Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have several
reprints of Currier & Ives that I
would like to frame. A friend sug-
gested that if I shellac the surface
of the prints they would not need
glass over them and would look like
old ones. Would this be good
method in your opinion? CIV
AnsWer-The shellac will preserve
the surface from fading and soil and
be very satisfactory if there is no
printing on the back of the pictures.
If there is, the shellac will bring it
right through onto the front. Cur
rier & Ives were always framed with
glass, so you still can feel on the
right side if you find yours are
printed.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: Can you tell
me the best way to clean a pair of

not been cleaned for years and are
covered with tarnish? J.K.
AnsWer-The best way is to take
them to one of the good metal mer-
chants here in town and have them
professionally cleaned They buff
them on a wheel and quickly do the
work it would take you several days
to do by hand. Then you can take
good care of them yourself by polish
ing them every week. Pumice, fine
steel wool and good metal polish
will be necessary, as well as patience
and plenty of strength in arms and
hands, if you wish to do the job we'll.

An Ounce of Prevention
Mothers Should Be Always Alert
ToGuard Child Against Mishap

praising them for their cooperation.
But young children should never
be left in charge of a baby. We
have to remember that childhood
is not the age of responsibility.
Poisonous medicines, cleaning
fluids and chemicals should be hid
den from all children. A big boy
can be seriously injured if he plays
with kerosene, gasoline, lye and the
like. Medicines and razors should
never be left on the washstand
when there are young children in
the home.
Cribs. play pens and toys used by
the little child who is still in the
chew-up-everything-I-c n-get-my-
hands-on stage should be painted
with paint that does not contain
lead. Lead poisoning can be serious.
Do not let your baby play with
any kind of talcum can. even if
you think it is empty. Some talcum
contains stearate Of zinc which is
harmful when inhaled.
We too often read the bitter news
that a baby has smothered or
burned while his mother was out Of
the house Please never, never
leave your baby or your young
children alone at homel
Nor should the toddler be left by
himself in room with an open
fire, a hot range or a gas stove.
Electric heaters should be placed
up high on something, particularly
in the bathroom. And watch out for
heat of any kind that is placed too
near the crib.
This all sounds so alarming! 1t
is not to frighten you, but is written
principally for young mothers with
their first babies, just to remind
them that IAN ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure"
Have you questions to ask con-
cerning the care of your baby?

AnSWer-Usually the hall color
scheme whether paper or paint is
continued throughout the upper hall,
though it is very often possible to
change the Dashboard and trim
colorS at the top of the stairs, eS-
pecially II the upper hall is not
large. Keep in mind that the doors
to the bedrooms will be a large
spot of the hall color and be sure
that they blend nicely with the bed
room colors. 1t is often a good plan
to carry all the woodwork upstairs
in oyster white which tends to hold
together the different colored bed
rooms without any sharp break
Wallpaper Or paint Is equally at
tractive upstairs. Recommend
paint for a small child's room and
the use of paper when it is a
definite design and color asset.
When soft pastel walls are required,
the perfect wall is fiat paint stip-
pied to give matte surface Wood
work should be semigloss or
enamel for easy cleaning.
Dear Miss Novel;: I have had
trouble with the curtain in our
shower stall which mildews before
it has bt an up month. Is there
anything to be done about this?
I tried washing it but it would not
come off. D. r. c.
AnsWer-There is no way to re-
move the mildew once it has dis
colored the shower curtain for it
stains it the same way it stains a
linen napkin or any other fabric
There is a new shower curtain on
the market which is guaranteed not
to mildew and which would prob
ably solve your problem. 1t is a
sheer fabric coated with a plastic
material, very good looking and
long lasting. If you do not choose
this, you would be wise to make
some arrangement so that the
shower curtain would be able to
dry thoroughly and quickly and pre-
vent the mildew.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have some
iron furniture in my garden on
which I am planning to use re-
movable cushions to make it more
comfortable. I have heard that
there are materials which are water
proof and sunproof and that the
cushions could be left out in
rain or shine without damage. Do
you know if this is true? Can you
give me information about these
materials and let me know if I may
get them in Washington? H. R. T.
Answer-Numerous fabrics, like
sailcloth, canvas and some Of the
glazed upholstery fabrics. have been
treated to this waterprooflng, which
is most satisfactory. The Washing
ton stores carry these and will show
them to you Your cushions covered
with this material will not be harmed
by an occasional summer shower in
case you forget them, but II you
leave them out all summer, through
all weathers, the covers will become
soiled from dust and smell musty
from damp. I recommend taking
them in at night as general rule,
but if you do happen to forget them

Special Beauty Care

Faulty compilations Coarse pores,
under-the- skin blemishes and dirt
may often be cleared through special
beauty care in a short time. One
of the more efficient methods of
proper cleansing to eliminate these
complexion worries is the use of
the lemon mask. This mask follows
a lemonized rinse. Mix one egg
white with the juice of one average
lemon; add sufficient almond meal
or powdered oatmeal to make a
thin paste. Apply and leave until
dry. then rinse with lemonized
water.

lures become known as your sum-
mer pieces de resistance. With the
wealth of fresh and canned juices
available, there seems to be no limit
to the number of variations that can
be worked out by the enterprising
hostess.
Newly popular are the so-called
"tWo tone" drinks-a fashion that
stems from Hawaii, where some of
the best beverages have originated
Favorite combinations include un-
sweetened pineapple juice and Con-
cord grape juice or pineapple and
canned red cherry juice. The two
toned effect is accomplished very
easily. Fill tall glass with crushed
ice. Then fill glass to top with pine
apple juice and grape or cherry juice
by pouring the two fruit juices
simultaneously-o on each side of
the glass-over the ice. The juices
should be we'll chilled in the can
before pouring. Serve at once with
a long spoon before the juices have

Similar combinations may be

ing color and favor. You may pur-
chase these in cans, too, or you may
choose to order the quantity you
need made fresh for you by local

chopped chives. Or golden carrot
Juice. with a dash of lemon, mixed
with beet juice makes an interesting
mixture Experiment with blending
different ingredients-it's fun, and
certainly a healthy procedure!
When serving cold drinks, one rule
Is paramount-to be good they must
be freshly made. If you must have
your ingredients ready some time
in advance, place them in bottles
or containers that may be covered,
and set them in the icebox-all ex-
cept tea. Tea will cloud if it is kept
too cold. Do the actual mixing just
before the drinks are ready to serve
Use plenty of Clipped ice, and if
the mixture is one that will suffer
by dilution, don't hesitate to make
use of the shaker. Another way to
prevent dilution is to make your
ice cubes out of one of the liquids
that form a principal ingredient of
the drink.
Here are a few tried and tested
"old reiables' that will serve as
standbys until you get your indi-
vidual drinks to your liking.

Cleaning Hint

To keep dust from scattering when
busting radiators, lay a slightly
dampened cloth on top of the
radiator and paper underneath.
Then take a long handled brush
and dust with a vengeance. The
cloth and paper collect the dust.

Don't Be Satisfied With Usual Summer DrnksC0nc0ct New One
.WhyGrowO|d?
By Josephine LOlCman

If we could add up all the mo-
ments we lose or waste each day dur
ing a month and then apply that
time to beauty culture, we could
make ourselves over into new, snin-
ing creatures.
Realizing that women today Lead
very busy lives and find little time
for exercises, why Grow Old has
devised some exercises which can De
taken at odd moments.
When you are outdoors. you can
exercise your eyes by looking at the
horizon, then at the end OF your
finger, and then quickly again into
the far distance.
When you are in taxi or car
or the subway you can indulge in
a splendid abdominal exercise and
even your best friend won't know
it. Pull the muscles of the tummy
in and hold them for as long as you
can. Relax. Pull them as far back
toward the back bone as possible.
AS you practice you will be able
to hold the muscles In for longer
time.
If you wish to develop the calves
of your legs, whenever you are
standing rise on your toes, lifting
the heels from the ground.
When you are sitting with your
knees crossed, bend the toes of the
top foot slowly toward the floor.
Now raise the toes, bending them
back over the foot as far as you
can. Continue bending down and
then up.
If your ankles need reducing,
make circles with the toes of the
top foot first in one direction, then
in the other.
