But why put up with these barbs

The beauty of your skin can be

.ChiDped Beef Plus

You can make a fine dinner of
half pound of dried or "chipped'
beef, mushrooms, some green olives
and few other items that may be
lurking in your pantry or your ice
box.
Let your dried beef stand in a
little cold water for about 80 min
utes, then squeeze it dry. and pull
it apart in sizeable pieces. Melt a
little butter or margarine in d
frying pan, and put in the beef,
stirring from time to time, until
the beef is cooked. Sprinkle the
meat with some flour, and keep on
stirring-the flour should get alb
sorbed by the fat. Now, pour in
cups of rich milk, and bring the
mixture to a boil, being sure you
stir it all the time Lower the heat
and let it all simmer for 10 min
utes or so.
When the beef is ready. add a
can of mushrooms, 10 or IL green
olives, a cup of cooked or canned
corn and few cooked or canned
peas, if you have them. Last of
all. stir in a wineglass of sherry
nice and dry. Check for salt and
pepper, and serve with spoon
bread, fluffy and puffy from the

Inc OIC-nearQ assertion LnaI
Southern antiques are mostly
importations" and that the few
native pieces are mostly crude
and provincial" is founded in
myth not fact, according to the
news from Colonial WILLIAMSBURG S
1851 Antiques Forum which closes
today.
Charlestonians were coSmopol-
itans during the Colonial period,
E. Milby Burton, director of the
Charleston. S. c.. Museum. told
guests there. They would not
have wanted furniture that was
crude and provincial, he contended.
In his talk, Early Furniture
of the South" he pointed out that
he didn't believe importations
took care of the needs of the
populace
In Charleston alone there were
total of 335 cabinetmakers at
work from 1720 to 1920. he
explained.

Forum, conducted in two consecu-
tive week long sessions, is one OF
two special winter events held each
year in that restored Colonial city.
The other is the Williamsburg
Garden Symposium conducted in
mid-February.
The study of American interiors
and their recreation is relatively
new field in which great strides
have been made in a short span
of time. John M. Graham II,
curator of Colonial Williamsburg,
told the antique enthusiasts.
And when considering restored
rooms, we may we'll wonder how
closely they approximate the
originals, he added.
Were all 18th century interiors
as pleasing as they are presented
today?
In rooms that have been re-
stored. we see soft colorS, neatly
placed furniture, balanced CHM
ney shelf arrangements and pic
lures hung at eye level and fiat
against the wall, he pointed out.
But there are prints of the period
that show cluttered rooms with

they were not wanted. Each OF
them, however, had to fork over

A miner, T. W. Kinney, was
found dead in a bath house at
Alleghaney early Monday morn

en- with blunt instrument. The
Kentucky officers called to the
sheriff here to be on the lookout
