4 1 A The Barnwell People-Sentinel, Barnwell, S, C- ir- The Girl Who Knew Men By VIRGINIA MILLER ewvpap WNl^^rvIc. O McClure Newepaper Syndicate HERE’S ft ‘Job open?" the red- * headed girl-leaped far over the low railing which guarded the office proper to ask the woman firmly es tablished on the pay envelope aide of the railing. “Yes, there’s a position vacant,” Miss Olson had to tell, the truth, how ever much she disliked the redhead’s green beret set saucily far back over hey curls, her touched up lips and short tight little green checked dress. “Then - the Job’s mine,” the girl grinned and gave the curls a pert toss. “I know men." Miss Olson frowned at that I-know- men phrase. She critically Inspected the card the girl had handed her. “I shall ask Mr. Adams whether he cares to see you,” she said, disap proval edging her voice. She was still frowning as she crossed the ~»office ’ to Mr. Adams’ desk and put the card before him. " ^ “The employment agency has sent over this girl,” she said. Her tone called one strike on the redhead be fore the youngster ever got a chance to swing. At Miss Olson’s approach Mr. Adams had hastily put aside the morning newspaper. “Oh, yes,” he said. “Gosh, l hope I can get a good girl this moyningt The—eh—the golf tournament at my club starts this afternoon.” “I am sure the agency will send In a more satisfactory applicant before the morning Is over," Miss Olson called a second strike on the redhead. Mr. Adams took a squint at the ■ports page, sighed, and stuffed the paper carefully Into his pocket “Well, |’d better talk to this one now." So Miss Olson had ta swing the gate open to the saucy beret The redhead gave her a wink. "Watch my\eehnlque,” she murmured. She walked Jauntily. “Good morning, sir," she said cheer ily. “What a nice sunny office you have here !’ r Mr. Adams said the office was very pleasant and thought to ask about her business experience. "I’ve not had stenographic experi ence although I’ve done typing. But Tve Just completed ten weeks short hand study at night school. So you can understand, this being my first sec retarial position, that I must take great care choosing It.” the girl said calmly. Her smile flashed. "I’m sure you’re a good enough sport to realize how es sential it is to my future that I take only a position In which I’ll get broad experience." Across at her desk. Miss Olson snorted. Softly, of course. Mr. Adams looked considerably taken aback. Then he started to describe the work his secretary would be expected to do. • “Well, It sounds as If your position may be what I’m looking for," the red headed girl said encouragingly. At that sickening moment for Miss Olson, another girl from the employ ment agency arrived outside the railing. This girl’s eyes were shadowed with a terrible necessity. Miss Olson saw that necessity first. Then she saw that the plain black hat was pulled down on her head sensibly and that she used no lip stick. ‘T’ve got to have this position. I’ve got to," the girl said. Tears came to those dull, hungry eyes. Miss Olson looked at the sensible outfit and the paintless face. Scarcely glancing at the card handed her, she swung the gate open and hurried the white-face, dull-eyed girl to Mr. Adams’ desk. “The agency urges you to talk to this girl before you make your decision. She has all the qualifications you need,*’ Miss Olson said determinedly. ‘T’ve had some experience,” the girl said nervously. “Oh, Mr. Adams, I’va got to have this position. I’ve got to. I’ve an Invalid mother." She stood there, those dulled, un- ' happy eyes fixed on the young man. Having - called the third strike on the redhead, Mis^ Olson nodded to her to move to the other side of the rail ing. But the redhead was staring with wide, startled eyes at the other appli cant, so that she did not notice Miss Olson. The woman shook her in her determination to get her out of the • second girl’s way. Mr. Adams glanced from the second girl to the redheqd. He squirmed un easily. The redhead shook off Miss Olson’s hand and got to her feet She straight ened her shoulders and said with a fairly bright smile: "Sorry. I under stand, though. Just the wrong ap proach on my part And I thought I knew better." / Miss Olson marched the girl toward the gate. “Gosh I Mr. Adams exclaimed. "Gosh, redhead i Don’t clear out I’U—Miss Olson’U help the agency find another Job for this girt I want you for my secretary." The redhead’s band closed on m— Olson’s arm. “I told you to watch my technique, { know men. They do like color and a cheerful grin. A«d they klnda’ like to do the hunting." Suddenly her fingers tightened their hold. Her legs buckled and she swayed. Then she straightened and a grin spread over her face. And Miss Olson, looking Into hun ger-cruel, ugly hunger, thinly but bravely coated with Up stick and rouge, and capped with a saucy green . beret—-said warmly, la tribute to the sad-headed youngster’s pluck la face «f desperation: “You’ve made as -excellent choice, Mr. AdasML* TASTY DESSERTS ARE NO PROBLEM] Best and Simplest Are Par- faits and Mousses. \ The Household By LYDIA LE BAROtf WALKER ► 4 By EDITH M. BARBER A WRITER asks for ice cream rec- ** Ipes which can be made In an automatic refrigerator. Perhaps It Is Just as well to go on record first of all thattbe frozen des serts, goofi as they are, which can be made In the refrigerator are not ex actly like Ice cream. If you have ever made Jce cream, you will know that It Is the turning which makes the mix ture smooth and Increases their quan-^ titles. For this reason It Is always necessary to whip the cream used In preparing the mixtures which are to be frozen In the refrigerator. Perhaps the most successful des serts of this sort are the mousses or parfalts which are combinations of whipped cream, or whipped cream and Tmaten egr whites, with various fUu vorlngs. A mousse la, of course, s rich des sert, and It Is possible to make other desserts with combinations of mUk and cream. I have found that a combina tion of sweetened condensed milk di luted with water plus whipped cream Is as satisfactory as any recipe I have tried. In iny own refrigerator I get good results without stirring the mix ture during the freezing process. You may have better results In your own box If you stir the mixture at least once during the freezing period. It Is also possible to produce good desserts with whipped evaporated milk to Replace the cream, especially If yon use with It crushed fruit or chocolate. The milk must be heated and then chilled before It Is whipped. A very Uttle gelatin Is dissolved in water and added to the hot milk. I have found that unless I use condensed milk which Is already sweetened, powdered sugar Is needed to give the dessert a smooth texture. Another type of frozen dessert which can be made successfully Is a combi nation of milk, marshmallows 'and whipped cream. There are a number of other des serts which can be made with the help of a refrigerator, in which they will ! set but not freeze. One of the easiest refrigerator des serts is made by spreading thin choc olate or ginger wafers with whipped 1 cream which has been flavored with almond. They are then piled together and the roll Is laid on a plate and covered with whipped cream. After chilling for several hours in the re frigerator it should be sliced diagonal ly for serving. Marshmallow Ice Cream. 1 cup milk 25 marshmallows 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 cup cream, whipped Salt ^ Add marshmallows to milk and melt In double boiler, chill until slightly thickened.

It Is a wise thing to learn this trick at any time, but it becomes almost an essential to happiness to know how to employ time In pleasant ways without any compan- shlp, when past the prime of life. ^ Just what shall occupy the attention Is for each Individual to determine, as tastes differ widely, but there are cer tain ways which may be suggested that lie within that scope of possibility for almost every one. That is, none of the things re quire expensive out fits, nor are costly to do. Games of soli taire are a recog nized diversion. Of these there are end less kinds. Most of them are played with a single deck of cards. Some re quire cards other than the regulation ones. Entertaining Oneaelf. Numbers, Is one such game for those who do not care'for playing cards. Do- nominations rather than suits of diamonds, clubs, spades snd hearts are manipulated In much the same ways, but not so plctorlally. There Is a game called solitaire that Is played with marbles on a board. It Is Intriguing. Puzzles of all sorts and descriptions come to keep a person mentally oc cupied. They take Just enough phys ical activity to co-ordinate mind and body without actual exertion. Anagrams and cross-word puzzles are a delight to thousands of people. Besides the puzzles In newspapers, books of these entertaining types of solitaire are on the market Picture puzzles are favorites with many per sons. There are Chinese puzzles which are so Ingenious that hours can be whiled away In the attempt to solve them, such as a ball made of many pieces which lock together into this shape only when matched deftly. Occupations in Variety. . Embroidery, knitting, crocheting, tatting, and all forms of artistry done with a needle of one sort or another employ a woman’s tlmg pleasantly, and with such good results that her handi work can aid in decoration of a home, In practical ways, as found in rugs, ta ble linens, etc. Also, handsome acces sories of costumes can be so made, or ornamented, such as bags and scarfs. Interest In collecting special articles Is a marvelous way of keeping one’s Interest In things that are broadening In scope. This can be done without companionship, but whatever the sub ject chosen. It never fails to bring one In contact with those of similar Interests. So It iworks to the advan tage of occupation alone, and to com panionship at times with those mutu ally minded. Games of cards come In the category of entertainments that are inactive enough for those In advancing years to enjoy. These, also, help to foster con tacts of social life. Those past the • prime of life should know how to play good games of cards. The Joy of Living. It Is surprising how easy It Is to complain and how hard It Is to be thankfuL This seems to be an actual attitude toward the things of life, even though by so doing we strengthen and exaggerate the difficulties, and decrease and render less effectual the fortunate ones. We are Incjined to blame cir cumstances and sometimes other peo ple for our misfortunes without real izing that. In small or large measure, we have ourselves to blame—not in causing the troubles, perhaps, though we often do that, but In making the effects of them continue and thereby adding to the weight of them. Without being a Pollyanna, we can be thankful much more often than wv are. It Is more than likely that dr cumstances, and other people are part ly or entirely responsible for the good as well as the bad things. But fpi the fortunate matters we are prom to feel that, to our own efforts, credh Is due. It is not suggested that wf attribute to misfortunes any need of good fortune. However, If we scan the former carefully we shall find that there are certain aspects not all bad For these flecks and areas of good we can rejoice. It It amazing how one good thought will leal to another, and we may find, without forcing Joy Into trouble, we still may lessen the latter by onr discernment • Bell ayndlcAt*.—wftu ScrvtM. 1 a Spanish Influence ^ That pleasant asset of Spanish type houses—the patio—Is now being Adopt ed more and more widely by modern day builders.

Streamlined Vacation New Way Among Americans Vacation in America Is no longer s homespun relaxation nnder s tent In the woods or In the lonely cabin up the creek.
