Beauty
Notes

Had a chat yesterday with Miss
Virginia Dixon. who is in WASH
ington until the 18th of this month
on a very important mission-that
Of consulting with you regarding
any beauty problem that may be
vexing you.
She is frequently asked about
oily skins. She points out that
the needs of an oily skin are
entirely different from that of dry
skin. And a sensitive skin should
have its own preparations.
Miss Dixon made some very
revealing remarks concerning bad
compilations. They are not re-
stricted to just women. Men, too.
can suffer from skin bumps and
blemishes.
Two of the medicated prepara-
tions. cream and a lotion, put
out by the famous beauty house
that she represents, enjoy a wide
sale amongst a great many men,
women, and adolescent youngsters.
A bad complexion can not only
make a person. uncomfortable but
quite unhappy. It's wise person
who when presented with an op-
portunity to talk it over" with a
competent beauty consultant con-
corning skin problems-does so.
Well be happy to let you know
which F street store Miss Dixon
is visiting. E. S.

Eel and Onions

In France. where they give the
eel the culinary honor due him,
they have wonderful way with
a dish of eel and onions.
A nice plump eel is secured at
the fish market. Perhaps the fish
man will skin him-perhaps not.
In the latter case he is taken
home, washed and then skinned,
the procedure being to tie a string
around the cells head, hang it to
a hook; cut off the skin at the
head and peel off the skin toward
the tail with a good downward
pull.
Then it is rubbed with salt and
allowed to stand in water for an
hour or so. 1t Is cut into 2-inch
pieces. which are put in a sauce
pan with a cup of water and q
cup Of red wine, pepper and salt
to taste, half a Glove of garlic,
a minced onion and an herb
bunch. The eel is cooked until
tender.
Meanwhile a cupful of spring
onions. with the green tops on,
are sliced and sauteed In butter.
These are added to the cooked
eel; all are cooked together for 5
minutes longer. Then the eel is
arranged on a platter and gar
nished with toast points. Over all
goes the sauce left in the pan.
And don't think you can't eat

By Josephine LoWmon

I asked Dorcas Campbell. as
sistant vice president of the East
River Savings Bank in New York
City. what she thought about
budgets. She answered, Il do not
believe in them"
Then she explained that she
does not believe in standardized
budgets because how you spend
your money is such an individual
matter.
First you must decide where
your happiness lies. You must
have some idea of what you are
shooting for in happiness as well
as in security. Travel may mean
much more to some people than
a new car. Money for books OF
music may give you more value
than money spent for the more
usual forms of entertainment
You must face yourself honestly
and decide.
Miss Campbell also mentioned
the fact that people will not be
honest with themselves. They will
not allow for those things which
are certain to happen-such as ILL
ness. accident. unexpected guests
wear and tear on household fur
nishings and so forth. OF course
you cannot anticipate everything
life will throw at you. but you
can try.

Why Grow Old?
Be Honest With Budqet

Another thing which interested
me was the statement that some
times spending q dollar is more
important than saving a penny.
We women battle all OF the small
expenses, household and family
items, so constantly that we are
likely to have blind spots in this
way. Sometimes a dollar spent
will save you wear and tear when
It is important. Sometimes dol
lar sccnt will bring you values in
happiness you cannot afford to
miss. Sometimes a dollar invested
in your career or home atmosphere
will zoom the success of both.
I, myself. think the most i'm
portant things to spend money
on are the Intangible values; the
ping-pong table which kept the
family at home, the new hobby
which intrigued every one in the
house, the trip you will never for
get, that bunch of roses which
made the day seem less dreary
the help you gave some one when
you could not afford it.
Well, I certainly got off the
beam and am not preaching a
very sound financial policy.
To get back to practical help.
Miss Campbell sets up three prin-
ciples to follow if you are to be
financially secure.
l. You should have the equiva-
lent of six months salary in the
bank. (That will surely put the
"bee" on you right after Christ
maS.)
2. Insurance protection - fire
and life or endowment.
3. Savings bonds.
The East River Savings Bank
has a pay yourself" policy for
those who have checking accounts
with the bank. The bank bills
its customers on their individual
pay days for the amount they have
specified; the amount they wish
to save each month. Then the
customer mails off a check for
this just as he does for rent or
anything else. I am assured they
practically never miss.
For your own happiness and
peace of mind, work out some sort
of financial plan.
