An old brass bed can be modern
lied by repainting any color or style
you desire. But first wash the sur
face with a strong soap and water
or sal soda solution to remove all soil
and grease. When dry use a priming
coat of fiat paint and from there on
use any color that will fit into your
scheme Of things.
Remember that painting objects in
certain colors given them the appear
ance of altered weight. For instance,
red and orange gives the illusion of
heaviness, white yellow and blue lend
the appearance of lighter weight. The
same object appears larger when
painted white than when painted black.
WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Only woman pilot working for Uncle
Sam is Blanche Wilcox Noyes who
does the Civil Aeronautic Authority's
work of marking the Nations airways.
Those huge signs you see painted on
barn roofs, highways ,and prominent
rocks for the information of pilots are
under Mrs. Noyes' Supervision. The
Government furnishes the plans for
the program but the supplies and la
Dor are furnished by local and state
organizations. Part of Mrs. Noyes' job
is to address meetings and persuade
civic leaders to raise the money for
this Project. Formerly an actress,
Mrs. Noyes is able to lend charm and
persuasion plus knowledge of paint
chemistry and airport rating symbols,
to these meetings. She was a friend
of the late Amelia Earhart who was
responsible for giving feminine fiers a
niche in Government aviation.

PANTRY PALAVER
Now that the weather has turned
cool try having hot hors d'oeuvres for
your fall cocktail party. Make tiny
chicken croquettes-about as big as
your little fnger-and fry in hot fat
until golden crisp. Then there are
"pigs-in blankets" - tiny sausages
wrapped in rich pastry and baked in
the oven; there's the old favorite of
baking powder biscuits as big as fifty
cent piece in which a silver of ham
and cheese have been baked in the
center.
This is the season for peach deserts
now that they are cheap and plentiful.
There are so many ways to use peach
er; use them in the upside down cake
which is made in the skillet; use them
in Brown Betty instead of apples; or
peach bavarian with gelatine. (Re-
cepits in any good cookbook).

A little boys room like his pockets
should be his own business. The moth
er should provide little beyond a COM
Portable bed, big table, a chest Of
drawers and a chair or two. Leave the
rest to him-the decorative motive will
change as the boy changes, rejecting
each stage Of his boyhood interests.
If there is room to provide an en-
tire wall with built in shelves he'll love
it to park his "stuff," but let him fix
it up to suit himself.
