Manners
of the
Moment

A girl who is helping her mother
serve tea has an ordeal to face, and
she might as well recognize it from
the start. She is going to acquire a
frozen smile during the course of the
afternoon. or else she is going TO
disgrace her mother. And she'd bet
ter adjust to the frozen smile.
She is going to hear, at least 80
times during the course of the tea
something like this: 80 you are
Anna's little girl. MY. how you've
grown. And how are you doing in
your studies this year,"
It's too bad that her mothers
friends can't learn that its no fun
to hear remarks like that all after
noon. It's too bad that they can't
treat a girl as though she were a
charming addition to the party, and
an adult, and let it go at that. Just
plain Thank you" for the sand
wich would be better than all that
condescending talk. But mothers S
friends don't seem to learn.
Consequently, girl must learn to
adjust The minute the doorbell
rings the first time for the tea, she
can slap on the frozen smile and
keep it there. All she has to do dur
ing the rest of the event is to keep
the smile on and say, Yes" or No
or Very nicely, thank you" and
she'll get by. She may not be a hit.
But she'll do. JEAN.

forever. And in their despair they
grasped at the only ray of happiness

Defend Baby

Spotlessly Clean

By Lehice Lee Street,

MY goodness" smiled an admiring
grandmother. with just the least
patronizing shade to her tone and
look, you are certainly a fussy
mother" She dropped a light kiss
on the back of her little grandson S
head where the peachy fuzz, proudly
referred to as his hair, had worn
away. He responded by Growing and
wriggling as he lay on his tummy
on the bathinette top. She con-
tinued, 81 didn't use such elaborate
methods with you; look at you now,
with a gauze mask over your face
just because you have sniffle.
Even II ! do say so, you grew up
to be a strong, fine-looking girl"
The daughter was solemn. That
may all be true, mother" she an
swered, but when I was an infant
many babies did not survive their
frst year who would have lived had
they been given the protection the
modern baby receives"
What good sense this young
mother showed! 1t is foolish and
ignorant to argue that the world
is populated by persons who were
brought up in a haphaZard way
because facts and figures show that
infant mortality has markedly de-
creased since parents have been
taught how to take care of their
babies.
To start with. mother should
always wash her hands before she
touches or lifts her infant, and
her clothes should be clean.
Perfectly fresh, clean milk can
be contaminated If it is put into
unsterilized bottles, If unsterilized
nipples and caps are used. if the
utensils for preparing the formula
are unclean or If the mother
hands are dirty.
believe that a mother should mix
her baby's formula herself unless
she has a we'll trained, absolutely
reliable nurse or maid whom she
can truly trust. The Importance of
daily and sufficient. sterilization of
all utensils used for a baby's formula
and feeding cannot be too strongly
emphasized. Soap and water are
not enough. Each article used should
be soaped, rinsed, then boiled for
five minutes.
Science has proved the disastrous
effects certain types of bacteria have
when they gain entrance into the
body. so keep up your defenses
against these dangerous invaders by
never relaxing your efforts to keep
your baby, his clothes, his room,
his food utensils and everything
around him fresh, sweet and spar
klingly clean.

to do and dare to defend his coun-
try.
And the girl pays an equally high
price for her brief honeymoon. For,
hard as the parting might have been
from her sweetheart. it is nothing
to the anguish Of being parted from
her bridegroom. II she had only
had the courage and the self-con-
troll and the good. hard COM
mon sense to wait for her hap
piness until the time for her to take
it rightly, she would have had the
interest Of her work and a pay en-
velope that enabled her to be fnan-
cially independent and to help her
family, instead Of being a burden
upon it. And she would have been
able to have looked forward to the
coming of her first child with JOY
and pride, instead of bleak despair
and having her heart turn sick with
fear that it may be her sad fate to
be left a widow with a fatherless
child to support.
So to the boys and girls who are
storming the marriage license bu-
reaus just now, I commend the
prayerful and careful reading of this
young soldiers story. Don't marry
just because going away has made
you sentimental and some home
town girl suddenly seems more at
tractive than she ever did before
Don't marry a boy because he
looks good in uniform, nor because
you are afraid II you don't grab
husband now when men are plen-
tiful you may be left an old maid.
Don't marry with the idea that a
wedding ring is a charm that will
keep a boy faithful to you.
OF all times in the world. war
time Is the one in which people
should enter into marriage most
soberly and with the greatest con-
sideration of the responsibility it
entails, for war changes not only the
soldier at the front, but the girl he
left behind him. And when they
meet again, after years of separa-
ton and the experiences they have
been through. they often find that
they have drifted apart and have
nothing in common, not even love.
Keep yourself free for the dura-
ton, so when Johnny come march
ing home if Sally doesn't look good
to him. Annabelle will, and If Jane
has lost her tickle boy friend. she
can be glad it wasn't faithless
husband.
All the casualties of war do not
take place on the battlefield. The
worst of them occur at the altar.

dents that have happened during
the year-the bottle of ink that was
spilled on the library rug, the mer-
churochrome on the playroom bed
covers, the furniture polish on the
satin upholstery on the Sheraton
sofa, are all special problems that re-
quire individual attention.
Securing a carpet that entirely
covers a floor is not recommended
because the carpet is almost sure to
shrink to such an extent that 1T
cannot be used in the same way.
Rugs will also shrink, but as they are
not required to fit and fill certain
space this Is not such serious mat
ter. Shrinkage Is serious where .
rug is laid with sockets and pins,
however, for the old holes in the
floor are bound to show to a disad-
vantage. A very soiled dining room
carpet may be cleaned safely and
with a minimum of shrinkage by the
warm naphtha vacuum process. De-
pending on the quality and condition
of your carpets, reputable cleaners
will give you a written guarantee
that they will not shrink them. To
try any home treatments or scour-
ings on a good wall-to-wan carpet
is almost sure to be costly.
On abe other hand, living room
or bedroom rug which Is not seri-
ously soiled and does not get hard
wear shouldn't be shampooed just
because you feel that the house is
not clean unless soap and water
has been used throughout it. A
thorough cleaning on both sides with
a vacuum cleaner or possibly pro-
fessional dust cleaning where the rug
goes over rollers and is beaten by
leather straps to remove loose dirt
and dust Is all that is necessary and
will keep the new look" on your rug
Just that much longer.
Stains of all kinds need profess
sional attention, and laboratories are
set up for the purpose of analyzing
and removing them without harming
the fabric. Ink stains may be ro-
moved, usually. II the kind Of ink is
identified. Animal stains may not
be completely removed but may be
given a treatment that will almost
obliterate them. Paint, grease and
other substances will come out and
the treatment is much more success
full if you can identify the cause Of
the spot and have not tried half
dozen home remedies" on 1t first.
Watch out for moths and other
vermin which flourish in dark and
unused corners. The rug under the
sofa that Is seldom moved and the
upholstered chair which is out Of
the usual conversation group and
does not have the cushions removed
often are safe harbors for all de-
structive "crawlers" and "creepers"
which do irreparable damage.
Clean wisely and intelligently first
and store valuable rugs and hang
ings to save the damage and wear
that hot, damp days inflict. Protect
with sprays, camphor and slip COW
ers the surfaces and the dark cor
ners where textiles are in use. EN-
ploy the proper method for each in
dividual type of material and do it
all with light touch, for heavy
handed cleaning methods destroy
more than they help and valuable
possessions often are worn out more
quickly by hard and too-frequent
scrubbing than by neglect.

Be Feminine
Though in
Uniform
Keep the Qualities
Which Spur Men
Toward Goals
By Patricia Lindsay

Today I want to speak mostly
about manners. 1t seems as If a
change of feminine manners has
been noticeable, and. unfortunately
the change is not very flattering.
Many of us will wear uniforms of
one style or another during the
emergency but that does not mean
we have to become masculine" in
our language or our approach to
duties. Our fort in life df we
desire the love of men, devotion of
children and privileges of the weak
er SEX is to remain feminine and
prettily so.
You can wear low heel shoes, q
service cap, an insignia, and tote
regulation carry-all with the same
lovely poise and grace that you
radiate in the ballroom. You can
answer questions and converse in
a well modulated voice and use
pleasing grammar free OF crude
slang. You can enter a public
place or conveyance with the same
ladylike modesty that you would
use If you were dressed in your
Sunday best.
Really, girls, don't get the mas
culine world down on us by being
little iron women lacking all charmi
There is danger you know of be-
coming too self confident. too in
dependent, too self-efficient. too
brassy. The men might begin to
wonder why we don't shoulder ma
chine guns and fight on the front
line. The '1ittle women" they take
pride in defending and supporting,
and loving, will become amazons in
their eyes and then we will regret
it. We will be expected to toll in
the factories, bear children with
out a whimper, be housewives and
soldiers-long after the war is over.
And what woman wants that situ-
alton to arise?
I'm not hundred per cent FEM
mist, you know. I work, I have
a career, I run a home, I do war
work, too. But I'm feminine
enough to yearn for a little PAM
pering now and then. to like 1t
when men doff their hats in ele-
vators when I'm present, to have
very heavy parcel carried for me
and to be f1attered once in a while.
And you do, too! We can be ca
pable and helpful, but we can still
hold fast to our femininity be-
cause we know it's needed today
just as much as Is our determina-
ton to help adjust the worlds
chaos!

Makeup. and the things 1t can
do for a woman, have become mod
ern miracles. Rouge no longer is
slapped on harum- -scarum-and 1t
did scar'um-nor does mascara hang
in heavy beads from our upper
binders.
Today, before the smart woman
applies makeup, she studies skin
tone, the shape OF her face, eyes
and mouth, and the way her eyes
are set in her head. She even takes
her personality into consideration.
Eye makeup Is important to a
woman's beauty and it can take
years from her age and add pounds
to her attractiveness. If the whites
of the eyes are clear and the sur
rounding tissues have been cared for,
you can have lovely looking eyes at
any age.
Many women pass up eye makeup
because they feel that it is too spec
tacular for them or they are too old
for it. They have been frightened
away from It's use by the beaded,
artificial effect I mentioned.
This Is absolutely unnecessary!
The day has passed when you need
dread smudges on the upper lid or
fear to shed an honest tear at a
movie. A good brand Of mascara
will stay put until you forcefully
remove 1t with water and cream.
Before you put on your mascara
brush the lashes with small brush
to be certain that they are well sep
arated. Then dampen the brush and
apply makeup. Remember these
two things. Don't use too much wa
ter. Mascara doesn't go on so nat
urally when you do. Also, be sure
that the brush Is entirely clean each
time you use 1t. If mascara is caked
on the ends Of your brush the ap-
plication will not be successful.
If you wish to have my leaf1et
which tells you how to avoid or
decrease puffs and lines around
the eyes, send Scent stamped,

request for 1t to Josephine Low

There's a world Of food value in

larger figure it features young ideas
such as the shoulder-squaring
yoke at the top, the slimming panel

the nipped-in effect at the waist is
easily achieved and the fit of the
frock guaranteed by the side sashes
which tie in back.
This is frock to make you appear
the well-dressed household execu-

making it, too-our pattern simpli-
fies every step of the cutting, sewing
and finishing. No great expense is
necessary, as the frock is designed
