Hot Tips

Corn Tips are delicious with hot salads. . . . Try a broiled grapefruit half with French dressing for a! hot course. . . . Serve hot salad first as an appetizer (not too big! a serving). . . . Grated cheese will melt atop a hot salad and be the better for it. . . . Bran muffins made as big as a minute and tucked right onto the salad plate is a fine idea. . . . Hot potato salad is perfect partner to frankfurters for a cold winter's night,

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—Do you think that a girl of 17 can be sine cere when she declares her love for a man? I feel that I am in love with a married man and I am sure that he loves me. I had kept these facts from my parents for ever so long and have been seeing him for seven months. A few days ago I told my parents and they tried to understand. Their suggestion is that he and IT discontinue our relationship until he is once again free. I can't bring myself to this decision because I have tried it before and found it almost impossible. He tried to co-operate with me at that time. Since I have told my parents I feel that I am more in love than before so this hasn't solved our problem. I would appreciate very much your opinion. CROSSWORD MIND ® 8 8 Answer—I can add nothing to the wise advice of your parents. Instead of berating you they have listened to your problem and will stand by you until the storm passes. For the moment you can't think clearly for yourself and need guidance from mature people. It often happens that a girl's first love is directed toward a man who is attached to another woman, In a roundabout way this repeats her

Christmas Eve,

learned to love was her father and he belonged to another woman. Without knowing it she many times wished to be the only love in his life, but love for her mother made her willing to share her father's affection. When next she finds herself in love with another attached man, she isn't so willing to share, and thus struggles to avenge her infantile disappointment. You won't be able to see this fact, of course, yet you would do well to take my word for it that it has a bearing on your present infatuation. The attempts which you have

half-hearted and not backed up by any real force. Your “I can't” is simply a shield for the underlying “I won't,” for of course you can if you will. It won't be so easy for the man to gain freedom from his present responsibilities. In measure his affair with you is a sort of punishment which he administers to his wife for her failure to measure up to his expectations. When

Your Health

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer IF YOU DRIVE a splinter into your hand or foot and do not have the injury properly cared for, you may be flirting with tetanus, or lockjaw, just as surely as if you had stepped on a rusty nail which you probably learned as a child to avoid because of the danger of lockjaw. Lockjaw can develop from any wound in which the flesh is cut or torn if the tetanus germs get inte the wound. Puncture wounds, such as are made by a bullet or a nail or a splinter, are especially dangerous because the small opening greatly limits the amount of air that can get into the wound and tetanus germs thrive best without air. It is not the rust on the nail which carries the danger of tetanus. It is the dirt on the soles of feet and shoes which is driven into the wound and may carry with it tee tanus germs from soil or street. The splinter, a common cause of tetanus in civil life, acts in the same way.

8 4 8 YOU CAN REMOVE a small splinter with a needle which has been passed through a flame once or twice and cooled. Or you can insert a knife blade, similarly flamed and cooled, under the splinter and pull the splinter out by grasping it between the knife blade and your thumb nail. If the splinter does not come out easily and completely, however, or if the splinter has been driven in so far you cannot see it, you should consult a doctor. He will decide whether or not you need to have tetanus antitoxin to counteract the effect of the powerful and deadly poison that tetanus germs spread in wounds. This is an almost sure preventive of tetanus if given just after the wound or injury. Another kind of tetanus prevention is the protection given by tetanus toxoid which is something like a vaccination that prepares the body to fight off tetanus germs at any time.

Make Bed Jacket Out of Silk Dress

If you're concerned about rising prices and shortages, this is the time to develop a sewing hobby. You can turn remodeling and remaking into an indoor sport and save money and materials, too. For instance, your summer silk dresses in pastel colors, that won't stand a repeat performance next summer, would make wonderful bed jackets, A bit of ribbon, some inexpensive lining, some sheet cotton and the quilter attachment to your sewing machine would turn out one of those soft, puffy, luxurious feeling bed jackets that you've been looking at longingly in the shops, but have felt you couldn't buy. Or, if you prefer one less bulky, you might applique a design in contrasting pastels colors with the zigzagger attachment on a silk jacket

and use inexpensive cotton flannel for a lining. Bind with ribbon,

BEAUTY

YOUR FORTUNE may be in the palm of your hands but your future lies in the care you give them,

Long, born-gracaful hands wave the gracious gestures of a welllaunched social personage. Wellkept, smooth hands grasp every business opportunity given them. An ounce of prevention, and the same quantity of hand lotion, will keep your hands beautiful. A pair of rubber gloves to slip on when you're washing dishes, or fabric gloves for dusting or gardening, will also help keep your hands soft and white. . If you dig each nail into a bar of soap and pack the fingernails with soap before you clean the silver or do any other household task, you will find that dirt cannot work in under them. By rubbing each fingernail and pushing down the cuticle with a towel when you wipe your hands, you can coax the cuticle to grow back from the nail, and the nail will be more shapely. o ” ”

A piece of lemon can be kept handy in the bathroom and in the

kitchen, for use whenever the fingers are stained. It is important to remove the discoloration ime mediately, This daily treatment, snatched a few seconds at a time, is more effective than one weekly professional treatment. The visit to the beauty parlor relaxes and sets you up, but it's the housework that counts. If water, wind and work chap and redden your hands, give them a special massage. Rub in an oily cream, using an upward motion, wear cotton mitts to bed, to protect the linens, and your hands will receive a beneficial extended creaming.
