Cooked Pears Make Delicious Desserts

PEARS

By JUDITH WILSON

EARS are good served uncooked, either as whole fruit or cut up in crescent shapes for salads and cubed to put in fruit cups. But they are even better in cooked desserts. For baking and pics ask for slightly under-ripe pears. General baking directions are: Halve and core washed frait and arrange in

By JACQUELINE HUNT

GETTHY shouldn't business girls be smart looking and well- groomed?" a homemaker asked me recently. "She has her own money to spend and time for permanents, wave-sets and facials whenever she needs them!" Being a "business girl" my- self, as well as a homemaker, I couldn't help feeling indignant at her attitude. A girl who works in an office day in and day out has more beauty problems than any other.

She must combat the dull skin and lifeless hair that come from inadequate fresh-air and exercise. She must do something to prevent or overcome the spreading hips and forward slump that results from hours of sitting before her desk.
