i 1940 Kitchen Is A Bright Spot All Wall Space Used To Best Advantage For Saving Steps It hasn't-been many years since the average kitchen was a make- shift affair . , just a room where cook stove, sink, icebox and a "cajch-all" closet or two were placed at random, without thought of appearance, convenience or ef- ficiency .-. . just a dreary work shop where the over-burdened housewife spent the greater part of her time. And guests were sel- dom admitted to this unattractive room. . REMARKABLY CONVENIENT But the kitchen of today pre- sents an entirely different pic- ture. The cook stove is now a striking white range; the sink, a sparkling built-in unit, with all pipes and unfinished parts con: cealed; the icebox, a gracefully designed refrigerator, Most im- portant of all, the room itself is beautiful and remarkably con- venient. Every inch of wall space is now used to best advantage . . . for cupboards, cabinet bases, utility bases and broad expanses of con- tinuous counter tops or work sur- faces, Everything is carefilly planned to eliminates hundreds of needless steps and make Kitchen work flow smoothly throughout the day. All units are correctly placed for maxinium efficiency . . veadily accessible, convenient to use. In fact, kitchen cabinets now give the housewife everything she wants and needs. They enable her to do all her work systematically, ni much shorter time. - AN AFTERNOON ENSEMBLE SPEEA AA Cross fox blends into thé gold med: {ley for Joan Crawford's afternoon 'ensemble which i§ of sheer wool jer- ~ sey.

Yesterday: The expedition .gets under way after many prepara- tions and Melissa looks forward to the new turn of her career with great anticipation. o CHAPTER 111 The heraldic crowing of Ma Pelphry's roosters amplified by clear atmosphere and a complete lack of other sound, awoke Mary Melissa. Lane next morning. She jumped out of bed, startled, "Goodness!" she murmited softly. The chicken house wasn't; 20 feet from her window, and dawn was creeping up on the oth- er side. "That choo, Miss Lane?" called 'Ma. "We been waitin' on you." When her thoughts hail cleared the girl had to smile at herself. Many a night she hadn't more than started to bed at this hour--- she struck a match to see her wrist watch. Four-forty a.m.! ~ "Yes, Mrs. Pelphry. Are we to get up now?" . "Ever'body's up but "you, hon-- ¢y. Breakfast's on." : The others had eaten. Hades Jones and the younger man. Holli- man were already busy with the _ myriad 'details of making packs for the mules and horses, Bob Barry sat beside the parlor lamp, working witht pencil and papers. "Morning!" he greeted her, cheerily. "Sorry to haul you out at midnight, but it's a custonr out here." : big She was embarrassed, but she covered it with a smile, "I'll get used to it--I lope, Please forgive me. But I really had no idea about the time to arise. Ond no alarm clock, except the roosters." They laughed at that, but she quickly spoke again, "Dy, Barry, I hope you believe me when I say I want to work as well as put the money for this trip. 1 admit I'm inexperienced, but-- He grinned -at her? "Stout fel: low! But take it easy, apd learn as you go along. We'll divide up the duties when we get to camp, if you like. There'll be a deal of book work, records and such. You can help there I know." "Can't I do something now? To- day?" Si * * * The Meal, A Challenge He thought 'for a moment be- fore he answered that. ~ "Why perhaps you can. One item of equipment I overlooked -yesterday-is-some clothing for the- cook. I arranged for one before: you came. He's an Indian, and she's to meet us at my shack. But all redskins are penniless, Miss Lane. How'd it do for you to slip over to the store and get him some clothes and tobacco? Storé-- opens at 6 o'clock," "All, right," she agreed. She gave thought to the matter while eating her breakfast, The meal, incidentally, was a chal- lenge. Ma Pelphry apparently ex pected a slight city girl to con- sume six: enormous hoteakes, with' butter and syrup; 'three fried eggs; a plateful of biscuits, fresh and hot; assorted cuts of beef- steak dipped in flour and fried, with thick gravy beside them; a jar of squawberry jam; a mug-- not a cup--of cavalry-type coffee. 'Lissa thought it best not to ap- pear surprised, but she wondered how to keep from hurting Mrs. Pelphry's feelings. In' the end, however, she found that she had done amazingly well: It was tho heaviest breakfast she had eaten in all her life, she felt sure; thq desert air was already getting in its heady thrusts, slightly intoxi- cating due to altitude. She smiled inwardly at memories of tomato Juice and dainty toast, "You ain't on your feed yet, honey, But. you'll be eatfn' all right .soon,"'-Ma apologized for , "Tak a-spell to get the vel-out of a person's 'bones, always say." : "Thank you," but it was deli" cious," Mary Mdliesa wald, and meant it. Actually it was 'a strange delight to eat with zest that way. "Now come and I'll help pack your things for the trip," Ma sug- gested. "You Don't Néed Much" "Thank you, they're all pack- ed, I mean--"" She had given this detail no thought, really. Sudden: ly . she remembered the very small bags assembled there by Hades Jones and Holliman, For an absence of at least a month, she observed, they. couldn't have more than one change of clothing each. Wise Ma Pelphry appeared to read her thoughts. "You won't really nced much, honey," she counseled. "Just strong outdoor things. Now that pretty pink gown, it--" "But it's my .bathrobe, Mrs. _ Pelphry!" "It may be, honey, but you won't, need -it. You will be miles fiom any water hole. Even old: Hades cain't pack in. water for your bath every night. But it'll be all right." . . . "He Likes Me" Mary Melissa regarded this with dismay. The little intimacies of her routine life, she realized, would have to be sadly altered. Silently she -thanked herself, for the tenth time already, for de- ciding not to bring a maid to Ari. zona, But she just hadn't given any thought to such services as the hairdressers, manicurists, and her beloved shower bath, BUTTON.FRONT PRINCESS FROCK By ANNE ADAMS : If you're a modern matron, you demand comfort along with your style.

When Ma was through with her, she looked fine, She wore cowboy denim pants--*"they're most prac- tical of all," Ma declared--and hiking boots, a mannish red shirt, and a real man's hat which Ma had given her with the promise that it would ward off the Ari- zona sun, "Great!" lime Dr. Barry when he saw her. "I was afraid you'd be a little--well, . dudish. You know. what 1 mean, But you He swallowed. "After all, he wasn't sure of. himself now. Tell- ing a girl she looks. cute and smart takes finesse anywhere, and Dr. Robert Wilson Barry was more at home with -prahistoric pots and shards, abandoned caves and Indian signs. "He likes me," Mary Melissa decided instantly, She hadn't even noticed what he was saying, But intuitively she saw and appreciat- ed his glow, In the same fleeting moment she noticed that he him-, self was quite presentable, bat he hadn't fooled her any. Over the night he had managed to get a hair cut and a shave, concessions to the fact that his new partner was a woman, With the storekeeper' s help, she purchased two pair of trousers, two blue shirts, two sox and bro- gan shoes for -the Indian cook, "I've made "em generous size, ma"- am," the store man .said. "Most redsking are pretty fat herea- bouts." ' I EE _ The Indian Girl The 'men had bought and out- fitted all the saddle horses and pack. mules; so that the party was ready to travel soon after noon. Mary Melissa was highly excited as they rode away. They wouldn't do all the 20 miles to Bob's cabin that afternoon, he told them, but would camp 'en route.

Women are advised not- to "pretty up" for thé dentist -- if he's going to X-ray their teeth. They ' .risk facial "burns" by Roentgen rays if they do, Dr, Wal ter S. Thompson, of Los Angeles, "told the Roentgenology section of the American Dental Association. Heavy elements such as lead, 'mercury and other mineral salts in cosmetics, lotions and oint- ments absorb more Roentgen rays than light elements, he explained. In effect, they 'form "a layer of ' minefal . substance on the skin, which absorbs the rays to such an- extent that they cause a burn much more 'quickly than if the skin were free of these heavy ele- ments."

War Influences London Styles "Siren Suits" and "Battle Dress" Styles Seen Likely to Last ' Wars change fashions. in curious ways and this' one promises to prove no exception, . - So far in London, England, it has popularized clothes that can be quickly put on. 'Siren suits" loose trousers and matching blous- es cut on the style of windbreakers -- are an example, The need for their use in air raids has not arisen, but women are finding them com- fortable and useful for house wear.
