THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. APRIL 2. 1921. r . Beginning the 'Home By LORETTO C. LYNCH. Encouraging it is to find so many aning and courageous folk starting ittle homes. The average letter ays: "We are only beginning. We vant the best for the money. How ihall we begin?" 1 suggest drawing to a definite icale a plan of each room. Let one iourth inch equal a foot. Indicate ioors and windows. This means :hat you shouW have some home in mind before you buy any furniture, generally speaking. It has usually proven unsatisfactory to buy furni Uire and then look for a place to fit t into. Three rooms are sufficient for the ivcrage beginner. These may con sist of a combination living-dining room, a bedroom and a kitchen. The athroom is usually not counted as a .wm. If the living room is sunshiny, se ed wicker or willow furniture. A'hite woodwork and walls finished rt'ith a pale green lusterless paint or t creamy yellow tint would be ideal. A'illow furniture in the natural is al ways in good taste and combines, seautifully with most any other fur nishings. A two-toned brown rug is appropriate or I green may be se eded. A deep, roomy armchair and a red chair, known as the hour-glass, hould be among the pieces selected. couple of lighter weight straight , :hairs should be included. Instead of the usual settee, buy a box couch covered with green or brown denim, tccording to the color of the rug. , Since this is a combination living lining room, select a gate-leg table, mfinished or finished, in bird's eye maplc if the willow is of the natural color. This may be used as a din ing table and be folded and set aside when not in use. Cretonne must take its main note from the color of the rug. Suppose you move into a home of llits kind. Try to have the wood work made white. The walls must be light in color and if the room is small, have the walls of a plain color no design. A good effect is ob tained by making over mission fur niture to a decided yellow. Cre tonne of yellow? green, old rose and black combination was used for cushions. Plain rose silk was used for the lamp shade. Among the many don'ts, don't buy sets of anything unless you are pos itive you are getting exactly what you want. Buy a piece now and again. Study the advertisements of the reliable shops. Cheap furniture is expensive at any price. Home furnishing is a wonderfully fascin ating game. Go slowly. Artistic creations of permanent value were not made in a dav. And a trtilv ar tistic home is such a joy. Apricot Cobbler. . One egg, well beaten; 2-3 cup of sugar, I cup sifted flour; 1 tea spoon baking powder; 1-4 cup of milk; 1-2 teaspoon vanilla; 2 table- spoons melted butter; 1 cup Apri- cots (cooked).

Split open, spread with softened butter, cover each layer with cooked apricots. Serve with cream. - Apricot Pie. Soak apricots in warm water for two hours. Spread uniformly iiupic ;plaie lined with thin pie dough. Sprinkle with sugar and powdered cinnamon, Bake in medium over for half hour. Blanched Almonds Few things give a more satisfying : touch to a meal than crisply tooth some salted almonds, but one can not always be sure of their quality and freshness! when one buys them already prepared. Too much salt or r.ot enough, or too much or not enough cooking, will so mar the fla vor of almonds that they fail to give that pleasing relish which is expect ed of them. The most satisfactory plan is to blanch and salt them at home. - . The thin-skinned almonds have larger kernels and will usually be preferable, though smaller and smoother ones are often of excellent flavor. When the shells have been removed the nuts should be placed over the heat itLrold water and al lowed to come rather slowly to a toil. Then they are to be drained through a colander until all the hot water has - dripped through. The colander containing them should then be placed for a moment in cold water, and it will be found easy to remove the brown skins. Some pre fer, rubbing the nuts between two coarse cloths to loosen the skins. When the blanched almonds are thoroughly dry they need a scant touch of olive oil, which can be given them by "painting" the inside of a bowl with olive oil -and shak'ing the nuts in the covered bowl until all of , them have come in contact with the oil They are then ready to spread . in a large pan and put over the heat. Whether browned above the fire in side the oven, constant care is neces sary to get them an even brown, and a continual stirring should be kept up. Before they cool fine salt should be sifted over them, using about a, tablespoonful of salt to a cupful of 'almonds. ' The women pearl rishcrs of Japan commiwce their work at the age i 14. - Visitors 0 m$&iJhm&i& J I'rof. and Mrs. J. G. Mason and son John Charles, of Lincoln, who have bfcrt guests in Omaha this week, departed Friday for their home. Many social affairs have been given in their honor. Mrs. Mason was Miss Florence Malone before her Beautiful By ANTOINETTE DONNELLY. A group of adorable young things were gathered in front of marble washbowls in the rejuvenating parlor, less elegantly called the washroom, of a smart club, dabbing powder on noses retrousse, noses straight, and noses just noses. "Wasn't Marie perfectly adorable last night in that ciel gown," piped up the second from the end between lip stick applications. "O, just darling!" squeezed the next door neighbor right through the invisible hairpins in her mouth. "Isn't she the dearest, sweetest thing on earth and the prettiest I" "Where do you get that mode of speech?" came from the other end of the lttfe, as the speaker carelessly slithered the rouge puff across a pale cheekbone. "I don't think she's pretty. I've been to a dozen parties with her this winter and I've yet to see Marie's nails clean at one of them. And that's one thing I can not stand. Hands at the Card Table. But that's what a pair of soiled hands can do when introduced i.uo a nerfectlv nice Catherine. r 's kin, but of an older generation. "We have met once a week since last November, and I give you my word of honor there has not been one smgle session that Mrs. J. hasn't of fered a pair of dirty hands with her ideal and an apology. lhe varied ex- manufactured' would be of etises Kreat help to erring mates it they were compiled for publication. The laughable part is that woman has never lifted a broom or a dustrag this last season. "But we're all queer in spots," she added laughingly. "I do keep my nails nice, but I never can show my gloves, it ecms. They are either torn or soiled of have a button miss ing or something. So there you are." A Business Man's Test A business man with a hundred or more girls in his employ told me one time he judged an applicant by the condition of her nails more than by any other physical feature. "When I see a pair of unkempt hands," he said, "I see untidy copy, an untidy desk and a general slop piness about work." There is no doubt about it that soiled nails- and hands will create an impression of inefficiency. More than that, they provide it They destroy that surety and poise that a freshly manicured: pair of hands engender. But, as the patent medicine ads say, "One trial and you will be con vinced!" Clean Nails a Habit. After all, this clean nail problem is simply a habit. It is not a question of the time it takes, for the habit re duces that to a small item. Take the girls in stores, whose nails to me are an everlasting source of admira tion. They have to be on the job early in the morning and their con fining day does not permit of fre quent manicures at a beauty parlor.

Washington Market 1407 DOyGLAS STREET in Omaha marriage. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Malone of Hastings. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mason are gradu ates of the University of Nebraska where Mrs. Mason was a member of J A , t f .'A.. 1 ll-T Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Mr. Mason was a Kappa Sigma Hands care of themselves, with nails that are immaculate, while the poor cus tomer keeps her hands hidden to avoid comparison. Some 'of the big stores realize the selling value of perfectly kept hands, and include their care in a prepara tory course to which employes are subjected. , You can readib' see the disadvantage to a business house of a girl trying to sell a dainty chiffon, or a collar and cuff set, of even goods of heavier fabric, with dirty nails. She would prejudice the cus tomer. . Perhaps because it is our own sins we see in other persons that are hard est to forgive the very woman who has to keep her nails out of -sight while she makes the purchase is most unkind in her judgment of a sales girl under such circumstances. But the tables are turned quickly 'enough on the customer when she sells her company for an invitation to a luncheon and insults the hostess by bringing along a couple of black hands with her. Implements Every Girl Should Have. Whenyou think of the few little implements required a file, a cuticle scissors, an orangewood stick, and a buffer it would seem they ought to be on every girl's dresser and ought to be pressed into a few minute's service every day. If you run over them every day or night you can 'manage along beauti fully without a weekly inanicuft. In fact, I could produce at this moment a young woman who could prove to your entire satisfaction that even that visit may be dispensed with, for she has not had more than three n'anicurcs by a professional in her life and her nails are a- beauty asset which gains her admiration wherever she goes. Eeside the need for exquisite clean liness of nails, there is a feature of care in the hands that women neglect painfully. The skin on the face is treated to rejuvenation skin foods when the natural oils have departed. And have you not frequently seen the curious combination of extremely old skin on the hands and a most youth ful one of the facer Care for Skin of Hands Also. .The skin of ht hands needs care and attention to prolong its youth. Massage them nightly before you re tire. The loveliest pair of hands I ever saw belonged to a woman who did her own housework and who earned money at the Art institute, by posing her hands for sculptors and artists. A real flesh and blood per son she is. Naturally she is proud of her hands, and she gives them some time every day.. She keeps them soft and white with a mixture of equal parts of glycerin and cam phor, which she massages into them thoroughly at night. A little cold cream is quite good for massage purposes, although it takes a trifle longer to penetrate. But skin with a tendency to dryness must be given this care unless one wants to have an old pair of skins on their hands. Cleaning Lace To dry clean tatting or crochet soiled in the making, use equal parts of salt and corn meal, rubbing the soiled parts briskly with it.

In many of her new pictures you will notice this becoming decoration, which is both an accessory of dress and a charming jewel ornament. The beautifully designed slide is of platinum with a cluster of diamonds in oval motif. The black velvet band fastens at the back with a single bar of diamonds. Doubtless we can expect many variations of this now to be revived style. Sapphires will jewel the col larette worn with gowns of "Hard ing blue," while amethysts will be in great demand when the various shades of Mrs. Harding's beloved purple are chosen. Turquoise; too, will figure prominently, as the new first lady finds the light-toned green blue shades very becoming. For evening wear the collarette will doubtless take the form of five rows of pearls, barred at intervals with diamond slides. That her tastes are simple and all American is now well known. So we do not find Mrs. Harding wear ing a great quantity of jewels. Her favorite pieces, while handsome and costly, are chosen rather for their utility value, such as the" dainty bar pin which fastens her white collar, or for the sake of carrying out some color fancy, a gem matching her gown or harmonizing with some de tail of the trimming. Mrs. Harding is fond of finger nnes and brooches and twears a watch on her small, delicate wrist. As she is slender, not very tall and affects the straight, graceful type of gown, her neck chains are of me dium length, and her hair is per fectly dressed for one of the new pendant coif pins which are going to be so good this season. Tempting Dishes You know there is no easier way to destroy the pleasure of a well cooked viand than to have it offend the eve. This is also true when re versed. Many a. prepared food, otherwise unappealing, is accepted on .1 - T"l the merits of its appearance. There are certain restaurants where win dows are skillfully trimmed with tempting delicacies of the season that fail to meet the standards of the exacting diner, yet they flourish. A few minutes' decoration either in the preparation or the serving of food will make up for a plain fare, pro vided it is edible.
