Shopping around

A handsome what-not shelf does
wonders for the appearance of GER
tain types Of living rooms. They
are excellent for filling up wall
spaces and are ideal for holding
small figurines and miniatures. For
instance, in a regency or 18th CEN
tury style room you could use to
advantage a mahogany shelf with
mirror back and crystal columns.
This piece is very handsome and
not too expensive.
Slip covers for lamp shades
can be used for tho reasons.
One, as protectors for the shades
against dust, dirt and sun, and,
tlco, to hide faded, nnSightly
shades from observers. These
ccuers are nicely made OF MORE
material and come in rose and
iUory. They fit the shades loose
~ and are fastened by means OF
q neat draW string around the
top. They 1UiH fit almost any
size shade and are inexpensive.
A ruby decorated cut crystal liv-
ing room lamp is one of the smart
est seen recently. 1t gives the ef-
feet of two-tone lamp and its
accompanying shade is charming
The main part of the shade is made
of white silk material and it has two

How to Gain a Toeh0ld on Beauty

II there isn't already, there ought
to be an adage which says that a
woman is as pretty as her feet feel
Think that's far-fetched? Well,
think a minute. What do you look
like when your feet hurt?
II you don't know. we'll tell you.
Your brow is furrowed, more or less
hiding your eyes. Your eyes are dull
and lusterless because that's the way
you feel-and your mouth probably
has a tense, nervous line. Worse
than that, If your feet hurt, your
posture is bad, too. because you walk
in an unnatural way trying to favor
the aching soles. And that is no way
to be a glamour girl!
It's funny thing, too, that women
who spend many hours and dollars
on their faces often forget COM
pletely about their feet in their
beauty ritual Actually, getting
YOUR feet fit need cost nothing more
than few minutes each day. How
do your dogs" feel right now?
Chances are, not too good because
heat and hot weather are special
enemies of our feet. Days such as
we've been sweltering through are
days when your tootsies are apt to
hurt, when you always seem to have
too much foot for your shoes.
All right-what are you going to
90 about it? First thing to do when
you get home tonight is to soak
those tired toes, soak out the sore
ness. One of the prettiest girls we
know claims that every night when
she goes home from the office she

to build up the patched surface
again. Use tiny pen knife to re-
move the scorched lacquer. Be very
careful not to scrape or damage the
surface of the wood under the lac
quer. II the wood is scorched sand
it down very gently until you have
removed the discoloration.
After that it is necessary to build
up the patch to the height of the
surrounding surface with coat after
coat of lacquer. Use the colorless
type. Paint it in with a tiny water
color brush and try not to overlap
the edges of the patch. 1t will prob
ably take three or four applications.
and you must wait between each
one until the surface is perfectly dry.
On the last coat, when the patch is
flush with the table top you may
feather the edges out over the edge
of the patch about an eighth of an
inch with the lacquer. Then when it

be surprised If this little treatment
isn't the reason for this girls band
box beauty-and the reason she can
dance the night through after hard
day at the office.
Why don't you try that tonight
when you go home? See how much
better you-and your feet-will feel
Add foot-freshener for wonder
| full plusl There's fine cooling To-
| tion which you first chill in the re-
frigerator, then sprinkle on a pair
OF sox or peds. You slip on the sox,
stretch out for five minutes while
the sweet smelling Cool stuff does
its good work. A little of this and
you'll feel as if your feet had wings
wings that blow cool breezes, too.
If your feet are especially tender.
there's granulated foot soap you
might combine with the above treat
ment. After you have immersed
your tired feet in warm water,
sprinkle the granulated soap over
them and work the granules over
and under soles and toes until YOU
work up lather Then continue
as before with cold rinse, quick
dry and some cooling lotion-and
that's all there is to it.
You know, there's a great deal in
starting the day on the right foot,
too. After your morning shower,
pat your feet all over with cooling
lotion, then dust deodorant powder
over the soles and between the toes.
Step into your shoes and you'll feel
positively fleet-footed. When you
come home at night, slip off your
shoes Gas though we have to tell
you-most of the girls slip off their
shoes in the BUSH and give your
feet a beauty bath. If the day
has been especially hot, massage
your feet with mentholated foot
cream. Ummm-that sounds nice
and cool. Then follow as usual
with the lotion and deodorant pow
der dusting.
Here are few helpful hints on
how to outsmart Old Sol and keep
your feet in condition:
Change your shoes frequently and
dust them with deodorant powder.
II you have callouses, change your
style Of shoes-as you use your cou-
pons. Meanwhile, try to Danish the
hard spots this way. Dip a piece
of cotton in a cuticle remover and
paste it over the place with adhe-
sive. Leave as is for five minutes
4. then the foot bath-and then,
If what We hear is true. you gently
rub away the rough skin with
Turkish towel.

Round About the House

Il have strange little piece of
white china that looks like a min
iature gravy boat. 1t came to me
with some old china of my mothers.
1t seems to have no saucer and to be
too small for gravy or sauces and
the spout is long and curved. Would
you have any idea of the use of this
article ?"-Mrs. D. C..
Answer-It sounds to me like a
feeding cup or spout cup. Because
of its size it was probably used to
feed a small child Many of these
were in use for feeding invalids and
children before the day of nursing
bottles and glass feeding tubes. The
curve of the spout made it possible
to feed person in reclining posi-
ton.

Little Makeup
For Girls Not
Harmful
Bv Patricia Lindsay

Recently group of mothers
wrote asking me to print my truth
full opinion of what cosmetics their
young daughters should be allowed
to use, how they should wear their
hair to school, what styles were ap-
propriate and how much liberty
these young girls should be given.
The letter is too lengthy to reprint
but the gist of 1t is this: High school
girls seem to 60 in for the bizarre
and feel their mothers old fashioned
and mean If they attempt to re-
strain them at all.
This mother-and nd-daughter prob
lem is perennial one but because
of the war hysteria it takes on new
importance this year.
Girls in high school are like
sheep. There is choice of being
one of the flock or being a black
sheep. Usually, because of extreme
youth a high school girl is unsure
of herself, disregards the future,
lives for the day, and prefers to be
one of the flock.
Now that is all we'll and good If
the flock does not have leader
who practices extremely poor taste
in manners and dressing If she
does, the flock apes her poor taste
and the mothers in the community
have definite problem. Their only
alternative is to be firm with the
strong headed young daughters, and
temper their exaggerated leanings
which the leader of the flock en-
couraged. The daughters will re-
sent the restrictions Il did at that
age), but upon maturity they will
look back gratefully upon the sem
sible home influence.
Frankly, see no harm in the
silly style WITNESSES of the high
school girl. If she chooses to button
her sweater up her back instead of
the front, and likes to wear her
young brothers suit coat over her
own blouse and skirt, let her do it.
But when she attempts to wear
poorly fitting slacks to school with
high heels and dress her hair in the
exaggerated styles of the films, then
call halt. And be firm about it.
A mother must understand that
young girls yearn to look mature to
the male fledglings they see in class
rooms. or the boy who tends the
soda fountain or local gas station.
1t is a natural thing for them to
test their appeal-not only upon
the boys of the town but on other
girls and some adults. 1t is thrilling
to be a personality instead of an un-
important member of family!
And If a little ipstick and nail
polish and face powder, or bow
in the hair, aids the normal growth
of girl, let her have them.
But the girl must realize, or be
made to see through family influ-
ence, that the bizarre in dress or
manners will defeat her instead of
aid her. There is happy medium
which she can and should follow
she can look pretty, dress gaily, flirt
bit, and still do it all in good taste.
Tolerance should be practiced by
daughter and by mother. Mother
must understand that there are a
couple of foolish" years to get
through, and slightly slackened
rein with wary eye is not a bad
solution. But daughter should re-
alize that a diligent mother has ex-
perienced or witnessed certain mis-
takes which she would like daughter
to avoid, and advice kindly given
should be followed.

IT wish to use calico instead of
wallpaper under the dado of my
dining room. Can you advise me
on a method OF attaching fabric
to the wall?"-K. P.
Answer-Fabric Is attached to the
wall by the same method as wall
paper but 1t is a little more diff
cult to handle. 1t has tendency
to pull and wrinkle as soon as it
Is wet with paste. Cut your meas
ured strips just as you would wall
paper, leaving about three-quarters
Of an inch over in length to be
trimmed off when the fabric is in
place. Trim the selvedge off the
fabric with sharp shears, as this
Is usually slightly different in color
and will show on the finished wall
Cover the wall with thin coat
of wallpaper paste. Then quickly
spread thin coat Of paste on the
back of the fabric. Set it imme-
diately on the wall-start it with
straight edge just under the dado
and pat it with clean soft cloth
from the top edge down. Be very
careful not to pull the fabric or
to rub it. If wrinkles appear lift
it up and start all over again. Work
the air bubbles and the wrinkles
out from the top down. Pat it into
place until you are sure it is thor
oughly adhered over the whole sur
face. Then trim it off at the bot
tom.
Start the next strip the same,
overlapping the first strip so that
the design matches, or at least
one-quarter inch. Be sure to start
next to door frame or similar
vertical line SO that the strips will
be perfectly true in line. You will
find that after the first two strips
you will be more expert so start
in a place that is inconspicuous in
case you are not sure of results.

Don't Rob Child
OF Playmates

what you have it for"
Il want to play with Lonnie."
well, you can't. I don't want you
copying him. have bother enough
with your manners as it is. What do
you suppose I put that sandbox in
the yard for? And the swing, and
the punching bag, and the pool?
What do you suppose they are for?"
For me to play with. But I want
to play with Lonnie and you won't
let him come into my yard. l don't
want to play alone"
I'm sorry but you'll have TO put
up with it until nice boy comes
along Stay in your own yard, re-
member"
He stayed in his own yard, maybe
half an hour. Then Lonnie came out
and you-hoo-ed and through the
hedge he went. He was busily play
ing Indians there when mother
looked out and discovered him.
Come in here. At once. Such de-
liberate disobedience I've never met
with in all my life Now, young man.
you're going to stay in the house
where I can see you for the rest of
this DAY. And what's more, the next
time I find you in the neighbor's
yard, or anywhere else playing with
that boy, you're going to get a
spanking that you will remember"
Next day he got the spanking.
And he is likely to get one, or earn
one, every day. Children cannot
play alone. Their instinct is to go
with other children and that in
stinct is stronger than any grown
ups prohibition. When we have to
choose between an instructive drive
and obedience to law, the victory is
usually to the instructive drive. Chill
dren are more under the control of
their instincts than any other force.
Years of experience are necessary to
subdue instinct by reason. 1t is too
much to expect that little children
behave like venerable adults.
Playmates are essential to the
growth of children. Grown people,
no matter how much they desire it,
cannot be real in this role. Their
most earnest efforts are amateurish
and the child will have none of
them. Play is effortless and spon-
taneous and those qualities belong
to childhood, exclusively. Distrust
yourself when you hear your own
voice proclaiming that you are a
perfect pal for your child. You are
deceived and your child is being
cheated.
And what about the neighbor's S
child? Uusually he is just about
the equal of your own in intelligence
and initiative His manners are
those of his family, differing from
yours only in detail. This difference
interests your child. his difference
interests the neighbor's child, so they
get together happily. and supple
ment each other as we'll as stimulat-
ing each others mind.
Every child is a neighbor's child
to somebody. Together they make a
generation who are to live together
in some sort of cooperation. under
some scheme that offers mutual sat
isfaction. The best time for this
understanding comes in early child
hood. Don't worry about the neigh
boris child but keep teaching your
own so that the neighbor will in
dorse him as good enough for his
child to know.
