each student will receive an individ-
ual chart for her beauty operator to
follow. There will also be time de-
voted to exercise, home manicures
and even to wartime etiquette! Each
member Of the class will be advised
as to how best to dress, how to
makeover the clothes she has and
will be permitted to produce some
OF her wardrobe for Miss Sherman's
inspection and assistance.
Not only will these classes tell YOU
what to do. they'll even do it for
you. As well as instruction, students
will acquire eight beauty aids, in
Guiding creams, makeup, deodorant
and what-have-you. Moreover, a
professional haircut, shampoo, An
gerwave and makeup is tossed in
Tor good measure. And all this is
done on a non-budget-bust
basis so that Washington women
who know what it is to make a pay
check cover their expenses can have
the benefit of this expert advice.
This enterprise, which certainly
is a much-needed venture, is avail
able to any and all women. So, If
you're just a touch tired of hearing
about the career girls plight, and
would like something done about
your own status, this is well worth
looking into. And If you are Capt.
tai Kitty Foyle, remember that
competition is strong in Washing
ton. and the best jobs are likely to
go to the girls who are we'll groomed
and attractive. We don't discount
business ability, but we do know that
employers notice your appearance
and are likely to have more conf
dence In the girl who looks, as well
as acts, the part of an efficient en-
ploye.
Best of all, perhaps, is the fact
that Miss Sherman has had years
OF experience in helping women Sc
lect the proper clothes and cos
metlcs and wear them correctly.
But she Is not one to get stuffy
about 1t. For example, she tells the
story of demonstrating how to
change small hat with the addi-
tlon OF pinned-on flowers, attaching
a couple of pink roses to her own
calot. But Miss Sherman" asked
one of the girls in her class, aren't
they likely to fall OFF," Miss Sher-
man said, decisively. Absolutely
not" shaking her head to emphasize
the point. Whereupon both pink
roses flew off and landed in far
corners of the room.
All Of which seems to prove that
anything can happen and usually
does. You'll probably find that
learning to be well groomed can
also be entertaining, and in these
days OF making the most of every
thing it's almost a patriotic duty to
get full value out of the money you
spend for clothes and cosmetics.
Miss Sherman can show you how.

By Leffice Lee Street,

~ Lettuce Lee STREET.
The party was no fun at all! There
were fights and tears among the
guests, the hostess seemed indif-
ferent to the function which was in
honor of her birthday. Later her
mother discovered her upstairs con-
tentedly cutting out paper dolls
while below her out-of -hand guests
roared through the process of
breaking up the house and every
thing in it.
This mother was quite naturally
wild with rage when she found her
child because she had spent long,
firing hours preparing the fancy
cake and decorated foods, making
favors and setting the elaborate
table. "You ungrateful brat!" she
Missed, shaking her little girl to her
feet, "cdme down to your guests this
instant! This is the last time I'll
ever work my fingers to the bone
planning a party for you!"
The trouble here is that Susie's
mother has spoiled her so that she
cannot find fun in a party or any,
thing else. Her mother has, also,
the fuss-budget habit of going into a
fit about a party, scrubbing and
polishing the house for days ahead
as though the guests were coming to
inspect her housekeeping instead of
to forget such mundane matters
and enjoy themselves.
Susie does not enjoy a party CIV
en- for her because she is not al
lowed to take any part in the prepa-
rations. Her mother plainly shows
her that a little girls fingers are
too slow and unskillful for the work
involved in such dazzling prepara-
tions.
Contrast this sad situation with
the attitude of another mother who
also has a little girl, an only child
named Mary.
Mary's mother realizes the loneli-
ness of an only child, so her house
is a-chatter and a-clatter with small
guests from morn till night. Parties
are not the least unusual here, in
fact, almost anything is an excuse
for a party.
Marys mother, with a fine flip
OF the imagination, suggestion
thrown to the children over her
shoulder and hardly no effort on her
part, can whip together the best
party you care to see! Having but a
very moderate income, she cannot
afford expensive trappings, but she
does little things like pasting flower
stickers. on glasses of pink milk, "
placing pictures cut out Of old mag
azines under the childrens plates,
using paper plates and napkins of
gay shades, packing picnic suppers"
In boxes Ito be eaten at the table
or in the sitting room) or letting the
children play the game hunt for
your supper" and of course the sup
per is picnic box or basket. Hunts
are always great fun, whether they
take place indoors or out.
Best of all, Mary is learning that
there is no happiness to equal that
which we feel in planning for the
pleasure of others.
She may not write as neatly as her
mother, but her invitations, with
their wobbly crayon letters, mean
much more than expensive engraved
ones ever could. Her party dessert
of boiled custard with lady fingers
may not be as wonderful as a cake
all curlyques with flowers and rib
bons of icing made by a French
chef, and the cherries that Mary

Here Is the Ideal
Scale Of Figure
Proportions
By Patricia Lindsay

Down through the ages women
have worried about two things:
Should I slim a bit? Should 1 gain
more weight? And naturally. con-
nected with these concerns is the
other about figure measurements.
What are the ideal measurements
for me?"
Fortunately history changes the
ideal figure. Lily Langtry, the IA
nous stage beauty. was too buxom
for our present-day standard Of
beauty; and the too-slim girls of
the screen would be considered
"bony" by the Beau Brummels Of
our grandfather's day. In fact,
rumor has it that these girls are too
honey in the eyes Of our current
f1rst-rate artists.
Well, famous beauty authority
has taken up the challenge to de-
termine what is the ideal scale Of
figure proportions and here it is:
If you are large boned allow about
five pounds more in weight and as
much as an inch more in measure
ments. Deduct up to f1ye pounds
and subtract an inch If you have
small frame.

Rayon Data

Rayon is probably the most ver-
satile of all the textile fabrics. 1t
is designed for use in practically
everything we wear. In fact, rayon
could clothe us entirely. From hats
and turbans to shoes, dresses, coats,
suits, rainwear, lingerie, sleeping
things, handkerchiefs, children's
wear and mems wear. 1t is also de-
signed for use in our homes in many
products-curtains, draperies, up
holstery fabrics, rugs and even
tablecloths and napkins, and blank
cts blended with wool. Research to
develop special qualities in rayon
for use in towels, sheets and pillow
cases is now being carried on. Rayon
is designed for use in tire cords for
automobile and airplane tires. 1t
can be and is designed for such far
apart fields as luggage, bath mats,
optical lens wipers.

Seriously, here's the setup. Miss

Now, More Than
Ever, Eat All
Your Food
Etiquette Is for
And Not Against
This Request
Bp Emily Post

By Emily Post
In these days of food shortages
1t seems highly improbable to me
that anyone would have to be urged
to "eat his plate clean" Even il
1t were true that etiquette required
something to be left on the plate
for manners" it is not likely that
the dictates of etiquette would long
hold out against the dictates OF
appetite! However, at the request
of the War Department 1 am only
too willing to repeat what I have
several times before, tried to make
clear.
The saying "leave a piece for
manners" refers to the dish, or
platter, and NOT to ones own
plate! Manners" in this quotation
meaning a guest or older member
of ones family who might like to
eat few morsels more. The correct
lesson to teach a child is that every
morsel left on his plate is wasted,
because thrown away But that
food which is left in the dish or on
the platter can be put away in the
ice box or the larder and served
again.
Now, more than ever before. eti-
ouette is with-not against-eating
every last morsel, and drinking
every last drop.
Dear Mrs. Post: A short while
ago you wrote that mourning was
now counted according to the sea-
sons. At least you said correct
mourning for a man would be a
mourning band year Cor four
seasons for his wife and three
seasons for parent or child.
What in the world did you mean
by that?
Answer: I meant that merely
from the standpoint of what other
people are likely to think" the
changes of season are more easily
remembered-at least in Northern
or Temperate zones-than number
of months. From end of winter
through spring. summer and au-
tumn, to beginning of winter, COM
plete the year. (Which may be
less than ten months or slightly
over twelve) This is merely be-
cause we are likely to remember
1t was in cold weather that Mrs.
Jones died This may have been
December or February. When cold
and snow come again it is a second
year. This shortening of time Is
also true of summer. spring and
autumn. although they are more
accurately counted. Those who live
near the equator would Of course
count by calendar.
Dear Mrs Post: May two people.
both widowed. who are In their
sixties. announce their intention to
marry? There is no reason so far
as they or their families are con-
cerned. why they should make a
secret of 1t or 60 off to some distant
place to have the ceremony per-
formed. But what is in keeping
with good taste at their ages?
Answer: Older people do not
usually make an announcement 6f
their engagement except by telling
their families and very intimate
friends shortly beforehand, and
perhaps inviting these to be present
in church or at the brides house or
wherever the ceremony is to take
place. The news is sent to the
society editor of the paper as soon
as the service has been performed.

Homenakers' Queries
Closely Woven Material That Will Hold Its Shape
And Not Wrinkle Easily Is Best for Slip Covers

Dear Miss Nowell-Can you tell
me what material is best for slip
covers? I have found three pieces
thatI like very much. One is a
tightly woven striped cotton which
is almost as stiff as canvas. The
other is a floral pattern on a soft,
rough-textured material which gives
the pattern a smoky appearance (be-
cause Of the deep nap) and is very
attractive. The other is q glazed
chintz. I like all of these patterns

For Luncheon

The luncheon sandwich is back in
favor again. Warm spring days de-
mand lighter food. Young folk rae

water cress furnish that much
relished contrast in texture.

Procedure

The Turkish bath consists of about
5 or 6 minutes in the steamroom. 10
to Is minutes in the adjoining hot
room, vigorous rubbing bv the mas
seur with hot water poured over the

as . bedroom chair, heavy duty
material will not be necessary. Tho
material should be closely woven 20
that 1t will hold its shape. It should
not be rough enough on the surface
so that it catches and threads are
pulled and it should be material that
does not wrinkle badly and. have to
be pressed constantly.
Dear Miss Nowell-1 have built
recreation room of knotty pine and
have listened to all my friends who
wish to tell me how the wood should
be finished. I favor glossy finish.
but fear that waxing the wood often,
If this is necessary, would be lot
Of trouble. I plan on using half
linseed oil and half turpentine first,
then a coat Of clear shellac, then .
coat Of varnish. Is this all right? ,
L. c.
Answer--Many prefer the dull
finish of half and half linseed oil and
turpentine, but If glossy finish is
desired coat the wood with half and
half mixture of clear shellac and
wood alcohol and finish with a good
quality quick-drying varnish. The
linseed and turpentine mixture Is
not necessary when the wood Is to be
vanished.
Dear Miss Nowell-I have q mod
ern log cabin but need to further in
sulate the walls. What would you
suggest for chinking them? Would
plaster be effective inside the house
between the logs? GRE.
Answer-Chinking depends as
much on the method as it does on
material and upon the width of the
spaces to be chinked. Drive large
headed nails into the logs along the
spaces, around which the chinking
can harden and lock itself in. Wide
spaces should be packed at the bot
tom with oakum. Excellent chink-
ing is made of one part cement,
three parts coarse sand and one part
hydrated lime mixed with water to
a stiff paste.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: One of the CELL
ings in my old house was white
washed some time ago 1t Is
blotched and looks terrible when
papered, and have tried In vain to
remove the whitewash. Is there
anything can do other than having
it replastered?-P. D. S.
Answer-if there is paper on 1t,
| that must come off before you do
anything else to the ceiling. The
least messy way Is to spray warm
water on the ceiling with sprayer.
Protect the floor against damage by
water. After scraping off the paper
what remains of the whitewash
should be scrubbed off with hot
water and little household am
monia followed by clear water.
When dry, smooth the surface OF
the plaster by rubbing with sand
paper and wipe off the dust Finish
with calsomine or one of the cold
water paints. Wall cloth makes a
good finish for ceiling also. When
applying wall cloth or wall paper
always give the walls coat of sizing
first.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: What causes
all the mirrors in our house to be-
come cloudy and spotted2 Is 1t
from dryness or dampness? How
can they be restored?-F. S.
Answer-Dampness of the house
air has probably worked through to
the silvering on the backs or around
the edges Of the framework. A
dealer in plate glass can advise you
and probably arrange to have the
mirrors refinished.
