As far as changing family food
habits-"the hand that sets the
table is the hand that wields the
influence.
The important part the home
maker plays in improving family
diets was illustrated over and over
again in a recent Nation wide sur
vey Of what this country eats. In
this study. conducted by the Bureau
of Home Economics. well over one
third of the Nations families we're
estimated TO be living on diets be-
low the safety line" for good
nutrition.
"A closeup of these diets" says
DR.. Stanley. showed that thou-
sands of them could have been
brought up well above the safety
line at very little additional cost
In many cases this could have been
done simply by using more milk
in its less expensive form, eand by
including more of the cheaper
leafy and green-colored vegetables.
Likewise. economical choices can be
made in practically all of the i'm
portant food groups. 1t is up to
the homemaker interested in her
family's health to find out what
these choices are. For only by
keeping up-to-date on food, values
and nutrition-by good manage
ment-and by good cooking-can
she provide the very best diet the
food budget allows"

That Injustice
Be Forgotten
By Emily Post

1t is of course. the first impulse
of devoted parents to protect their
children and TO resent any unfair
ness shown them by the unthinking
or unknoVing But in the following
situation it would be doing the
daughter a real injustice TO en-
courage her mother to turn an Incl
dent into a situation. This mothers
letter says:
rs there something that I, as
mother of a timid daughter, could
do for her in this case: Two of her
school friends asked to give party
with my daughter here at our house.
They were to help with the games
and to serve the refreshments. They
did neither, but instead sat around
in corners most of the evening with
their boy friends. 1t was all very
unkind and my daughter cried bit
terly after the evening was over.
But she won't say anything 10 either
of these girls. and only tells me
that she has cried out her bitter
ness and would rather forget it. I
think the girls should be rebuked
and not allowed to go on doing
things like this, and I am wondering
what I could do"
At the time, you could have asked
them to help Mary bring in the ice
cream or TO help her with whatever
it was, but now that it is over, there
is nothing to do except take lesson
from it. 1t is easy to understand
your resentment against their selfish
i'll manners, but your daughter is
very wise in her determination to
forget the unhappy incident. The
less she says about it the more likely
is the unfairneSs of the co-hoSteSses
to be resented by those who were
there that night and saw things for
/ themselves. All young people resent
unfairnesS-except when those who
have been unfairly treated complain
too much. If you want to keep the
sympathy of every one inclined to-
ward your daughter, do not say a
word more. But don't repeat this
plan for any future party.

We are fast getting over OuI4fear
of color, and a house of spring,
1941, is very much alive with, Vi
brant outdoor color which rejects

Another bit Of news which WAS
started a year ago and is just cOT1l-
ing into its own is the possibility
of matching ColorS and cO-oTdina.-

of manufacturers to adhere closely

Or if you select two or three cOlors,
you will find that the shades have
been carefully blended when the
dye was mixed. so that even though
you have no color sense" you can
not go wrong in your choice. It
is a great help to the woman who
makes her own draperies and slip
covers to be able to walk into a
shop and set up the fabrics for

American, that peflOQ III our uIS-
tory when the struggle for existence
was over and furniture reflected the
leisure and elegance of a more
gentle way Of living. In this furnl-
ture are the severe, dignifled lines,
the restrained use of decoration
which demands the richness OF
beautiful fabrics and exquisite Or
nament for effect. This is the Ideal
type Of furniture for a washington
town house where the formality of
social and official life in the Capital
demands consideration. Mahogany
is king of this era, finished in a
deep warm brown which is foil for
all colors. Also, lacquered woods,
gilt. mirror. brass grilles and finals
contribute to the elaborate detail
of the period One Of the assets OF
this era is the small scale on which
much of this furniture is developed
so that it is adaptable to the small
house or apartment with no sacrifice
of dignity.
Contemporary, or modern furni-
ture as it is miscalled, has shown
such marked improvement in de-
sign and contour that We predict
it will cause more interest than any
other single group this spring. 1t
is smart, sleek. and above all. keyed
to the speed at which we live, so
that the time and attention 1t
demands is at a minimum and its
new surfaces and coverings are as
nearly indestructible as possible.
If yours is a busy household, such
as one where both heads of the
family 60 to business, you can't
help but respond to the efficiency
of running a home in which each
item OF furniture is designed for a
special purpose and nils it ade-
Quately.
The exciting thing about all of
these trends, whether your furni-
tJre is antique of the Colonial and
Federal periods or Contemporary,
is its use with new colors and
fabrics. Federal chairs and sofa
covered in candy pink, peppermint
striped satin, used against wall
paper with stripes six inches wide,
is really news. A small loveseat of
Georgian design is twice as good
looking when covered in one of

roses talWays hit with the LADIES', :
Snapdragons, carnations and corn
flowers for a really lovely Colonial"
garden bouquet. Muffs using these
flowers are also good and absolutely
certain 10 make hit.
In the more commonly seen type
of corsage, red and white carnations
carry out the spirit of the occasion
and camellias are gaining more and
more in popularity. A lei Of Carna-
ton petals or violets is extremely
smart and a good choice for the
slender girl who likes to cover up a
slightly bony neckline.
One of our favorite flower shops
has an item, or rather, several
items. that we heartily recommend
for Valentine giving. This is leWelry
of the plastic variety to which fresh
flowers may be attached. You may
buy necklaces, bracelets and pins for
the hair and have various flowers
fixed to them, thus Suitlng every
costume you choose to wear. And
now, We hear, there are rings with
the same versatile qualifications!
OF course, the delightful part Of
such a gift is that the recipient can
enjoy it indefinitely, changing the
poSleS from time 10 time. They're
not terribly expensive, either, which
is a great help. Picture necklace
and bracelet Of red and white car
nations worn with an evening gown
next Friday night We promise
that it will be a sensation.
If you receive flowers on Valcn-
tines Day, do little experimenting
to get the best effect O.. Sit before
your mirror and try the poSles IN
number of different ways. for you
may wear them as YOU please. If YOU
have a slightly full face. try gar

And, most of all, be sure that these
hints reach the proper masculine
ears if you want to look your flower
bedecked, highly pampered best on
this romantic festival.
And by the way. don't forget
those Valentine cards. Those we've
seen this year are Wonderful-amaz-
ingly sentimental, most of EN-. but
that's the whole idea. Some Of these

them than about any other wild
| flower, we are told.
All of our species of violets are
low herbs, either leafy or stem
less, that is, the flowers and the
leaves rise straight from the root
stock. The flowers have five sta
mems, the lowest two with small
appendages which project into the
nectar sac of the lower and odd
petal. The two stamens possessing
these spurs are developed in the
apetalous (having no petals fow-
ers which come after the petalifer-
| GUS flowers in most of the stemless
species with the exception of the
bird's-foot violet. The petaliferous
blossoms are rather irregular, the
lower petal extended into a spur or
sac back of the blossom. The lat
eral petals are usually narrower
than the upper two petals, and as
rule only the spur and lateral pet
ais in some species possess hairs
at their base.
There are "a species of violets ma
tive to the Eastern States, besides
many natural hybrids. 1t is great
fun and a wonderful experience to
work toward developing hybrid, for
violetS are very easy to hybridize.
Indeed, allied species of some groups
are apt to do this when growing
close together. And the hybrids
usually display characteristics which
are more or less intermediate to
those of their parent species. They
also have marked vim and vigor as
far as leaves and blooms are con-
cerned but are deficient in fertility.
Many times the violets of hybrid
origin are so unlike their mother
and unlike each other that you
would not recognize them as the
children of their parents, for,
strangely enough, they have revert
ed to the characteristics of their
ancestors.
The yellow downy transplants
easily and is one of the most charm
ing bits of color in your wild
flower garden. Given a chance, IL

Times in Trial. Heats Indicate
Fastest Tank Meet in City's
History for A. A. u. Titles

With all finalists determined by
last nights trial heats, during which
16-year-old Patsy Palmer broke two
records, the fastest swimming meet
in local history is expected tonight
when District 194l A. A. U. cham
pionships are decided in the Shore
ham pool
BY virtue of having nearly twice
as many entrants as its rival, Am
bassador, Miss Palmer's Shoreham
team is favored to win the women's
group title, but both the Y. M. C. A.
and Washington Golf and Country
Club have equal chance to cop the
mems team honors. The ~" has
nine men qualified and in all events,
while the country club has eight
representatives in four Both are
represented by teams in the 300
yard medley relay, but here again
the "Y' is favored because of the
new record set by its team last
night.
AS a result of her new records in
the 100-yard free style and l50-yard
medley, Miss Palmer is a prohibitive
choice to retain her local indoor
championships in those two events.
