The next two months are an ideal
time to spend in your home work
shop to refnish some of the nice
pieces of furniture that have need
ed attention for some time. This
is not difficult task, though 1t does
take time and patience. But 1t is
interesting work which may be
picked up for an hour and then
set aside for another day, as much
of the work of refinishing and re-
storing must wait for coats to dry,
glue to set and for one process to
be completed before another is start
ed. An hour a day will see some
of the family treasures put in good
order for another generation.
In the next two weeks we will
print for you general instructions
for the restoration and reflnishing
of furniture and the types OF fin
ish best suited to use. The pieces
which you prize because OF their
association or the ones which are
priceless because of their fine pro-
portion and workmanship are both
worth doing over, and doing well.
So, look over your house and be
ready next week for the necessary
list of materials and the prelimi-
nary instructions.

What you wear must be all-of-a-
piece; it must express one thought,
from your hat to the last detail of
grooming
For example, let's make Susan
Victorian. From top to toe, Susan
will run something along this line:
A bonnet type hat, simple dress
with high neckline and a touch
of white, pale nail polish, white
gloves and pumps. Now take off the
bonnet and try a Scotch High

wear with her plaid skirt and CASH

pie as possible and sufficiently easy
and comfortable so that the ado
lescent girl need not be conscious of
them at all. Frilly clothes which
make her stand out from the rest
of her chums also serve to make
her uneasy and, consequently, un-
calmly.
The popularity of the blouse or
sweater and skirt is a boon to
youngsters because these clothes are
plain, serviceable and offer the ut
most opportunity for variety. Every
young schoolgirl should concentrate
upon this type of outfit for daily
wear, changing the combinations to
give her several costumes.
One plaid and one plain skirt
provide the backbone for a COM
plete wardrobe, for they may be
worn with innumerable blouses,
sweaters and jenkins. A simply tai
lored shirtwaiSt blouse may pick up
one of the colors of the pastel plaid
skirt; gay, long-sleeved blouse is
favored with simple pleated skirts
or jumpers-and many of them are
smart enough TO make a "dressy"
outfit, particularly if the jumper is
velveteen and the blouse rayon
satin. Sweaters may be worn sin
gly or in pairs, most effective when
the twin sweaters" are in contrast
ing colors, and sharp contrasts are
good, If they go well together.
Matching or harmonizing tones are
also fine, but don't be afraid to
throw a bright blue and red to-
gether-as long as they are COM
patible.
The fashion for jenkins has proved
popular and helpful one for this
group, principally because its casual
smartness transforms many dresses
into suitable styles for school and
daytime wear. In plain colors or
stripes and in every material from
leather to softest jersey these smart
little accessories are finding great
favor Many dresses are equipped
with them, thus providing a two-in-
one fashion when the jerkin is re-
moved. With a plain blouse and
skirt, the jerkin bridges any gap be-
tween the two pieces, and does won-
ders for figure improvement. Re-
member, too, that it gives added
warmth in draughty corridors these
damp days.

You men are really going to keep
your chins up this winter, whether
you feel in the mood or not. Winter
hats have brims up, and more and
more men are realizing that it's pos
sible to get away from the con-
stantly present snap brim.
So, the Homburg and off-the-face
felt are really taking well, and
because of this trend, hat manu-
facturers are producing both types
in colors that match or harmonic
with every possible coat and suit
combination.
Reports from New York say that
the khaki or covert shades, blue
grays and medium tones of green
are the favorites. Midnight blue
comes out in front for dress hats.
Seems that fellas are finding out
the wisdom of medium colors for
town wear, for they stay fresh
looking longer and seem to look
better after cleaning.
Speaking of hats, as we do with
something of a fervor, you may be
interested to know that there are
several novelties which look prom
ising. One of them is the university
hat with gabardine band and gab-
ardine binding. This one started
at New Haven, has spread rapidly
down the Eastern seaboard and now
goes westward.
You remember the Guatemalan
band woven by the Mayan Indians
and used on summer styles? Well,
there's some thought about using
it on winter felts, but it's still in
the sport novelty bracket.
Individualized hat bands which
can be changed around are going
very well and should do better now
that manufacturers are making
them to match or harmonic with tie
and handkerchief combinations.
Kinda nice to have supply of hat
bands to match your other access
sories.
Automobiles have had their in
fuence on hats, too. for we hear
that some manufacturers are an

abounding health and vitality, says
the Bureau of Home Economies of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture.
Studies made by the bureau show
that vast numbers of American
families do not have the cash TO
buy adequate diets. However. most
farm families and many village
families are fortunate in having
the land to raise part of their own
food supply-the part that costs so
much to buy-the part that helps
so much in making diets adequate.
Most farm families have the
space for a vegetable garden, a
patch of berry bushes, perhaps even
an orchard If they've planned
their needs ahead. there will be
variety of fresh fruits and vege-
tables all during the summer and
fall. BY making food budget
and preserving the surplus there
will sbe canned, stored, or frozen
fruits and vegetables to last until
CQe SdTOeIl pears again.
Farm families can usually find
the time to care for flock of
chickens that will give them poultry
and eggs through most of the year.
Many of them can keep cows to
supply them with fresh milk and
cream, and they can make butter
and cheese at home. They can fat
ten pigs, and raise calf and lamb
for a home-produced meat supply.
If there is a freezer locker nearby,
the family can have both fresh meat
and cured meat throughout the year.
Besides these foods, they will need
some sugar, flour and cereals. Part
of the "sweetening" can be pro-
dused at home if the family has a
field of cane, few hives of bees, or
grove of sugar NAPLES. Farm fam
lilies who raise wheat and corn can
have it ground for their own use.
To produce all of these foods calls
for planning ahead, hard work, and
some risk. But the advantage of
having more adequate diets, far
overbalances these costs.
It's easier to estimate the food
.needs for the coming year, if there is
a record from last year to use as
guide. Planning is more than a
matter of budgeting for the future;
it is also matter of keeping records
from day to day to see how the pro-
gram works out, what mistakes we're
made, how to improve the family
plans.
The farm family can get help in

Then they can list the amounts of
all the different foods needed by
each person in the family during the
year. From there it is easy to CAL
culate how much the entire family
needs and how this will work out in
terms of rows of vegetables. gallons
of milk, dozens Of eggs, and so on.
For example. a family with three
children would need about $50 gall.
Ions of milk for drinking. cooking,
making butter and cheese. The fam
lily would probably have two cows so
they could have milk all the year
round. Skim milk, buttermilk, and
whey left from churning will help
feed the pigs and chickens.
A flock of 100 laying pullets each
fall would give them all the eggs
they needed, with some surplus to
sell for cash. They would eat the
cockerels and producing hens
so there would be about one chicken
dinner each week
One baby beef, two hogs, and one
lamb would take care of their meat
and lard supply for the year.
They would need at least a half
acre vegetable garden as well as a
half acre for potatoes. Another half
acre for berry bushes and fruit trees
would take care of their fruit sup
ply.
Prosperity is not always figured in
terms of dollars and cents. Plenty
of good food that keeps folks in good
health is worth much to any family.
Planning and planting puts this
kind of prosperity within the reach
of any farm family.

The foggy appearance that often

penetrate the wood The mixture IS
applied with soft cloth; after
few minutes for penetration the sur
face is polished by rubbing 1t with
the grain of the wood until the wood
Is thoroughly dry and the fingers

A surface which has been re-
peatedly waxed and which looks
sticky responds nicely to cleaning
with turpentine, followed by a new
thin coat of wax and rundown.
