are bound to appreciate.
 It is more to the point than pretty speeches or evening of being lonized by local citizens.
 It is better than giving parties for servicemen or asking them to speak at luncheons.
 The use of car is, of course, just one of the many ways in which outsiders could help to make the servicemen's leaves in this country more pleasant.
 The wife or mother-cooking for a serviceman who has dreamed of home cooked meals - harried by a lack of red points, would certainly appreciate the gift of points for 8 pound of bacon or roast from some family without a returned service man to cook for.
 KEEP THE KIDS
 The serviceman with baby or several small children at home would certainly enjoy his leave more if his wife weren't com- pletely tied down. Offering to keep the kids, while the husband and wife go out at night or have a day away from home, would be about the most thoughtful way of making a young father welcome home.
 There are lots of ways the neighbors could help the returning servicemen have happier leaves if they really put their minds to it.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Play Up Your PiQuant Charm
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

If Nature has played a trick on you and given you set of eye lashes which are not color twins one eye which is darkly draped and the other a blonde surprise-the clever thing to do is to leave fringes unmatched and make a capital Of the piquant charm this contradic- tion gives to your face.
 It's easy enough to tint one blonde set of eyelashes dark to match it's mate, but you're warned against the obvious by girl who has tried that and doesn't think it works.
 Says Rene Kuhn, young New Yorker whose first round "34 Charl- ton" has just been published, Its a mistake to make a piquant face look like every other face"
 To keep her blonde-fringed eye from fading out of the picture, she says she just barely tips that set of lashes with dark mascara. But the root-eoge of the pale lashes are kept blonde to preserve the provoca- tive effect.

If you'll turn your basement into a colorful rumpus room it can be the coolest spot in the house for enter taining during hot summer months and the warmest next winter.
 Start by beautifying your heat ing plant with bright coat of paint. Use flat casein paint if your unit has an asbestos boiler cover ing, enamel if it is galvanized metal warm air furnace. Paint doors shining black for contrast.
 Cut Own Stencils
 Then turn your Holbein talents loose on the heating unit in the best homespun way by cutting cardboard stencils of birds, leaves or flowers, holding designs up for outlines through which you paint your motifs in sharp, clear col ors. Use the same type of paint for these as you use for coating the boiler or furnace.

New York-Smart skirt fashions step up to take the place of suits in the lives of blouses which you'll want to keep wearing.
 In colors as bright as ban danas, cotton skirts step out in petticoat ruffles and knee e-deep flounces, and advance behind trick apron effects or pockets as big as saddle bags, which some times blaze like headlights with sequin-embroidery. Example of this whoop-de-do is shown right in a black hand-loomed Guate- malan cotton with multicolor stripes. Two big pockets, flecked with gold sequins, set squarely on the full-gathered skirt topped by a high waistband.
