HEIGH-HO SILVER-At last-a
belt for the girls who love silver
jewelry and things that go with it
This is slim BELTS inch-of
smooth cowhide studded with great
knobs of silver. Bride leather they
call it-and we found it in a shop
famed for its fine feathers. ANY
girl would like one-but especially
those who go in for silver and for
grey. At the same shop there's a
whopping-wide belt of leather stud
ded with multi-color stones-cowboy
stuff, this-just what she'd like to
accentuate the nipped-in waist of
her slim wool dresses.

SILLY FILLIES-Most engaging

sorry that breaks the conversational
ice, these come in faxed pink gold
yellow gold or silver, and make a
fine pair to curry favor with a

ANSWERS TO QUERIES:
CHRISTMAS COOKIES

from MIS-. E. C. B., Washington. J
Rum Chiffon Pie-There have
been several excellent recipes for
this pie submitted, but do not be-
lieve there has been any one who
has suggested the proper topping"
for this particular pie, as is usually
used by certain eating places that
feature 1t. This pie has to "set"
before 1t can be eaten, as there Is
gelatin in the filling. Just before
serving, put powdered sugar in a
hour sitter, and sift powdered sugar
all over the top Of the filling; then
by using a very fine crater, CRATE
bitter baking chocolate over the top
Of the powdered sugar. This top
ping will not keep overnight, as the
sugar melts and crystalizes.
Almond Rice-This recipe has
been in our family for many years,
and being Scandinavians it is a spe-
cial Christmas dish, which we do
not prepare at any other time of
the year except for Christmas eve.
First you wash 2 cups of uncooked
rice in six or seven rinsings. Place
the rice with IL (also pinch of salt)
cups OF cold water in the top of
double boiler. Cook until the rice
Is fluffy and all the water evapo-
rated. Add several pieces of stick
cinnamon, sugar to taste (should be
quite sweeD and pour over it at
least l pint Of heavy cream (sweet)
Continue cooking it in the double
boiler slowly. For best results this
should be cooked 4-6 hours SLOW
LY. Before serving, and it is served
hot, with the main course of the
dinner, remove all the stick CHINA

TOT UQOSe new at the game OF
sending personal civilian bundles to
the United Kingdom, the whole
business at first must look confusing
and complex. It's little of both,
but not above untangling.
Making no attempt to be subtle,
We'll begin with the basic facts:
The weight-not over II pounds
gross The length-not over AZ
inches, or 72 inches in length and
girth combined. May the package
be insured? Yes, but not registered.
How many packages may one per-
son send to another? Not more than
one a month.
The problem of the duties and
taxes involved is a hurdle, but one
that can best be solved by contact
ing the recipients of your parcels,
finding out which things most appeal
to them, and their ability to cope
with any payments involved. The
tale of the CT who sent his English
sweetheart an engagement ring,
only to discover that the tax
amounted to 100 per cent of the
value of the ring, backs the wisdom
of inquiring before you leap.
There is a 10 to 80 per cent range
Of import duty on practically every
item going into the United Kingdom.
There is also a purchase tax in
volved, comparable roughly to our
luxury tax, which ups the rate on
everything but food, to which this
second tax does not apply. This
purchase tax will be at least 1924
per cent on most items, and this in
creases to 331s per cent or 100 per
cent, depending on the extent to
which the item is considered 'lux-
ury." These two fees are paid by
the person on the receiving end.
Import duties cannot be prepaid
by the sender, although it is possible
to secure an international money
order covering the approximate
duties, and delivery costs involved,
and send the money order to the
recipient.
It's amazing to discover that many
things we would consider essential
have a quite high purchase tax,
meaning that in present-day Britain
they are classified in the luxury
bracket. Everyday items, including
food and clothing, essential in our
estimation, are strictly rationed in
the United Kingdom. We are told
that they prefer quantity to quality,
although an occasional glamour
article, such as nail polish, finds q
place in their hearts.
Probably the best item to send is
food; lack of variety in their diet
Is one Of their bugaboos. There is
roughly 1919 import duty involved
on foodstuffs, and no purchase tax.
It's well to remember that one
cannot send more than pounds Of
any one food, nor more than 7
pounds Of foodstun in general in one
box. Dried fruits and food mixes,

Invisible Heating
Bv Elizabeth MacRae Boykin

Another postwar miracle, pre-
dicted during the gloomy war years,
is really coming true. That is in
visible home heating with neither
radiator nor registers to torment
you. The secret of the new invisible
heating is a radically new concept
of heating by means of a ''base-ray
heat panel which delivers heat rays
straight into the room at ankle
height via the Dashboard. This con-
forms to the engineering ideal OF
placement where heat loss is great
est"
These panels are hollow, cast iron
units 7 inches high and an inch
and three-quarters wide and they
are supplied with hot water or steam
from the usual heating boiler. They
look like the conventional Dashboard
and are placed on one or more OF
the outside walls, usually extending
the length of the wall. Standard
wood moldings at the top and bot
tom Of the base-ray panel give 1t
the same finish as the other base
boards in the room. Painted to
match the woodwork and trim in
the room, the panels blend perfect
ly into the decorative scheme and
are hard to distinguish from the
baseboards they replace
The new base-ray heat panel
spreads the warmth down in the
coolest part of the room-the bot
tom Of the outside wall-thus this
radiant Dashboard provides the most
even f1oor-to-ceiling home tempera-
ture possible. Yet this new base

ray panel is completely inconspicu-
GUS and does not interfere in any
way with window draperies or affect
the arrangement of furniture. And
it Is easy to keep clean-no deep
radiator cracks or register holes to
collect out-of reach dust.
These new heat panels are easy
to install and are relatively mex
pensive, costing no more than the
conventional Vpe of recessed cabi-
net radiators. And they actually
save fuel whils keeping the room at
more comfortable temperature
than old-type radiators or registers.
Fixtures for turning heat on or of
are concealed by a neat metal in
closure which is flush with the front
and top of the panels. Installation
Of base-ray panels requires no spe-
cial structural changes in the build
ing or the installation of a costly
new heating system. They can be
used on all type Of hot-water jobs,
but are adaptable to most any
standard type installation.

Mrs. ]. A. M, Washington, that you
have tropical Philodendron plant
and the pot you mention is much
too small for such large plant. I
nave seen these particular plants
growing In water in large pottery

plants by removing those small
plants which grow along the sides
OF the water. It does not require
sunny place in which to grow. If
you transplant your large plant into
huge flower pot, do not water 1t
too much as to make the earth soggy
or mushy-just enough to make it
quite damp. You do not need to
water it every day.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I work in a Ii
brary and 1t Is matter of con-
tinual regret to me that the gen.
cradle public has so little appre-
citation of the treasures that Ii
braries have to offer to any one and
every one. Statistics show that
only between Is and 80 per cent of
the people in the United States are
book-borrowers from libraries. Why
can't the general public be made to
realize how much richer and fuller
their lives would be If they only
acquired the library habit?
I have often thought that it is a
pity that there should not be classes
for the boys and girls who are 60
ing to be married and newlyweds
that would stress what the Public
Library can do to help insure their
happiness. Wives can become more
interesting to their husbands; better
housekeepers through books on
home-making and decorating; bet
ter cooks and nutritionists through
the many cookbooks and diet books;
better mothers through books on
child-upbringing and psychology, If
they took the opportunities the Ii
brary offers them. And the same
advice on how husbands can make
themselves more interesting COM
panions to their wives goes to men
also. M, A.
Answer: I wish that every man
and woman who read these words
Of wisdom would take them to heart
and forthwith wear a path to the
door OF the public library. For
three-fourths Of our population it
would be a new experience. They
have regarded the public library as
a strange building in which they
have never set foot and which they
have believed to be infested with
book-worms and other queer fauna
and of no possible interest to them
selves. It has never even occurred
to them that in it they would find
inexhauStible entertainment and
amusement and valuable tips on all
Of their problems. from how to win
the, boy or girl to how to improve
their technique in business.
The answer to the riddle is, of
course, plain. It is because the
average individual has never ac-

Christmas is coming and your al
lowance seems to be getting smaller
and smaller q the days 60 by.
You're seriously thinking Of march,
ing up and down in front Of your
home picketing with . sign stating
to the world that Parents Are I'm
fair to Their Children Regarding
Money Mattersi" But you didn't
stop to think about the holiday
season . couple Of weeks ago when
you saw that divine little baby blue
angora sweater that you simply had
to have. Nor did you think about
the divine" price tag that was on
1t, did you? Oh. no! You simply
bought 1t and mooned over 1t and
didn't stop to take into considera-
ton come what may" And come
what may has suddenly crept
around and here it Is almost Christ
mas and you are In tizzy.
Well, pick up, cherub, it's not all
that bad. We've rather sensed your
predicament and uncovered some
neat suggestions 80 that you can
be one up on the situation and
"novelle" at that. Everything in
life isn't judged by the amount of
what you pay for it-although there
are many walking around on this
great big earth with that idea. You
can make this point to remember
not only for Christmas when senti-
ment, not cost, Is the big thing
but in your everyday life. You can
make distinctive Christmas cards
and gifts for the family and for your
friends with little effort and cost
and with much enjoyment on the
part Of your friends and parents.
You'll also succeed in giving your
self feeling Of a job well done"
First Of all, although there are
many things that you do that aren't
routine, this is one time when you
should buckle right down to the
job at hand and start accomplishing
things. Assemble all your materials
in one place and plan on spending
some time on the making of the
cards and gifts. Don't pass the
word around that you are going to be
unique this year and make most of
your cards and gifts. Keep 1t
deep, dark secret and surprise
everybody on Christmas Day. Now,
we don't mean that you should iso-
late yourself but don't get mixed up
on hour long telephone conversa-
tions with Susy about that darling
Joe that you are mad to meet. Don't
pass the word on to the gang that
you are spending your nights at
home and that if they are just
around the neighborhood why not
drop in? They'll "just happened
to be passing by" all the time.

The Young Idea
Bv Betty and Helen

For the younger than you ares"
on your Christmas list and for your
girl friends who just adore cuddltng
stuffed animals when they drop on
to sleep, = local department store y
featuring make them yourself"
soft toys. Included in the set are
patterns for making beanbags and
toy animals. So you see, you can
kill two birds with one pebble. Com
plete instructions are given and the
sets contain bright-colored stamped
felt and embroidery floss. After sew
ing them you can fill the bags with
beans or turn them into soft, cuddly
toys by stuf1ng them with cotton
wadding. ........
Now for your Christmas cards. Do
you have the habit Of saving last
years Christmas cards? It's nice
habit, especially considering that
this year even though you are broke
you still want to be original. Buy
small-siZed note envelopes and cut
your cards in different shapes. Make
sure, of course, that your name
finally appears on the finished prod
uct, not the person who sent it to
you last year. II this idea doesn't
appeal to you why not take the time
out to write individual Christmas
notes Of greeting on festive holiday
stationery. It's an old-fashioned
gesture but very sweet and quaint
in this modern day.
Around this season you seldom
have fears concerning what you
ought to get your girl friends for
Christmas. They usually have
dropped subtle" hints that resound
with thud as to what they would
just "love" to have for Christmas.
The big issue is what to get that
special beau and in many instances
beaus. Expensive and loving gifts
are strictly out. And the tie, cuff
links, wallet and belt song has been
chorused so many times that the re-
frain is wearing thin. Look, if he's
terribly interested in aviation why
not browse through a good book
store and buy him a super de luxe
book on the subject? He'll think
much more Of that gesture than he
would of wallet, of which by the
time Christmas Day draws close to
an end he will probably have four or
five.
There's no point in our saying that
you should have learned your lesson
in economy through this years ex-
perience because next year, although
it might not be a baby-blue angora
sweater it'll certainly be something
else. So.
