Round About the Home

Dear Miss Nowell--I purchased a
modern unfinished chest. The wood
Is oak. How do you 60 about finish
ing the same? I would like it to
look like the new light wood furni-
ture YOU see in the stores. Is there
an easy way to do this. Thanks a
lot-Mrs. r. L.
Answer-Sand the whole surface
OF the chest with fine sandpaper
working with the grain until you
have smooth surface. Get small
can Of penetrating oil stain which
shows on the color card to be close
to the color OF wood you wish to du-
plicate. Cut this with turpentine
or solvent to make 1t less intense in
color and paint the whole surface
of the chest with the stain. Give
this several hours to dry. If the
color Is not deep enough you may
paint on another coat of the stain.
But be very careful not to get it
too dark on the first coat as it is
almost impossible to remove. If you
can get shellac you may treat the
surface when the stain Is dry. Sand
down the first coat of shellac and
give the chest another coat. Sand
this one down and then wax the
chest. Keep it waxed and pol
ished every few weeks to build up
a good surface. This is the simplest
method OF treatment with the ma
terials available today. If you can
not get shellac you may put the
wax right on top of the stain. You
will need to build up high finish
by waxing and polishing to pro-
tect the surface of the wood. 4

Shopping around

II you're still having or anticipate
having trouble with mildew and
mold, you'd better take precautions
and purchase a new product that
viii help eliminate this difficulty.
There are several well-known con-
coctions on the market, but the
latest to be stocked by q local store
comes in . heavy cardboard con-
tainer that you leave as is and just
place in the closet. This will help
protect clothes, shoes and other
valuables against damage caused
by mold, dampness and rust. 1t is
said this product is very effective
for use in damp cellar, but un-
doubtedly it would be necessary to
have several large packages for q
room Of that size. However, it
comes in several sizes to fit your
specific requirements.
We suppose there are some
people who make q collection of
decanters, and il 50, they cer-
tainly should see the new supply
on hand in a local shop. These
bottles are the most unusual,
attractive and amusing ones seen
in many day.. The odd shapes
are an outstanding feature, but
the decorations win the prize.

Good Grooming
Should Start
In Cradle
By Leftice Lee Street,

Modern mothers not only want
their babies to grow up to be robust
intelligent, honest, good-tempered
and ambitious: they also want them
to be attractive. They do not con-
slider pride in ones appearance to
be sin, as did their forebears.
They recognize the truth that beauty
and good grooming have strong
effect upon human relationships
Good looks are a definite asset to
both women and men and have a
powerful influence upon success.
Naturally, not all babies can be
beautiful, but If q mother adds a
little beauty care to her babys
regular daily routine he is likely to
develop attributes of beauty. Neg
lected natural beauty is unlovely.
Wen-trained good looks may be
most attractive. What charm has
curly golden hair If it is dry, luster-
less, unskillfully cut, or, even worse.
dirty? Who sees exquisitely tapered
fingers If the nails have never been
shaped and are broken and black
ened?
Briefly, then, here are few nur-
sery beauty hints-and every mother
should practice them on her own
cherub.
Cleanliness, as you know, is the
first beauty rule-but we are going
to speak only of babies whose
mothers keep them sweet and clean
and freshly dressed at all times.
Keep baby's nails short and
rounded, and cut them when he is
asleep. Hangnails should be clipped
of, and IL they leave little sore it
should be touched with alcohol.
Shape the tiny nails carefully and
gently push back the cuticle. In
wintertime apply hand lotion regu-
larly to avoid rough, red skin. In
summer do likewise If the baby
becomes very sun tanned. This
simple care, If regularly followed
throughout infanthood and child
hood, helps to assure beautiful
hands, fingers and nails later on.
You may give meticulous care to
the skin on your baby's body. Do
not forget his face. Prevent chap
ping In blustery weather by applying
cold cream or vaseline thinly over
the baby's face and hands; do the
same in summer if the baby is
exposed daily to the sun. That deli
cate, peachy skin should be pro-
tected from rough clothing and ex-
tremes of the elements. With the
exception of prickly heat, never
wash skin rashes with water; always
use oil.
If tiny baby's scalp is kept clean
he will not develop cradle cap, and
a little bit of oil rubbed on his
head after his shampoo will enable
his mother to shape the hair into
becoming ringlets.
If baby's hair is shaped every
day 1t is likely to fall naturally
into soft waves.
Do not attempt to clean the baby's
mouth. But when he is old enough
to handle spoon with any degree
of skill, which is usually when he
is year old, he may begin to learn
how to brush his teeth, night and
morning. Let him use little salt
and water. Clean, sparkling teeth
are not only a healthy possession,
they are very attractive ones as well

Gadgets to use for decorating
cakes have always been popular with
readers. Nothing is nicer for a
festive occasion than one of mas
homemade cakes with rosebuds or
writing across the top and around
the edge. The old-style sets were
made of metal. but they were no
more efficient than these nor half
as attractive.
The tubes are made of plastic
and are easy to keep clean. There
are six tubes and each is different
in size and design, allowing for the
various patterns of decorations. The
bag for holding the mixture is made
of a heavy durable fabric. The
article is not expensive and would
be nice to have on hand.

Instead Of facing fall with the
usual What can I buy?" your
question this year should be How
can I get by?" The smartest women
have always spent time and thought
on their wardrobes before they spent
money. Now when we've all been
asked to buy only what we need, it
Is not only practical but patriotic
to do a good job of plotting your

most convenient. They can be
blocked out easily when packing

Meal Excellent
Substitute for
Formal Call
Rv Emily Post

That visit of digestion Is far
more important than the leaving
of card answers the following:
When we moved here a year ago
family who we had met when
they visited neighbors of ours tele-
phoned us and invited us to a Sun
day night buffet supper. We went
and enjoyed the party very much
and met many friendly people. Or
dinarily / should now call on Mrs.
Blank who was the hostess, but
hardly know what to do since she,
the older resident, has never called
on me-"
To this the answer is that inviting
you to supper was much more
friendly-and therefore, important
than the formality Of leaving cards
on you. It is, therefore, much more
important that you repay her with
visit of digestion" or with a re-
turn invitation, than 1t would have
been to return call.
Dear Mrs. Post: What do YOU
think of the hand marking on nv
letter paper? 1 did it myself and
have had many compliments on how
well it looks. Is it permissible? I
print my name PEGGY on the let
ters going to my friends and I print
only our address when I'm writing
to people I don't know very we'll.
Answer-I'm sorry to say that the
writer of this letter did not write
me on her own hand-marked paper.
I have no idea, therefore, what the
effect of her paper may be. I know
an artist who lived long in China
who paints his initials much as the
Chinese paint their characters. He
uses Chinese red on thin, parch-
ment paper and his own handwriting
in very black. square-shaped let
ters, makes a general Chinese effect
that is quite chic. But only one
among many could do this. In other
words, it would have to be done
with style, as well as facility, to
look right. In no case, however,
could there be any objection to it.
Dear Mrs. Post: 1t seems to me
that you have stated that pardon
me" is in bad taste. Will you tell
me why 1t is in good taste to say
excuse me-?
Answer--This is one of those un-
answerable details of why usage has
little by little determined taste in
everything we do, but most par
ticularly everything we say. Moth
ing Is so arbitrary as the approval
and disapproval of words and their
pronunciation. There is long
chapter on this subject In my book
Etiquette" at the nearest public
library. The subject is much too
detailed to quote from, but it will
explain much Of the "why"-if you.
are interested.
Dear Mrs. Post: At an informal
dinner party should the host assist
in seating the lady at his right or
at his left? This is always confus-
ing to my husband, and I don't
know, so I can't tell him the right
thing to do.
Answer-Since the one on his
right is the guest Of honor, he
should give his first attention to her.
But If the one on his left is in
greater need of aid, then he should,
of course, look after her first.
Meanwhile, the supposedly first lady
may have quickly seated herself.
If she hasn't, he then helps her.
