mw. ’1 THURSDAY, JUNE TTH, 1*28. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA rAGE Tl mts for the by Nancu Mart u VERY LATESTS •Each year as the home , service bureaus of the newspapers and maga zines expand, we are furnished with better and better information about how to prepare commonplace foods in appetizing ways. And added to this service we may have the educational booklets of manufacturers who maintain staffs of chefs to invent new ways of using staple foods prepared by them. Do we make full use of these helps, I wonder? Do we send quickly for the food bulletins offered by home publications—or do we put it off until another day? Do we clip cou pons from the leading magazines and add the free tecipe books to our own meager store? bet us not neglect these opportuni ties to enlarge our cooking program. For the pri^e of a stamp or two we may fill the kitchen files with home making helps and receipts that will be of invaluable help in menu planning and preparing meals. And how the family will rejoice! Variety is just as spicy as it ever was, you know. “Ehsemble forever”—the stylists seem to insist—without a word of pro test from DS, since their expressions of the mode are so charming. From early spring ensembles of wool the vogue advances to late spring and all-summer models that are ex tremely practical, for all their dainti- itess; Among the most interesting combi nations aie thos$ using, plain and printed faille, or polka-dotted fabrics reversed—the dark ground and light dots being used for the coat and the light ground with dark spots for the overblouse. The plain satin ensemble is also ex- „ tremely chic, as is shown in the accom panying photograph. Palest honey-' beige satin has been used for frock and full length coat, and notice particular- i ly the new collar, with its long sailor tie of darker beige. Simplicity can be veny dressy—if one chooses satin for the summer ensem ble. Chicken Mousse. A This is a splendid recipe to use as the main dish for Sunday night tea—when guests are expected: Dissolve Vi package of lemon- f.avored gelatin in a cup of boiling chicken broth. When^cold, beat with rotary egg beater until consistency of whipped cream. Mix with it a cup diced chicken, a cup diced celery, 1! chopped pimiento, a tablespoon vine gar, Vi teaspoon salt, a shake of cay enne. Fold in a half cup whipped cream. Mold and chill until firm. Gar- jiish with lettuce and olives. Scarf Sets-of-Three. For sports wear the new three-piece! scarf sets are enjoying a popularity] tiered flarte4>elo$e$l Pai is designers, that is most emphatic.

Wash berries before hulling and drain thoroughly. Use equal parts of benies and sugar (beet or cane). Heat slowly to boiling point and boil two minutes. Remove, put in pans or crocks and set in sun until as thick as desired. ' Sealing Jellies and Jams. Paraffining is the easiest and best method of protecting jellies and jams. Apply a thin coating of melted wax as soon as jelly is poured; next day add a heavier coat, rolling the glass so the hot wax runs around edges and makes a perfect seal. a narrower scarf to bind the bobbed hair of the lucky girl who owns one of these sets. Colors are high; designs modernistic—just what you’d expect . f oXjl real sport scarf—only more so. — \ How Do You Flare Today? The^ ipost capricious of the modern flaies appears at the left side of the skirt, and seems to spring from no- wdiere in particular, since the balance of the skirt remains straight. Then there is the back flare; next the two- study your flares carefully apd choose tlj^one that brings out your best points. It makes a difference! High Colors Lead. If you must be quiet and retiring, there are the neutral tones of grey and beige, of course. But Paris says—Be gay. Be not afraid of high colors, but choose them wisely, selecting each with special care that it may be in harmony with your wardrobe as a whole—and also be one of “your”‘ shades.

D STARCHES. Much of our food may be classified as starchy. We could not get along without a certain^ amount of the car bohydrate. It is only with the excess * covere( j with an inch of soil on t of starch that I attempt to deal here. Common starches are rice, potatoes, bread and cereals that are marketed under trade names. The admixture of sugar makes the starchy foods more tempting. We eat five or six times as much starch as we~really need. Most any well-set dinner table has four or five starches, when one would be abun dant. The well-living housekeeper sets on her table two kinds of bread, al ways potatoes, maybe Lima beans, or baked beans, cake, pie with starch crusts, and i;ice pudding occasionally! If I were permitted to hang a motto above the American dinner-table—one thatwoulc/ do good—I would certainly pijpclaim. “One starch—ncjt four.” Whten too much starch is piled into " * the system, the liver is given more than it can do perfectly—and the liver is the largest gland in the body. It transforms all the star ( ch it can; the overplus is deposited about the body; we become fat, mushy, flabby in mus cle and mentality. We are overloaded with ballast. We have all sorts of “liver trouble.” Physicking does nq good—not even temporarily. Cuttin down the starch is the only ratioqhl way. If we do not—then nature makes us sick—and we are compelled to diet in order to get well—and nine times —— y —' - - ■ / out of ten the offender is starch/taken in great excess. Excess of starch weakens; makes us FLOWERS FOR POOR SOIL. If you are confronted with poor soil in the place you v\ ; sh to glow flower, you will have to select those varieties that will succeed in spite of the soil they find themselves in. At one time^ I had a spot in a garden I was build ing that was nothing but an ash |dle T did not wish to take the time to replace the soil, so I planted Nasturtiufns and they grew and bl. omed to perfection. If ^/ou plant Nasturtiums iri rich soi) they will all go to foliage jmd be a to tal loss. Iwill mention just ii few annuals that may be depended upon to give you bloom in most apy soil that may be worked at all. They are all of the easiest culture and may be seeded right where you want /them to bloom and with a little car/ to see that they get water enough they will bloom very nicely. Here is the list: Portulaca, Verbena, leg Plant, Sweet Alyssum, Cocksdomb/Kbchia, Nasturtium and Eachr’or Button. If your soil is poor the Thing to do ’s to mpke ’t better. Most any soil may W impre .ei by adding plenty of leaf mould ot compost, and if neither of those i r > available y.u may add a itoral supply of pulverized Peet Moss. o. j ou v dl find that constant culti- \/,tion v,.T help your soil. If you are ble to obtain some w'ell-rotted barn yard manure P will help the soil won derfully. If you have a lot of any size and the soil is poor you may in a period of two years improve it so that you would hardly know it. This may be done with green manuring.

The wife stood before the picture which had been put aside in the attic long ago and there came back to her the days when she had painted it. Cambridge had stood by wondering when she applied the finishing touches. He had even said that he hoped—she remembered the delightful fear which came into his eyes—thajt she would not let ah art career stand in the way of. - . . Then he had proposed and the picthre was the prized omameni In the little house that was theirs in those blissful days before there were money and success and—she sighed— the disillusionment of years. * Now the picture was in the attic. Cambridge Turner, the slim youth of other days, had filled out and was the picture of a prosperous merchant. She wondered how she looked to him, how it had happened that these changes had taken place. It had all been so gradual and neither had realized. “The day he let me take the pic ture down,” she said, “must have been the turning point. “I thought he would miss it, ask for it, and he never did.” Florence Turner raised her apron to her eyes and wept. Sudden ly she stopped, stood erect and defiant as if making a resolve. “You are too old for romance,” she told herself. “It time for you to bo sensible. Cambridge is a model hus band. Maybe he is too good for you.” “All the same,” she said after a little while, “I must get rid of this picture.” . * The rummage sale of the Ladies’. Aid was enriched with the oil painting which had once held so high a place in the Turner home and heartSi With bonnets, shawl?, vases and books it was put in the windbw to turn its faded face to tire passing crowd. And Florence Turner, who had left it there, walked slowly home making brave re solve that she would act hereafter as a sensible woman of fort^. Cambridge Turner was a little late for dinner. When he qppeared it was with a shame-faced a I “Flo,” he said, Irritatingly, “I did something Jtoday Which, maybe you won’t understand.!^ There was almost a ho\ Mi appeal/in his eyes. “You know/’/ne apologized, “I have always left tire decorations of the house to you, ever since we left the little place* The furniture and the pictures, Flo, I have let you choose them, ha/en’t I?” . “Cambridge Turner,” the wife inter rupted, “what have you been up to now Visibly he wilted. Then, with an efTbrt, he summoned strength. •*'. 1 “I bought something today that 1 want to have In the house. It reminds me of something else you took away. You know, that picture you made of the pansies, the picture I liked so well and you thought wasn’t good enough for the new hou?e? Well, I found an other, almost like it.” He was pitiful in his lack of ease, putting a youth's plea of this wife ,who had turned ro Inance out for the luxuries of wealth. “It isn’t the same and it will never mean so much, but really, it js almost like the picture you painted and 1 thought, I thought you would not mind my having it in my room.” For a moment he was silent. In her happiness at discovery she w ate lied him, afraid the moment would end.
