BUYING SILK HOSE
Penny Wise:

II OAAAA y w AO~S
"I aDant some SeOen thread
smoker tan silk hose to 1DeGr 1Dith
1DalHci1lg shoes. Size 912. Please
measure them to see that they are
80 inches long 1Dith an 11-inch
stretch at the top and Finch
stretch across the inStep."
DENNY didn't specify full
l. fashioned hose but her des-
cription verefies it. She asks
for seven thread because she
cannot expect wearing quality
from thinner hose which she
expects to wear with heavier
shoes and for active life. She
states a foot size which she
knows is amply long. She tells
the leg length and then checks
it to see if there is stretch
enough in the circumference to
allow the stocking to be as long
as she desires. A manufacturer
is supposed to use IA inches
of needles in the circumference
of a knitted stocking. Sometimes
he reduces the number Of
inches, thereby decreasing the
stretch and the leg length ac-
cordingly. These hose are not
a bargain at any price unless
one has short thin legs. BY ex-
amining the stretch to see if it
measures IL inches, Penny can
tell whether or not the manu-
facturer has played fair. She
measures the instep to test
elasticity and look for flaws at
that point.

Beauty Counsel By Donna Grace

a party and think prizes Of lipsticks would be
nice, Do you think this would be appropriate?
We are high school girls ard have planned on
getting six prizes-all npstickS. BURMA.
Dear Burma:
/ think the plan would be good one, but
would suggest that you have some variety in
the shades. Make nice little packages tied with
light and dark red ribbons.
Dear Donna Grace:
My lips are always chapped and I look as If
I were not wellgroomed. What can I do for
them please? D. M.
Dear D. M:
You may have habit of biting or wetting your
lips. If this is your trouble you will always have
chapped lips. Be sure you are in good health.
Chapped lips are often an indication OF some
physical disturbance. Drink plenty Of water, get
enough out-of-doors exercise, or at least regular
periods of deep breathing no tight clothing.
Then for the treatment, make thick creamy
lather of soap and warm water and use your
complexion brush to scrub the lips thoroughly;
rinse well and pat thoroughly dry; then massage
well with tissue cream. Leave the cream on ana
never wet the lips with your tongue.

DEITY might get better wear
II ing hose if she took more
pains in purchasing those that
suit the purpose for which she
plans to use them and if she
knew what points to consider
in selecting good hose. She can't
expect durability from party
hose on the golf course. She
thinks only in terms of foot
size, when the leg length and
stretch may be more important
factors in her case. She talks
in terms of guage but she
doesn't realize that unless the
manufacturer uses the entire
number of needles on the
needle bar that the guage, or
number of needles to the 1a
inches, can mean little. For
example, if he uses 81 inch and
a half guage for the IA inches
he will have 504 loops in the
circumference of the hose. If
he reduces the needle bar two
inches and still keeps 81 needles
per inch and a half he uses only
432 loops in the circumference.
If Betty buys cheap 81 guage
hose this latter is likely what
she received.

Children KnouO
When It's Merited

There is what we might def
nitely call deserved" praise:
The young daughter who, to
please you, washes all the lunch
dishes and starts supper when
you have had to be away; the
boy who keeps his promise not
to fool any more about going to
bed when you call him; the dis
orderly little girl who remem-
bers sometimes to put away her
toys and hang up her clothes;
the boy who consciously will say.
What, mcther?" instead Of
"What?"-these children have
consciously worked for some
thing they know you consider
desirable. They deserve praise
and should get it. And, incident
ally, children know when they
deserve praise, either by their
behavior or their achievement
in work or play, and when they
don't.
Praise is tonic, heart-warming
and constructive, and encourag-
ing. Watch yourself and see
that you use it generously.
