But with that sort of thing now
we'll behind us there is no valid
excuse for delayed arrival. Or,
if there should be, the least that
can be done is to telephone.
Nothing at all can be said for
late arrival at a dinner. Every
thing can be said against it. In
the first place, it is a distinct in
suit to the host and hostess, not
to mention the other guests.
Furthermore, it shows a total in
difference to the food which is
being prepared, often with loving
care, by a cook who regards his
or her work as a noble art
which it is.

glorious natural color photo
graphs from the fashion maya
zines make a wonderful basket
for the young girls room. Car
toons from the mems magazines
make amusing waste baskets for
the boys room or the library.
The rainy afternoon and the
evenings spent at home are ideal
for these small, interesting jobs.
The pleasure in making decora-
tive and useful appointments for
each room in the house far sur
passes the small amount of time
and money expended.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-12-27

The lowly waste basket is a
most important accessory to
every room. Often ignored, it
may be one Of the most decora-
tive of all small conveniences.
The shops make a specially OF
hand-painted tole waste baskets.
Designed to go we'll with a room
color scheme they are as ex-
quisitely painted as fine artists
can make them and priced &C
cordingly. Usually small trays
or desk appointments are de-
signed to go with them and the
effect of these small items in a
room is as arresting as carefully
chosen jewelry on smart cos
tune.
Now that time spent at home
makes it possible for many of us
to make household decorations,
a waste basket for every room in
the house might be one of the
first worthwhile projects.
Painted ones would be best
for the kitchen, nursery and
bath. These may be purchased
for about a quarter in the small
size and about 40 cents for the
larger ones. You will still find
tin waste baskets on the market
or If you prefer there are the
nice large ones made of hard
pressed board which take either
a paint, fabric or paper cover
equally well.
With a large one for the
kitchen and a small one for the
nursery and bath assembled you
may treat them all to a prim-
ing coat of paint as a founda-
ton for further decoration. Be
sure to paint them inside and
out.
When the printing coat Is dry
plan to use two coats of enamel
to finish. The one for the kitchen
may be painted a bright color
inside to match the accent color
in the room. The outside may
be the color of the walls, white,
or one of the lighter tones in
the kitchen. For instance
pale gray basket resting on a
gray marble linoleum floor might
have shrimp pink lining.
Then decorate with hand
painted border or a stencil in
shrimp pink, white and black
on the sides Of the waste basket.
The nursery one should be
painted to match the delicate
colors of the children's room.
1t is always more attractive
with the inside a contrasting
shade. Flower decalcomanias
In pastel tones or gay little nur-
sery figures might be used to
decorate this basket. Bathrooms
are usually sleek and cold with
shiny white tile so that a warm
contrasting color Is best here.
Match the color of your shower
curtain or the bath towels 50
that the waste basket will add
one more gay color note to the
scene.
Flower sprays. done by hand
are not difficult. even for the
novice. The main idea is to use
nice color and a sketching stroke,
rather than a too-painstaking
effort to keep within the pencil
line. Use oil paint with turpen-
tine to thin it. Lay in the gen.
eral form Of the flowers and
leaves with light dashing stroke
of the brush. Point up with
deeper tones for the center Of
flowers and dark veins In the
leaves. It is most helpful to have
picture or sketch to work from,

Bv Anqelo Pafri

Girls Of 10 through the early
EOS are not exactly children.
nor are they by any stretch OF
time or imagination women OF
poise gained by experience. They
have many Of the attributes of
childhood and a few OF those OF
womanhood. They need steady
heads to carry them through
their war service without damage
to their future.
Many OF our young women are
engaged in aiding the hostesses
of servicemen. They serve in the
big halls where many soldiers
gather, in church houses, private
homes, entertaining the service
men, dancing with them, listen
ing to their stories, helping them
to refreshments. Some of them
meet ships and trains, some
serve behind desks, some in hos
pitfalls. Wherever servicemen are
the young women are needed and
usually are to be found.
A word to these young women,
so completely devoted to their
country's good, SO inexperienced
in the ways of man with maid.
so ignorant of the ways of the
world with young woman who
incurs its displeasure, as to be
helpless in the face OF a major
mistake. Watch yourself. You
and you only will live your life
through and after this war. You
and you only will have to suffer
for any mistake you make in as
ISOLATION with a serviceman.
True, our young women know
the facts of life. So do the young
men. True, times have changed
since grandmother wore hoops
and sat in the parlor with her
beau. But human nature has
not changed nor have the atti-
, tudes of older people changed
toward the young woman who
oversteps the bounds that have
been set for her. No proud
defiance Of opinion, of custom,
or OF law, can, or will, loosen
the grief of the young woman
who forgets the actualities of
wifehood and motherhood in the
glamour of wartime. They hold
good to the end. Be careful.
Hostesses have a duty here. In
selecting the girls who are to en-
terrain soldiers they should be
careful to pick those who are not
easily stirred by emotion at the
sight of homesick lad, by the
soft love tones of selfish man,
who takes what he can get wher-
ever he gets 1t in the way of
pleasure. There are some girls
who cannot withstand blandish-
ments of this sort and a mature
woman such as a hostess of a
service organization soon dis
covers them. They should be
given work that does not make
emotional demands upon them
and encouraged to stay within
its limitations.
1t seems to me rather risky to
encourage young women to take
servicemen who are strangers to
them about in their cars, to
places OF entertainment outside
those established by the authori-
ties. 1t seems to me that the
young people need not go to road
houses, or movies, or house parties
when the men are servicemen
lately arrived in camp. The

Rest Up!

appointment now with a good
beauty salon for one day next

tons. If the budget allows, buy
yourself a box of new matched
makeup and fresh supply of
beauty aids If yours are running
low. Dip into these all week

been neglected too long.
Tired looking hair requires
brushing; dry and fading skin
needs massage, stimulation and
lubricating. Your eyes would
benefit from little attention, too

bathing them at the end of the
day with soothing lotion. Your
body would respond gratefully to

I'm love with katharine from the

marriage, Hal found out the
truth, it was too late.
HAL knew that knowledge Of
the daughters baseness would
