SOFT AS A KITTENS EAR
Before storing your sweaters for the
summer season give them a good
washing in a special solution that
will leave the garments soft as well
as clean. You'll find this liquid
equally fine for laundering blankets,
socks and any other woolen articles.
The directions say to place one
tablespoon Of the liquid in a basin,
then turn on the cold water with
full force, in order to attain a
foam. You squeeze the solution
through the garment, do not rub,
then rinse In clear water. Detailed
instructions are on each package
and we would advise you to follow
them implicitly.

Dorothy Dix Says

II wives were ever too trusting and
easily deceived by their husbands
they have swung to the opposite ex-
treme and are overly suspicious and
filled with dire forebodings in these
days when the war has parted SO
many couples. Apparently almost
every temporary war widow has
turned into Doubling Thomasina
who pictures her husband as having
scrapped his marriage vows when he
went into the Army and turned into
a Don Juan, or as having been kid
mapped by a USO hostess, or a can
teen worker, or some pretty girl who
considers it her patriotic duty to
f1irt with other women's husbands.
And the husbands past record and
present performances seem to have
no effect in allaying these fears. He
may have been so tightly tied to his
wife's apron strings that he never
wandered from his own fireplace.
He may never have looked at any
other woman that his own Maria.
He may spend all of his time in
camp writing her letters telling her
how he loves her and how lonesome
he Is without her, and how he is
looking forward to returning to her.
1t doesn't keep her from being
green-eyed and from weeping into
her pillow at night wondering II he
has fallen in love with some girl who
Is younger and simmer than she is.
And what will she and her poor
children do? Boo-hoo, boo-hoo.
Now the lot of the average wife
whose routine of life has been
smashed into smithereens by the
war is hard enough at best. Only
too often her home is broken up

Observation-Disclosures

Wish you knew of a point -econom-
icai company dish for four to six
people?
Here's a Middle American recipe
that ekes out the meat beautifully
with most delectable sherry fla
vored sauce full of almonds and
raisins. The citron is delightful, but
by no means essential, so if you
can't find any in the stores it can
be omitted without danger of spoil
ing the dish. Serve the meat whole
for four-and use leftovers for next
days lunch, or slice it all up and
serve it right in the sauce If therell
be six at the table.
Boiled rice and spinach, or peas,
are ideal accompaniments, and, of
course, in Middle America fried
bananas would certainly be used,
both as vegetable and a garnish!
Middle American cookery is a
grand source of inspiration. The
emphasis has always been on top-of-
the-stove dishes, using tasty sauces
and colorful vegetable combinations
rather than on large servings OF
plain broiled or roasted meats, and
this Is just the kind of recipe we
need these days.

and she has to 60 to live with rela-
tives who don't want her and the
kids, or she has to crowd in with
strangers and put up with their
peculiarities. She has less money
to live on and living costs more.
And, worst Of all, she Is parted from
the man she loves and on whose
strength she leaned. And she is
lonesome and bored and she can't
go around and amuse herself with
out getting talked about.
Heaven knows she has trouble
enough without going out of her
way to borrow any more. That is
what makes it so tragical for her
to torture herself with needless
jealousy. Yet thousands upon thou
sands of these poor souls add to
their sorrows by morbidly brooding
over the possibility that their hus-
bands may not be faithful to them
and seeing themselves as forlorn,
deserted wives.
And in vain you try to comfort
them. Their reply is 'It has hap
pened to other women and it may
happen to me-" Nor does 1t cheer
them up to tell them that it also
happens to most wives to get their
husbands back from the war safe
and sound and without any amorous
complications. For the number of
philandering husbands is compara-
lively small and the danger from
predatory females is far less on the
battle front than 1t is in any Office
at home.
So I urge these wives to put away
their foolish fears about their hus-
bands loyalty and believe in them,
Love without faith is not worth
having.

Brush Up. on Beauty

II we were asked what Is the one
common denominator Of beauty, our
answer would be beautiful hair. II
you ever stopped to think of it, you'd
realize that all the glamour gals have
glorious locks. Alice. Faye, for ex-
ample, has a face that's too full: Ann
Sheridan's nose is far from classic,
Joan Crawford's mouth is too big for
beauty. But all three cinema queens
have hair that is truly a crowning
glory. 1t may be that the women
who live by their looks are smart
enough to know that the beauty Of
lustrous shining hair overcomes q
multitude of other beauty sins.
OF primary Importance to the
looks of your hair is its health and
condition. For your hair to be
healthy and shining, your scalp must
be immaculate and walked up-and
YOU must be willing to work on it.
Unlike Topsy, beautiful hair won't
just grow; it has to be cared for and
coaxed into beauty. And the No.
beauty coaxer Is a good brush. In
fact, a famous model once said to
us, IF I were stranded on desert
island and could have only one
thing, I'd pray for good hairbrush. ;"
Most OF us would probably ask for
a lipstick, but this gal said she'd
choose q brush because she knew
that by brushing her hair she'd not
only polish her tresses, but work up
her circulation and so improve her
skin and put rosy glow in her
cheeks to charm any handsome
rescuer. You may never be shang-
haied. but brushing is good every
day rule for beauty. Too many wom-
en-, we fear, take the words "hair
set" literally and allow their hair
just to set as is between trips to
