pastel-toned fascinators. At least
at the rate these are selling it
would seem that surely every wom-
an in the country owns one of
each. But each of these items re-
quires special thought and a firm
conviction that It's appropriate for
you. Incidentally, we think that
the new crocheted snoods entwined
with colorful flowers are even more
fetching than fascinators and just
as useful to protect your locks.
Whichever you choose, though, be
sure to wear it only at the proper
time-in the evening, with your
leisure-hour clothes or other nom
business-hour attire.
And about those on-rationed
shoes that everybody has been buy
ing like mad. These, too, are fine
with casual clothes, but we can't
say that they look well with your
efficient daytime suits or dressy
afternoon frocks. Better concentrate
on spending your No. II coupon in
telligently instead. And don't be like
the bewildered ladies discovered by
one shoe firm which made a sur
vey. Among their customers was
woman who forgot her ration cou-
pom and asked the salesman to go
home and get it for her: another
picked out four pairs of shoes, paid
the salesman for them and handed
him one ration book, telling him
to take as many coupons as he
needed! Still third woman bought
shoes for the whole family and
handed over the coupon books in
perfect order. But she was amazed
to discover that cash as well as cou-
pons were needed She was under
the impression that the Government
was fairy godfather, and each No.
II entitled her to a pair of shoes
free!
Now, those are unusual cases, for
in most instances women have
studied the shoe rationing regula-
ton and have bought carefully of
what they need. Don't buy shoes in
a hurry these days-be sure that
they will go with your wardrobe,
that they look well and really fit
we'll.
Final find" of the day is a new
over-the- shoulder purse with a back
compartment just large enough to
hold your favorite digest magazine.
It's a neat idea for bus and streetcar
riders because your reading matter
can be slipped right into your purse.
However, the stylist in one store
thinks it would be just as good a
place to tuck in a fresh collar and

axe More Care
OF Your Nails
By Josephine Lowman

Don't drive 10 nails into the CONN
Of good grooming!
1T Is apparent that our nails re-
quire even greater care now that
our hands are subject to more stren-
uous tasks than dealing out the
bridge cards and writing thank-you
notes.
In winter weather and during the
performance of vigorous tasks, we
are likely to be victims Of hang
nail trouble. If the hangnail is ex-
treme you will have to clip it, but
the cuticle should not be cut as a
regular habit. However, it should
be given extra attention. Each
time you manicure your nails, push
the cuticle back from the nail
gently. 1t is also a good idea to
soak bits of cotton in oil and place
them over the cuticle for a time to
soften it before attempting to push
1t back. The habit of applying Gu
ticle oil to the cuticle each night be-
fore retiring will also bring big i'm
provement in the appearance OF
your nails.
We have become so accustomed to
bright nail polish that without it
we experience much the same "un-
dressed" feeling we do sars lip
stick. However, the d-fashioned
buffer is having a whirl now. Many
discriminating women prefer natu-
raj color and high polish for their
war tasks and save the brighter COL
ors for festive moments.
If you do not wish to revert to
the buffer you can apply clear,
colorless polish if you wish. 1t is
fine idea to put layer of this on
anyway underneath your brightly
colored polish, for it makes the lat.
ter last longer and go on smoother.
Shorter nails are now fashionable,
because almost every woman has
some task to perform which causes
extremely long nails to break. Ex-
ercises and hand cream also play
their part in hand beauty.
If you wish to have my exer-
cises for the hands send a Scent
stamped, self f-addressed envelope
with your request for them to

Among the interesting stories of
life in the Pacific during this global
war is one which comes from Mrs.
Harrington Littell, only recently
returned from Honolulu, where she.
as wife of the Episcopal Bishop of
the Hawaiian Islands, has made
her home for the last Is years. Mrs.
Littell's story Is packed with drama,
for she saw the "blitz" of December
at Pearl Harbor, and she spent
the first year of the war as q VOL
unteer worker doing everything
within her abilities to ease the load
of our boys who today make the
islands impregnable.
What is life like in Honolulu to-
day? Well, here are few "quickies''
reported by Mrs Littell which should
make all of us think twice before
we become querulous about point
rationing. Residents of Honolulu
today have no ration cards. Every
one shares whatever food is avail
able. The food that reaches them
must come from the United States
Of America mainland by Navy boats
and Army allotments.
There have been weeks at a
stretch when there was no meat,
butter nor citrus fruits. The ba-
mana supplies, as well as pineapples,
though native to the islands, are
limited. And next year, there may
be no bananas, since the growers
have not enough labor or materials
to work the banana plantations.
The school boys and girls on the
island now spend one day a week
working In the pineapple fields.
Every night sees a complete black
out, only recently was even cigarette
smoking on the streets at night per-
mitted. There are no social func-
tions in the usual sense of the word
few people are able to obtain serv-
ants. At all USO parties, or any
similar social functions, gas masks

Cosmetics
Used With
Tissues
By Patricia Lindsay

Tissue on your efficiency face! 1t
Is a quick method to save time and
cosmetics.
Use a foundation lotion or cream
as first step to long Lasting make
up. Powder holds longer and your
skin has a smoother finish. To
apply it quickly fold q tissue in
four, wiring it out OF cold water. Put
bit Of your foundation on fore
head, cheeks, chin and then use the
moistened tissue pad as spreader
The cream will smooth over your
face evenly, leaving just film as
the right beauty foundation.
If necessary blot your skin with a
dry tissue before powdering. Puff
on your face powder in gentle taps
starting on your forehead and work
ing across your face down to the
base Of your throat. Again use a
tissue. Crumple it and dust powder
grains from hairline, brows and
lashes and other powder-trap areas
such as the corners of the eyes and
nose and the crease of your chin
Then press the remaining powder
lightly into the foundation with the
tissue.
You are now ready to apply your
rosy cheeks. Rouge is being used
more these days to hide fatigue and
emotional strain but it is applied
cleverly and of natural rosy hue
no extremes are vogueish.
Lightly crumple face tissue, rub
1t across your dry rouge until you
get enough color and then apply it
to the cheeks with gentle strokes
Start below the pupil of your eye
and swing the color outward and
up toward your temple and down
toward the lobe of your ear.
You will find that this tissue
method blends your rouge better
than if you used the small puff
which comes with caked rouge and
no time is wasted in blending the
edges with your finger tips. The
tissue takes care of that job. Again
pat a little powder over your rouge
to make it even more natural ap-
pearing. Then. with steady hands,
paint on your lip color.
If you are especially anxious to
look crisp and fresh during your
working day hours. carry in your
handbag little bottle of mint-green
skin freshener and several pieces of
face tissue. For quick pickup of
la"oing energy or spirit, fold tissue
IN four, soak it in freshener and pat
over face, throat and wrists. This
takes only minute or two but it
refresheS for hours.

That 1t Is well to keep the old
motto Of, make haste slowly" In
mind In these days of sudden
changes, is illustrated by the pre-
dicament in which one Of my readers
nnds herself! She writes: please
tell me what I may do (if there is
anything). about having some of our
friends return household furnishings
to us which gave away to them
when I thought that we were giving
up housekeeping and when it would
have been cheaper to dispose of some
of our things than pay storage on
them. Now our plans are altered
and we need our things. But only
one friend has returned any of our
belongings"
Unhappily as it has turned out,
there is nothing you can do. Once
you have given a thing away, it is no
longer yours and you have no claim
upon 1t. If your friends ask you if
you would like to have them back,
which people of normally generous
impulses would do, then you could
perhaps say "yes." But you cannot
ask for them. Nor can you even hint
that you miss the things.
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you kindly
clear up the question OF the best
way to remove the dishes before
dessert is served? The serving dishes
are put right on the table and lef.
there for second servings. as we have
only the one maid and her chores
are many and she is slightly lame.
So we don't have her do more watt
ing on table than just remove things
when the time comes.
Answer: Since the table must be
completely cleared it, might be ex-
pedient df the room is big enough
to use serving wagon to let her
lift the used plates and the serving
dishes of onto that, and replace
the table with fresh plates. Cor
rectly she may take off Cor bring in)
two plates at a time, but she must
not stack the used ones nor "deal'
out the fresh dessert plates as
though they were cards.
Dear Mrs. Post: There are to be
about $50 guests at our daughters
wedding, which is going to be here
at home. I'm wondering since there
are to be so many guests if you
think I must receive? Or may I
stay with my daughter until she is
ready to come downstairs? I have
no relatives who could receive for
me.
Answer: 1t would be courteous, of
course, to greet your guests. On the
other hand, a house wedding is the
one exceptional occasion when the
brides mother is not required to
receive before the ceremony. The
ushers greet the guests (exactly as
in church, and find places for them
to stand. Your husband Cor an init
mate frien6 might be asked to greet
any guests who look "helpless" and
tell them an usher will show them
to place in a few moments. Or,
If many people arrive at once and
the room is crowded he might help
them to find places where they will
be able to see the bride.

1ct frequently CQc uTSC JlIQc an
individual experiences jealousy he
is no older than because many a
second baby appears on the scene
when the older child is about this
age. The individual who is guided
wisely during this period is not
nearly so likely to develop the habit
of jealousy as is he whose torment
goes untended. Since a greater or
lesser degree of the emotion is
inevitable, either due to the arrival
of a new baby or because of some
other equally understandable reason,
the wise parents task is not to
attempt the impossible and try to
remove it, but rather to lessen it.
Both the mother and father
should be tactful and take pains
to show as much attention to their
older child as ever before, particu-
larly in the presence of the baby.
1t Is possible to so successfully
handle the older child, first by
telling him of the expected arrival
of the baby, and second. by speak
ing always of the baby as "our"
baby, that he will regard the new
arrival as just as much his as
his mothers and fathers. Allow
the older child to help in caring for
the baby, any small task can be
colored to seem as a special, grown
up job. Tactful maneuvering of
this type will help build up the
older brothers or sisters pride in,
and feeling of possession of, the new
baby
One important reason why child
should not sleep in his parents
room is that if he does, and his
crib is moved out to make room for
the baby's, he will feel hurt and
enraged to watch his place literally
taken by another. He considers the
tiny baby as a being Infinitely in
ferior to himself, so when he sees
his position usurped his poor little
self-respect receives stunning
blow.
The older child should be re-
garded as being jealous of the new
baby even If he gives no sign of
the way he feels. I will tell you
why: many times the jealous feel
ing lies dormant, SO to speak, during
the first weeks, or even months, of
the baby's life. During this time the
first child thinks, Pooh! That little
old red-faced baby is nothing to
worry about" He does not, in other
words, consider him a worthy rival
He then exhibits condescending
friendliness or a curiosity that may
be mistaken for a kindly interest
toward the newcomer.
But If parents relax when theil
youngster behaves in this manner
they may be in for sorry awaken
ing. If the new child receives all
or most. of the attention, or wher
he developes into a gay and hand
some little person who wins praise
on his own rights, the neglected
child may suddenly reveal his hos.

stand the laws of cause and effect
they cannot be blamed for wishing
to harm another when they strike
him, for they do not know what
harm means. When a tot hits
his baby sister he is merely giving
vent to his hatred; he does not
know he can do her physical injury
Understanding so little, as they
do, it does not help a young child
or his actions to scold, moralize.
threaten, punish, plead, bribe and
so on. Such action only aggravates
the trouble. What the child wants
is reinsurance that he is still wanted
and loved, and he needs to be shown
through actions, not words.

Thrifty Ideas

Ho,v to Make That
Sunday Chicken
Go a Long Way
By Edith NJ. Barber

Some very thrifty and interesting
of this column recently. A reader
writes that she has been able to
make her Sunday roast chicken go
a long way by choosing a large
bird, which she stuffs as in roast
ing, then let's it simmer in the soup
kettle in water until it is tender.
Then she roasts the chicken in the
oven until brown, puts the soup in
the icebox and when cold she takes
off the fat, which she uses for
shortening, and still has big potful
of soup. The same reader supplies
a recipe for a vegetable soup which
she makes about twice week. 1t
demands no meat or bones, but
does take a few dried as we'll as
fresh vegetables.
Another housekeeper gives her
method of broiling a small piece of
meat or chops. Il take round
pie pan, set wire cake cooler in
1t. and put the meat on that, and
set the whole works in the broiler.
Then there's only the cake cooler
and pie pan to wash, and you lose
no juices-they collect in the pie
pan" BY the way, a very good onion
sauce for hamburg patties can be
made from the fat and juice which
drips from the pan. This extends
the meat flavor when portions are
small.
Another correspondent asks for a
recipe for French bread and rolls.
These are difficult to duplicate at
home because the oven is so differ
ent from that used by a baker
Water instead of milk is used in
the dough, and shortening is gen.
orally omitted. I have never been
able to produce a French type of
bread in a home oven that salts
fed me.
Another question is in regard to
the stimulating power of coffee "ex-
tenders" These are usually made
from chicory or malt, and contain
no caffein. They may be used in
proptroin of one tablespoon to two
tablespoons of coffee. The flavor
Is, of course, not like that of coffee
and no two are alike. Only expert
ence can lead you to decide which
one you like best and If you prefer
a stretched cup and third to one
cup OF real coffee.
