who is different. The one who is an
original model instead of a. repro
duction. The unpredictable woman
who keeps you on your tiptoes be-
cause you never know what she is
going to do or say next, And that is
why a girl makes mistake when
she tries to make herself a replica
Of all the other girls, instead of de-
veloping a line of her own. Even a
plain girl with personality can snap
Miss America
1T is a pity that girls can't be
made to see that there is no profit
for them in being copycats On the
contrary. it spells disaster for them,
because in throwing away their own
personality and trying to imitas se
some one else they fall between the
stools and are nothing.
I'VE see this illustrated every day
by girls who would be pretty If they
only considered their own noses and
legs and weight in their dressing,
instead of diking themselves out in

that call attention to their handy
legs, and plaids that make them
look like the fat girl in side show.
Girls also make fatal mistake
when they attempt to copycat the
technique of other girls, for when
they do they always bungle the job
Nothing sadder than to see quiet,
timid, gentle girl trying to be a cut
up and the life of the party. She
makes herself ridiculous. and the
observers very, very tired. Yet she
would be SO attractive if she kept to
the role in which nature cast her.
And even more pathetic is the big.
statuesque girl who tries to be cute
and kittenish and only succeeds in
looking like performing elephant.
So I said to my bobby-socker: BE
yourself. Don't do anything just be-
cause all the girls are doing it

KNITTED AFGHAN OR
BEDSPREAD.


fThdnkS to Mrs. r. p, Alexandria,
The afghan Cor bedsprea6 is
knitted in plain knitting. I regret
that I cannot tell you how many
balls of wool or string to buy but
if you make an afghan the wool
should be 3-ply Saxony type yarn,
and for a bedspread a No. l
cotton thread. The one I have is
square because we have a double
bed, but If you have single beds you
could make the spread longer and
narrower. 1t is made in squares and
for single bed would be squares
long and 6 squares wide. You will
need a pair of standard bone knit
ting needles No. and crochet
hook for the border.
DirectiOns-Cast on 3 stitches
with color A., knit stitch, increase
stitch in next stitch by knitting
in front and back of stitch, knit to
the end of the rows" Repeat between
IS until there are 10 ridges GO rows
there should be 81 stitches on the
needle. Break yarn and tie in color
B. Increase l stitch every row as
before until there are 6 ridges 12
rows (33 stitches on needle). Break
yarn and tie on color C. Increase /
stitch every row as before until
there are 10 ridges of this color (53
stitches ON needle) Break yarn and
tie on color D. Increase l stitch
every row as before until there are
Is ridges of D (83 stitches). Knit /
row without.
Increasing-Next row: ''Knit I,
knit 2 together, knit to the end of
row.. Repeat between as until
there are IS more ridges of D (54
stitches). Break yarn and tie on
color C. Repeat between ass until
there are 10 ridges of c (34 stitches
on the needle). Break yarn. tie on
B. Decrease l stitch every row as
before until there are ridges of B
90 stitches. Break thread, tie on
color A. Decrease stitch every row
as before until there are 3 stitches
on the needle. Bind off. Make At
more squares.
To finish it-WeaVe ends. Sew 4
squares together to form l large
square, matching stripes and sewing
each stripe with the corresponding
color. Sew these large squares to-
gether making bedSpread large
squares long and 3 wide. Work
row single crochet in each color
around entire bedspread but make
sure you use large enough crochet
hook, otherwise it will draw up the
spread.
I suggest that you buy a little
more of color B than of A, about
twice as much c as A and at least
times as much D as A. These pro-
portions are very inaccurate though.
The best way to find out how much
string you will need is to knit about
squares and see how much of each
color you have used. Then If. for ex-
ample, you have used ball OF D you
will need II more balls omake A
more squares.
I wish to thank all the people who
so kindly answered my query about
stained enamel pans.

BROILING FISH FILLETS.
SUGGESTIONS; QUERY
Thanks to Mrs. J. ~,
CheDy Chase, Md

To Mrs. L. B. S., Washington, in
answer to her request for right way
of broiIing fillets: Always be sure
to grease your broiler rack before
laying on the fish, so the fish will
not stick to pan when done Next,
dot fish with butter or margarine and
shake on some pepper and salt.
Place broiler pan in oven, not too
close to burner (about inches)
Turn on burner and be sure to leave
your oven door open about inches
or so. Never turn fish, When
brown remove from oven, as it will
dry out" if left stand any length
of time. I broil fish about once a
week or so and always have beauti-
ful results. my stove is an electric
one)
Household suggestions:
Have found that by cutting wax
paper to fit kitchen cabinet shelves
and placing it on top of clean COL
ored shelf paper that shelves are
more easily kept clean by wiping of
occasionally with dry cloth. Have
also found this helpful to use on
bathroom shelves where creams, To-
tions, etc, are kept and are bound
to spill over.
Now, will some one tell me the
proper way of melting cheese to use
over broccoli and other vegetables?
have tried again and again, but it
seems to be too thick to pour Of
course 1 cooked it slowly over hot
water, but it just wasn't right.

that I have learned quite a bit of
worth while information from your

Budget for Three" requested by
Mrs. j. j. R., Washington: Thrift,
economy and efficiency should be
the keynote in any household. You
should strive to save and bank or
invest all that you do not need to
spend wisely Do this not as a
miserly hoarder, but to provide for
you and your family's future needs,
to meet any emergency that may
arise in the future, to tide you over
as your own retirement fund or So
cial security in old age.
A person who knows better and
can do better, is foolish to spend all
his income to the limit A mar
ried couple should limit their family
size to fit their income; and of
course take their savings into con-

At about the same time four
cars and a truck were involved in
mixup on the inter city bridge
resulting in damage to the vehicles
but no bodily injury. The driver

-(Delayed)- (P) - A large
American occupation convoy
headed for Korea from Okinawa
today with troops of the Seventh
Amphibious Force under Vice
Adm. Daniel E. Barley prepar-
ed to 60 ashore in their familiar
combat style.
The general belief Is that
there will be no trouble and that
the Japanese will actually vel.
come the Americans as protec-
ton against the Koreans, who
for many years have smarted
under japanese rule.
The Americans are taking no
chances, however, and are main
tanning wartime vigilance even
as they head for the north CEN
tral coastal town OF Jlnsen.
Some reports received by this
force indicate that Koreans in
outlying districts have been at
lacking Japanese, and the Japa-
nese themselves have asked that
the Americans drop more leaf
lets to explain the surrender
set-up to the Koreans.
An Army Liaison party left
to lay the groundwork for the
occupation forces.
The chosen landing location Is
a town of 10000 population Is
miles west of the capital city of
Seoul (Keijo).

nounced that the Americans will
occupy the southern half of Ko-
rea, including the capital.
