Candles Add to Charm
OF Flower ARRANGEMENTS

Modern hostesses are using only
a few flowers or one perfect spray
for table decorations. Ginger Rog-
ers, motion picture star, has long
preferred very low bowls of
flowers, her favorite arrangement
being a few gardenias or oamellias
in a low pottery or crystal bowl.
Recently. for one informal party,
she added a novelty-tiny lily can
dies which can be floated in the
shallow water and lighted. Though
the candles are small, they will
last the meal. Effect is charming.

Clean Floors

il you neglect to cleanse your
floor brush frequently. you can
not expect to have really clean
floors. Floor brushes should
be washed at least once a week.
Remove all the loose dust by
shaking vigorously, then wash
in a pail Of rich suds. Rinse
three or four times in clear
water. shake well and dry out

Answer to All Prayers

up guns roaring in Russia
England crouched, blood
blinded, in the dust Of her

The horror OF II all lay
heavy on us as we sat there
waiting the questions
turned in us monotonously,
like a man croaking in fever
-. those questions we all are
asking today.
"WeIl. now that we're here,
what can we do about IL?
What can anybody do about
II? What's IL all for, any

ruin and idiot agony, going

million years ago!

And what's 10 buying us
