Youngsters Like Soups After Study

Noontime Meal Also Can Be Improved by These Recipes.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

Youngsters like to dash home from school and fall into the soup. Not éxdctly as bad as it sééms— for thé soup réally falls into them. Rich, thick soups at noontime, plus a salad and a piain dessert, make bright and sturdy youngstéts, and things easier for a busy mother, too. Try some of these thick soups for the noonday meal.

De Luxe Potato Soup

(4 to 6 Servings) Six medium sized potatoes, 2 cups milk, 1 6fion, 2 slices bacon, 2 tablespoons chopped parsely, 1 tablespooh flour, 1 teaspoon salt, > teaspoon paprika, 1 cup grated American ¢héese, 1 teapsoon Worcestershire sauce. Peel and dice potatoes, boil in as little salted water as possible, Heat milk in double boiler. Cut bacon fine and fry. Chop onion and saute onion and parsléy in bacon fat, to this add flour, blend well and add to milk. Add bacon and potatoes to milk and then grated cheese and Worcestershire sauce.

Yellow Split Pea Soup

(4 to 6 servings)

One and one-half cups yellow split peas, 1: onions, 2 stalks of celery, 2 slices of bacon, 2 tablespoons butter, 8 cups water, 1 sweet potato. Soak peas overnight. Chop onion and celery fine and saute in butter. Peel and slice sweet potato, cut bacon fine and fry. Add peas, sauted onion and celery, potato and bacon to water, cook very slowly about 3 hours. Mash through a fine sievé and serve with croutons.

Croutons

Take 3 slices of medium thick bread, remove crusts, cut in cubes | and fry in deep fat. This soup may be varied by adding 1 cup of tomato puree,

Cream of Chestnut Soup (4 to 6 servings)

Two small cans of consomme, 2 cups of chestnuts, ¢ onion, 2 stalks of celery, lz: teaspoon salt, 12 teaspoon pepper, 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tabléspoon flour. Peel chestnuts, boil and mash. Cut onion and celery fine. Cook consomme, chestnuts, onions and celery for about 10 minutes. Melt butter, add flour and cream, cook until thick, add to above mixture, season and strain.

Mat Prevents Falls

Statistics shéw that a large percentage of accidénts occur in the home. To prevent disastrous falls when stepping into or out of the bath, one housefurnishing establishment displays rubber foot mats for the bottom of the tub and rubber grips for the sides which are held firmly in place by suction cups. They may be had in a variety of colors to blend with your individual color scheme.

children’s coming year.

Perhaps last year John was too driven. Thinking it over calmly now, she realizes that she never saw the boy. There was school and home-work, to begin with, and besides John was on the staff of his school paper. He was also drummer in the band, and that Kept him after hours twice a week for practice, as well as taking whole evenings for performances.

Child Can Be Too Busy

Then there were his Scout meetings; and on Sundays, church and church school, and junior young people's society. His hiking club took long walks in the afternoons.

Even Saturday, the vacation so well earned by busy children,

ages on his bike to earn money, usually for a cause, such as new swim trunks for the pool races, or a shack the hiking club hoped to build. If any but John’s mother, by the way, thinks this an impossible program for any boy, I hurry to explain that it is understated, rather than overstated, in thousands of cases. Not that John thought he was burdened—quite the contrary.

Age Held Bar To Women With Jobs

Pensions Create Handicap For Those Past 30, Scribe Asserts.

By HELEN WELSHIMER Times Special Writer Our age of economic independence, which promised financial free dom for the great throng of women who must, or would be, sélf-support-ing, is being defeated by a time limit. Age—not senility, but any count of the years that surpasses 30—has become a barrier in the minds of employers when they hire

women. The development of measures like old-age pensions and ‘social security are becoming factors of unemployment in the lives of those who are out of work. With the realization that an older woman, in spite of her present competency, is nearer the time for the reception of these benefits, employers are prejudiced. Miss Ollie A. Randall, vice chairman of the occupational interests of the Association for Improvement of the Condition of the Poor and who was the recipient of the 1936 Anna W. Porter Memorial award, presented annually to the member of the American Woman's Association of New York City who has rendered the most creative and constructive service to the association, has devoted her life to the study of the unemployment situation. Perhaps no woman in America is better qualified to judge today’s trend.

Even 30 Is “Too Old”

She makes this sad report: “Employers state that if they hire a woman of 40, statistics show that she will be good for only 15 years’ work, and during that period she is likely to become static. It's coldblooded—but it's true. “A woman who already is employed does not need to worry about her age as the organization will retain her; but it is the one on the outside trying to get in who must be concerned. Those who do clerical work, such as typing, have small chance of obtaining office work after 30. Those who perform professional services have little opportunity after 40.” When we consider that one-third of the women who are employed do clerical work, our imaginations conjure up a magnificent procession winding over the hills to the poorhouse. After all, old age pensions do not start until 65 and there is a lot of time to be bridged between say, 35, and the mailman’s first call with a check. More weight is added to the deplorable statement by New York State's recent issuance of a pamphlet entitled “Employer Preferences in the Hiring of Clerical Workers” in which it is suggested that women past 30 should not train for clerical work.

Job Plan Needed

There, then, is the pleasant setup! What, we ask, is going to happen to women who have no husbands or sons to help them—or who must aid those husbands and sons? In the individual case, frequently some plan may be evolved. Those women with expert specialized training or artistic ability need not fear. It is the great hum-

Depending upon the fabrics used, the frock can be worn without jacket for dinner or with the jacket as a less formal costume, Pattern 8021 is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20, 40 and 42.

ber with uniform preparation and ability whq present the problem. We must find some organized public plan for putting women to public usefulness in return for support,” Miss Randall continues wisely. “We need to make an analysis which will solve the problem of supporting them and making them feel useful.” After all, those years which follow 30, are the time when a woman's charm and intelligence reach their maturity. She has a wealth of sympathy and understanding, garnered from earlier experience, to give. Twenty is so unprepared for life. Thirty is so efficiently ready, so eager to give. Thirty and 40 are rich, ripe ages. Most of the actresses of first magnitude on Broadway — Katherine Cornell, Helen Hayes, Judith Anderson—are majoring in their 30s. Some are older. In the field of literature the years count up, for Katherine Mansfield, Zona Gale, Pearl Buck, Edith Wharton are women of poised maturity. It is apparent for depth of creative effort ;here must be years of life and experience, (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

[Look Your Best

For Youngsters,

Mothers Urged

By ALICIA HART

It is sad indeed to see a woman lose pride in her appearance .as her birthdays pile up. Almost any person, man or woman, gets & shock when he sees an unkempt, untidy, carelessly groomed woman who could look 10 years younger and infinitely more interesting if she would only be as meticulous as she

was at 20. “But it’s difficult to pay attention to beauty and grooming routines when one has little money and even less time,” I seem {0 hear many say. Difficult—yes—but SO important. Anyway, soap and water are among nur very ¢heapest commodities. And it really takes no more time to arrange & neat, flawless coiffure than a haphazard one. Or to get powder and rouge on smoothly and correctly than to slap them on any old way. The greatest sin of all against beauty, it seems to me, often is apparent among mothers — especially young mothers. So harassed are they by crying babies, the daily household routine, the constant demand of domestic duties on their time and nerves, that they are likely to neglect to try to kéep néat and tidy. I may be wrong, but I often think that perhaps a scrupulously clean, delightfully fragrant mother with her hair in place and her apron spic and span should be able to get Johnnie to do his lessons with less nagging than she would if she stood over him with beads of perspiration on her brow, face flushed, clothes soiled and wrinkled. Or to get small Mary to put her toys away properly. Don't think for a moment that children do not notice. Haven't you sometimes heard a little tot brag about how pretty his mother is? Or tell his playmates about the “wonderful dress mother wore to Mrs. Jones’ party?”

Yes, the impressions you make on |

your young offspring while they are very little will linger with them the rest of their lives. What woman

can afford to have her children’s | recollections of her anything but |

lovely?

and simple, but extreme in their smartness. The long tablé has two circular vases of clear glass, one on either end. The white flowers stand in just two or three inches of water, and rise only to the rim of the vases. A small replica of a zebra’s head in talcum powder white plaster, is posed on the low, modernistic buffet. Incidentally, if you're looking for something original in the way of floral decoration for your table, how about one tiny glass bowl with a single white flower in it at each place? Or, for a centerpiece, one of those very large bowls, full of water with the flowers entirely submerged? A round or rectangular mirror in the center of the table, with a few waxy-looking flowers placed here and there on it is effective. Around holiday time, a border of tiny branches from a fir tree and a sprig or two of holly in the center is a nice idea. If you want your guests to be amused, put a diminutive cluster of mistletoe beside each plate. To get back to the “Beauty preparation” theme in walls, rugs and furnishings—don’t let the males in your family dampen your ardor a bit. Describe to them a living room, done entirely in face powder colors, ranging from light to dark. The ‘nucleus of the walls is a warm “masque” which creates a dramatic pallor. Wide bands around the walls are ‘“Orientale,” a new brunette tone. The rug is butternut brown, and the curtains eggshell ninon. Blondgray is the color of the furniture which is upholstered in silk serge and gray leather. Interesting features in the room are the combination mirror and book shelf over the mantel, and the square brass andirons with square crystal knobs. Decorators call the sky the limit when it comes to the color scheme in bedroom. The result is a panorama of vivid reds, blues and greens. One bedroom has walls of hammered gold and silver, a cézanne gray rug, white brocade draperies and chair and bedspreads of lipstick red satin. The walls of a charming guest room are done in powder colors of rachel and white in a modern treatment of applied leather paper. The rug is Chinese jade, and the draperies striped whipcord in rachel ombre, Lamp bases are of gold luster pottery.
