FOOD AND GOSSIP
The woman who would have
been hostess had there been an
afternoon of bridge instead of an
afternoon at the Red Cross could
take all the members home with
her for something to eat and the
necessary amount of gossip.
Worked out that way. the
women shouldn't be giving up too
much by foregoing their weekly
bridge games They would still
get to see each other. still have
their prizes. their rich food, and
even their gossip.
All they would miss would be
the bridge. And that-as any
woman who has ever belonged to
bridge club knows-is the least
important part of the afternoon.

also at the side toward the back
for the tuckng in.
The loose cushion is easy, and
the platform under the loose cush-
ion doesn't show. You may use
another fabric there if you haven't
enough of the slipcover material.
Pin it all together and fit it on;
then haste it and fit it; then insert
the welting and stitch. Leave the
left back seam open from a point
five inches below the top for the
snaps.
I have sometimes recommended
that the slipcover opening be
bound on both edges with a view
to sewing the cover together over
the chair If you don't want to
take the cover off very often. it is
easier to sew it on than to bother
with snaps.

Packing Materials
For War Fronts

Cellophane, wood pulp products
and other packing materials are
due to vanish from civilian use for
the duration and will be used in
stead to pack delicate equipment
for fighting men throughout the
world, according to an article ap-
pearing in this issue of Victory
magazine, published by the Office
of War Information.
Although intensive efforts are
being made to devise substitute.
containers and packaging of plas-
ties and wood-fiber. practically all
materials used In commercial
packaging will become scarce.
Only materials absolutely essen
tial to the sanitation and preser-
walton Of consumer goods will be
alloeated to civilian use.
Seeing that equipment reaches
American troops overseas in
prime condition is the job of the
packing and packaging section,
conservation branch, production
division. of the u. S. army services
of supply. A similar service
branch operates for the navy, in
cooperation with the army and
the various war agencies.
THE present transportation
hazards of our globe-encircling
supply lines are beyond anything
else previously experienced. either
in war or industry" an official
war department spokesman said.
Our ships must pass through
every imaginable weather condi-
ton. Severe temperature changes
are encountered. Condensation
is a great problem. The cor
rosive effects of salt-laden air
are encountered all over the globe,
and the drenching humidity of the
Jungle can be as much handicap
to an operation as the Axis powers.
The problem is a gigantic one,
and one that takes the concerted
effort of every paekaging engineer
and distribution expert IN our
land"
Proper packaging requires that
many materials until recently UNI
touched by the war effort mus
now go on the restricted list.
For example. airplane engines
automotive equipment. and ma
chine guns have to be packaged II
moisture-proof containers. These
containers may be pliofilm or Gel
lophane. The cellophane must bs

ing.
In addition. many types OF
equipment require grease-proof
paper wrappings and waterproof
fiber crates and the already criti-
cal shortage of wood and metal
products will be increased by the
growing need for paekaging wal
materials.

But the woman who does not

smoothing out bulge-needs spe-
cial corrective exercises. Routines
that are simple, rhythmic, suit
best. For to be effective. they
must be done regularly. correctly,

For instance. for too large hips,
the most common figure fault, this
is tested routine: Lie flat on the
floor. with arms straight down at
sides. Pull the knees up TO the
chest, without aid or assistance
from the arms, legs back to re-

real pull here is in the hips and
waistline.
And for slimming the waistline,
good twister is effective. Sit on

Naming New Son
Dear Mrs. Post: If we name
our young baby after his uncle
will he be John James Jones, End
or what If the child were named
for his living grandfather Samuel
Jones. what should follow his
name? I am told that you have
said a boy named for his grand
father is also a junior. In think
there must be a mistake about this
because l can't find anyone who
thinks junior after a boys name
means anything else than that he
is named for his father. Before
we make mistakes will you advise
me on these points?
Answer: Named for his uncle he
is End. If named for his grand
father there is some disagreement
of opinion as to whether he should
be called junior or second. In
the majority of cases that l per-
sonally have known, the grandson
has been called junior. This means
of course when there was no uncle
of that name and the grandson
alone carried on the name of the
grandfather. If the uncle is junior
the nephew who is also grandson
is Ord. II an uncle also had a
son, both grandsons would be 3rd

To keep a room from being mo-
notonous, there ought TO be at least
two points of contrast: one exists
already IN the red chair, and the
other could be achieved by using
drapery material tor something re-
lating to it, on a chair across the
room from the windows. Use your
favorite chair for this big import
ant shape. Being in contrast to the
wall color. it will show very clearly.
In a room too full of furniture,
il is my theory that as much of II
as possible should be the color OF
the wall: it is really camouflaging
whatever you don't want to en-
phasize, in order to achieve
greater sense of space.
When you start to make slip
covers. get material that is closely
woven, firm but not hardin
short, something that will wear,
but is easy To sew on. And be
sure to soak cotton fabric over
night If it isn't already preshrunk.
You had better by the welting
by the yard. IL comes IN every
conceivable color and is quite
cheap.
You will need from five TO six
yards of 50-inch material for an
average arm chair, eight for a
loyeseat and 10 or IL for a sofa.
Better get enough. You can al
ways use the scraps for patching
or pillows.
Begin your work with the east
est problem. In many cases It
will be an open arm chair with
space between the back and seat.
When you use welting in the
seams, always pin the cloth to the
chair wrong side up and always
do the outside back first.
For every seam in the slipeover,
allow two inches. Having pinned
the cloth carefully to the surface,
cut the goods and then remove It.
The inside back comes next, and
then the seat and the border.
In the open arm chair, the sides
of the back have To be left open
from the point where the arms
grow out of the back. And in the
border. you have to leave Sits
where the arms attach to the seat.
When all the material is cut,
pin the pieces together as they
should go and try the thing on
as you would a dress on a form
