SHARE A HOUSE:
Over in Virginia in q very

a small house Of four rooms,
kitchen and BATH which she
would like to share with another
congenial person. She would
prefer lady, one who likes the

land along with the house that
she has turned into a garden.
They would have their own
separate bedrooms and all the
privileges Of the house the same

The owner is only asking $50

one stipulation, that is, that the
lady is employed in the Gov.

Prepare The
Wood

Sometimes purchasing an un-
painted piece Of furniture and ap.
plying the paint yourself is great
economy. YOU can make it just
the color you want it, perhaps
matching another piece, a feat
which might have been quite i'm
possible if you had had to buy an
already painted piece.
The wood in such unfinished
furniture occasionally shows some
rough places, which should be
rubbed down with steel wool or
No. / sandpaper. Then go over
the whole surface with No. 90
sandpaper. Rub across the grain
first and then with the grain to
finish it evenly.
Sandpaper
If you are going to use sand.
paper on a flat surface, you will
find that it works more easily if
wrapped around small block of
wood. The block should be just
large enough to handle easily. AS
soon as the sandpaper begins to
wear down, start with a fresh
piece. It always leaves a fine dust
which must be carefully wiped off
since otherwise it mixes with the
paint, resulting in sanded sur
face, which is undesirable.
Before Applying
When the piece is clean and
smooth and dry, there are still
other preparations to make be-
fore you can begin to apply the
selected paint.
If the wood is new and shows
any knots, they must be covered
with a coat of shellac to bind in
any possible pitch that might
later leak out and spoil the newly
painted finish.
If the furniture is made Of vel
low pine or cypress and conse-
quently has lots of pitch, it is best
to cover the entire surface with a
sealing coat Of Shellac.
If you are using oak or chest
nut or mahogany, which have a
coarse grain, the pores of the wood
must be filled with a paste filler
before any paint is applied. This
paste filler may need to be
thinned; follow the directions on
the can. AS soon as the filler
starts to set-it will look rather
flat and dull in some spots-Wipe
it off with soft cloths, rubbing
across and then with the grain.
Since this filler is only for the
purpose Of sealing up the pores,
none of it need be left on the sur
face, and it should be thoroughly
wiped off.
After a prime coat has been
applied (f the wood is new or
after the surface has been cleaned
down to a smooth, painted surface
If the piece is ODD, all nail-holes
and cracks should be filled in.
Sandpaper lightly before applying
the next coat.

would think, could 1 ask? And
vet the truth is that I believe
it would be better If I didn't

that would be the end Of every
thing for me.
II don't mean that there's
any danger, at present, OF
Toms stepping out with some
other girl. But what I dread is
something worse than that. I'll
try to tell you.
"You see, all our relatives and
all our friends expect us to have
a baby. Tom himself expects 1t.
I might like it, tOo-perhaps.
'But suppose we had a little
daughter. Suppose Tom became
crazy over her. Some men do,
you know. Suppose that in a
few years he really idOlized her,
preferred her to me. Could I
endure that? Not for a mo-
ment!
"YOu may think this Is un.
likely. 1 know it is not. I grew
up, myself, at the heart Of just

moment my father loves me
more than anything On earth.
Much more than he loves my
mother. She knows it, naturally.
And as I'm the only child, what
comfort has she?

ByMRs.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have just received an an
nOuncement of commencement
exercises from a girl cousin Of
mine who resides in another
State. Please tell me whether
or not I should write her q note,
or send her a gift?
"In either event, kindly sug.
gest something that would be
proper for a young man to say
or send. We are not very well
acquainted as we have not met
since childhood. S."
Under the circumstances it
isn't at all necessary for you to
send her a gift. But it would
be "cousin-ly" and gracious Of
you either to write her a note
Of best wishes, or to send her
a. telegram Of congratulations
to arrive, if possible, on the
morning of her graduation.
Your telegram might read,
"Dear Mary, every good wish
and deepest congratulations to
you on your graduation. We
are all thinking Of you affec-
tionately on this important
day."
Your note might begin:
'Dear Mary:
eve are all very delighted and
happy that you sent US the an.
nOuncement Of your graduation,
and we all send you deepest
thanks for your thOughtfulneSs.
We're proud Of you, dear cousin,
and we wish you every happi-
ness and success in the new
happy days that we heartily
pray are coming to you.
I'D love to hear more about
you, and what your plans are
to be. It's such a very long
time since we have seen each
other, and I hope now that Fate
will have our paths cross sOOn."
tThe rest of your letter would
naturally be informal chatting
about the news of your family.)

couldn't bear the thought Of re-
peating my mothers experience.
Then Tom came along, and I
surrendered. But what shall I

a child that doesn't exist"
This fear, like every other, has
to be squarely met and bravely
displaced. The fear itself is
worse than any reality could be.
Besides, it is only very rarely
that family histories are re-
peated.
More than most young wives,
Marjorie needs a baby-in fact,
several babies. Nothing else will
cure her Of this morbid fear
that obSesseS her.
Once she becomes absorbed by
her love for her children, by the
effort Of caring for them, by the
knowledge that she and her Tom
are much more closely knitted
together by parenthood than
they could possibly be without
it, I'm sure this black shadow
will vanish from her sunny life.

Beauty
Skin Masque

Unfortunately, we sometimes
find that our faces have taken
on new tired lines and puffs
under the eyes!
1t seems that just when We
wish to look our most devastat-
ing, all our fatigue takes its
toll and we look tired, worn
and old.
Well, to meet such emergen-
cies, you actually have to have
a skin masque-one of those
products that assures an in
slant rejuvenation of the skin
and keeps you looking that
way until you can throw your
self in bed to catch up on your
rest.
Frankly I do not believe in
maSqueS for the very young.
Youth should be in bed getting
it's rest and preserving its
beauty.
I'm not saying that you will
look as fresh and young as

lovely Alice Faye, for instanc
after you have given your ski

assure you that your skin will

still will have to get that rest!
A cream maSque Is the most
convenient form to use. If yor
haven't already experienced the
reviving qualities of the latest
of these, you have a treat in
store for yourself. You apply
it just as you would a nourish-
ing cream, after thoroughly
cleansing and drying your skin.
Fifteen minutes will work
wonders, but If your skin is
tough or if you are very tired,
leave it on an hour, or even
overnight. Wash it off with a
bit of warm water and you
have actually had a bit Of a

lovely. So are coats Of white
cotton lace, starched lace or or

gowns in dark colors. Capes are
in favor at the moment. Those
Of double net are effective in
white or in light pastels to
match a frock. A new idea is to

with taffeta. It's smart to wear
