WHITE AND WASHABLE-Our
newest entry in the scoop sweep

able. What makes it different from
other washable white numbers is
that it doesn't look obviously prac-
teal, but is foremost a smart hand
bag. We have dubbed it the butter
fly drawstring pouch, and it's made
of white cotton twill sheathed by an
overlay of white rayon filet. The
butterfly" angle derives from the
wing effect of the pouch. 1t comes
equipped with its own change purse

whisking it through the suds and
then turning it inside out for IRON
ing. One of these would see girl

she still loves him and building air
castles about the home they will
have when he comes back from the
war Also, at first glance, it would
seem that the distractions of war,
with it horrors, excitements and
dangers, would mitigate the blow by
taking the boys mind off of his
faithless sweetheart and that by the
time he got back home he would
have forgotten whether it was Mary
or Sally to whom he was engaged.
Apparently many girls take this
view of the matter, for we are told
that SO many boys overseas have
been Tilted by their sweeties at home
that they have formed a large and
flourishing society that they call the
BruShof Club, where they get great
comfort in sympathizing with each
other.
But against this theory of telling
'em and having it over with comes
the report that nothing breaks down
the morale of the servicemen so
much as their uncertainty about
whether or not the girl they left be-
hind them is true to them. And so
it seems a pity to give those who
have so much to worry over another
grief.

DRESSER SKIRT:
REMOVING VARNISH?
NEEDLEPOINTP

Front Mrs. L. A., Washington.J
Some time ago a reader inquired
about pattern and types of mate
rial for a vanity skirt. You don't
need a pattern. One and one
half times the distance around the
top and two sides of the vanity
(pluS allowance for hem) is the
length of material you need The
distance from the edge of the top to
the floor plus 3 inches Ito GLOW
for hem and heading) is the width.
Pull a thread to cut by.
Cd You will cut the material in
two equal pieces and put a curtain
heading in skirt for a vanity with
arms. 1t is easiest to hem the sides
before putting in the heading and
bottom hem. Just look at the
nearest window curtain to see how
a curtain heading is made. Ruff
: 1es up the front and around the
bottom hens are good.
CD If your vanity is made from
a table or shelf, pleat the top. Put
a pair of pleats about Y inch deep
(each pleat) at the very edge of
GdSll dllu Illcll pun pairs Ol pldlLS
at regular intervals across the top.
Trust your eye for measurements
and pin with straight pins. Stitch
down and press For easier and
neater tacking turn the vanity up
side down on the floor Thumb
tack through thin piece of card
board. The cardboard Flush with
the edge, keep the material from
stretching and Gaping. The finished
skirt should be WITHIN an inch of
touching the floor.
Leftover strips may be used to
put matching ruff1es on your cur
tains or to cover the seat pad of
your vanity stool. If you wish to
cover mirror frame, picture frame
or wastebasket to match be sure to
use VEGETABLE GLUE. Ordinary
glue will come through the cloth.
Permanent glaze chintZ, Sateen,
gingham and seersucker are favor
ties for vanity skirt material. Even
material from an old bed sheet
dressed up with 3 bands of ribbon
or appliques around the bottom is
good

Dorothy Dix Says

DEAR MISS DIX: My daughter has
been engaged to a young man for
the last two years and they planned
to get married as soon as the war
was over. Soon after he was sent
overseas, he was reported missing,
and she was so heartbroken over it
that she would go nowhere, see no
one and grieved over it until she
made herself ILL., Now We have
learned that the young man was not
killed, but that he is a prisoner of
war. She doesn't seem to care any
more, won't write to him or do any
thing to show her sympathy
We cannot understand her. 1t
seems so heartless and cruel of her
when she was so devoted to him.
Do you think she could have fallen
in love with somebody else? Don't
you think she is wrong to refuse to
write to him and sort of break it to
him If she has fallen out of love with
him?
ANSWER-Nobody can understand
a girl in love, so there is no use in
worrying yourself over that. However,
the evidence is overwhelming that
she has transferred her affections to
some other lad. There is no cure
for an old love, you know, like new
one.
What girl should do when she
finds that she has lost her taste for
her flance and has fallen for the
charms of another youth is prob
lem with which thousands of girls
are wrestling right now. 1t is hap
pening every day, but what the best
thing is to do under the circum-
stances, no one knows.
On the face of it. the fair and
honest thing seems to be to come
out in tie open, tell the truth and
not let the boy go on believing that

In reply to Mrs. j. E. P, Wash
ington, I would like to pass on to her
the following cake made with the

ternately with the milk, beating we'll

prints, perhaps. Try mixing var1-
GUS subject groups like flowers and
animal prints. AL this being done
within reason. But if you have
pet" picture or photograph try
being an "isolationist" about the
whole thing. Discover the spot in
your wall area that is most suitable
and place your favorite there sans
other wall adornment near it.
Group your similarly framed small
pictures above low piece of furnl-
ture. Not only will emphasis be
placed on the pictures but on the
whole wall. Various sized pictures
that you wish to hang together
should have the base of their
frames level. Then your up and
down" line will look intentional.
This is in preference to smaller
pictures hung higher than the larger
one Also make sure your picture
doesn't overlap the sides of the piece
of furniture that is beneath it.
Shape and size of the furniture
and the pictures should harmonic.
Any picture, be it Rembrandt or
cheap but pretty modern scene,
is entitled to proper and suitable
hanging Hanging pictures is an
art in itself. The worst blunder in
hanging of pictures-and an unex-
cusable one at that is hanging
them from the molding by long
wires Tilting also went out with
| the 'stagecoach." Use picture pins
that do not mar the wall and hang
frames with taut wire. You have pic
lures then that lie fiat against the
wall and look much neater and
smarter. Keep the picture low
enough so that it is a part of the
furniture grouping to which it be-
longs. Keep the picture low enough
! to place the center of interest at
the eye level of a person standing.
In generations to come people
will come across surrealist and other
modern types of paintings and pic
lures buried in some cellar or attic
and gaze at them and wonder. eve
do that even todayD But there's
neither rhyme nor reason for haV-
ing people-in this day and age
enter your rooms and stand around
with quizzical looks on their faces
and wonder about your" pictures.
Suit yourself, as the old saying goes,
but let moderation be your guide in
the picking out and framing of the
pictures in your home After all
you are the one who is going to
look at them day after day, not the
f1eeting guest
Evening star., 1945-06-15

There are very few of us who
possess original Renoirs and Van
Goghs, but that is no reason for
not framing and arranging the pic
lures that you do have attractively.
If one can take the trouble to in
quire about the correct lighting and
placing of an "original"-one can
surely do the same for the floral,
costume and other picture scenes
that are available.
The Flemish, italian and French
schools of art are wonderful, but
if you don't care for them you need
not have them anywhere about you.
Letting professional art suggestions
and criticisms sway you is a mis-
take. Pictures are a matter of per-
sonal taste Always let that guide
you in your selection of your prints!
Good art is ageless. Even grand
pops daguerreotype could be made
to be the focal point in room
Looking at it, its big, thick, unflat-
tering frame is probably what you
dislike about the old bearded gent.
Take away that discordant note
and what you will probably have is
grandpop's picture renovated for
your pride and pleasure. Framing,
If done correctly, is supposed to
complement the inclosed "objet
dart" not subjugate it. Don't go
all out for ornate frames. A ba-
roque-type frame can be a thing of
beauty or an eyesore when improp-
erly placed in a room There is a
shop here in Washington that
caters to "frame-up" troubles and is
very nice indeed about helping you
solve your picture problems.
In selecting pictures for your
rooms be sure to think about these
small - but important features
Strong colors in a picture will COM
mand attention, but you should
avoid this type of bold dominant
scene, if you want to "recede" a
wall. Land or seascapes add vista
and can help push back the walls in
narrow room if placed on long
wall.
Don't scatter little pictures here
and there" Give them the benefit
of the doubt and try to achieve a
picturesque effect by doing some OF
these various things with them. II

Mrs. C. H. H. of Falls Church
wishes to know how to take grease
spots from wallpaper. I learned how
after l had tried everything any one
had suggested. 1 spent dollars on
commercial wallpaper cleaners, used
hot irons and blotters; none worked
until my sister-in-law told me how
to perform the miracle. Obtain a
box of fuller's earth and a bottle of
cleaning fluid. Make a paste, not
too thick, and smooth on the grease
spot, being sure to spread it well
outside of the edges of the grease
spot. Leave it until we'll after it is
dry. Don't let your curiosity rush
your investigation) Then brush it
off the wall with a soft brush or
cloth.
would also like to pass along my
method of taking stubborn black
marks from my modern lined wood
furniture. A little silver polish on

away without darkening or spotting
