 When you ask her to your house don't say, "I'm having little party and I thought 1t might cheer you up" Instead say, T do hope you can come because the evening won't drag if you're around to liven things up."
 Tell her once in a while the nice things you heard someone else say about her.
 Kid her a little. She probably hasn't been leased or laughed at indulgently since her husband went away.
 SEEK HER OPINION
 Ask her advice once in a while. She is bound to have moments of feeling pretty helpless and made quate-and knowing that someone else thinks her judgment and her opinion are important is bound to give her new confidence in her. self.
 Never give her the idea that you feel sorry for her and that the req son you call her up often and try to see more of her now than in the past is because you think she is @ poor; lonely creature who needs cheering up. That will depress her more than if you just left her alone.

 The smooth, creamy texture of ice cream and the spicy ginger bread are as perfect together as the good old American favorite, apple pie and cheese. And now that we must budget carefully the use of all sugar, you will welcome Q des- sert that calls for such Q small amount.
 The ease and convenience of serving ice cream as @ regular food in your menus should appeal to every busy homemaker.

points. You had better brush up on mathematics and do the figuring out at home. Working out the ratios of money and point prices won't be easy.
 MORE ON POINTS
 Don't make the mistake of divid- ing your point allocation on Q basis of four wekS to month. This will come out even only in February, and in other months you will have to 90 without rationed food for three or four days. One way in which you might divide the 4e pqoints for March-is to divide the month in four spending periods, if you want to spread your purchases evenly. Make 12 points per person in your family last from March l through March 8; from March through March l6: from March 17 through March g, and March 24 through March 3i. This gives you three eight-day periods, except March 17 through 3, which includes only seven days.
 MEAT AND CHEESE
 Soon, approximately March IS. data on rationing of meat and cheese will be released. The OPA will then announce the point value of these protein foods and the date for actual rationing.
 There Is a good chance that ct that time OPA may also announce rationing of butter, but, of course, coupons used for butter won't be the same as those used for meat and cheese. They will all come out of Ration Book Two, but only foods that are interchangeable will have the same coupons.
 Canned goods which may be juggled to suit your menu use the same coupon, and cheese and meat, both proteinS, will also have inter changeable sets of coupons. But butter will have its own specified coupon, since butter can't be re- placed by other products.

Several women ask for the amounts used in the old fashioned homemade egg and lemon shampoo They are easy enough to remembe. one large fresh egg and one-ha teaspoon of strained lemon juice.
 If you're going to try 1t, you. need to take care about severt points other than the proportions.
 First, mix the ingredients. Droi the egg into 8 cup and whip 1, with fork. Then add the lemoi. jVice, mix, and put the cup within easy reach of the wash bowl.
 Just as important as the sham poo Is preliminary brushing, and a preliminary shampooing with Q reg ilar Nquid shampoo. You can make that also, if you wish, by boiling small chips of soap in water until the soap dissolves.
 Brush your hair vigorously for at least five minutes, removing every trace of dry-skin flakes from the scalp. Then give your hair one good soaping and Q thorough rtI1s- ing with tepid water. Hot water used now, or for' your final rinse. will cook the egg in your hair and spoil everything.
 Now pour on the whipped mix ture and massage into the scalp with thumb and fingertips for about five minutes, adding a few drops of tepid water whenever the mixture seems to be getting dry and stiff Rinse with @ hand spray until egg is completely out. If you haven't a spray, you will need at least four rinsings in the bowl. Don't forget to rinse with tepid water. If you possibly can, dry your hair in the sunshine, brushing it again before setting it.

Wartime is no time to pamper ourselves. In good weather and bad we have to keep going, doing the tasks that bring victory closer. If fatigue and exposure start the chillS running up and down your spine, there Is trouble ahead.
 Don't let nature take It's course and be laid up for days with a cold. Get busy the minute you arrive home to rid yourself of 1t. Take of your clothes and slip into Q warm bath or if you don't feel equal to the bath, then rub down your body briskly with 6 Turkish towel. Put on something loose and warm, being sure to have your legs and feet warm. Now all you need to make life look bright again will be @ hot drink or some hot food.
 What you eat depends on the time of day. If near mealtime, se- feet simple, nourishing, easily di- gested foods for the meal. If 1t is mid-afternoon or late in the eve- ming, a bowl of soup, a hot mo- lasses milkshake or some hot whole- grain cereal and milk, depending on how hungry you are, will be good. Follow up these suggestions with frequent glasses of water and fruit juice and cups of tea, increas- ing in this way your regular liquid intake. Then 90 to bed and get as much rest as you can.
