injure the skin and could be

repellants are going exclusively
to the military-which is as 1t

If such creams could have been
obtained during the earlier

Etiquette in
Wartime
Bv Emily Post

The fact that men In the
service or on night shifts in war
plants are unable to show their
girl friends all of the courtesies
that were exacted in peacetime,
has nothing to do with the sub
ject Of this letter:
"A man friend of mine and
have had a discussion about his
seeing me home after a date.
The question arises when the
man lives in the opposite direc-
ton from me. This particular
friend thinks that it is proper to
pay the fare and send me home
in a taxi. He did this a short
time ago, since which I have re-
fused to go out with him. Had
1t been an emergency I would not
have minded, but he insists that
this is proper at all times"
I agree with you entirely. An
emergency such as having to
catch a last bus back to camp
would excuse his sending you
home, but not the "war-dragged
in to serve his convenience"
X X y
Dear Mrs. Post: Should a star
on a service flag in church be
removed when one of the boys
has been given an honorable dis
charge? And what happens
when a boy dies in the service?
Answer: If he failed to quail
fly as soldier, his star would be
removed, but if he has served as
a soldier, the star would remain
on the flag. In case of his death,
a gold star would be superim-
posed upon the blue star or else
the latter would be removed and
replaced by gold one, else
where.

Milady's Creams Go to War

Army orders for face camouflag-
ing creams in such odd hues as
light green, sand and loan. Put
up in stick form, they are being
issued to soldiers for use on our
battle fronts.
Experience has shown that
jungle fighters are less vulner-
able to enemy snipers when their
faces, as well as their clothes,
blend into the light green jungle
background. For desert warfare,
a loan or sand-colored face
paint has proved of value. This
is not the sort of makeup" cal
culated to enhance the good
looks of our fighting men-but
appearances mean nothing when
victory, or life itself, is at stake!

In spite of the fact that here

is no longer accurate.

Another useful gift is money

walking bank. Chances are, some
doting friend gave him one before
he left, but if you know that your
man has no money belt, send him
one. The boys like to carry their
money close to their chests.
. Talking of playing close to the
chest reminds us that small
pocket-size games are welcome
gifts such as the tiny poker set
illustrated, or the poker-set of

cause the knives double for can
opener, screw driver, reamer, bot
tle-opener and various cutting
uses. Too often they get tins of
food from home without a can
opener. If there's no knife around
to substitute, they rip the cans
open with their bayonets, we un-
derstand, which messes up the
food, and is not, we are sure,
recommended procedure for
handling a bayonet.
In fact, any article that is good
for a number of uses is sure to be
appreciated, such as small utility
bag-with Upper and without
the trappings. Skip the fitted
cases, girls. The boys definitely
don't want them. They only take up
Food-for Thought
Of course, the boys want food
especially in those theaters
where food is scarce and where
they can repay favors with food.
Also a box from home makes a
nice surprise snack at the end of
a hard day. However, you must
use thought in sending food.
Chocolates and some of those
wonderful melt lt-in-your-mouth"
cookies aren't good travellers.
The Army Post Office, incidental
ly, points out that no perishables
will be accepted for overseas
mailing. Top favorite food with
the boys is well-packed fruit

couple to two soldiers last year.

Now it is the pulpwood campaign and
it is equally serious because hundreds
