Mirror Coasters

A GAIN we suggest something for
"A your table - mirror coasters.
You think at once how practical
they will be, as a mere polishing
will keep them in order all the
time, but their good looks are hard
to suggest to you, without your
seeing them. They we're displayed
with ruby and crystal stemwars,
a serving size used for fruit cock
tail glass, and smaller sizes used
for goblet and wine glasses. They
make a brilliant and gay table,
and with a mirror under your
center decoration, you have table
that is both modern and smart.
They come in sets of five, four
small ones and one large one, and
in blue or crystal. The set of five
in crystal is 75c, and in blue is 81.
OF course they can be used in the
living room too, and are nice, es-
pecially in a modern room.

My grandmother and aunt, who
live near here, were there and
helped to make our stay pleasant.
We quite often drive the few miles
to see them when they are at
their home.

send a gift to each of these three,
or just to my uncle since it was
his home in which we were enter
tanned? 1 am writing letters Of
thanks to my uncle, aunt and

send gifts, too?

they return in two weeks.

Since all of these people were
so especially hosp liable and
thoughtful to you and your hus-

The caloric requirement of
growing children is very i'm
portant. If they are under
weight the question of how to
increase the caloric require
ment in an appetizing fashion
is important. A diet that is
simple and varied with a lib
eral use made of milk, cream
and vegetables is recommended
Ice creams, SherbetS, cooking
cereals in milk instead of water,
milk buildings of various kinds
are all ways of using milk.
Nutritious buildings that are
easily digested should play an i'm
portant part in such a weight
gaining program. By using choco-
late, these rich desserts have a
widespread appeal. Chocolate is
always a best seller.
Real chocolate fans who simply
can't get enough insist on choco-
late ice cream with chocolate
syrup, or chocolate cake with
chocolate ice cream.

LOVeIOrn
Girl, 81, Wants
Lasting Union
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Several of my friends have
rushed in and out of marriage
with such rapidity as to terrify
me regarding the holy state.
am heSitating about marrying q
certain man because his brother
had one of those quick-in-and-OUt
marriages. 1t lasted exactly six
months, then Reno and divorce.
Il am "a, have been in an Of.
flee for two years. I've always
lived at home, but / must say /
don't know much about house
work because mother is one Of the
maSterful kind who imagineS no
one else can wash a teacup as
well as she. And it has always
been a hands off policy for
me at home.
IF I marry I want to stay mar.
ried and be a real Old-faShiOned
type of wife, which to my way of
thinking seems the happiest life
for me. PEGGY"
AS long as you have these ideas,
my dear Peggy, marriage would
seem safe destiny for you. You
will regard it as a job, not as a
Irritation under the auspices of
church and state.
You tell me you've had an office
job for two years. That required
preparation, didn't it? AS a
stenographer, you wouldn't expect
to be employed before you knew
how to spell, or make those queer
little characters which stand for
words.
Learn to keep a household bud
get and practice on your own
salary first. Learn how to set an
attractive table, for our eyes ap-
prove and make appetizing what
We are about to eat.
If you marry, take an interest
in your husbands business; learn
how to receive his business friends
and make them welcome at your
home. Don't be froWSy and,
lastly, cultivate a sense of humor.
Marriage is a job all right, but
it's sadly overcroWded by anna
teurS who remain amateurs.

w ITH wooden accessories
w used everywhere, and
adding their chic to your
clothes as well as your house,
we think you might like to
hear about a new collection of
woodenware for the table,
which one of the downtown
stores is showing. There are
the things that have been avail
able before, such as salad bowl
sets, consisting of mixing bowl,
spoon, fork and small bowls
for individual serving. Then
there are all sizes and shapes
in highly polished plates, for
salads, hors d'ouvres, cake,
nuts, fruits, or whatever you
choose to use them for. Some
clever hostesses use an entire
wood setting for a buffet sup
per, for an after-the-theater
bite to eat, and even for
luncheon or breakfast. It's i'm
possible to quote prices, for
they are so varied, but if
you're interested in wood at
all, you should investigate.
There are various woods, too,
maple, darker woods, lighter
woods, and some stunning cut
lery with wooden handles.

They're of an excellent supple,

A very recent development in use
at some beaconS is an additional ra-
dio beam that penetrates the air
vertically. This actuates an auto
matte radio device upon some planes
so that red light flashes upon the
planes instrument board when the
plane cuts across this vertical beam.
Supplementing all these automatic
radio devices is the radio telephone
by which the pilot talks directly
with the dispatcher of an airport or
the operator of a communications
station located at an intermediate
landing field.
This enables him to ask for assist
ance, to receive instructions for
landing, and what is extremely i'm
portant, to receive bulletins upon
changes in the weather.
The weather service, supplied by
the United States Bureau of Air
Commerce and the United States
Weather Bureau, constitutes one of
the most important aids to aviation.
Weather reports are distributed
over 1879 miles of teletypewriter
service and over the radio.
An hourly report is made by the
airway weather reporting stations
according to a schedule in which
stations report in sequence. This in
formation is given: Name of sta
ton, ceiling, sky conditions, VISIBLE
ity, general conditions, wind direc-
ton and velocity, temperature, dew
point. and barometric pressure. If
unusual field conditions or abnor-
NAL weather phenomena exist, they
are reported also.
Emergency reports are broadcast
when conditions warrant. At six
hour intervals, weather maps and
general forecasts are given. These
more comprehensive reports are
made at 2 a. M, a. M, 2 p. m. and
p. m.
Thus the pilot has at his COM
mand at all times, the weather re-
porting service of the United States
government, the help of radio and
visual signal systems, and the adj
vice of airport dispatchers.
His position is known and
watched from the time he leaves
one airport until he arrives at the
next. He isn't just flying the open
sky. He's flying Uncle Sans sky
roads.
