CIGARETTE LIGHTERS were
practically impossible to obtain dur
ing the war. Perhaps for this rea-
son more people want one than ever
before, at least, it seems that way
from the remarks of our friends.
They can now be secured for almost
any price one wants to pay. but for
an inexpensive type how about look
ing into a small, neat block alu-
minum lighter? This Is precision
made, very light in weight, can be
operated with one hand and Is small
enough to be carried in a vest pocket
or tiny purse. 1t is sturdy and is
patterned after one Of the most
expensive lighters on the market.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am 10 years
old and have twin boys, l year old
My husband is in the service and
he has written me that he no longer
loves me and doesn't ever want to
see me again. At first I was heart
broken and kept writing to him
faithfully, but after a while I be-
came reconciled.
Now have fallen deeply in love
with man who is considerably older
than am. I fully expected him
to propose, but have just found out
that he is married. He is going to
South America in the near future
| and wants me to go with him.
Should do so, hoping something
will turn up that will make his wife
give him divorce, which she re-
fuses to do now? Neither he nor
can stand to be separated from
each other. PEGGY.
Answer-f at l9 you have had
two experiences of the perfidy of
man and they have taught you
nothing, your case is hopeless. You
are evidently one of the women
who are SO optimistic they lend a
listening ear to any philanderer and
believe the lying promises of any
glib talker.
You must be singularly lacking in
even ordinary common sense and
prudence if having your husband
quit you cold, with twins left on
your hands, didn't make you suspi-

When people have to live close to-
gether, they have to consider each
others feelings, needs, and even
habits or the whole group will suf-
fer. Children have to play and when
they play they make noise. That is
to be expected. But their noises,
their behavior, their general way of
life must be fitted into the general
scheme of the neighbors or nobody
will get any joy of living.
In apartments where walls are
thin, in double houses where FAM
lilies live side by side sharing lawns,
backyards and porches, it is neces-
sary for the adults to get together,
and form some arrangement where
by the children can have their free
dom for part of the day and the
grown people can have an hour or so
Of peace.
Mothers and fathers are hard
working people and they must have
a quiet hour or so at the end Of the
day. They must be assured of quiet
sometime during the day also. This
can be arranged even in crowded
quarters when the parents, usually
the mothers, take hold and organ
ize the hours Of the day so that work
can be done, so that children can
play healthily and mothers can be
sure of quiet hour.
There is no excuse for the mother
who allows her children to run wild
shouting, banging doors, calling in
cessantly for Mo-oth-er until every

body within sight and sound is ready
to scream in protest. That is no way
to rear children. 1t makes them
jumpy, irritable and restless. 1t costs
both parents and children the good
will of the neighbors and that is
very expensive loss. Nobody, child
or adult, can afford to cultivate
habits that arouse the antagoniSm
of their neighbors.
When mothers take turns at
watching playing children, each TAX
ing a days duty of an hour or SO,
the other mothers can catch up with
their work and be at peace and that
allows a quiet evening when father
needs rest. When children are al
lowed to play out their energy they
are ready to play quietly in the
house at the close Of the day. No
child and no adult can be happy,
healthy or even good d-natured in the
midst of noisy, confused pull and
push sort of life.
us is dependent upon his neighbor
for peace and quiet, for help, for
goodwill, all Of which are essential
to successful living in any neigh
borhood. Selfish neighbors are a
grave hindrance to good living, not
only to themselves, but to everybody
about them. Children have rights,
but If grownup folks rights are not
considered where do the children
come In?

cious of the next man who handed
you out little soft talk. But eV-
IDENTIFY, 1t didn't, for you fall for
the next Casanova without even in
quiring whether he already has a
wife or not.
No doubt, advice to you is just
wasted breath, but do at least try
to wake up and face the realities
of life. You must know that any
married man who tries to induce
you to go with him to a foreign
country without marriage bodies you
no good. You must know that he
has no intention whatever of marry
ing you, and that when he is tired
of you he will throw you aside for
some newer fancy. You must know
that the end of your little romance
will be disgrace and want and the
gutter.
If you have no care for yourself,
consider the twins. It is bad enough
for them to have renegade father
without a loose living mother

Distinctive
Dressing

Olive oil has been mighty hard
to find of late-that is, any that
is worthy Of the name. Other
salad dressings are also on the
scarce list, SO this is a time for
ingenuity to come to the rescue
and concoct a dressing without
Oil that is tasty and wholesome.
In the top of double boiler,
put a teaspoon of salt, a table
spoon of mustard, about 4 table
spoons of -four, 2 beaten eggs
and u cup of melted butter.
Blend these well and then add a
cup and a half of milk and, very
gradually. a cup of vinegar. Stir
this carefully and slowly, SO as
not to curdle the milk. You can
wait to put in the vinegar until
the mixture has thickened a bit
from cooking. Keep on cooking
until the dressing is about the
consistency of custard and then
strain and cool it.
Now take a small package of
cream cheese and crush it, bit by
bit, into the dressing, using a
silver fork. When all the cheese
is in, beat the whole dressing
well until it is smooth and
creamy.
This is good with lettuce salads,
but is especially fine with slaws
or raw vegetable salads.

IF YOU LIVE IN some apartment
settlements around Washington you
will know what we mean when we
say you definitely need an electric
heater in your household equip
ment. Some dwellings have adopted
the policy of turning the heat off
from around 10 am to 4 pm, dur
ing which period the apartments get
very chilly. This is undoubtedly
done to conserve fuel, but it is very
for tenants with chill
dren who are home during the en-
tire day. Heaters have been diff
cult to get, but are rapidly making
their temperance. We've seen a
cabinet style, all-steel heater that
can be plugged into any light socket
1t will easily heat a small room
as it throws off heat in wide range.

A WAC who was wounded seri-
ously overseas asks: do you remem-
Der the autographed quilt that you
described several years ago?
should very much like to make one
during the several months I am
still to be in the hospital"
The quilt to which she refers was,
like every patchwork quilt, made of
pieces cut to fit together. A Ger
tain number of the pieces, about a
third Of them, I should say, were
autographed with sharp, soft pen
Gil. These names then were en-
broidered and the pieces fitted into
the quilt.
AS matter of fact, a number
of such pieces have been sent me
from time to time for my signature
Most Of the pieces sent me were
either Of sateen or fiat crepe. One
I remember was of white satin
and was cut from the train of a
wedding dress. Il have no idea
whether the quilt was to be a white
one or combination of colors.)
Dear Mrs. Post: All the girls in
our set seem to give all the parties
at their houses. Some time ago we
asked some of the boys who have
large houses why they didn't give
a party. They said it was always
up to the girls. We don't believe
this could be true and we'd like
to have an answer from you, so we
can show every one in our group.
Answer-Who gives a party de-
pends entirely upon her or his FAM
lily. If a boys family has a big
house and they are willing to let
him have a party, it is entirely
proper that they do so. In fact.
families of boys often do give lovely

Another idea to bring you an ur-
der e-mistletoe reward Is an eve
ming wrap. In these catch-as-catch-
can times for shoppers, it's hard to
say what you'll find in the stores
at any given moment, but one Of
the most striking we saw was a
dark brown cloak with metallic EN-
broidered panel Of brown velvet sup
plying a note of splendor on collar
and across the bodice. Cavalier
chic in this! We also noted some
thing special in the way of a
fuehsia wool, long fitted coat with
deep-set long sleeves, the top lined
for warmth and luster-laden with
matching sequins, the skirt as
sweeping as the law allows-a FASH
ion the shop suggests for both
hostess coat and evening wrap.
Short, bright toppers royal blue
or fuchsia, for example) are being
shown with glittering trim that
makes them suitable for evening
wear. Or you might buy an un-
adorned high-colored short coat and
supply an extra bit of aurora borea-
lis in the jewelry department to put
1t on an evening footing.
With reunions setting the pace
for many a Christmas, hearthside
fashions suggest other appealing
gifts. Why not give pair of elabor-
ate hostess pajamas the kind she
might hesitate to buy for herself?)
such as Joseph Whitehead's hand
some olive green tunic with its Sc
quin-elaborated lapels worn with
bright green trousers, or Tina Leser's
pink wool tunic with copper -colored
applique matching the copper jersey
slacks. Also in the trousered group
were some bright blue jersey num-
bers topped by long-sleeyed black
jersey blouse with its own attached
black satin laced midriff. These
are swoon-stuff for any girl, and
we saw them in one of our favorite
shops, but you may have to settle
for another variation of the same
theme.
In the less-money department are
exquisite hostess slippers, such as
square-toed felt softies lavish with
golden embroidery and iridescent Sc
quins, and also some knockouts for
those whose ankles get cold of a
winters night-Persian-like boots of
bright red or rosy beige felt en-
broidered with Oriental opulence.
These will bring glitter to her feet

Christmas De Luxe
Bv EpeIvn Haves

Christmas lights will be on again
in many home for the first time
since Pearl Harbor. This is year
when hearts are full and many are
looking for a de luxe way of saying
II love you" and Merry Christmas. +"
Furs and jewels have long been
the favored way of expressing a
more than all things" feeling. But
not every man can afford furs-and,
strangely enough not all women
really crave the precious pelts. And
so we suggest many another gift to
put stars in the eyes of a beloved
lady. A new version Of the gift of
fur is the fur hat. The trick here
Is to match the chapeau to her fur
coat or to the fur on her trimmed
coat-and fur hat also makes a
dramatic accessory to her simple
untrimmed coat. There's nothing
of the Daniel Boone left about
these; rather they're handled with
the suppleness and softness of
fabric. These may be all-fur, half
and-half fur. or just touch Of fur.
If she's tall and carries her clothes
with an air, probably the newest
and most exciting look In hats is
the all-fur casual hat-Sombero-
crowned and swagger-brimmed. In
mink, beaver or Persian lamb, it's a
hat that would renew any girls
faith in Santa Claus.
Snowy ermine, the fur of royalty,
lends itself to hats and headpieces
that would pay lovely tribute to
your personal princess. 1t might be
ermine on black to add a lush touch
to her dinner blacks, or perhaps a
black sequinned headband with a
cluster of ermine tails, this one a
happy combination of youth and
chic. Then there are Lilly Dache's
glittering jewel hats-all jewels
worked intricately on net, with vel
vet bows cascading down the back.
One of these would make any girls
dream Of bright Christmas come
true.
In the gala mood of our first
peacetime holiday season, you might
give her new evening dress. Fof
the supersophisticate it might be
one of Traina Norell's al-over bead
ed sheaths-slim, slinky and scin-
tillant-or the same designers new
ankle-length dinner dress with a
high-waisted midrif that reaches to
just below the bosom. This years
dreams are often made of beautiful
bouffant gowns, but they're harder
to find right now.

LINOLEUM CARE.
(From Mrs. D. S. W, Washington
I recently noticed letter in your
column from a reader who was hav-
ing trouble keeping her kitchen
linoleum clean and shining. had
this same problem in house we
rented furnished a year or so ago.
We didn't feel that we could afford
to have a new linoleum inlaid, so
my husband scrubbed the old floor
covering to remove all wax and dirt
that had been ground in by pre-
vious careless tenants. This hard
scrubbing also removed any evidence
of shine, so he gave the linoleum
two coats of shellac (varnish could
also be used, if preferred. AS soon
as the shellac or other finish has
dried and hardened, wax well! We
then gave the floor regular weekly
washing and waxing treatments, and
the result was a floor covering al
most like new. There are also sew
eral fine commercial finishes made
especially for renewing the surface
of linoleum. hope this will be the
answer for you in your problem. I
nave received so much helpful advice
from this column that am very
happy to be able to reciprocate.
CARPETING.
from Mrs. r. R. B., Chevy Chase.
In regard to the query by Mrs. I.
F. concerning how to have her car
pet laid, I would like to state the
experience I have had.
My carpet is laid with about a A.
inch floor space all the way around,
and I find this floor space very hard
to keep clean. 1t is too small for
mop so I must get down on my
hands and knees with cloth in
order to take up the dust. For this
reason I think 1 would have my
carpet tackled under the holdings
If were doing it again.
Regarding the on-the-f1oor sham
pooing, have had this done sew
eral times and think it is wonder
full method. In fact, would not con-
slider having it done any other way,
as my rugs look beautiful and the
convenience of not having to be
without them is great.
