Bv Emily Post

A letter just received on the ques-
tionable manners of a hostess is so
vivid my impulse to print it needs
no explanation. This is the letter:
Il know it can be maddening to
have to click off a favorite radio
program in order to welcome
strangers who choose that time to
pay a visit. But I do think we have
to bear up on occasion and accept
the sacrifice as 'one of those things
OF course. when neighbors and
friends make a habit of interrupting
programs I agree with those who
say it is right to be frank on this
subject. But this does seem to me
very extreme: At the request of her
mother -in-law I went to see a new
bride. She greeted me breathlessly
at the door with, oh, do come in,
Mrs. x. Johns mother wrote me
about you Whereupon she prac-
tically pushed me into the living
room, saying, You won't mind our
listening just about five minutes to
the game-it's so exciting-the Cards

him for the cause and you will
find it.
You. will help yourself greatly
by choosing the one important point
to maintain with this child. Just
one. Let the others all 60 for the
present. Say you decide you want
him to come when he is called. At
tend to that one point and don't
bother that day or days with tbs
scattered toys, the dirty hands, tho
sand on the porch and the like. Just
teach him to come when he is called,
and give him practice in that action.
Make 1t job even II you have to
let other jobs 60 by.
1t is important to have a little
child know he is to come when he
is called. 1t may be necessary
that he do so in time Of danger.
Begin by teaching him to come
when you call in the house. Re-
ward him with a word of praise,
a smile, sometimes have something
good to give him, like q cookie
something that is a treat and not
routine matter. That makes his
first experiences pleasant and is a
good start.
1t is important in teaching this
lesson that you show the child YOU
had reason for calling him. You
don't call him for the sake OF us
ing your voice. You have some
thing to give him: you have some
thing for him to do, you have need
OF him if it is only to show him
something pretty. Do not call him
and have nothing to show for
cause. That will teach him that
coming at call is not worth while.
Make 1t worth while.
When he grows older and plays
outdoors be careful about calling
him only when il is necessary. Let
him know that you are going to
call him at a certain time and re-
member to do SO. If he does not
come promptly, do not call again,
but 60 for him and bring him in
and tell him that he must come
at once. If he does not, he will
lose time off his free period. And
make good on that. He must learn
you have a reason, that is some
thing for his good, that you will In
slst that he appear promptly.

Swin1 theCrdwl
With Correct
Leg Action
By Josephine Lo,cman

Today I am offering hints for
those who want to learn to swim
Here's how to learn the leg action
used in swimming the crawl, today s
most popular stroke.
The leg action is an up-and-
down thrash which comes from the
hips and extends to the toes. This
is done scissors fashion, one leg 60
ing down as the other comes up
While the kick comes from the hips
and not the knees, yet the knees and
ankles should be relaxed. At first
you may have to think of your knees
as stiff in order to avoid kicking
from them, but later on you car
achieve leg action which comes
from the hips and yet leaves the
ankles and knees relaxed.
The toes should be pointed in
pigeon-toe fashion. The feet shoule
not break the waters surface ex.
cept in speed swimming when they
create quite splash. The fee
should be from 8 to II inches apart
depending on your build and tn.
length of your legs.
The number of leg drives which
you execute to each complete arm
movement may be 6, 8, 10 or II. TIL,
average swimmer will find the 81,
beat most satisfactory. However
do not worry about the speed of you
leg action in this stage of practice
Do try to make it rhythmic. Al
irregular kick spoils your stroke ant
power.
Perfect your leg action before try.
ing to add the arm stroke to 1t. Fo
practice hang onto the edge Of tn,
pool, or float with the face sub.
merged and try your kick.
Things to remember:
Be careful at first or you will kicl
from the knees instead of the hips
If you use the pigeon-toed posi-.
ton and hold the knees and ankle
stiff you will find that this tires vol
and does not give you adequate
driving power.
Try to make your kick regular.

First Thought of Hostess
Is for Guests Comfort

it all; kept transcribing the plays
to me even after I had told her I
didn't know the game at all. After
it was over-which was no less than
20 minutes later instead of 5-she
was most friendly and 1 forgot, for
the time being, that I had intended
to do so many things on my only
free afternoon that week. Time is
SO lacking these days that one can't
be serene about having 1t wasted.
Oh, know most people, who like
baseball, will think I am crotchety
for expecting one who shares their
enthusiasm for the game to accept
such an unintentional interruption
simply as hard luck and to turn
off the radio and make the best of
1t. But I do think 50 and I wonder
II you are willing to discuss it,"
The correct" answer to this Is
that unless the visitor not only says,
please don't turn it Off" but also
shows some interest in the program; !;
or unless the visitor is a really init
mate friend who intends to sit down
and stay for while, the hostess
should shut it off! No doubt about
that!

Banned by this order are double
breasted suits and jackets, not in
Guiding unlined suit dresses of the
two-piece variety; culottes, reversible
skirts, lined skirts, quilted and skat-
ing skirts, dresses with bi-swing,
vent or Norfolk-type backs; epaulets
or tabs on the shoulders of dresses,
suits, jackets and coats.
The order now will eliminate dou-
BILE collars on dresses, coats and
| jackets. There will be a narrower
sweep of evening gowns and skirts,
those made of crepes, crepe satins
and such will be limited to 80 inches
as compared to 144 in the original
order Evening gowns of tranSpar-
ent materials no longer may use IA
to 18 yards of material, but must be
confined to about yards. Taffeta,
fiat satin and other materials re-
main at IA inches, and since any
dresses shorter than floor or ankle
length automatically come under
the heading of daytime clothes, the
"half-length" dress is eliminated.
You'll have fewer pockets on your
clothes-two for coats and dresses,
one for skirts. A 72-inch hip meas
urement for skirts means the elm
ination of the exaggerated peg-top
drape, but still leaves plenty of room
for interesting and skillful handling
of material Limitations on the
number and sizes of ruffles and
trimming bows also come under
these new amendments
Interesting is the fact that the
fabric picture has changed so COM
pletely in the past year that most of
the restrictions on the use of wool
such as the ban on pockets, Innings
and faps-have been removed. Re-
strictions now apply almost equally
to all fabrics.
Exceptions to the rule are made
for women feet 7i2 inches in
height or taller, but the relaxation
of rules for them calls for the use
of additional material only to the
extent actually needed. All aux
iliaries of the armed services are
exempt, of course. So is clothing
manufactured abroad and received
in customs here prior to July l. l943
Amateur dressmakers need not ad-
here to all the regulations, but
patterns will conform and pro-
fesSional dressmakers and custom
tailors will be subject to LBS. The
combination sale of any garment
with any other article, whether Or
not it is another article of clothing,
is prohibited
The order is effective May 26 for
all fall and winter clothing which
manufacturers will begin cutting
shortly. In the case of summer
apparel the order takes effect July
$50 will not be apparent to Mrs.
Consumer this summer.

Veronica Shows
Nep Collection

All the chic and poise that you
would hope to find in a Partisan
fashion designer is embodied in a
tall, slender, titan-haired lady named
Veronica. Formerly a designer for
Piguet, she came to this country two

world of style talking about her in
teresting hat and accessory crea-
tions Now she has brought to

the skillful handwork that has long
distinguished French creations The

continued to do exclusive. handmade
fashions, using imported materials
rs long as they were available.

Wartime Menu
Includes TASTY
Cheese Dish
BY Edith NJ. Barber

Cheese dishes have advanced from
the luncheon to the dinner menu
these days. In many households
one Of these appears once a week
While red stamps must be used for
cheese, half a pound demands only
four points, and can be put to good
use to take the place of meat. 1t is
possible to use little less than halt
pound which makes about two
cups of grated cheese in souffle OF
fOndue or some other casserole
dish, and to have a little leftover to
use some other time during the week
as flavor for sauce. We have
discarded our old American habit
of serving cheese with pie for the
duration. 1t was always American
| cheese that we chose for this pur-
pose, and this is the type that we use
most often in cookery both because
it Is comparatively inexpensive, and
because it is particularly suited for
use in cookery.
Either the American cheese which
is known rs "store" or rat" rather
than by its true name OF cheddar, or
a "proceSsed" cheese may be used.
The first is usually shredded or
grated, the second is cut in small
cubes or melted without any pre-
vious treatment. Processed or pas
teurized cheese has the same compo-
sition as other cheese, but because
OF the method OF manufacture has a
different texture. In general, the
flavor is more mild than that of the
old-fashioned cheese.
For dishes made with a compara-
lively small amount of cheese, eggs
are often used. This is an advan-
taRe because the protein content is
extended and this is important when
a meat substitute Is used as a main
dish. In addition, eggs contribute to
the texture and flavor.

Safe, Sane Way
To Lose
Weight
Bv Patricia Lindsay

| A girl who is about 20 pounds
overweight and is in her late 2Os
wishes to know how she can reduce
at least Is pounds in two weeks.
With the bathing season at hand
she wishes to be simmer and will
not buy bathing suit until she has
reduced
1 suspect this girl in her late 20s
has a job and uses considerable
energy doing it and possibly more
| energy on volunteer war work. Un-
der no circumstances should she re-
duce quickly.
No matter what the age there Is
only one safe and sane way of re-
ducing and that is gradually,
through watching ones diet and ex-
ercislng daily without fail The only
exception to this rule is when a
woman is under the supervision of
a doctor who insists upon rapid re-
duction OF weight for the treatment
of an ailment. When this is pre-
scribed the patient is usually in
structed to give up all work for the
period Of trea atment.
Reduction OF weight through
strenuous dieting, without exer-
clslng, is rash decision. 1t de-
vltallzes one and invites illness. One
should eat balanced menus, in
limited portions, and exercise for a
period every day to reduce. 1t is
quite possible that an overweight
can drop pounds the first week
without feeling devitalized-in fact.
she might feel the better for doing
so! But if she lost pounds every
week for five weeks and was still
active during the day she would
certainly be flirting with poor health.
Two pounds the first week, 8
pounds each week following, is the
safest rate Of reducing If one is Is
pounds or more overweight. If one
is less than Is pounds overweight
then I would suggest that only 2
pounds a week be dropped for seven
weeks.
One must exercise to keep the
muscles elastic and firm and to keep
the circulation of the body brisk.
You all have seen women with deep
wrinkles and f1abby flesh rolls who
have reduced too rapidly or too
much, or reduced without taking
exercise or professional massage.
When one considers how many
months it took for the extra pounds
to accumulate it makes sense to
take time to get rid of them.
should advise this girl to begin
her reducing at once, drop 2 pounds
the first week, 3 each week after.
In three or four weeks she could
purchase too-snug fitting bathing
suit and use it for inspiration to
continue her reducing program! She
might find that she need not lose
as many as 20 pounds to have a
nicely proportioned figure-and in
three weeks from date she would
be 8 pounds the simmer and look
and feel the better!

SA4AAAAAAAAiSS. ~
Naturally, the order is full Of
technicalities which we, as con-
sumers, won't have to worry too
much about. The questions which
come to the mind of every woman
reading about amendments to L-85
are these: How different will my
clothes look next fall and winter?
Will they be so skimpy that I won't
look well in them, or so unadorned
that they will lack INTEREST,""
The answer, a reassuring answer,
lies in the provisions of this revised
clothing order. It calls for no rigid
pattern into which all fashion must
fall, nor does it limit creative de-
sign within the restrictions listed.
Two controls set the key to this
new revision. The body basic" the
name given to the basic silhouette,
must conform to the specific limi-
tations listed in WPB's lengthy
order. Measurements remain un-
changed from the present, except
that there are reductions in the
sweep of dresses and skirts and
limitations on the length and width
of sleeves and hip dimensions. A
trimming allowance has been set,
controlling such things as SUI
perf1uous bows and ruff1es and pock-
ets-a fact which will be relief to
women who for years have been
pleading for simplif1ed, less busy"
clothes. This allowance is limited
to about y yard of 39-inch ma
terial used to trim women's, misses
and junior misses clothes.
Even the kiddies come in for
their share this time Toddlers'
dresses from to 4 will appear sans
skirt ruf1es, double breasted jack
cts, suspenders. petticoats and
aprons, among other things.
For the first time. neckWear and
maternity dresses are brought under
control. In the former category,
noticeable differences will be that
no collar will be more than inches
wide, no cuff more than 3 inches
wide or with more than two buttons
and two buttonholeS. There are other
restrictions on quilting, tucking and
shirring, which very likely will not
even be obvious to the purchaser.
In maternity fashions, a sweep of
80 inches will be allowed for a size
is and junior size Is, In contrast
to sweep of 70 inches for size
16 in regular dresses. Eighty-four
inches will be the allotment in ma
ternity clothes size 40. All dresses
may be 1-inch longer than the
lengths prescribed for daytime or
suit dresses and there is a less Sc

Small Tots Room

Buy just as good furniture for a
ehilds room as the rest of the house.
If you favor antiques, why not use
them in the nursery? 1t is always
wasteful to buy anything but good
furniture. There is probably nothing
with more charm than an antique
cradle or child's spool bed. Brightly
colored, sprightly horses cavorting
across the falls and sky-blue
