De-Meta|ized Lamps
Lend Charm 10 Home
Pottery Boses Add
to Attraction

The new lamps for Christmas
giving this year have been de-
metalized and in the process,
the designers have given them
most attractive bases of pottery,
wood, and China, which makes
possible a greater variety OF
color treatments.
Shades are distinctive and
intriguing figure of the newer
lamps with varied designs on
parchment and cloth and in
heavier materials which some
times simulate leather.
Wooden based floor lamps are
available to match furniture fl
nishes in the home where your
gift is going. Light tones are en-
ployed for Modern. The polished
base in wood is credited with a
much softer and homer effect
than metal formerly used. The
lamps also are lighter in weight.
A three-way lighting floor
lamp is a necessity for reading
and bridge and a pair of good
reading lamps for the table are
needed also to provide suffici-
ent light for the family's eye
ming reading and sewing.
The LES. approved lamps are
desirable as reading lamps, but
it is not necessary to get this
type if your gift lamp is intend
ed to be used IN Railways or to
light corners.

Santa's calling the ROLAND
every wise Christmas shopper
will answer promptly! Early
shopping is Santa's order of the
day for better reasons than in
any past year; and the most joy
Gus giving will be that which
was planned for not to-
morrow but To-day!
This years Christmas money
must buy practical, quality
things - and that means taking
enough shopping time to per-
NIT really careful selection.
Cooperating with wartime
regulations" - whether they
be written or unwritten is
something every one considers a
personal duty now. Since that
includes carrying small Christ
mas packages home, allowance
may have to be made too for
additional time for one or more
extra bus or trolley trips!
And "Shop EARLY" takes on
added mail early" significance
this Yuletide.
AS for the boys in service -
not an overseas gift should be
on American soil this late, for
November 1st was the last date
for shipping to them in time for
Christmas delivery. And twice

allowed for gifts to men in serv-
ice still within our shores.
Then too, because transporta-
ton curtailments are going to
mean that fewer folks will
travel, the mails will have TO be
loaded with their gifts-which
they'd ordinarily receive in per-
son.
Among the advantages to be
gained by shopping early is the
fact that there are still many
gift items which once gone
won't be duplicated. Since
they're available in only limited
numbers selections must be
made quickly if one is to be able
10 give at least some precious
mo more TO be had gifts.
No one should need more in
centive for early shopping! Yet
also to be considered are the
folks who keep Christmas mer-
chandise moving from ware
house to store to shoppers
arms; the postal workers who
will deliver gifts at their final
destination. Their load is light
ened when Christmas shopping
is staggered over a longer pc
riod of time.
It's more fun to shop carly
and more fun after. LeiSurely
gift wrapping will permit more
attractive, more secure pack
ages: and there'll be plenty OF
time for the ireland a party
too.
Use this Christmas Gift guide
as an index of where to get just
the right thing at just the right
price for every one on every
one else's gift list! 1t tells, in
thrilling stories, beautiful pic
lures and Informative ads what
TO get where, and what to pay
and it also tells of gifts one need
only write away or phone for:
because mail and phone shop
ping saves precious auto tires,
gasoline and time!
It's good to know that gifts
always purchased with Time
Payment facilities can still be
bought that way - with only
slight adjustment in line with
wartime requirements.
From every angle it looks as
though America is going to see
its dearest tradition carried on
in the very spirit we're fight
ing to make live forever.
It's going to be wonderful
Christmas-most wonderful for
those who plan their shopping
early - do their shopping early
- and wrap and mail in ample
time to make this the kind of
Christmas they always want
their loved ones to enjoy.

One of the new construction
sets contains miniatures of the

there have been sets with which
children could build replicas of

surely find most of the toys you

Nom e mt

In places where there is an elec-
trio fan I do think that it should
be enjoyed by all. But, usually, it
isn't. Its enjoyed by one.
He's the lad who stands all spread
out, with his hands in his pockets
and hts elbows covering as much
territory as possible, right In front
Of the fan. He completely blocks
all the breeze from every one else
in the room. Then he starts a dis
cussion on the advantages of mod
ern civilization and the wonder Of
such inventions as the electric fan.
You could crown him. And per-
haps you should.
I believe in sharing breezes on
those days when breezes are at
premium.
Perhaps the best way to make
this lad move is to slip behind him
and shut the fan off or blow
a fuse, If you know how. He'd
soon tire of his position then. And
once you got him seated in some
other part of the room you could
start the fan up again, with dirty
look In his direction. He might

Look Of Meaning
Has an Effect
Upon Child
Eyes Mast Reveal
Authority If You
Wanf Respect
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

When you ask request Of your
child. how is the look In your eyer
The eyes may be romantically re-
ferred to as the windows of the soul,
but they also have definite power
to influence.
The sparkling, laughing eyes Of
a little child, for example, can in
fectiously spread good humor among
others If they choose to look. The
friendly, welcoming eyes of a host
ess when her guests arrive set the
tune of tempo for her party, the
interested and sympathetic express
sion in the eyes of good listener
draws out the thoughts and words Of
the one talking, and cold, antag-
onistic stare can drive us away
shivering. BY the same token the
unwavering glance Of parent, the
expression Of authority in the eyes
can cause child to obey promptly.
Somehow the eyes show that num-
nie or daddy mean what they say.
Peppered through my mail there
are always few letters from moth
ers who complain that their chill
dren obey their fathers but not their
mothers. Sometimes these women
write petulantly and ask Grossly why
their children will not mind.
True authority is revealed by q
quiet, dignified mien and attitude
that does have to try to impress
others and does not stoop to argue
or bicker.
Parental authority Is lost and dis
obedience inevitably results If moth
ers nag, II they are inconsistent,
If they are unfair in melting out
punishments and speak before they
think, II they demand perfection or
II they are too lenient and easy
going.
A father, do not forget, Is away
from home all day. He appears as
. wonderfully big, important per-
son in the eyes Of his little children,
q being vested with q certain amount
of glamour and mystery.
He Is not the one who makes them
do all the chores, like brushing teeth
| and hair and washing behind ears,
jobs that seem like unmitigated
grown-up foolishness to small peo-
pie. a
In order to gain obedience from
q child q mother must be fair and
patient but at the same time very
firm, and she must plainly show that
she will tolerate nothing but courte-
Isy. BY no strident, impatient OF
querulous tone of voice must she
indicate that she expects anything
else, and her eye must be as steady
as her voice and her attitude.
Recently I witnessed scene that
illustrates my point. Seven-year-old
Roy refused to obey. His mother
lifted his little round chin In her
palm and stared into his eyes very
seriously without saying a word.
The child could not outstare his
mother. and, feeling himself trapped
in q difncult situation, he resorted
to roars Of rage. Still without speak
ing, his mother led him upstairs,
| placed him in chair in the middle
OF his room, and before leaving him
alone she said: when you are ready
to do as ask you you may come
downstairs"
It was not long before q shame
faced little boy was on his way to
do his mothers bidding. II she had
scolded him or stopped to the In
dignity Of tussle with him he would
have won this little bout of wills
She did not, and she was the win
ner, for children, like all Of US
recognize and respect the look OF
authority.

become confused by the NUMBER OF
shades. you can do some fairly Won
derful tricks in your wardrobe. You
must plan, and carefully, but it's
perfectly possible to have carefully
co-ordinated costumes using a num-
ber of tones to lend spice and dash
to your life.
Black, naturally enough, still dom
mates the fashion scene, and, If
we're good guesser, it will be many
a day before you can convince the
average woman that her good
little black dress" is not the most
practical part of her wardrobe. How
ever, the same women who have
lived in black" in other years are
likely to look at colorful clothes
with new interest, finding them
cheerful to wear and fashion right
according to the best dressed leaders
in the world OF style.
This year you can choose your
most f1attering color and even build
wardrobe around it. One excel
lent example Is gray. If this is par
ticularly becoming. by all means
wear it and spike it with bright
colors like cerise, violet, plum or
dark green in accessories. Navy blue
is being discussed for fall-oh, happy
day-and it, too, does well when
combined with bright spots of color
such as brilliant green or flaming
red. Brown is expected to be one
of the most popular tones and ex-
perts will tell you wisely that in g.
suit year" the vogue for brown In
all tones is unusually important.
Those pastels we mentioned ear
lier are also destined to be among
the most outstanding. Nevertheless,
and at the risk of being a !"wet
blanket" we must mention that
cleaning problems are more acute
this year than ever, so think care
fully before you 60 in for the beige,

toward very light dresses to be worn
under dark coats, and it's also true
that the college girls are swapping
up these styles, but If you're a lady
who must watch her budget and
who finds 1t inconvenient to wait
more than a week for a dress to
return from the cleaners, then you'd
better think twice. For you, per-
haps, is the idea Of using perish
able" colors in accessories and In
washable parts of your wardrobe.
Rating special mention, of course.
is the interest in plum shades and
dark green. You'll find them In all
accessories as we'll as in dresses and
suits of fabrics ranging from sheer
woods and rayon crepes to velveteens
and corduroys. AS used in perky
hats and shoes they will delight you,
but here again go easy. Plan, If
you please, and be careful about
combining "clashing" shades Of the
same color or using two hostile col
ors together. You'll want to look
gay and pretty this year, but you'll
also want to look like something
other than surrealist's dream. So
don't be swept off your feet by the
vogue for color. Welcome 1t, by
all means, for it's a marvellous gift
to. your budgeted wardrobe, but
don't go off the deep end to your
ultimate sorrow.

Foundation Cream Hint

When buying foundation cream,
says Ginny Simms, keep three
things in mind Choose color in
tune with the natural tint OF your
skin. You can darken your COM
plexion bit, make it warmer and
more colorful, but don't try to make
a milk-white skin look like the COM
plexion of Polynesian princess.
Second, choose the foundation right
for your type skin, keeping in mind
relative oiliness, dryness. etc. Last,
says Ginny, be sure to apply the
foundation smoothly, for one of the
purposes of such a cream is to make
the skin look even, the color smooth.
So apply it with care. Don't rush.

Why Silver Sets
Are Usually
Put Away
They Become Dull
And Tarnished If
Exposed to Air :.
Bv Emily Post

Every so often-ard again today
I am asked why silver tea sets, bowls
and candlesticks are being put away.
The writer Of today's letter further
asks: why must we strip our din
ing rooms to the point OF looking
barnlike just to be fashionable? My
daughter insists that our lovely old
silver tea set and candlesticks be
taken off the sideboard and put
away, and since we entertain very
little, this means they will seldom
be seen or enjoyed by any one"
The answer to this has nothing
to do with fashion-except that the
purses Of the once fashionable have
grown very nat, and the stAffs Of
servants necessary to keep great
quantities Of silver shining are al
most unknown. The reason, then,
why silver is no longer put in view
is because 1t gets tarnished too
easily II exposed to the air. On the
other hand, put away IN camphor
paper and flannel bags 1t can be
kept brilliant with comparatively
little effort.
I might add that it is still possible
to keep candlesticks and candelabra
with minimum care by having them
lacquered by q silversmith. Such
pieces will have to be handled Is
little as possible except with dry
cloth. 1t would not help with tea
set. because the lacquer cannot
Withstand washing.

lem which may be too special to be

going to send out announcements
My husband and I would like to
know which date should be used on
the announcements, and which
should we ourselves consider our
