Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hsrs
NEA Service Staff Writer

In the midst Of New Year reSo- lutions to take better care of your skin, figure, nails and hair, 1t might be a good Idea to think for a mos ment or two about the loveliest older woman you ever have seen.
 Try to remember how she looked,
 Was 1t her makeup, coiffure, clothes and general appearance of being weli-groomed which caught and held your admiring attention? Or was 1t her eyes and smile?
 Be honest, now. It was the last two, wasn't 1t? Or at least per- haps a combination of both.
 Think about her little more what she said and how she said It, the way her face lit up when you made a simple gesture of friend- Illness, how her eyes used to sadden when she heard of others troubles and worries.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Suede shoes can be given new
life by polishing with plenty of or
binary shoe polish and hard rub
bling. They will be better for wear
ing in bad weather.
Almost all fruit stains may be
removed by soaking them in boil
ing water. In case any member
of the family upsets a cup Of
chocolate or tea, use cold water
to remove the spot. In the case
of coffee, pour boiling water from
a height; brushing the stain with
borax beforehand helps.
Removing Mud Spots.-Always
allow mud spots to dry and then
they can be quickly brushed or
rubbed off without leaving any
stain.
An excellent light crust for meat
pies can be made with half -four
and half freshly cooked and
mashed potatoes. Less fat is re-
quired than when all flour is used.
Seven drops of lemon juice add
ed to a pint of cream before whip
ping it will cause it to beat up in
less than half the time it would
without the juice.
Economy te.-Sman pieces Of
toilet soap that accumulate in the
bathroom should not be thrown
away. Add water enough to COW
er them and put on stove until
dissolved. This makes an excel
lent soft soap.
Even Curtains.-If curtains will
not hang evenly, slip a rod through
the lower hens and let it remain
a few days.
For Greater Care in Kitchen
The chief causes of home acct
dents are falls, burns, scalds and
explosions; one-tl1ird of home ia
talities happen in the kitchen.

Homemade Paste. - Combine
one quart water, one cup sugar,
one cup flour and one tablespoon
powdered alum. Cook until clear,
then add 80 drops oil of cloves and
cool. Result: paste enough to keep
the little folks busy with their
scrapbooks and whatnots for many
happy hours.

flavor and freshness.
Quick-frozen foods are a good tip
for the homemaker who values her
leisure and her manicures! All the
grubby preparation tasks are done
before the freezing, so kitchen duty
is practically cut in half! That
means that frosted or quick-frozen
foods are wise choice when you're
