If the marketman does it, he gives a sharp snap in the middle of the bean, and presto, there’s no sign of a string. If it s the housekeeper who knows her business, she very gently pulls off the tip end of the bean. That’s the infallible test, because whatever vestige of string there is will surely be exposed in this way. There are all sorts of reasons why we ought to eat plenty of string beans. They are classed as “greens" for one thing (and therefore almost as important as lettuce or spinach in the diet), but being of the bean family, they also have a certain pro tein value, and are, in their way, as nutritious as meat. As far as food value is concerned, it really doesn’t matter whether beans are stringless or not. Of course, the coarser the string, the older the bean, and the longer cook ing required. But the flavor and the nutritive value are excellent and by using the correct cooking meth 1 ds you can buy fresh string beans * -om the beginning of the season c hen they are small and quite 1 ingless. to the end when no ma tt ulation can disguise the presence . “he string. inKpere is a difference of opinion Mili' when you should string beans. worusual method is to wash the ^ „ cold water, cut off each tip. fs ; the string with it. Then ’h But several housekeepers »eQn that this takes more time, < doesn't always remove the string, than if the cutting or^’iterward. Therefore, if you px Y .’ash your string beans, put in c^ij»noueh boiling water to cov er, aJBF cock until tender, which may fake anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Then remove from the fire, drain into a bowl and set aside to cool for a few moments, after which you can pick up each bean and string it with ease, and the cer tainty that every bit of string will come off. Or, if you are willing to put in some extra work for the sake of delicate texture, you can ‘ French” the string beans. Wash the raw beans, trim off tips and string, then slit lengthwise. Thus prepared the beans cook more quickly to tender ness. and they are very delicate in texture, and have the shape of Ju lienne potatoes. But it is extra work preparing them that way. THE HOME KITCHEN * * * By ALICE LYNN BARRY String Beans in Cream 1 pound of string beans. 1-2 cup of cream, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon pepper. Cook the stringbeans in only enough water to cover, and test from time to time for tenderness. When ready, drain (and if you I have been careful about using very little water there should be practi cally no juice to discards Put the drained beans into a saucepan over a small fire. Add the cream and blend with a fork until heated through, then add salt and pepper, put in a hot bow! and serve at once. Pungent String Beans 1 pound of string beans, 1 pound of tomatoes, 1 onion. 1-2 lemon. 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon ginger. 1 tablespoon butter or bacon fat Melt the fat and add the sliced onion, then the tomatoes and when hot, add the .raw, washed beans. Cover and cook until tender, then add the grated lemon rind, lemon juice and other seasonings. The to matoes should be juicy enough to cook the string beans, but look at the saucepan occasionally and add water if it goes dry. If I Were } If I Were A Man— f A Girl— By JILL By JACK I WOULDN’T try out every girl’ I met to see how far she’d let me go. I wouldn’t start every new ac quaintance with the single, solitary purpose of get ting away with as much as I possibly could without being arrested. I wouldn’t make veiled remarks that could be in terpreted two ways if a girl felt so Inclined, and keep lightly touchnig her hand or her knee or her arm, as if by ac cident, to see whether or not she was >' going to object. Instead of depending on her to supply the Ideals and set the pace I was to follow, I’d have a few ideals . of my own. And I’d try to live up to them of my own accord instead of waiting until I’d been slapped in • (he face. A girl who doesn’t care has ways 9t letting a man know. Until she did. I’d give her the benefit of the doubt. A girl gets tired of demon * stratlng her decency all the time. She likes to have it taken for granted occasionally. WOULDN’T overdo the family act. I’d rely on my ©wn charms. Instead of bringing family pressure to bear. I’d wait until the boy friend ehowed he wanted to be one of the family, before I invited himi around to dinner to meet Aunt' Sophie, Uncle Dan and Cousin Hat-1 tie. ' | I wouldn’t drag him around to Aunt Mary’s for Sunday dinner, or suggest on the way home from the movies that we drop in and call on Uncle Jim. When he came to see me, I wouldn’t call In papa and mama to help me entertain him. No man wants to be clutched to the bosom of a girl’a family, until he's good and ready, and. if he has any sense, he’s going to take to his heels and make a permanent de parture when he finds himself be ing roped into matrimony b y that old ruse. After all, girls ought to remem ber that when a man’s intentions are matrimonial, he doesn’t need any family pressure to bring him to tha point.

MARKET HEPS I TAX RETURN,] $80,000,000 Increase March a Year Ago Re- pjg ported By Treasury fa WASHINGTON, April 2.—!.-P -* The rising stock markets of 192 VI which caused the federal reservS® board a great deal of concern, a*I credited by the treasury departmerjM with an unexpected increase of $80 000.0C0 in March income tax returdBI over the same period last year.
