Brides This Year
Must Be Very
Practical

The bride will combine practically
with sentiment this year to an ex-
tent that may seem positively un-
romantic. Everything she buys,
from the humblest dishcloth to the
gown she will wear to the altar,
will be called on for long service.
The airy, misty, one-time-only type
of garments and accessories will be
banished from many a trousseau.
Girls of today realize that money
formerly spent for flnery is now
better used for War savings stamps
or for necessary or durable articles
needed for the home.
While the emphasis is on the prac-
tical, the bride can look as dainty
and feminine and her household
goods can be as attractive as ever.
A wedding dress made of clinging
washable rayon satin, or crispy tub
bable organdy, may be as enchant-
ing as any of the gowns of yester-
year. Moreover, it can be either
washed and dyed a more serviceable
color after the ceremony, or worn
over and over again between trips
to the wash tub.
When assembling the household
linens, the wise bride of limited
means will buy smaller quantities Of
good-wearing sheets and towels and
pillowcases rather than large guam
titles of those which are sleazy.
She will look for fast colors and
firm weaveS because these require
the minimum care on washday. So
far as possible she will try to have
her household furnishings easy to
keep clean and in good condition
with soap and water. From the
day she starts housekeeping she
will start her conservation program.
While this years bride may have
less choice about the things she buys,
she has greater opportunity to prove
her housewifely abilities. Even with
the present limits on what she can
get to furnish her home she can
demonstrate her good taste and her
thrift. In an age when American
inventive genius is finding substi-
tutes for many of the raw materials
that are essential to war, the Ameri-
can woman can show her skill in
creating pleasant, comfortable
home with the fewest demands upon
materials that are needed for the
war program.

Why Grow
odd?
Bv Losethine LoWman

There are several spots we are
likely to neglect. Many women
faithfully apply cream to their faces,
but leave their necks to shuttle for
themselves. We often see smooth,
white face supported by a sallow,
goose -pimply neck and the contrast
Is most unpleasant.
The bath is a good place to spot
light neck treatment. If you have a
small complexion brush you can use
this most effectively on the neck.
Scrub it with soapy lather and bring
the blood to the surface. or you can
alternate this scrubbiIg with tho
use of one of the circulation creams.
Apply it for the time directed (only
a few minutes) while you shave your
legs or roll your hair up on curriers'.
After you remove circulation cream
apply cold cream to your neck.
The elbows are neglected by the
average woman. This is most ap-
parent to every one but the woman
in question. Since she cannot see
her elbows she forgets that others
can and do.
It's good idea to apply cold
cream to the elbows for a short time
before the bath. Remove it and,
after soaking invthe tub, use a brush
on the elbows These bristles should
be longer than those of the COM
plexion brush. This will remove
most Of the dead skin. After you
are out of the bath apply cream
again to the elbows.
II you wish to use this sum-
mer's slowed-up activity for
building health, send q 3-cent
stamped, self addressed envelope
with your request for my leaflet,
Diets for Youth and Health"

way they have been treated by citi-
zens of the nearby communities.
They say in part:
DAY after day, when training
surge back and forth from city to
post. Night after night Rebel girls
travel the same roads to Army camp
dances. Week end after week end
Yankees are asked to visit South
ern homes, attend Southern
churches, take their Southern bridge
partners out of bad doubles.
The scope and sincerity Of hos
pitality accorded Northern soldiers
is difficult to believe in the light Of
supposedly lasting influences from
the Carpetbag era. Most soldiers
- were astonished by the kind
ness of their new neighbors below
the Mason-Dixon Line. And it was
kindness of just the right sort.
Not a little of the credit be-
longs to the young Southern women
who dance with evident perpetual
motion in armories, municipal audi
toriums, and Army service clubs,
The ones who laughingly say, I'll be
dogged If I know why I do it. AS
soon as I find a soldier I like, the
Army ups and moves him some
where else, and I never see him
again But hope springs eternal,
and apparently good humor and a
new tolerance do, too"
In another article, a corporal
writes, Sometimes I get pretty
homeSick when I start thinking
about the folks and the girl I left
behind, but it doesn't last very long,
for usually I stay SO busy that
I don't have time to think about
that. And then, there's always good
movies to be seen, most every week
the USO has a swell stage show,
and there are plenty of athletic
events that are free of charge.
Il have met soldiers who come
from wealthy homes and from the
other side of the tracks I have
talked to nationally famous ath-
letes, musicians who have played in
some of the finest dance bands in
the country, radio announcers, ditch
diggers, carpenters, artists of all
kinds; and for the first period of
my life I can say, as did Will Rogers,

One.Dish Meal

Corned stuffed meat loaf is some
thing new, appetizing and interest
ing to make. Pat out seasoned,
chopped, uncooked meat until about
u inch thick on waxed paper. Cover
with an inch layer of seasoned,
drained, canned corn. Roll up like
a jelly roll and quickly place in
creased loaf pan or baking dish.
Bake as for usual meat loaf. Serve
hot with savory, mushroom or to-
mato sauce. And the corn can pinch
hit for starchy vegetable served with
the meal. So here is a dish with a
double purpose-one of the meat
and potato" kind.

'uually, mOSC important newcomer,
lipstick in a Victory" case which
has not a trace of metal. This lip
stick container is made of glazed
cardboard, lightweight but very
sturdy and smart looking in its
patriotic colors. The whole thing is
moderately priced, priority and
a wonderful graduation or personal
shower" gift suggestion.
However, let's say Just a word
about the stocks still in the store
Remember that as long as these
items have been manufactured and
presented to the public, it's per-
fectly all right to buy them When
we talk of wood and cardboard and
plastics we're looking toward the
future, and If these first efforts are
true indications of what our beauty
aids will be like, then the American
woman has nothing to worry about
on that score!
From London by wireless comes
word that when summer came to
London in the middle of last month,
followed by heat wave which
means that it was moderately warm,
many girls and women overcame the
stocking shortage by wearing none" "
The report continues, "On that first
fine day it seemed that half the
women Of London had shed their
stockings. At least half these were
to be seen nibbling sandwiches,
sprawled on the grass of the court
yard OF the temple, on the steps
before the National Gallery near the
statue of George Washington, with
skirts about their knees, trying to
acquire the coppery color that
makes legs more attractive and less
bare looking"
Well, here in America the story
Is the same-but more so. Since
last year we've been experimenting
with stockingless state to con-
serve our fast disappearing silks
and nylons. However, since we're an
impatient Nation, the sunburn idea
has run second to the quick and ef-
fective idea of painting the legs
We gave you quite report on it
last week, and lately we've had word
that one Of our famous beauty ex-
perts has opened a "bare-leg bar"
in her New York salon. Not only
did the grand opening feature a
number of lovely young girls wear
ing the new leg make-ups, but it
also showed the necessity for proper
removal Of excess hair on the legs,
cooling masques for legs and feet,
foot tales and pedicure preparations
all products that are necessities
when we shed our protective three
threads.
This expert, incidentally, not only
has leg makeup in stick form and
bottled FORM" but her waterproof
leg makeup in the new sun tan
shade can be-and was-sprayed on
with a spray gun-producing lovely
pair of stockings in a few minutes
Might work with an atomjzer, too
although we haven't tried it. In
cidentally, they tell us that for a
sheer lustrous effect for evening
you can shine your leg makeup with
a chamois cloth!

Child Harmed by
To Sun Rays
WafchtuI Mother
VIII Be Careful
OF His Health
By Leffice Lee Street,

The bliss Of digging In the sand,
and dashing in whirl of JOY in and
out Of the foamy tips Of the break
ers cannot be overestimated in the
minds of most children. Sleepy,
sun-baked mothers lie under UNI
brellas and view their brown imps
scampering on the beach soaking up
sand, salt water and vitamin D and
they think complacently, This Is
the best thing I can possibly do for
my child"
True, it is one of the best, but 1t
depends upon how the beach life Is
managed.
The sun, so ready to help small
bones grow straight and strong can
do harm if given in too large or too
sudden doses. Exposure should be
gradual, and even after a child's
delicate skin is well tanned he
should not be allowed to play In
the sun bareheaded for too long a
time. Sunstroke can be a very
dangerous condition. There are COM
Portable straw hats that are quite
acceptable to small beachcombers,
and no argument about it! Tiny
girls look very fetching in old-fash-
ioned sun bonnets that are practical
as well as pretty because they do not
come off due to the streamers that
tie in becoming bows under little
round chins.
Crowded sections of beaches
should be avoided whenever possible
1t is erroneous to believe that the
sun, sea and wind make germs curl
up and die. Colds and more serious
infections are distributed on con-
gested beaches.
If there is even whisper about
infantile paralysis in the vicinity
children should be kept strictly
away from any crowded area, and
beaches are no exception.
1t is all very fine for the small fry
to beg for just one more dip in the
ocean, bay, lake or sound at the end
of the afternoon or when clouds scud
along in front of brisk wind. The
breeze that feels cool to dry skin
may be very chilly against little wet
bodies shivering inside of soggy
bathing suits. Then come the sum-
mer Sniff1eS!
The entire health-giving benefit
of beach play is lost if children are
allowed to become SO weary that
they cannot eat their suppers, so
nervous and overstimulated from
too long and too strenuous play that
they cannot sleep quietly at night.
A daily nap after lunch is splendid
idea for every child at the sea shore.
The beach is bad place for poor.
bald-headed little babies. They
squint and perspire and have a
wretched time. 1t is too noisy, too
windy, too bright, too hot and too
buggy" for babies. If there are
many people near, the infants bed
or carriage is likely to be overturned,
and he is certainly exposed to dis
ease.
The sensible mother sees to 1t that
vacation time is healthful period
for. her youngsters, regardless of
where she is. She does not permit
an exhausting orgy of play and she
watches for all troubles from cuts on
little bare toes to fatigue fretfulness
and signs of illness. If she succeeds
her children should greatly benefit
from their happy days of dancing
on the sand.

Wash Bathing Suits

Give last years bathing suits and
bathing trunks quick wash in cool
sudsy water before their first wear
ing. This removes the odor of the
moth repellant and the mustiness
which comes from being stored in
alright containers. Also, it pro-
vides assurance that the suit is
really clean before it touches ones
skin.

With Americans
Shrimp Dishes
Are Popular
Many More Ways
Of Treatment
In the South
r., .E|:fk M Rorbor
Bv Edith M. Barber

Have you ever noticed how many
people at q restaurant order
shrimp cocktail? 1t seems as If it
were becoming the great American
staple. Just as popular are shrimps
on the dunking tray, impaled on
toothpicks ready for dipping in a
savory sauce. We also use them with
. Creole sauce, in Newberg and in
salad.
Down in South Carolina, Ala
bama and Louisiana, from which
States our supplies come, there are
many more ways Of treating
shrimps. A famous breakfast dish is
q combination Of raw shrimp fried
In butter and served with cooked
hominy grits. Shrimp cakes are also
popular for breakfast. A famous
supper dish, known as pie, is really
a corn pudding to which whole raw
shrimps are added before baking.
In the South, at least on the coast,
fresh shrimps are naturally used.
At the height of the season, when
they are shipped in quantities, we
often use them in fresh form, al
though the quality of the canned
product of a good brand is really
excellent. I have noticed a great
improvement in the last few years.
For a quick meal the business
woman housekeeper will be inclined
to use shrimps in canned form,
which need just be reheated in
sauce or used as part Of some other
dish. It is not even necessary to
remove the black line" although
for the sake of appearance it is
often done.
When fresh shrimps are used
they are generally cooked in the
shells with a few herbs in boiling
salted water. They should be
cooked only until they turn pink.
They should then be drained and
chilled with cold water In order to
remove the shells easily.
SHRIMP CAKES.

one small corner in his own house
where he can count on similar con-
sideration.
His desk need not be of the most
precious wood or the most authentic
period design, but it must have a
large table surface, and two banks
OF capaciouS drawers are better than
one. This would be more luxurious
with the whole top covered with
plate glass which needs only to be
wiped of with a moist cloth to be
ready for action and does not re-
strict working space to the dimen-
sions of desk blotter.
With Office furniture at a premium
IN town. even an unpainted desk or
table may be made most attractive
with carefully painted surface and
a glass top.
A comfortable chair Of the living
room type with upholstered back
and seat and open arms is far more
comfortable than a straight desk
chair, and equally as efficient.
Bookcases make most attractive
wall decoration and with unpainted
wood sections available in every size
and shape it is possible to put to-
gether" a room that Is charming.
High bookcases at either side of a
door or window, with the next Sec
ton a foot or two lower and these
in turn flanked by the low two-shelf
model will make plenty of space for
his books. Plants or flowers may
be used on, top of the high cases and
on the lower ones the magazine col
lection may be placed. Though this
is ideal for a small room, it is just
as feasible in an alcove and the
clever use of screen at one side
of the opening gives sense of seclu-
sion which contributes to peace of
mind.
When you select an easy chair for
father, keep in mind his preferences
rather than the color scheme of the
house. In other words if your room
is done in delicate gray and yellow
and you literally fall in love" with
"ducky" little chair upholstered in
primrose yellow, smother your yearn-
ing and pick out a chair in deep,
rich green. 1t will go just as well
with the color scheme and he will
enjoy sitting in it. Most men avoid
too delicate colors and Satiny up
holstered surfaces. Probably they
feel clumsy and out of place in them
In their dark, rough-textured busi-
ness suits. In any case, watching
them come into living room will
give a clear understanding of their
likes and dislikes, as they will select
for their own the deepest chair in
the most practical of coverings.
Place beside your comfortable
chair a small table for smoking ac-
cessories, books and the newspaper.
Don't make the table too small lest
things get pushed onto the floor, and
use a lamp on stand rather than
a table lamp for comfortable read
ing light.
The good old-fashioned idea of
fathers" chair and foot stool, of
fathers" desk and books might be
brought out of the discard on
Fathers Day, 1912. At time when
it is not wise or patriotic to buy
unnecessary trif1es, plan to give him
a part of his own home for his very
own" and let him keep it. Let him
know every day in the year that his
work is important, his rest and
leisure considered by all, and that
the family will adopt hands off"
policy in fathers own private corner.
