STEAM IRON;
QuERY2

From Mrs. o. r. B., Rockpille.)
So often I have wanted to write
and give my opinion on subjects
under discussion. Especially about
children, as have a girl 10 months
old and boy eight months. When
I feel low, with all the work they
cause, all I need is one peek at their
little faces. Then I say, Thank
You, God, for this divine gift You
have given me-" For you see I do
feel they are a divine gift!
I cannot resist saying something
for the steam irons. I see the two
ladies that have answered the query
on the iron are not as enthusiastic
as I. I have a regular iron as well
as the steam iron but have not used
it once since getting the steam iron.
The steam iron may be used dry as
is any ordinary iron. And as it is
larger you iron much faster. I do
all our laundry. My husband wears
dress shirts to work and with my
steam iron do shirt in five min
utes. I use the iron dry on any
starched or heavy cotton pieces. Just
dampen the clothes and iron as
usual. On woolens, rayons, silks and
thin cottonS the steam is wonderful.
I would advise any one not to pur-
chase the cheaper steam irons now
on sale. 1t is much better to pay
q few dollars more and get perfect
results.
Now for request. I purchased
material for slip covers. 1t is not
preshrlmk. Does any one know if
by using the steam iron on it I can
shrink it very much? 1t is nice ma
terial and I intend to shrink it be-
fore making the covers as I can
make a neater fit than if I allowed
for shrinkage.

proud-adopted children need to feel
proud.
Be ready for surprises, even for
shocks. This adopted child comes
from family line that is not your
own, and he is likely to show traits
alien to your ways. Don't try to

come a dancer and you wanted a
writer, accept your dancer. Nature

a great variety. You took a sealed
package You'll have to take what
ever comes gracefully and never
show the child that you are disap-
pointed. Why should you be?
There is no healthy. normal child

brighten the lives of his parents, to
bring them joy and comfort. Let

By Josephine Lowman

Did you ever try skiing in your
own room? There are certain ex-
erciSes which are most beneficial to
the figure and will prepare the
muscles for this winter fun. They
are interesting to do and you never
know when you may have the op-
portunlty and nerve to try this ex-
hllarating sport!
Lovely Jean Tennyson, soprano
star OF Great Moments in Music, -
says: Your legs, your waist, your
hips and your posture will all benefit
by a few minutes of exercise each
day. similar to the exercises one
does out on the ski slopes"
Here is one of Miss Tennyson's
favorltes. It's wonderful for the
waiStline and leg muscles. Stand
erect with the knees straight. Bend
forward slowly from the waist. FleX
the knees at the same time. While
in this position turn the upper part
of the body slightly to the left and
then to the right as you would when
making turn on skis.
H1lOl1lCl OiiC Sllc cilJOSS. Lie Oh
your right side with the weight on
your right hip. Bend your knees and
place both hands on the floor, bend
ing your arms at the elbows. Now
lift yourself off the floor as though
you were starting to get up after a
spill in the snow. Flop back to
starting position Repeat.
Stand with the heels together and
toes out, herringbone fashion. Walk
forward on the outer edges of your
feet, keeping the toes pointed out
and the arches as far off the floor as
possible.
l think these exercises are espe-
cially good for summer because they
are not strenuous and the psyche
logical repercussions of imagining
oneself on a snoW-covered hillside
should be cooling. I. myself, must
imagine very gentle slope or it
would be narrowing.

NAL situation really exists. The first
is the insistence of the engaged girls
on rushing their CT Joes into mar
riage, whether they are ready for 1t
or not. The girls are tired of waiting
and, come hell or high water. they
are determined to grab their men
before any of this years crop of
debutantes get their eyes upon them.
And this just naturally acts as
warning to the unattached boys to
walk high, wide and handsome
around the cuties and watch their
steps if they don't want to be
shanghaied into the holy estate.
Another reason why Joe is cautious
about qualifying for the boy friend
role is that he knows that in dealing
with women absence of body is bet
ter than presence of mind, and that
his safety depends on his making
himself scarce. For four years he
has been under discipline. He hasn't
had breath of liberty and now he
is enjoying his freedom and he
doesn't want to give it up. He knows
that eventually he will put his neck
in the moose and be so bossed by
the little woman that he will think
what good, kind, easy-going, con-
siderate person his old top sergeant
was. But for the time being he
wants neither MON nor wife to
supervise his downsittings and up
risings.
And another reason why the Joes
are not the perpetual dates the girls
crave is because so many of them
lack the price. 1t takes money to
give girl good time, for the female
of the species is a strange creature
who often has three or four birth
days a year: who is perpetually
hungry and who can always think
of something expensive to do. So it
is no wonder that she Is out of
bounds for fellow with empty
pockets and no job.
But while all of these reasons ex-
plain why CT Joes are not ladies
men, 1t doesn't help the girls.

Dorothy Dix Says

The way of a man with a maid
has always been ranked along with
the riddle of the Sphinx, why a hen
crosses a road, which came first, the
egg or the chicken and the other
mysteries which no one could solve.
Now the bobby -sockers have tossed
a new conundrum into the guessing
game. They want to know why the
GI Joes, who are just returning from
the war, are so girl shy They say
that it is harder now to wangle a
date, when men are plentiful and
you would think they could be had
for the taking, than it was in the
days when they were as scarce as
hens teeth and a girl had to be a
knockout as locker and be super
saleswoman to get one.
They say they can't understand
why the lads who had the courage
to face the enemy in battle have
turned fraidy cats who are scared
to look into a pair of blue eyes, and
flee like startled fawns from the
very sight of a skirt
For" say these girls, "our inten-
tions are honorable. We mean the
boys no harm. We are not attempt
ing to capture them and drag them
to the altar. We are just fed up
with feminine society and would
like little masculine company for
a change. We are tired of dancing
with other girls and going to dove
parties and we just crave the thrill
Of having plenty of dates and STEP
ping out with something masculine
that isn't grandpa or little brother
and having good times like we used
to before the war.
But does this happen? I should
say not. So far as we can see, the
returning veterans have taken to the
tall timber, or are hiding behind
mama's skirts, and we girls are still
beauleSs and dateless."
Well. daughters, several explana-
tions may be offered for the boys

Adopted Children
By A ngeio Pafyi

Many children are adopted each
day; therefore, word to those who
are considering taking these chill
dren into their hearts and homes
may not come amiss. These chill
dren bring certain problems not
aroused by ones own children.
Is it wise to tell these children
that they are adopted? Very wise
Not to do SO as soon as possible
is a grave mistake. Secrets never
are kept. Someone always knows,
and that person is likely to talk at
the most inopportune time. Head
him off-tell the youngster your
self. 1t has been found that by
keeping something, that belonged
in the child's life before adoption,
keeping it where he could see it
daily, helped him to understand
that he has not always been men,
ber of his present home. Some
thing that belonged to his mother
something brought from the hos
pital or the home where he lived,
will do; picture, a toy, a bit OF
clothing, anything from his past
will carry the message.
I like the idea of one society In
charge Of adoptions that tells the
mother to say, But you are my own
choice, you see. Other mothers had
to take the child they got and had
nothing to say about the kind of
child he was to be- I loved you on
sight and picked you out of all the
babies in the nursery. You are a
