Dried Fruit Is High in Nutrition BY SIBTER MARY *EA Serrlre Wrttn Since we constantly are being urged In these days of interest in nutrition to eat more “protective” foods and since fruits come under this head, the question immediately comes to our minds: “Are the dried fruits as 'protective* as the fresh one? And what about the canned fruits?” Recent investigations have pretty well established the fact that commercially canned fruits and those canned at home by the so-called “cold-pack” method supply the vitamins and other factors of their fresh prototypes. While the “open-kettle” method of canning Is destructive to vitamin C, the same amount of heat applied to foods after sealing in cans has very little effect on this important substance. Vitamin Missing Dried fruits, however, are not to be depended upon for the C vitamin. With this exception they retain all the other essential properties of fresh or canned fruits. Vitamins A and B, mineral content, fuel value, laxative properties, alkaline reaction-all these

qualities are abundantly supplied by the dried fruits. Prunes, dates, figs and raisins are excellent sources of iron. Peaches, apricots and apples, though less rich in iron, contribute other mineral constituents in goodly amounts. The fact that these dried fruits always are available and are inexpensive makes them worthy of the consideration of home-makers. With Cakes and Pudding The uses of the dried fruits are many and of great variety. Plain cakes and simple steamed puddings are made interesting if drier fruits are added to them. Raisins or figs can be stewed in a little water untli tender to r."ke a good sauce' to use over rice or cornstarch pudding. The fuel value of six prunes or six dates equals that of a large potato or three half-inch slices from a pound loaf of bread. Prunes and figs can be steamed and stuffed with cottage cheese to make nourishing winter salads. Steamed figs served in their own juice or with cream make an acceptable dessert for children Cooking Long and Slowly Long, slow cooking is essential for all dried fruits in order to soften the skins. If prunes are soaked over night in water to cover and then simmered always below the boiling point for three or four hours and allowed to stand again over night before serving, they will be deliciously tender, firm and wellflavored. If sugar is added, it should be put in just after removing from the fire. In buying prunes it is well to remember that Oregon prunes are freestone and have a tart flavor. California prunes are clingstone and sweet. This enables one to judge the amount of sugar needed to please the family taste. Dates, figs, raisins, and prunes make delicious sandwich fillings. They can be used alone, with nuts, finely chopped, and combined with cottage cheese or moistened with orange or lemon juice. MRS.

The Paris Is Intricate Step, But Lovely One

Arthur Murray and an assistant, as shown above, are demonstrating the popular modem tango, called “The Paris.” The diagram at the right illustrates the steps.

Wrltlne exclusively for The Times and NEA Service, Arthur Murray, foremost authority on ballroom dancing, describe* anew tango step in this, his seventh of a series of twelvi articles. BY ARTHUR MURRAY Written for NEA Service r T"'HE PARIS is the primary tango -*■ step that everyone who went abroad last year danced in France, on the boat coming back and at parties thus winter. It has tremendous verve, is stimulating as the air of Paris itself. It seems intricate at first, but is simple if you really learn it. Os course you must have perfect control of your feet, and this comes only by practice. The Paris is a dance that women must perfect before trying it with partners. 1. The man begins with his left foot and takes three very slow, walking steps toward the upper left and corner of the room: 1,2, 3. (Look at the diagram before starting.)

2. He then reverses and walks backward three steps, beginning with the right foot: 4,5, 6. 3. Beginning with the left foot, he then walks forward again, two steps toward the starting point: 7, 8. Done with perfect mastery of the feet and lithe swaying of the body, this is a lovely dance. It- can be practiced to “Medias de Seda.” Next: The New Haven for trot.

Books for Children Now Fit Into Life as They Live it

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Books for children have changed. No longer do we get the abhorrent, grotesque, and unreal, but books that fit in with child life and child conception of tike world they live in. I think it is as necessary, more necessary for us to keep in touch with the newest things in children’s literature than for us to look after our own. True, some of the oldest classics are more popular than ever and that Is a comfort always, the great never die, but the contrast of the old with the new is intensely interesting. I make it a point several times a year to go into the book shop and browse around among the children’s books. I not only enjoy it enormously, but it adds to my education. I like to see what new clothes

.Your Child

Buster Bear is wearing: I like to see the “Adventures of Tiny Titmouse” done up in an “accordion” that won’t tear; I adore the illustrations straggling over two pages and sometimes turning a leaf. There is a queer name! “naD!” Oh, I see, it is “Dan” turned backward. Here’s one with the pages turning from right to left with the first page last. But these are merely extraneous items. I take anew book of adventures for the older children, lean up in a corner and am lost. Now I’m no roadside sign for publishers—if I am, more power to them—but I do think that every mother w’hether she buys a book or not owes it to herself to have a good time in the children’s book departments. Moreover, if she plans to pass out a few books at Christmas time among the small fry, she will know names, books, and suitability. I know of no place where one receives more courtesy or less interference than in a book shop of any kind. Remember, children up to 6 like little animal stories, happy fairy tales, very short adventures of toys, or dolls, or children, and simple poetry. Later they like longer adventure stories, the more complicated fairy tale, real stories of real animals, and comedy. Still later come the heroes, the classic adventure, the story of the boy or girl who achieves success, biography, history, travel and informative books about the world, birds, animals and people. • The happy book makes a happy child. To keep the sob book in the background is the only advice I t ve.

Glorifying Yourself BY ALICIA HART

NECKS have a mean way of telling all your age secrets. Nothing gives away the passing nor calls attention to them more readily, than that slight breaking of the chin contour which conics when the face sags, the neck begins to take on a crepy look or grows double in its fat. I am tempted to say, “If you can save that firm chin line you save all your beauty.” It is an exaggeration of course. But you know yourself how important it is to keep the chin up and firm. Perhaps if today’s woman actually used her neck a bit she would not be worried. We never stretch our necks, we never use the muscles to chew hard substances. Totally unused muscles are bound to sag! Therefore, the first prevention of crepy neck and the first step in improvement, once it has sagged, is exercise. The second is nourishment. The third is massage. a a a TENSE the neck muscles and pull the neck back until your head is bent as far back as you can pull it.. Then, continuing to hold the neck muscles tense, force the head forward slowly but firmly until the chin comes as near resting on your chest as you can make it. Repeat, keeping the neck muscles tense, for ten minutes morning and night. ■'Begin a circular motion of the neck by standing erect, bending the head down and rotating it to the right side, as fai down to the shoulder as you can bend it, then

Just Every Sense Day

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A YOUNG housewife with two babies inquires about joining a certain well-known uplift organization. “I find it hard,” she writes, “to refuse the dear friends who are interested. They accuse me of being old-fashioned and insist that one is a better mother when one has outside activities. I wish you would give me some sensible advice.” I wish I could. But even if I were qualified, senible advice is likely to be unpleasant. So let’s just talk things over. There is one very important fact to keep in mind when one is a young mother. It is a vital item. A woman can have her babies near her only one time in their lives. The years fairly snatch them away. They are gone before she realizes how precious they are. The average woman often finds the life of a cook and nursemaid insufferably dull. Why not? She probably has gone to college. She has had the enthralling and diverting activities that new are within the reach of every girl. She is young and full of a zest for living, eager for new interests. n a tt SO, she allows herself to be drawn into too many clubs. And the American home now is suffering as much from too many club-working mothers as it is from mothers who hold down outside jobs.. And, whereas, there often is an excuse for the one, there is very little for the other. Set aside, therefore, a few years to be devoted wholly to your children. You will be repaid a million times for the parties and the good times you pass up for them. Keep your nerves steady and your health good, so that during their important growing years they may remember their mother as the loveliest person in the world. After the home is built, after the babies are older, there will be time for clubs and reforms. There never can be any work for a woman so splendid as that she does at her own fireside, and no reform so great, nor of such a help to civilization, as the rearing cf good children.

on back, on to the left side and back to the front. Rotate ten times, keeping the neck muscles tense. When taking your morning exercises on the floor, lie on your stomach, knees and feet touching the floor, and raise your head as high as you can. stretching it back as far as you can get it. When you start exercising your neck daily, start feeding that under-the-chin portion with rich nourishing creams, too, (unless you are afflicted with a double chin) The third part of the preventive for crepy chins comes in the massage you get rubbing in the nourishing creams. a a a THE chin massage should be upward and out toward the ears. Not just in front, however, is this massage needed. You can do a lot for wour sagging chin line by working on the back of the neck. Take both hands, massage up from the center front, and when reaching the ears, continue back and massage the muscles and nevres at the base of- the head. Also massage the sides of the neck, upward and firmly. All these treatments, taken together. will do much to help your chin line. Moreover, they do much to increase your, high spirits for they encourage circulation and strengthen the muscles at the same time. The effect should be noticeable in a month, if not sooner. But you must persist, day in and day out. There is no known beauty treatment which acts like an Aladdin's lamp to bring instantaneous results.

Debutantes ! Favor White for Evening BY FRANCES PAGET (Coovrleht. 1930. bv Style Sources.) NEW YORK. Dec. 25.—The debutante season is always glamorous and this year proves no exception, as the open season for debs comes upon us. A resume of the fashion picture presented at these events emphasizes the popularity of white, and brings out the point of glittering embellishment, including silver, in the form of spangles, paillettes, brocaded taffeta or satin, lame and metallic lace. Dozens of frocks of white satin were observed, many with cowl decollete, elaborately seamed hip section and rippling hem, touching the ground all around, and many also of white flat crepe, white taffeta, lace or net, with occasional fabric contrasts including taffeta with lace or net. Comparatively few frocks were of tiered or ruffled tulle, the type of costume generally associated with the debutante. Gowns on princess or semi-prin-cess lines, skirts gaining fullness well below the hips, even at a point slightly above the knees, were wornRhinestone shoulder straps were noted many times, also strass or silver bugle beads outlining the decollete, front and back. The draped neckline and off-the-shoul-der effect were equally popular. Black costumes were in a small minority at these debutante festivities, and were confined to the older women. Two-thirds of the debutantes wore shoulder clusters of real flowers, generally orchids, but sometimes gardenias.
