Canned Salmon and Tuna High Cost Living
By Dorothy Murray.

Silver sherbet cups are rather on
the expensive side, but they certainly
do enhance a table. These, with
matching plates, silver bonbon and
nut dishes and fiatware, make a
lovely setting when serving light re-
freshments. To carry out the shining
motif as decoration, place a large
silver flower bowl in the center of
the table and silver candle holders
On either side. We suggest that
white flowers and candles be placed
IN these toAgain the best effect. With
party table as pretty as this you
should receive compliments from
your friends
There is no need to have shabby
lamp shades in your boudoir. Very
attractive ones may be secured at
reasonable price to replace them.
For instance, for the twin lamps on
the dresser there are shades covered
with pleated acetate rayon, some
trimmed with ruching, others with
acetate lace. These come in vari-
GUS styles, are washable, noninfam-
mable and fadeproof. Shades for
the bed lamp also may be purchased
to match them
Protect your stairs with neat,
trim looking treads. These are made
of rubber and are deeply corrugated
to prevent slipping. A wide overlap
gives extra protection to the edges
OF the steps and also avoids the
danger of catching ones heels on
the raised edge of the mats ..
It's a shame the way hot pans
placed on the oven top of the new
gas or electric stove will crack and
mar the finish. To avoid this use

February has almost arrived and
with it come invitations to many
dances. For these affairs, all girls
love to receive flowers from their

to be the favorite among the fair

! several other ways of wearing or
carrying flowers that were very
lovely, such as a lei made Of all one

Manners
of the
Moment

The cook who is always apologiz-
Ing for her cooking, deserves never
to receiYe~a compliment on it. She
deserves to have the whole family
refuse to eat. But that is q bit
hard on the family.
mean the type of cook who, as
she brings in a platter full of roast
chicken, done to a crisp, frowns
and fuses and announces that she
got the thing overdone. Or the
type of cook who tells you that she
absolutely burned UP the potatoes
(when she didn't at alb, or that
she really didn't get the carrots
done (when she did.
She's really angling for a compli-
ment. She wants someone to say
"It isn't overdone at all. It's ab-
solutely perfect"
But I'm rebelling. I think a
really good cook brings her food in,
and sets it down in absolute con-
1dence that it's good. And If she
knows that she really did burn the
potatoes, she says nothing about it.
and leaves it to her reputation
with the family to carry her through
an error.
She's the kind to whom I love to

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Husbands Should Observe Their
Office Manners in the Home

chasing dollars and not skirts, and
who regards his stenographer as
Just part OF the Office equipment,
but who is polite to her because she
is useful to him and valuable to
| him and he doesn't want TO lose
her, and well he knows that she
would give notice and quit if he
didn't: whereas a wife has to stay
on and take whatever kind OF treat
ment he hands her.
And this diff 1crence in treatment
is not because he prefers Miss Pot
hooks to Friend Wife, but simply
because he regards his wife as sort
of lightning rod for his irritability
and home as a place where he can
blow up safely and get all the emo
tions and cussedness he has had to
suppress in business out Of his sys-
! tenn.
Also, when a mans stenographer
IS one of the invaluable kind, who
is always at her desk. early and
late, who never forgets anything
and who becomes a sort of sub
sidiary memory and conscience to
him and keeps him reminded of
everything he ought to do, her en-
ployer is appreciative of it and
doesn't hesitate to express his graft.
tudeS to her. =
But when q wife is on her job
all the time, when she makes his
home place of comfort and gives
him just the things he likes to eat,
cooked the way he prefers them;
when she saves his money, and
press-agents him lin society, and
writes his letters and sends his pres
ents and does his white lying for him,
he just takes it for granted and
feels that she is doing no more than
she should do and it isn't worth
mentioning.
And man feels that his stenog-
rapher is worthy of her hire. He
doesn't expect to her work for just
barely her board and clothes. Nor
does he expect her to come and
wheedle her salary out of him dollar
by dollar, and throw f1ip-fiops of
gratitude because he has given her
the money she earned by her labor.
No. He would consider himself dis
honorable if he didn't pay her a fair
wage and if, when she had done
extra good work, he didn't hand her
out bonus now and then.
But it is different with a wife.
No matter how hard she works, no
matter if she puts in 14-hour day
toiling for him and his children, he
considers that he supports her and
that he is mighty generous to let her
work for him and that she should
be grateful to him for the privilege.
Funny that husbands and wives
who love each other treat each
other worse than they do strangers,
isn't 1t?

Susan
Be Smooth!
By Nell Giles.

If you bite your fingernailS, you
don't need to be told that you
shouldn't do it. You know that.
But here's a suggestion on how to
break the habit: just keep biting
your fingernails, down to the very
stubs. All but one fingernail. Keep
this one carefully groomed; enamel
it with lovely color, and leave the
white tip showing. That white tip
is your will power. You won't miss
the f1ngernail because you have nine
others to chew. But on some oc-
casion stop biting the same finger
on the other hand. Treat it with
kindness, too, and watch it grow
and prosper. We don't need to tell
you the end of the story. One at
a time you let your fingernails grow.
You add color as you add will power,
and before you know it you have
learned discipline and added 10
fingers to your smoothness.
The best time to put on nail polish
is just before you go to bed. Let
it get almost dry before you put on
your white mitts and 60 to sleep
During the night the polish will
harden without the tiniest blenlish
Polish applied in the daytime is
subject to flngerprints. dust and
srnrdoeS before it driee. Cot aoi"o

look" In the last minute you have
set aside to give yourself the
smooth look at night, pick out your
few stray eyebrows. It's better To
do few every night and keep them
under perfect discipline than to
torture yourself with periodic clean
ups. Of course, it's better grooming
it goes without saying. Good groom
ing is not periodic but continuous,
if it is really good grooming.
These few minutes of brushing
clothes, caring for hands and eye
brows, save time for the finer points
when you dress in the morning.
An extra minute of care, for
example, when you put on your
girdle and stockings, will guarantee
straight stocking seems all day.
Be sure that your girdle is on
straight and that the supporters
are fastened down in a straight line.
When you put on your stockings,
fold the leg down to the toe, so that
the whole length of silk is between
your forefiner and your thumb,
which is fiat against the inside of
the stocking heel. Now put the
stocking on your foot and pull it up
over your leg with both hands,
keeping the right thumb over the
inside of the stocking seam, and
pulling this seam up straight at the
back of your leg. Fasten your sup
porters to the tops of your stock
ings while you stand. Again, here
is rule of good grooming which
takes thought at first but soon
becomes a habit.
If you'll put on makeup (an
except hpstick) before you slip on
your dress, you'll save the trouble
of brushing away powder.

being easy on the tOckefbOOk!

A bachelor said to me the other
day that if a mans stenographer
treated him the way his wife does
she wouldn't last the week through.
He would fire her right off the bat.
| Probably this is true. Certainly no
employer would keep private Sec
retary who came down to work with
her hair in curriers' and the remnants
of last nights cold cream still shin
ing upon her countenance. In fact,
| a man of my acquaintance recently
refused to hire a very competent
young woman becauses she was fat
and homely. Business is hard
enough on the nerves without hav-
| ing to look at that" he explained.
| Nor would an employer put up with
a stenographer who turned in inac-
curate work and never learned how
to spell or punctuate or to file a
document where it couldn't be found
without the aid Of a search warrant.
Neither would be raise the salary
| of a secretary who flew off the ham
die whenever he criticized anything
she did and was SO temperamental
she had to be handled with gloves.
Admittedly, wives do not treat
their husbands with the tact and
suavity that they do their employers,
Nor do they make the same effort
to be crackerjack housekeepers as
they do to be prize stenographers,
for well do women know that the
wife Job is a more or less important
one from which they cannot be re-
moved without scandal and trouble
and alimony, and they take liberties
with that bit of information tucked
in their hats
But what is sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander. And what
about men treating their wives as
we'll as they do their stenographers?
Believe me. if men would bring
their business manners home with
them in the evening instead of leav-
ing them locked up in their desks
at the Office, it would do a lot to-
ward solving the domestic problem
and making home, sweet home, in
stead of being the pickle factory it
so often is.
Many and many a wife would
ask nothing better than for her hus-
band to treat her as courteously
and show her the same considera-
ton as he does his stenogrhper
And this doesn't refer to his hand
ing her over a pay envelope for her
work on Saturday evening.
Neither does it take into consid-
Grafton those philandering husbands
who hold petting parties in their
Offices, and who have peachy-l looking
secretaries whom they take out to
dinner and for whom they buy fur
coats.

Your
Posture by
Exercises
Dowager's Hump
Ages Women
Ten Years
By Patricia Lindsay.

| ID y uIJECIU LIHuSups
When some one called that pac
of flesh which forms at the base Of
the neck, if ones posture is poor
a dowager's hump, it was rightly
named. For nothing can age g
woman's appearance so much a.
that-it adds 10 years to any
woman's age.
A dowager's hump comes primarily
from poor posture. Very young girl;
acquire one if they slump when they
walk and sit. 1t doesn't take long
for roll of flesh to form high or
the shoulders. But it takes ages
for it to be massaged away or exer-
cised away!
The business woman is very likely
to acquire a dowager's hump un-
Willingly, by sitting long hours over
desk or typewriter in a crampeo
position. To prevent 1t from form
ing one should get up several times
a day and go through simple cor
rective movements to relieve the
tenseness around the neck and
shoulders. If you work in an Office
or factory, you could practice these
movements in the ladies room OF
during your lunch hour. House
wives should practice them about
the middle of the morning.
Try this simple movement right
now. Drop your paper, sit erectly
in your chair, draw in your abdomen
which automatically raises your
chest. Now place your hands on
your shoulder bones and raise elbows
to shoulder level. Stretch neck
upward and push head back so ii
is even with spine (not bent for
ward). Holding this position, force
your elbows back as far as possible
and then forward in a circular
movement-keeping your hands on
your shoulder bones. You should
feel great release of tension at the
base of neck and around shoulder
blade area. This one exercise may
be done while you sit at your desk or
table without attracting too much
comment!
Arm circling: Sit on edge of
straight chair. Raise arm to
shoulder level, hands at chest, palms
down as if ready to do the breast
stroke in swimming. Make a small
circle with arms, forward, up and
back 5 to 10 times; rest and repeat.
Arm swinging and arm bending:
Stand erect with feet slightly anart
arms hanging with hands crossed
in front of body. This exercise is
done to counts. Count 1-fling
arms up and back. Count 2-bring
arms down to first position. Count
3-raise arms to bent position al
chest. Count 4-loWer arms tc
original crossed position. Repeat
slowly until you get rhythm, then
do rapidly Is or 20 times.

Answer-Anything as valuable as
lot running down to the river de-
serves some professional planning,
but just as starter you might plan
to divide the lot with a small colorful
flower garden close to the house.
Then, either with a low fence and
a wide archway or by the planting
inclose this with vista through
the arch to the river. Beyond that
point you will need only green's
ward and some strategically placed
Towering shrubs, until such time as
you will be able to have help in
planting and caring for your
garden. The main thing to avoid
is an uncared-for garden. Plan
only what you are sure you can
care for and beyond that rely on
the beauty of the natural land

the right places so that your eye

widths to take care of the difference
in size. : would suggest that you
use a similar mat and size on all of
the others, placing vertical one
with two horizontals on either side
of 1t on one wall, and the four
on another wall. I think
you will find that the whole thing
will explain itself when you get the

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have been offered lease on a
house. but the lease has a cancella-
ton clause in it. Does this affect
nc or the landlord?
F. D. c.
Answer II suppose it may
affect either of you, but 1t
usually means that you are
offered a rental lease on house
that is up for sale, and that If it is
solo, you will be given notice to
vacate. If house has been standing
idle for some time and you are
willing to let prospective buyers see
it, you often may rent 1t for less
because of this inconvenience. But
there is also the possibility that
you may just get comfortably settled
and be given 30 days notice that the
house is Sold, 1t is a perfectly
reasonable arrangement as long as
it is thoroughly understood by both
parties.

go. L. H.
Answer-A good painter will pro-
tect your furniture by taking small
pieces from the room in which he is
working and moving the larger ones
to the center of the room and cover
ing them. Good painters do not
flip the paint around carelessly
either, but you never know you have
good painter until you have seen
him work. If your furniture is light
in color, you might help by putting
on slip covers, for then If the paint
er's covers are dusty you will have
to launder only the slip covers. Re-
move all ornaments, pictures, lamps
and small items to one of the rooms
not being done. If you make the
room plain sailing" for the painter
he will be through that much sooner.
Most workers are very considerate,
for their success depends on your
recommending them to your friends.
