Dress Up

BY ELEANOR ROSS

TT is great fun TO do over the

budget-controlled. such gestures
aren't in the usual scheme Of
things.
Shifting furniture and accesso-
ries around often does wonders.
And if one is at all handy or has
a sewing machine. there is lots
that can be done inexpensively.
A gay lowered Victorian
cover will dress up a table. Then
you might add seat covers for
chairs TO match the table cover.

Authority on Good Manners

""NHE things that make us
happy make us wise" l
believe that these words hold
the secret OF the success some
people have in improving other
people.
In the delicate procedure of
improving some Shortcoming of
another person, success comes
from the right point Of view,
understanding OF how easily
feelings are hurt, OF looking for
the best in the other person.
This plan Is the opposite OF
nsgging. OF picking on another
person, OF continual fault-find-
ing
It's speaking softly not
sharply It's taking the other
person by the hand and gently
leading the way 10 an ideal.

Think q Little:
Sove Trouble

Reports have reached this office
that youngsters have been careless
ly shooting near the west city linn
its, thus endangering the lives OF
passers-by on nearby roads and
highways.
The sport OF gopher hunting is
one in which most every one in
dulges. 1t is a good idea, however,
to select your hunting grounds with
care. The state laws say that no
person shall shoot toward road
or highway or toward residences.
Amy person who disregards this law
is subject to arrest and prosecution.
A little common sense is all that
is necessary for any person to use
and this bit of thinking may save
him and others great deal of

will now finish the superstructure
into which he will move his hard
ware store.
