Mrs. P. W.:
Oyster au Gratin
Wash and look over carefully
twenty-five oysters. Strain the juice
through a fine sieve and then add
sufficient milk to measure one end
one-half cupfuls. Place in a sauce
pan and add four level tablespoon
fuls of flour. Dissolve the flour in
the milk and then bring to a boil.
Cook for five minutes and then add
the oysters,
One and one-half teaspoonfula of
salt,
One teaspoonful of paprika,
Two tablespoonfuls of finely
minced parsley,
One cupful of finely minced celery
and the prepared oysters. Mix thor
oughly and then turn into a baking

My dear Mrs. Wilson Would
you please give me a recipe for
lady fingers? As I make them
they are very good, but they
spread out of shape in tho baking.
Also I would like to know how to
make patty shells for chicken pat
ties, etc. B. T.
B. T.:
Lady Fingers
One-half cupful of sugar,
Yolks of two eggs.
Cream well and then add
Three-quarters cupful of flour,
One teaspoonful of baking powder.
Beat well. Beat whites of eggs
until very stiff and then cut and fold
in stiffly beaten whites into the mix
ture. Lay off in greased and floured
paper on a baking sheet, using a
pastry bag with a plain tube.
It would be impossible to give you
a practical working method for puff
paste. For patty shells it would re
quire practice to give good results.
Butter is very expensive to use for
these shells. Try mailing a rich
biscuit dough and then cutting out
tho centers. These may bo baked
and then filled as required.
Four tablespoonfuls of sirup,
Two tablespoonfuls of shortening,
One egg,
'One and one-quarter cupfuls of
water.
Beat to mix jnd then bake in well
greased muffin pans in a moderate
oven for thirty-five minutes.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
IT 'WOULD bo Interesting to know Just
why It li that the eastern woman
clings to tho straight line one
pieco dress while tho western woman
Inclines much mora to tho more fitted
typo of frock? This Is not a surmise,
but an nctual fact based upon tho or
ders from women's npparel shops In
vnrlous part of tho country. One might
think thn It would be not n matter of
geographical location, but n figure, and
that women would be guided only by the
question of becomlngness. It may bo
In fact that tho New York type of
woman looks better In the chemise typo
of frock than In the fitted type and
that the, woman of the West is most
charming- when wearing n, fairly snug
frock.
The dress here pictured Is character
istic of tho sort that eastern women
nre selecting for enrly spring wear. It
is of dark bluo tricotinc and, by the
way, New York women, for Instance,
more than women in any other part
of the country, do stick to dark colors
for day-time outdoor wear. The front
has a long panel, on either side of
which nnd on the cuffs there Is rich
silk embroidery. There Is a Bhavvl
collar of white satin that may be re
moved easily to be cleaned. The loosely
adjusted glrdlels of heavy silk cord.
And tho touue is of lacquered llsere
trimmed with crushed roses. Now this
Is Just the sort of get-up that Is so
characteristic of the New York woman.
To be sure, for street wear she selects
a suit, but when, for Instance, she has
committee work to do and wants to
wear something that will be comfortable
nnd sultnble perhaps for luncheon or
tea at n friend's house, she dons aifrock
and hat of this type, a. cape or cloak
of. generous proportions nnd motors to
her destination, removing the outer
wrap, ns she would never dream of
removing the coat to n suit when she
gets to her destination.

What to Charge Ex-Soldiers
To the Editor 0 Woman's Page:
Dear Madam Plense help mo once more.
Two discharged soldlera from other cities
have come to Philadelphia to work and In
cidentally make thflr home with me. What
In tho world would be a fair charge? No
other hoarders.
They sleep In a large front bedroom, with
bay window-, comfortably but not necessarily
expensively furnished, curtains at windows,
etc.. steam heat, washing and Ironing at
tended to and breakfast and the evening
mal. Use of the parlor and talking ma
chine Is also allowed.
We live well, serving no substitutes real
butter and fresh eggs.
I wish to da my part, as one Is without
parents, and want him to know real home
with small charge and still fair to myself.
I3irs.; -4.
I have consulted the Philadelphia Bu
reau of Boarding Houses for Olrls, an
organization expert on these matters,
and am told 9 a week would be a fair
and nt the same time very reasonable
amount to charge each of the ex-soldlers.
You could not charge less and be fair to
yourself. . Your little military family
sounds like a cry Jolly one.

necause my nose ana loreneaa ana even my

scaly and so oily. Oh. it is dreadful! And

It did no good.

T l nnt dreadful to have shiny skin.
and It Is surely not dreadful to use a lit
tle powder and a bit of cream to take off
the shine. When the skin is scaly and
oily as well It Is a little hard to treat,
for the remedy for the olliness Is apt to
make It scaly. The best thing Is to de
cide to keep yourself In top-notch health
and your complexion will soon Improve.
Be careiui or your uiev, emiug jjteuiy ut
greens and little sweets nnd pastries.
rvHnir lots of water and take Dlenty of
exercise. The soap you mention Is good.
but you should use warm water witn it,
as the cold does not help to penetrate the
pores and thus cleanse them. In using
inn inm follow the directions on the
wrapper. Be faithful to this treatment.

your home some time around St Valen
tines uay Ji bo, 01 course, you 11 warn
red hearts to be your table decorations.
And against the snowy whiteness of the
tablecloth they look uncommonly nice.
You can purchase them In various sizes
forty in a box for five cents. And
If you wanted to', you could string them
together with red'rlbbon.
I saw them today nnd passed them
by. "What good could extra stocking
feet do a body!" I sniffed disdainfully.
Then I began to figure the matter out
If a child were very hard on its stock
ing feet, but left the uppers Intact; if
a man's favorite "wearing place" were
the heels of his socks; or. If some one
else suffered from feet that nre ex
tremely sensitive to cold, what could be
better than an extra pair of stocking
feet for protection of one sort or an
other? They are black, come In all sizes
and cost but ten oents a pair.
Soap Is one of my extravagances. I

today is a brand-new kind to me. It

boyhood ho went to his father to have

he could catalogue the different kinds.
"Vour dad's too busy to bother
about that, son," was tho way tho

were received.
NOW isn't It bad enough for thou

too many parents hurriedly Imagine

they furnish food nnd a roof to shelter
them from the elements.
Dut all the grandeur of stately man

cannot make up to a child for lack of

And So They
By UAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
Copurtaht, 1)19, 01 Public Ledger Co.
POLLY DAYTON was not really
wicked, but she was essentially
selfish. She looked like Isabel Carter
would have if Isabel had been dark and
thirty-five, which meant that she was
slender, extraordinarily well groomed
and good-looking in a hard polished way.
She had as an excuse for mingling in
tho gay Bohemian crowd she liked the
fact that sho dabbled In different things.
No ono knew Just what they were and
as for actually selling any of her mate
rial it was out of the question.
She tolerated her husband and yet she
was rather fond of him. Deep In her
heart of hearts she Uked him perhaps
better than she pretended to on the
surface. It simply did not fit In with
her hard, scintillating self to care very
much for any one. Nick, however, she
adored. She Uked him mainly because
he was not as easy ,to understand as her
husband. No one ever understood Nick,
but most people Uked him nevertheless,
and Scott's disapproval of hlrh waadue
entirely to the fact that It had once been
said that Nick could do anything he
liked, with women.
If Nick could, ho never talked about
It. To tell the truth ho was sincere after
a fashion. He never toolt advantage of
young girls, mit he was in search of a
thrill of some kind, therefore he liked to
experiment. He never blamed hlmsuii
because women lost their heads.
One morning not long after Scott nnd
Ruth had gone to the Dayton studio
Polly Dayton lay on the chaise longue In
her room reading her morning mall and
sipping her coffee. She looked up with
a laugh as Nick came In, nnd threw her
letters Into her lap, moving aside so
that Nick could sit down beside her.
"Now -what?" she laughed.
"Did you like Ruth Raymond?" His
question was abrupt. He had not spoken
of Ruth to Polly since the affair.
"Yes, very much, but she Isn't danger
ously fascinating like Mrs. Portland nor
Is she wldo-eyed innocence like little
Mrs. Hartley. Isn't she a departure?"
she smiled up at her brother In a fashion
that made her words simply admiring.
Nick laughed too, and lazily lit a
cigarette. "Scott's a nlco chap, but he
doesn't like me, he doesn't approve of
me either, bu. that Is neither here nor
there. Do you know that fool couple
have Ideas about a fifty-fifty existence,
making experiments with friendships
and so forth. As If It would work with
a woman like Ruth Raymond."
"And why not with Ruth Raymond?
I believe in it."
"You're not Ruth Raymond."
"And pray, what is there about Ruth
Raymond that is so different from me?"
"Everything." Nick did not say It as
though It admitted of any refutation, he
merely announced It
Ladybird
See how I hold you lightly, Lady
bird, Here in my heavy hand a mo-
ment pressed,
Your tiny wings atremblo and
your breast
Pulsing with fear; your Argosy de
ferred, Your song, in its accustomed place,
unheard,
And all tho places that you loved
the best,
The open sky, the winds of night,
your nest.
Know you no more, oh captive,
, . Ladybird!
I have no cage to keep you in my
heart
Tour wings were meant for flying
and your song
For other cars than mine; the
moon looks in
My open window; when you will,
depart
The stars aro calling; though tho
night be long,
My empty hand Is warm where you
have been.

"Yes, and I think this Is a good time
to know Ruth better. W,hy don't you
ask her downtown to lunch with you
some day soon?"
"Sho wouldn't leave her husband."
"She can't bo with him constantly,
and he's getting better."
"Heavens, Nick, I'm sure I'don't see
why I should do this. I wasn't par
ticularly taken with tho girl."
"Dut I'll bo there, you see, and you
needn't stay after lunch."
Polly threw up her hands In despair.
"Oh, all right, but I don't see why you
don't manage things yourself."
"I can't Just yet, but ,1 probably shall

"You know entirely too much about

"You'll do It, then?" ,
"Yes, I'll do It You'd better get along
to tho office. It's late."
"All right, good luck to you. Let me
know the results, will you?"
Polly nodded. Sho was onco more
deep In her mall.
As Nick walked to the subway he was '
deep In thought. Polly had not asKed
him how he knew nil this about Ruth,
but Ruth herself had told him laughing
ly nbout it. Ruth prescnteil a now type
to Nick and Nick was always In search
of new types of women. As yet he uia
not entirely understand her. He did not
know whether he had he? classed cor
rectly or not, but she was in his thoughts
a great deal. She was that lovely unu
unfinished thing, tho cross between tho
new woman andtha old. He had had a
strange stirring of the pult.es on Sunday
when he had held her in bis arms and
It had piqued his curiosity.' When had
he been stirred by a woman beforof Not
since he could remember. The others
had bored him when they began to care.
The possibility of not knowing what
would happen, the knowledge that this
woman had the power to make him feel,
was an entirely new experience for Nick

Havo you eeen tho novel crocheted
boudoir caps? They are crocheted in
white wool, with trimmings in the way
of scalloped edges In pink, violet or blue
wool. And, of course, there are ribbon

caps nre made most attractively, and ore
as dainty almost ns a combination of
net and chiffon.
They are really an admirable Idea for
some of tho cold days of winter and
any one who wishes to protect the head
at night against the cold air on a sleep
ing porch, or from a nearby wide-open
window, might wear one of these as a
nightcap.
The removal of a hair growth
from under the arms or the
