Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have just
purchased piece of embroidery
which cost very little and since I
have laundered 1t I find it so ex-
quisite that I would like to know
something about it. 1t looks as If
it might have been a deep circular
founce on dress. 1t is COM
plete circle which must have been
cut from material at least go inches
wide. The material is the finest,
most fragile nainsook, as soft as
silk. The embroidery is running
vine of flowers, leaves and tendrils
and the edge has deep triple
scallop finished with handmade lace
2 inches deep. AS I found this,
badly soiled, in secondhand shop
and paid very little for it, I was
surprised at the beauty of the ma
terial and workmanship. Would you
have any idea where it was made
and when? L. NC.
Answer-There might be any
number OF answers to this question
which could be settled more neatly
If I had the piece at hand. The
material, the embroidery pattern
and the stitching, as we'll as the
lace, would all tell a story. But
the "sheerest nainsook," the hand
made lace and the flowing vine pat
tern make me think that it prob
ably came from France or Belgium
in the early 1900s. The circular
f1ounce with the lace edge could
have been part of a wedding cos
tune, either dress or petticoat, of
1902. Or 1t might have been made
in one Of the converts in this
country which are famous for their
exquisite needlework. New Orleans
and Savannah, as we'll as some OF
the Canadian converts, were sources
of most beautiful work at that time.

Dear Miss Nowell-Would you
please tell me in your column how
French doors should be treated? I
have been told that they should
not be curtained. Is this correct?
M.Y.D.
Answer-Unless your house is very
dark and you want every bit of light
to penetrate, there is no reason why
the French doors should not be
curtained. The usual way is to use
a very full sheer curtain, with rods
top and bottom, which is pulled
taut. Variation of this might be
the French sash curtain, which is a
curtain hung at breast height on
each door Above this at the top
of the door is another sash curtain.
The idea is that the top sash may

POTATO CAKES.
Here is a lovely potato dish worth
learning to do well: Select eight
potatoes of medium size, peel and
soak for two or three hours in cold
water. Then wipe dry and CRATE.
Wash the grated potato well in cold
running water and squeeze out the
juice. eThis washing is important
to insure whiteness) For each cup
full OF grated potato allow one egg,
yolks and whites separated. Mix
the beaten yolks with the potato,
to the mixture add one grated sour
apple and heaping tablespoonful
Of grated onion. For each cup of
potato also add about a level table
spoonful Of flour, a pinch of salt
and speck of pepper. Moisten
with enough milk to make a soft
mess and add couple of teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. Last Of all,
fold in the beaten whites of the
eggs.
Fry on a creased griddle, making
cakes about the size Of small pan
cakes, but bit thicker. Serve as
soon as fried-never heap up under
q covered dish as that will make
them soggy. Properly cooked and
served each cake is crispy on the
outside and creamy white in the
center. CAS- a separate luncheon

Health Is the vital background Of
the courage that helps to win i var.
Tired, aching. burning feet mean d
weary body and jagged nerves, which
is lessened vitality. In such a
condition your mind cannot func-
ton at its normal best.
The delicate bone structure of
your feet form an intricate pre-
cision pattern-strong enough to
carry the weight Of the body, but
as strong only as its weakest liga-
ment. Overexertion through excess
sive standing and walking tire and
weaken the ligaments and tendons.
Short stockings, ill-f1tting shoes,
high heels, all tend to distort the
feet in their growth and to hinder
their natural rhythmic movement.
AND callouses, corns and bunions
form.
The skin texture of your feet is
very different from that of the rest
of the body. This is especially true
Of the sole of the foot, where there
are naturally more horny skin lay
ers, because of the great pressure
of bearing the weight of the body.
Ordinary skin cream (although 1t
helps to. relieve burning and aching)
is not penetrating and effective
enough to achieve any curative re-
suits.
1t Is a safe bet to make that you
are wearing hose at least one-half
size too short for you Buy your
hose one size larger than the size
you think you should wear. One
half size will shrink in the first
washing, the other half size will
give your toes the freedom they
require. Shoes could be worn one
half size or size larger than what
you usually buy, even though you
go to the shop to be fitted. Do not
let vanity ruin your feet for life.

Are You Wakeful
At Night?
By DR.. J. B. Warren

Wakefulness, about or 3 o'clock
in the morning. is often caused by
eating too much fat or starch food
at the evening meal. The liver has
much to do with digestion of those
foods. and the discomfort and wake
fulness occur at the time the liver
Is working hardest-eight hours after
the food Is eaten. BY eating the
large meal at noon or cutting down
on fat and starch foods at the even
ing meal wakefulness is often pre-
vented.

Check Husbands
Careless Ways
In Beginning
By Emily Post

A wife writing me about husbands
exclaims, Bless EN- but they do get
into careless ways sometimes!
And then she asks specifically,
What do you think of husband
who takes of his hat quick as a
flash when a strange woman is pres
ent in an apartment house ele-
vator but insists he Is no more ex-
pected to take of his hat for his
wife than for himself alone?"
Frankly, I think this bad habit
had better be checked, especially If
he has shown other tendencies to
let down formalities when alone
with his family-(such as walking
around the house in his shirtsleeves
with suspenders showing and shaw
ing only when he goes out among
other people)-or you may soon
have to blame yourself for hav-
ing let the flower of manhood you
once married 60 to seed.
In answer to the elevator detail
a husband who is instinctively cour-
teous would certainly show the same
courtesy to his wife that he shows
to any other lady. In short. he
should enter the elevator of every
dwelling with his hat in hand,
whenever a lady is present. and the
category lady certainly includes his
wife.
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me
whether 1t is proper for a divorce
to continue to wear her wedding
ring as always and also her engage
ment ring If she prefers to?
AnsWer-She may do exactly what
she prefers. A former wife usually
prefers to substitute some other
plain ring for her wedding ring
and to wear her engagement ring on
her right hand. But there is no
rule which makes 1t improper for
her to do what she chooses.

The question Of anti-strike legis-

ground by the action last week of

Heretofore" Senator Byrd said,
the administration has opposed
antl-strike legislation, but no long
er can either the administration or
Congress tomporiza or compromise
this dangerous situation"
In June, l94l, Senator Byrd
forced a Senate vote on an amend

gress condemned strikes OF work

plants. The Senate adopted the

The House Judiciary Committee
now has several anti-strike bills be-

has been reported favcvably to the
House and for the consideration of

against an employer, but strike

pointed out that under Government
regulations no employer can in

Senator Byrd said. lis a strike di-
rectly against the Government"
What little influence an employ

argued, has been taken away from
him, because IN employer has been

ing striking employees and because
the employer no longer has a right
to adjust the wages Of his en-
