TO PROTECT HANDS | COLORED MIRRORS AVAILABLE NOW

Mirrers, which are being used more and more in modern interiors to give the impression of greater space, are how available in colors. They come in shades of blue, green and peach. Colored mirror glass is also used to make dressing tables, coffee tables and other furniture.

If you find gloves inconvenient when gardening or doing housework, Helen Broderick advises you to rub a heavy cream into the hands before doing such work. The comedienne says this protects the hands from dirt and prevents roughening of the skin.

[IMES"_ Do’s, Dont’s « for Doughnut Makers Given|

Fried Cakes Hold. Place All Their Own; Lard Best for Cooking.

BY RUTH CHAMBERS National Livestock and Meat Board

There just isn’t any substitute for doughnuts! Cookies and cakes and fancy pastries are well enough in their way, but somehow a good doughnut holds a place all its own For breakfast, for lunch, for afternoon coffee, for supper, for an in-

between-meals bite, in fact at any|-

time of the day a doughnut “hits the spot.” Wise is the homemaker who keeps a supply on hand! One of the important “do’s” among the rules for good doughnut-making is to use lard as the frying medium. Lard is high in nutritive value and the amount which is absorbed by the doughnuts is wholesome and

easily digested. It has a good flavor. It 1s economical, for it can be used again and again if given proper care. It should not be overheated, and it should be covered and kept in a cool place between times of use. : An Important “Don’t!”

Another “do” for the doughnut maker is to provide herself with a deep-fat thermometer. Temperature is a prime consideration in all deep-

fat frying. And that brings me to a | Don’t rely|:

very emphatic “don’t!” upon the smoking point of lard to tell you when it' is hot enough. When any fat smokes, it is overheated. The smoke indicates that the fat is decomposing, or breaking down into its chemical constituents. Lard attains the right temperature for frying before it reaches the smoking point. For doughnuts, the lard should be heated to 365 degrees F. by the fat thermometer, or until a bread cube placed in it will brown in 60 seconds. Do not overcrowd your kettle. Usually five or six doughnuts are enough to cook at one time.. They require three to four minutes. If doughnuts are turned frequently during cooking, they are less likely to crack badly. After removing from kettle, drain the doughnuts cn absorbent paper. Here are recipes for a variety of doughnuts—all delicious.

Make Choices, Parents Told

Initiative Is Stifled by Adults Who Insist on Dictating.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“Oh Sally, you mustn't wear that dress to school today. It's too thin —You must have something warmer!” So the blue dress came off and the brown one went on and Sally went to school. The next day she chose the brown dress. Her ‘mother demurred. “It’s warmer today, Sally. Won't you ever learn to suit the dress and the weather? Let's choose the blue one.” : After a while Sally stopped try-

ing to use any independent think-

ing about her clothes. No matter what she selected her mother always changed frocks for her, anyway. It was the same way with books. Twice she had gone to the big library down the street, her heart filled with a happy, glowing feeling as she surveyed the rows and rows of stories that were hers to read. When she reached home her mother examined the books and

shook her head.

More Frustrations

So Sally and her mother exchanged the books. After that, Sally let her mother do the choosing in the first place. Pretty soon she didn’t even bother to go along when her mother went to the library. Sally liked chocolate ice cream, Whenever she had lunch downe town with her aunt or her grandmother she ordered it. When her mother accompanied them, she would take tapioca pudding or a cup custard. One day, dining alone with her grandmother, in a pretty little tearoom, she ordered the ice cream, The grandmother, being a considerably wiser woman than her daughter, spoke suddenly. “Sally, why do you order ice cream when you are with me, and puddings when your mother is along?” Grandma Takes a Hand Sally hesitated. “Mother thought that ice cream isn’t good for me,” Sally answered slowly. “Stuff and nonsense. Do you even have to eat what she selects?” ° “Yes’'m,” Sally answered meekly, but her grandmother caifght the misery back of her. meekness. “Sally, do you like that dress?’ “No, but’ my mother said—" The grandmother suddenly real-. ized that she might be inciting a revolt in the child, which would be unfortunate. Sally’s mother hadn't realized that she was breaking her child's independence hy refusing to let her make her own small choices. Ona year later, when Sally went to the library, she chose her own books, They were wise choices because her mother had learned to direct tactfully—but silently! (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)
