DEC. 2. 1935

(j}Uh Ofll by Mary Raymond (Continued From Face Ihreo) was going t.o be quite satisfactory to see Susan Weatherford's face when Dana was introduced to her and her two ugly daughters. Old Mrs. Cameron almost chuckled. She must have a talk with Ellen. Somehow, some way. they might he able to manage a party to properly introduce Dana to society. The child mu-t not b" allowed to tart off wrong. In such hectic times, with so many queer ideas taking possession of young people's minds, it was easy to lose place, and fall in with the wrong crowd. a 9 a I7*ROM her own room on the south ide of the house. Nancy had a different view of the garden. Its unkemptness had never troubled her, for it had been like that so long that, she had almost forgotten It had ever been trimly landscaped, with decorous flower beds breaking the velvet stretches, a fountain tinkling musically in the center and great trees arching overhead. I' was this picture that had been painted by Dana's mother, and it had remained with the younger girl until the day she had arrived at her grandmother's home But for 1.) '.ears, Nancv had watched the gradual deterioration of the once beautiful grounds. There were iwo reasons, she knew. One was lark of funds. The other was indifference. Sorrow had changed Mrs. Cameron into a bitter, dispirited woman, little concerned over externals. There were voices under Nancy’s window. Her grandmother's voice and that of young Jake, Sarah's grandson, who did odd jobs about the place and built the fires in winter lor his ' board and keep.” "Clear the weeds first, and then cut the grass,” Mrs. Cameron was directing. "And then I'll show you about pruning the shrubbery. If you need any help, you might get Alex to come in for two days. He's doing some work outside now, since the Merrins are away for the summer.” Don' need no hep, Mis’ Cameron 1 Jake objected. "Clean up this air garden all by myself. And mek that $2 clear. Can do it easy all by myself,’ Mis.’ ” Grandmother spending $2 to have the garden cleaned up! Nancy stepped to the window and stared down in amazement. There was the gaunt old figure in rusty black, a huge sun hat of a vintage of years before, on her head. Now and then she lifted one hand and pointed with i. iong finger at some shrub or plant "Cut out that moss rosebush, Jake. It's dead as Hector. That Maroohal Neil must be tied up on a new frame. I can remember when it was one of my best bloomers. And that verbena bed must be brought back in bounds. It's spreading all over the place.” Nancy's black eyes spaikled, and she smiled. At, the moment, she looked almost, pretty. And then the old. contemptuous curve pulled her mouth down at the corners. <)i course, Dana was behind all this. The garden had been good enough for her all these years. Grandmother had never sent Jake into it with pruning shears before, it was Dana, who had always had everything. And now she had come here, and grandmother and silly Aunt Ellen probably would turn the place upside down for her! Nancy had suspected something was brewing last night at tlinn n r. Grandmother had really talked, Instead of answering in curt monosyllables as she generally did. And when she was not, talking, she had stared at Dana, oblivious of every one else. Aunt Ellen, too, had been positively sappy. "My dear this, and my dear that." It. had been sickening. Os course when you were pretty, everything was handed to you on silver platters. If you were ugly, all you could do was grin and bear it. Aunt Ellen had come out now and was giving little nervous suggestions, using her fluttery hands all the time. And all of her ideas were being promptly vetoed by grandmother. who kept shaking her head. At the moment. Sarah's voice rang out loudly: "Mis’, you’re gvvine tek yore death on that damp ground. 'Taint no time to bo trompin’ ’round 'mong them weeds. You'll be down in bed tomorrow.” "And serve her right for being such a fool." Nancy thought grimly. Even Sarah's voice, she decided, had a different, quality. As thought she were excited about something. /here was a current stirring that threatened to upset the established ;alm of the place. ana NANCY picked up her book and tried to concentrate, but it was impossible with the mysterious activity directly beneath her window. After a while she gave up trying to read and went downstairs. Her grandmother and aunt had come in and were sitting in the small, book-lined room where they gathered sometimes to sew or mend. They were sitting close together. in a pose that suggested conspiracy. "There's Nancy." said her grandmother, as Nancy approached. "Come in. We were just planning to send for you.”

Daily Recipe STEAK WITH BANANAS One sirloin steak Four bananas Butter Pa prika Salt Pepper Have the steak cut from one to two inches thick. Preheat the broiler to 350 degrees. Have the regulator set at 350 degrees. Place the steak on the center of the broiler rack so that there is a distance of about three inches between the flame and the top of the steak. When the steak is nicely browned on one side, turn and brown on the other. The steak will be done when the second side is browned. Only one turning is necessary. For a two-inch steak, allow 35 to 40 minutes to be medium done. Cut bananas into slices ar.d brown in butter until a golden brown. Serve around the steak.

jYIIJ 1~0 VC CopyrgK* NEA 1931 Nancy thought her grandmother looked queer. Guilty. "Why did you want me?" she queried, taking her seat on a low ottoman "It.'s about Dana,” began Aunt Ellen. Your grandmother has decided it is important for Dana to meet the right people." ' And you want me to steer her away from the had wolves to the i nice rich lambs,” Nancy said shrewdly. Naturally, Nancy, we expect j ou to see that Dana doesn't meet any undesirables," Mrs. Cameron's voice ; was all iron again. "We thought! if would be nice for both you girls , if we gave a party." ‘Ye gods! A party in this house!” Nancy breathed. 'There have been some very wonderful affairs in this house, Nancy,” chided Aunt Eilen gently. "Not in my time.” There was an inflection in Nancy's voice that caused Mrs. Cameron to bend a suspicious gaze upon her. Aunt Eilen said, her voice shaking as it always did when the usual calm atmosphere was ruffled, “I’m ure it hasn't been your grandmothers fault. Times have changed o much, Nancy. I'm sure it hasn't been anybody's fault that our mode of living has changed—just circumstances." "Where’s the gold mine now?" Nancy asked pointedly. Her thin tace was cupped m one hand. Her dark eyes raised fearlessly to her grandmother. "Stuff and nonsense,” said Mrs. | Cameron. "Nancy knows she could have had parties. Nancy's been j party-shy. In my day, a girl liked; nothing so well as going to parties, but Nancy would rather play I tennis and golf and read and walk, j It's all of her own choosing.” ts a a XJANCY got to her feet, her face ' cold and Impassive. "Well, when do we present the lovely Miss Westbrook to our friends? Count on me, 'Gran.’ I’ll spread the glad tidings by telephone. Or will we follow through handsomely with engraved invitations?" "I think it will be just an informal affair," Mrs. Cameron answered slowly. "Punch and sandwiches. Maybe we'll have some ice cream and cake. We ll see." "And by the way, I suppose we’re inviting Ronnie Moore. Didn't I hear during my infancy that his great-grandmother once did fine laundering for some of my ancestors?" "Shame on you, Nancy.” "We’re inviting Ronnie, of course.” "Ronnie is a very fine ana cultured young man.” There was fire in Mrs. Cameron's eyes. "And eligible," mocked Nancy, softly. "Oh, so very eligible!” She made straight for the ojaen. Generally a long, swift walk helped lo quiet the turbulent moods she was plunged into whenever she suspected she was being pitied. Better far to have them believe she was party-shy and had a superiority complex than know the truth. She wondered now, unhappily, why she had taken that, ugly crack at Ronnie. He had always been very nice to her. In spite of being the richest and best-looking boy in town, Ronnie was really not a bad ; sort. There was the time when he j iiad sauntered over to her after the j tennis tournament last summer, saying. "Keen playing, Nan.” He | had smiled down at her, and she j had come almost near to liking him j for a moment. Almost. Deep in her thoughts. Nancy al- j most bumped into her half-sister. ; "Oh, hello," she said, pausing a moment in her confusion. And then walked cn. As she reached the bottom step, Dana called: "Are you going out, Nancy? Couldn’t I go with you?” Nancy surveyed Dana, who was I locking slim and lovely in a simple, | white frock and brown and white i sports shoes. Her glance took in all the oil arm that was Dana’s. The ■ lovely eyes that looked deep green j and vet blue in the light. The long | lashes that brushed Dana's cheeks j when she looked down. The soft burnished sheen of her hair. "Not today,” Nancy said rudely. “I'm afraid you aren’t dressed for tramping. Tomorow,” she added maliciously, "111 take you for a drive in the family chariot. And perhaps i'll show you the palace where the fairy prince lives.” She swung on down the old brick walk, putting her feet, in the plain, flit-heeled shoes. down firmly. Walking with easy, panther-like grace. Dana's face was red. "What does she think I am? A 12-year-cld? Talking about a fairy prince!” Well, her first overture toward friendship had received a distinct rpbttff. The gate clanged viciously behind Nancy, who was thinking, “Why did I do that?” But she knew the answer. She had wanted to hurt Dana for no other reason than that her half-sis-ter was soon to meet Ronald Moore. (To Be Continuedi GOOD ASH-PIT AIDS FURNACE TENDER What every home needs is a good method of keeping ashes in their place. That place is not all over the basement floor or sifting out of a rusty can where they can be tracked all over the house. A concrete ashpit is the lifelong friend of the weary furnace-tender. You can throw hot clickers and ordinary run-of-ihe-grate ashes into 1 a fireproof ashpit. It wont burn, rust or turn over. It will take plentv of rough treatment. Any one can build it.

Plant Growth Helped by Use of Peat Moss The indoor gardener can have a greater variety of house plants, by growing them in fiber or peat moss. This moisture absorbent material, which contains much commercial plant food, produces blooms faster, and because it provides nourishment, of better quality. Not only the paper white narcissus (and its yellow cousin, soliel d'or>, lilies of the valley, Chinese saered lilies and hyacinths, which can be forced in water, but early tulips, large trumpet daffodils, French-Roman hyacinths, snowdrops. scillas and crocuses may be had this winter if you use the bulb fiber method Break up the lumps in the fiber before setting bulbs, and add a few pieces of charcoal to keep it sweet. The best method of setting the bulb is to fill the bowl half full of moistened fiber, then place your subject in position, filling the rest of the bowl around the bulb and pressing it down carefully so as not, to make the fiber too compact. Your bowl should be large enough so that the

A dark cellar when sprouting, half light to acclimate the green shoots, and finally full light in a room where the temperature does not get too high.

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY THE weather man can t please everybody. Only yesterday a man complained to us. "Do you realize that it has rained only twice in seven weeks?" He makes raincoats, gay-as-confetti. raincoats with berets and umbrellas to match, and naturally he is impatient to see how ay

they are going to look against wet pavements. We hadn't thought much about It, but it appears that winter sunshine is another man's bad business, so we promised to put his raincoats in the paper and pray for rain. a a a IF you want to shoot the works and have a costume instead of a badly assorted protection, you can buy the coat, umbrella and beret set similar to the one sketched on this page. It is made of waterproofed cotton, very lightweight, and is printed in a double dot de. tgn. We liked it best in navy blue with dancing red and white dots, but J 7 ou can find it in white or brown. At this price the set is the best encouragement rainy day ensembling has had since before the flood. a a a THE hooded coats and capes that started out in formal clothes then took to tweeds for rumble seats are now getting into waterproofed silks and broadcloths for rainy day apparel. They make grand overalls for those who refuse to jostle an umbrella. One style has a hood that buttons on or off, depending on the rainfall. In real cold weather, you can slip the raincape over your tweeds for double protection. Then there are new versions of the sleight-of-hand rain bags that contain neatly folded rain capes. You carry it under your arm on a cloudy day, then at the first sprinkle you whip the cape out and over your shoulders, slip your suede purse inside the rain bag and go on singing in the rain.

Finger, Toenail Polish, Lipstick Should Match BY ALICIA HART According to advance news, the smartest women at fashionable Southern resorts this winter will wear finger and toenail polish which matches their lipstick. When a girl starts out to spend a day on the oeach, she'll cover her throat and face with greaseless suntan lotion, omit rouge and. powder and depend on lipstick and nail polish to maka iier look interesting. One lucky woman who expects to go to Florida for January and February is laying in a supply of pol - ishes and lipsticks in all sorts of exotic shades. "I'll have plenty of time to beautify myself, so I'm planning to use a different shade of polish and lipstick every day,” she says. “I’m taking rosy reddish tones to use for the first few weeks, and East Indian, orange shades to wear later on when my skin has become brown.” Remember, of course, that suntan oil or lotion should head the list of beauty preparations you’ll need for the South. A rich tissue cream, a good hand lotion and something to use on your hair several times a week must be next. Then use your imagination to pick cosmetics that will help you to dramatize your best features. If you are overweight, begin right now to lose a few pounds, so you’ll look slim and attractive in your new bathing suits. If j-ou are going to get a permanent wave, plan reconditioning treatments and increase the amount of time you spend brushing your hair each day. Aid for Leather You can add years to the life of a traveling bag by treating it with neat's-foot oil, and saddle soap will keep the bag clean and the leather soft.

Demand That Girl Decide Which Man She Prefers, Jane Jordan Tells Suitor Unless She Breaks Away From First Love Willingly It Is Safer for Second to End Affair, Questioner Advised in Column. Put vour problems before Jane Jordan who will study them for you ind answer your questions in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l have been going with a lady for about two years and we have become good friends. Each of us has been married before. She has another sweetheart and aid have before we met. At limes she makes me feel that she cares as much for me as she does for him. but there are other conditions which prevent her from making a decision. I have told her that I did not want to stand in the way of hpr ha PP lne&s and that R nught be best for us to quit. * 3Ut s^e sa y ? no This sweetheart has boasted of what he will do if she continues to see me. but we see each ether anyway, though not as often as we did. Oh" lolls me that she loves me, and when I speak of quitjfiy *"*' H ting she says, "Wait a while.' I have thought, it over Jw Rom every angle and can't make up my mind what is f -ns*jsß| best to do. so kindly give me some pointers, as I want to do what is right. ANXIOUS. Hf* ; fUjl Answer—l know what the conditions are that keep her from making a decision I could answer you more intelligently. As it is, you picture her as a young : | lady vacillating between two suitors, unable to make up her mind which one she wants to keep. You have Jane Jordan not said whether or not either you or her other suitor has proposed to her. If you haven’t, it is quite possible that she will hang on to you both until one or the other proposes. Os course I do not know whether this is true or not. I only refer to it as the most obvious reason why a girl keeps two suitors dangling as long as possible, and why she plays one against the other. If you want to marry the girl you have every reason to demand that she make a choice and stick to it. If you do not want to marry her. it is none of your business how many men she sees and you have no right to object to the way she spends her time. But if you are serious you would do well to ask her to say “Yes” or "No" and stick to her decision. It is a rule of love that one should get over one affair before starting another. Otherwise one continuously drags the past behind and the ghost of the first lover stands before the image of the second. Unless the young lady breaks away from her first love willingly, it is safer for you to give up your suit. a a a a a a Dear Jane Jordan—We are two boys 17 years old. We like two girls very much but we are afraid to ask them for dates. We like them so well that we are afraid we would not. be able to show them a good time, our weekly income is very small, which, adds to our worry. Would taking a girl to a downtown show be sufficient for the first date? Would you take them directly home after the show or stop some place for a lunch? Would a White Castle hamburger lunch room be the proper place? WORRIED SEVENTEEN. Answer—to be afraid of something is not unusual, but if you are afraid to do what you are afraid to do you are lost! No matter how timid you feel, jump right in and ask the girls to go to a movie with you. Nobody expects a 17-year-old boy to have unlimited cash. Find out where other boys jour age take their girls to lunch. If it is to a White Castle for a hamburger, then you may be reasonably sure that the same place will be acceptable to your girls, too. No doubt they are just as afraid of you as you are of them. The trick is to get acquainted. After that you will feel more comfortable.

Eyes Play Big Part in Eating, So Be Sure Food Eooks Attractive

BY MARY E. DAGUE The other day I saw split peas in my grocer's window, done up in cellophane and green as June. When I gave my order, the grocer told me that he had sold more split peas during the few days he had had his display in the window than ever before. Men, he said, would go past and see the split peas and come back and buy some. All of which is merely to prove my point that the eye does more than half the "eating” and that we all are food-minded and everlastingly interested in things to eat. A split pea and ham loaf looks festive and will use up the last crumbs of a baked ham. Serve the loaf with creamed celery or other creamed vegetables and a salad made of apples, raisins and cream cheese balls or a jellied fruit salad with cheese cups. Split Pea and Ham Loaf One cup split peas, 2 cups water, 1 small onion. 2 cups chopped cooked ham, 1 egg, 1 2 teaspoon pepper, 2 tablespoons minced parsley, cracker crumbs. Wash and pick over peas. Put in sauce pan with cold water and let stand over night. Cook until very tender in water in which they were soaked, adding onion peeled but not sliced. It will take about an hour. Rub through a sieve. The puree should be quite dry and thick, about like mashed potato. Add ham, pepper, parsley and egg. Beat well and shape in a loaf and roll in crumbs. Bake 30 minutes in a moderately hot oven (375 degrees F.). Split Pea Soup If you have tried split pea soup and didn't like it you undoubtedly didn’t have it seasoned right. This Scandinavian recipe makes a truly delicious soup that is hearty enough for zero weather. Two cups split peas, 1 good sized pork chop, 1 onion, 4 cloves, 1 sweet red pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon flour. 1 tablespoon butter. Pick over and wash peas. Soak over night in plenty of cold water. Add onion, cloves, pepper, pork chop and salt and simmer until tender. Keep plenty of water over peas while cooking. Add sugar when nearly tender. Rub through a coarse sieve and return to sauce pan. Rub butter and flour together and stir into soup. Bring to the boiling point and sene with toast sticks. One of our favorite desserts with a hearty soup is jellied plum pudding. You may prefer it for your Christmas dinner if there are small children at the table. JelTed Plum Pudding One package orange flavored gelatin. X cup sugar. 2 cups boiling water, 1 cup seeded raisins, 1 cup stoned dates, ] 2 cup candied cherries, 3 t cup candied pineapple, H cup shredded citron, 1 cup nut

meats, few grams salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add sugar to gelatin and pour over boiling water, stir until dissolved and set aside to cool. Pour boiling water over raisins to plump them. Drain and add with chopped dates, cherries cut in quarters and pineaple cut in thin slices, citron, nuts and salt and cinnamon to gelatin. Pour the mixture into a mold and put in the refrigerator until firm and chilled. Serve with whipped cream. A good and less expensive pudding is made by substituting ?- 4 cup currants for the candied cherries and pineapple. SNOWBALLS GOOD .45 SOUP GARNISH Snowballs make an excellent garnish for some clear soups and cream soups. To prepare, beat one egg white until stiff, add one-fourth teaspoon salt while beating. Then fold the beaten egg into one cup whipped cream and blend into this mixture two tablespoons of sherry. Have the soup piping hot. Then pour into serving plates. Form above mixture into balls with two spoons and drop one ball into each serving of soup immediately before serving.

Inflection in Voice Gives Impressions Shown Best in Example of Saleswoman and Her Customer. B\ JANE MANNER How many times have you heard the expression, ft born salesman"? There really is nothing mysterious about the talent of salesmanship. It is a combination of psychology and personality and its most important instrument is the voice. We are all. as women, more or less interested in clothes, so let us use as an illustration the saleswoman showing a line of dresses to a customer who is difficult to please. Suppose the saleswoman finally says, “I'm sorry, Mrs. Jones, that, you don't like any of these models. Possibly, I have something eDe. Yes . . . there’s a gown that just, came in . . . and it's your size. Will you wait a moment?” Interpreting Words There are several impressions that; can be conveyed by these phrases depending upon the inflection of the voice. If the saleswoman says the words in a tone of weary indifference, Mrs. Jones thinks. “Oh. she isn't interested ... it isn't worth while to wait.’’ Or the inflection may be sarcastic if the saleswoman has been sorely tried. But Mrs. Jones frrgets her own shortcomings and feels that the salesperson believes her to be a fool who ought to have !ik r and the models, and shows bad taste by not doing so. Not only does the customer not wait, but she probably never will come in the store again. Voire Can Work Miracles But suppose, in spite of weariness, Hie words are spoken with genuine personal concern, they immediately convey to Mrs. Jones that the speaker is flatteringly anxious to >ee her in the new model, that she feels sure it will look well. Mrs. Jones is warmed, soothed, put in a buying mood. And the miracle is worked entirely by the tone. A voice which can do this for you. in selling a dress, a life insurance policy, or whatever, is well worth careful cultivation. Here is the great secret: emotion can make sales; it is one of the readiest aids in clinching a deal. The ear of the listener is in direct communication with your emotions. The most common stimulus for the ‘•pocket-book-opening reaction” of humanity is emotional, not intellectual. That is why your voice must be trained to run the subtle scales of emotion with artistic ease.
