Dear Mrs. Post: Cd How shall the
birth OF my baby be announced since
I left my husband several months
ago and am securing divorce from
him? (2) What shall I do about my
rings? I'd discard them of course
If there was not going to be baby.
I'm still wearing them.
Answer-It is never necessary to
announce the birth of q baby to
people in general. Your nearest
family and friends who will of
course be interested should have
messages sent them by telephone if
near. by airmail If at a distance.
Telegraphed announcements are no
longer permitted and long distance
telephone messages are limited. (2)
Whether or not you wear your rings
Is entirely a matter Of your per-
sonal feelings. Nearly all Divorces
wear rings that look like wedding
and engagement rings. Sometimes
they are; sometimes they are sub

hiding Fault

By Josephine Lowman

Let us hope fervently that our
friends do this for us and that we
look at our friends from the same
slant. No friend Is perfect for he
is human. We miss much OF the
Joy of friendship If we pick our
friends to pieces and concentrate
on their faults rather than on their
virtues.
Yet! for some strange reason. We
seem to feel it is our prerogative
to find fault with those we love
and are close to. We impose on
affection in many ways, by being
critical, by making less effort to
please and amuse, by being at our
worst much Of the time.
We all love certain persons and
hardly know why. There may be
things about the person which we
do not like. We may not agree
with their ideas and yet We feel in
finitely happier after being with
them, we always have fun with them
and we feel q warm glow of salts.

always look at the one eye rather
than the profile?

experience OF misplaced friendship.

Canning Tomatoes
one teasnoonful of salt to each

Add one teaspoonful of salt to each
quart.
Seal the jar. II you are using
q metal disk with the rubber made
on" seal the jar completely at this
time. If you are using q lightning
type jar close the top clamp but
leave the side clamp up. Or, If you
have the screw type with jar rings,
tighten the band and then screw
it back quarter inch.
Put the jars into the Gamer with
water at least or 2 inches above
the tops of the Jars and keep the
water boiling for 10 minutes. Count
time from the moment the water
begins to boil. This is known as
the processing time and is neces-
sary to kill bacteria that would
cause food to spoil.
Process the tomatoes one minute
more for each thousand feet of ele-
walton above sea level For ex-
ample, at an elevation OF 1000 feet
process the tomatoes for IL minutes.
When processing time is up lift
the jars out with tongs II you have
them, or dip out some of the hot
water with a cup and then lift out
the jars. Completely seal jars that
were only partially sealed before
processing. Don't try to tighten
those that were completely sealed
before or you may loosen the seal
and let air into the Jar.
Place jars on cloth or paper away
from q draft to cool.
And there you have your to-
matoes, still bright red and neatly
packed against the winter ahead.
Don't use pressure Gamer for
tomatoes. The high temperature
of steam under pressure overcooks
tomatoes and robs them of their
fresh tart flavor and bright red
color.
And for you who have canned
summer upon summer one word
more: Be sure your canning tips
are up-to-date and then share your
experience with those who need it.

Approve Term
And Family
In Wartime
Bv Emily Post

Dear Mrs. Post: How do you sug-
gest writing the envelope Of a we'd
ding invitation when the inner en-
velope is not being used? Some of
my friends who sent out wedding
invitations before the war and paper
shortage addressed the mailing
envelope to Mr.. and Mrs. - the
father and mother and then listed
the others, also included, on the
second envelope under the parents
names.
Answer-It is permissible--at least
for the duration--to list the neces-
Sary names on the one envelope.
This way:
Mr.. and Mrs. John s. Brown.
Mr.. and Mrs. John s. Brown, jr,
Miss Mary Brown.
The probable reason why "and
family" has never been accepted by
people Of best taste, is that 1t is
too indefinite in its meaning. There
is always 4 doubt as to whether
the younger children or an older
married son and his wife or perhaps
= grandmother or an aunt are in
Guided in the invitation to the house
However. it is permissible to use
the phrase on the envelope Of an
invitation to the church alone, or
an announcement.
Dear Mrs. Post: If 1t were not
for the fact that so many Of our
relatives and friends are urging us
to have 4 celebration on our 50th
wedding anniversary, we would not
pay attention to it because of the
war and the fact that we have sew
eral grandsons overseas. But we are
going to ask friends as well as rela-
tives to come in the evening of the
anniversary. Shall we serve chicken
salad, little sandwiches and coffee,
candy. nuts and ice cream. or what
do you suggest instead? AS the an
niverssry happens to fall on one of
our daughters wedding anniver-
saries, could hers as we'll as Our own
be mentioned on the invitations?
Also, I'm taking for granted that it
will be suitable to invite almost a
hundred people on our visiting cards
Answer-Taking the last question
first: 1t is quite all right to write
invitations to as many as a hundred
persons on visiting cards. The menu

Leftover Coffee
As a Flavoring
For Dessert
By Edith NJ. Barber

How we welcome our increased
coffee ration! OF course, 1t Is an
acknowledgement that We are gain
ing control of our seas on the East
Coast and the Caribbean, and this
brings a brighter outlook. Then we
are selfishly glad to be able to lib
eralize our use Of coffee, especially
in iced form. Increased orders for
this beverage at restaurants is al
ways an indication that summer Is
really here. We also like it at home
with our evening meal.
While we shall not scorn an lced
glass Of leftover coffee at lunch. the
best is made fresh, and poured while
hot over iced cubes or chopped Ice.
This gives the beverage a sparkle
which cannot be obtained any other
way. OF course. we need stronger
extraction as melting Ice Will dilute
the flavor.
The most economical method Is to
fill glasses with ice and pour hot
coffee over them. Then, II you nave
any leftover beverage, you can put
it in the refrigerator and use it rs a
fiavoring tor dessert. We have begun
to appreciate the subtle flavor which
coffee gives to custards, and other
buildings, even more than we did
before we had to be careful OF It's
use. Not that we are not going to
be careful!
We will save every bit of leftover
coffee, and actually drain the pot
into a glass jar after each use to
allow leftovers to accumulate until
you nave enough Tor use IN oes-
sert for great treat.

you have its box, that is where 1t
should rest. If you store evening
bags with silver or gold threads or
surface, use black tissue to prevent
tarnish, and use q separate box.
Cleaning takes on new importance
too. White feathers can be cleaned
with white shoe polish, but you must
be careful not to rub hard enough
to take the finish of. Avoid cleaners
with an ether base. For natural
colored leather. use saddle soap.
These colors often darken from the
oil of your hands. You can prevent
this by waxing them lightly before
you use them.
Colored feathers are difncult to
clean, or to have cleaned. If you
get cleaning instructions with a bag,
follow them, otherwise try light
rubbing with art gum, not heavy
enough to remove the color. Suede
bags can be cleaned with rubber
sponge, or with q fine brush rather
than with wire brush, which Is
too harsh.
Patent leather requires special
care. Heat and cold are its enemies
and so you should warm 1t slightly
with your hands before you open a
new patent bag. Try to keep 1t out
of extreme heat or cold. Clean 1t
with patent cream. II you have
metal trim on bag, use silver
polish, taking care to keep it of the
leather. You can put coating Of
clear nail polish over 1t to keep IL
from furnishing easily.
Now that felt and fabric handbags
are an important part of the fashion
picture, we must learn to care for
them too. Garry as little as possible
in the fabrics, or they will "droop."
Clean them as you would a dress,
and turn them inside out and dust
the interior once in a while. Make
use of washable bags, so that you
may have one that is fresh at all
times. They are more important
now as decorative accessories than
ever, and so deserve your most
patient attention.

Ruth Millett former did as- sume the responsibility for bringing a child into the world after that world was at war-knowing full well he would likely have to fight.
 But how about looking at 1t from the baby's point of view? He's here even though he isn't pre-Pearl Harbor. Isn't he the one who mat ters?
 The only reason for leaving fathers at home as long as pos sible is for the welfare of the family, to keep from breaking up homes until it is absolutely neces- sary.
 Isn't home with a new baby in it just as important as home with a baby conceived before December 2, 194l?
 HAVE RIGHT TO BE BORN
 And as far as real need goes, doesn't the mother of a tiny baby need her husband with her more than dwoes the mother of baby who already has start?
 If America is trying not to draft its fathers until absolutely neces- sary because of the welfare of their children, why worry about when those children were conceived?
 Babies have right to be born even in wartime.
 So wouldn't it be fairer to the newest generation to treat them all alike as children-instead of making a distinction between those conceived before 8 certain date, and those conceived after it?
 That, at any rate, is the way it looks to woman.
