inject little color into your shoe
wardrobe, you'll thank us for a
bright idea. There's fine canvas
paint that viii bring new life and
color into your old shoes. Yes, we
said paint" The newest trick
among the glamour contingent is to
paint their fabric shoes In colors to
match their dresses. There are 10
colors to choose from as well as
black and white, so you can mix
and match to your hearts content.
For example, If lack of navy blue
shoes has blighted your clothes life,
buy dark blue, mix little black and
presto! dark navy blue. White mixed
with bright green produces beau-
tiful turquoise that may be just the
color to highlight in one of your
summer prints. You can work this
color magic on any old canvas shoes
OR any cotton fabric that's tightly
woven. II you're courageous as well
as clever, you might try stripping q
pair Of shoes by using strips of
masking tape to cover parts of the
shoe and painting over the un-
masked part. No ordinary paint
this--because 1t will not stiffen the
fabric nor will 1t crack. Further,
It's sun-resistant land water-repel-
liant. Lest you're brooding about
your lack Of technique, be assured
that it applies easily and dries in an
hour or two.

Keeping House
By Margaref Noweli

During the tense "all out" days
ahead, each family's home, as a
place of refuge will be important.
This is the time when the art of
home making is doubly valuable.
Every woman who Is able to keep a
quiet, well-ordered house, q restful
place to come home to at the end
of the day, may feel herself an
essential cog in the wheel on the
battle of the homefront.
There is no general plan which
applies to each home. For every
family, the head Of the house must
consider what comes first. Two
points are essential; that each
member learn to be tolerant and to
do his or her share. In the days
when maids did most of the house,
work it was difficult to teach chill
dren to help. But they are quick
to sense real need, and will do
many a small time taking task for
the fun of sharing in the pleasures
which come when the job is done.
A working plan for the week
makes good structure to aim at, as
long as 1t is not too strict. A rainy
day may throw the laundry plans
awry, two days OF illness may change
the whole schedule, so that the
washing may have to be hung out
on Sunday morning, or the children
cook dinner while mother plays
sickroom nurse. 1t is not impor-

Emily Post
Advises

A question that at first thought
seems very trifling is perhaps not
so trifling after all. A bride wants
to know whether real flowers that
are to be worn by her bridesmaids
in place Of hats, are their expense
or her family's.
In answer to this the general rule
is, of course, that the bridesmaids
buy their own costumes-all but the
flowers they carry. If they wear hair
ornaments or artificial flowers in
stead of hats, they of course buy
these. But the flowers, whether
sheaves or bouquets to carry or COR
sage bouquets to wear or shoulder
sprays, are given them by the
brides family.
My comment, in addition to my
answer, Is that artificial flowers are
ever 80 much more satisfactory from
every angle Of effectiveness and
comfort. But these would be the
bridesmaids obligation. Real flow
ers, on the other hand, are certainly
part OF the general wedding order
at the florist.

Tips
Bv Evelyn Haves

CUM CUMMERBUND-A we'll
cut black skirt can be a summer
wardrobe in itself-and we've found
one that's a wonder of chic and
comfort. Made of sleek black rayon
jersey $50 cool to the touch, so easy
to keep, it has its very own cum
merbund attached. Cut so that the
fullness breaks from beneath the
cummerbund, its. lines are most
agreeable-the kind that don't tell
unkind things about girls figure.
However. If you're the type who Is
unabashedly plump-please don't
try to wear it. Simple enough for
day or evening, you can team 1t
with half dozen different blouses
and dazzle your public with the
variety of your wardrobe.
SPIC AND SPANDY-We love
striped blouses to punctuate dark
summer skirts. They look so fresh
and peppermint-cool. You'll like
one we found in seersucker stripes
because 1t has a fiattering draw
string neckline that can be worn
on or off the shoulders, depending
on the formality of the occasion.
You'll love the baby-puff sleeves
and the nice range of colors. Best
OF all you'll like it for it's blissfully
simple upkeep which involves moth
ing more than a sudsing and quick
once-over with the iron.

SHEER LOvELINESS-You don't
have to pay lot to look cool,
charming and we'll dressed. It's just
a question Of sticking to simple
lines and subtle colors. A case in
point-and one of the prettiest
dresses we've seen lately-is triple
sheer Bemherg in a smart little
wheel print. It looks dollars more
because the sheer is in q jacquard
weave, because the dress Is cut In
a simple shirtwaist style with casual
front fullness-the only trimming
a tiny frill round the neck and
down the front. In aqua, water
melon red, brown or violet, here's
a dress designed to win you many
a compliment.
FOR DAD ON HIS DAY-Just as
a handbag is always a good gift for
a woman, so a wallet Is q surefire
offering to the male of the species.
II the man for whom you're going
to buy q present on Fathers Day
or any other occasion-is in uni
form, he'll like one of saddle leather
with a removable pass case-and
place for your picture.
BRIGHT FOOTNOTES-If your
shoe situation is under control, skip
this. But If you-like almost every
body we mow-are trying how to

Dorothy Dix Says
CHICKEN TETRAZZINI?
Requested by Mrs. r. p. B.,

Why do husbands 50 seldom make
any effort to keep up their wives
morale? Apparently the average
husband thinks his wife is some
sort of an automatic domestic ma
chine that functions without any
human aid and that doesn't even
require to be fabricated by little
soft soap now and then. And may
be that is the reason that SO many
perfectly good marriages that should
have lasted for years and years
break down so soon and are thrown
on the scrap pile.
OF course, no man admits that he
regards his wife as household
gadget, but that is the way innu-
merable husbands treat the women
they marry. They think they have
done their full duty when they mar
ried their wives and assumed their
board and shopping tickets, and
that nothing more can reasonably
be expected of them. On the con-
trary, they expect their Marias to
go about beating upon the drum
and cymbals and chanting hymns
of thanksgiving to the men who
took them away from mahogany
desks and pay envelopes and
dumped them down in kitchens,
with cooking stoves and washing
machines to perform upon without
remuneration.
And when the wife instead of
lifting her voice in a merry roun-
delay only uses 1t to nag and whine
and complain, her husband is hon.
estly bewildered. He can't under
stand why the gay, entertaining
girl he married, who was always on
her tiptoes, has turned into this
sour, complaining trump who hasn't
even enough spunk to dress herself
Evening star., 1944-06-09

tant that tasks are not done as
scheduled. It is essential that they
be arranged with as little nervous
strain as possible. With each men,
ber of the family ready to step up
and lend a hand there is a sense of
comradeship and cooperation which
Is valuable lesson In living.
Give each child task in relation
to their ability to do it well and ac-
cording to the time they have avail
able. Make 1t a rule that these
chores should be done first, to set
the machinery of household In op-
Grafton so that every one will have
time for play. Sprinkle a few of
the pretty things among the less
interesting tasks. The same 7-year-
old that can dust the stair treads
IS equally capable of cutting the
flowers for the dinner table and ar
ranging them. The 1o-year-old who
can set the table for breakfast will
find little difficulty in making
lemonade and serving cookies in the
garden in the afternoon.
Though the woman who runs the
house carries the great weight of
the whole household, she would be
wise to expect her family to help
her carry the load. BY so doing
they will have a real reason to re-
member how much a pleasant home
may mean when the world outside Is
in turmoil.

the use in trying to be entertaining
and amusing for man who only
grunts when she speaks to him?
Inasmuch as all men know that
women are almost pathologically
susceptible to fattery and that they
value the spoken word more than
any deed, it is strange that hus-
bands do not realize that If they
want good wives and happy and
contented ones that they must make
the wife job attractive. They must
make it seem worthwhile. They
must make their wives feel that
they see, and appreciate, and are
grateful for all the work they do
and the sacrifices they make for
them,

up and keep the house clean. Still
less does he realize that his atti-
tude toward her is at the bottom
of the whole trouble.
Her morale has broken down un-
der lack of appreciation. Her hus-
band never makes a loyer-like
speech to her, or gives her a kiss
that isn't peck of duty on the
cheek, so her own love withers be-
cause it has nothing to feed on.
She slumps in her housekeeping
because she feels that there is no
sense in her making a burnt Offer
ing of herself over the kitchen stove
for man who never mentions the
food unless 1t Is to find fault with
it. And, she asks herself, what's

sprinkling. This done, she corked
up the jar and left it for three
weeks. After that time she took
the petals out and put various
spices with them, sprinkling In
dried orris root, allspice, lavender
leaves, cinnamon and nutmeg,
ground, and few drops of garanium
oil. All these ingredients, together
with the rose petals, she put back
in the jar, layer after layer. Then
the vase was corked up for six
weeks, after which time it was
ready to use.
That was II years ago, and this
little girl, now woman, has had
her rose jar all this time, adding to
it every year, until nearly every
fragrant flower has taken up its
abode in the potpourri.
Last season, when she plucked
her last rose of summer, dried it
and added it to the jar, she was
asked whether or not she would get
it full. I had never thought of
that she replied. I just like to
put into 1t all the fragrant petals
that I can. You know it reminds
me that my life is never complete.
I have to keep adding the sweet
petals patiently. Ny rose jar
brought me many friends, for it
seems to draw people to the house
and make them feel happy and low
ing. And it has taught me per-
sistence and faithfulness year after
year to responsibilities undertaken
and the power of sweet and
fragrant personality"

Two diametrically opposed
ideas on the part government
should play in postwar inter-
national big business are now
coming down he track toward
a head-on collision.
On the one hand is the old
fashioned idea that government
should have no part in business.
This view is supported TO a de-
gree by the Department Of jus
tice antitrust division theory
that any kind of an interna-
tional big business deal leading
towards a monopoly is wicked
per Sc, restraint of trade,
against public interest, and
therefore shouldn't be allowed.
On the other hand, there is the
European cartel idea that these
deals are okay. particularly if
the government benefits from
tnem or SnareS In them through
government subsidiary corpora
tons. European pre-war rubber
and tin cartels are examples.
The U. S. government has also
shared in similar ventures
through world wheat, coffee,
wool and cotton sterilization
agreements. Also, wart m e
monopolies are now exercised
by the government-owned Rub
pre- Reserve Company. Defense
Supplies Corporation, Commod-
ity Credit Corporation and SINH
lar international procurement
agencies. But they're all ter .po-
