away from the brighter patterns.
A dark plain color is much less
conspicuous, and you won't be
known soon as "the woman in the
lowered komono." Be sure to
have a bath bag too. roomy and
rubber lined, to carry your wash
rag, soap and other necessities.
Should have handles, and you
can get them with Upper pockets.
Protect Shoes
Pullman slippers in their own
case will not soil your clothes, and
you should have enough shoe bags
to cover all shoes, as you cannot
depend on keeping fresh tissue for
many packings and unpackings.
Get sturdy leather slippers. in a
leather case, and they will last a
long trip. You can get them in
colorS to match your robe.
Most boats have swimming pools,
so don't forget sandals or clogs
to wear around the pool, and a
good long terry cloth robe. The
house coat type, so fashionable
now, will be useful, and might serve
for negligee, too.
Rubber SOled Shoes
Deck shoes with flat or low
heels are a necessity. This year
they are available in abundance,
at any price you want to pay. Take
lots of stockings, as those you buy
abroad are far inferior to our own,
and expensive. Take a pair or so
of service weight for hard walking
trips and sightseeing. You'll be
glad!
Take a good sewing kit, small
and compact. Some foreign hotels
do not supply soap, so carry your
own. It's not necessary to take
any stationery except one pad to
use for writing on deck, and take
your own fountain pen. You'll find
the compact box of Jalma, which
is good for washing sweaters,
gloves, etc., will be a help, as it
does it's duty quickly and eff
GENTLY. Most of all, remember
not to take too much, especially
too many clothes.
The Washington times., 1937-07-14

This clever woman is not going
into the matter of clothing, for
she says most Of us know what to
take anyway. But there is a
multitude of small things that
most people never think of, when
planning a trip to Europe or a
cruise. We are listing many OF
them today, in the hope that when
you read our listing, you will make
your own private notations and
act accordingly.
Restrain Your Hair
Many people forget to provide a
headdress for wear on deck. Wild
winds will blow your wave right
out If you don't protect it in some
way. In other seasons it has been
hard to find the right thing, but
this year there is wealth to
select from. The halo, which you
see on three out of five women,
is all right for such purpose. SO
is the cute skull cap, worn by the
younger set. Fishnet scarfs are
smart, and some women prefer the
old.time net turban which is still
sold about town.
Unless you have pretty grand
quarters. you must make a date
with the bath steward and go
padding down to the bathroom
for your daily tub. Many people,
not realizing this, have an made
uuate robe. A long one makes you
feel best, thick enough to be pro-
tective. Many tailored travel
robes come with matching
pajamas, and make a grand
combination. It is well to stay

lew weeks.
A roast Of veal or lamb is a
good buy and can be served sliced
cold or blended in casserole on
the following night.
A novel method of roasting an
old favorite cut will appeal during
the summer. The breast of lamb
is excellent for roastS and can be
rolled in manner that makes the
size just right for cold sliced lamb
sandwiches.
This recipe for lamb can also
be used for breast of veal. In this
case, fresh spinach can be rolled
in the veal breast instead of par.
sley, to give it a different taste
and appearance.
Breast Of Lamb
1 breast of lamb
l bunch of parsley
2 teaspoons of salt
Have the breast of lamb boned.
Lay on the cutting board and
sprinkle generously with the salt.
Chop the parsley. Sprinkle over
the surface. Roll light like a jelly

Tie or sew together. Place in
boiling water to cover, add rest

And she can get proper exercise

When using the carpet sweeper

bend at the hip line, not at the

must not throw the shoulders for

girl figure will fade.
When reaching to dust the tops
of pictures, she should give hel
mid-section a good stretch and
come up on her toes.
If there's a baby in the house,
and part Of the days job consists
of picking up toys, make a game

bending the knees. Or drop the
body slowly, sending the knees out
the sides. It's grand for keeping
clear of happiness and too much
thigh area.
All eye shadows should be put
on lightly to be attractive. A
keen eye and a def hand are
necessary for a glamorous effect.
Blend in the shadow with the
finger tip. Avoid a distinct
border line. Keep small powder

shadows. And please do reserve
the coloring for evening. Day.

To give the older woman her
due, it is almost impossible for
such women to find work these
days, even if they're willing and
anxious to be independent.
Your attitude to this young
mans mother is so critical that
I doubt whether you could get
along together, all living under
one roof.
It seems to me the decision
rests with the young man
whether he wishes to put his
mother in an institution or marry
you.
But before influencing him to
do this, it might be well to bear
in mind that good son is sup
posed to make a good husband.

Resumed
On D. {. Schools

Halted for a week because of a
labor dispute, work was resumed
today on three District school
building projects.
The way was paved for settle
ment of the dispute after a ruling
last week by Secretary Of Labor
Frances Perkins, which classified
certain disputed phases of work
and predetermined the wage to be
paid. Union contractors and
building tradesmen complained
that unskilled labor was used by
open-shop contractors on the three
projects in certain work where
men receiving the bricklayerS' and
structural iron workers scales
should be paid. Secretary Per
kins' decision upheld the unions
contentious.
The projects are the Young and
Paul Junior High Schools, being
performed by John w. Hunt, and
the Grimke School, being done by
the Jeffress-Dyer Company.
Col. Dan I. Sutton ordered work
on the projects stopped a week
ago after a hearing with parties
involved. His action brought to
an end a threatened general strike
by union building tradesmen on
all municipal building projects.
