Answer-There is a metal vene-
tian blind that goes on the outside
of your windows, sits out at an an
gle like an awning, has adjustable
stats and, it seems to me, offers all
the advantages of both the blind
and the awning. The open Stats do
not prevent circulation of air, you
may adjust them from the inside
and their sturdy construction and
nice colors make them attractive
with any type Of architecture.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Our metal garden furniture seems
to be badly rusted in spite of the
fact that the paint job seemed in
tact when We stored it last fall. Is
it all right to put on coat of paint
right over this, or should the old
paint be taken of?
BOB.
Answer-It would be good idea
to give the rust spots good rub
down with coarse steel wool and a
coat of aluminium before applying
the final coat of paint. This will
clean of the rough rust spots, pre-
vent other rust spots forming and
give a smooth surface for the new
paint. Then be sure to get metal
enamel that will Withstand outside
use and your worries are over. 1t
is always a good plan to paint the
furniture with aluminium before you
store 1t in the fall, so that it is
already for a new coat of paint
when you take 1t out in the spring
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am interested in modern furni-
ture and had planned to purchase
living room suite of blond mahog-
any. I have also seen several pieces
in a golden tone, sort of a toast
color, which Is very good looking. Is
this as smart as the blond, and
would it be a good idea to COM
bine the two?
MRS. OR.
Answer-The golden or toast
shade is a new color and finish
which has been developed this last
year. It came about mainly because
the blond tones tended to darken as
time went on, and as this golden
tone is nearer the true mahogany
shade it holds its color with use.
I think it is one of the most attrac-
tive of the new mahogany finishes. !
would suggest, however, that if you
want contrast, you select the blond
finish, and small pieces in the tradi-
tional deep mahogany finish, as this
will have depth and richness. Or,
use the new toast color by itself and
accent its tone in deeper and lighter
rugs and upholstery fabrics.

Most Girls Ignore Warning Signs
= Pointing to Marriage Failure

drudge of a mother washing and
cooking and baby tending can have
few illusions about the ease Of mat
rimony.
Apparently the average girl never
gives a single thought to the future
when she marries. She doesn't sit
down and try to figure out what
sort of a husband Tom. Dick or
Harry is going to make. She doesn't
ask herself how she is going to
like having a drunken man come
staggering in every night, or how
she will enjoy playing second fiddle
to her husbands latest flame. She
doesn't even consider where her next
meal is coming from. She just gets
married, anyway.
And, of course, why there are so
many unhappy marriages, so many
fighting and quarreling husbands
and wives, so many wrecked homes
and half-orphaned children, SO
many divorces, is because, after all
marriage doesn't end at the altar
1t begins there. And it isn't made
up of dubdub sentimentalities. 1t
consists of hard realities. And
when the benused bride wakes UP
from her trance and sees what she
has gotten for . husband, only too
often she throws 1t back on the
bargain counter.
Why girls are so eager to marry
nobody can explain, but if they
would only take time to do little
shopping around among the men
and pick out something worth hav-
ing, they would save themselves and
the balance of the world a lot of
headaches. DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star., 1941-04-25

Does the average woman, no mat
ter what her age, race or previous
condition of servitude, think of mar
riage only in terms of romance and
sentiment? Does she labor under
the hallucination that there is some
magic in the marriage ceremony
that will catch her up into a cloud
of glory where she will be miracul-
ously protected from all the prob
lens of life? Does she honestly be-
lieve that marriage automatically
changes a drunkard into prohibi-
zionist; turns a lazy loafer into a
go-getter: makes a grinding tyrant
tender and gentle, and will keep her
from ever being hungry again, or
wanting a new hat? 1t seems silly
even to ask these questions, yet 1t
is daily borne in on me that a vast
number of my sex seem to park
their common sense and cast all
prudence and judgment to the winds
when they marry. Every mail brings
me dozens of letters from women
telling Of marriages they are about
to enter into that are so predestined
to failure that I wonder that any
one outside of lunatic asylum
should even consider taking so rash
q step. Here's a school teacher, for
instance-and I am quoting actual
cases-who is contemplating marry
ing one Of her boy pupils, who is
much younger than herself, al
though he has never earned a dollar
in his life and has no way of sup
porting even himself, and she will
lose her job if she marries. An
other sweet young thing writes that
she and her boy friend have planned
to 60 on relief as soon as they are
married. Girls by the thousands
are deliberately marrying drunkards,
gamblers, philanderers, tightwads;
boys who even before marriage abuse
them, curse them, neglect them and
show so plainly that you would
think that even blind woman
could see it, that they have no quail
ifications for making good hus-
bands. And thousands upon thous-
ands of girls marry boys who are
penniless and jobless.
Why do these women marry as
they do? They are not idiots. On
the contrary, many of them are col
lege bred; nearly all of them high
school graduates. They are not ig-
norant of life. The great majority
of them are business girls who know
the worth of a dollar and just how
far it will 60.
They are not swept to the altar
on some irresistible tide of passion,
for often the girl who is about to
commit hara-kari by making an ILL
starred marriage, asks my advice
about which one of two poor pros
poets she shall take. And heaven
knows the girl who has grown up
in q poor family and watched her

Use Patience
In Handling
Shy Child
This Manifestation
Of Fear Unaided
Bv Punishment
By Leftice Lee Street,

Hardly a child has lived who has
not suffered through one or more
periods Of shyness, but If this timid-
ity persists and becomes exagge-
rated, the parents must practice
patience and tolerance in their
efforts to dispel 1t.
The trouble will only be aggravated
if attention is called to it, particu-
larly if this is done before others,
by scolding or by trying to shame
the child out of his shyness. Punish
ment is absolutely Of no avail in
such cases.
Shyness is really manifestation
of fear in the child. 1t may indicate
fear of older people. of strangers,
both adults and children, of animals,
sounds or unknown places. Or 1t
may be a sign of fear of failure, of
being ridiculed or called SISSY" The
child who is laboring under such
apprehensions shows that he is not
at all sure of himself. He is afraid
to attempt anything alone. and is
even too frightened to speak.
Sadly enough. some little children
are treated roughly at home,
punished and spoken to harshly.
Such cruel treatment can intimidate
a child to such a degree that he will
not have confidence in any one, and
certainly not in himself. He retires
into uncertain silence, afraid of the
punishment that he has learned to
expect.
Children who are slow in their
school work, or in learning games,
or those who are obliged to compete
with more skillful or older children
all the time, are apt to give up with
a what is the use of trying?" atti-
tude because they feel hopelessly de-
feated at the start.
Such a child should be patiently
taught and encouraged at school,
and he should be given simple les
sons and games to learn so that he
can learn them well. Self-confl-
dence swells forward when a task is
successfully accomplished.
Sometimes an older child who has
this fear of failure will resort to
Secretiveness, and will refuse to tell
any one what troubles him. Try to
persuade your timid youngster to
discuss his worry with you, but do
so in a very casual manner.
Children absorb the atmosphere
around them and they are influenced
by the attitude of the adults they
see every day. So be sure not to
exaggerate the situation or show too
much concern lest you increase your
child's fear.
If possible, try to direct the play
of group of children toward a
game in which your child can hold
up his end. Success always in
creases confidence. Skill in a game
or games can change a timid child
into an active, unself- conscious
youngster who is eager to play with
other children.

Several Good
Lessons for
Grooming
Small Details Pay
Tenfo1d for the
Effort Taken
By Patricia Lindsay

There are so many little things
q woman can do to enhance her
beauty-smal details of grooming
which pay tenfold for the effort they
take, and In money, they cost little.
For instance, a refreshing and
soothing complexion tone-up for
even the most sensitive skin may
be had from common sweet milk.
Remove dust and surface oil from
the skin with warm water and a
mild soap, rinse thoroughly and
dry. Then dip fluffs of cotton into
milk and pat gently all over the
face and neck. Repeat this several
times and then lie down and relax
with witch hazel pads on your eyes
until the milk has dried. Then
rinse 1t OF and quickly skim over
your face with an ice cube wrapped
in q linen handkerchief. Then you
are ready for your glamorizing make
up.
One of the incest ways of cop
ing with tired, aching and unat-
tractiye feet is to give them q
glycerin treatment at home. You
may purchase it in any drug store
Start by plunging the feet into
tub of warm soapsuds. With a
stifi brush, scrub briskly to soften
callouses and bumps and take the
aching WEAKNESS out of your tired
feet. Dry well with q bath towel.
Bumps on your heels caused by
wearing loose-fitting opera pumps
rs well as other annoying CAL
louses, respond to pure glycerin
rub which acts as q softening agent
particularly right after a foot soak
ing and scrubbing.

Life gets just little easier every
day, we observe wisely If not orig
inally. For instance, the pre-shaped
crown is definitely here to- stay in
masculine millinery and is now ac-
cepted as the sensible way to give
the wearer a regular hat creased
and shaped much better than he
could do it himself. These pre-
shaped jobs cover the field from the
round telescope to the conservative
spread crease-and even the center
crease.
In crown shapes, the crease
rounded at back and pinched in
front is doing leaps and bounds in
popularity. So is the crown
that tapers inward from the top of
the hat band line.
