crowded In to see an informal show

Their remarks ran the gamut of

music to the ears of Miss Marian

the collection. Their expressions OF
delight must surely have told her
that she was ION the beam" in de-

would love!
Looking at Miss Mccoy as she fit

too many years ago she must have

of beauty, and she still has the en-
thusiasm of a junior.
The collection of fall clothes she
has designed for girls falls into two
categories-flrst, the simple sports
wear, classroom or office type of
thing, and then the dressier kind of
dazzle duds for dates. Tailored or
soft, all the clothes boast those lit

such as midriffs that high light tiny

Mote of Thanks
Is Very Often
Needless
By Emily Post

While it is seldom necessary to
write a note Of thanks for brief hos
pitality, a note of appreciation for
kindness can never be improper.
This is written to the young wife
Of a clergyman who tells me:
1--WE expect to move into a new
section Of the country where nv
husband will be the assistant minis
ter to the clergyman of a very i'm
portant congregation. I am sure we
shall be invited out and welcomed.
What return am supposed to
make? I imagine none, but in that
case, tell me whether I should write
notes to the hostesses?"
Leave your cards on all who have
lett cards on you, or after any hos
pitality that has been shown YOU.
In time, you might give a large. but
simple afternoon tea (or a series of
small ones) until you have invited
everyone. An invitation counts the
same, as a courtesy repayment,
whether 1t is accepted or declined.
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
tell me how may correctly intro
duce my stepmother who is coming
to visit me. am very fond of her
but have never called her mother.
My father died several years ago.
but If anything, this has brought his
wife and me nearer. I do not like
the term "stepmother."
Answer-It is unfortunate that
you have this aversion to stepmother
because introducing her as such
would make the whole situation
quite clear. my fathers WIFE
which Is sometimes used-might
suggest that your father is living,
but unless you are willing to call
her My second mother" I can't
think of anything else but my
fathers wife" or simply Mrs.
Smith," both Of which sound con-
siderably colder, to me, than my
stepmother."
Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t better taste
to use a lace cloth, on a buffet we'd
ding table, or linen one?
Answer-I personally think linen
is IN best taste, but lace is equally
proper If you prefer it.

COLESLAW DRESSING.
THANKS to Mrs. G. E. L., Arlington J
In response to the request of Mrs
H. j. B. for a recipe for coleslaW
dressing, which makes the slaw soft
but not crisp, the following is SUBJ
mitted. Although not made with
sour cream as she requested, this
produces the effect desired.
tablespoon sugar.
tablespoon vinegar.
tablespoons cream.
Put sugar and vinegar in small
mixing bowl and stir until dissolved
Add cream, one spoonful at time
Pour over shredded cabbage to
which has been added celery seed
little green pepper, cut fine, salt
and pepper. Each may be prepared
in advance. but I do not recon-
mend combining dressing and cab
bage until just before coleslaw is to
be served.
I wish to thank Mrs. P. r. L..
Arlington, for the recipe covering
Italian tomatoes. On account OF
the lack of rainfall, I had scarcely
any, but if there had been any rain
Mrs. P. r. l.. would have been most
welcome to all she could carry away
as there would have been an abun-
dance of tomatoes.

BeautyHints
From Film
Capital
By Patricia Lindsay

According to Hollywood "perfec.
ton is made up of attention te
trifes," and from the Warner Bros.
Studio, come these timely sugges-
tions for more perfect, late-summel
beauty.
Begin with the outline of youl
face. Keep the hairline clean. ALLOW
no smudges of makeup to remain
in the hair.
Use a foundation cream or lotion
II your skin is not oily. Blend well
your make-up-there should be nc
signs of artificial aid!
Keep your eyebrows well shaped
with clean outlines. Always remove
face powder from them with stiff
brush.
Define your lip outline clearly
with a brush. Paint well into the
corners and If you desire to create
an illusion of a perpetual smile
paint the corners turning up a
trife!
Common sense living is the best
formula for skin beauty. This in
cludes drinking plenty Of water and
fresh fruit juices; a simple but ade-
uuate diet which avoids rich, greasy
foods or those highly seasoned: suf-
f1cient rest, fresh air and exercise.
A graceful, poised carriage Is an
invaluable beauty asset. This Is
achieved through perfect posture
and by keeping ones figure in nor
NAL proportions.
Healthy eyes have youth, sparkle
and beauty. Here is how to keep
your eyes beautiful and alluring:
Battle them daily in a soothing
solution.
Keep health up to par.
Work in good light.
Rest your eyes whenever they
feel strained or tired.
Practice these exercises daily:
Open and close the eyes SO times,
squeezing the lids together tightly
as possible, then opening the eyes
as wide as possible.
Open and close the eyes rapidly
10 times as you massage your tenn
piles in vigorous circular movements.
Palm the eyes. Cup the palms
slightly and cover the eyes keeping
all light out. Press firmly and rub
slowly in circle toward the nose.
This relaxes the eye muscles and
soothes them.
Roll the eyes 10 times to the
right, 10 times to the left in circles.
Then turn the eyes as far as pos
sible to the right, then to the left.
Lie down for 10 minutes with
q herbal eye pad covering the eyes.

Will you devote IA days to inn
proving your figure? Miss Lind
say gives you diet to follow and
a series of exercises to do which
can accomplish amazing results
in Ia days in her booklet 602.

What Is Considered
A Failing Heart?

The normal or healthy heart
pumps from two to three ounces of
blood with each beat; the failing
heart pumps only one and a half
ounces.
During a period of rest the heart
muscle can accumulate some re-
serve power. If the patient will
then gradually increase his exercise
(walking or other light exercise) =,
the heart muscle will gradually re-
gain some power and pump more
blood with each beat. 1t will not
then be necessary for the heart to
beat SO often to pump sufflcient
blood for the body's needs.

REMOVING STAINS.
REQUESTED by w. J. F., HynttspiHe.)
am enjoying your page and
learning many things from it. Do
you think some of your readers

brown stain from pair of light
woolen trousers made by spilling
peroxide on them? I would surely
appreciate it. Thank you.
HOUSEHOLD HINT.
(Thunks to Mrs. B. w. X,
Washington
am very thankful to Miss E. A. r..
for her recipe for cold fudge.
Although the lack of chocolate and
cocoa may prevent me from using
it for a while, I shall keep it until
I can.
I have very helpful hint to pass
on. AS wedding present some one
jokingly gave me a parchment dish
cloth that never turns greasy, moldy,
sour or smelly. 1t lasted several
months and when it wore out we
found that packaged vegetable
parchment, or the ordinary parch-
ment covers on celery heads worked
just as well. Each piece can be
used over and over again. The
parchment softens when it is wet
and dries every time clean and stiff.
1t seems to be the answer to WASH
ington dampness and mold.
BEAN SPROUTS.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. j., Washington.
In answer to a request of Miss
c. S. in recent column about bean
sprouts, have not been able to find
them canned recently, but she can
have sprouts by growing them. It
takes only five days for a crop
sufficient for her recipe each time
she needs them. Soy beans are now
available and little beforehand
planning will produce the proper
amount of sprouts when needed.
(Thanks to H. H. G., Washington.
Mrs. M. B. of Kensington should
read Life's article on soy beans,
which illustrates how to sprout and
serve them. (July 10, 1943, issue.)
The article suggests that readers
send for free pamphlet with
recipes and instructions on how to
sprout soy beans to the Emergency
Food Commission, Albany, N. Y,
and says, Soy beans rival meat in
nutritive value, can provide more
vitamin c than tomatoes, cook with
as little fuel as lamb chop"

(Thanks to Miss C. M, Riverdale. }
This recipe for uncooked fudge is
delicious and easily made but very
rich. 1t has a texture about like
that of thick chocolate frosting
and, of course, the amount of sugar
is approximate. Some might wish to
use less sugar and more nuts, or

cup nut meats.
l teaspoon vanilla.
6 squares bitter chocolate melted
with
2 tablespoons butter or margarine.
Beat eggs until thick. Add sifted
sugar slowly, beating after each ad-
dition. Stir in finely cut nut meats,
then add vanilla and melted choco-
late and butter. Blend well and
spread in buttered pan or platter.
Cut into squares when firm and
cool.
This keeps very we'll under re-

handmade, directly from North

odor that calls out for a gas mask
and I hesitate to carry it for that
reason. Has any one any sugges-

I have certainly enjoyed the
Readers Clearing House and am
still amazed at the quick response
that each request has received. I
