Ny Neighbor Soys:

Here is a suggestion for clean
ing and softening alligator skin.
Brush of the bag or shoes thor
oughly with soft brush or cloth,
then rub well with one teaspoon
of petroleum jelly mixed with
six drops Of glycerin. After 1t
has set for half an hour, wipe
on any surplus grease and pol
ish with soft, dry cloth. This
will help prevent the leather
from splitting.
Be careful not to season meat
gravies so much that they lose
their characteristic flavors.
Usually salt and pepper or pap
rika are enough. If you like a
prepared meat sauce, add only a
dash. Better yet, pass the sauce
and let the family use what
they please.
Try this candle arrangement

Grooming
Necessary Aids Are
Efficiently Held
In Carry.Alls
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Americans are considered a rowing
race. They think nothing of dashing
miles for a week end visit, or taking
a cross-country tour in a ten day
hohday So naturally much thought
has been given by commercial de-
signers to creating bags and carry
alls for the grooming aids a metic-
ulous lady needs en- route and after
she arrives.
Most recent among these inno-
vations Is a bag which resembles
a mans collar bag, but deeper and
more spacious and with little di-
agonal upper pockets on the out
side for those little things like
curriers', hair pins, safety pins, fresh
powder puffs and the like, which
make a mess of packing If they are
thrown in with ones creams and
brushes. It will be the delight Of
many woman come Christmas, and
if you haven't yet thought of the
perfect gift for nomadic lady or
college girl-here is hot tip!
One comes in red or peacock blue,
white and black velvet stripes. or
multicolored stripes. Tucked away
in its convenient pockets are cologne,
tale. sachet, soap, perfume, lipstick,
rouge and mascara, and a plastic
powder container with puff. There
is still room for your other favored
and essential aids!
If you are planning a jaunt be
certain to carry all the grooming
aids you might possibly need. If
you are in the habit of using three
creams at home, don't figure you
can get along with one while you
are travelling or after you reach
your destination. The trick Is to
take along a bag or case which will
accommodate all the aids you habit
ually use and perhaps few you will
find very handy while you roam.
Space may be saved by carrying
a simmer hair brush, smaller
quantities of creams and lotions
(or those which come in capsules) =,
a combined manicure and pedicure
set, handkerchief size tissues, har-
monized makeup in small box
or that which comes in an artist
type paint box offering you a selec-
ton Of shades. Take few minutes
and inspect cosmetics which are
packaged specifically for the traveller
you will be surprised at the sug-
gestions offered you.
From the day you leave home
until you return, you should be
meticulous in your grooming. No
shortcuts should be condoned. It
is possible to keep as sweet smelling,
as smoothed skinned, as lustrous of
hair on plane or train or boat, as
it is at home, providing you carry
adequate beauty aids. You will
enjoy your trip more and perhaps
lure romance If you present q per-
fectly groomed person to your fellow
gypsies! 1t is a frightful feeling
to be caught not looking your
most lovely when you meet attract
i've strangers, bump into an old
friend, or when you are invited
impromptu to join a party for q
lark. Keep groomed always, then
you will be prepared for whatever
pops up on your trip.

Of the
Nj m e n t

The man who thinks he can al
ways explain everything so lucidly
is usually the man who makes 1t
so complicated that you want to run
when you see him.
He is the sort who, when you
say, "I don't understand the first
thing about proportional represen-
tation," will get right down to
business. He will tell you all about
1t. with gestures, pencil, graphic
demonstrations, and hours of talk.
If you know your man. and know
that he is likely to go of into
elaborate explanations of every
thing from the development Of the
coconut to the reason for the de-
cline of the Roman Empire, then
your trick is to be very knowing.
Never say that you don't under
stand a thing. Then he will never
have an excuse for getting started.
II you don't know about him,
though, and are caught unawares,
then you will simply have to make
him feel, after the first two minutes
of harangue, that he is so very
lucid you understand the whole
thing clearly already. You may cut
him off early, and then again you
may not. JEAN.

Only Paragon Could Live Up
To Most Wives Expectations
"I am miserably conscious" write

II am miserably conscious" writes
. man, that I do not come UP to
my wife's ideal as husband, and
there are times when I catch her
gazing at me with I-wonder- what
made-me-do-it look in her eyes. AL
the other married men that I know
seem to be in the same box that
I am and fail to give entire satisfac-
ton to their better halves. Yet,
as such domestic animals go, we are
pretty good run-of-the-mill hus-
bands. We are moral and faith
full, domestic and good providers,
and we strive to please, but as we
appear to fall down somewhere on
the job we would like to know whats S
the matter with us and what sort OF
husbands women really want?"
Well, what's the matter is that
women are human beings. and no
human being ever got exactly what
he or she wanted, even in a wife
or husband, and the reason that no
husband ever comes up to his wife's
expectations is because he would
have to be superhuman to do So
Every woman would like her hus-
band:
To be ice to all the balance Of the
world, but fire to her.
Strong and masterful, but mush
in her hands.
A ruler among men, but who
meekly submits to her henpecking.
Handsome, but not such a good
locker as to present an invidious
contrast to herself and cause peo-
pie to say: What on earth do you
suppose made him marry that
dowdy little woman?"
Charming to other women, but
never charmed by them, and to
tell how bored he was with his
dinner partner and how the f1apper
he danced with stepped on his feet
Always ready to step out of an
evening If she feels like having a
fling among the bright lights, no
matter what hard day he has had.
Never to fail to punch the home
timeclock on the dot. Never keeps
dinner waiting. Never brings home
unexpected company. Never, never
stays downtown to play little
poker with the boys.
Ask permission to go to the corner
drugstore to buy a package Of
cigarettes.
Let her pick out his clothes and
regulate his diet.
Eat what is set before him without
criticism or complaint and make no
ribald comments upon being fed out
of paper bags and tin cans.
Never dream of such a thing as
having any authority in the house
which he supports. Let her push
him around into any old place
that she or the children are not
using.
Welcome her family with open
arms and spend money entertain
ing them, but don't presume to in
flict his folks on her.
Call her temper nerves and soothe
and pet her out Of tantrum.
Understand that delicate, nerv-
Evening star., 1940-11-29

GUS, temperamental creature, such
as she is, can't be expected to get
up and get breakfast, or keep q
clean house, or do anything to
make q mere husband comfortable.
Be a good father. Work himself
to death to provide his children
with fine clothes, expensive schools,
automobiles and trips, but take no
part in their upbringing or forming
their characters. Leave that abso-
lutely to her.
Be great lover. Keep on kissing
her whether she stays kissable or
not. Never cease telling her how
beautiful and wonderful she is.
Never take anything she does for
granted. Ballyhoo everything she
does as a marvellous achievement.
Make plenty of money, but never
let business interfere with his tax
ing her to afternoon teas and spend
ing the winter in Florida and the
summer in the mountains.
Never grumble about bills.
Never expect any cooperation
from her, or any appreciation. or
for her to do anything toward max
ing their marriage success
That is about the kind of hus-
hand that every woman would like
to have, and it Is no wonder she
doesn't get him. He doesn't exist.

Wise Soldier
Studying
Draftee Returning
To Civilian Life
Will Profit
BY ANGELO PATRL.

We are about to raise an army
for the defense of the republic. Our
youth Is being commanded to shoul-
der arms. To my mind the best de-
fense this country can have is an
intelligent citizenry. All the drill
that could possibly be crammed into
years of military training would DO
useless unless the minds of the SOL
diers were enriched and developed
to the highest possible degree. 7
have no good word for the idea that
a soldier is not to think Tomorrow's
soldier is going to think and think
straight and fast If he is to stay
live soldier. and this living nation.
1t is good to train our young peo-
pie to work together for common
purpose, to live simply, follow a rou-
tine, obey those placed in authority.
Skill in military matters will be
worth while for them to acquire
even if they are never called upon
to us 1t in war. But there ought to
be more than that in Army and Navy
life. There should be a continuation
Of education for all enlisted men and
officers so that by the end of the
training period, when military serv-
ice is completed, the men will return
to civil life better able to take their
places than when they left.
The young people do not relish
leaving home, jobs, study, old asso-
Citations and cherished plans for liv-
ing to enter the Army. 1t is not that
they fear physical injury as much
as they fear loss of place and power
back home. If they knew that they
were to continue to grow in skill,
ability and power they would not
feel so badly about the matter. II
they knew that they would have op-
portunity for growth in ways that
would improve their social and fl
nancial status after their period of
service was over, they would rejoice.
The morale of the group would be
higher, there would be fewer discip-
linary cases and fewer patients in
the infirmary.
1t seems to me that we owe this
education to the boys we take from
their usual way of life to serve our
need The cost would not be too
much The camp itself is the edu-
cational institution. The officers are
the instructors, and If there are not
enough of the kind needed more can
be recruited from industry and edu-
cation.
We are continually being told that
in the new life of tomorrow we shall
need to be tough" I know of no
tougher thing on earth than an idea
born of an intelligent mind. If we
develop that idea until it becomes
an ideal, and if we train our boys
and enrich their minds, increase
their skills and discipline their way
of life, we shall have a force that
no enemy can ever destroy.
There is no reason why our Army
and Navy cannot be used as educa-
tional forces through which our boys
acquire culture, skills, ideals of serv-
ice beyond those which are usually
set by military training. We want
intelligent men first. The rest comes
easily.

One nice thing about this clever
design is that it suggests so many
different effects that you can add
loads of variety to your wardrobe,
just by repeating It variously. The
waist-hugging jacket blouse can be
made with narrow roll collar, or
with Y1otched collar and wedge
shaped pockets. 1t can match the
