II have no artistic ability at all
and my efforts, no matter how hard
I try, look amateurish." For these,
there is always DECOUPAGE.
In the Victorian era polite ladies
passed the hours cutting out flow-
ers, trees, birds and the like and
pasting them on paper to make
pictures. This art of cutout was
called "decoupage" and was as much
the rage then as autograph hunting
lis now. But today, polite ladies,
with no time to waste, are using
decoupage to decorate furniture. 1t
makes no difference now whether
you can draw a straight line or
WELD a paint brush. You can cut
out the efforts Of the great artists
and use them to make your furni-
ture more attractive.
For this job you will need good
pair of shears and a pair of sharp
manicure scissors. The curve of
these makes it possible to cut into
tight corners close to the design. A
piece of plate glass is help as a
solid area on which to place the
cutouts when you apply the glue.
One of those rubber rollers which
photographers use helps to roll the
cutout fiat. You will want some
No. 0000 sandpaper and a pot OF
good glue, a can of clear shellac
and some varnish.
If you wish to try your hand
first at the smaller pieces you may
prefer the decoupage IN the Vic
torian manner. These were COL
lection of birds, flowers and ferns
with an occasional human figure or
architectural detail. To qualify at
decoupage one must never fake"
by painting in a background. The
secret of success was to assemble
trees, hills, running stream,
powers, people and border all Of
cutouts, being very careful to keep
it all correct in scale and perSpec-
tive. Many of these scenes took
many a month to assemble and cut
before they were ready to be pasted
into place.
When you have collected your
material from seed catalogs, maga-
zines, old prints and the like make
a rough plan in pencil, on paper
the same size as the finished de-
sign. Lay your cutouts on this and
correct them for color spotting and
composition. Then glue them into
place, rolling them fiat with the
roller Do not superimpose one
layer of paper on another If the
design overlaps, snip off this Sec
ton with the manicure scissors so
that the surface of the finished
product will be all the same height.
When finished, give the surface
three coats of clear shellac, sand
ing gently between coats. Then
finish with two coats of clear var
nish. Though your task has not
been quick or easy, it has great ar
tistic merit and will be conversa-
ton starter whenever your friends
drop in.

70 the raVllng beauties VINO are sc
absorbed in admiring themselves
that they never notice that we have
our points also. Anyway, thank
haven, no woman has to be ugly
as Nature made her in these days
when there is q beauty shop around
the corner, and even a dumbbell can
count her ,calories.
Keep your weight down. Study
your lines and give thought to your
complexion and dress accordingly
Wear colors that compliment you
instead OF swear at you. Avoid
freaky hats and extreme styles as
you would the plague. Keep your
self looking clean and dainty and
feminine and you will be the sort
OF 9 girl that boys like to take out,
and hostesses keep on their invita-
tion lists.
Be adaptable. Learn how to do
things. Fit into any picture. Learn
how to dance and play good game
OF bridge. Eat what is set before
you. Join in the singing or what
ever else the others are doing. Help
make the party a go and you will
be kept in circulation.
Look as If you are alive. Moth
ing on earth is more depressing
than girl who sits up like stuffed
doll that doesn't even squeak when
you press it. Show some animation
when people are trying to enter
tain you. Gush over their babies
whether you are allergic to infants
or not. Admire their gardens, even
II you are running your best slippers
dragging around in the grass. And
when boys take you out, give them
a run for their money by being
enthusiastic over what a grand time
you are having.
Be a good listener. The short cut
to popularity is to lend every one
your ears instead of giving them
your tongue. Don't worry over not
being a brilliant conversationalist
nor quick on the trigger with
repartee. There is nothing you could
possibly say to any individual that
would be half as interesting to him
as the things he is dying to tell
you about himself. And all that
you need in order to get the repu-
tation Of being a fascinating COM
panion is to say: How wonderful!
Do tell me some more!"

LAUNDERING DIAPERS,
(Thunks to Mrs. r. X. L.,

AleL1ndrin
To the lady wanting to know
about boiling diapers-I have had
success in just boiling diapers to
whiten them. At each change
rinse the diaper out in clear water,
then wiring and place in an enamel
tub until wash day. I have four
dozen diapers and six water-proofed
fannelette pads about 12x14 which !
keep under baby to protect her
clothes and bed. This way the
diapers needn't be changed so often
and can 60 several days without
washing. wash three of the pads
each wash day and I hang the other
three by clothespins from the rod
on the bathinette and rotate them

ExTERMINATTNG ANTS

Thanks to Mrs. E. D. F., Arlington }
In answer to Miss G. E. C.'s in
quiry about ants, I would like to
tell her about how we got rid Of
some little black ants. We tried
several commercial bats, without
success, then, because they seemed
to like fresh bread, we put slices
out In the evening and burnt them
up IN the morning. After several
months, we had either exterminated
the ants or discouraged them to
the extent that the remainder left.
BY soaking some tape in a solution
of corrosive sublimate (mercury
chloride) and, after it Is dry, tying
pieces around the legs of the kitchen
table and cabinet, ants can be kept
out OF food. Care must be taken
to keep these pieces of furniture
away from the wall so that the
ants cannot bypass the tape.
CLEANING PARCHMENT SHADES
(Thdnks to Mrs. r. B. T.,
West Falls Church, Va.)
AS I never read your column be-
fore until February 9, do not
know what kind of lampshade your
reader wrote in about concerning
its cleaning.
I know nothing about cleaning
silk shades, but provided the shade
Is merely dirty and not broken
paste silver polish will make
parchment shade just like new.
II you dampen the rag, wiring
ALL the water out because YOU
don't want any water stopping over
the shade. Clean moderate area
at time and then wipe the polish
OIL at once while still damp, with
q clean, dry cloth. If the shade
Is very dirty, as mine was, you NAV
have to go over it two or three
times; you will be rewarded by a
new looking shade.
1t works best on the parchment
with high gloss finish. but it also
cleaned a dull pebble finish heavy
paper shade very successfully and
probably 1t should work on anv
heavy grade paper shade.
