I Comparison Of
Children Is
Very Unfair
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
I did something today I regret
terribly. The eyes can be such trai
tors, and we do things before we
Vnow It. A glance can wound, and
f know mine did.
T^ .'mall girls came Into the ho
tel dining room with their mother.
I had seen them before and stop
ped to talk to them. Both were
friendly, but the dark one had star
points In her eyes and was alto
gether charming.
In their little plaid dresses and
great red hats at luncheon they
were pictures, the one pale and pi
quant. the other fair and rounded
Both pretty, but the little blonde had
a way of catching the eye first. I
don't know why, but one semes In
stantly, when one understands
children, but the oldest one was sup
posed to be the beauty of the fam
ily, the one with the sunny hair.
looked over and grinned. Llt
fPk inette facing me, smiled back,
a lovely look on her face that said
as plainly as If she had spoken,
"Wert friends, aren't we?"
Glance That Hurt
Then I behaved badly. Quite In
voluntarily my eyes turned to the
other. She was busy fixing her hat.
Back to the other, then, like a flash,
but it was too late. She had turned,
sideways, and looked pensively at
the floor. It Is hard to describe this
small drama that only took a few
seconds. Some faces, especially
those of children, write a whole story
in an instant.
The story Is that these two sisters,
so nearly of an age, have probably
been compared all their lives. The
dark one. with her spiritual beauty,
flu become accustomed to people
.uming from her to her sister. I
iad done It, too. It was not for the
■eason she thought, but there It was
She Is far the prettier to me. but
all her life she will have an Inferi
ority about her looks — if I know
my signs
I hope her mother tells her how
lovely she Is. and that she has some
thing besides beauty, too — charm
and personality. If I see her again,
and I hope I will. I shall make up for
tny error.
Comparisons Are Cnfalr
\ Nothing is so fearful for any child,
boy or girl, as to live day by day
In a losing game with a smarter or
J^mdjpmer sister or brother. Com
are odious, but in such a
Fefifc. particularly so. To sav. ‘ Jim
gets such good marks. Billy” or
/•Mary, it’s so much harder to make
you look nice than Jane," is defeat
pure and simple.
f You may say that we live In a
world where people are continually
outshining us and we have to ac
cept it. Yes, that’s true, but it j
never cuts so deeply as it does in a j
family. Children, once convinced
they are second-raters, stay convinc- 1
ed. There are many who never
headed the class or who never won
a game Just because they thought
they couldn't.
Let a mother's eyes not shine too
brightly on the family star, or too |
dully on the family failure. The <
reverse may bring forth surprising !
Clnderellas or beautifully matured |
ducklings. Who can tell? Or a
tgenius like Hans Andersen, who was
Hhe town dullard until he was grown.
SPRINGTIME TARTS

Slice the bananas and arrange in

New Wooden Dishes
You can now buy very attractive
I <Jg|plen dishes for the summer cot

with some of the pieces of the set

LOOSELY SPEAKING, SPORTS FROCKS HAVE ROOM FOR
EVERYTHING BUT CRITICISM
C**9 oyj t'ARKer^
Even the dub can tell you that the
one requisite of golf togs is freedom
of the arms. You can swing a win
ning club in a frock that pulls across
the shoulders or has tight armholes.
Bodice pleats or shirring and
short roomy sleeves are the impor
tant factors of the frocks shown
in the sketch. All three come high
ly recommended by a famous wom
an golfer.
At the left slenderizing panels are
used at both front and back of this
dress. The back panel forms in
verted pleats above the waistyne
The tailored, turn-back collar and
the short sleeves with wide arm
holes are comfortable. .
The frock in the center has a
shirred back below the round neck
yoke. It button* down the front1
from neck to hem, making it simple
to launder. The roomy pockets and
kimona sleeves add practicality.
At the right, a gored skirt and a
shirred bodice give the golfer room
for both arm and knee action,
f iuare buttons fasten the neckline
and pocket tabe. The short sleeves
are slightly flared. — Qladys Parker.
FLUFFY MASHED POTATOES
There is one big essential to mak
ing the kind of fluffy, creamy
smooth mashed potatoes that you
seldom get in any restaurant and
in all too few homes. This essenti
al Is plenty of arm power. Drain
and mash your hot boiled potatoes
until you have worked out all the
lumps, add plenty of butter and
scalded milk or cream. Then beat
and beat until light.
NEW POTATO REC IPE
Try serving boiled new potatoes
with the fat and sediment left after
broiling pork chops or pork sausages.
Use this Instead of butter. Simply
add the fat. cover the pan. set over
the burner for a minute longer, then
serve Immediately.
USE FOR WOODEN FORK
Have you ever tried using a wood
en salad fork for stirring or beating
your partly frozen dessert In your
mechanical ice box? You will also
like this fork to put together vege
tables and cream sauces because It
handles them tenderly.
CHICKEN AND RICE LOAF
2 cups cooked rice, 1H cupe diced
chicken. 1 cup peas. 2 eggs, l* cup
milk, salt and pepper.
Combine thoroughly the rice,
chicken and peas Beat eggs, add
milk and seasonings Pour over mix
ture and blend thoroughly. Put
into buttered pan of water and bake
in a moderately hot oven i375 de
grees F> until egg mixture Is set
6 servings. Garnish with sliced j
hard-cooked eggs if you wish to
carry out the color scheme.
Important Trifles
Thicken the liquid of a can of!
peas with an egg for variety in the
service, and an unusual flavor.

Good Sport
Is Sometimes
Imposed On
By VIRGINIA LEE
"DEAR VIRGINIA: Apropos of
'food sports,' let me tell you what
happens to them, and ask if it is
any wonder I have come to the con
clusion that they are fools.
*T never said a crass word to my
husband for the 30 years we have
been married. Our home was ell
peace, cheer and relaxation. I nev
er once questioned where he went
or how long he stayed. When he
had worries he brought them to me,
wept a little and went off happy.
When he found It hard to support
the family I went to work, and In
addition to my Job, kept the house
clean, comfortable and happy. This
Is the result: He has not worked for
four years. He mortgaged the car
without my knowledge. He took
money from me to pay Insurance
premiums and let the insurance
laps*. He ran up bills everywhere,
and at Christmas bought expensive
presents for everyone except myself.
“My children are brilliant and
successful, but with never a thought
for me. I am as the air they
breathe and the ground they tread
—Just there, sure and essential, but
unnoticed. My husband says he
loves and admires me more than
all the world, but he likes to go and
have fun. and I have always been
too busy to go with him, so he went
with others on my money without
realizing how badly he was treating
me. I was always so kind and cheery
he didn't think about me needing
anything. My children are the
same. This is the result of being a
good sport. How do you like it?
SPORT."
Your case Is Just exactly what I
was thinking of when I wrote the
other day of the good sport often
thinking she didn't like her role for
other people were quite likely to let
all the burdens and responsibilities
fall upon her shoulders while they
went scot free. That does happen
sometimes.
And just as there is such a thing
as "righteous anger” and patience
ceasing to be a virtue." so there Is s
time when a good sport should sit
down and say to those with whom
she lives, “Now I've done my part
Suppose you do yours. I’m perfect
ly willing to be a good sport. Sup
pose the rest of you show that you
are too."
If your husband can work and
earn money—has the health, oppor
tunity and ability to do so, let him
do It, and refuse to keep him. And
as to the children, maybe a vaca
tion away from home—a real play
time for you—would wake them up
to realize how much you mean to
them. Continue to be a good sport
my dear, but don’t be a foolish good
sport. Olve them their chance.
FACTS AND F%NCIFS
Freshen Rolls
Brush over the top of yesterday's
rolls with fresh milk and put in *
covered pan in the oven to steam
through. After they are heated, re- |
move t’|' rover so the crust will
crisp up again. They will bs like
newly baked.

Equal parte of ammonia and *pir-!
its of turpentine will take paint out
of clothing. Saturate the spots three
or four times, then wash in warm

Watermelon lee
Remove seeds from watermelon
and force the pulp through the

You will need four cups. Set aside
a minute. Drain off one cup of the
juice, add one cup sugar and heat

Let stand In a cold place about one
hour. Turn into the ice drawer
of the mechanical refrigerator and
freeze to a mush. Remove to a well
chilled bowl, beat with a rotary beat
er until very light. Return to the
refrigerator to freese. This will not
make a perfectly smooth ice, but it
will be delightfully refreshing.

MEAT, SALAD OR PIE —
REFRIGERATOR SUBS FOR STOVE
Looking as luscious as a baked pit. the refrigerator version of pine
apple pie is a real delight.
By MARY E. DAGUE
NEA Service Staff Writer
My grandmothers would have been
horrified by the Idea of '■baking” a
pie in a refrigerator, but that* the
way it’s often done these days, much
to the delight of everybody. Even
the crust may be the Ice-box kind,
made with graham cracker crumbs
and butter if we prefer It.
Practically the whole meal may
be “cooked" In the refrigerator. A
sandwich loaf also depends on the
Ice-box for the finishing touch.
There’s only one precaution to keep
in mind when making the filling
and that Is to chop or dice the ma
terials fine enough to permit the
finished loaf to cut evenly. Be sure,
too, to get a finegrained bread.
Family Sandwich Loaf
One loaf sandwich bread. 4 hard
cooked eggs. 1 sweet green pepper.
2 medium sized tomatoes. 1 large
box sardines, H cup diced oelery,
% oound cream cheese, mayonnaise,
butter.
Trim crusts from bread and cut in
four lengthwise slices. Cream but
ter and spread two siloes on both
sides and two slices on one side only
Remove seeds from pepper and
mince. Chop egg* Combine eggs
and pepper and add enough mayon
naise to make just moist enough to
stick together.
Peel and slice tomatoes Remove ,
skin and bones from sardines and
chop fine. Sprinkle with lemon Juloe
end add celery.
Put a slice of bread buttered on 1
one side on a sheet of oiled paper;
buttered side up. Spread with1
sardine mixture. Cover with slice
of bread buttered on both sides. Ar
range tomato slice* on bread and
spread with mayonnaise Cover with
mixture. Cover with bread, butter
both sides and add egg and pepper
mix ture. Cover with bread, butter
ed side down. Bring oiled paper
up over loaf and wrap neatly and
firmly. But a small board — I use
a small cutting board — on top of
loaf, weight lightly and put in re
frigerator for an hour or longer.
Beat cream cheese with enough
cream to spread easily. Spread over
top. sides and ends of loaf. Oaraish
with sliced olives when ready to
serve. Let the loaf stand in the Ice
box for several hours to chill and al- i
low the cheese to become firm. Cut
in inch slices to serve.
Pineapple Pie
One baked nine-inch pie shell. 1
package lemon flavored gelatin. 2
tablespoons sugar. *4 teaspoon salt.
1 cup boiling water, 2 egg yolks, 1
cup pineapple Juice, IS cup finely
shredded pineapple, S cup whip
ping cream, 2 tablespoons powder
ed sugar, few drops vanilla.
Combine gelatin, sugar, salt and
2 tablespoons water. Add egg yolks
and stir well. Add remaining water
gradually, stirring vigorously until
gelatin is diaasolved Add pineapple
juice which has been scalded with
the pineapple and drained. Let
stand until cool and beginning to
thicken. Fold in pineapple and
turn into a cold baked pie shell. Chill
until firm and cover with cream
whipped until thick and sweetened
and flavored with vanilla.
New Shampoo
Is Benefit To
Blondes
By ALICIA BART
NEA Service Staff Writer
There s a new shampoo combina
tion that should be useful to all
light haired women and especially
mothers who want small blood#
daughters to stay blonde. It is easy
to make and use right at home. Com
posed of Inexpensive ingredients, it
has no drying effects on the scalp
and certainly does a good deal to
keep golden locks from turning
brown
Simply put the yotk of one egg,
one tablespoon of olive oil and
the Juice of a lemon Into a bowl.
Mix them thoroughly with an egg
beat'r. Then after you have brush
ed hair and scalp for at least five
minutes to remove loose dirt and
flakes of dry skin, apply the egg and
lemon mixture.
Parting the hair into small sec
tions, rub It on the scalp and an
over the hair. Massage It In with
fingertips When It begins to feel
sticky on your fingers, stop msssag
ing and rlnce carefully for several
minutes with lukewarm water. Then
with hot water.
Don't use hot water at first a#
this will cook the egg Keep rins
ing until your hair squeaks when
you run our hands through It. Then
rinse again with lukewarm water
to which has been added the Juke of
one and onehalf large lemons, and,
finally with clear water. Dry In the
sunshine.
Of course. If you are one who In
sists upon liquid soap with each
.shampoo, lather it on after the lem
on preparation has been applied and
rinsed out. Rinse In the usual man
ner. Using soap afterward doesn't
lessen the good effect of the lemon,
oil and egg. but It Isn't necessary.
Remember that the pre-shampoo
brushing, careful rinsing and slow
drying In the sunshine are just aa
important to healthy hair as the
type of liquid shampoo you use. Us#
a hair brush with flexible bristle#
that do not scratch the scalp but
whkh are firm enough to remov#
dandruff and dry skin.
