SUCH way that they Will blend
with the light finish. Match the
blond mahogany as closely as pos
sible You will probably find that
it takes light buff color. Give the
furniture two coats of this and,
when it has dried thoroughly. wipe
over the surface with a cloth dipped
in thin solution of raw umber
and turpentine. This will blend the
surface and dull the shine of the
enamel so that it corresponds to
the surface of your blond furniture.
Dear Miss NowenSI have three
good paint brushes that have been
used for enamel. They are 3, and
6 inches and I paid a good price
for them, but a careless workman
let the paint dry in them and now
they are stiff. I am going to need
them in a few weeks for some out
side work and wondered if there is
any way to clean them and again
make them usable What should
be done with them to keep them
in good condition? I understand
good brushes are scarce, and since
they are expensive I would like to
keep mine for the next few years.
ID. B.
AnsWer-You may purchase a
small package of paint brush cleaner
at your paint store. There are
several brands, but the action of
each Of them is about the same.
Follow the directions on the box
which, briefly, are to soak the
brushes in solution of warm water
and this powder. This loOsens the
stiff paint. Then wash them in
soap and water. It would be worth
while for you to invest in a special
holder to preserve your brushes,
and there is a can made for this
purpose Or, you may get a holder
to fit on the top of any can which
will suspend the brushes in an up
right position, keep them in shape
and keep the bristles oiled If you
wish If you prefer to keep them
dry, clean them thoroughly, wrap
them in waxed paper after the
bristles are completely cleared of

Save yourself a plumbing bill by
cleaning the drain with hard rub

connected with it, for you simply
attach one end to the faucet and the
other end to the drain, turn on the
warm water and away goes the
stoppage. -.

Plastic table mats are popular and

don't have to be washed; simply
wipe them of with a damp cloth.
Disposable busters made of soft

Canned heat is an excellent item
to add to your shelter room supplies.
Simply remove the cover Of the can,

until it Is extinguished by slipping
the cover back into place. One must
not blow it out, and the can must
be placed on something that will
not catch fire from the intense
heat. Anything metal or marble will
do, but a well-knoWn manufacturer
has designed several types of small
stoves that are practical for this
purpose. These have a low shelf on
which the canned heat is placed

Answer - Well. daughters, you
know men have no ofncial schedule
for judging girls, as they have for
judging any other species Of live
stock Every individual man has his
own preferences about what he
wants a girl to be and wear and
look like, but have submitted your
questions to group Of college lads
who are in your age class and the
concensus seemed to be that their
ideal is very much like their mothers,
with certain modern alterations that
brought her up to date, 20 to speak.
What 1 mean is that almost
without exception they were strong
for girls who looked feminine and
who wore frills and furbelows in
stead Of shorts or slacks. Only one
boy thought that girl looked cute
when she was dressed up like q
boy. The others thought she looked
like their little brothers and lost all
of her allure. That this masculine
opinion of a girl getting herself up
in masculine attire is generally
borne out by the fact that the boys
in camps have importuned the girls
who come to entertain them to
please put on their prettiest frocks.
They are tired Of looking at khaki
uniforms.
AS to hair-dos, the boys had no
special preferences, but they liked
hats, which they thought made .

were not strong for bandannas,

Costume Jewey Supply Still Plentiful Despite Expected Shortages
Start Early
To Teach
Thrift
Young Child Must
Be Encouraged
Toward Habit
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

By Leftice Lee Street,
Help and encourage your children
to buy Defense stamps!
While 1t Is ridiculous for us to
expect children to understand the
value Of q dollar or to realize that
every dollar in this world has meant
the toll Of brains or hands, we may
still start the first training toward
the habit of thrift at an early age.
Saving money can and should be a
habit, one that is honestly included
in the weekly or monthly expenses
of living as matter of -factly as
the rent or grocery bills are paid.
Thrift training is but one more
detail mother and father want to
keep on their minds where their
children are concerned. 1t some
times seems as though such minute
duties accumulate into q veritable
mountain Of should dos" doesn't it?
But half the battle of teaching a
child to save is to do 50 regularly.
Since children's memories are short,
particularly where time is concerned,
it Is up to Daddy and Mummie to
remember the calendar.
I think the best way to lead the
your mind toward this desirable
trait is to make saving a treat,
something that is fun to do. You
might use fat piggie bank. whose
mouth is always open for his IA
vorite food-copper pennies.
But better than any bank is the
chance we now have of not only
training our youngsters toward
thrift but doing a small bit to help
our country at the same time.
have yet to see a child who does
not adore to buy Defense stamps
for himself and who does not love
to stick them into his stamp book

Usual Length
OF Wedding
Reception
Newlyweds Must
Stay to Greet
Every Guest =
By Emily Post

To a bride-to- who asks the
approximate length of time that
she and the bridegroom will be sup
posed to stay at their reception and
whether the reception Is over when
they leave, the definite answer goes
no further than that they stay until
every one present has greeted them
and she has cut a piece of wedding
cake and he has responded to a
toast to the bride. At a very big
reception they stay much longer
than they would If it were small
1t may take almost an hour for the
queue of wellwishing guests to come
to an end. If the wedding is very
small one, the greetings might be
over in 10 or Is minutes. If they
have a sitdown breakfast, that in
turn takes long time.
At a guess, I might say that about
the shortest possible reception would
take half an hour and the longest
two hours or even three This last
would indicate a sitdown break
fast with dancing afterward. In
this last case the guests might stay
on even after the bride and BRIDE
groom have left, but not for very
long. At nearly all weddings, the
reception is over the moment the
bride and bridegroom have driven
away.
