It's a funny thing how last years
bathing suit always looks so terri
bly, out of date. You put it away
thinking, This is good-looking
bathing suit, and I'll be able to
wear it all next summer" And
when you get it out you wonder how
you ever thought it good looking.
1t might just as well be your grand
mothers bathing suit, for all of its
usefulness to you.
You've preserved it from the
moths, but it looks moth-eaten. 1t
was guaranteed not to fade. but it
looks faded. You thought it ultra
chic last year, but it looks like an
1890 model. You liked the color
once, but the color looks sickly
now.
If you can afford it. I recommend
chucking the whole thing out and
starting over again.
If you can't, your best cure of
this hatred of last years bathing
suit is to put it on and get under the
shower. Then take look at your
self. The suit. nine times out of
ten. looks much better wet. At
least it begins to look more natural
to you. And you'll find that you
can, if you have to, get used to it
again.

Wise Girl Offsets Lack of Beauty
With Interesting Personality

A homely girl who does not wish
to be wallflower asks what she can
do to compensate for lacking the
beauty that her more fortunate sis
tiers possess. Well, the first and
most important thing for her to do
is to forget 1t. The worst defect the
plain girl has is not the shape of her
nose, the size of her eyes. nor her
complexion, it is her inferiority
complex.
If you act like beauty, people will
take you for one. Now no girl in
these days need be as ugly as she
was made, so don't run up the white
flag and take back seat among the
wallf1owers. Do something about
your looks. Outwit Nature by learn
ing how to make the most of what
pulchritude she vouchsafed YOU
You can acquire practically any
kind Of figure you desire by diet and
exercise. You can learn how to
comb your hair so as to make 1t
such beautiful frame for your face
that nobody will notice the picture
within. And you can buy a ready
made complexion at the drugstore.
Learn how to dress. Find out
what you can wear and what you
can't. Choose colors that compli-
ment you instead of those that
swear at you. And you will turn
yourself from an ugly duckling into
a swan. Nine times out of 10 when
We speak of a beautiful woman we
really mean she had on a lovely
dress.
Then learn to dance, and I mean
learn to dance. No girl who can
float around ballroom like thistle
down ever lacks for partners. Make
your heels Offset your face. Acquire
a bagful of parlor tricks. Learn how
to play game of bridge that will
make men sit up and take notice.
If you can play an accompaniment
or even sing In the chorus, that will
always win you place in the gang.
And by all means learn how to
cook some special dish that will
make you welcome addition to any
party. If girl Is a good sport; if
she can fit into any picture, if she
can swim and play golf and drive
a car, nobody ever thinks about her
looks. She is just good fun.
Make yourself agreeable to every
one with whom you come in contact.
Be cheerful. Don't argue. Don't
criticize. Don't talk about yourself.
Don't tell your troubles.
And, finally, If you can't be beauti-
full, be lteresting. Read. Study.
Keep up with the times. Keep up
with what your friends are doing
and thinking and what's happening

ticed strange little silvery bugs in
the cabinets and bookcases in my
library. Are these dangerous in
any way? Where do they come
from and what can 1 do to get rid
of them, please? F. B. c.
Answer-This is undoubtedly the
silverfish, and he can do great dam
age to your library. He feeds on
starchy or sized materials and will
eat the gilt off book covers to gec
at the glue beneath. To get rid of
this pest, dust the bookShelves with
pyrethrum powder. A good house
hold spray in the back of book
shelves, Dashboard and similar places
also will help. The silverfish loves
a damp wall where the wallpaper is
loosened and he may feed to his
hearts content on the wallpaper
paste.

large morsels are to be eaten with
out taking or shredding. For
cooking, as rule, the cheaper
grades will be entirely satisfactory.
The main thing to remember, when
buying fresh crab meat, is to be
sure that it is really fresh and is
kept cold and uncontaminated to
the moment of preparation and
serving. If the day is very hot get
the fish dealer to wrap the tin of
crab meat for you in layers of ice
and paper so that it will keep cool
until you can reach home and pop
1t into the ice box.
Crab meat salad is one of the
easiest and most delicious of sum-
mer- time meals. Pick over the crab
meat to remove any bits of shell or
flakes of cartilage, but do not
break down the Jumps more than
absolutely necessary. To one pound
of crab meat add one tablespoon
green pepper, chopped; a few ripe
olives. chopped, and one-half cup
chopped raw celery. Mix all we'll
with a mayonnaiSe seasoned with
plenty of lemon juice and a very
little minced onion. If you like, use
chopped cucumber instead of Gel
cry. Turn the salad onto a platter
lined with lettuce leaves, top with
pimento or green pepper cut into
fancy shapes and serve very cold.
If you like, combine crab meat
with cooked shrimp or lobster-or
both-for a mixed Seafood salad.
Instead of lettuce set the salad into
stoned avocado halves or stuff It
into well-chilled, hollowed-out to-
matoes. A friend of mine makes a
very smooth paste of crab meat
(this time shredded or faxed fine)
chopped celery, chopped stuffed
green olives, cream cheese and Rus
sian dressing. This she stuffs into
raw green pepper shells (the con-
sistency of the paste should be
fairly stiff and not at all "runny'D,
wraps each one in WaXed paper and
sets to chill for several hours in
the coolest part of the refrigerator.
Just before serving she slices the
peppers crosswise, fairly thick, puts
each slice on a lettuce leaf and
serves it with more Russian dress
ing passed separately.
There is no more jealousy guarded
secret than that of the special"
recipes for Grab Imperial The
chefs who make masterpiece of
this delicious concoction won't
breathe the details to a soul-and
can't say that I blame them! But
we have found a recipe that we
think is something pretty special
ourselves, and so we're passing it
along to you with the hope that
you will like it as much as We did.

Children's
Prayers
Teach Youngster
To Appreciate
Loving Care
Br Lettuce Lee Street,

So many of you devoted mothers,
and loving grandmothers. too, have
written asking for my collection of
children's prayers that l thought
many of you who have not asked
for them by mail might like to see
a few of these appealing little word
poems printed right here in our
column.
Every thoughtful mother, no mat
ter what her creed, gives serious
consideration to her child's religious
education
BY the time baby is years old
he begins to realize that his mother
and father, and other members of
his immediate household, are not
the only ones who contribute to his
welfare. However, he does not feel
at all grateful for the care and love
he receives. He takes all that Is
done for him as his due. He is. in
truth, a self-centered small egotist.
This is only natural. and he can
not be blamed. because he has not
had time during his short life to
learn what only experience can
teach him.
But his mother can start to train
him along the happy way of appre-
citation of others, an attitude that
is necessary to build an adult char
acter that is tolerant, understanding
and kind. She can say, for example,
little things like this: Wasn't it
kind of Daddy to bring you that
nice toy? Shall we thank him?" or
Look, the butcher is cutting that
good meat for you. Do you want to
thank him?"
AS the child grows older the
mother can gradually teach him the
strength and help he may find from
his Heavenly Father and explain to
him the beautiful message in the
Golden Rule" and thus teach him
the great secret of happiness which
is to help others and be thankful.
The reading of gentle poems and
prayers. even if not memorized, will
indelibly impress upon the childs
sensitive mind the habit of gratitude
that will add to his peace all Of his
life long.
Here, then, are a few you may
want to read aloud:
20 Father, we thank and praise. Thee
for all the lovely things in the world; for
budding things. for health and fun and
new hopes. for the love and kindness of
those who care for US, and above all for
and mercy, and for the opportunity to use
our lives in serving Thee, whatever We may
find to do; for Jesus sake. Amen"

| Why Grow
Old?
By JoSebhine LOlpman

why Grow Old is giving this
week to June brides. However, the
suggestions for making marriage
success apply equally to those
women who have been wives for
many years. The only difference Is
that the June brides of 194l may
avoid some mistakes we have made,
while we must try to remedy ours.
If you are a June bride. or wife
of 20 years standing start keeping
yourself lovely for your husband.
Although true love depends much
more on spiritual values than on the
lure of physical attraction, still it's
nice to stay looking something like
the girl he fell in love with, and it
is possible.
STOPPING posture, accumulation OF
extra pounds, inactivity, which
molds the figure into lumpy contour,
careless grooming, indoor life, ne
elect of the skin, and bad food all
put their mark on the bloom Of
youth.
Form health and beauty habits
early in marriage They will keen
you lovely through the years ahead.
It's easier to avoid figure and beauty
faults than 20 correct them, all
though any woman can improve her
self unbelievably, no matter how
long she has procrastionated in
beauty care!
BY all means make daily exercise
a part of your new routine when
you find yourself a housekeeper.
Count it n from the first. Your
routine should include two bending
exercises taken while standing. two
exercises taken while lying IN the
back lifting legs or torso and two
lying on the side. Lifting legs or
swinging them vigorously.

cloths or cotton waste. Be sure to
do this with all the doors and win
dows open, and be sure that there Is
no open flame nearby. When this
is dry your floors are ready for re-

Dear Miss Nowell-I would like
your advice about slip covers and
curtains for my living room. 1t is
a summer bungalow with inside
walls (unplastered) of brown wood.
1t faces west and north. My rug is
oriental, brick red background and
a beautiful shade of blue predomi-
mating. There is also some rose and
gold in the rug. 1 would like to
make the color scheme for the room
blue and gold, and I need slip cover
material for two wicker chairs and a
sofa. One wing chair Is covered In
plain blue My curtains are tailored
pongee and feel they are not color
full enough. Can they be dyed gold?
M. Y. D., De Land, Fla.
Answer would suggest that you
keep your slip cover materials light,
the shade of your pongee curtains,
for the background color and then
use stripes in blue and gold or cord
ing or moss fringe to tie into your
color scheme. The reason you think
your curtains are not colorful
enough is that everything else in
the room is of such intense color, the
brown walls, red and blue rug and
the deep blue chair. I think you
need the light tone for contrast. and
think. too, that small motifs or
stripes on a light ground will pro-
vide the contrast that the room
needs.
Dear Miss Novel;: I saw an "ad'
in an out-of-town paper describing
plastic chairs and small tables for
a very low price. These looked very
delicate in the picture and I Won
dered if they would break. II they
are practical, I wanted to get
small dresser chair and low table
for my daughters room at college
next year. Will you let me know
what you think about these? have
read several of your articles describ-
ing plastic furniture and I am, very
much interested in it. K L. H.
Answer-Most of the plastics will
not break, but I am afraid, from
your description, that these chairs
and tables are of the miniature
variety and not designed for practi-
cal use. Plastics are much in de-
mand now for defense orders and
it will be wiser to wait for good,
sturdily designed furniture of this
material until after these orders are
filled. Plastic chairs to be practical
should be made of tubes not less
than Ia inches in diameter. and
the better ones have two or three
of these tubes bound together. Be-
cause of the amount of the ma
