Round About the House

Dear Miss NOVEL;: For five years
I have gone along vicariously fur
nishing my home from the house
hold magazines until the Peter
Hunt" bug hit me. I have accumu-
lated such conglomeration that
you, like I, might decide 1t all has
to be junked. My furniture was
originally bought for a much larger
house. I traded the too-long sofa
and matching chair for a three
piece maple set, which does not
seem to get along with the Governor
Winthorp walnut secretary. My
greatest headache though, is a
Jacobean dining room suite big
enough for a feudal castle cramped
into a 9xl1 dining room. This is of
oak with a grand profusion of carv-
ing, curly legs, etc. 1t was quite
expensive, but looks like less than
2 cents. I started whiting things
OF of 1t even before it was paid
for. T also found out that it does
not bleach we'll as the stain Is too
deep, so I have no qualms about

how.
I saw in one of the department
stores a finish called "California"
wood. 1t looked as though the sur
face was painted with sage green,
with an overcoat Of grayish tan.
Would that be an idea for matching
up the woods? My dining room is
separated from the living room by
a wide arch. If the oak furniture
can be whitfield down to the size
of the dining room, where would
you suggest I turn for a carpenter

thought of enrolling in a class, or
maybe the Goodwill Industries

might replace the fussy legs on the
fronts of four chairs. I plan to
cut of the backs Of the chairs to
lower them and use covers on backs

Photographic
Makeup Is
Different
Bv Patricia Lindsay

More photographs of women are
being taken today than at any time
in history. These are inspired by
the men in our military forces for
next to letters from loved ones, por-
traits are greatest "bolsterers" OF
soldier morale!
But many of these photographs
are disappointing simply because
women who pose for them fail to
appreciate the show girls" aspects
of portraiture That is the opinion
Of Hollywood beauty expert
1t is true that correct makeup
governed by the same artistic prin-
ciples which guarantee the beauty
of screen stars, Is essential to cap
turing your glamour in a photo
graph. An every day type of make
up, no matter how perfect it may
be, does not photograph as flatter-
ingly as professional makeup.
The first step in creating a CLAM
orous likeness is the application of
a pancake foundation Shades
darker than you usually use), which
gives a mat finish to the skin and
conceals many minor skin imperfec-
tions. With a moist sponge, you
apply caked powder sparingly and
evenly and when it is dry you pow
der generously with a matching
shade.
p Do not use rouge unless you use
it to minimize feature such as
sagging chin line by rouging the
dropping area. Or If your nose is
too wide rouge the side to make it
appear more slender in the photo

see you use some of the oak In thS
living room. Could you make con-
sole table out Of the strip you cut
of the dining table on the other
two dining table legs--possibly cut
down bit? Then place the other
two dining chairs at either side of 1t.
This will introduce the same ele-
ments of design into your living
room and as the two rooms run to-
gether it will help somewhat in your
plan. I think the California finish
would be very nice. Paint the maple
and the oak alike and try to repeat
the same color you use on the seats
and backs OF the oak chairs In the
upholstery on the maple pieces. This
will tie them together even better.
You will find this grayish finish will
reduce the size of the furniture al
most as much as cutting IL down.

band when We dressed it up-and
match it with a tiny black velvet
bow on the blouse Or you might
use colored ribbons to create color
effects.
Another bit of shirt-and- skirt
magic We liked at one of the shops
started with a black novelty wool
crepe skirt To go with it-a match
ing top with tricolored ribbon band
circling la belle poitrine and ending
in fiat bow. The colors on this
were stunning-fuchsia, green and
orchid-and the trick would be to
pick up the fuchsia in accessories.
For very special occasions. the same
skirt takes a button-fro jacket
blouse of hot pink" or aquamarine
wool crepe with shoulder flowers of
black crochet and beads. Very, very
good.
AS you see, the basis of this quick
change formula is at least one good
skirt Buy a well-fltting one that's
neither too tailored, nor too dressy,
and let your blouse set the pace
for the costume as tailored or as
all-out-for-glamour as the occasion
demands. Your best bet from a
change-about standpoint is a good
black skirt. One honey of a black
skirt in petit-point wool has two
crescents of shirring for front full
ness. Another version of the draw
string skirt is made of black wool
jersey, no pleats, with a draw-cord
to pull what fullneSs there is to the
front Very simple, very smart
but not sweet to your figure If your
rear view is not symmetrical.) For
you 5-foot beauties, there are high
wasted skirts that will add inches
to your height. For any of you.
there are trouser- Skirts Ii m,
straight skirts with a slight sugges-
ton of front fullness via high placed
trouser pleats, others with flaps for
fool-the-eye pockets. Strictly date
bait are black velveteen dirndl-ef-
fects and apron front crepe skirts
to go with cute little ruffly blouses
and other tidbits.
There are also plenty of your
favorite flattering gored skirts as
well as straight ones with box pleats
fore and aft. One of the best buys
In these is a spun rayon for under
four dollars.
Blouses still have restrictions
but you'd never know it-theyre so
pretty. There are lots of bow blouses
with soft ties to flatter your face.
In soft jersey, in damask-type
rayon, in rayon crepe-you1l find
they're good compromise blouses
that look precise enough for your
tailored suit, soft enough for your
dressmaker. Newest are the ones
with their understated string bows
such as a long -sleeved wool jersey
We saw in luscious turquoise with
tiny black velvet bow.
If you're looking ahead. you'll buy
a jumper blouse-young fashion re-
vival from the twenties. Wear it
over your skirt and let its snug hip
hugging lines give you a very New
Look. Buy it's matching skirt and
you have smart two-piece dress
that will be good mixer in your
wardrobe. Our pet is the pullover-
such as the drop-shouldered, short
sleeved smoothie we saw at one of
the stores-best in black worn with
black skirt for a one-color, two

A Shirt, a Skirt and You

"A shirt, a skirt-and you" might
well be the title of song dedicated
to Americas current sweetheart. For,
just as our fathers get misty-eyed
at mention of .he Gibson girl, so
our pals will probably, in years to
come, weep in their beer at the
memory of the girl In the shirt and
skirt.
There's no getting away from it.
The shirt and skirt Is a fattering
fashion. It's slim, it's trim-and
it does things to you With the dark
skirt-color to slim those hips-and
the brighter, lighter color above to
light up your face, it is becoming
to almost every one. If you think
you're too short for this fashion, try
wearing one of the new high
wasted skirts-and see how the long
lines give you taller, trimmer
effect.
Here's a practical fashion, too,
these days when keeping your
clothes clean is problem. A fresh
shirt every day (many are wash
able D-and you're set.
The biggest virtue of this fashion,
however, is its versatility. Right now
when we're all trying so hard to get
by on as little as possible so that
we can buy enough War Bonds, it's
a smart answer to making a small
clothes budget 60 long way.
With one good skirt and brace
Of pretty blouses, you can really
create quite an impression. Take
the girl in the picture, for instance.
She is caring an all-round, pleated-
effect wool skirt. For work and the
daily grind, she wears it with a
tattersall-checked wool-like spun
rayon, while for her more glamorous
moments she wears the same skirt
with a pretty ruff1ed-for- romance
blouse. CBest of all, you'll get change

along his rude way, unconscious of
your righteous wrath-it only wastes
your energy! You are unnecessarily
grieved, and squandering precious
moments that might otherwise be
used constructively.
People like your in-laws cannot
really be blamed for their discour-
tesy because they are either too
ignorant, or too selfish, to behave
like ladies and gentlemen. In any
case, they are deserving only of
your tolerant and polite, indiffer-
ence, tempered by your private pity.
The very people who abandon
their friends and relatives when
they are i'll are the ones who howl
to high heaven for help and atten-
tion the moment they are hospital
lied!
If a father and mother accept
their child's husband or wife, then
they are most discourteous If they
ignore the births of this couples
children.
Mothers-in-l should be especi-
ally careful not to be Indifferent to
their sons wives when their babies
are born. This is the sort of neglect
that can cause serious riffs in FAM
lilies. The heartless woman who ig-
nores her sons wife at this time is
deserving of contempt.
Close members of a mans family
should be especially careful to be
thoughtful to his wife when her
children arrive. II they are not,
they should not expect to be well
coined in her home, because this is
the sort of slight that few women
can forget. A hospital visit, small

flowers, are all tokens of courtesy
that are great aids in smoothing in
law relationships.

they are so much more likely to be
useful than the other elephants you

idea to cut of the backs of the

wobbly chair is a nuisance and it
will take a good cabinet-maker to
put the legs on your chairs and give
you a good solid job. Swell plan
to make the dresser out of the buffet

throw them away just yet. Remove
the top from the table and cut it
down to size that will seat your
family and fit into the dining room.

Lady, Have
Your Fare
Ready!
By Emily Post

Paying ones own way through
life isn't question of amount, as is
illustrated in the following letter:
My flance and I spent the evening
with friends of mine, and when it
came time to leave, another visitor,
who lives our way, asked if she might
come with us because it was late.
We said to come, of course. On the
bus my fiance felt placed in the po-
sition of having to pay for her. Later
on he remarked that it should not
have been necessary for him to pay
for stranger, and yet, since she
made no move to look for her purse,
he would have felt i'll at ease about
paying two fares for us and letting
the conductor ask her for hers. I
think it would have been right for
him to take it for granted that she
was paying her own way. The fare
was so cents--not a nickel. Please
explain about such situations, won't
you?"
Considering that she was not in
any sense your guest, she should
have paid her own fare Even If the
amount might be only a nickel, ad-
mirable people never look to others
tc pay for them.

Dear Mrs. Post: A mere acquaint-
ance of ours has asked my husband,
who is just 10 years her senior, TO
give her away at her wedding. She
is being married away from home
and has explained that none of her
family can be present We hardly
know this girl, and think it is out
of place for my husband to give her
away. In fact, my daughters and I
think it makes little sense. He
! doesn't know how he can refuse
however. What is your opinion and
! advice?
Answer-The fact that your hus-
band is only 10 years her senior is
of small Importance, since it Is not
necessary that man be old enough
to be brides father in order tc
give her in marriage. The fact that
she has no one else to ask is the
point that makes it very hard fol
him to refuse to serve as a proxy fol
her father. I might add that have

similar to this, where an almost

Dear Mrs. STREET.: I wish you
would write some etiquette rules for
relatives. Let me tell you how my
in-laws treated me.
There are seven of them, aunts,
uncles, grandmother and grand
father, all working but two, and
fairly well off" None of them
have any children, mine was to be
the first grandchild.
When the baby arrived In the
spring 7 looked for them to visit
me in the hospital, but none of them
did. They sent me a card of con-
gratulations. I was home from the
hospital three weeks before they
finally showed their faces, and then,
that was all they did show. They
did not even bring me gift. 1t was
Christmas, and the baby was
months old before I received any
gifts from them for her.
They are all nice enough people,
but just didn't know what was ex-
pected of them, since none of them
ever had children themselves, ex-
cept my her-in-law, of course
I guess she must have forgotten
what young mother looks forward
to. Maybe If you write an article

good use, but when that time does

thing to possess. One in particular

tionaily ideal, for it not only had a
sharp knife blade, but also a bottle
opener, cutter and file. The article
was comparatively inexpensive
