That Loope Clip Subject Refuses Disappear From the Woan Pag
| Why Grow
Old!
By Josephine Lowman

This week I am printing a few
letters which have come to WHY
GROW OLD recently. They speak
louder than any words at my COM
mand.
Listen to this one:
Dear Mrs. Lowman:
About three months ago
started your exercises. / want TO
say that I think they are the most
wonderful things know Of. l have
reduced my vaistline inches. added
3 to my bust. and trimmed of my
hips like a 16-year r-old girl. what
more could one ask?'
I print t.-.s letter because 1t
proves TO YOU that flgure-molding
is not a hit-and-miss activity. but
highly specialized science.
You will notice that the reader
put inches on her bustllne. while
she shaved them off her hips. 1t
is no longer necessary to sacrifice
busts and faces 10 obtain a slim
hipline and fiat tunlmy.
Whenever a teacher of exercise
exhorts you to hours Of strenuous
exercise each day, claiming that
this is necessary for results. don't
believe her.
That teacher reminds me of the
Southerner who says there is no
culture in the North, or vice versa
she must not know the right per-
sons!
This exercise should be included
in your daily half-hour schedule
! Lie on your left side. Brace your
self by putting your right hand on
the floor. Swing your right top

forward swing. when you become
timber, your foot will pass your

so, it is indeed worthwhile and
inexpensive hobby, into which one
can put an abundance Of imagina-
tion, but that requires very little
skill. for almost any one can work
with loopers.
Il thought YOU might be inter-
ested to know what quite few
Washingtonians had been doing in
this line. Sincerely,
Mrs. H. B."
All of this welcome information
was followed few days later by
a phone call from teacher of craft
work here in town. She imparts
the helpful knowledge that loopers
in colors can now be found at some
of the local Stores-which makes the
process even less difficult.
From where we sit, it looks as
though this looper business could
go on acknowledgements we'll turn
out to be an authority, retiring from
the frenzied fashion business to
spend our declining years IN the
easy. interesting process of loop
weaving. We can think of worse
fates!

Dorothy Dix Says go
Few Privileges of Bachelorhood
Don't Make 1t Desirable State

So. since the single estate is not all
cakes and ale for man. 1t does
seem that it is gross class injustice
to tax him a dollar a week for not
being married. as you will perceive
if you consider some OF the other
disadvantages of his lot:
He loses, to begin with. the COM
panionship Of wife, which in its
higher brackets is the greatest
felicity that can come to man. To
love and be loved: to go through life
with one at your SIDE whose tender
ness and sympathy and loyalty never
fail: to have the society of one with
whom one never talks out is to have
found a little bit of heaven on
earth.
Then the unfortunate bachelor
has less chance of reaching old age
than the married man has. He. poor
soul. has no wife to look after him
and make him take care of himself
and watch his calories and see that
he gets his vitamins and eats what
is good for his stomach instead OF
what he likes.
And another great advantage that
the bachelor misses is in not having
at his right hand an ever-present- un-
assailable alibi. Think of the ready
made excuses of the married man
if he doesn't succeed it is his wife's
fault. If he drinks his wife drove
him to it. If he takes to philander-
ing in his old age it is because his
wife got fat and lost her figure. II
he wants to step out at night his
wife drags him to night clubs. II
he gets to be a stick-in-the mud his
wife is a flreside-s sitter. but the poor
bachelor has to roll his own.
Also. the bachelor has to tell his
own lies, make his own excuses fol
not going to the Boreums, write his
own letters of convention. all OF
which is wear and tear on the con-
stitution that the married man
escapes.
Thus it may be seen how bachelor
is overtaxed for his few privileges
For If the husband sometimes seems
like a dog on leash, at least he
has somebody he belongs to, and
that is a necessity for the happiness
of dogs and men.
Evening star., 1941-08-01

What price bachelorhood? Statis-
ticians have figured out that under
the new income tax rates it costs a
man more than 81 week to
remain single. The difference in
exemptions between a single man
and married man without children.
Well, of course, the bachelor can say
that personal liberty is worth it, and
that to be free of being nagged, of
having ones diet regulated. Of wear
ing some one else's taste in clothes
instead of ones own, of having to
punch the time clock on the dot, OF
having to ask permission to stay
downtown for dinner. or having to
do a million things that one does
not want to do and leaving undone
those things one is dying TO do is
a downright cut-rate bargain at a
dollar a week. Also, the bachelor
might add that even If his freedom
does cost him a dollar a week he
saves on not having to pay for
beauty treatments and gowns and
hats and other feminine fripperies,
and for supporting home and baby
specialists, and for having adenoids
out and teeth Strengthened, and pay
ing the various and Sundry other
bills that keeps the married mans
nose to the grindstone. So it is still
money in his pockets to be single.
Bachelorhood has always been
esteemed a luxury but. in reality, it
is not the graft that it is popularity
supposed to be. The single man,
for instance is not free to live his
own life IN his own way, as one
would think. On the contrary. he is
the victim Of all the meddlesome
people he knows who feel free to
advise him about all of his personal
affairs. and so instead of being
nagged by one wife he is nagged by
dozens of them.
Nor is there economic advantage
in a man not being married. The
bachelor is the foreordained prey OF
his family. Because he hasn't any
children Of his own to send to college
and launch into society and buy cars
for and pay out of scrapes, his sis
tiers and his brothers unload their
youngsters on him and think he is
q meanie If he doesn't come across

Short of aprons? Then send to-
day for Pattern No. 1868. When
you make it up you will find you
have one of the most useful aprons
you ever owned and one of the
prettiest and easiest to wear as
we'll. The slim waistband which ties
with side sashes In back and the
crossed shoulder straps serve to keep
the apron firmly in place. The
graceful bib front, the shaped waist
line and the rick-rack trimming all
contribute to a charming, pretty
appearance. This is an apron which
takes a mere few hours to cut
and sew and which you can make
again and again. 1t is such a salts
factory pattern that you'll recon-
mend it as an apron which may be
made easily and sold readily at your
next church bazaar.
Plain cottons, checks, stripes,
fowered patterns in cottons all
make up effectively in this grace
full apron 1t may be trimmed with
bias binding or rick-rack braid Of
contrasting color with buttons to
match.

Manners
of the
Moment
The women who repeat their ques.

The women who repeat their ques-
tions of elevator girls and bus
drivers 10 times on each trip are
people who should in some way be
muzzled.
There is the woman in the de-
partment store who asks at every
floor if this is the floor where
kitchen utensils are sold. At the
first floor the elevator girl says
nicely: NO. madame. They are
on the 10th" But after the ques-
ton has been asked for the eighth
time on the eighth floor, you can't
blame the poor girl if she becomes
bit surly.
Either a woman should get off
the elevator at every floor and look
for herself or else she should listen
to what she has been told.
Some women are the same way on
buses. At every stop they want to
know if this is Elm street.
Perhaps if all the other bus and
elevator riders organized, and re-
peated in chorus the answer to the
question each time. it would help
Otherwise I'D suggest that these
people be forced to walk. JEAN.

Formula
MeticulOus Care
Should Be Given
Preparation
By Leffice Lee Street,

IL
Dear Mrs. Street,: I am expect
ing my first baby in September and
your column has been great COM
fort to me. I think have learned
lot OF facts about infant care
from II that I should know.
Will you tell me now to prepare
babv's formula and what I shall
| need to buy it? MRS. N. P.
Answer-Thank you very much
for your nice letter l am sure you
will understand that I cannot pos
sibly tell you the ingredients OF
a formula for your baby-to be. When
the time comes for this the only
person who should prescribe your
| infants diet is a child specialist.
Now please remember that! Do
not ever listen to any one except
doctor as to what your precious
baby should eat.
When he goes on a bottle you
must take meticulous care In the
preparation of the formula. being
sure to measure it exactly, and
also using utmost pains in the suf-
ficient sterilization of all equipment
that has to do with the baby's milk,
food and water.
Here is what you will need:
Wide-necked nursing bottles dt
Is better to buy one dozen.
One dozen rubber nipples to fit.
One dozen rubber bottle caps.
Bottle brush.
Bottle sterilizer with rack.
! Two or three wide-mouthed jars
with tops.
Funnel.
| Sixteen-ounce measuring pitcher.
Accurate teaspoon and tablespoon.
Long-handled spoon.
Two-quart saucepan.
Sterile gauze.
These necessities should be kept
entirely apart from all other house
hold utensils and before preparing
the milk mixture the following
articles should be well-boiled; bot
ties. nipples and rubber caps
wrapped in gauze: funnel, measur-
ing spoons and pitcher.
Bottles may be put into their
rack with the necks down and then
removed bv the convenient rack
handle. When the water has
drained out they may be turned
rioht side up, filled with the formula.
bottle caps put on and then the
rack of bottles placed in the re-
frigerator
Extra bottle caDs and nipples
should be kept in the covered glass
jar which should be sterilized every
day.
| No carelessneSs should ever be
tolerated in preparing an infants
bottles for milk. water and fruit
| Juice, and 1t Is wisest for a mother
to perform this duty herself unless
she can absolutely TRUST the person
who does 1t for her.
