just arrived in Washington. Scalp
and hair troubles beset number OF
males and females alike. Dandruff,
dryness, or itchiness are not to be
taken lightly. Whatever your pet
hair peeve-dull, lifeless hair is not
to be desired. Our attention has
been brought to hair and scalp
treatment that is said to be an un-
usually effective conditioner. The
man who created the formula first
used it only in his special course of
six treatments, but recently he de-
cided to market the formula alone.
To give yourself the treatment re-
uuires no more trouble than you
would ordinarily undergo in having

tions come with the hair conditioner.

For Mrs. l.. w. F.: In reference
to your query concerning your verse
YOU sent to The Star, wish to say
that it was not a poem. 1t was a
song. I have been singing it for
about IS or go years. I cannot play
a piano properly, yet I play by ear
using about three fingers. MY
daughter often asks me to play that
piece. I do not remember ever haV-
ing heard any more than the one
verse. 1t may be a one-verse song,
if there is such a thing. You are
the first person I have ever known
to mention it. I have never heard
it sung since I was child. I am
now II years of age. When 1t Is
sung or played, you repeat 1t, sing
ing or playing the first two lines
little differently then the second
time.
Incidentally. in the verse you
have written the word My which
I believe is wrong. I have always
said Mine"
