Healthful Recreation
Advocated for All
Women Workers

All work and no play is no better
| for Jacqueline than it is for her
more famous brother-so say lead
ing experts in the field of recreation.
In these days, especially, with so
many girls working long hours
under the most tense conditions,
the moments of healthful relaxation
assume a new Importance. and with
this idea in mind, fall and winter
! program of exercises has been
inaugurated in Washington.
Girls and women of all ages are
accepting eagerly the opportunities
| offered If they do not know how
to swim, they may join small
groups receiving expert instruction.
Or, if they prefer some other form
Of exercise, there are classes and
groups learning badminton, basket
ball, bowling, square dancing, ball
room dancing. fencing, bicycling
and tennis-all under competent
| leadership. Daytime workers will
| find after-office ork-outs" avail
able, while those on the graveyard
shift will be able to take advantage
of many of these activities during
the day.
This program. which gets under
way on October 5, even caters to
the girl who Just wants to relax
or who cannot take exercise. A
fine massage department with cab
met baths and solarium is the place
for her.

Women S News Editor.


Women are being exhorted to keep
the home fires burning, while their
men are engaged in war workout
| perhaps they should also be eX-
! horted, just as strongly, to keep
| the homes FROM burning! This
year, National Fire Prevention
| Week, which will be observed from
october to 10, has an even greater
significance than usual.
| With building and household ma
| terials so difficult to obtain. damage
from even small fire will be a seri-
Gus matter to repair. Everything in
our homes, and every bit of our
homes themselves, must be made to
last just as long as possible, and re-
| placement will become more and
more uncertain. Surely, fire that
| starts from carelessness amounts to
criminal waste, these days!
Figures show that two thirds of
all fires are in buildings, and a third
| Of all fire losses are in dwellings
Nearly all Of these fires could be
| prevented by thought and care.
The majority of fires in the home
start from rubbish, defective CHM
neys, combustible roofs, defective
heating apparatus, matches and
careless smoking, gasoline and other
in1ammable liquids, and electrical
defects. Checking over that list, you
can easily see where the fires they
started could have been prevented
if some one responsible for the safety
of the home had taken the trouble
| to correct the situation.
Goodness knows, this year, with
all the searching we have been doing
for scrap of all kinds in our apart
ments and houses. there should be
no accumulation of rubbish Also

Dear Miss Novel;: T have two
very lovely Audubon prints which I
wish to have framed to hang over a
buffet in my dining room. The buff
let Is large, Of old buried mahogany,
and in some way I must make the
prints larger and more important by
the right frame. I am a little afraid
OF using color as I wish to show the
color of the birds plumage in the
prints. Can you suggest the proper
frame so that these pictures will
make the wall space above the fur
niture interesting? J.D.
Answer: I would suggest a mat
around the prints of black glass with
a narrow gilt frame surrounding
that. This will give weight and i'm
portance to the pictures. Next to
that wide, fiat mahogany frame
similar to the old mirror frames
would tie the pictures in with the
buffet and make the whole a COM
plete unit. I would not use color
unless you need the accent of color
on that side of the room. I think
you are wise in letting the prints
speak for themselves"

which will be a mighty good thing!
But the other hazards are there.
Check carefully to see whether any
are present in your home. Have
your heating apparatus put in

anyway to get the most heat out of

self and the family about careless
smoking. and before going to bed
be sure that every smoldering cigar
cite butt is really out in an ash tray
and not in wastebasket or behind
a sofa cushion.
Remove accumulations of leaves,
etc, from your roof and cutters,
Have some one check on the conoi-
ton OF your roof and, if possible.
see that it is entirely fireproof. At
the same time your chimneys should
be thoroughly checked and any Ge-
fects corrected.
Be careful when using electric
irons, heaters, etc, and see that
they are turned off when YOU leave
them. Don't put those electric heat
ers you'll be using so much this
winter in front of a bed or chair
with clothing or curtains. If you're
not sure your electric wiring is in
good shape have an electrician look
it over.
Don't let oily rags lie around,
don't bring infammable fluids in
doors, keep stove tops and ovens
free OF grease, don't dry clothes
near stove. In other words, prac-

Diary

There was more than mere FASH
ion significance in the glamorous
clothes worn by the audience at
the opening performance OF "This
Is the Army" The trailing gowns
and ermine coats were there, the
minks and white fox jackets made
a handsome picture and a luxurious
one. But it meant something more.
Because we don't think most OF
them were new.
And that is significant because tt
proves that women may not be
buying evening clothes and ex-
pensive dinner outfits this year,
but it also answers the skeptics who
have declared that women don't care
about dressing" in wartime. 1t in
dicates that the desire to be lovely
and appealing as we'll as patri-
otic still is strong in the feminine
mind and it proves, to our satisfac-
ton at least, that the effect of a
Well-groomed, glittering gathering
OF ladies is still one of the best
morale builders going!
Talk about the short dinner dress.
Rave about the black street frock
for all after-dark festivities. 1t NAV
be quite true for run-of -the-milI
occasions, but when a special eve
nlng comes along, Mrs. America,
dons her flowing gown. puts on her
fur jacket and pins an orchid or
two on her shoulder. She becomes
once again the spirit of graciousness
and charm which will persist as long
as women love beautiful clothes and
dignifled living.
washington women didn't show
signs of extravaganza and thought
lessness when they appeared at the
theatre in their most glamorous
clothes. Some of the fashions were
new, OF course, but most, we'll
venture to say. were carefully
cherished parts of former seasons
wardrobe, cared for because today's
woman is aware of the need for
loveliness and inspiration combined
with economy and practically.
Yes, it was a good feeling to see
the cleaning sequins, the decollete
dresses, the luxurious furs, It
means that today's woman will go
on dressing to please those around
her and to make her own moments
of relaxation as normal as they can
be in these days. 1t was pleasant
to see and hear the approval of the
uniformed men in the audience,
many of whom had expressed a
real fear that women would turn
too practical in their dress.
Washington's ladies might remove
the orchids they wore on their
shoulders Tuesday evening, and
present them to themselves.

to do with this side of the room so
that it will be possible to use
furniture in this space? M. C. B.
Answer-One of the simplest solu-
tons is to use pair Of decorative
folding screens across this corner
and place your furniture in front
of it. AS your openings are too
large for either beauty or use, this
is thoroughly feasible. This give you
a nice angle within the room which
could take a love seat, or the dlvan
with lamp and small table, or give
you a chair and table group which
would be mplimentary distance
from the large window group. II you
wish to be very elegant you might
use a screen of mirror panels. Or
YOU might build temporary half
partition across this corner within
the living room. Built just to the
height of the back of your sofa, it
could be wide enough for plants and
decorative accessories. The passage
at the back should be wide enough
for comfort in passing between the
hall reception room and living room.
The side facing the hall might be
used as a bookcase and be most at
tractive. Screens, curving partitions
and stationary half walls are an i'm
portant part of room design these
days and would be solution to your
difficulty I am sure.
Dear Miss Novel;: I have an old
mahogany china cabinet which has
curved glass sides. This sits up on
curved legs and has a panel of
mirror and a scroll across the top
close to the wall This is fine
furniture, has been kept in perfect
condition, holds a vast amount of
glass and china, but it is so definitely
dated 1912 that I feel like apologiz-
ing for it in my dining room. have
a Duncan Phyfe dining table and
rather nice Sheraton-ty chairs and
wondered il you could think of any,
thing I might do to make this china
cabinet more in keeping with my
other furniture. H. B.
AnsWer--A cabinet maker could
make YOU circular base for this.
1t should follow the same curving
outline as the cabinet. extending
about an inch beyond the present
base. Remove the legs and the
mirror top from the cabinet and set
it onto the new base. The new
lower section might have two doors
which would inclose a large storage
space for linen or dishes Keep the
base very simple. stain and finish it
to match the upper section and try
to match the hardware of the
Sheraton OF Phyfe period to decorate
the doors. You should never have
to apologize for this if you have it
carried out simply and we'll.
