 Crisp Curtains Make a-.
 Your House Look Gay
 Crisp, immaculate glass curtains are a basic decorators recipe for dressing up tired rooms for gala occasions. You can do a good job of rejuvenating your curtains just by following few cues from the experts. First, make a 2 to 3 inch suds, adding bluing flakes with your favorite milk soap to give your curtains 8 clear, bright look. The use of bluing flakes with the soap eliminates danger of streaks, too, and does away with separate bluing job Rinse curtains in two clear waters. To manage the starching job so that you can achieve a crisp, satiny, dirt-resist- ing texture, just add quarter of a cake of specially prepared wax like product to each quart of light starch mixture. This wax-like prod uct keeps the iron from sticking and pulling, and so saves strain on old and worn curtains.

 If Dsddy's due home soon for a furlough, be sure to give Sister and Junior special beauty groom ing for the joyous welcome.

Mothers hands will benefit by this routine, as the lotion is soothing and softening to her skin too.

When Men Return They Must Expect To Find Women Changed

Women whose husbands never wanted them to work, have often found real satisfaction in the right job.
 Many others, used to spending their leisure, with their husbands business associates and theiI wives, have made an entirely new circle of friends for themselves. DOCILE NO LONGER
 And many a war wife, once docile about having to ask hel husband for money every morn ing. has handled all of the fam ilys finances alone-and done a good job of it.
 Women who have changed in those ways, and hundredad more aren't going to act exactly as they did before their husbands went overseas.
 The war has changed them, be- cause their way of living has been changed. And you just can't tell them to relax and act as they did thre or four years ago, any more than you can tell man to forget has war experiences and be the very same person he was when he put aside his civilian clothes for a uni form.

 The declarer then led the jack Of diamonds. South covered with the king and the ace won. The queen was cashed and North put in the lead by playing a small diamond.
 At this point the squeeze could have been broken if North had came back with a small heart However, North continued the ten of spades which was won with the queen. A small heart was won with the king and now the two diamonds were CaShed.
 North could not protect spades, hearts and clubs. South was in the same predicament. He had to try to protect hearts and clubs.
 As a result. both MT. Marcus and Dr. Hutchins made six odd.
