First of all, today we have a carry over from yesterday's column in the form of the third letter with Schnitz und Kneph.

My dear Miss Carey Sorry to have been so tardy with Inclosed recipe. Hope it wiU be of some use to the friend Inquiring. It is "real," being served to us bv natives of both Allentown and Bethlehem, Pa. Some of the up- State recipes call lor schnitz made from sweet apples, but we found these flat, and the best flavor is obtained by using regular tart apples sweetened by putting the sugar in the water in which they are soaked. The combination Is very delicious and was -e of the few recipes we really treasured during our four years there and since another is "Reib Kuchen" (German potato pancakes), which I will also enclose.

This Is a small return for the many times I have been helped by the column. SchnlU und Kneph. (Dried Apples.) Soak one-half pound dried apples for several hours in sweetened water (about two or three tablespoonfuls of sugar to sufficient water to cover well.) Simmer an end of ham in the usual way and one hour or less before meal time add the schnitz. Forty min utes later add egg dumplings and do not uncover (this is important) until finished. Serve ham surrounded by dumplings and apples.

It is usual to serve a sauce boat or the liquid from saucepan, as most people find the dumplings much improved by being broken open and well moistened with the liquid, as is, not thickened. Dumplings. 1 egg cupful flour Pinch of salt 1 tablespoonful milk 1 teaspoonful baking powder. Beat egg until light, add milk, then the flour that has been sifted with the salt and baking powder. Mix well and drop from dessertspoon Into the bubbling liquid.

Dip spoon into saucepan before taking up each lump cf batter, this prevents sticking. Reib Kuchen. (German Potato Pancakes.) Grate four large, raw, white potatoes and one onion. Add one heap TEA No better yourself. to serve mirrors in the chairs, between the top round and the seat, and the buffet has bits of mirrors on its front, as well as SDatulatine silver handles.

All the mirrors are etched and all reflect enough to keep you busy trying to figure out whether you see what you seem to be seeing, or just a reflection of something across the room. Other Americans have rooms- W. T. Benda, Robert Reid Macgulre and Oscar Bach. The French contributors include the great Ruhlmann he has a gorgeous screen in his gorgeous dining room.

It's a two-leaved affair, very broad leaves, how ever, showing strange modernistic beasts on their backs light-heartedly Juggling balls. Also there are the creations of Dominique, Leleu, Crevel and Jallot all names that mean a great deal to Europeans who know the smart thing in craftsmanship. Benda designed the column lights that are part of the exhibition arrangements of metal and glass that gleam in bright subduedness at the top and when you stand a certain distance away throw a very small rainbow across the paper in your hand. How pleasant to have a rainbow in your home for the mere effort of turning on the light. We made another pleasant observation, too cushions have taken to the air.

Oh, not in that way, but they are filled with it instead of whatever they used to fill cushions with.

Long lines and the new furniture has that have a satisfying quality, whether they are angular or curved. The designers have used both.

A3 a result the main one, we think the chairs and the rest of things are neither fat like those of the overstuffed era or spindly thin like those of whichever Louis of France it was that liked them that way, but have, instead, lithe, supple-looking lines that are distinctly expressive of the modern taste in silhouettes.

From the far corners of the earth come choice herbs and spices to male this savory blend, BELL'S SEASONING 10 eenll a jxickayt at your grottr'l Thi William Bill Co Borton, Mart i Advice by Dear Helen Worth For the past ten years I have known a certain young lawyer who goes to the same church as I do. This young man, hile most successful in business, has never been known to take a young lady out with the exception of myself.

These outings were few and far between. One day I chanced to meet his most intimate man friend, who told me that this young lawyer liked me very much, but that he was afraid of girls. As my engagements with him had been so scarce, I thought this idea absurd. In the spring, however, he invited me to the theater and on the way home he told me he loved me. Being greatly taken by surprise I merely smiled and listened1.

Since then he has not Invited me out. During the summer 1 saw him frequently in church. At such times he would always come over to mother, father and myself and speak, although I do admit he would become very much fussed." Father would remark, "It is too bad he is so nervous." One Sunday, however, in the summer I met him when I was alone and so I invited him out to the house to a bridge. rjie came, and came very early, saying that he wanted to be the first so thai he might tell me he loved me. The evening passed away Every one seemed to enjoy tnemselves.

When he left he stated that he had spent one of the happiest evenlng3 of his life. I have not been out with him since. I adore this young man, 29 years old. I am 24 and would like to become much better friends. When we meet I always make every effort to be congenial and friendly.

He, too, seems to make every effort. But outside of being very good friends that is all. How may I interest mm mother? CONSTANT READER. My dear "Constant Reader" The young man is very evidently one of those extremely shy persons who experiences great difficulty in self-expression. That he has been able to overcome his native timidity sufficiently to declare his love for you on two occasions Indicates deep affection indeed.

Since he Is so exceptionally bashful, my advice to you would be to go after him a bit. Invite him to your home for dinner, or for Sunday night supper. Try to help him overcome his handicap by beinz friendly but not effusive. Per son nf his temperament suffer keetilv and require the assistance of others If they are eventually to win in the struggle. Enlist the aid of your mother and father, for if you adore this man much effort is worth while.

Gooi luck to you. HELEN WORTH. Find Another Boy. My dear "Ally" I'd advise you to Jlnd another boy, one who has not already found his sweetheart. You will not find happiness, as you say, In playing second fidcie Neither can it be yours if you wreck another girl's romance.

And that's that I HELEN WORTH. Ask Your Parents' Help. Dear Helen Worth Would you please help me solve this problem? Last night I went to the Mardi Gras with my parents, for the first time in years. After being there for an hour I laid my eyes on a very fins-looking young Irish chap. He saw me and immediately my heart Just seemed to skip a beat.

He kept looking and looking at me. It became so hopeless that he just followed me around and stopped wherever I stopped. He was adorable. As -father said when he reached home "There's the kind of boy I like, cultured and clean cut." He tried every possible way of talking to me, but, as you know, conventions forbid. I suppose he would have had no respect for me if I had let him pick me up.

He followed us and literally beamed on me for about three hours. Then mother, dad and I got on the subway and came home. He just stood by a post and when he caught my eye made a hopeless and pleading gesture with his arms. Now, Helen Worth, there was no way Believing that many perione arm confronted with pereonal probleme, anxiout for advice but unwilling to teek it from triendt or relative; The Eagle invitee it readere to writ to Helen Worth, who will give each eommunica lion elote pereonal attention. Writ under your own name or an aemmed AND ON ONE SIDE OF THE PAPER ONLY.

Direct letter, to HELEN WORTH. of his getting my name or address, but people say the world is small. Do you think I shall ever see him again? I do nothing else but think of him all dav long. Do you think he Rhall ever 'lnd me again or I him? Is there any way of his finding my name or ad-tress? Will you tell me, Helen Worth, just what to do and how to feel? I forgot to tell you that I am 19 and looked to be about 22. NINETEEN.

My dear "Umilein" Ask your moth er and father to help you in your ef fort to locate the young man. That is the only safe course of conduct for you. HELEN WORTH. No Other Man Is Not So Different From the Old-Fashloned. Dear Helen Worth In answer to "Annie's" letter, let me say that, in ray opinion, she takes; life too seriously.

One should play with boys as much as girls. They like you for it. If she doesn't like them to put their arms around her, she doesn't have to let them, but she mustn't say no and she mustn't say yes Just say maybe and smile. Let her never appear to believe anything they say. That also madens them.

If she goes to college she must be clever. Let her use her cleverness. It's what the modern man requires "a clever woman." MITZI. The modern man Is not so different to the old-fashioned one, my dear "Mitri." Men of intelligence have always admired and appreciated this quality in women, and the Lydia Languishes usually made their strongest appeal to their masculine prototypes. "Let her never appear to believe anything they say" should be moderated a bit, in my opinion.

HELEN WORTH. No Use in Catering to Impossible Man Dear Helen Worth I have about Biven up trying! I can't please him with meals, manners or anything. I wear my dresses long enough to look almost ridiculous these days, and yet iiususuu says iney are loo snort. Not a sentence do I speak but he finds fault in the Wav I have pv- pressed myself. I can have no friends.

not even my own brothers and sisters come to see me. If I chance to meet some acquaintance and tell him about it he says I am holding something back if I can't repeat the conversation word for word. Always cranky, always crabby and not yet 30 years of age. If I am not meek and do not condescend t.n his every whim, he beats me and calls me all the vile names he can think of. Mornings he will lie in bed wide awake until noon even though he has a business appointment, then, of course, takes it out on me.

I have tred everything, ignoring his ways, tried to plead with him, have tried humoring him, have tried everything I know to have him change his wavs and thus have peace and harmony, but it seems so utterly hopeless. In his few good moments he is wonderful and I know he can be different. I have no money and no place to go. x-itasc leu me wnat 10 no I DISCOURAGED. My dear "Discouraged" Were I in your place I'd find some employment, almost anything, rather than put up with such an unbearable creature.

Life is too short to spend it trying cater to an impossible man. HELEN WORTH. Opaque, Etched Windows, Air-Filled Chair Cushions and Hurtling Gazelles Help to Express the Age. C. B.

The low tables are both mirror-topped. By JANE CORBY. Surprise! That's the characteristic of the new furniture, and a gay virtue it is, too. If you don't believe it, look at some modernistic stuff and then go straight off and look, at the regulation period furniture and see if the latter doesn't seem tame by compar ison. We dare you.

We did at Alt-I man's, where they are having an store where they are having an exhibition of French designers' creations and of what happens when American artists and sculptors try their hand at making beds. Ruth Campbell makes them very well. Or ruth campbeil, as the card on her display room has it, and all the other designers' cards on the other dlsnlavs in the exhibition.

Robinson's home town, finds highly interesting her work of soliciting advertising gathering "personals," writing new3 and editorials and keening books.

Two years ago, she took charge of the Lonoke Democrat upon the death of her father and has been tea to drink No better tea your friends The bed is black, but It doesn't look it. That's because it changed its mind, in the delightful, unexpected manner of the modern furniture, and added touches of green and gold and poppy-color spraying over the footboard in an ooening-uetal deslsn. The same design is repeated in the poppy-colored velour chair, whose back nas all the flaunting glory of the real-flower. The slipper chair has a matching seat, repeating the wide-flung motif in the black back, which has slipped downward to the floor in stead of rising upward from the seat, as we are entirely accustomed to see ing chair backs do. The window wears transparent green.

Windows, apparently, in the new expression of Twentieth Century taste have undergone as striking a change as the former what-not, which is now in course of reincarnation and reappears somewhat frivolously as a dwelling place of delightful little art objects. But the odd thing about the new window is one can't see through it. Gone Is the time-honored indoor game of keeping an eye on the neighbors. Windows are now opaque and part of the decorative scheme, being etched in a manner to suit the rest of the room. For instanca, the window in Steele Savage's conversation room his comet like designs all over it.

Of course, such scintillating decorations might be out of place in the conversation room of the average house indeed, the average home could probably dispense entirely with a conversation room, conversation in many instances either having lapsed completely or the occupants thereof looking forward hopefully to the period when it will. All the same, Mr. Savage's room Is inspiring. It ha a mirror don't let us forget to tell you about the mirror. But first you'll want to know that trft color of the room is woodsy directing the paper's destinies since.

Because as sure as we, for one, see an ivory-knobbed drawer or door we are going to accept the invitation it gives to pull it open. We'll have to. Oh, yes, we promised to describe the mirror. A lovely mirror. You can't see vourself in it.

The mirror is in five parts, the decorations are painted on in all over the surface, not around the edjes as you'd expect, and the whole forms a decorative panel over a bookcase for which the beholder feels an instantaneous affec tion. Not for any particular reason- just bonkcase appeal, we suppose, though the middle section, with mys terious closed doors, may have something to do with it.
