"And the beet quality except not more than a dollar and a. half." The salesman scurried off, as Andy drew a deep breath of relief. His salvation was short-lived. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he gasped as he saw a very familiar figure across the aisle. He .crouched forward trying to hide his head in his coat collar; but Polly, with a little cry, was already hurrying over, "Andrew Hardy!" she exclaimed, "What are you trying to do?" "I was looking at the tennis rackets," said Andy. "But I've got to get along." He seized her arm vigorously, "Come on, Polly," "I've got to buy some things for mother," protested Polly. "Some other time," insisted An- dy, "It's too nice a night to waste indoors. There's a beautiful "loon. But we gotta hurry!" "Can't I just take five minutes?" begged Polly. "Let's not wait!" Andy flung heels, "I haven't seen you much lately, and I'm just dying for a good old walk in the woods."

"Yeah," admitted Andy. "But shouldn't Kathryn have some silk stockings on hand anyway—in ease of any emergency?" Mrs. Hardy nodded warmly. "No- thing would make her happier'," she agreed. .She reached for her purse. "But you're a little short of money?" Andy startled her with a sharp negation. "No, I got the cash," he said quickly. "But, gosh, Mom, I couldn't go in a store and buy girls' stockings!" "Why, Andrew Hardy, you're blushing!" exclaimed his mother. "This is 1341—with short skirts and everything. You're just a little old- fashioned boy after all!" Andy drew himself to reclaim his lost .dignity. "Me?" he responded. "1'm the most progressiveeninded. individual you ever saw! I don't even live in the present—I belong to the feature!" Mrs. Hardy tapped hint on the shoulder in amusement. "Then you just walk in the store and tell them what you want without any self- consciousness," she said. Turning away, she paused and bent to give him a kiss. Andy sidled into the collegiate haberdashery and ladies' apparel store, looking as if he were an es- caped convict. "Something in ladies' lingerie?" asked a pert, red-headed salesgirl. Andy tried to collect himself. He attempted speech, but it failed to coque. "Haven't you got a man sales- girl?" he finally said iu a hoarse whisper. "I'm afraid not at this counter," answered the girl. "What can I show you?" Andy gulped. "A pair of,suapend- ers!" he blurted out. • "Right over there," said the girl, p oiuting. In the men's department. Andy decided a heart-to-heart approach was the only answer to his dil- emma.

Or You'll End Up With Just Plain Sunburn, And A Pain- ful One At That The demon vacationist tries to°,; get a sun tan within the first few days of starting on his vacation, ' writes Dr. Logan Clendening. In most cases, unless he is of 'a very swarthy complexion, he ends up with a sunburn instead of a tan, and probably spoils a good part of the rest of his vacation. In other words, take your sun tanning eas- ily. For treatment if you do get sun- burned try vinegar, or a paste made of baking soda and water, or Car- ron oil (equal parts of linseed oil and lime water) . If you have noth- ing else, apply cold tea. The Chin- ese have been using this method for centuries. A good, reliable form- ula for sunburn: Oil of eucalyptus —25 parts, Olive oil -225 parte, and Lime water -250 parts. TAKE SUN SPARINGLY -Sun bathing is good healthy treatinent. Part of its value is that it is taken in the open air but it should be done carefully and slow- ly. The famous Swiss physician, Dr. Ropier, who treated many pa- tients by sunlight alone, ordered them to expose the feet only for about five minutes, two or three times the first day. Only after two weeks of gradual exposure would he allow any of his patients to ex- pose the whole bbdy. Blondes and red hearts should be especially careful, Knows the Proper Answers for Parents "Pacing the floor is absolutely unnecessary," says Harold Pro- shansky, who is 20, unmarried and much in demand as a baby care- taker.

A dough that con- tains a little too much shortening or sugar may absorb an excess of fat during the cooking pro- cess and make your finished pro- duct unappetizingly greasy and indigestible. )3y using proportionately leas liquid in cake, bread or cookie re- cipes, honey can be substituted for other sweetening if one-third teaspoon of baking soda is added for each cup of honey. It is not necessary ' grease a griddle for baking pakes. Tie about four tablespoons salt in a clean cloth bag (double thick- ness) and rub over the griddle before each baking. Here is a simple recipe for sal- mon loaf. To cue can of minced salmon add oh.a cup of bread crumbs, one egg well beaten and half a cup of milk, Season wnith salt and pepper. Bake for thirty minutes and serve with a white sauce. When making sauces, if some- thing goes wrong and they turn out lumpy, try a rotary beater. If, beating does not smooth out the lumps, a strainer may be used as a last resort.. When eggs are being broken and shells get into them, the easi- est way to remove them is by using' a part of the eggshell in- stead of a spoon for this purpose. Always prepare your jars, plac- . ing . rubbers on, before you start canning. There will then be no delay when your fruit or vege- tables are ready to be put in jars. TA w' TALKS By SADIE B. CHAMBERS Salad Dressings At no time of the year are salads more appetizing than at this season. Firstly, the garden offers a variety of greens and vegetables, then salads simplify the menu; and they help make a balanced meal that may be serv- ed cold. A salad is no better than its dressing. Let your dressing be perfect of its kind and chosen to supplement the salad it cora pietes. The basic dressing types are important, these you will vary and "dress up" for special occasions. Try a boiled dressing, experi- ment until you reach perfection, then many additions may be made. Boiled Dressing This is my favorite boiled dressing: -- 1 teaspoon mustard %, teaspoon salt 34 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon flour lit cup brown sugar 2 eggs Vs cup rich milk % cup vinegar (diluted equal parts with water if strong). Mix dry ingredients thorough- ly, add the well beaten eggs, then add the milk. Beat a few seconds with dover beater. Cook over hot water in double boiler. Just after placing over hot water add the vinegar and give a few more turns with beater. Stir constantly until thick, remove from heat. Beat again with beater, add butter, beat a few more turns. Pour into dish until cool; set away to chill.

War's Changing Women's Hose Canadian Manufacturers Co• operate With Government to Reduce Silk Imports "What will the war -time stock. lags be like? Will they be rayon? How will they look? Are they wear. able? Can we get them int all shades and sizes? How much will they cost? Wouldn't it help the war effort more if we wore cotton in- stead of silk?" These and countless others were the questions fired at manufactur- ers of full-fashioned factory hos- iery by a representative group of Canadian- newspapermen, mag- azine editors and radio columnists at a luncheon in Toronto recently, writes Florence Elliott. The fnsh- ton writers, like all Canadian women, had been wondering what • was happening to silk stockings now that silk imports had been reduced to conserve foreign ex- change. All of them had noticed that stockings purchased recently had had other materials than silk in the tops and feet. USE COMPOSITE YARN The new Canadian wartime hos- , rzl a�pr ec'd1ng to esLent pas at east, is a ic!xtuile of real sine and rayon. These types of stock. s r'eQin tato production in Caned an din mills now, fiiit-11 wlil bl` some months yet before they be- t oine the general hose item on the market. ,:isle is also used and con times to play its part lu the tops and feet. In the ' "Mlxi.ure'i stock' ings fine filaments of real silk are twisted with filaments of the best available rayon to produce a "com- posite yarn" and this yarn is used for knitting the leg panels of the hos e. HOW THEY WASH So skilfully have the mixtures been knitted that no Canadian girl need worry about sacrificing her glamour hosiery! One minor difference, It was pointed out, is to be seen in the washing of the mixtures. Some ar- tificial fibres become weakened when wet, se extra care must be taken to avoid rough handling or wringing of the new types. .11114 St' J,P "slr The whole hsniilyr enjoys it! • Healthful, refreshing Spearmint Gum is a treat for young and old.

U.S. Girls Advised Where Men Are In a press release saying the statistics should be "interesting reading for single girls in search of adventure, travel—and hus- bands," the U. S. Census Bureau said last week: "In the Panama Canal Zone there are only 5,885 white women to 26,971 white men, The white population of other American territory includes 200 men to 100 women in America can Samoa, 204 women to 581 men in Guam, 39,318 women to 64,473 "nen in Hawaii, 13,575 women ip 25,595 men ip Alaska, and 11,675 women to 3,014 men in Puerto Rico." _ _ —77 Statistics ajuvenile crime show that 13 is Ehe "peak age" for naughtiness, especially among boys. day it seems indispensable. Soma like to resort to a sort of cere- monial and make this dressing at the table; others just buy it at the grocer's. If you wish to make your own, a salad French dressing can be just as simple as salad oil and vinegar. To this vinegar and oil all that peed be added is salt and cayenne, hen again it may be given out- standing character by the addition of garlic (try a garlic clove in the vinegar bottle). Then again, try adding curry powder, chili pow. - der, mustard or Roquefort cheese, celery salt, etc. Other additions might be chopped olives, pickle (especially dill), celery, radishes or pimento. To be "correct" use French dressing if serving a fruit or "salad course" salad at a heavy luncheon or dinner. This type of dressing must be tossed on ingre- dients whether vegetable or fruit. othea finished technique of "hostage Asx it right at the table 1..4e. in a large bowl, or simpler, be passed, each guest serving themselves. Fruit Salad Dressing There are so many variations here. You may make a fruit juice base for serving on fruit salads. Make this similar to thick dressing using fruit juice instead of milk.. On jellied fruit salads we particu- larly relish this. Again, you might fold in whipped cream to your thick boiled dressing equal parts. Another variation night be to add line juice or chopped ginger. Thousand Island Dressing To every cup of thick salad dressing add 'lata tablespoons each of finely chopped green pepper and pimento and olives (gherkins if you have them, may also be added.' To this mixture add one quarter cup catsup (or chili sauce) and fold in one-half cup of whipped cream. This dressing is quite the favorite for hearts o t lettuce, shredded raw cabbage or cress. Another variation for fruit salad dressing, add equal parts of whipped cream, adding chop- ped maraschino cherries, candied. ginger or nuts. A tart jelly addi- tion also gives a zest. A Relish Dressing The simplest is to add to your thick salad dressing, Chili sauce, catsup, chopped green relish, mus- tard relish or any of these with a little added horseradish. Excellent for fish salads. i1,ss Chambers welcomes personal letters from Interested readers.
