SCRAPBOOK,
~SEEING LOVE~

mY By Ellen Barnes
J Decatur, Ga.

Pm tired of all this bunk about
stars and the moon

Why do lovers creep about at
night like loon

I want the sun in my lite~ to see
what's taking r/:ce

* ' "For there~s naught in my. love

yon could call a disgrace.
Shadows make me blue and kind
of careiess too
And I-wouldn~t be responsible for
what a guy might co.
The rain is a curtain, the moon
is a screen
The stars may let you see enough
but not let you be seen
So give me the sun and I know: T~ll have fun
And never have to cry after the
y damage js done.
r ~LONELY EYES~

By Mrs. Margie Graddick Smith

You had the loneliest eyes I
ever saw

When first I met you, I rememper the feeling

Tf I could only stir some wormth

and life.

What could have hurt him _ so,
all trust congesling?

And so T knew a special warm
delight

In watching those eyes thaw and
come awake

First with amusement, then a
friendly gleam

Of sheer affection~there was no
mistake.

And I was sure that you had
come to care.

Such a wild happiness suffused
my life

I studied how to be the perfect
wife.

Observed your little pleasures

You most preferred to while

away

But why play

Upon the theme of what is not
to be?

You have gone~on and, pexhaps,

Pon Bak. we

But, oh. this morning in my mir
ror
I beheld the loneliest eyes be.
neath the sky!

SKIN WILL BENEFIT

The lovely crisp one allows ~plenty of time for the morning bath.
No hopping in and leaping out for
her. She scours her flesh with soap
suds and a heavy brush, knowing
that stimulation of the skin is
bound to benefit her complexion,
besides giving her a feeling of selfrespect. She turns on the warm
shower, then the cold, even though
she shivers her timbers and yowls
a bit..

She has a brisk rub-down with a
coarse towel, uses the fragrant bath

baneul body order as she might

attention to the arm pits, using a
deterrent of one kind or another.
She has a wide choice of these

she puts it there to stay. She does

LET~S TAKE PICKLES FIRST.
Picklin, of course, is the preservation: of food witn salt or vinegar,
either with or without the. addition
of spices or sugar..The old fashjoned methods of overnigh{ soaking with salt, and the more tediou~
processes of making cucumber pick
| les and so on are not so commonly
~| used these days.. The commercial
product is too cheap, and is. superior to what the average woman
can pprodiuce at home. Soft and
sligpery pickles, hollow pickles,
shriveled pickes, it can be a pain
zetting just the right degree ot
crispness.

WHILE WE MAY LEAVE some
of the job to the great canning
concerns, there are a few delicacies
we still like to do in our own backyard and chow. chow. is one of
them. Does anybody knew why
they call it chow chow? Wouldn't
chew chew do just as well? By
any name, chow chow is a mixture
of chopped vegetables like a gallon of cabbage, a hal~ gallon of
green tomatoes, a dozen onions, a
half dozen sweet ball peppers,
and a half dozen sweet bell -peppers green. After everything is
choppef and you are through crying over the onions, mix well and
place in an enameled pan or stone
jar. Put in a layer of vegetables,
sprinkle with salt and. keep ~it up

next morning.
