SDitz Chooses
Kitten for
Friend
By LIZ HUME

A reader of The Washington
Times, Peter Nelson, sends us
from Summerdale, Alabama,
information about dog he re-
fers to as an Alabama Spitz."
Now we don't know whether
Mr.. Nelson believes this breed Of
dog to be solely product of
that State, or whether he thinks
that adding Alabama makes the
breed more valuable. But at any
rate we are interested.
Mr.. Nelson tells us that his
pet is II years old-and is very
friendly with cat he also owns.
She, the dog, has been bitten
by a poisonous snake-and last
year had one of her legs broken,
but "she still smiles when you
talk to her, and is a great COM
panion"-Says her owner.
AS you doubtless know, the
Spitz very much resembles the
Pomeranian-except that he
is considerably larger in size.
In his general ways and man.
ner he is very closely allied
with the Pomeranian-gives an
attractive appearance, is highly
intelligent and very devoted to
his master, for whom he saves
his real devotion. OF the one
man type, he hasn't much time
for strangers, although he will
tolerate them.
Many believe the Spitz to be
very disagreeable and inclined
to snap at times and this is
true if the dog has not careful
training. But then this same
characteristic may be found in
any dog if he hasn't been care
fully brought up. If they are
trained to be friendly they more
than likely will turn out to be
that way-just like a child.
This breed supposedly origi-
mated in northern Germany,
whence came the Pomeranian
but no exact information is OBJ
tainable.
If you have a good picture
Of your pet, Liz Hume invites
yOu to send it in for use in

Household
Hints
Tasty Seasoning

To make a tasty celery sea-
soning. run small quantity of
celery seed through a food
chopper, using the finest knife.
Add to the seed about 10 times
it's bulk of salt, mix we'll and
put in a bottle, to use when
you need to add an extra flavor
to some dish.
For Buttons
Crochet cotton is much
stronger than thread and for
that reason it comes in very
useful for sewing on buttons
which are subject to extra
strain and for lacking seams,
etc., which are likely to rip.
This is a good way to use up
short pieces of the cotton which
can't be used for crocheting.

tea sets of china or pottery in
period" designs, to suit what
ever sort of home you may have.
There are many others that are
of no period at all, and not only
will fit nicely into your own
drawing room, but will be an
acceptable gift for anyone you
might want to give a tea set to
for Christmas.
One of the smartest is de-
signed by Susie Cooper, and
comes from England. We've
shown several pieces from the
set on this page, and you can
easily visualize the others.
Striped effects are in tones of
brown and deep red, of green
and rose, and a lighter brown
with rosy rust. This is just one
of the many new things shown,
and we will try to have pictures
of others for you in the near
future.

And they go a step further.
They agree that when a pure
soap is latherd onto the skin
with a scientific face brush,
the skin is doubly helped.
So a brush and soap facial
set is beauty news. And it took
an English firm to introduce
this sane skin treatment to
American women.
The set consists of a creamy
bowl of complexion soap, and a
skin stimulator in the form of
round, soft-bristled brush of the
best English make. The soap
has sufficient quantity of de-
fatted milk to make it a grand
soothing cleanser for the skin,
while the brush is very adept in
getting around nose, chin and
forehead in a fashion that will
dislodge the tiniest speck OF
CRIME.
The treatment is simple, sane
and effective: moisten the skin
stimulator with warm water and
make a rich lather of complex
ion cleanser. Massage the bland,
creamy suds gently. not vigor-
ously, over the face and neck
for two or three minutes. Then
rinse thoroughly with warm
water, followed by cold.

plete facial for the oily skin
and as pre-facial for the dry
skin. AS nine out of ten women
suffer from dry skin, my sug-

and water cleansing with a rlch
nourishing cream. The skin
like the body, is hungry after
exercise.
