JL Use Heart-Shaped Cookie-Cutter for St. Valentine Party Pimento and Red Gelatin in Fancy Designs Can ' Produce Magic for Your Table By VIRGINIA ROSS Home Economics Editor NOT that 1 confine it to any one month oh dear no this business of entertaining. I love to nave roiKB about me people I like, of course, and who will forgive the hole burned in the tablecloth, and dinner late a few minutes. But when Feb ruary comes along Febru ary with all its gay red-letter days then do I rush to the telephone, dig Virginia Ross out my heart-shaped cookie cut , ters and observe every occasion possible. A lot of you will say it's so much foolishness, but I have always taken advantage of every opportunity to add a new note to our tables. Goodness knows, most of them lead, in even the very best of homes, a drab beef steak, gravy-and-mashed-potato exist ence. To say nothing of the rut which constant repetition Of the Daily Three has brought to the food-weary goddess of the hearth side. So when February dances into our calendar, you'll find me ob serving, even if it's just for home folks, the festive days it brings. Anyhow, the youngsters will be demanding a Valentine party, bo why not deliberately introduce it into our meal planning. PLENTY OF COLOR IT needn't cost much money. Given a can of pimento, a pack age of red gelatin, and a heart shaped cutter, you'll be surprised at the magic you can produce. The pimento gives life and verve to creamed dishes leftovers, U you please. Served up in :heart shaped bread cases, crispy bronzed from the oven or deep fat-frying kettle who, I ask you, could refuse yesterday's fowl, or the obliging canned tuna? Add it to the sauces for your white vegetables, cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes. Use it in your salads. Cut it in fancy little de signs, hearts predominating, to use as a garnish for sandwiches FOR VITAMINS A cup of chocolate has as. much energy value as three eggs, or four slices of cooked bacon. It boasts Vitamins A, C and G. It's rich in body-building protein in life-protecting, life-prolonging cal cium. And it has just enough fat to be easily digested.

It "keeps," by the way, if you pour a bit of salad oil over what's left, and place it in your refrigerator. The red gelatins, as you well know, offer all manner of salad and dessert possibilities, alone, whipped or In combination with fruits, and even vegetables, though most of us prefer the plain gelatin for the vegetable mold. Don't you remember how beautifully it mirrors the white and red of cabbage, pimento and celery that old alliance we call Perfection Salad? HAVE A HEART AND heart-shaped cutters. They cost so little and mean so much. Sandwiches, appetizers, soup accompaniments of brea.d, any of these take on a new charm when given a new shape. And I like to bake my little old "plain cake" in a shallow pan, cut it in heart shapes, when cool, and frost 'em over for partners to desserts. The squares left from the cutting may be used by filling the holes with a whipped-cream gelatin dessert, or some such. Oookies and little tarts are de licious, to say nothing about the allure they possess. Don't you re member the heart-shaped cookie tarts of your kid days, with the currant jelly filling, and the sug ary top? And, backing up a bit, there are heart biscuits (I like to make them, using tomato juice instead of milk as the liquid, and stirring some grated American cheese into the dry mix). And biscuit dough hearts atop the meat pie. Once you're started you'll be finding all manner of ways of adding the charm of the season to your tables, company or no. (Though I do think most of us are vain enough to like an au dience for our works of art!) You'll find it bringing a lilt to the spirit, that you though could only exist in those long-gone years of your youth! ... A can of pimento, even paprika, a pack age of red gelatin, and a heart shaped cutter! Whether or not you top this pie with hearts, you'll be "the tops" in your King of Heart's eyes. It's one of those perennially good dishes, and an all-in-one. . . . Something Truly Good Is Tuna Fish Pie POUR Into a small saucepan the oil from 1 medium or large can of tuna. Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion; cook slowly five minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour and blend well. Add 2 cups of milk and cook until thick, stir ring all the time. Carefully stir in: 2 cup diced cooked potatoes 2 cup diced cooked carrots iit enp diced cooked celery Cooked or canned peas, if do sired The flaked tuna $ hard-cooked egys, chopped A bit of parsley Turn into a baking dish, cover with biscuit rounds or hearts. Or roll the biscuit dough as for jelly roll, after first spreading with melted butter, then cut in 34 -inch slices. Bake in a hot oven, 450 degrees. 15 or 20 minutes, or un til biscuits are browned and cooked through. This is excellent if cream of mushroom soup Is used instead of milk. Serve with a fruit salad, and not much else, or a salad of mixed greens, and a simple fruit or custard dessert. This may be made up in the morning, all but the biscuit top ping, stored away and bakjd when desired.

FASHION TIPS :By MISCHA: Authority on Women's Attire THE importance of certain fun damental dress principles can not be too strongly stressed if a woman would appear at her best. It is not a matter of how much money you sperid, but how much care you exercise in your dress ing. I am making a few important suggestions for the women who desire to be well and smartly attired. They may be followed from week to week and in the course of a little time each reader will become an authority on dress. SCIENCE OF CLOTHES Every person is a distinct color type. The color category into which a woman belongs is deter mined by the color of either her hair, eyes or skin. It is her first task to decide which of these three features imparts the strong est color appeal. In the majority of cases it is either the hair or the eyes. Occasionally it is the skin which possesses the most outstanding characteristics. In any event, when the color note has been decided upon, the woman is ready to go ahead and plan her dress needs. PERSONALITY The costume should never be allowed to overshadow the wearer. . In other words, a woman's clothes must never be more forceful than her personality. The key to her personality lies in the woman's face. For this reason it is to the face that the attention should be turned. The costume is pleasing not for itself alone, Its main pur pose being to enhance the attrac tiveness of the wearer. It should be remembered at all times that clothes are a background, and not the main attraction. A cos tume is planned to accent the face. The completed picture is composed of the costume plus the wearer. COLOR BALANCE Color plays a dual role in the realm of women's attire. It can either be an aid in brightening the appearance or a medium through which balance is at tained. Every woman has at least one quality, which, if properly studied and developed, will be come the foundation of her whole plan by which she may capture charm and beauty for herself. COLOR EFFECT ON THE FACE Clever manipulation of color is a most successful medium to em ploy in playing up to one's best quality. It may be the eyes which have the greatest appeal. This being the case, the intelligent woman will dress in a manner aimed to make the most of their unusual glints. Never attempt to make the eyes appear a different shade by wearing colors in direct contrast to their actual hue. Tonal blending of hues, rather than harsh, discordant notes. Is indicative of a cultured color taste. PROPER COLORS FOR BLONDES The blonde Is always at hoi best in black. Blues, greens and violets contrast with the hair and increase its golden color. If not too Intense for her delicate skin and hair coloring, red, orange and yellow will harmonize with the eyes and lend warmth to the skin. Cool blue-green is also a very be coming shade for this type. She will do well to avoid dead white, pastel tones and warm brown MANY a boy has been Inspired to pattern his own life work after the career of someone he has read about and admired. It was just so with a little Italian hoy who lived In Florence many years ago. Amerigo was the boy's name, and he loved reading about the Journeys of Marco Polo much more than he cared about study ing mathematics. (His father wanted him to be an accountant.) Amerigo grew to manhood, and had to help support his father's large family . . . natur ally he had no time to make voyages for the thrill of adven ture. However, he DREAMED about them, and in the home of Berandl (the map-maker who helped Columbus prepare for his second Joumey in 1493), he met and talked to Christopher. Berandl died, just when he was ready to get another fleet on lta way. So Amerigo took over the job. He mads four voyages to the Western world. Here Is a strange thing; a year j after Columbus died, a German I geography teacher wrote "An ONE OF THE FAMOUS , . - ' I m w I - 1 m m ' . ; ' "pi.it Stunning lines and scarf contrast this tailored suit with four button jacket and novelty collar. It is a new creation for the early spring and would be excellent made of Blege tweed. RECIPE OF x NEW RECIPE FOR WELSH RAREBIT (Clip and paste in your collection of favorite recipes.)

LUCK OF THE ROLL AND CO By Ruth and Latrobe Carroll Born on the high seas of a seafaring cat family, no kitten could be contented as a "precious Introduction to a Description of the World." This article -was written in Latin, and much of it was suggested by letters written by Amerigo about his travels to the land Columbus had discov ered before him. But the German geography teacher credited Amerigo in this way, "Tho Fourth part of the world having been discovered by Americo Vespucci, It may be called Amcrlgc; that is, the land of Americus, or America." Almost all of Europe read l.atin In those days, and so the name given to this continent by a German teacher, has stayed with it ever since. Doesn't It seem It should have been called after Christopher Columbus ... the first great sailor of them all 7 Some people blame Vespucci because his name was given to a continent he did not discover. But that ia unfair, too. WhrQ Columbus died, he believed to the last that he had found a new passage to the Indies. But Amerigo Vespucci knew that what Columbus had found was A NEW CONTINENT. MISCHA CREATIONS -g. THE WEEK kitten" or even living ashore. So one foggy night this sea-going kllten found himself aboard ship. The ship took him to the SOUTH POLE, of all places for a kitten. He was christened Luck by the sailors and he was their mascot. Life now was filled with adven tures. He saw whales and he made friends with a husky dog.

When she arrived at the lonely little station late in the efCHiHf, there was no one there to meet her. 8he slept all night on the station platform, and at dawn her two roiuviti.t, Tim and Ron, etime riding up to take her to the ranch. On the ride back the boys explained that they could not have come for her earlier be vtiuse cattle thieves had stolen two of their saddle horses, and wounded her Uncle. CHAPTER S. WHILE tho boys and Beth moved down the road, Ron, the talkative one, kept up a lively flow of conversation. "Gee, it was tough about the saddle horses. They were good ones, too," he said to no one in particular. "Well," Tim replied, "It was your fault. Dad told you to put 'em in their stalls." "Aw, I was goln' to, but I wanted to finish readln' that air plane story in the Carson City paper." Beth did not enter the conver sation, but she was an Interested listener. She loved the horseback ride through the early morning . , . the great distances, so unlike the crowded city of her home. She thought, too, about the lost horses and the desperate men who had shot her Uncle. She had never seen him, but her mother had often spoken of his kindliness, and his brave Wostern ways. The boys argued and re-lived the happenings of the night be fore, while the horses walked side by side through the yellow dust. In an hour, the ranch house, low and rambling, came into view. Ron pointed. "There's the ranch, and I'm hungry as a coyote." "Well, that won't do you any good, unless you feel like, cook ing," said Tim. Then he explained to Beth, "You see Mom ia over at the Woods' Ranch, helping to take care of the old Grandma. She's sick. That's why we couldn't go for you last night. There wouldn't a been anybody to stay with Dad." "YA," Ron added. "I went for the doctor. He lives a heck of a long way off, and I sure laid the leather on that horse I rode." "That's right, Ron," Tim smiled. "You toll her what a great guy you arc." Ron looked a little embarrassed, but not at all dampened in spirit. Beth thought them both very en tertaining. And she was begin ning to feel that living on a Ne vada ranch with two boys who could ride miles in the night for a doctor ... an uncle who bravely tried to defend his property against cattle thieves . . . and an aunt who went miles to help a neighbor in time of illness, was not going to be a dull life at all. When they arrived at the ranch house, tho boys helped her down from the horse and untied her bundles. Two sheep dogs came out to the fence with friendly wags. Inside the darkened room across the front of the house Beth saw a big man lying on an old brown leather couch. She walked slowly over to him. The man opened his eyes and smiled. He sat up and took her hand In his. "Well, well, Betty's little girl Beth. I'm sure happy to have you here, honey. My, you're right thin, so I see. That's 'cause you've lived too long In the city. We'll fatten you up in no time." "I hope you're feeling better, Uncle Walter," Beth said. She felt THE HEN AND THE LOCUST When a hen lays eggs she stays right with them until the chicks are ready to hatch, that Is, most hens do. RUT the Italian Iocuat Is not that kind of a mother. She lays her eggs on the sand, then scampers away and leaves them with. Mil so much as a backward glance. CLASSIFIED FILMS DEVELOPED ilmi i.vrl"t(l. 2V. mm. Two A1.

Her uncle turned to the two boys grinning in the doorway. "Well, you're a fine pair of gents. Don't stand there like a couple of wall-eyed yearlings . . . get the young laily some lunch.'Why, she hasn't even had any breakfast." As the boys slipped out, he turned back to Beth. "I'm all right, honey. It was just a ping in tho shoulder flesh. I bet those young Indians of mine have given you a scare about the wlldncss of this country." "No, Uncle Walter," Both smiled. "I'm not afraid, but I am sorry about the lost horses, and about you being hurt." "Well, those things happen sometimes in this country, and I'm not takin' it with a grin. No, sir, I'm planntn' to hunt down that gang , , . hog-tie 'em and lead 'cm right to the sheriff." "Did you get to see who they were, Uncle Walter?" Beth asked, as she curled up on the foot of the couch. "No, honey, I didn't get a real good look because it was too dark. 1 been thinkin' about 'em all morn ing and it may be a gang gotten together by a Mexican named Juan. He worked for me once as a cow-hand, but he was lazy, and I fired him. Still, it may be some body else. I don't know for sure." Just then a loud crash of tin ware and crockery boomed above the conversation. The crash was followed by the raised voices of Ron and Tim in heated argument. Then Ron rushed across the house and stuck his head In the door. His face and hands were white with flour. Beth laughed aloud with delight. "Dad," he shouted, "Tim upset the . biscuit dough I was niakln', and it flew all over the kitchen floor. Make him get out while I fix this meal." Uncle Walter looked at Beth with an expression of mock de spair. She rose and laid aside her hat and coat. She smiled down at the man on the couch. "I guess I'd better take charge of the kitchen until Aunt Mary comes home." A broad grin spread through the flour on Ron's face. "Well," he said, "that's what I call a thought." Then he shouted toward the kitchen, "Make way, Tln-Pan Timothy . . , here comes the new cook!" (Continued next week) Don't be BALD! Don't give up!
