belts this spring are an exciting
story in themselves. We saw scar
let calf belts which were designed
for that note of dash to traditional
navy for spring. Some of them
were studded with gold nail heads
some were stitched in white. Some
had matching studded fobs of calf,
fashioned out of calf bound rings
and draped knots of the leather.
We saw plastic patent belts. Wide,
wide, wide one with enormous
buckles studded in gold. There were
great cleaning gold midrif accent
ers which swooped around and but
tonholed over huge gold button.
All of them were wonderful and we
made mental note to advocate that
belts 60 with everything in the COM
ing seasons-from bathing suits to
nousecoats!
BACK FROM THE WARS. That
material which went into the insu-
lation of ships and telephone wires
all during the war is now here and
out on the counters in mirrQr-shiny
handbags-believe it or not! They
match up with patents. They wash
of with swipe of a damp cloth and
they don't crack. We saw one which
was shaped like a little barrel-like
lunch box. The top swung open on
both sides of the handle. It makes
a good teammate with your Dandy"
suit!

BOTTLE TO CUP.
From Mrs. K. r. c.,
SilUer .Sprinq, Md

For the first time I'm entering a
discussion in RICH to pass on what
my pediatrician told me about wean-
ing baby from a bottle. He said
the newer idea is to let the baby
stay on the bottle until he's willing
to give it up-until the child is
years old if necessary. His idea was
that weaned baby wouldn't take
as much milk at a time when he
particularly needed it. Psychology
books have read leg. Parents
Can Be People") say that the pleas
ure child receives from a bottle is
sufficient argument against early
weaving.
I have two exceptionally healthy
children. The first was weaned at
20 months, the second at 18 months.
At that time both were drinking
water and orange juice from glass
with ease and the weaving process
was very easy one I had offered
milk from glass at earlier ages,
but when I met resistance to the
idea, made no attempt to force
the issue. I kept Offering milk I'M
til the child drank few swallows
before reaching for the bottle. After
several days of this, only the glass

CLEANING COIL SPRINGS.

from Mrs. r. H. r. Washington. J
Here is another suggestion for
cleaning coil springs. On a sunny
day in either the spring or fall we
carry ours outdoors and turn the
hose on them. 1t does a wonderful
job and is so easy. Stand them on
edge on the cement walk or some
similar place and they will dry in
the sun and do not need to be dried
with a cloth.

It's ALI Done With Accessories!

Those who earn their daily bread
dreaming up accessories for you,
realize today more than ever before
what an important role accessories
have come to play in the look of
American women and their fashion,
able appearance. When heads turn
and whisper of THERE goes a
Well-dressed woman!" trails after
a smart passerby, it's largely due
to her accessory choice. This spring
you will find the shops thronged
with more clever, colorful and idea
inspired accessories than in any past
season. 1t takes only a flick through
any fashion magazine, or a trot
through any shop to confirm this.
The woman who is quick to catch on
to things pertaining to her ward
robe will start assembling simply
designed clothes for this spring
Here's her chance to display her
own clever personality through the
choice Of individual accessories. She
can add spark and ginger to her
costumes. She can add picture
prettiness to herself. She can add
touches of the sophisticate-it's all
done with accessories! So to the
woman with mind to these posi-
'bilities, we dedicate the following
notes on brand-new springtime &C
cessories which have just this min
ute arrived in town!

score, there are beautiful .chate-
LANES and scatter pins to be found
for the hunting. While these pieces
represent an investment, generally
they are something which really
never go out of style. Antique at its
best was one gold chatelaine with
loops of fine gold chain taken from
an old eyeglass chain, caught to-
together with an exquisite porcelain
blue French enamel pin. Another
chatelaine was in antique silver. 1t
had an engraved bar pin to which
the chains were fastened. From
the chains dangled old-fashioned
bicycles, tiny prayer book which
opened up to hold miniature por-
traits of the family or "the one ]
love" (Such a chatelaine could be
designed to carry some of the special
charms from that discarded brace
let)
SWEET LITTLE SCATTER PINS
come in pure yellow gold. These are
embroidered in etching and en-
bellished with tiny turquoises, pink
garnets, pearls and diamonds.
What's prettier than one or a set
of scatter pins riding on the point
of collar, on a cuff, or pinned onto
the fold of your cloche or the rib
bon of your bonnet?
THERE'S THE LOOK OF WAN
PUN in the chokers of brilliant,
glistening beads. And no wonder
the Indians loved 'em! You'll trade
your dollars happily for these when
you consider what these multi
strand colors can do for a bleak
starkly simple neckline. The out
standing bead choker we saw was a
many stranded blaze of emerald
green. brilliant blue and scarlet
beads. Here would be the light in
the life of almost any neutral COL
ored costume.
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE
SUN are beaded bags that go right
out under the sun for street wear
Why no one ever thought of it be-
fore, we can't imagine. We saw deli
cate white bags of chalky white
beads. keyed to dainty summer
dresses or just right to go South
now. There were cleaning bugle
bead black bags which were made to

springer for that matter, what a
perfect accent with your prints
These bags came in simple envelope
shapes, with slight f1ared line at
the base-or as adorable little boxes
to be carried over the arm.
NEW AND ABOUT A SHOE. It's
the shoe with the necklace silhou-
cite. And what's more that's ex-
actly what it looks like! The shoe
Is sandal-like in cut and the ankle
strap is dashed with silver studs
exactly like a necklace! The high
est heeled style of this new shoe has
silver studded platform sole which
matches up with the necklace
strap. The medium heeled version
of this shoe, comes in plain black
doeskin and has wedgie sole. Very
pretty with the wide opened toe, the
sandal cut and what a cool stopper!

CLEANING ALUMINIUM:
REMOVING ADHESIVE.

(From Mrs. v. w. p, Washington. J
In answer to Mrs. F. H. HIS aues-
ton about how to remove stain from
aluminium pans, fine steel wool pads
filled with special soap are excel
lent. There are a number of COM
mercial brands of these pads, any
OF which are good, and they can
be purchased at any 10-cent store
or grocery store. If the pans are
badly discolored, it will take some
elbow grease and perhaps several
pads to clean them. Once they are
clean, a light going over with the
pads each time the pans are used
will keep them that way. Be sure
to get the pads that are filled with
soap. I have had my pans nearly
seven years and they are still bright
and shiny.
Here is helpful hint I would
like to pass on about how to re-
move the sticky substance left on
the skin after an adhesive bandape
has been taken off. Simply rub
the spot with oil, any kind that is
handy.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
(From Mrs. J. E. c., Washington. J
In regard to the child who does
not respond to talking, I would sug-
geSt a nursery school for a few
months. There with youngsters his
own age he will play and forget his
shyness. I have friend who sent
her child to nursery school and
have noticed a big difference in her
speech.
To the little girl who forgets salt
and pepper, place your recipe near
you as you work, as you put in each
ingredient, check it off with pencil
and you will then remember.
To the reader with calling cards
with her maiden name, found with
mine, it was handy to keep them in
my wallet. If some one wanted my
name and address it was easy to
write on the reverse side, also when
shopping, used it as a memo and
placed it in the window section of
wallet. When paying for a pur-
chase from my wallet, quick
glance would tell me what wanted
next. The cards came in handy in
place of carrying a notebook.
