Disguising Cjfttor Oil
To tho Editor of Woman's Paot:
Dear Msdam Many attempts to dlsruls
castor oil In different ways are mnde. but the
most effective method I have found Is to pour
a small quantity of lemon Juice In a tumbler.
Jhen add the cator oil, and on top of this' more
emon Juice. The acid taste completely disguises
the oil. I have always considered It a bad plan
to ctvo to children castor oil mixed In sarsu
?arilla or some other drlnlc the child may like.
or I can remember my own experiences as a
child. The taste was never lost, and It only
resulted tu my loathing whatever beverare was

Manner of Introduction
To the Editor ot lfoman's Paot:
Dear Mndnni Will ou kindly tell me which
Is the correil wny to Introdtue n man to another
inon? Hhould I Jut say. ".Meet Mr. Illunk, Mr.
James." or, "bhake handi with Mr. Ulank, Mr.
James"? A snjs the first way Is correct, but
I heard th-xther way In tLe street car recently
and I wondered If this wus correct. DAN.
Neither one li correct In tho matter. Tho
two Instnnces jou cllo are very provincial
and would bo conRldered In bad form. Tho
correct form of Introduction Is to say to
tho older of tho two, "Mr. James, may I
present Mr. Blank?" An cany form of In
troduction Is. "You know Mr. James, do ou
not. Mr Wank?" i:ither manner of urea
entntlon la proper.
A Wny to Entertain
To the Editor ot lt'omnii'i Page:
Dear Mndam Will ynu kindly suggest a way
nf entertaining- twenty youne people of both
sexes for several hours in the evening? I want
to Klvn n small entertainment, and many of
my mind do not dante. What would you
eUEgent ? Would Ice cream and cakes be suf
ficient for refreshments? (Sirs.) W. K, J.
If your younR friends do not danco It
would be well to havo a few Ram en pre
pared I llnd n Rnme which nets the wlta
to work Is UMially of Interest to younu
people. An interesting gamo Is called
"Cocks That Never Crow," and there Is a
"Cat Oamo" on tho samo order. These
may lie found In various game books. You
provide each KUest with a paper and pencil.
On v each paper a number of questions are
written. For the first game tho answers
all begin with the word "cock." Kor in
Btanco: A cock with a ribbon Cockade.
A cock without a doubt Cocksuro.
The cat same may bo got up in tho aamo
manner, as:
A cat which asks questions Catechise.
A cat with fins Catfish.
Tliero aio any number of games which
may be found In the department stoiea for
an Informal occasion.
Icos and cakes would be sufficient.
Tor Charity or Society?
To the Editor ot l!'omm'j JMoe:
...vSrS1--Mlla.mT:?.u'r I.b9 bola " to ask
whether ."first aid" meetings are social functions
for chatty women or charity organisations for
sensible women? Tor myself. I think that many
are Jhe former and only a few the latter. I
knorf very little about surgical supplies, but on!
h in know very little to be able to see that
hundreds of bandages, compresses, spongss. etc .
are absolutely1 useless until the poor lady in
charge goes over the articles made and. conse
quently. Is late for dinner. How many g rl. and
women really go lo these meetings with the
dea of accomplishing something more than
learning a lot of goiiTp and telling even more?
These organisations In my opinion, are splen
did, and give women a chance to do something
for their country, and are run by Stic lint
women. Let us hope the present crisis will
make the members of th. Emergency Aid look
at things more seriously, and that If war must
come the materlala ot hand, will be used, and
not laughed at. E. K. II.
The Deadly Pacifier
!fo the Editor of Woman'. Paot:
Dear Madam Being a mother, may I pom.
with a llttlo p,rlenc. In children and give J
little word of warning to young mothers In
regard to their children? I wVndertow 5"
mothers who are tired and worn out from the
day's nervous strain, In order to oulit their
fretful teething babies gy. them a pic ner or
rubber nipple to suck?. I do not believe. If
mothera knew the dreadful results of the paci
fier, they would tver let their babies have one.
no matter If th.y dropped with fatigue. Nine
out of every ten children , who suck these
psclflera get adenoids in their throats. Thss.
adenoid, hinder them In more ways than one.
especially In school work. If mothers would
go to their druggist and ask him for a good
teething lotion for the baby, and rub It on th.
litis gums, it would quiet It right away, and
Instead of a. fretful, crying baby they would
hav. a laughing, crowing baby. 1 anew, lor I
haw been through It all. It Is not a bad ids.
,to have the children", throats examined by a
good doctor. It may save a world of trouble for
ih.m, as there are other things whlfh reuse
the adenoids. 8I8TEH (JLLIE.

FRIDAY'S FASHION SUGGESTION
HOUSEHOLD HELPS
,Tcn Dishwashing "Don'ts"
ZJ
DON'T wash Uio dishes by liatnl ot nil,
but press Into servlco a good dish
washer one that you havo not only seen
demonstrated, bu havo actually tried your
self. This Is perhaps tho most labor-sav-Inn
"don't." For bo many Improvements
have been mado In mechanical dlshwash
crs in iccent years that It Is now posslblo
for the housewife with nn averngo Income
to acquire ono without feellni? that sho Is
unduly extravagant. A jtood dishwasher
will wash tho dishes for tho cntlro family
In about two-thirds of tho tlmo that It
takes to do them by hand, and sometimes
even less.
However, If you can't havo a mechanical
dlRhwasher there are a number of llttlo
helps that will make tho task easier for
you.
Don't put dishes Into tho dlshpan until
they havo been scraped thoroughly. A ten
cent wooden plato scraper will savo you
as many minutes.
Don't put any dlslt that has contalnod
ess Into hot water first. That will simply
took tho ege moro firmly on to tho dish.
Don't put any dish that has contained
milk Into hot water. Both milk nnd egg
containers of nny kind should always bo
.in..,i nret with rnirl w.iter beforo bclnit
plunged Into tho hot dishwater.
Don't wash greasy pots or utensils that
hae contained grcaso of any kind In tho
dlshpan until they havo first been rinsed
with boiling soda water. Thli is just ns
much to protect tho wasto plpos In tho

Clogging up of tho wasto pipes Is cry
often duo to this ono thing, for unless
tho gtense is cut oy tno soaa water it
hardens and sticks fast.
Don't put utensils, (.poona or strainers
vi t havo containcu gelatin into not water.
i ,t will set tho gelatin firmly, Just ns
hot water acts on egg. Itlnso first in cold
water to removo gelatinous substance.
Don't lmmerno cako bowls or muffin pans
or plo plates to which crust or batter still
adheres In the dlshpan. Scrapo with n
spatula first.
Don't try to clean pots nnd pans with a
dishcloth. There. Is a stiff, rnnall brush
that can ba purchased for ten cent! for
this purpose. Or you can trim a small,
stiff whisk broom a little shorter so ns
in k1 a good loverago, and uso this for

It has been many joais since the paisley

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
How the Day Was Saved
-VII, MISSIS dlAHAM. dls Is joost
J awful. I could cry my ojes all out "
Katie stood In tho middle of our flooded
kitchen, tho picture of despair. Tho water
from tho overflowed bathtub In tho apart
ment abovo had nearly wrecked tho cheer
ful tidy room which wns Katie's pride
"ver mind, Katie." 1 tried to mako
my volco calm and reassuring, although I,
too, felt as It I could "cry my eyes nil
out."
"Dot no good to sav 'never mind ' "
Katie's voice was sullen "I feox din kitchen
so nice dls morning, clean my koh stove,
scrub my floor, get everything ready so I
havo nil my' time for lunch. I get me up
at 5 o'clock. Now Joost look at It." Sho
swept the room with n gesture of her band
that was really qulto tragic.
I ulanced nt tha clock. The hands Indi
cated twenty minutes after 9, I mado a
sudden, swift decision.
"I will help you. Katlo. Just let mo
get out of these clothes and wo will hurry
around together."
"I 'frald you get too tired " Tho words
wero deprecatory, but I caught tho relieved
tone In tho girl's volco nnd it repaid me
a llttlo for my decision to put aside my own
plans In order to help her.
But I was much depressed as I hurried
out of my Btrcet gown and Into a working
dress and kitchen apron. I had been so
pleased that eerythlng wns In such spot
less readiness for tho nrrlval of my mother-in-law.
Kspecially had I been gratified to
have a little time to mvself before her ar
rival. I dislike being flurried nnd hurried
when receiving a guest. With tho prepara
tion of luncheon In Katie's efficient hands
and the apartment In readiness I had qulto
reveled In tho opportunity to go out and
purchase fresh flowers for the rooms with
plenty of tlmo on my bands. I wanted
to rest and compose myself for tho ordeal
of meeting the critical eyes of my mother-in-law.
But there was to ba no rest for mo on
this occasion. As I entered tho kitchen
ngftln I heard the sound ot Bobbing. Katie
was gazing despairingly at a pudding mold
on the table before m and crying bitterly.
"Look," tho cried, tragically, "all spoiled.
I trow heem out"
"Stop, Katie," I seized her hand as she
reached for the mold. "Let me look at It."
It was Katie's culinary masterpiece upon
which I gazed, the dish of which she was
proudest It was a mysterious concoction
of eggs and cream with a stiffening, flavor
and coloring whloh wore Katie's own secret.
I knew that Katie always made It hours
befnro It was to be used because of th
time necessary for the proper molding,
When It came upon tho table, a rose-pink
fluted mound, It was a dessert to delight
the eye and palate ot the most critical
gueBt or tho most anxious hostess,
Dut now on ono of Its delicate sides were
great drops ot dirty water.
KATIE'S MASTERPIECE SAVED
"I uch fool," walled Katie. "I wanted
to see how It looked on plate. I Joost had
It out wen dot water he come down make

it all spoiled. Vat I feex now for dessert?"
"Did tho water touch It nnytthere but on
this side?" I asked.
"No, Joost dere. Why?" Katie's voice
held an Inflection of hope
"I think wo enn us-o It."
"O Missis Graham'" Katlo's clasped
hands, her entreating eyes would have
spurred ono to attempt the impossible.
"You know you always bring this on by
Itself, with tho whipped cream sauco In a
separato dish. Now, If jou will take a
thin, Miarp knife nnd cut off every traco of
water, you can heap some whipped cream
not only agnlnst this side, but against the
opposlto sldo also. I think it will look Just
ds pretty, and no one will eer know."
"O Mlsslj Graham, you such smart lady,"
sighed Katie "I Joost so glad could run
all around. Hut." anxiously, "will you have
enough whipped cream sauco If you do dot?"
"Of courso not. You must prepare n
double portion of the sauce"
"I not lime enough crenm for coffee den,
and do milkman, ho here already, ho no
como back."
"When I go for tho flowers I will bring a
bottle with mo from tho delicatessen."
"All right don," Katie's face radiated re
stored cheerfulness. "I no care for Oder
work, now pudding not spoiled. Hurry me
qtieeck, clean gas stove and floor again."
"What can I do to help jou, Katie?" I
felt quite meek beside tho zeal and effi
ciency which Katie displayed.
"Let mo tlnk," Katie put her finger to
her forehead In n ludicrous llttlo gesture,
r.Wdently she was enjoying to the full the
novelty of directing her mistress. "You
vant dot cream of tomato vat you call It?"
"nisque," I prompted, amused.
Katlo sklited tho difficulty composedly.
"Dot's It," she nnnounceil triumphantly.
Veil, you can fix dot In double boiler. Den
I can beat It Jcost before you sit down.
ou say you want baked potatoes for broiled
steak and warm biscuits?"
,'.'e?,' lCaJ"0' that's what J Planned."
-V ell, I fix all dot, nnd tho pudding, heem
nil done, nut de salad, you better feex
Den I put heem In Ice box."
..3elin Te"' ,Katle' ' wl" Prepare the
salad first, and vthen make the bisque. It
will not have to stand so long."
"Dot's all right," returned Katie, who

one. On each plate I laid three crlsn let-

The cold of the pineapple looked exceed-
Ingly well against tho green of the lettuce
leaves. I stopped a moment to admire
tho combination before piling In tho center
of ench pineapple slice a tiny snowy mound
of cottage chceso. Upon tho top of the
cheeso I placed an Immense Btuffed olive.
"How do you like these, Katie?" I was
Just foolish enough to deslro tho applause
which I knew Katlo would furnish.
"Oh, how nico!" Katlo caroled. "Vat
kind of dressing you want on dot?"
"Tho samo kind you put on tho salad
last night," I returned, "That prepared
mayonnalso mixed with cream. Keep the
Balad, tho dressing and tho cream on tho
Ice until almost tho last minute. Then mix
the dressing with tho cream, garnish the
salad and serve."
"Yes, yes, I know," Katlo nodded vehe
mently, I sot tho three plates of Balad In the re
frigerator and then turned my attention to
the blsquo, which I had planned for tho
first courso. Into a saucepan I put half
tho contents of a can of tomatoea and
half an onion sliced, while Into tho double
boiler I turned a quart of milk. Putting
these on tho gas Btove to simmer I mixed
a tablcspoonfu! of butter In etlll another
saucepan, adding as tho mixture cooked
enough of tho hot milk from tho double
boiler to make It pour easily. Then I
stirred this mixture carefully Into the
boiling milk and continued the boiling for
ten minutes, adding nnother teaspoonful of
butter In tiny pieces until tha whole mix
ture was smooth and creamy. I seasoried
It with salt, black pepper and a dash of
cayenne and turned out the gas Jet under
It I strained the hot tomatoes Into a
bowl nnd Bet tho bowl In a pan of hot
water over a tiny gas flame to keep hot
"Katie, will you please come here a

Katlo obediently dropped her scrubbing
brush and came to tho gas stove.
"Ten minutes before you serve luncheon,
Katie, turn the gas on under this double
boiler and heat this mixture to tho boiling

delivery postman stood there holding out
a letter to me. As I signed his slip I saw
that the handwriting upon the letter was
Jack's.

maraschino cherry, on indi
vidual slices and watch the
family "smack their lips."
