The effect of war on the women
of Great Britain, her far-f1ung
dominions and how its impact has
stimulated feminine interest in a
variety of fields continuing to ex-
pand in postwar days was the SUBJ
ject of a panel discussion yester-
day at the Washington Club.
Chairmaned by Miss Joan Bur-
bridge. Third Secretary of the Brit
ish Embassy, the panel included
Mrs. Niblock- Stuart, wife of the
Military Attache of the South Afri-
can Legation; Mrs. G. r. Powles,
wife of the First Secretary of the

of Australia, now on his way to
Greece and Yugoslavia as service
advisor to the U. N. Commission,
and Miss Lilias Savage, representa-
tive of the National Film Board
of the Canadian Embassy.
Although women share with men
a common interest in national mat
ters, their interest is primarily in
the home and community" Miss
Burbridge explained, land we will
therefore consider some Of these
special interests.
Covering subjects ranging from
food to women's opportunities in
professional fields, the discussion
revealed how Canadian women
helped combat food boarding; how
New Zealand's advanced health pro-
grams have reduced infant NOR
tality in that country to the lowest
in the world; how many Australian
women are remaining in factories
greatly improved during the war,
furnishing day nurseries for work
ing mothers, ard special comforts
unknown before the war; and how
the professional women of South
Africa came into their own" dur
ing the war.
Speaking for South Africa, Mrs.
a doctor of medi-

THINGS TO MAKE AND DO)
BEADS MADE OF
SEAIING WAX
SEALING WAX

Sealing wax is a most interest
ing craft material, and it is easy
to handle. In this article we shall
show you how to make wax
beads.
For molding the heated wax we
need, in addition to the sticks of
sealing wax, all alcohol lamp, a
wax spatula, wax molder, a
small palette knife and a few
steel knitting needles of various
sizes. A tumbler of water will al
so be convenient to cool the tools
and beads, or to moisten the fin
gers. When working with hot wax
it is a good plan to use a piece
of glass on top of the table where
the work is done. Then if any
hot wax happens to drop on the
table, it will not injure the finish.
We must first select the colocs
OF wax that we are to use. Then
heat the blade of a steel knife
and cut off pieces of wax about
the size desired for the finished
bead; a piece IL inch long is the
average size. For large beads, cut
off 2 inches.
Heat steel knitting needle,
over an alcoho. lamp about two
inches from the point (figure D..
When two pieces of wax are used
for one bead, press each piece

against the Viennese and Hun
garian teams.
In commenting on the hand
Mrs. Anderson said that the near
situation might have presented ;
guess to some players, but Mr
Burns simply counted the hani
down and eliminated the guess.
The opponents cashed the frs
two diamond tricks, and West ther
switched to the queen of clubs
Dummy's king won this trick; de
clarer returned to his hana with
( trump and rutfed his last dia
mond in dummy with the king O.
t1umps.
Dummy's jack CT spades picked
up the rest Of the outstanding
trumps, the ace of clubs wa:
cashed and club ruffed in Burns
hand, East showing out.
Now Burns started to count. He
knew that West had had five
clubs, and he must have had five
diamonds for his overcall. He haC
also shown up with two trurps.
Therefore, he could have only one
heart and there was no heart
guess.
Burns laid down the king q
hearts, knowing that if West had
the queen, it would be single
ton. Then he safely took the heart
finesse, making five-odd for top
on the board.

Many of those holding down
selling jobs have no real expert

if a clerk had what the customer
wanted, all he had to do was say,
"If you want it, you'd better buy
it now. We may not have another

But if they are to hold their

Iheat the ends Of the sticks OF
wax; dot on the cool bead. Hold
the bead over the flame and re-
volve slowly. The wax when heat
ed will flow around the bead, in
termingling and forming attrac-
tive designs. Cool again and dry.
To remove the bead from the
needle, hold it over the flame at
the back Of the bead and again
at the front (do not let the flame
come in contact with the bead
itself until you can turn the
needle in the bead. Turn just once
and pull the bead off quickly. If
the hole is not clean-cut, slide
the bead back and forth on The
needle two or three times, then
slip off.
In addition to round Or oval
beads, many fancy shapes may be
made. but while it is still warm
enough to be plastic, it may be
flattened On both sides by press
ing first one side and then the
other on a piece Of glass. Irregu-
lar and fancy beads are shaped
by making indentations with the
heated point of the molder.
Sealing-wax beads may be
strung on close row, but it is
more effective to string them on
cord or ribbon with spaces be-
tween them. A knot is usually tied
above and below each bead to
keep it in place.
