A Clean Girdle
Lasts Longer
By ALICIA HART

BY ALICIA HART
Perspiration and body oils are
death to rubber and cloth of cor
sets. Treat them with special care
during hot weather and keep them
immaculate, because that makes
for both longevity and good sum-
mer grooming.
Hot weather is the time, par
ticularly, when corsets must be
pulled on persuasively, with every
hook and lace released. Think of
yours, also, as something to be
eased off not yanked off. Re-
gard them as something to be
especially cherished, now that there
may be less rubber to yield to care
less treatment.
When you buy, don't drive the
corsetiere mad by asking for a
carbon copy of the last 4 you
bought. Listen to her and strip
down for a fitting. Heed her ad-
vice as to size, because she will
not be apt to squeeze you into one
that's too small.
If you can possibly swing two
new girdles, buy twins to wear
alternately and stretch out the life
expectancy of each. The advan-
tage of twins is that each can be
kept clean and is good repair be-
tween wearings.

The trouble with having such an all-fired modern family and trying to keep up with them" Alice told herself as she looked around the hotel dining room on Christmas Day, lis that modernism and Christmas just don't go together. ,
 Her face felt as stiff as hard ened jelly mold from holding the smile she was determined not to relax, and internally she was positively wound up from the effort to emulate the rest of the gay, noisy people who were here instead of being at home where Alice thought they should be on that day above all others that has made your own fireside the place you most like to be.
 While they waited for the entree she and William were alone, sitting at opposite ends of the long table watching their children dance. Each che had been permitted a guest of his own age, but Alices eyes were focused on her tall, dark-haired Bill and his slim, golden-haired girl, Rosemary. Bill would soon be

fashioned people" said Alice, feel ing that she was complimenting the girls family.
 We're good for the Clusters, ' said William. They need stirring up It's fine thing for Rosie to get out and see a bit of the world"
 They're having their Christmas dinner tonight" said Alice. Mrs. Custer has invited Bill before the young people go to the dance"
 Come on, Alice, let's show these kids what for" In spite of the crowd, William covered the ground as he had in college when she fell in love with him. She was glad that she had managed to have her hair done Saturday. The gardenias the children had given her to wear to church yesterday were still fresh. Shed let Sister wear them tonight if her date didn't crash through Bill had bet Sis 50 cents he wouldn't.
 The orchestra melted into White Christmas and young Bill tapped his father on the shoulder Mons

favorite, Dad Let's change"
 Alice said You dance almost as well as your dad"
 Look at him, will you?" said Bill Quite the old boy
 Before long everyone was helping Bill and Sister dress for the dance. Bill lost his wager, and whistled over the red roses that were just right on the turquoise blue of Sisters frock.
 z She said Bill looked simply gor- geous in his tuxedo and when his father saw him he said Too bad they don't wear 'em in the Army, son.
 They heard Bill call Rosemary number on the phone downstairs and then he closed the door for privacy. Wouldn't you think" said Sister, he'd give the psor girl a chance to take a bath? I bet she gets good and sick of him"
 Suddenly Alice remembered call she had forgotten to make about the baskets the church distributed yesterday She flew to the up- stairs extension, and when she

She returned his smile. After all, this spree was costing enough to have bought three or four turkeys for home consumption. You were right, dear,' she said The young folks love it."
 Rosemary told me this is the one orchestra of all on the air that she'd choose to see," he said proudly. Its holy wonder her folks would let her out of the house on Christmas Day"
 The Clusters are pretty old

heard Bill still talking in leisurcly fashion, she opened her mouth to say, as she often did when neces- sary, Hang up, you two, need the phone"
 But she didn't say those words or any others. She listened a few mo- ments and her eyes filled with tears. The disappointment and hurt at the way her family had pre- ferred to spend their Christmas vanished as her very best Christi mas present of l945 was received on the wire.
 Heck mo- Bill was saying. "Y can hardly wait for an old-fash- toned Christmas dinner. That hotel business was all Dads idea so Nom wouldn't have to cook and wash dishes all day None of us liked it at all. Nom had good time, though"
