Every citizen hould be alert to that danger. Those are the thoughts that come me as I mentally revisit the ities and towns throughout the and where my lecture tour took me ‘rom last October to ‘late March. ousands of Americans—farmers nd city folk, natives of the hills nd the plains, men and women of very age and. occupation from ocean to ocean—questioned me and] talked with me and gave me a- vivid panorarha of the national spirit.

8.2 ” I WAS particuiarly interested in the thoughts and feelings of the average American citizen in the average small city, for they made vivid contrast to the German citizens living under the Nazi regime whom I describe in my latest book, “The Lights Go Dewi.” There is a questioning attitude that you Americans have which makes you different from all Europeans. You are ‘wise” in-a way that the Gers mans never were. You are not easily deceived by political spell-binders who promise Utopia at, the expense of liberty. You weigh each side of a question, and debate it among yourselves. Individually and in groups you ‘want to be shown,” as the saying goes. | This splendid awareness is largely

Americans are by tradition opposed any considerable power. Fascism jn

any form could not jump the hurdle of the American passion for free-

ican press and radio and the American habit of talking things over in Town Hall fashion, Even the tenency to admire a forceful personality cannot resist the sheer power of ruth. . The truth about war apparently has sunk deep into the consciousness of all Americans, because practically none of those I met wanted to take part in the present European war. Help the Allies by all means short of war, they told me, for fascism must be conquered [i* justice is ever to prevail again— land remember that only by helpling the Allies can America insure herself against being’ drawn into the military conflict.

has her dark sheer dresses dry-| cleaned frequently and aired and’

pressed after each wearing. Her wardrobe includes some washable {rocks, too. And these are always as | fresh and crisp as her small daughter’s ginghams and percales. Once a week she uses a depilatory | te remove superfluous hair from legs and under arms.” And she applies a deodorant every day or an antiperspirant twice a week. She knows, of course, the importance of using anti-perspirants exactly according to directions on the label. Her girdles are washed often and given a two or three-day rest between wearings. She puts on a clean pair of stockings each and every ‘morning, remembers to push shoe trees into her shoes as soon as she takes them off. She keeps hard, triangular, specially-designed sachet pillows in the toes of evening slippers and dress shoes. ” ” 8

SHE manages to. take at least two baths a day—a warm, soapy one for cleanliness and a cooler, quicker one for freshening up. She insists that she can take a shower in the same length of time required to wash her neck and arms in a bowl of water. She also insists that it takes no more time to apply a fresh coat of nail polish than it does to try to repair a chipped area or two." She cleans her face thoroughly before putting on new powder and other makeup. As a result, her face always has a shiningly clean look about it. In other words. even on. the, hottest ‘days, she lopks cool. And if a woman looks cool, the chances are ten to one that she is cool—in spite of the heat.

colored from handling - vegetables {and other housekeeping chores. Is there anything I can use to keep them in good condition? :

A—Keep a half of a lemon in a saucer, cut side down, on <$he kitch-

using kitchen soap or cleansing powder, or when you wash them ‘after handling vegetables. When the Inails are grimy, thrust the fingers nd rub well The lemon juice removes stains and {destroys odors of foods. At night, before retiring, soak the hands in warm water for a few minutes and rub toilet lanolin well into the skin. (If the hands are very dry, wear | gloves during the night.

| Q—Please give directions for ' starting a small kitchen herb garden. .

| A—Start with a small garden, about 10 by 12 feet, near the kitchen. The following varieties are easy | to grow: sweet, marjoram, thyme, basil, summer savory, chives, spearmint, sage, and parsley. Success with these may inspire you to try other, such as tarragon, rose geranium, lemon verbena, bee balm, rosemary, or caraway. herbs are annuals and must be sown every year, others are perennials

nials should be at one side of the plot where they will not be disturbed when the ground is replanted with annuals. Even if you cannot make full use of your herbs in cookery, the garden will be a delight because of its fragrance and attractive flowers. The low-grow=-

thyme, may be used as a border along a walk, instead of in the garden plot. Certain herbs make good ground cover where grass does not grow. Some will do well in a rock garden, or between the stones of a flagstone walk or terrace. ‘

Q—Please furnish a recipe for strawberry, chiffon pie.

A—This one will make a pretty table decoration, with the cream and strawberries beaten together in a pink filling: 1 pint strawberries; 3% cup sugar; 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatine; 1% boiling water; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; % teaspoon salt; 2 pint heavy whipping cream; 2 egg whites and 1 pie shell, baked and cooled. Save out % cup of berries for garnish. Combine the remainder of the berries, crushed with the sugar, and allow to stand one hour. Meanwhile, soften the gelatine in the cold water and dissolve in the boiling water, adding the crushed berries and

gins to harden, add the whipped ‘cream and stiffly beaten egg whites.
