+ | PAGE SIX 2 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAKCH 15, 1929 | Women | .-, For Anything It is a problem for mothers of heal- th children who live in apartment to know what to do with them so that they may be amused and at the same time will not make such a racket that the proprietor will receive innumer- able complaints from the other ten- ants. If the apartment house is in the heart of the city and there is no garden at the back it is dangerous to allow the children to play out-of- doors for then they will, inevitably, play on the road. Risking their lives with every game and making driving dangerous. : The surest way to keep small chil- dren quiet is to engage their minds as well as their fingers, and there are constructive toys and games to be bought for all ages. A cheap passc artout outfit will amuse and instruct Poth girls and boys for quite a long time. Half a dozen snapshots taken on the last holiday or a few post- cards will serve the purpose, and if a small prize is offered for the best effort and the winning picture hung upon the wall as a reward, competi- tion will be keen, ee The making of paper flowers is in- variably a favorite Pastime with chil- dren, particularly if they are helped by being given an outfit which con- tains shaped petals, stamens, centres, ete, They maye be purchased for all .the familiar hind, such as dahlia, marguerite, carnation and many oth- ers. For smaller children an even simpler flower making outfit may be had, The sets comprise all the com- mon flowers, the petals being of thin painted shavings of wood. These are inserted in a centre cork provided with holes. Each flower with its parts is put up separately in an envelope, with a picture of the blossom outside, so that the pastime is suitable for children of three years and upward, A box of paper dolls, together with paper materials, ready printed for cutting out and folding into clothes always pleases the little girl. These outfits include trimmings, such as pa- per lace, rosettes and a great many The Women's Corner of Interest to 3 the Homemaker and the Housekeeper others that go to make up the dolly's wardrobe. These may be purchased for a comparatively small sum, This is not only a pleasant pastime but develops in the child at an early age a talent for combining shades which will blend with each other, In later years this will 'be helpful to the girl. It would seem to be rather in the nature of an anti-climax to suggest bubble-blowing as an entertainment but old pastime that it is, it never fails to please at intervales. All the toy departments of the stores stock special outfits that will blow unburst- ing bubbles of great size. But failing a spelial outfit, an ordinary soap solu- tion may be made at home which will blow bubbles that last for several minutes before breaking. Make it this way. Shave a small knob of soap in- to a pint of warm water, When dis- solved add a dessertspoonful of gum arabic. Let that melt and then add a teaspoonful of glycerine, Finally add one and a half pints df cold water. Let each child have a separate basin and pipe, and if the children are old enough to be relied upon not to swal- low the mixture, add a pinch or two of a 'cold water dye. To entertain the boy the construc. tion sets are always entertaining, They may be purchased in steel and there are innumerable things which may be made with these bars of steel, wheels and screws, which are fur- nished. These are, of course, not par- ticularly inexpensive, but if there are more than one hoy in the family it would be a wise investment and help- ful to give as a Christmas or birthday present, These sets last for a long time and may be handed down from one son to the other. For the young- er boy a building set may be bought which is made of wood, These are more inexpensive and are almost as entertaining. These are not as in- structive to the boy but are better for the young tot who does not un- derstand the difficulties of engineer- ing. : Helpful Hints for Harassed Housewives 'When putting on rufties, lace or anything else you want eased onto a dress, always hold the thing you want eased toward you, Otherwise it will pucker. \S - BANANA CRUSH One cup diced marshmallows, one cup diced bananas, two egg whites, one teaspoon vanilla, 1-2 teaspoon lemon extract, 1-3 cup crushed pineapple, masu wvanan- as, add sugar and egg whites, Mix well, add rest of ingredients, Chill, Serve in glass dishes with plain or whipped cream, You are cordially invited to be present at the" .

CANADIAN SERVICE $900 Qabin, Tourist Third Cabin and Third Class DATE HASH Any kind of porous baker's cake can be used for date hash. Break cake into small pieces and add, if it is a small cake 1-2 teaspoonful ground nutmeg, and 1-2 teaspoon- ful allspice. Cut 1-2 pound dates in~ to small pieces and stir into the broken cake, Next blend in 1-2 pint of sweetened whipped cream, If the hash is to be used at noon, make it early in the morning, if at night make it at noon, so that the cake absorbs all the cream. Serve with either grape-juice or pineapple sauce, A half pint of either grape or pineapple juice makes enough sauce for a small cake. To the juice add 3-4 cup hoiling water, in- to which has been stirred one table- spoonful cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the juice of one lemon, Serve cold. Date hash is good ser- ved with plain cream or top milk, but the fruit sauce gives it an added zest, in 'the Home the STAMFSE TWIN Announced Engagement to Carlos Daniel Jesefe Gibbg girls, Siamese twins, an- nounced that she is to be married in a few days. Her sister says that she is happy, too, although she has never had a boy friend for herself. Margaret Stratton Gibbg is the twin contemplating marriage. Her prospective husband is Carlos Dan- iel Josefe, 21, of Mexico City. They received a marriage license at the Newark City Clerk's office. Mary, the other twin, was an Interested spectator to the issuance of the lic- ense, The girls, who are eighteen, live at the Manhattan Square Hotel and Josefe lives here at 1144 West Seventy-third street. It was in New Orleans that Jos- efe first saw Margaret while the twing were playing at a theatre there, he said. He met them, fell in love with Margaret and after they left New Orleans, correspond- ed with her. The presence of Mary at all of their meetings did not de- ter his love making and they be- came engaged after all had come to New York. Whether he will take his wife and her sister to Mexico after the wedding, the young man did not say, He said he was secretary for his father, manager of the Ford Motor Company of Mexico, After marriage was determined upon, sald Josefe, it was decided that the twins were to be separted by an operation, After some time in a hospital this was held not to be feasible, due to Mary's ill healtn. Mary does not seem to mind, ; "I'm happy at my sister's mare riage,' she said at the license bur- eau. "I never had any boy friend of my own, but I think she 1s lucky." The twins were accompanied to the clerk's office by their parents, Mr. and Mrs, John R, Gibbs, of Holyoke, Mass., and by William F, Phillips, manager of Loew's The- atre, Newark. Another variation is to use three tablespoonsful of strained honey and the juices of half an orange and half a lemon, Combine this with a pint of stiffly beaten cream and pile into a glass. On top grate a little of the rinds of the lemon and orange. Chopped walnut-meats and dates, with quartered pear slices, if added to the above, make a glori- ficd Sillibub. * LJ White cherries petted and filled with blanched almonds and stirred into sweetened cream make a very delicate Sillibub, In fact the num- ber of variations is limited only by the housekeeper, 70 MARRY SOON Margaret Stratton Gibbs Has New York, Mar. 15.--One of the Be sure it mmuni Sd TVA 'Fresh from the gardens' ity | is Salada Orange Pekoe--~always A' Author Gives Ideas Of Success In Love Chicago, Mar, 14.--One element alone will turn young love and a detective story alike into a '"'thrill- er" mystery. Sweethearts who would make a real romance out of their love affair will keep each oth- er guessing. "Of course they will keep each other guessing in the right way," explained Mrs, Eleanor Rowland Wembridge, author and sociologist of New York, speaking before a conference on youth of the Chicago Association for Child Study. "They will not be hypocritical nor deceit- ful, but they will keep a reserve," Yectures on Youth Mrs. Wembridge, well known as a defender as well ag an analyst of modern youth, took as her topic "The Perfect Girl and Her Boy Friend." "Every girl wants to be a sweet- heart the same as every boy wants to be a lover," she went on, "and it is an instinct that should be guided and not repressed. But the clever girl will make personal charm rather than sex appeal the guiding element in her actions. She will invest herself with an element of mystery by maintaining a certain dignity and reserve. This need not be at the expense of frankness or spontaneity, It simply means that she will enhance her native attrac- tiveness instead of exploiting it. "A girl by her dress, her manner, Rer attitude and her conversation-- even her silence--can convey the element of mystery, which will make her all the more charming, especially to the opposite sex. It will give the appearance of reserve strength, one of the first prerequis- ites in making a favorable impres- sion," Here's One for Boys "How about boys?" she asked. "Boys should adopt the same tac- ties if they wish to make them- selves appealing to girls. Any fel- low who tells all he knows the first time he meets a girl soon be- comes a bore, Let him give the im- pression of reserve strength in every way and girls will worship him as the original Prince Charm- was ing." Modern youth is blazing its way to a higher understanding of its own problems, according to Mrs. Wembridge, and she believes boys and girls are settling down to a new and better era. SILLIBUBS In the old South Sillibub was of- ten referred to as the 'bride's de- light" it was a delicacy so easily prepared. Delicious in summer or winter, it was made of fruit, fruit- Juices and wine-flavored whipped cream, *« 8 To make a very simple Sillibub, drop, in a fruit cocktail-glass, just before serving one ripe strawberry, if it is summer or, if winter, a piece of crystallized ginger or orange- peel. Fill the glass with stifrly beaten cream, to which has been added three tablespoons of confec- tioner's sugar and your favorite flavoring. ; Flashing Eyes Laughing Bons DowncastEyes Eyes tell Your Character Brown eyes for strength--Blue for generosity--Gray eyes for jealou parkli eyes in. dicate beans, = and good health, too 0 your eyes sparkle?
