Soft boiled custard, either vanilla or chocolate, makes a splendid dressing, as indeed does almost any sort of custard mixture. Cottage pudding also may be used In making Boston cream pie, or Washington pie, and It is delicious for ice cream Bandwiches or for such elaborate desserts as baked Alaska, and peach melba. Because of the versatility of cottage pudding it is a splendid choice for the woman who is cooking for but two or three persons, for It rriay be so thoroughly disguised on It's second or third appearance, that no one would ever dream that you were serving left-overs.

This statement was made recently by the head of a large employment agency specializing in the placement of secretaries and stenographers. The most successful business girl, this expert declares. Is the one who always keeps her nails manicured prettily and her hair waved becomingly. She Is the girl who does not permit her nose to become shiny, or her Hps and eyelashes to appear pale and colorless by lunch time.

In the informal rules she offers as a good looks guide for working girls she stresses neatness and simplicity. Her choice of dress for the business girl Is a dark. Inconspicuous color in dull-surfaced materials. Jewelry she says should not be worn In an office the only exceptions being a simple ring or wrist watch. Dangling earrings and elaborate necklaces are ana- thema to her.

While shoes need not be of the low-heeled "sensible" type, neither should they have extremely high heels. She believes simply cut oxfords or pumps are in best taste. Facial make-up, this authority points out. Is of utmost necessity but it should be more subdued than for social occasions. The current off-the-face hair styles call attention to the eyes and make It imperative for them to be emphasized by make-up.

Besides sparkling, slightly-accented eyes give a women a much more alert appearance. In her opinion the subtle use of mascara and a clever elongation of the brow where necessary with an eyebrow pencil is perfectly legitimate for office appearance. ANSWERS TO BEAUTY QUESTIONS Miss H. One hundred and six pounds is the weight scheduled for one of your years and height. So you see you are not overweight.

There is nothing you can do to reduce your face and neck. That is taken care of through the clever use of make-up, the way you wear your hair, the type of hats and clothes that you choose. We have two leaflets. B-25, "Secrets of Clever Make-up," and B-37, "Hide Your Defects." in which I am sure you will find suggestions that will help you. Please Care of Light II ait-Subject of Leaflet All hair that Is not black has the tendency to grow darker with advancing years.

Light hair requires more thought in its care than brown or black hair. It requires more frequent shampooing with the double purpose of keeping it clean and keeping It light. Certain soaps and certain oily lotions are taboo. There are certain rinBes that are best for the woman who constantly is trying to keep her hair from turning darker. There also are certain shampoos.

All these points and others of interest to the woman with light hair are discussed in the Free Press leaflet B-43, "Keeping Light Hair Light." If you want a copy of it, address your request to Beauty Editor, Detroit Free Press, and inclose a three-cent stamp for postage. Do not send a self-addresBed stamped envelope. send stamps when you ask for them, Instead of a stamped, self-, addressed envelope. E. Smith: You will find the answers to your questions about care of the eyes in leaflet B-28, "Preserving Eye Beauty." Miss H.

M. All you need are two yeast cakes, diluted or mixed with either witch hazel or lemon juice, to paste form. Spread on the skin and let it dry on. Remove with warm wet towels. Fol low with a cream rub.

Of course, as for all masks, the skin must be absolutely clean and free of make-up and powder, before the mask is put on. Miss S. An important part of the treatment for pimples, rashes, is internal. Simplify your diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

Drink quantities of water. Eat foods that will sweep your intestines clean of poisons -such as bran, spinach, figs, dates, oranges, onions. Our leaflet B-18, "Clearing Up a Bad Complexion" contains further advice which will be helpful. In writing for the leaflet, enclose a three-cent stamp for postage. Do not send a sell-addressed, stamped envelope.

E. L. Send a three-cent stamp with your request and ask for leaflet B-15. You will get in this all the advice I can give you on this subject. Sweet almond oil and coconut oil are whitening as well as nourishing, while olive and cod liver oils seem to have a more penetrating effect.

The oils should be slightly warmed before using. My objection to cod liver oil for the purpose you mention would be the odor. 1 Sleeve Pattern Allows for Cuff or Loose Finishing Here's a between season after noon frock you'll look lovely in.

Jean Elizabeth is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

William Grafing King, the former widely known in this city as assistant concert master of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Recently Jean Elizabeth was doing her bit to entertain a visitor, an adopted "aunt" who had dropped in to call. Jean's Idea of entertainment was to comb "Aunt's" hair with skilful and soothing gestures. Apparently Aunt liked the treatment because she resorted to bribery when the youthful hairdresser showed signs of weakening. "If you keep on," she beamed pleasantly, "I'll simply have to give the little hairdresser a penny." "Oh, you don't need to give me a penny," exclaimed Jean Elizabeth briskly.

"I have lots of pennies." The elders nodded at each other approvingly, glad that such sweet selflessness should be evident In one so young. Then Jean Elizabeth tore their illusions to shreds. "I have lots of pennies." she reiterated. "You'd better give me a nickel."

By A1LEEN SPAFFORD old, old pattern has come to light and we are very proud of the opportunity to pass It on to those women who love to make and own beautiful things. It Is a truly marvelous thing, this crocheted bedspread, which some one in the long ago named the Water Lily pattern. There's a charm about those old names and It's nice to know that this one hasn't been changed.

So to the vast army of young moderns who have developed Into crochet enthusiasts, almost over night, we present the Water Laly bedspread in all its glory. It's entirely different from any other crocheted bedspread that we know. And although we have a horror of ever using superlatives it is the most effective design that we have seen to date. Sections Made Separately Each hexagonal section (and there are 53 in all) is made separately. This, of course, means that it is splendid pick-up work.

And in the center of each hexagon is a flat "lily" with ruffled edges to make the petals of the flower. In the very center of each one is a small lacy medallion and the hexagons are bordered with two double rows of the beloved popcorn Etitch. A six-inch hand tied fringe borders three sides of the spread. It is made of crochet or knitting cotton and an ivory or eggshell tone is the most effective. However, pure white is equally appropriate If that seems to fit into some particular scheme.

Now, as far as words go, that Is all there is to say about It unless we make a list of all the synonyms for "beautiful" and call them off straight through to the end. The Women's Service Bureau has secured the directions for crocheting this bedspread and copies are ready for distribution. 'These Include complete instructions, an estimate of material required and a guide chart. If you would like one send your name, address and a three-cent stamp to the Women's Service Bureau, Detroit Free Press, and it will be mailed promptly. Please do not send a stamped envelope.

For the Modern Girl MISS SPAFFORD: I need your help in finishing a girl's bedroom. This room is 13 by 14 feet with two windows on the north and one facing east. The floor has a 9 by 12 plain blue-green rug. Furniture is of modern design in walnut with silver trim and consists of single bed. high-boy, dressing table and night table.

The woodwork Is ivory with walnut doors. Can you suggest something for curtains, draperies, bedcover, lamps and chairs? The room belongs to a girl of 16 who is quite athletic and doesn't care for fussy things. I had thought of a monogrammed bedcover. What color would you suggest? Wallpaper Is a light tan, llnen-finlshed paper like inclosed sample. MRS.

A. E. S. Can you possibly ref Inish the dark doors in ivory to match the wood- work? This would add a great deal to the room. Glass Curtains I marquisette or plain gauze hanging straight to the sill.

Draperies Printed linen or cot- ton, hanging straight to the floor. Use two pairs without valances. Hang them from very plain silver-finished poles. This material should have a modern design in blue-green, tan, Ivory and dull gold. Chair Look for one with modern lines and have It covered in a medium tan plain repp and corded in dark brown.

Another suggestion for this chair is dull gold repp corded In dark brown. Bedcover Blue-green cotton cor duroy with a monogram in Ivory satin. Lamps Chromium bases (to re peat the silver trim on the furni- bedroom. It is furnished with an old-fashioned mapla rope bed and an old maple chest of drawers. These have been refinished and ths color Is just a little lighter than the usual mapla seen today.

Room has ivory woodwork. Ivory criss-cross curtains and the wallpaper has a floral design in pastel colors. MRS. M. J.

Would suggest that you take one of the prominent colors in the wallpaper for your dressing table skirt. Find a dotted Swiss in this color with the dots In ivory or white. Then make the skirt like Design No. 1 in our leaflet "Making Dressing Table Skirts." Cover the top with the same dotted Swiss and protect it with a plate glass top. Drapery Problems MISS SPAFFORD: Am enclosing a plan of our living room for which we need new curtains, draperies and poles.

Walls are cream-colored rough plaster. Rug Is plain gray-taupe. Couch and one large chair are in gray-taupe and blue. A large comfortable tapestry covered chair has a floral design on a cedar background. Room also contains a gateleg table, radio, bookcase, two end tables and an occasional chair.

The furniture woods are mostly walnut and the woodwork has a walnut finish also. I also need new curtains for the sunroom which extends across the front of the house and is only about 10 feet from the sidewalk. Here the floor is tan tile, walls are rough cream plaster touched with green and reed furniture is upholstered with a small tan and red figure. There are wrought iron rods in this room. MRS.

G. C. T. In the living room, use cream cotton filet net, hanging straight to the sill, for the glass curtains with printed linen overhangings. Look for something with a cedar-colored background and blue, green and gold in the design.

Let them hang straight to the floor from plain brass or statuary bronze poles. I should think you could use another chair of the pull-up type in dull gold in this room. Since your sunroom is on the front of the house, I should like perfectly plain cotton filet nets or ecru casement curtains in here. Would also suggest that the wrought irons be taken down. You will not need them with curtains of this kind.

"The correct thing" becomes natural if you read Emily Post's explanations on the Woman's Page of Free Press daily and Sunday. Gay Colored Wools sed in New A fghan Cold wintry days are "afghan" days for the people who like to crochet fascinating woolen things. The Shade Diamond Afghan, the latest design, has proved exceptionally popular. And since each block is made separately it is fine pick-up work. The colors of each block shade softly from one tone to another.

It Is unusually effective in yellows, deep brown and beige or in a series of red tones shading from pale coral to rich crimson and deep wine. However, Innumerable color combinations can be used. Our leaflet "Directions for Crocheting the Shaded Diamond Afghan" will be sent to anyone requesting it Inclose your name, address and a three-cent stamp and mail your inquiry to the Women's Service Bureau, Detroit Free Press.

m. Is distressing, a mysterious one is simply unbearable. But that was the hour at which the Collins phono began to jangle. Sleepily Mr. Collins crawled out of bed and padded to the telephone.

"Hello," said Mr. Collins fuzzily. "I go now," came the brisk tones of a strange voice tinged with a foreign accent. Then the receiver clicked on the hook and Mr. Collins was left in several kinds of dark.

The next morning at 4 a. m. the phone repeated the performance and the same foreign voice an nounced, "I go now." By this time Mr. Collins was becoming apprehensive. He even" considered notifying the police that he was on the verge of a holdup.

When the phone rang on the third morning Mr. Collins could stand it no longer. Rushing to the phone he forestalled the foreign voice by demanding bruskly who he thought he was anc what of it. "See barked Mr. Collins, "what do you mean you 'go now'? Who are you?" There was a horrified silence, then the foreign voice inquired weakly: "I'm the night watchman.

Aren't you the boss?" Mr. Collins wasn't. The dally problem of what shall we have for dinner can be solved by consulting Today's Menu, a daily feature in the Free Press.
