Shellac Only
Temporary

Shellac as a finish is not to
be recommended except for a
very hasty piece of work and
where it is not important that
the finish last any length of
time.
If the piece of furniture has
been previously stained and fin
ished, and then cleaned down,
or if it is a new piece that has
just been stained, shellac is the
logical thing to use.
However, shellac was never
meant for a surface finish, but
just as a filler of pores, a

able to one heavy coat. Each
coat should be rubbed down
with Sandpaper before the next
one is applied, for rubbing re-
moves any shellac left on the
surface.
The next coat may be applied
as soon as the preceding coat
has dried. AS a finished sur
face it is far too brittle for
permanency. It is better to
complete the finish with wax,
which. can be replaced once or
twice a year to keep the piece
in good condition.

LOVelOrn
His Fiancee Is
In Europe
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for
The Washington Times

Written Exclusively for
The Washington Times
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Its just part of my bad luck
that he should be engaged. His
fiancee is in Europe, and has
been there for over a year,
studying art in Paris-if he
were mine I wouldn't leave him
in this fashion.
"WelI, we met in the same
Government office, and fell for
each other, had several raptur-
Gus evenings together - then
out came the truth. He was
engaged, meant to do the
square thing and had been very
"wrOng" in falling for me.
"He asked me to forgive him,
and since that time has been
barricaded behind a stony wall
of indifference. Only - some
times 1 catch him looking at
me. MABEL"
Just how much of a "hands
off" policy a girl should main
tain toward another girls
fiance is a nice question. Some
feel that all is fair in love and
war, others do not.
AS you're aware the young
man looks at you when he
thinks himself unobserved, I
wouldn't be at all surprised if
you had a few more of those
rapturous evenings.
All said and done, the art
student should have remained
home and looked after her
fiance, rather than putting an
ocean between them.
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
"HOw can 1 find out if my boy
friend really likes me? I'm in
my early teens, he is about the
same age. In one of my letters
1 asked him if ne liked me. He
replied he liked me very much,
but that he couldn't say he loved
me, because that meant a great
deal to him.
''In one of my letters, I told
him / loved him. He replied ex.
pressing doubt that I knew or
realized the true meaning of
love.
HAS HER BRACELET
"But his niece says that he's
always talking about me. He
has a bracelet of mine which I
told him to return when he no
longer liked me. He still has it.
What should 1 do?
WONDERING"
You are still very young and
so~is this young friend of yours.
It seems to me that you are
having a nice time with these
preliminaries of the more Sc.
rious matters that will follow
in your experience of life.
I am very sure that you will
look back upon these days with
delight. But-don't take this
experience too seriously, please.

Local Stores Right

The Paris openings are just

them confirms the ideas we've

some of them: There will be

means of touches of soutache

CANT than anything we've had

Sauciers

Epicures have always ap-
proved the taste of fish, and
the correct preparing and serv-
ing of fish still confers pres
tige on the host.
Many people, however, do not
know how to prepare and serve
fish correctly. For this reason
canned fish is particularly popu-
lar. It comes to us perfectly
prepared, and ready to be en-
HANGED, if we like, by simple
cooking methods, or merely
with delicious sauces.
Sauce makers used to be
known as sauciers, in the mid
die ages of France, and they
were licensed by the municipal
ity to sell sauces to royalty
and townsmen. Their tradi"
ditions may still be traced in
some of our best fish sauces
served today.

The back has panels that are
fastened under the hemline, sug-

Yes, this attire for the groom,
as you have outlined it, would
be appropriate. The gloves would
be appropriate. The gloves
would not, of course, be worn
during the ceremony. And I
like the idea of the grey hat
rather than the black derby.

Hint
Tomato Skins

One way to loosen the skin
of a tomato so it will come off
easily, is to plunge the tomato
into boiling water for a couple
of seconds, then into cold;
another way is to place the
tomato on a fork and hold over
a gas flame until the skin
cracks. The effect will be the
same as when dipped into boil
ing water.

SHOWER


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My girl friend is to be mar
ried the latter part Of the sum-
mer. Do you think it would be
too early to have a shower for
her this month?
"The husband.tO.be lives i'm a
distant city and it will be in
convenient for him to be here.
Would it be appropriate to have
the shower without his being
present? S."
Showers usually aren't given
so far ahead of the wedding
date, but, if there is some Spe.
cial reason or convenience for
your giving it now, and if the
bride-to-be is agreeable to this
arrangement, there's really
nothing against giving it now.
Usually men aren't invited to
showers. But if to your shower
you are inviting both girls and
men, then it would be best to
wait for some time when the
fiance is to be in town and can
be present.
