Household Hints =
BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

Many a ribbon slipper-bag and embroidered pillow case have l worked over for long hours because i wanted some dear friend or rela- tive to be remembered at Christi mas with a product of my own handwork.
 I still have this feeling that I want to make some of my Christ mas gifts, but I turn to my kitchen these days instead of my thimble.
 one of my friends walls about her Soggy pie crust. To her this is really a tragedy because it's long been a custom in her hus- bands family to serve inince pie with mulled wine on Christmas eve after the trimming of the tree.
 Pie Dough for Christmas
 So to this friend I'm sending enough pie dough for two g. crust pies. Stored and chilled in closely covered container, it's all ready to roll out and bake. And I'm adding a jar or two of mince meat.
 My plum buildings are good gifts, too. small-sized ones for small fam lilies and larger ones for larger fam- lilies.
 Boxes of cookies, baskets of candy, squares of fruit cake, jars of jelly and preserves-any special kind of food that you make and that your friends particularly like is sure to be welcome on Christmas morning.
 And now want to give you 8 recipe for a plum pudding that is baked. Most of them are steamed and that often presents difficulties. This pudding is baked to begin with and again put in the oven to reheat.
 Baked Plum Pudding
 One cup finely chopped Suet, l cup chopped apple, cup molasses, 1-2 cup brown sugar, teaspoon salt, teaspoon soda, 31-2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, IA tea spoon cloves, 1-2 teaspoon nutmeg, cup seeded raisins, cup entrants, IA cup shredded citron, IA cup candied cherries, 1-2 cup blanched and shredded almonds, 3 table spoons shredded candied orange peel, 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
 Put suet and apple through food chopper. Add sugar, molasses and milk. Mix raisins, entrants, cit- ron, cherries cut in halves, al- monds and orange peel and dredge with 1-2 cup flour. Mix and sift remaining flour with salt, soda and spices and add to first mixture. Add lemon juice and prepared fruit and mix thoroughly. Grease moldS well and fill two-thirds full. Cover close ly and bake in a slow oven (275 to 800 degrees F.) for one and one-half hours. Do not remove cover until ready to serve. Reheat in oven. Christmas Pastry (One Double Crust Pie)

 New York-Bird, beats or fish?
 Don't bother to guess. You can't lose. Any answer is right. That is of course, if you're talking about new jewelry gadgets for southern resort travellers as well as the rest of us who have to shiver and shake in spite of fur coats and hats.
 Finny Friends Portrayed
 A small alligator (sketched at lower right), with a catalin body cut to resemble scales, comes in every jewel tone under the sun. His short legs are spread out fiat so, when pinned securely on a sports dress. he appears to be climbing lazily upward. If you like, you can buy his twin. posed on a bracelet to match the pin.
 Another member of the menag- erie fraternity is a stunning green bullfrog Cleft center) with jeweled back, golden head and legs and bright red eyes. This and the tur- tie (center)in about the same size, are sure to appeal to college girls who'll min thrT, or sweaters.

Children love the dramatic. The Land-of-Let's-Pretend is a perfect Utopia for them, and as far as that goes for all the rest of us too.
 The week between Christmas and New Years Day, after the excite ment of new toys wears off, can be filled with good times if mother lays out a .ew o6ds and ends of clothes to dress up in.
 These must have as little reSem- blance to everyday clothes as pos sible. Otherwise children are not particular about their trappings. An old fedora with curtain-cord and tassels becomes cavaliers chapeau; add sisters rain cape and you have a whole cavalier. It's as easy as that.
 Possibly mother will have to suggest an idea as well as furnish a sheet and some pins. And move bed, or clear out the dining room. Otherwise she won't have to spend much time on the drama itself, for here ingenuity begins and her re- sponsibility ends. Because children like to invent, and they like to do their own dress ing. Otherwise it is not their show, but hers.
 Fall Back on Mother Goose" If she cannot think of any small story for them to act, she can always rely on Mother Goose" This pre- sents still further possibility for pantomime.
 Here an audience is necessary to guess the answers. So, if the house is big enough to hold half dozen extra. put out the bootscraper, set the bird cage and the best lamp on the mantle and have the miners do the rest.
 One can be Little Jack Horner, sit- ting in his corner and eating a tender piece of cardboard on a plate. Another Little Boy Blue. There are Humpty Dumpty, Mary-Mary, King Cole, Jack Be- Nimble and the other characters that every well-read child should know. The point is that It 1t is only a newspaper or a curtain, ! bllC ClOIklCS LlluoU AAOV NC AO6A AAesA , clothes, their own, that is ones, ; that go with meals and running errands and school.
 Directing Is Needless
 Older children are oft times able to make up their own shows. Per haps they can work out story they know. If they can be taught words to say and parts to act, then that is getting into real dramatic work. But this takes more time than a mother usually can spare and may well be left to its own field the time, the place and the teacher, or director. Here I am suggesting way to play at home on empty days.
 It is wise for the mother of g growing family not to throw out any gew-gaws or ornaments that can be used for dress up." A boz of such treasures may liven many g dull Saturday. Also the old lace ol satin or lame that seems to be fiji only for the ragman. Movies have given children a pretty good idea

Paris Styles

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris -- tU.P0 = Helms Christi mas collection embraces new clothes for winter sports. First of all there is the new blouse of printed cote ton. Tyrolean style, which is de- signed for wear with ski trousers instead of 8 heavy sweater at tea time or the cocktail hour. This new blouse is shown in ssmall, color full floral print on a black back ground, and is worn with black ski trousers.
 Another innovation is found in the new Wind Jackets" of thin rubberized silk in varying shades. One of the new jackets, worn with black trousers, is shown in cream color and is trimmed with black buttons. It has a snugly fitting hood which keeps out the wind and snow.
 The new skating dresses are equally practical. One in gray has a tailored jacket and midcalf cir cular skirt which hides 8 pair of gray bloomer-panties. Tall knit ted stockings in wine red are matched by red knitted gloves. Am other skating dress in gren tweed has bright red bloomer-panties be- heath a knee-length skirt. Long knitted stockings, mittc-lg and a knitted cap in red complete the out- fit.
 Helm makes a ski suit in brown and yellow with trousers like a mans plus fours in brown wool. With them is worn a brown and white striped sweater which is matched by socks and gloves, and a soft yellow twill jacket. The brown hat is trimmed in yellow braid and is shaped like thimble turned up- Side down.

Housing Hints Tips on How and What
 to Improve

o. Is it necessary to remove old wallpaper before hanging new?
 A.-If there is only one layer on the wall, and. that is good and tight, you may paper right over it. Only as much paste as is absolutely nec- essary should be used, and, if pos sible, the work should be done on hot, dry day, otherwise it may "blister'. If there are two or more layers they should be taken of.
 Q.-Is insulation board good material for g finished wall in a bedroom?
 A.-Insulation boards are made now with variety of designs and with concealed joints so they make a fine appearance. As far as their practicability is concerned they are perfectly all right for a bedroom. The finish is entirely matter of personal taste.
 al notice the smoke pipe of my furnace is quite close to the floor beams; had I better protect them?
 A.-Yes; by all means. Get some sheets of asbestos board or sheet metaLpreferably the former-and nail them across the beams above the pipe.
 Q.-The latch on one of my doors seems to be broken. How do take 8 lock off to examine it? A.-Presumably this is mortisec lock. If it is, unscrew one handle and pull out the spindle to which the handles are fastened. Then unscrew the screws in the face o1 the lock on the edge of the door The lock should then be free. There is probably broken spring-i1 there is, you had better take it tc the hardware store or locksmith fol repairs.
 Q.-Is there any way I can use the fireplace in one room to heat other rooms?
 A.-Yes; there are several devices on the market that use either warm air ducts or circulating hot water to carry the fireplace heat to othel rooms. Whenever the furnace il shaken the dust seems to come uI through the floor. How can I best prevent this?
 A.-If you have a single fiool above the cellar with open joistS. thu best thing to do would be to lay new floor over the old one, using good building paper between. Ii

.BEAUTK-'--''.'''' GIorifng
 Yourself

NEA SeFVlce Dt8M WEAtCE
 Shiny Hair, clear skin, pearly teeth, a supple figure = character istics which will be so important to your young daughter in the years to come-depend good deal on just how appearance-conscious you make her while she is little. The five-year-old who learns to take pride in her personal appearance is more likely to be lovely at IS than one who is allowed to neglect the small details of personal grooming.
 This doesn't mean, of course, that you have to make 8 child's life miserable all for the sake of her later beauty. It doesn't matter how many trees she climbs or how dirty her nails and face get, as long as she doesn't mind scrubbing and unpretentious grooming once play hours are over.
 Make Grooming a Privilege.
 Patiently explain to her that bathing, hair and tooth brushing and nail grooming are privileges not dull duties. In some way get across the idea that her playmates won't think she is a sissy merely because she takes a daily bath, brushes her teeth and the like. If necessary, make game of health and beauty routines. This should mt be too difficult. Brush and gadget manufacturers certainly are doing their part to make your life easier on this score.
 Miniature tooth brushes come with bright handles, often embossed with diminutive fairy tale figures. Long handled bath brushes in tiny sizes are more fun to use than or dinary wash cloths. One especially nice dresser set in a leather case is equipped with small hair brush, nail and tooth brushes, orange sticks for cleaning finger nails and a comb. One of these would be likely to revive your young offspring { interest in her looks. Tiny nail brushes are most inn portant. Each child. in the family should have one of her own. When she has learned how to use 1t point out to her the importance o1 carefully rinsing and of pushing back cuticle while she dries hei hands thoroughly.
 Brush Hair by Sections.
 After little girls sixth birth. day, she generally can be taught tt brush her own hair. The rules that apply to adult brushing routines should be followed closely. Show her how to part her hair in sec. tions, press the brush firmly against the scalp and draw it outward tt the ends of the hair, wiping ths brush after each stroke.
 Do all you can to make you children-boys as well as girls soap and water conscious. Theil faces can't be washed too often However, in cold weather, it's g good idea to use a bit of plain whits I vaseline or bland cream after thu i washing. If you're taking then south for a winter vacation, covel their faces, necks, arms and back with suntan lotion of cream before you leave them to play in the sant on the beach.

Style Chats

Paris (U.P)-An English fashion expert classifies red-haired women in three types and writes what each one should wear.
 In the first group are the girls with flame -colored hair and green ish eyes. They have the most dis tinctive coloring, although their skins are usually so thin and clear that they have freckles. This type should wear plain black or white with one splash of color in scarf, flower or jewel. Severe clothes are best and all deep, rich colors suit her. She should dress someberly so that her eyes and hair will dom- mate the color scheme of her clothes. She must never wear beige, as 1t makes her freckles more prominent.
 In the second group are those wit hcarrot-colored hair and pale, clear blue eyes. They look best in all shades of purple and lavender as well as in lime and olive greens. They will find that blue emphasizes their freckles, but if they are freckle-free it will be becoming color.
 The third type has gold-brown or hazel eyes and looks best in deep, rich browns, although they also can wear dull greens, dusty mauves and certain yellows.
 This fashion expert advises all red-haired women to stick to mono tones. as checks, stripes and large patterns drown out their delicate coloring. She says that cosmetic success depends upon the right shade of lipstick. which must never have an orange or purpiy-pink base. Powder should be darker than the natural skin tone, and If eyebrows and lashes are too light, they should be touched up with cinnamon brown and never black.

Today's Health Question

Q.-Are twins hereditary Is it likely that a man who is a brother to twins will be father of twins?
 A.-Twinning is hereditary, but seems gradually to diSap- pear from the stock. In cer- tain family pedigrees, twin- ming occurs about five times as frequently as in the gen. eral population.
 It seems fair to say that a man who is a brother of twins is about five times as likely to have twin children as is a man with no twins in his immediate family con-nec- tion.

 You needn't begrudge your child, or yourself. any candy, if either of vori has a sweet tooth. But you should be careful that it does not replace the more important foods in your diet.
 Candy should be eaten in addi- tion to the essential foods, not Ill nIace of them. Too much of such sweet substances will modify the nutrition seriously. Taken after a meal. however, sweets and sugars nroduce a sensation of satisfaction and do no harm.
 The desire of the average child for sweets may be simply the nat ,rraI demand of it's cells for carbo- hydrates, due to fatigue or to the fact that the chi1d's body is grow ing rapidly.
 But you should remember, also, that the child gets most of its car- bohydrates from cereals, potatoes, most vegetables, and other 1mpor- tant food materials.
 For years doctors thought that the eating of candy cause decay Of the teeth. Candies that are ex- fremely sticky and hard to chew may be bad for teeth and gums. But generally there is considerable doubt that the eating of sugars is in any way related to tooth decay.
 Manufacturers of candy have found that 52 per cent of the ma teriaI used in such sweets is sugar, and the remaining 48 per cent con- tains gelatin, cornstarch, corn si- rlip. molasses, nuts, fruits, eggs, butter, milk, chocolate, and similar substances.
 Many dietary experts suggest that we use the least sugar which will produce an acceptable flavor. One specialist points Nout that sugar creates sn appetite. not for. other foods, but for itself. The candy eater asks for more candy. not for bread and butter.
