Shopping Around. VI.

LIFE FOR YOUR FLOWERS
There Is q new compound which ex-
tends the life Of cut flowers from
three to five days longer than when
they are placed In vases with un-
treated water. Because this product
sterilizes, the water need not be
changed daily, nor the stems re-
clipped. IT'S said the powder kills
the bacteria that otherwise clog up
the stem channels. 1t Is excellent
flower nourishment and we're sure
you'll find that buds will open more
fully and to larger size than usual.
Mix the powder into the water ac-
cording to directions on the packet,
at the time the flowers are placed
in the vase. Then you can forget
the usual attention and just enjoy
the beauty and fragrance.
PATCH EN- UP-Window screens
are practically impossible to obtain
now, SO we must take extra care of
the ones we have. A good coat OF
screen paint will protect them
against the weather, thus helping to
eliminate rust. If you have a hole
in the screen, repair 1t with snap-on
patches that have tiny, patented
hooks which can be snapped on
without removing the screen from
the window. They leave no rough
edges and make an almost invisible
repair.

Dorothy Dix Says

Now If . wedding ring were .
passport to an earthly Elysium and
every married couple lived together
like cooling doves, 1t would be easy
to see why q woman thought she
must get . husband, even II she had
no compulsion, either emotional or
financial, to drive her into doing so.
But such being far from the case,
1t is hard to understand why intelli-
gent women do not feel that mar
riage is something they can take
or leave as they choose.
For not all women have matri-
monial complex. Just as many
women as men are celebate by ma
ture and would prefer to live their
lives untrammeled by domestic COM
plications. They earn good money.
They have set up their own homes
They are engaged in work in which
they have never-failing interest
And, above all, they have their own
latchkeys and tote their own pock-
etbooks and are free to come and
go and spend what they like, with
out giving an account to any one.
Yet millions Of these women who
don't want to marry do so just te
be a-marrying, and because they are
afraid that if they play safe they
may wish some day they had gam
bled. They lack the philosophy OF
the old maid who said she had q
chimney that smoked, parrot that
swore, and a cat that stayed out
nights, so she had never missed not
having a husband.
Funny things, women, any way yol
take EN-.

RAINWEAR FOR GLIDERS-So
your porch glider got a good soaking
the other night when We had that
cloudburst! Well. perhaps that will
decide you to secure q protective
raincoat for it. 1t covers the glider
completely and is made Of heavy
simulated leather. Can be secured
from one of the large stores and is
comparatively inexpensive.

GOING UP!-Have your own lad
der-dont borrow the lady's next
door! Here's one that can be used
four ways. AS small stepladder
(for use in kitchen to reach those
upper closets, a large stepladder,
an indoor scaffold TO use when
painting or washing down the CELL
ing and walls) and as an extension
ladder.
PAINLESS POLISHING-There's
new furniture polish you might
be interested in trying. The story
goes that 1t cleans as 1t polishes and
1t contains q newly discovered in
gredient that seals the luster in
without hard rubbing. The manu-
facturer claims 1t will eliminate
finger marks on furniture and If
used on window sills will waterproof
them from the rain. Sounds good,
and is worth trying, for If it works
satisfactorily you'll find it a great
time-saver.
Evening star., 1944-06-06

One Of the old superstitions con-
corning the feminine sex that dies
hardest Is the belief that every
woman IS crazy to marry and that,
no matter what else she has in life,
she feels that she is . poor, miser-
able, defrauded creature unless she
has . husband. This timeworn
theory does not take into considera-
ton the woman's temperament, or
taste, or occupation, or pocketbook,
or any of the things that make or
mar her happiness. Nor does Y lay
any stress on the eligibility Of the
husband. If he is an asset, fine
and dandy, but no matter what sort
of liability he Is, she Is supposed
to be thankful for whatever she gets
And the curious thing about this
fallacy is that so many women be-
lieve it themselves. They are sold
on the idea that If they have missed
wedding ring they have simply lost
out on life, and when they get along
toward 40 it throws them into the
filters and they pick up any crooked
stick Of a man they happen to run
across and marry him, and spend
the balance Of their days regret
ting 1t.
Thousands of women marry mer
with whom they do not even imag.
Inc themselves to be In love anc
with whom they have not single
thought or taste in common; mer
whom they know they will have te
support, just because they are vic
tins Of the delusion that wives are
happier than spinsters, no matter
what sort of man they drew in the
matrimonial lottery.

1t without fear Of your racketS
slipping-but we think that's car
rying things too far. It's good
hand-smoother, too made ours
so soft and supple we began to
think of ourself as helpless. Mainly
at the moment, It looks like pleas
ant anti-Sol stun to use.
The important thing is to use
something, Reckless burning can
be very serious-and expensive. Be
smart and learn your own sun
burning idiosyncracies. Test how
long you can stay In a hot sun
without painful burning--try 1t Is
or 20 minutes at time. You fair
ladies are susceptible all summer
long because there's less melanin
in your skin, it being the pigment
forming substance In the skin that
keeps epidermis from reddening.
Present in darker skins, it is the
reason your brunette friends may
often tan without even going
through q rosy stage.
In case you don't know, the ultra
violet rays are what make you burn.
In the mountains you'll burn faster
where you're closer to the sun and
the short invisible rays may cause
quick burn. You'll burn quickly,
too, at the beach where the effects
of the ultraviolet are doubled be-
cause they're reflected back at you
from the water. To make matters
worse. 1.-The salt at the shore dries
ouN your skin, leaving 1t sun-sus-
ceptible.
For all Of the above reasons, IL
you're going out specifically to ac-
quire a tan and intend to loll In
the sun, by all means protect your
self. Using preventative doesn't
mean you won't have q tan to
show for your trouble. Actually. a
good protective lotion hastens tan
ming because it enables a fair
skinned person to take that much
more sun. Get yourself one you can
be sure of. There's a fine amber
lotion containing tannic acid de-
rivative that Is reputedly one Of
the most effective sun screens de-
veloped. They say it acts as q
filter, blocking out the burning rays,
letting through only those that do
you the most good. We don't know
all about the filter angle. We do
know, though, that we have seen
people use the stuff and literally
bronze before our eyes. So--be
smart and mix sunshine with good
sense. When you're lolling In the
sun, use good sunburn preventa-
tive. 1t pays of in rich, golden
tan.

To the lady who requested direc-

would like to tell her how have
done over q few myself that have
come out beautifully.
The wood should be cleaned and
"scraped" with paint remover and
then sanded with medium and fine
sandpaper to remove the dark sur
face that old paint usually leaves or
the wood. Be sure and sand with
the grain of the wood, not across it
The next step is to wash the sur
face with a rag soaked in wood al
cohol only. This removes any resi-
due Of paint remover that would af-

alcohol, applied with q good sized
swab of cotton cloth. Saturate the
swab and apply in small areas at a
time, about a foot square, with a
light rubbing motion, wiping on the
excess Immediately to get an even
stain. For a lighter stain add more
alcohol. perhaps so per cent and 40
per cent shellac. For darker, 60 per
cent shellac. 40 per cent alcohol.
May add here that pine and other
soft woods will absorb the stain
much quicker and take" darker
than a hard wood such as maple or
oak. even though the same stain is
applied. A good rule to follow is
stain light; another coat can al
ways be added, whereas too dark
stain is difficult to remove.
After the stain is dry, the surface
is usually rough to the touch. Us
ing double 90 steel wool only, rub
gently with the grain Of the wood to
remove the "fuzz." Apply q coat Of
varnish, allow to dry. Even though
the surface feels smooth, rub again
gently with fine steel wool. then ap-
ply a second coat of varnish, again
the steel wool. Then q coat of heavy
wax applied with the palm Of the
hand. Butchers wax obtained at
hardware stores is the best, but a
good grade of paste wax will do.
Allow the wax to dry, polish with
rag.

sound like real task. but once you

over more and more things. Let us
