Preserve House Linens

Keeping the linen closet well
stocked is the modern housewives
pride just as it was her grand
mothers. And if shortages are in
the offing, taking care Of what's
on nand is most important. Proper
laundering probably ranks first.
Clothes should not become too
soiled. so as to necessitate rigorous
rubbing. harsh soaps or strong
bleaches. Tears and rips are
safest mended before laundering.
Table linens and bed linens too
should not be folded in the same
manner each time they are
pressed. Alternate folding into
thirds one time, quarters the next.
Press very lightly along folds 50
that the cresses will not become
sharp and the fabric weakened.

Pointers Given on
Laundering Nylons

Laundering experts offer these
points on washing nylon mate
rials: For ordinary soil use luke
warm water and a mild suds. put
ting the fabric through two suds
baths and at least three rinsings.
Rinsings should be lukewarm, too.
And when pressing. be sure that
the iron is not too hot; a too-hot
iron may cause the fiber to melt
or at least discolor. Nylon is a
mona absorbent material and is said
to be particularly easy to wash,
since much of the soil is held on
the surface and is washed off dur
ing the laundering process, rather
than washed out.

Another ideal site for summer
concerts has been added to those
already known in the choice of
Dumbarton Oaks, which was made
available through the courtesy Of
Library and Collection. Centered
around q massive oak tree, the seats
spread out fanshaped before a small
shell that has the appearance OF a
porch with vines trailing at the
sides. All about lies the quiet
garden with its beautiful trees, the
silence broken occasionally by the
rhythmic croaking of a frog, and
the darkness lighted by the fash
Of fire-fiies.
In this secluded spot, the music
Of a small ensemble has perfect
environment and the absence Of
ampliflers rather added than de-
tracted to the enjoyment. The
compactness of the whole makes
the latter unnecessary, except when
the program Is announced from the
stage. The voices could be heard
but family and as there is not
sufficient light to read, it was
difficult to follow the numbers
played. Some compromise might
be arranged
Last nights selections included
Mozart's Quintet Op. 108" for
clarinet and strings, "Notturno"
from Borodin's String Quartet
No. q" Jacobs Quartet on Indian
Themes and Ravel's Introduction
and Allegro" for harp, string, flute
and clarinet.
AS yet, the quartet has not
reached a perfection in the balance
of its tonal quality that will lend
itself to varied styles of music. Mr..
Zetlin's tone is sweet and poetic,
but lacks virility and, while it is
eminently fitting for the delicacy of
Mozart, it is wanting in character
in other works. In matters of nu-
ance and style, the Mozart was the
finest performance of the evening,
with Mr.. CARROTS artistry domi-
mating the reading. Borodin's lovely
"Notturno," which gives each in
strument a voice in the melody. was
too rapid in tempo and less suave
in delivery.

1925, the year it was written. The
music has all the vital character
istics Of rhythm and mournful mel
ody OF the Indian enlarged in its
scope through his skillful harmoni-
zation. II some of its simplicity and
naturalness is lost, the composer has
shown how well its themes and
color lend themselves as a founda-
ton for an art form. The work Is
in three movements, the second
having an Indian love theme and
the final collection Of dance form
used individually without any at
tempt at cohesion.
The brilliant performance Of the
Ravel number by Sylvia Meyer
closed the program. The freedom
and surety of her presentation and
her mastery command OF the harp's
resources provided the climax Of
the evening in which she was as
sisted by the string quartet, Mr..
Terry and Mr.. Garrett. The recep-
ton accorded the artists was en-
thusiastic throughout.

into the spirit of unearthing red
heads, o. P. A., o. E. NJ, Navy,

virtually all the others. Red heads,
suddenly the fairest game on the
Government payroll, turned out to
be scarcer than even the anthro-
poiogists probably thought. At any
rate. there were not enough to make
up the $50.
BY that time, however, the prob
lem was too challenging. 1t couldn't t
be dropped. Phones began ringing
in the Offices Of department store
personnel chiefs, of even the local
merchant princes themselves.
I'VE must have red heads" they
were told. I'VE must have them
delivered tonight at 10:45 at the
doors of the Palace theater."
The stores accepted the challenge.
Only one said no. but reluctantly,
on the ground that it was afraid of
the publicity Another, however,
found seven, still another got even
more.
At 10:45, the girls, the soldiers
and the photographers were all as
sembled in the lobby Of the theater,
beautifully oblivious Of the problem
they had been all day.
They were so oblivious, in fact,
that it passed entirely unnoticed
that a few were not redheads-just
some brave, unsettled blonds and
who went along because
you can't get $50 redheads on that
short notice. No matter how des-

Will Vic oNOAy
behind the story of the party, it
began in the mind OF press agent,
Rita Hayworths. He thought it
would be fine to have a soldier
redhead party, the logic of 1T being
found in the circumstance that
Miss Hayworth's hair is that color.
The idea first was broached to
Corpl. Joseph Neatrour, Headquar-
ters Company at Fort Belvoir. The
movie people nearly always think OF
him first at a time like that. 1t
is very smart of them. for, former
press agent himself, Corpl. Neatrour
knows how to- translate dreams OF
$50 redheads into actuality. AT
least if he does not, no one does.
The first snag encountered had
nothing to do with girls OF any
hair color. Tires and gas being
the problems they are, 1t seemed
unfeasibly to the proper officials to
send $50 Fort Belvoir soldiers this
far for that purpose. Arrange
ments were made to transfer the
invitation to Boiling Field which
Is a lot closer as tires and gas go.
That was fairly simple, the Air
Corps being as vulnerable as the
engineers to redheads. Other heads,
too, probably although that has
nothing to do with this item.
Boiling Field said yes, of course,
1t would, and that left Corpl. Nea-
trour with the problem OF $50 red
heads still to be solved.
1t is precisely the sort of thing
that a man of sound sense takes up
with Mrs. Eva o. Steiner, the gray
haired (making her ineligible), kind
ly woman who heads the Woman
Battalion, Council of Defense Recre-
alton Services. Getting dates for
parties for the armed forces is her
official duty and she has big card
index. very official, for that sort
of thing.
The trouble with this request was
that it was too specific. Mrs. Steim-
er's girls are indexed primarily as
to dancing ability and personality,
neither of which are an index as
to color of hair. 1t remained for
Miss Hayworths press agent, ex-
cusably enough, to indicate the pres
ent listing was inadequate.
Mrs. Steiner, instead OF being
annoyed which she never Is, was
pioued. One hundred and fifty red
heads obviously would be quite a
problem, merely from the stand
point of collection, but it repre-
sented the kind of problem she likes.
On Tuesday afternoon, she had
spoken at the Council of Social
Agencies meeting, session attended
by representatives of the various
war agencies who have employe
counselors. 1t is the job of these
counselors to handle the recreation
problem for their workers. That
Mrs. Steiner suddenly remembered
next day would put them in a fine
position to unearth red-heads in
their departments.
That was about 10 am. and at
10 seconds after 10, she was on the
phone asking Mrs. Sadie Mckee
of the Council of Social Agencies
what could be done. Mrs. Mckee
