Could bleach my skin?"
A. You do not inherit just from
your parents, but from those back Of
your parents. I don't see why you
worry about it because most people
find dark men most handsome and
attractive. I imagine that yours
is just a natural olive skin. Keep
Iup plenty of outdoor sports and
exercise and sleep and don't worry.
Be thankful you haven't pimples.
Many boys your age do have.

it'll create excited comment!
THE SCARF STOCKING CAP,
come balmy days. will carry on
where the wool winter stocking cap
left of. If you listen carefully
here's bit of magic that,l go to
your head via big cotton and silk
squares, and, provided the effect
suits you. you'll wear 'em with every
thing. Here again-you must have
a good, big scarf. Run one side
Of the scarf across your fine white
brow and knot 1t tight in the back
Now you have the end of the scarf
trailing over your shoulders and
down back. Reach around and
gather this in one hand. Hold 1t
as you would something column
shaped. Pull this over one shoul-
der. Now, tie this into one great
knot, drop and let dangle. Presto!
There's your stocking cap!
Why not match this canine cap
with a SASH DONE WITH A
SCARF? Simply buy two matching
scarves-and crush the second into a
girdle. Wrap it round your waist
and knot In back. The end will flare
out on both sides in a way that
makes you look as pretty going as
coming! This sash trick, however,
done with a taffeta scarf, works out
to the best advantage. II you love
the perky little hustle effect in back,
this you can have with taffeta
scarf sash. Simply loop the ends
Of the scarf, one over the other
The taffeta will hustle of its own
accord, it's such wonderful RUSTY,
stiff material. II you want extra
fullness and FLIP behind, run a shir-
ring thread across the scarf where
the loop-over comes. This gathers
up the fullness and holds it there
for sure!
Speaking of shirring up scarves
II you have the interest of scarf
magic enough at heart to get out
a needle and thread as props, you
can match up your sash with a

IRONING NYLON.
QUERIES?

(Front Mrs. W. i. L., Washington. J
I'd like to add my two cents worth
to the replies about ironing para
chute reject" nylon. I've had two
sad experiences with the material.
Our living room curtains were the
first mistake. They looked lovely
when first hung but after their first
washing, they were pretty sad. I
tried everything, ironing dry, ironing
wet, cool iron, hot iron, even
stretching on a curtain stretcher.
Nothing took the wrinkles out, but
I hung them up anyway and left
them until they were dirty again.
This last time I got a brainstorm
and decided to try little starch.
used the new liquid starch, q light
solution and let them dry thorough
ly. Then I didn't sprinkle them, I
wet them. Just stuck them under
the faucet and got them good and
wet all over and went to work with
moderate iron. It isn't easy, as wet
starch sticks, but it's well worth the
trouble. treat nylon blouse which
was given to me in the same manner
and this is even more difficult, with
ruf11es and puff sleeves, but it's the
only thing I've discovered that
makes the material usable.
There is fabric made up into
blouses and possibly sold by the
yard, too, which Is also called para
chute nylon," but which is much
easier to do up. Don't know how you
could tell them apart unless you
had seen both, but this other fabric
can be ironed with a cool iron
when practically dry and comes out
looking brand-new.
I also have a request or two. I
have a pair Of those super comfort
able Mexican huaraches, but mine
are about a half size too large so
that they won't stay on very well.
Does any one know of a way to
shrink them? I have thought of boil
ing them as there's no glue used in
their construction, but thought I'd
consult RICH first.
Does any one have a recipe for
those wonderful egg or pork rolls
served in most of the better Chinese
restaurants here? I think they're
delicious but haven't the slightest
idea how to go about making them.

had no success whatever in
keeping our girls hair out of their
eyes until resorted to rubber bands.
By careful saving we got all through
the war with just a handful. The
smallest ones make a less bulky
binding than the larger bands. Tie
hair ribbon so as to conceal 1T.
Some hair is broken of by the rub
ber bands Of course, but not enough
to matter. Our girls wear their
straight hair parted on the left side
and gathered with the band and a
Bow on the right side, but center
part is just as feasible, and even to
secure pigtails, rubber bands are
handiest.
Catching Pants Pockets: Prob
ably no woman welcomes the news

the easiest solution is to use the
mending tape that is pressed on

just the thing for mending frayed

for awkward corners and angles.

FEEDING BABY.
(From Mrs. T. J. OH, Washington.
For Mrs. e. H. r., Falls Church,
Va: When my baby was sleeping

day He had his breakfast when he
awakened and his lunch at about IL
or 1880. Since he was still on
bottle, he had extra milk at about 3,
and his evening meal at $50 or 6.
This schedule worked very success
fully. May suggest you give your
baby his daily orange juice before
breakfast on the days he wakes up
at 6? That might serve to carry
him over until the regular breakfast

Big Tom Casagrande was hot yes- terday, as he pitched two hit ball to hand his Ansonia High combine a ' to 2 decision over Bill Tracy's Tech Tigers, at the Municipal Sta dium. The two lone hits given up by the "Redhead" were a one base clout to Joe Aufiero in the first in- ming and a single to catcher Bart Daly in ninth frame.
 This defeat dropped Lesvenworth to fifth place in the Valley League standings, behind Naugatuck who is in the fourth slot. It was the third defeat in seven league starts for the Tracymen who are very weak in the pitching department.
 Leavenworth and Ansonia knotted the count two all in the last of the first frame and NardozN and Casa grande worked easily until the fifth stanza when the local hurler was nicked for three hits and the de- ciding runs scored.
 Bob Bryce, Bill Manley and Frank CaSalvieri led the Lavendar attack, which exploded in the fifth frame, while Daly and Aufiero did the only hitting for the Tech Tigers. Leav- enworth's Jim Piersall was blanked without a hit in this crucial con- test. The score:

 From first game observation, Washington Hills, Tribunes, Sacred Hearts and Aviglianese shapes up as strong teams that will be tough to take. In Joe Miller, the Hills have pitcher who will win most of his games at Hamilton Park for the Hills; which is also true of Pezzulo. In Ray CDizzy) Decker, the Avigli- anese also have plenty of pitcher, while the B. A. C.'s naoundsman, Dizenso looks capable enough.
