Unfurnished?
No Matter!
BY Jean Waeqanan

Suppose you find just the home
you'd been looking for-(we can
dream, can't we?)-The rent tallies
with your budget and it has ex-
actly the number of rooms you
need, plus the added charm of a
fireplace and garden-but it is un-
furnished. All your belongings are
stored at home, hundreds of miles
away. What to do?
1t may interest you to know that
it is possible to rent furniture,
lamps and rugs and even pianos. If
you're careful in your choice of these
pieces, you can make a temporary
home attractive as we'll as COM
Portable.
Rental is on a monthly or semi
annual basis, and you must sign a
contract holding you responsible for
any damage incurred beyond usual
wear and tear. This contract, rea-
sonably enough, forbids you from
the furniture from the
premises (named in the lease, or
subleasing the furniture without
the owners consent. Your furniture
is placed in your new home for you,
with transportation taken care of
gratis, providing you live within a
certain prescribed radius Of the Dis
trict and its environs. All rent
ais are payable in advance, but
the initial deposit made at the
time the lease is signed, is grad
ually absorbed as part of your rent.
1t is also possible to rent small
air-conditioning units Hard as it is,
with the present cold wave doing
its stuff, to imagine summer in
sight, don't forget there will be days
when the thermometer will soar
again in the 90S. If you want to re-
inforce your home against that time,
you'd better attend to the matter
pronto! The supply of available
units Is limited, and early birds are
already placing their orders.
If you want something special
period pieces, or a cabinet or
couch, Of certain size-it's worth
your while, to insert a squib to this
effect in the classified section of
your newspaper. With so many FAM
lies on the move today, there
should be some who would like to
hold on to their furniture, rather
than sell outright, yet hesitate
when faced with the prospect of
storage bill. Renting their
belongings would answer their
problem and yours. If the idea ap-
peals to you, and you find what you
want, be sure to take careful inven-
tory of each piece, and see to it that
a contract is drawn up. These pre-
cautions might save you many a
headache!

Pin>Money Finds
By Eveiyn Hayes

SPRING SUIT SCOOP!-Of late
It's been hard for girls on a budget
to find clothes that wouldn't stretch
the excheQuer. Things are looking
up, though-now that OPA and
.WPB are pooling their efforts to
bring more popular-priced merchan-
disc into the stores, although you
won't find the results In your favor
lite shop for few months. Occa-
sionally, however, even now, per-
Sistence unearthS good buy. Here's
a suit that will solve your bigC. st
wardrobe problems at one fell sWoop
or scoop. It's so smart and so low
priced, We checked twice to be sure
the ticket was correct. Made Of
wool (more than half and rayon
navy-blue serge, it has the new
banded, slightly bloused battle
jacket" filched from Gen. Ike
and divided dirndl that lies nice
and fiat over the tummy. Wear it
as suit with or without a blouse.
Wear the skirt separately with a
variety of blouses-including one
sleeveless number for dining and
dancing. You'll find it's that hard
to-find soft suit for spring-simple
enough for the daily grind, yet soft
enough for the evening glamour.
Designed by Lillian Abbott for junior
sizes-but many a smart older miss
will wear 1t.
X y \
SWEET CANDY STRIPE-To go
with the above suit there's g gay
red and white candy striped rayon
crepe blouse that's an equally good
buy. 1t has long sleeves and sweet
boW-tied Peter Pan collar that's fine
with all the new cardigan necklines.
Definitely the kind of detailed blouse
that will make a costume out of al
most any solid color skirt.

FROM MEXICO WAY-Time was
when silver earrings were as easy
to find as the nearest store which
usually had plenty. Times have
changed-and a girl can walk off
her precious rationed shoe leather
without finding a smart pair at a
moderate price. Not that she couldn' t
live without earrings these parlouS

days, but we all know that the right
jewelry can blow new life into an
old costume. We've stumbled on a
treasure trove of silver earrings
just from Mexico. Either round or
square, they're etched with bits Of
Navajo geometric design that give
them an added look OF distinction.
To go with them-although they're
well able to stand on their own mer-
its-are silver pins that could be
the One Touch that makes your suit
stand out.
JOY FOR JOTTERS-If you're
one for jotting notes-or your VAL
entine Is (either he or she)-here's
an item that will be double bar
relied JOY. A smooth saddle leather
pocket notebook combining address
book and reliable memo pad, it
comes with useful spare pockets to
hold all the notes and cards people
have a way Of collecting. If your
Valentine is overseas, you'll be glad
to know that this makes the eight
ounce limit. In navy blue, too, for
the Navy, ct al-and put your own
adoreSS IN II as a gentle reminder.

A SHARP IDEA-We're sorry, but
we're just weak when it comes to re-
sisting a pun! Anyway, this one at
least serves the purpose Of calling
your attention to our gloating over
our newest find, a knife! Not too
long ago a knife was something you
bought for your Boy Scout cousin
or nephew. Now, if there's any APO
in your life, you've probably been
searching for one these many
months. This is beauty-a seven
in-one affair that any man Z to 10
military or MOI would treasure. In
addition to two blades, it secrets in
its innards corkscrew, can opener,
screw driver, bottle opener and a
gadget known as punch" which
he'll understand, but which looks
frightfully lethal to us. All this
comes neatly done up in handsome
stitched pigskin case-part Of a de-
layed Christmas shipment to one Of
our favorite leather shops. Blessings
on Bitten g. Co.!

BRAID1Na RUGS.

(Thdnks to Mrs. G. S., Washington.)
Mrs. A. B. H., Takoma Park, has
touched on favorite topic Of mine.
My ears prick up at the first men
ton of braided rugs, having made
several and admired many more.
The list Of principles Of making
non-bulging rugs Is headed by the
rule Of Drawn" for the braiding and
"coaxing" for the circling Of the
braid. Braid tightly and ease the
finished braid gently round and
round as you sew the ever increas-
ing circle that becomes your rug.
Braiding should be really tight, but
when you sew the braid the stitches
will be tight, but not the circles. Use
small overcast stitches at right
angles to the braid and ease in a
short stretch at time, examining
each length before moving on to the
next. Loose braiding, or tight cir
cling are two of the leading causes
of an unsatisfactory rug. Another
important thing to remember is that
the braid should be of even width
and thickness throughout. If you
start with small thin braid of
41SllO-WC4Sllt 44dtCll ld1 pC W
stick to just that. Variations in
weight Of goods may be adjusted by
cutting heavy material narrower,
and soft material wider than aver
age, but being sure to fold to three
strands of equal width. OF equal
importance to these technical de-
tails is the kind of material used.
You must stick to one kind in any
given rug, either all wool or all cot
ton, whichever the case may be.
Never combine them, as buckling
can be caused by the difference in
stretching qualities of different
materials.
Braiding for novelty rugs of five
or more strands is quite simple when
considered as weaving rather than
braiding. The five strands are joined
as three-strand braiding. Starting
with the outer strand from which,
ever side is most convenient, weave
1t "over and under, over and under"
the remaining four (note that the
fourth on this stretch is the one that
was first at the starD. The fourth
strand will need to be twisted gently
into place each time, to line up the
three beside it. Continue in this
way, always taking the outside strip
and weaving it through the other
four.

FRIED CHICKEN;
CREAM GRAVY.
(Thdnks to Mrs. J. J. T.,

After gaining so much valuable
help and advice from your column,
I feel almost obligated to submit
the following in answer to requests
For Mrs. A. j. F., Vienna, Va:
My husband came from. Kentucky
and from his mother have learned
to cook Southern fried chicken that
is brown and crisp on the outside
and moist and tender inside. It's
very simple. Select a fryer any,
where from IL to pounds depend
ing on the number of servings de-
sired. Usually I wash, salt and let
chicken stand in the icebox over
night, but this should not be neces-
sary If chicken is well salted before
using. Dip each piece in -four or
shake up in bag containing flour,
so that each piece is we'll covered.
Brown in about "a inch hot bacon
fat until golden brown on all sides.
Then cover and cook over low flame
until tender, turning frequently. I
allow full hour unless the chicken
Is rather small and cooks through
more quickly.
For cream gravy, use tablespoon
flour to each tablespoon of drippings,
blend and let cook over low flame
for just a minute or so that the
flour will cook-stirring constantly.
Then, while stirring add about l
cup of milk or cream to each 2 table
spoons fat and flour, stirring until
it thickens. Flavor to taste. South

CITES NEED OF

At least II Army combat

clared, quoting from a report

Unless the $4,000 nurses
needed by the Army and Navy
Nurse Corps are recruited i'm
mediately, American fighting
men will suffer needlessly for
lack of proper nursing care"
Martin said.
American casualties have now
reached nearly $4,000 weekly, a
300 per cent increase since July
and recent developments necess-
itate an even greater number of
nurses overseas, the local Red
Cross chairman stated. Army
general hospitals in this country
have fewer nurses per bed than
