Manners
of the
Moment

I really don't understand folding
chairs. Some people are good with
them. They take to them like ducks
take to water. But give me fold
ing chair and, invariably, If I get
the thing to stand up on four legs
at all, the arms stick out on the
other side.
The usual trick, for a woman In
this predicament. Is to turn to the
man of the family and say, "You
fix it,"
That would be fine if the man of
the family always Is around when
you want to sit out in the garden
I. . or if he is any better at folding
chairs than you. He isn't always.
The only answer is to give up
chairs when you sit outdoors. Just
roll out an old sheet, or lie on the
grass. It's much less difficult. And,
after all, what did our ancestors do?
They didn't have to struggle with
folding chairs. So why In the world
should we? JEAN.

tnOUSNt 10 your Dcduty Ioutuic 40
to the appropriate choice OF a
stuffed animal to decorate the dor
mitory bed.
Start with your coiffure. It's a
smart idea to get your hair into
good condition with some scalp
treatments to counteract the salt
water and sun damage, and once
your tresses are in shape the prob
lem of keeping them that way will
be sinplified. Have a good haircut
and a permanent before you leave,
and if you think that the new
shorter hairdo so many college
girls are adopting will become you,
by all means have consultation
with your favorite hairdresser and
learn how to keep the feather bob"
in its intended state. Plan to have
coiffure that you can handle
pretty well, thus avoiding time-tak-
ing and costly trips to whatever
beauty salon Is near your school.
Finally, be generous with the hair
brush If you want clean, shining
locks.
AS for makeup, the less the
better. We don't mean that you
must go so "au natural" that you
frighten little children. but that
you do avoid a heavily painted,
artificial look. Save the eye shadow,
the thick mascara and rouge for
those occasions when you're a stag
line menace, and even then be
,areful of OVERRIDING the glamour
girl" act. Normally, settle for a
bright, becoming shade of lip
stick, foundation cream or lotion
| and a powder that has some very
close relation to your skin tone.
And, above all, use your cosmetics
only over scrupulously clean
skin.
1t hardly seems necessary to
start your school life laden with
wrinkle creams and rejuvenating
lotions, even If your doting Aunt
Mathilde did give you that luxuri-
Gus fitted kit. Probably you'll be
happier with your favorite cleans
ing cream, an astringent If you
need it. and perhaps a good
"masque" for those occasions when
you must come to life" for an i'm
portant date. Add your pet cologne
preferably "woodsey" scent thai
will go we'll with skirts and sweat
ers, and more sophisticated per.
fume for special occasions. Take
along a good supply of cream Of
liquid deodorant, a depilatory o.
razor and plenty of busting powder
and tale. We do think that ar
eye kit containing those wonderful
lotions. "eye pads" and other rest
full items is a good investment
especially when your study hour:
are strenuous. Don't forget com.
plete manicure equipment, includ-
ing pale polish or clear. bright
tone that will harmonic with every
costume. Incidentally. the trend is
toward nails worn slightly shorter
this season and if possible, better
groomed than ever.
Avoid the ridiculous high styles
whatever you do. 1t may be your
idea OF something right out OF
this world to wear a dead-white
face and deep purple lips, but ii
only marks you as a creature trying
too hard to attract attention. This
is especially true if you're a fresh
man. Wait until you're we'll estab-
lished before breaking out with
bright yellow fingernails and eye
brows shaped like question marks
When you know the ropes you
can go in for startling effects-and
by that time you won't want to.

| Why Grow
odd?
By Josephine Lozyman

Letters asking how to overcome
insomnia have increased recently
This is no doubt due to the fact that
more people have worries. We are
all living under more tension than
we were in peace time.
My first warning to writer's of
those letters is do not use even the
mildest drugs to induce sleep except
on a doctors prescription. Also,
remember that worry over not sleep
ing can keep you awake.
It often happens that a person
who has slept soundly all of his life
may encounter a short period dur
ing which he sleeps poorly or lies
awake for hours before getting to
sleep. This may happen when he is
under extreme strain of some kind.
This state might pass away natu-
rally if he doesn't begin worrying
about it. His worry keeps the ball
rolling. He goes to bed with the
jumpy belief that he will not go to
sleep.
If you have trouble sleeping don't
worry. You can make yourself COM
Portable and lazy in bed and enjoy
the relaxation. Beside that, If you
actually relax all over you will bene-
fit by the time you lie there even
though you are awake. Close your
eyes. Begin at your feet and relax
all the way up to the top of your
head. At any rate, make up your
mind that you will enjoy your rest.
The habit of taking your problems
and worries to bed can become
vicious and bite your sleep in half
Make it a rule never to do this. If
you must worry get up and sit In a
chair while you think.
Some persons are greatly soothed
by soft music and can drift off to
sleep after listening to it. This is
relaxing to most persons. Don't get
jitterbug music or even anything as
exciting as symphony, but some soft
lifting melodies, sWeetly played II
you wish to have my leaf1et Shut
Eve" which gives you more aids
with which to battle insomnia, send

velope with your request to Jose

White or Whole
Wheat Bread
with Honey
PROPER Directions
For Kneading 1t
Also Offered
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

The sweet, honey fragrance of
freshly made bread is in the air
now The taste of it clings to my
palate, because almost as soon as it
came out of the oven I committed
what my mother thought an almost
unforgivable sin-cut the loaf while
1t was warm.
I make rolls more often than
do yeast bread. A reader, however,
asked me for a recipe for bread
made with enriched flour and fla
vored with honey; also for direc-
tions for kneading the dough after
it Is mixed.
These are little hard to put on
paper, although easily demonstrated.
The dough should be turned out
on Toured surface, folded for
ward with fingers and then pressed
down firmly with the palms of the
hands. 1t should be turned a quar-
ter of the way around, folded and
pressed again with the palms of
the hands. This should be repeated
until the dough is elastic and will
not stick to the surface. Kneading
will take from two to five minutes.
To test, cut the dough with sharp
knife and if there are no large
bubbles kneading has been sufficient.
The hands may be creased or
Toured if necessary. This depends
largely upon the natural warmth
Of the hands.

cake compressed yeast.
2 cups milk, scalded.
tablespoons honey.
3 teaspoons salt.
tablespoons butter.

Crumble yeast into bowl, and
slowly add scalded milk which has
been cooled to lukeWarm, stirring
until yeast is dissolved. Stir in
honey, salt, butter and one-half the
flour. Beat until smooth. Add
enough of the remaining flour to
make a smooth dough. Turn out
on Toured board and knead until
smooth. Place dough in creased
bowl, brush with melted shortening
cover end set in warm place and
let rise until double in bulk. Knead
and shape into two loaves, and
place in two creased loaf pans and
brush tops with melted shortening
Cover and let rise until double in
bulk. Bake in a moderately hot
oven, 425 degrees F., Is minutes,
then reduce heat to moderate, 375
degrees F., 30 to 35 minutes.
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
Use preceding recipe for white
bread, substituting three cups OF
unsifted whole wheat flour for three
cups of white flour.

valid, If she is old and feeble, she
deserves all the care that her chill
dren can give her. But no woman
who is strong and healthy and able
bodied, no matter what her age,
should graft her living off others.
In order that she may not do this
she should always be preparing her
self for the time when she may have
to earn her own bread and butter.
She should make a fine art of her
domestic duties SO that she can turn
her skill into money if she needs to.
There are never enough good cooks
and seamstresses and baby-tenders
to go around.
The reason SO many mothers-in-
law are so disagreeable and fault
finding and meddling is because
they are idle and bored and depend
ent, and that would sour the dis
position Of an archangel The
solution of their problems is jobs,
having their own pocketbooks, and
their own homes.

Select a Clever
Announcement
OF Adoption
First Word Should
Come From the
Nezv Parents
Bv Emily Post

II y A""y Vot
The card was not sent me, so I
have nothing to go by further than
this description from a reader:
my husband has brought home
as sample, a printed, gilt-edge
card which he found at stationers
reading: I have come to make my
home with My eyes are ). My
hair is =. My name is - Do you
think these announcements would
do to fill in and send for the adop-
ton Of our little girl?"
Since this is obviously what the
card is intended for, I must say
that they would probably do" But
I think better wording than this
could be found and very likely on a
more appealing card. (There are
such lovely greeting cards for every
imaginable situation. There surely
must be some for an adoption) But
If you choose to copy the wording
on this card 1 should prefer to have
the announcement made by the
parents instead of the child, "Her
age is 3, her eyes are blue, her hair
is brown, her name is Alice, and
our home is to be her homeland
she is to be our daughter"
Dear Mrs. Post: I am giving the
rehearsal party the night before the
wedding for my son and his bride
to-be. 1t will be a buffet supper
and we want to have everything as
friendly and as informal as possible
Am I to invite the wedding party OF
let my son do it, and may the
invitations be given verbally in
either case? And are any others
besides the wedding party to be in
vited to this supper?
Answer: Invitations given verbally
by your son would be entirely
proper. Usually none but those ir
the wedding party are included, bu
your son and his bride may per
fectly well ask other intimate
friends of theirs If they want to.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband ane
I are both sdoctors and are callet
DR.. John and DR.. Mary by oul
friends. In fact, 1t seems we art
called these names by most people
When signing postcards and letter!
to friends, would it be improper
to use our titles and write DR.. Johr
and Dr. Mary?
Answer: If you put these names
in quotation marks and send then
only to those who call you by them
there could be no objection. But
that seriously to sign your name.
DR.. John and DR.. Mary Blank
would be just as bad as to sigr
them Mr.. and Mrs. John Blank.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it necessary al
an afternoon or evening wedding
for the mothers of the bride anc
bridegroom to wear long dresses:
They would have no use whatever
for the long skirts afterward.
Answer: 1t is not necessary that
they wear long skirts or that they
get any clothes that will be useless

Calm Assurance
OF the Adult
Aids Child
Protect Him From
Fear by Keeping
Him Occupied
Bv A ngeIo Pafri

In wartime war is the way of life.
| We must adjust our thinking and
our behavior to its demands. Much
as we hate it, there is no way out
but the acceptance of the hardships
and annoyances and a firm resolve
to make the best of a bad situation
for the children's sake if not for our
own.
We are burdened, harassed, wor-
ried to frazzles. Our families are
scattered; the young peoples
careers are broken before they have
begun; nothing is as we would have
it. We have been forced out OF
our comfortable ways into new and
strangely inconvenient ones and we
are distressed.
Pleasant ways of life were wiped
out in a gunfash at Pearl Harbor
There is one lump of sugar for our
morning cup of coffee. There are
no tires for the car. Living as
usual is ~lt of the question, because
the usual has vanished.
People upon whom we depended
are missing from their posts. The
doctor has gone to the base hos
pital the teacher has gone to the
munitions works, the cook to the
factory. The butcher boy is flying
plane in China and the grocery
boy is driving an Army truck some
where across the world War, war,
war everywhere and nothing to do
about it but help get along with it.
We older ones can get along
somehow, but the children have to
be helped to live through the war
in such a fashion as to lessen its
evil effects as far as possible. Our
attitude will affect them and
decide their attitudes. If We can be
calm and assured, if we can face
whatever comes coura geously and
confidently, they will be courageous
and strong in their turn. That Is
our chief concern for the duration
then, because If we win the war and
lose this generation of children to
illness, weakness and despair, we
need not have fought it.
The children who suffer most
during wartime are the adolescents.
They are keenly alive to all that
goes on about them. They miss
nothing of the news, excitement
and drama Of the day. They are
sensitive and eager to know all
about the battles and the men who
fight them. Many of them want to
get into the service and share the
adventures so glamorously depicted
on the radio and in the news. Many,
indeed most of them, are frightened
and their excitement is hiding it
even from themselves.
These children must be steadied
by the quiet, strong assurance OF
their parents Words alone will
not accomplish this, but occupation
that is useful will. Every older boy
and girl should be kept busy at
worth while work for the duration
at least. Busy children are happy,
and happy children have a hold on
health that even war fails to
loosen.
Plan to keep these children oc-
cupied at home, in school and in
the community and protect them
from the worst effect of the war
fear.

War Preparation

The immediate hullaballoo in
San Francisco concerns the need
for war preparation-welding,
radio, general mechanics. etc,
both IN summer schools and
regular courses.
Swarms OF men and boys from
16 up were clamoring for such
instruction In order both TO
serve their nation and to pro-
mote their own futures. And
plenty of machinery could be
had on application TO the federal
government.
Bur the San Francisco high
schools were not interested.
Particularly they were not in
in summer courses.
Moreover they had no intention
of being pushed around on the
subject.
Why should a mere army air
or navy man dictate their
scholastic program TO them?
So some of the machines al
ready received were sent 10
Oakland. across the bay, or dis
tributed among country high
schools where they would be
used for six hours a day instead
of the three eight-hour shifts
which justified their investment.
In vain the navy pleaded and
the army sputtered. The long
privileged and protected board
Of education stood pat on its de-
