brtstles Of your hairbrush when that
valuable beauty aid is not in use.
Most women today don't give too
much thought to the possibilities
OF sachet, but, as you can see, they
are almost limitless. The same firm
which offers these hints goes even
further and presents their sachets
at reduced prices this month. So
II you're not familiar with this long
used grooming device, now's the
time to try 1t. You'll find 1t one
Of the better substitutes for sum-
mertime colognes.
Beauty experts have frequently
declared that comparatively few
women use the correct shade of face
powder. Most Of them choose too
light tone, while a great per-
centage select one color and wear
it with every costume. This latter
method is, according to a famous
beauty specialist, great mistake.
It Is pointed out that you can
wear just about any costume color
you like, If only you will select
face powder shade that is correct
with it. Scientific study reveals
that the color of your clothes casts
reflection on your skin, some SEEM
ing to add color, others to remove
it. Therefore, playing your powder
tones against the shade of your
costume is an art in itself and your
powder should be chosen to tone
down or high light the skin accord
Ing to the clothes you wear.
After countless tests with chemists
one well-known beauty firm has
come up with a selection of face
powders that, they declare, will
enable any woman to wear any
color. There are II shades in all,
ranging from those which add
warmth and life to the skin to those
which calm down pink toned COM
plexlon so that 1t looks fragile and
creamy. The whole idea is new and
different, and 1t definitely has merit.
Best idea, we think, would be to
consult trained representative,
telling her the costume colors you
wear or would like to wear, and let
her help You make this important
selection.
Since this seems to be "beat-the-
heat day" In the beauty depart
ment, 1t Is only fair to add a word
about the joys OF relaxation in a
soothing, scented bath. Those war
weary nerves will stop jumping If
you pamper yourself with a lazy,
luxurious tub filled with fragrant
bath salts. Among the best is a
new package of 8 slim cylinders Of
bath salts poised in gayly deco
rated container that can be used
even after the bath salts are gone.
The container Is white, gayly deco
rated with early American bluebirds
and roses. the same motifs repeated
on the sticks Of bath salts. After
the beauty products are used the
holder might be hung in the bath
room for paper guest towels, used
as a letter or stationery receiver on
a feminine desk, or put into the
kitchen as q convenient place for
recipes and shopping notes.

Of culture have improved greatly
as have methods of cleaning and
packing. 1t is seldom that we find
the spinach bathed in sand, now
adays, although 1t must Of course
be washed carefully. The easiest
method for this is to have two dish
pans ready and to wash the greens
in the first one under running water.
Then the spinach should be lifted
out of the first pan and put into
the other for a second washing.
The sand will remain In the bottom
of the pan as will not be the case

Spinach may be cooked with just

This is the best method for young
spinach. When 1t is older, it may
be cooked very quickly in plenty of

oxalic acid which the older leaves
contain. The first method is prefer

peaches (they must not be too ripe)
and scald them with boiling water.
Cover and let stand until the water
becomes cold. Repeat this scalding

In the past most women took
much less care Of their beauty tools
than their husbands did of their
rakes and hammers and saws.
In a pinch we would let the chill
dren use our nail scissors for cutting
out paper dools and we weren't too
upset when we found our son using
our tweezers for pulling out splinters
or mending a piece Of machinery.
If we lost nail file we simply sighed
and bought another.
Now these articles are virtually
of the market. If you know where
to obtain any you are lucky. would
suggest that you not only take ex-
ceptionally fine care of the ones you
have but that you also lock them up
with the family jewels and the war
bonds! You cannot afford to have
them lost by careless member of
the family or thrown of balance by
improper use.
These small accessories which are
50 essential to good grooming rust

is especially true at the spots Of
stress. Just a few drops every few
weeks will do the trick. All of these
small tools should be kept away from
steam, which increases rusting pos
sibility. For that reason the bath
room b not very good place for
them. Keep them in your dressing
table drawer, away from open taps.
Before we are through with this
war we will all be accustomed to
the old New England variety Of
thrift. We will have learned to take
care Of what we have and make it
last long time. Special care is
also essential If you expect your long
bristled hair brush to last for some
time. It should be kept meticulously
clean, Of course 1t should not be

radiator for drying. At this time Of

To be sure, there will be few new
patterns, but the simplest forms in
glass hav& always been the favor
ties. Now with fewer patterns avail
able we are still perfectly satisfied
with the graceful, unadorned Wa
terford designs which for nearly 200
years have been the choice in we'll
ordered homes.
Most brides today select q stem
ware pattern just as they choose
china and silver patterns, and there
is no more acceptable gift than 6 or
8 goblets of her chosen design. An
other popular way to give glass
ware is in one or more complete
place settings. This would include
matching goblet. sherbet, plate
and wine glass in a. modern Amer
lean pattern that may be added to
from time to time. Such glass with
its distinctive simplicity of line is
adaptable to any type Of decoration
the bride will have in her home.
If she dreams of an 18th century
home with cleaning mahogany,
shining damask and the formality
which goes with this setting, she
will find that the chaste design of
graceful stemware will be thoroughly
in keeping with the scene. If, when
the war is over, she does not wish to
fall heir to the family antiques, but
to start her home with the best Of
contemporary furniture and develop
a modern background she will be
just as pleased with the way her
glass possessions belong" Good
design is ageless. Decoration alone
dates things. From the beginning
of time human beings have re-
sponded to the correct combination
of straight lines and curves which
makes good design. For this reason
fine glass, beautifully designed, is
valuable for all time and in every
background.
In addition to stemware there are
countless designs in handmade glass
vases and bowls for gift giving. A
single piece Of cleaning crystal will
take its place right nov wherever
the bride happens to be. It might
be the one bright note in duration
quarters where she wishes to have
few of her possessions around her.
It might be pleasing possession to
enjoy while she packs her other
wedding gifts away until the day
she has a home of her own. A gift
of this sort is pleasure in all situa-
tions and becomes more precious as
it is used and enjoyed.
Many of the urnlike vases are
equally attractive on the dining
table, the living room mantel, or the
dressing table in the bedroom.
Footed goblets with their heavy
glass base may pinch hit for flower
vases successfully. Small crystal
boxes and other accessories are lovely
throughout the house, as are the
graceful decanters and water carafes
If you are not acquainted with the
outstanding developments in Ameri-
can glass in the last 10 years, enjoy
museum tour" through the shops
in town where fine glass is shown.
You will be amazed at the beauty
of the articles on display and your
immediate desire will be to possess
them or to give them as gifts.

In answer to Girl Friend" Be-
thesda, June 3, request for a recipe
for rocky road candy, I am happy
to pass on my method of making it.
A special kind Of chocolate which
is usually designated as Rocky Road
chocolate" must be obtained for best
results.
It is sold in large chunks for about
20 cents pound and is rather sweet.
The dime stores here used to carry
1t. The chocolate should be melted
In top of double boiler and when 1t
reaches the point where it can be
stirred smooth, marshmallows and
English walnuts Ito take up most of
the chocolate) should be added and
mixed in. This mixture is then
poured into a creased 8x8x2 pan
and sliced when cool into 1-inch-
long by 1L2-inch-high pieces. It Is
better to leave it unsliced If it is to
be mailed, as it dries out rapidly
after cutting
The only precaution necessary IS
not to get the chocolate too hot so
that the marshmallows melt. The
pan should be taken off the stove
before marshmallows and nuts are
added.

appreciated in our home.
