We are taught here that only

 External Feminine Attitude

will approve of them If they become really Independent human beings. THEY STILL
 PLAY HELPLESS
 They are all set, before they ever gain their independence, to hide 1t in their personal relationship with men. They are convinced women have to pretend helpleSsness in order to get along with men.
 It is a pity today's young women aren't willing to break with that old idea, and strike out for finer, more honest relation between the sexes.
 If women prove themselves cap- able of doing the work that has in the past been labeled mems work" why can't they take full credit for their ability and their independence?
 They could if they weren't too afraid of mems opinion to take 6 chance.
 For young men today can't help but see for themselves that in time of crisis, it is pretty handy to have capable, independent women pitching in and helping to do what ever has to be done. They can't help but admire the girls who have discarded all pretense of helplss- ness, and are doing difficult jobs.

Household Hints
RemOdeling And Patching
 Top England'S Fashion News
NV RosETTE nARCRoVE NEA Service Stan Writer

London, Dec, ( - A lot Of hidden talent Is expected to be brought to light by Englands new "Make-do and Mend" campaign, Instead ot treating restrictions on clothing and other essentials as mere vexRacns with which she has to cope, the British housewife should flnd satiS- factlon in thrift for her own sake and for the national war eifort.
 In the easy~going pre~war days, England was Q land of shop. .goers as well as shopkeeperS, Household economy and thrift were practiced in every other European country, but here cheap mass production had killed nearly oil incentive to home aressmakine or even bothering to patch and mend.
 But present conditions have placed entirely different emphasis on thrift. In fact, for most English women, smartnesS now can DO achieved only through the exercise of this virtue plus a lot of ingenuity,
 A recent "Make-do and Mend" exc hibltion In London showed how something could be evolved out of even the oldest and apparently un. usable garment. Examples ranged from grandfathers 40-lear-old even. ing suit or topcoat to fathers shrunken, once-white flannel trou. sers,
 Qrandfather's "tails" which, by the way, were made of the most supple black broadcloth, fashioned a smart two.piece dress, The black satin lining produced a long .sleeved blouse and so did the black and white striped silk inter- lining, for this is how mems even. ing clothes were built 70 years ago,
 The demonstration also showed practical examples of the possi- bilitieS for making childrens clothes from the grown-ups' cast offs, However, old or moth-eaten, knitted wool suits, cardigans, dresses and sweaters can be ray. eled and remade into all sorts of things, for a cosy, long-sleeved new top for a l0.year.old's out-erown wool nightgown to "crawlers" for babies and sweater sets for every age. This is one answer to the prob- lem of clothes rationing for rapidly growing children.
 Everybody now realizes that pre-war all-wool clothes are more precious than a good many of our other more priaed, peacetime pos- sessions. This applies also to silk and cottons. Mans discarded shirts make charming blouses for mother or tub frocks for daughter, according to her age. Even much- worn silk dress can be utilized as an inner lining for extra warmth. Many women now are exercising their wits to find the best ways of using worn- out silk stockings which litter bur- eau drawers.
 How to make use of those old- fashioned shoulder high kid gloves which salvage drives have unearthed from attic trunks was

FISH LIVER OIL AND vITAMIN
 PILLS

FILLS
 Too many histories of the mean ingless sort, say something like this: ". and in addition for the
 past three years have been
 taking VitaEnin Pills and halibut
 liver oil or cod liver oil ."
 These correspondents seem to think that 1t doesn't matter just what vitamins or how much one takes as long as one takes some "vitamin pills" or some fish liver oil.
 At present we know that insuf ficient intake of vitamin c (scorbic acid) is the cause of seurvy; that insufficient intake of Ntamin D Is the cause of rickets; that insufa- cient intake of vitamin Bi tthia- min) is the cause of beri-beri mul- tiple neuritis; that insufficient intake of niacin 0formerly called nicotinic acid) is the cause of pel- lagra: that insufficient intake of vitamin B2 Cribofiavin). formerly called vitamin c, is e common cause of sore mouth, sore tongue, sore eyes; that insufficient intake of vitamin A is common cause of night blindness, dry eyes, dry rough skin: and that an insufficient in- take of pantothenic acid tone Of the several components of nat ural vitamin B-complex) is cause of premature graying of the hair.
 It is useless and wasteful to take, say, the anti-gray hair vitamin, if your trouble is rough skin, dry eyes and difficulty in seeing in dim light. Likewise it Is foolish to take fish liver oil or any preparation Of yitamin D or D and A if the trou- ble is maceration and cracking about the corners of the mouth and sore eyes feeling like "shand in the eyes"
 Probably nine-tenths of the mil- lions of dollars the public spends for vitamin preparations is utterly wasted because so many wiseacres assume that "vitamin pills" regard- less of their content are a kind of cure-all.
 When people say they are using fish liver oil and some vitamin pills containing vitamin A and Vitamin D I am reminded of an intern of

 A. Write the invitations on old scrap of paper; you may even mis- spell some of the words. Make the room look as poor and "tacky" as possible with clashing colors, old furniture, etc, Serve the retreSh- ments on an oilcloth-covered table with candles stuck in old bottles for light. Use old, odd dishes, and calico napkins. Instruct the guests to come in old and mondescript clothing. Any sort of games may be played.
