The southern ham recipe is a nice example of this. Southern Ham One center slice of ham cut 1 inch thick, 1 tablespoon lemon Juice, 2 tablespoons boiling water, 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 oranges, 2 lumps sugar, 1 lemon, Vi teaspoon salt, M teaspoon pepper. Use seedless oranges If possible. Peel oranges, cut in very thing slices crosswise and divide each slice in quarters. Wash lemon and rub lumps of sugar over rind. Squeeze juice from lemon and dissolve sugar in Juice. Add salt and pepper and pour over prepared oranges. Let stand while preparing ham. Parboil ham for fifteen minutes. Drain and wipe dry. Trim to one inch border of fat and broil to a delicate brown. Cook first one side and then the other. Remove from broiler to hot platter and pour over lemon Juice mixed with hot water and sugar. Let stahd in a warm oven for five minutes and turn ham in sauce. Surround with prepared oranges and serve.

by Lois Eleanor Delander, Joliet, Miss Illinois, and third by Anne Howe, Hammond. Ind. Light Hues Prevail The predominating costume in the evening dress function was toward light shades with tulle and beaded effects. “Miss Tulsa” wore a long shell pink chiffon gown, studded with rhinestones and trimmed with clusters of hand-made roses and iridescent beads.

Her slippers and stockings were of silver and she carried a flashing, rhinestone bag. Wears Simple Gown Miss Hammond, her long curls clasped at the neck, had perhaps the simplest dress of them all. It was a youthful gown of white georgette, the short scalloped skirt trimmed in clysters of white ribbon roses and rhinestones. She also wore silver slippers and stockings.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Unmarried Women and Home Right BY ALLENE SUMNER We moderns, even the oldest of us, pride ourselves on our “modern viewpoint.” We “think things through,” we say; we are not inhabited by prejudices and traditions and taboos of one sort or another. We reason things out and decide cases individually rather than generally, applying common sense rather than demanding the conventional act from every human being. Maybe so, and yet in some respects we are such old fogies! The prejudice which peeves me most and which I see exhibited most frequently is the prejudice against mimarried young women, who have parents, setting up establishments of their own. Oh, we make exceptions; we admit tnat if Mary’s job is away from home, it’s all right for Mary to live away from home. But even so, wc f a el much less outraged if Mary rooms or boards than if she “keeps an apartment.” Right now I insist on dropping that “we” business, for I refuse to affiliate myself with the gang who think a girl must and should and shall live “at home” unless and until she is married. And that “at home” means in mama’s and papa’s home and not in one of her own choosing and maknig. It’s easy as pie to understand this ultimatum. Parents of today’s grown daughters belong to a generation when unmarried daughters stayed home till we i because there was nothing else for them to do, unless they were sufficiently advanced to earn their living in the great world by being a milliner or dressmaker or hired girl, and even then, they generally lived at home or with a married brother or sister. And the very very i rare girl who went forth to earn her living in ways other than millinering or dressmaking or hired-girling or working in a creamery, and who didn’t liVe at home, was generally not sans peur et sans reproche, which explains how the idea started. But today—well, the very contemplation of the many many reasons why the utterly different life of today’s young woman makes it very often proper and necessary and altogether sensible and desirable for her to have her own home, whether she is married or single, is so overwhelming that any furore at her doing it seems merely funny! If mothers feel it abnormal for unmarried daughters to leave their own homes and have their own little homes, I feel it equally abnormal and selfish and foolish and unwise for a single woman to be kept in her parents’ home against her own wishes, if conditions permit her to go. The home instinct is a basic one. It is so basic that it would take much more than the lack of marriage to stifle it. It is just exactly as natural for an unmarried woman to want her own home, a place expressive of her own self, a place of privacy, when that is what she wants, as it is for a married one. I am convinced that the traditional bitterness and sharpness of the old-fashioned “old maid” of a generation ago was not because she was unmarried so much as because she lived in an unnatural situation —she, an adult human being, living in other adult beings’ homes—living their own lives and not her own life; enduring the social life of the family and not having any chance to develop a social life of her own; living a standard of living set by people a generation her elders rather than living the standard of her own times.

Women Advised by Expert on Club Publicity If club women want publicity in newspapers, it is up to them to dig up real news and not hand out mere propaganda, explained Mrs. Elizabeth Sears of New York, editor of the official organ of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs and publicity chairman of the organization, in an address at the annual convention in Portland, Ore. Mrs. Sears, an experienced newspaper woman said; “If you women want publicity, go to the editor of your paper, tell him what your plan is; give him live stories, because there is nothing more discouraging to a newspaper man than dead news; give him pictures to carry stories that sometimes have to be carried by pictures; and you’ll get all the publicity you want. And remember there is a time limit on stories and no printer in the world can unprint a paper and insert your story after the paper has ‘gone to bed.’ “I would suggest that you women, after you get home, blow yourselves to a marcel, have your face scraped if necessary, put on your best clothes and go to a good photographer and have your best features photographed. Then if you need a picture for the newspapers you have at least the best you can get, and if It isn’t good then it’s your fault. But if you have an opportunity to get your picture in the paper don’t miss it. Why, I have got to the point, due to my newspaper experience with women, that I’ll stand up anywhere, any time, if any one wants a photograph of me and have it taken, no matter how awful I look in the paper.” VOTERS’ LEAGUE URGES TWO LINES OF STUDY Recommendation that organizations of the Indiana League of Women Voters over the State study the methods by which poll lists are made and study election laws, was made in a resolution passed by the efficiency in government chairmen of local leagues in Indiana at a meeting Thursday at State league headquarters, Illinois Bldg.

WOMEN’S RAINCOATS OF ELEPHANT HIDE By United Pros PARIS, Sept. 9—Milady now uses elephant hide for raincoats, shoes, bags and grips. A method has been found to make the rough hide supple. Various hues are employed, tans and greys predominating. One raincoat of elephant hide with buttons of ivory from the tusks of the animal is selling fast. But Milady’s husband has to be content with skins of frogs as' a novelty. This material is light and waterproof. The husband can carry a wallet or a cigaret case made from frog skin or he can swing a cane covered with the same fabric. Silk butterflies are another fad which promises to be popular with American visitors. They are of sheer silk with the wings painted on. They can be fastened with a pin to a frock giving the impression of real butterflies which have just alighted. Thff wearing of a coat over the frock does not injure them. Several women have realized that the butterflies can be used on their shoes as buckles or as hat trimmings Engagement Announced When Mrs. H. R. Cooper entertained at dinner Wednesday evening she announced the engagement of Miss Lucille Raschka to Dwight Bender. The announcement was made on tiny scrolls tied with rose ribbons.

Feit Miserable A BOVE is a picture of Mrs. Alfred Kingston who lives at 910 Nineteenth Street in Port Arthur, Texas. Mrs. Kingston says: "Several years ago, I was all run-down. My general health was bad and I got so weak I could not keep up. My joints ached and I was so miserable I could hardly do my housework. "iread about Cardui and how it had helped women suffering in much the same way I was. I got a bottle of Cardui and took it, and I then felt so much better that I continued the medicine for some time until [I was really feeling strong and well. "The aching in my joints left me entirely, and I was no longer troubled with bad headaches as formerly. My strength returned and I was able to do more than I had in months. "Since then I have taken Cardui several times, and have always improved after I have taken a course of this fine medicine.” Cardui is purely vegetable, mild, harmless.
