Remembering"
Qualities Of Poor
Furniture Polish

How often houseful of fine fur
niture and handsome woodwork is
spoiled by the use of a.poor furni-
ture polish! There are many pol
ishes on the market today-some
fair, some good, others excellent
for luster and long life of the fin
ish! The best is non-greasy, be-
cause made with a fine, ight-oil
base! In time, furniture and wood
work can be ruined by the per-
sistent application of cheap,
poor polish! Such polish will con-
tain kerosene, harsh abrasives
and harmful acids-destructive ell
ements, that are unseen and UNI
suspected! The housewife may
use one of these polishes, feeling
that she is economically keeping
her furniture polished-but this is
poorest economy, if she values
her furniture (and what house.
wife does not?). THE furniture in
home constitutes the largest
part of the furnishings-and will
show up like "sore thumbs" when
dried out, cracked or checked.
This is just what occurs, when
other than a reputable oil polish
is used! Too, a quality oil polish
is less expensive! Less is used at
one time-for it's undiluted. The
resultant glow is deeper, richer,
more lasting! Best of all, the fin
ish of the furniture and woodwork
is properly ''fed" and kept in
prime condition! So beware of
harsh, bargain polishes-for
through them, the furniture suf-
fers!

BY L. L. STEVENSON
BY L. L. STEVENSON

BY L. L. STEVENSON
Citadels sacred to men are falling
rapidly these days. The latest is
the l69-year-old Chamber of Com
merce of New York, which from the
beginning was an exclusively male
sanctuary. The entering wedge was
five years ago when the CUSTOM Of
holding an annual tea and reception
for the ladies was inaugurated. At
tendance at the annual dinner was
restricted to men, however, until
this year. Then, amid 1000 men
was one woman guest, Dorothy
Thompson, writer and news COM
mentator. Not only did she attend
but her photograph was taken with
the president of the chamber, Win
throp w. Aldrich. By coincidence
or plan-prints of the photos were
delivered during this years annual
tea. That caused Mabel Green Of
the Sun to do some investigating,
which resulted in the discovery that
the granite Liberty street headquar-
tiers of the chamber now actually
has powder room for women.
Furthermore, Miss Green found
that while the membership is ex-
clusively male-so far at least
there are number of women en-
ployees. The librarian is a woman.
There are two women secretaries
and four girl typists. There are
also several scrubwomen, and from
Is to 20 mattresses serve luncheons
to members. Women, however,
must report for work before the
arrival of male members and leave
after they depart. They can't ride
in the elevators with members
aither. Along with the elevators,
the portrait gallery, which includes
more than 800 likenesses Of those
who have become eminent, is ex-
clusively male.
Then there is the Fifth Estate
club, which has an exclusively male
membership. Speakers at the week
ly off-the-record meetings are al
ways men. But for some time
there have been numerous attempts
| to include women in meetings. Moth
ing happened, however, until Judge
Charles Oberwager took a hand.
He invited fellow members Of the
board of governors to meet at his
Park avenue home. The invitation
having been accepted, he let it be
known that the ladies were to be
included. Nothing could be done
about the matter. And the meeting
proved so enjoyable that the ladies
were invited to the first annual din
ner Of the club. The name of the
organization is due to the fact that
lit not only includes newspaper men
but magazine, stage, radio and
other writers-in fact all who deal
with the printed word.
Still on the subject of women,
there are hats. In the past, I've
made certain remarks about hats
which top women's heads. I take
back everything I've said in the
past. The reason is the present
styles. Judging by observation in
various parts of the town and from
swank cocktail bars to the theater,
my conclusion is that this year, the
more awful the hat, the more
stylish. Or the more funny, the
more stylish. Some other years
have produced some mighty bad
specimens but this years are the
final yell-at least so far as these
tired old eyes are concerned.
