hearted support to the problem OF
national ddefense.
At rally sponsored by the
Young Mems Republican League of
Washington County Mr.. Stewart
said he would work for program
in the interest of national welfare
and advancement.
He said he was in favor of mill
tary training, but believed the
trainees should be kept in this
country.

Stewart said:
Il have never campaigned against
a woman. I have never had fight
with a woman in my life and I do
not propose to have one now. I
will not criticize my opponent, but
I will say that serving in Congress
at this time is a full-time job and
one which takes experience"

Embroidered Pillowslips Nice Gifts
By Baroness Phantom

The winter bride loves to re-
ceive gifts with a personal touch
as who doesn't? Six pillowcases
make a welcome gift at any time,
but when they are embroidered
in lovely colors by the one who
presents them, they make long
lasting gift that any bride would
treasure. These designs are fun
to work, so why give plain pillow
slips when embroidery makes
such a difference?
Or perhaps you wish to re-
plenish your linen closet with
some lovely things made at your
leisure these long winter evenings
when the lamps glow brightly
and the fire CLEANS, and the rest
of the family is busy with reading
or homework.
Pattern envelope contains hot
iron transfers for six designs (two
each of three designs, each about
3lz by II inches; color chart,
stitch illustrations and full direc-
tions.

large flower pot with bricks and
sand to hold it firmly. Fasten
wire limbs onto the broomstick
as shown IN the sketch, and
cover the wire with green crepe
paper pine needles. Wind the
stem with paper, also. With a
star on top, cotton snow stuck In
place with silver snow drifting
over the whole thing, the effect
Is very lovely. Make two clusters
OF your real holly, tied with huge
tarleton bows to match your
table cover to hang on the wall
above the table. These may be
suspended by thin wire from the
molding or on slim pushpins
which do not make a mark on
the wall. In this way you may
create an effect of festivity in a
very limited space. At other
points in the room use bright red
candles, a low bowl of holly and
Christmas edibles for decoration.
The low table with the tree
may be used as a buffet in case
friends come to visit you, or as
a gift table for the rest of your
friends in the house. We suggest
that this might be an easy way
for several girls to have open
house" on Christmas Day and,
by sharing the work and the eX-
pense, they may still live up to
the spirit of the Yule season,
even though they may be far
from home.

Versatile Blouses Add to Wardrobe
By Barbara Bell.

Either one of these two blouses
combined with q skirt COM
pletes a costume which is right
for all daytime occasions! And
either of them will give new
fashion zest to any suit, jump
er or jerkin outfit they might be
made for!
The favorite classic, the tail
ored design in our Pattern No.
1507-B, is that good tailored
style we can't repeat too often,
especially In a wardrobe built
around skirts and odd jackets.
The smartly shaped triangle
pockets are a clever new detail
make them by applying just
one piece of fabric, folded.
The surplice front style is re-
freshingly different-but attrac-
lively simple all the while. You'll
find 1t amazingly flattering-
this yoke effect marked of with
. strip Of contrasting material
which seems to frame the head
and face. Smart full sleeves
are 20 decorated with q strip Of
contrast material.

foreign countries I decided on

During the day she worked in
the chief counsel's Office at the

studied, joined the Spanish and
Newman Clubs, became historian

Meanwhile, Irma kept her ears

creation of a central translating

Now when President Roosevelt or
some other Government official

of interest to Latin America,
she's likely to be up half the
night working. And she finds it
very exciting.
The thing that seemed
strangest here in the United

regarding women. They expect
their women to share not only

them are almost too natural in
their habits.
"Grown-up" looking dolls are
becoming more and more popu-
lar, not only for their charm but
because they are ideal for FASH
ion-minded tots who can design
truly style-wise wardrobes for
them. These miniature debu-
tantes have the most amazing
wardrobeS, some of them sport
ing ski costumes and skis as
well. Skating outfits, complete
with the shiniest of blades, are
in evidence, while other perky
young ladies have Hollywoodish
wardrobes complete with slacks.
Almost all the outfits include an
array of dainty lingerie from
bras and panties to slips, night
gowns and. If you please, girdles!
Evening dresses Of lace make
some of the dolls look like fugi-
tives from the Stork Club, and
they are worn enchantingly with
lace mantillas, evening bags and
"ermine" wraps. Hats, coats and
muffs of velvet spotted to look
like leopard are also among the
dainty fashions for dolls.
Interesting for the little girl
who owns a doll house is the
variety of new miniature furnish
ings which range from fire
screens to bath mats. You now
buy curtains by the pair or
select an entire ensemble Of gar
den furniture.
In with the usual collection Of
bicycles, chemistry sets and foot
ball equipment are a number Of
new Suggestions for the younger
men Of the household. The mill
tary influence already has in
vaded the Christmas toy scene
and from now on, unhappily
enough, 1t probably will become
greater. At any rate, instead Of
cowboys and Indians, youngsters
are choosing completely set-up
coastal defense units, anti-air-
craft guns and four -motored
bombers. After looking at a dis
play of Army trucks big enough
for Junior to ride in, it's reas-
suring to find a selection of hobby
horses with silly, mournful faces,
and to discover that the electric
train setup is still doing business.
Books and games, both quiet
and active ones of the latter, are

@. I work in a large Govern
ment Office and We are planning
to give group party this Christ
mas. We are going to decorate a
tree, serve refreshments and have
grab bag for gifts. Each of us
has been instructed to purchase
one gift and it is not to cost over
35 cents. 1t is mixed group and
some of the men are high officials.
I don't want to select something
that is useless and silly and am
at a loss as to what type of gift
I can buy for that price.
A. Desk and memorandum
pads of simulated leather, metal
calendars and telephone pads, key
rings with fashlight attached, an
inexpensive fiashlight for car or
theater and paper weights of va
rious kinds are about the best sug-
gestions we can offer for this
type of party.

@. MY roommate and I have
twin steamer trunks which 1t is
necessary that we keep In our
room. They will not go under the
bed and as we must use them for
storage we hesitate to send them
to the basement storage room.
Can you suggest any way we
might disguise their identity and
possibly make them useful?
A. You might set them end to
end to make a low sofa. Purchase
one of the folding mattresses
which are used on cots and place
on top of the two of them. Cover
this with a fitted cover and use
some pillows on it and you will
have a window seat or sofa. Or
set them one on top of another
beg a plywood box such as phono-
graphs or other large pieces OF
furniture are shipped in from the
dealer in your neighborhood. Re-
move the bottom and one side OF
this so you may push 1t back to
cover the two trunks. A coat OF
paint on this will make 1t look
like a chest and with mirror
above 1t will not be an eyesore.

the chances. I wouldn't, and I
followed your mother blind"
The women you marry are 60
ing to make you or break you,
boys. Many a jealous wife who
is always spying on her husband
and listening at the keyhole of
his consultation room explains
why some brilliant doctor has
never been able to acquire a
practice. Many an eloquent
preacher is driven from church
to church because his high-tem-
pered and bossy wife can never
get along with the Ladies' Aid
Society.
So, boys, when you are attracted
to a girl, forget about how blue
her eyes are before you pop the
question and ask yourselves what
sort OF a running mate she would
make. Would she pull her share
OF the load, or would she be an
1dler and a gutter? Would she
balk on every hill, or give her last
ounce of strength to help you get
over the top? Would she be
pace-maker who would urge you
on to your top speed, or would she
hold you back so you would lose
the race?
Is she a girl who would help
her husband by making him a
comfortable home, by giving him
good food and clean hearth to
sit by, and quiet and peace in
which he could relax and gather
up strength for the next days
work? Unless you have cast-iron
stomachs and no nerves, you will
never get anywhere If you are
married to slovenly housekeeper.
Will girl make the kind of
wife who would help you by
taking an interest in your work
and furthering your ambitions,
or would she yawn in your face
when you tried to tell her of your
hopes and plans? Very few men
with wet-blanket wives ever set
the world on fire.
Will a girl make the kind of
wife who would help her husband
by making friends for him? Half
OF the time we push the fortunes
Of some man because we like his
wife, or turn thumbs down on him
because his wife snooted us.
Would she make a good press
agent for her husband? Shake
speare says we are advertised by
our loving friends, and this goes
double when it is Friend Wife, for
we feel that mans wife knows
all about him and, il she thinks
he is a wonder, he must be. And,
on the contrary, nobody can ruin
a man so effectually as the wife
who is always complaining about
his not getting along, or being
hard to live with.
And finally. boys, ask yourself
If girl would make the sort of
wife you would be proud of.
Nothing is a greater handicap
to man than to have wife who
doesn't belong in his class.

hundred people; and has pro-
duced many pageants for con-
ventions, perhaps not on such a
large scale as the major shows
but each with its own theme,
costumes and sets, and many
smaller shows. Yet nowhere has
any costume or set or theme been
duplicated. Each show is original
in its entirety and Is an excellent
tribute to the imagination Of the
indefatigable worker in back OF 1t.
We all have pet ambitions and
Miss Russell is no exception. Hers
Is on a tremendous scale but 1t
is In proportion to the work she
has already done. 1t is to put on
pageants for service men In va
rious communities, that would bs
light and gay but would include
American history, its ideals and
conceptions Of liberty In It's
framework. One or many groups
could be used in this project but
the underlying idea Is to provide
free entertainment. II rehearsals
should cover 80 days, 1t would
mean one hour a day for
month that each participant
would spend in useful recreation.
Many young people would vol
unteer their services for such
a project. II such a program
should be undertaken, 1t would
call for groups Of directors In
each locality co-ordinating the
activities of each group. Surely,
such a plan would be an i'm
portant factor in the improving
Of the morale of the thousands
of soldiers now in service.
We are sure that If Miss Russell
ever starts such program 1t will
be handled with the finesse and
efficiency she has displayed In
all of her other festivals. Ger
tainly, one with her creative
ability can 60 on building these
tremendous shows with an amaz-
ing ease and do q great public
service in the bargain.

More About Pageants
By Frankie Kuhn.

Naturally, the tone Of Edith
Russell's pageants that we told
you about last week, must vary
from one section of the country
to another. Some areas are rich
in historical material, not only
historical but dramatic as well
and easily adapted to pageantry.
Others are not so richly endowed
with dramatic history but 1t
doesn't take Miss Russell long to
select and round out material
that is suitable. Soon the ma
chinery is in action and a festival
full of local interest, drama, color
and originality is presented to the
public.
Miss Russell has directed at
least so major productions, which
means participation Of several
