Shopping Around

A TAPE IN TIME SAVES NINE
It's about time now to go through
the linen closet, sort out the articles
that need mending and put our
minds on the job of getting it done
One of the very best ways of mend
ing worn spots in fine linen table
cloths and pillow cases is to hand
work lovely designs or monograms
over the spots, but If you're not
inclined to be an artist with the
needle you have to rule that method

There's neat, quick, strong way
Of reinforcing worn articles that
has proved to be a timesaver plus
Use a mending tape that you press
on with a hot iron instead of hav-
ing to use a needle and thread
This tape comes in small packages
for nominal cost and there Ii
enough included in each package
to mend a number of articles.
All you have to do is cut a piece

enough to cover the hole, then press

Decorating
Textbook

If you are one who thinks there
is magic and mystery in interior
decorating there is a new book,
just for you. 1t makes the whole
process reasonable and ineligible.
Any one, following the text, aided
by the articulate line drawings can
count on success.
This Is called DECORATING
FOR YOU" by Florence B. Ter
hume, published by M. Barrows &
Co., New York, and should be avail
able in Washington any aime now.
Mrs. Terhune knows you and your
problems. She has spent many a
year lecturing on decorating and
furnishing before large groups Of
women. She has also acted as ad-
wiser to store stylists and buyers, 80
she knows what the shops have to
offer to help you. She is also closely
attuned to the present moment,
knowing that all of us are trying to
make the most effective use OF the
things we possess, and trying to
CLEAN from the shops the few little
items that will make the old things
look new.
This book is adapted to any kind
of interior, from the "redone ga
rage quarters" to the sophisticated
town house. Florence Terhune has
based her book on the thousands of
questions women have asked her in
all parts of the country. 1t is a
book for today, and the years to
come, as 1t contains the essentials
and background of good home deco
rating. M. N.

Mind Your
Manners!

Wartime nerves breed bad man
ners, not necessarily from intent
but because we are tired, over
worked and worried. However
practicing good manners is more
important than ever in these trying
times and the reading public will
gain many pointers from the up
to-date book simply but appropri-
ately titled Courtesy" written by
Helen Sprackling and published by
M. Barrows g. Co., Inc.
Although the book is based on
etiquette, the author refers to it
as "a book of modern manners, and
behavior pattern for both men
and women who are not so much
aiming to show off their social ease
as to just live peacefully with each
other, their families, neighbors
friends and the rest of the COM
munity"
The changing times are bringing
into existence a great many new
standards and conditions of which
we have new awareness. This
book prepares us for this new way
of living which we shall see in
crease in the coming years.
You'll find Courtesy" full OF
helpful information for the young
housekeeper and of equal value to
the businesswoman living alone
College boys and girls, older people
and professional men will find in
teresting and informative matter
on everyday etiquette such as tele-
phone and radio manners, store
shopping courtesy and hints on
smoking and dating gracefully.
The author implies this book is
not one to be read from cover to
cover at one time, and we fully
agree, but it is an excellent source
of good, common sense information
and fine to keep handy as a refer
ence. D.B.

Dorothy Dix Says

It has been said that life is just 8
series of compromises and, if this is
true Of human relations in general
I often wonder why we SO seldom
introduce 1t into the family circle
Believe me, If we did, we would not
only find in 1t the answer to most
Of our domestic problems, but we
would make marriage peace parley
instead Of battle-ground and prac-
tically do away with divorce.
Outside of the home no one except
congenital idiot expects to be per-
petually yes-yesed and to have
every one drop all of their own
opinions, tastes, habits and prefer
ences and adopt his or hers, but in
the home only too often there is an
autocrat who arrogates to himself
or herself the right to boss the
whole show and with whom every
one must agree, or else there are
ructions.
Even the most egotistic and over
bearing of us do not expect to set
the pattern of others lives for them
for we'll we know that if we tried to
force Smith to become a vegetarian
because we happened not to like
meat, or to make Mrs. Smith give
up her clubs because we believed
that a woman's place was at home

Beauty Whispers

what has she got that havent?"
you may often have wondered as you
read Of some glamour queen who
managed to snare your secret
cinema passion. And one Of the
girls who has been most envied has
been Annabella--in private life Mrs.
Tyrone Power. He'd be so nice to
come home tod This dainty, deco
rative actress, who will open in the
Theater Guilds new comedy, "Ja-
cobowsky and the Colonel" at the
National on February %, has very
definite ideas on beauty you might
like to try on your local hero.
When asked what makeup secrets
she had to give her less fair sisters,
Evening star., 1944-02-22

we should soon be f1ocking by our
lonesome. Also, we know that any
business would end in bankruptcy
II each partner tried to run it in his
own particular way.
So we leave Smith to his thick
steaks and congratulate Mrs. Smith
upon being elected president of the
Higher Thought Association and the
business firm prospers because the
partners walk warily and keep off
OF each others toes.
But we use no such common sense
and appeasing tactics in dealing
with our domestic affairs. We run
our homes on the rule-or ruin
principle and if you will trace every
unhappy marriage to its source YOU
will practically always find that it
is the result of man and woman
getting together who refused to arbi-
trate their differences of opinion
Each is determined to make the
other a rubber stamp of himself or
herself.
Now, of course, it is impossible
for two people of different sexes,
with different backgrounds, with diff
fefrent teachings. with different
habits and tastes to agree on every
point. They are bound to see things
from different angles, and that is
probably what attracted them to
each other in the first place. But
as soon as they are married what
drew them together thrusts them
apart. Neither will concede the
right to an opinion to the other
and another marriage heads for the
rocks.
I get hundreds of pathetic letters
from husbands and wives who say
that they are married to good, kind,
upright men and women; that they
have fine children and lovely houses,
but that they are utterly miserable
because their homes are places of
strife In which they quarrel over
trif1es so continually that they sit
up In silence when they are to-
gether for fear of starting some
thing if they speak.
There is talk about revising the
marriage ceremony. If it is ever
done I hope they will put in a
clause about binding husbands and
wives to compromise their difficult
ties. If they do fewer will break
their VOW to cleave to each other
until death shall them part.

individual charm and look like your.
self rather than like type or poor
copy of somebody else. Instead Of
trying to paint on prettiness, shs
says, you'd do better to cultivate
your individual good points and
treat makeup as an accent rather
than a disguise.
The application of makeup is an
art, and here are a few OF the
artistic tricks Annabella tosses our
way. First, use rouge sparingly.
Don't try to achieve the rosy checked
look, but rather emphasize the
facial molding Of your face and
heighten the luster of your eyes.
When it comes to your bows, lay
that tweezer down, says this lovely
lady. She suggests that you leave
your eyebrows alone, except for
brushing each day-and especially
warns those who insist on tweezing
to avoid the high arched effects
that register perpetual surprise.
Apparently, naturalness is the new
beauty creed in Hollywood for one
of Hollywood's topnotch makeup
men also stresses the natural look
when talking on the subject Of
beauty. He says girl should always
aim to be as natural as possible and
to achieve this II was born this
way" look-he recommends using a
powder which either exactly matches
or is one shade lighter than the
complexion. Use plenty of lipstick,
says this first gentleman of the
grease paint, but go easy on the
rouge and don't use eye shadow or
mascara during the day, unless your
eyelashes are practically colorless.
There are a few more tricks for
putting on makeup that our Holly
wood pals didn't pass our way.
Rouge looks more natural If YOU
apply it before your powder and
let 1t fade out past the edges Of
where you want the color to show.
To avoid a powdered look, press your
powder on in small dabs all over
your face and neck and then dust of
the surplus. Powder your mouth
lightly, too, before you apply lip
stick, then allow the ipstick to set
for or 10 minutes and blot with
tissue. Then, another light going
over with the powder puff, slight
moistening of lips and you're set.
So will be your lipstick.
Leave your eye makeup for last.
For most of you little shine" is all
that is necessary in the daytime.
keeping in mind that it's the dewy
rather than gooey effect you want.
Always remember that good make
up, like lady, always Whispers
never shouts!

I want to thank the lady who
sent in the recipe for preparing
prunes in that unusual way. After
soaking prunes overnight in water
to cover she put them in covered
casserole after pouring off the wa
ter, and adding slice of lemon
she put them in an oven after the
heat was turned off and left them
there until oven-cooled. It effective

also found, by experimenting
that by putting prunes cooked that
way into the sirup left from picked
peaches one has picked prunes to
serve with cold meats. Since picked
peaches have had their points re-
moved and If one can find any in
the stores there is always the uues-
ton in thrifty housewives mind
as how best to utilize the sirup
which is left and this a very good
way to use it.
