CHOW MEIN NOT CHINESE; IRISH COOK CLAIMS IT All your life you doubtles have thought of chow mein as a Chinese dish. Well, according to Tong Y. Chin of Cleveland, president of a company manufacturing chow mein, it's an Irish dish. Chow mein was created in the kitchen of an Irish cook in San Francisco some 50 years ago, ac- cording to Chin. “The Irish cook made this dish and when asked what it was he said Chinese chow Ineln. because it was the first thought that came to him." ex- Chin. Americans like their chow mein, however be it Irish or Chinese, for Chin says that in one city alone they ate 500 gallons of it 5 week for a month. That is the amount that was consumed homes. and does not take into consideration that eaten in res- hurants or what was sold whole- sale. YOUR.

If you have a bad scratch, wax it before apply- ing polish.

Then pick out the paper- Uee very fine thread for the stitch- ing. SCRATCHES ON SILVER.

CHOOSING A PROPER LIPSTICK IS IIKPORTANT In a faraway country there are women of an ancient tribe still living whose lips bear the tattoo marks once considered a. requisite to beauty. Green, blue and many other colors were used to beautify them. But though we in this part of the world stick to healthy reds in adding gla-mor to our lips, we may neglect them in ways that are quite as recklem as it would be to tattoo them with grotesque and indelible pigments Quite as much as the eyes. lips should be expressive vivid and col- orful. And it isn't a matter of sim- ply adding a splash of crimson and letting it go at that. Choos- 1118 the proper lipstick is the first important step.
