By Patricia Lindsay

My hat Is OIL to the girls Of
today who marry their soldier sweet
hearts, send them of to training and
the war, and then turn to making a
living for themselves. These girls
deserve praise for they are making
their men happy and facing the
future with as much fearlessness as
Americas pioneer women.
Their problem is a tough one
on little money they must keep
lovely looking for their careers
and men. without having the near
ness Of their husbands, with their
love and understanding. at the
end Of the day. Ef1cient, lovely,
courageous-on a budget!
And it is amazing how well most
OF them do their job! Any morning
you can see them on their way to
work, looking fresh and vital and
pretty. They soon learn the little
economies of grooming and the
energy-saving way of living. They
reduce their grooming and living
problems to the fundamental ABCs
and look the better for it, If you

have always maintained that
the most vital things to keep a
girl lovely are these: Good health,
cleanliness, sense in purchasing her
clothes and beauty aids.
II health is good one rests well,

light 1t gives. If one keeps skin
and scalp and body clean, one has
good foundation for beauty. And
limited wardrobe well chosen. and
limited makeup and other cosmetics
chosen for efficiency and possible
beauty enhancement are better by
far, than those poorly chosen of
greater number.
When time is limited we seem to
get more done-isn't that true? How
much do you accomplish each day
II you have two weeks vacation?
I know, nothing.
With her day occupied with wage

During them she grooms herself,

choice, proceed according to direc-
tions on the package. If you use plas-
ter OF paris fill a paper cup half full
of water, drift In" the plaster until

Dear Miss NOVEL;: took my felt
lined table. pads out of the closet this
morning to find them completely
covered with mildew. They also smell
muSty and hesitate to use them on
the table until the odor is removed.
Can you tell me what will remove
both the mildew stain and the odor?
F. H. E.
Answer-The only bleaches which
would remove the stain of mildew
will also remove most of the color,
so 1 am afraid you will have to
forget the stain. However, you may
remove the mold and odor by using
one of the good dry cleaning agents
which you would use to clean your
dresses. This may be the carbon
tetrachloride type or the benzine
type. Do this out Of doors if possible
and leave the table pads in the sun
to dry and freshen as long as pos
sible.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: A wet cleaning
cloth was accidentally left on my
living room floor where it remained
over night. When removed it showed
deep gray stain on the floor which
no amount of scrubbing will remove.
Is there any way that this may be
bleached out without running the
finish on the floor? They are very
light floors with waxed finish
l.. G.
Answer-A few oxalic acid crys-
tails dissolved in water will give you
bleach which l feel sure will re-
move the stain. Paint it on and per-
init it to remain 20 minutes. Then
wash it Off If the stain still shows
when the wood is dry you may re-
peat the treatment. This will remove
the shellac and wax, but the wax
may be renewed and will tide you
over until such time as you feel that
you can reflnish the whole floor.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: What do you
recommend instead of starch as
size or stiffening for lace curtains?
N. H. M.
Answer-Lace curtains dipped in
water to which has been added a
cup of borax and ironed while wet
will have the same quality as when
new. Gum arabic mixed with water
will make sitter sizing which will
last for some time. though it is just
about as difficult to iron as ordinary
starch.

ing up to, in our rambling way, is
that the latest word on rayon stock
ings comes from a buyer who de-
clares that the new selection dries
In only IA hours. OF course, that can't
touch your nylons or silks, and 1t
means that you'll have to own more
than one pair unless you're Ia
hour-per-night sleeper, but It's def
niteiy step in the right direction.
Seems to us that if they can manage
to cut the drying time down from 43
