My dear Mrs. Wilson I am a young housewife just beginning to cook and I would like to know why the meringue on any baked pud ding, such as rice puddings, is hich and puffy when taken out of the oven and afterward gradually goes down until it is flat, then it some times cracks around the edge of the pan and goes to the middle? This makes the pudding look queer and I don't know what is wrong with it. J. C. M. See custard pies and meringue for August 5 for detailed instructions on making meringues.

J.Zi&J,-SZsZ2Xt& Most artistic effcrls ran he obtained by using moist sand In arranging flowers. One of the advantages Is that a low bowl can be used THE cro rather unusual nnd nrtistie proupitiR or flowers shown in the illustration Is accomplished by arrang ing the flowers In moist sand instead of in a vase filled with water. This method has several advantages. More artistic and more natural effects are obtained by the ue of snnd, for the flowers mav he f,prcad out nnd ar ranged as they would grow in nature. The sand keeps each stem in place nnd holds its erect. Then, too, flow ers may !" arranged in n low bowl, which is always attractive and which is quite impossible in n bowl filled with water Even very long stems will Maud up in moist sand. A tine sand must bo selected and plnced in the howl or basket in which the flowers are to be nrranRed. Very nrtistie gmupinR js possible when a basket is chosen, and in this case sev eral thicknesses of paper must be used as a lining before the sand is put in. A zinc lining made to fit the basket is ideal if one makes a practice of ar ranging flowers in this way. Pack the sand down well nnd moisten it with Please Tell Me What to Do Hy CYNTHIA Puzzled Peggie and Pearl Hear Cynthia We are two pals of seventeen nnd eighteen summers, con sidered good looking by both sexes, but cannot make ourselves attrnctive. Would bobbing our hnir make us more attractive, as wo cannot fix our hair nice? In doing so would our gen tlemen friends think less of us? Is It necessary to rise when intro duced (o n young man? PEGCHE AND PEARL. I am sorry Peggie nnd Pearl, but I could not tell you whether bobbing jour hair would be becoming or not, never having seen jou. Ordinarily it is a mistake to bob the huir; it is seldom becoming nnd very often gives n most peculiar effect to some faces, no mat ter how good looking a person ts. As I do not know the boys you know, T could not answer for their opinions either, my dears. But you would be wise to arrange your hair us neatl.v nnd becomingly as possible and try then to forget that vou think you are not at tractive nnd be your nntural selves. You will soon Ret over the self -consciousness that is worrying you now. It is customarj for a girl to remain seated when introduced to a young man if -hc is seated alreadj. If she Is in troduced to an older man or to a clergy man, etc., she should rise out of respect to his age or cloth. "W. D. M."

To prevent breaking the stems make smnll holes In the sand with a pencil, place the stem in the hole and push tlio sand uii closely around It so that It will stay in place. If one will study the grouping of flowers nod leaves ns they grow in unture the same natural effect can easily be reproduced when the (lowers are put in the sand. Al ways include n few buds and some foliage. If the foliage belonging to n particular flower cannot be hnd use some other Rreen or ferns. Flowers ar ranged in sand will keep fresh nearly as long as when put in water provided the sand is constantly kept moist. In winter when flowers arc senrce a few flowers can be arranged to very good advantage by putting them in the earth in a pot of growing ferns. One or two nttrnctive (lowers ndded to the fern dish on the dining-room table will brighten up nn entire meal and give the nppearante of a much more clab ornte nnd pretentious centerpiece. Keep the ferns well watered and the flowers will stay fresh. If I should have that to suffer I would die. Every day I read yoiri column. I would like to contribute a little poem on kisses.

Write a Little Note Eighteen If the young man asked .vou to let him know when you returned from your vacation, why not write him a little letter saying that you arc at home once more and hope he will come in to see you some evening. That would be far better than telephoning. It Is not a good plan for girls to call young men up on the telephone; let the calls come from the men. Do Not Return Books Dear Cynthia As a constant read er of your column, I am coming to you for ndvice. I have known a young man for quite a while and we have been very, very good friends.

Ittcd him. I waited all of Hat- he did not come, neither did Sundav T met a friend of his and Bhe told me that she had seen him Saturday evening at a picnic. lie tola her that he was to have seen me that day, but rould not on account of be ing out of town. Do you not think that he could at least have called up, not making me wait all day? It is Monday afternoon uow and no call from him or nn apol ogy. Whnt nm I to do? Shall I re turn his books, for I consider It a ter rible insult nnd therefore do not care to keep books from a person who can play a trick like that on me? Will you please answer at your earliest convenience, as I will not tako any action without your advice? DISAITOINTBD. The young man certainly owes you an apology, If he had n definite engage ment with you and broko it. Do not tako any measures at nil, ray dear, ex cept to drop his acquaintance abso lutely unless he gives you a full nnd adequate explanation of his rudeness. There is nothing sentimental In the giv ing o books to a girl, and you would make a mistake to give t'.icm back to him. It would be putting more into tho friendship than has been in It. Later If you do not care to keep the books becnusr of his rudeness give them to a librnry, but do not return them to him; that would be childish and petty. What About Bouquet? Dear Cynthia Kindly advise mo If it is customary to carry a bouquet at an informal afternoon church wedding? Also if gloves should be worn. In making the announcement, If the bride's father Is dead, docs the mother use her name or still assume tho first name of tho father? F. M. II. It Is customary to carry n bouquet at an afternoon wedding unless the bride prefers to use a prayer book. If the wedding dfess is a traveling suit, n cor sage bouquet may be worn, Instead of the usual large white bouquet which Is carried. The bride usually wears gloves, but they are not essential to the bridal dres. The father's name should always be retained by the mother, no matter how long the father has been dead. It should bo used on the wedding announcements. The announcements should be sent out on the day of the wedding, not before. Invitations should be sent not later than two weeks before the wedding.

READER ASKS Puzzled Finds Them No Guarantee for Young Men at Summer Resort, but JFould It Be Better Without Them? A YOUNG woman reader writes to the - page decrying the system of intro ductions that prevent very desirable young persons from making each other's acquaintance. "Are Introductions," asks "Puz zled," "a guarantee that young men are Hie right sort? At summer resorts, for instance, I have been most properly In troduccd to certain boys who turned out to be anything but gentlemen. I am sure It would bo very hard for any of the nice strango young men I have seen nnd often wished I could speak to to be lew desirable than those I shook hands with in the most approved fashion."

It seems to me this condition ought to call for a stricter system In place of a looser one one, for instance, thnt would call for credentials in the pocket be fore a meeting could be effected. But of course that is absurd : but not any more absurd than to swing to the other extreme and loudly call for doing away with introductions altogether, t Don't you realize, "Puzzled," thnt the very fact that you have discovered undesirables among those you have met proves that the percentage among those you never have the opportunity to meet is just nbout the same?
