have been taught before marriage,
but they do it at terrible cost to
themselves and their husbands.
The success of marriage de-
pends more upon the wife being a
good housekeeper than upon any
other one single factor. A family
travels on its stomach, as Napoleon
said an army did, and whether a
husband and children are strong
and healthy or weak and sickly is
mostly a matter of the way they
are fed.
No other remedy for keeping a
husband at home is so efficacious
as a good dinner. Nor can the
average husband make any head
way in accumulating a fortune
against a wife who doesn't watch
the bills, for it is eternally true
that a woman can throw more out
of the back door with a teaspoon
than a man can throw in with a
shovel.
And with all of these facts star
ing them in the face, isn't it a
shame that mothers don't teach
their daughters how to cook before
marriage instead of leaving them
to experiment on their poor young
husbands?

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have rented my house for the
summer and find that some one was
very careless with table tops. There
are rings on three small tables in
the living room, evidently from
moisture, and two milky white
spots on. the dining room table. I
cannot have these reflnished right
now, and it seems to me that you
once printed directions in the
column for removal of similar
stains. Would you be good enough
to print them once again?
MRS. L. J.
Answer-You are not the only
one in similar difficulties for I have
three letters this week asking the
same advice, and here it is for all
three. Moisten a soft clean cloth
with a few drops of spirits of
camphor. Pat or rub gently over
the white place on your table. 1t
will turn very dark and disappear.
After 20 minutes polish with furni-
ture polish or wax. Do not rub hard
with the camphor as it will remove
all the finish. I do not recommend
this for permanent procedure, but
it will make you feel much better
about your furniture until such time
as you can have it ref1nished.

Faults
Renedied by
Suggested Routine
Should Improve
Appearance
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Few are the girls or women who
have perfect figures. Most of us
have a major figure fault and a
couple of minor ones. But, thank
heaven, it is possible to correct them
if we have a mind to do so. The
hardest step to take is to admit
our figures need improvement and
then to determine to improve them.
A simple way to work up to a
conditioning exercise program is
to begin with just one exercise and
practice it diligently every day.
That will convince you exercise is
beautifying and you will soon seek
other corrective movements. In no
time at all you will be beauty!
Begin by practicing one exercise
from these given today.
To firm f1abby stomach muscles
Lie fiat on back, arms parallel with
body. Bend knees back to abdomen.
clasp them with hands and pull
them back as far as chest thus
ldAolIlS lilpS 3 llOO.
3 or inches. Lower hips but keep
knees bent. Pull them back to chest
again. Repeat five times first day
and increase one time for one week.
To slim waiStline: Sit on the
floor with legs wide apart, knees
slightly relaxed and supported by
hands placed on the floor just be-
hind the hips. Push abdomen out
to right, back, left, thus making a
complete circle as you would in a
hula-hula dancel Consciously tighten
the stomach muscles as you circle.
Circle five times first day. Increase
one time each day.
Timber back and reduce hips:
Lie on the floor, swing both legs
up into the air and keep them
up by supporting self with hands
placed at waistline. Draw right
foot down to touch left knee
Return to original position, then
draw down left foot down to touch
right knee. Return to original posi-
ton and stretch both legs up into
air as far as possible and slowly
lower them.
Practice this exercise until you
so master your balance that you
can do it without supporting your
body with your hands placed on
waistline.
Posture exercise: Stand up
against wall Make yourself grow
tall by stretching upward from the
waist. See that your knees and
calves are together but not thrown
back. Pull your abdominal muscles
in and up. Raise your head, lift
your chin. stretch your neck. Bring
your chest up and out but see that
your shoulders are down and back.
You are now in good posture. Walk
away from the wall and hold the
position. Walk with ease and grace
about the room. Practice this every
day until good posture is an un-
conscious habit.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:

I have only two windows in my
small living room and l am very
eager to have draperies under a
valance board that may be opened
and closed with a pull cord. I
understand that this is quite COM
plicated arrangement and wondered
If it is possible to purchase the
necessary equipment, or can I do it
myself? Can you send me direc-
tions and a list of materials? Also.
I would like to paint my valance
boards to match a turquoise shade
in my drapery material. Are these
very expensive to buy? If so, can
Evening star., 1940-09-20
you tell me what materials to use
to construct them myself?
YOUNG MARRIED

Answer-As you have only the
two windows, would suggest that
you buy the equipment. You may
get an ivory finished steel rod,
complete with cable, pulls and loops
for the curtain pins, as well as the
wall fixtures for sl.75 a window.
These extend from 28' to 48" and
save you all the evaporation and
labor. You may also get a very
neat unpainted wood valance at
81 a window for the bracket, and
25 cents a running foot for the
board that slips into it, which must
be cut to specifications. Thin y"
board is necessary, in case you wish
to make them at home, or plywood
works very well. You can save
money if you have to make them
for many windows, but by the
time you get the hooks and fixtures
and the wood, your cost for two
windows will be about the same.
If you wish more explicit directions
for working these things out at
home, I shall be glad to send them
to you, but as you did not inclose
your address with this request. I
hesitate to use all the space for
these minute directions.

S.
Evening star., 1940-09-20

Answer-You may count on maple
to give you beautiful floor and one
that will wear very well. Its warm
golden tones are very satisfactory
to live with, and 1t Is hard enough
to withstand wear. AS you are
beginning with a new floor, have
it finished very carefully SO that
your housekeeping efforts will be
lightened. If you keep it waxed,
1t will keep its light tone and smooth
surface for many years.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I would appreciate your assist
ance and any suggestions of how
to treat the dining room window
shown in the inclosed sketch. AS
you can see it is At" deep, 96" long
and SO" from the floor. 1t was un-
doubtedly built to accommodate a
sideboard or buffet below it.
wish to use floor length side
draperies at the front window in
this room to match the living room
ones, but as the light fixtures are
close to the window over the buf-
fet I am afraid long draperies will
over-dress this window.
DOUBTFUL. r. H.
Answer-Ordinaril I would agree
with you, but according to the
sketch your buffet is IS inches long
and your window Sc. This means
a space Of Is inches on each side,
which Is ungainly and awkward.
Set your drapery just to the out
side edge of your window frame
and let it fall to the floor to fill in
the space, then frame your buffet
and you will find it much more
graceful. If possible, extend your
net curtains down over the window
sill and have them just touch the
top Of your buffet, or fill in that 13-
inch space between the buffet top
and the window sill with a group of
small prints or decorative plates.
Use something that repeats your
drapery color and make your, whole
wall space one nice composition
instead of definitely buffet. window
and drapery as three separate units
