Averted ruin, and led them on to fame

He bowed to fate; but nobler victory
In hatng needless sacrifice of life.
Though Knocked and scorned for this by all Nippon,

He, undismayed, reflects tranquility.

IT'S SO EASY TO MEND cloth
ing and linens with a special hot
iron tape! We suggest you tuck a
package or two into your child S
school-bound trunk. There are two
types of packages, one contains five
assorted color tapes, each IL by 5
inches in length. White, peach,
khaki, blue and brown are the COL
ors represented. The single-color
package contains a 30-inch tape in
white, brown, tan, navy, black,
light blue, flesh, gray and red. So,
as you can see, it wouldn't be a
difficult job for your offspring to
match when mending. OF course,
the above suggestion is really a
Sldellne, for the most natural place
for this tape to be is right close
to the ironing board cabinet. Then,
as you go through the wash basket,
you've got just what you need right
there, and you won't have to spend
whole evening mending small
tears in sheets, lingerie or what
have you. The tape makes a last
ing bond as neatly, quickly and
easily as the first three numerals.
One, cut the tape a little larger
than the rip and be sure to round
the corners. Two, apply shiny side
to wrong side of fabric and press
with a hot iron for minutes, using
pressure. It's heat, plus pressure,
that melts the plastic coating onto
the fabric. Three, allow a minute
to cool and seal the bond. If ma

Fashion has turned the spotlight
on your eyes by lifting brims, barring
broWs and bringing your orbs right
into the open. Whether your ewes
tell a pretty story Is up to You.
You can't expect to ignore them in
your beauty regime and then have
them shine brightly just for the
wishing. Actually, all you need is
the Will to Improve and some good
common sense care that comes all
wrapped up in special eye-care
kit designed by woman long ia

OF them are packed in this neat,
navy blue compact-eye cream, eye
bath to cleanse and refresh, eye
astringent for premakeup patting

eye shadow. The routine is simple
and well worth your effort. OF

Beauty Notes

We never fail to be amused and
amazed by the wild wordage per-
fumers send out about their wares.
Take this, for example-and I'VE
quote: "Gri Gri Is pronounced Gree
Gree, and sounds bit like the love
call Of lonely little cricket lost
in the ecstatic contemplation of a
dewdrop." Dewdrop, indeed! Actu-
ally, the idea behind the name is
romantic one, inspired as it was
by the story of young jungle lad
who went to the wars with q Gri
Gri around his neck for protection.
Said G. G. was made of brilliant
feathers, bits of ivory and three
blue pearls and, according to the
boy, was a charm to insure good
hunting, good fighting and good
loving. So the legend goes, anyway
and that's how the perfume got its
name. The perfume itself is a
pleasant fragrance that, like any
scent, is hard to describe. It's a
bit heady, bit sweet, more than
a bit dry, description that would
fit other perfumes, too. What makes
this one News Is that here at last
is perfume that will stick by you
in the face of tobacco smoke. We've
all dressed for a party, dabbed on
favorite scent, only to have it
killed in a taxi by our escorts cigar
smoke, whose powerful pungency ap-
parently can do a disappearing act
on any perfume. That is, any per-
fume but Gri Gri, which lovely
fragrance can't be ruined by ciga-
rettes. In fact, its said that you
can blow smoke right through it
without hurting it. The why's" and
"hows" of this performance are that
the oil of tobacco has been blended
with it and then removed with
lust enough of the essence remain-

Wives being human and so often

HOUSEHOLD QUERIES?

From Mrs. A. S., Washington
wonder if any of the readers
perhaps the older readers, can help
me with the following problem.
We had planned to buy home,
and then the war interferred with
our plans, SO we are trying to make
the best of it in our present home,
until we can get house with a
furnace or oil heat in the basement.
I have four small rooms which
heat with a portable kerosene heat
er. 1t looks nice and is clean and
has two side doors which throw out
a good heat, it has a heat control
valve; the only draw back is, when
turn it to the highest point, espe-
cially in the coldest months, such as
January, February, March, there is
an odor of kerosene fumes. I won-
der if any of the readers know of
method by which could purify the
air and get rid of the fumes.
Another thing, does any one have
suggestions for keeping the air in
four rooms moist? I understand
person is less susceptible to colds
when the air is not too dry and
heated. In summer my rooms are
inclined to be damp; is there any
gadget I could use to get rid of the

To Mrs. c. w. E., regarding hue

tions do not agree I pass on both
and you may take your choice:
One package said: 1.-THE fruit
should not be used until thoroughly
ripe. Boil until tender before add
ing sugar, as boiling in sugar will
cause it to become tough. There is
sometimes bitter taste which dis
appears after the fruit has been
frosted. If prepared before frost,
parbol in water containing q small
pinch of baking soda" The other
package said: "If fruit is to be
cooked for pies or canning can be
picked week after turning black. If
to be eaten raw let them remain
longer. Pie recipe: One quart ber-
ries, 2 cups sugar, 2 tablespoons
flour. slices lemon, l tablespoon
butter, pinch nutmeg. Mix flour
and sugar and add the fruit. Cook
thoroughly, mash the berries and
fill the pie. Some use tablespoon
vinegar in place of lemon"
Our berries started turning blue
early in July. I picked the first of
them August 25. They were not bit
ter at all and made a delicious pie.
