John caught her arm and drew
her close to him. Her nearness in

added, laughing trifle shakily
at this melodramatic statement,

thought John, but he rose to the
occasion and said with all the
gallantry he could muster on
such short notice:
"You don't have to worry,

She drew away from him, once

John Bates. Didn't I just tell. you

She hadn't told him that-not
precisely. But John was little
relieved. He'd sooner marry Susan
than anybody, he reflected. He
liked her whole followed her,
in fact. However. he wasn't get
ting married to anybody, if it was
humanity possible to keep from it.
He wanted to 60 places and do

Hand in hand they walked in

thoughts. Susan was thinking:
Hes sweet. He'll make some
girl fine husband. Too bad I'm
not interested IN marriage" s.
And John Bates was thinking:
Good grief. that was narrow
escape! Maybe I'd better scram-

colored garments to remain rolled
up in damp towels. Hang on a
wooden hanger and dry in the
shade.
In general, all heavy garments
should be washed in lukewarm
water and rich suds. Wool should
not be soaked. It's good idea to
use a small handbrush on stub
born dirt. Blotting up water in a
heavy towel keeps the weight of
the water from stretching the gar
ment and hastens drying.
THE SAME technique can be
used on gabardine, byrd cloth and
similar fabrics, but they can take
a good healthy scrubbing without
any harm.
Corduroys are washed much the
same way. The best way to keep
the nap uncrushed--and to avoid
ironing-is to hang the corduroy
up dripping wet. If you want the
garment to dry faster, knead in
a towel. Very heavy-wale cordu-
roy can be put through a loose
wringer.
Once dry, corduroy can be made
TO look like new by brushing with

do so. on the right side with a

Since corduroy takes to dye like

You don't have to bother boiling.
Uniting in lukewarm water does
just as well, but you have to work
fast because corduroy's loose pile
takes color quickly.
Corduroy hats also take well to
washing, though if they have burk-
ram Innings, it's better not to soak
them but to wash over a bowl
using brush. All you have to do
to make sure that the hat dries in
the correct size is find bowl to
fit and pull it over it. Berets dry
to size if stretched over plate.

Wet shoes
need care

SWEET shoes deserve prompt
treatment, but it's mistake to
put tension shoe trees in them
while they are still wet" says
Miss Edna Gray, clothing special
list, University of Illinois College
of Agriculture.
Stuffing wet shoes with paper
or absorbent cloth will help to
dry them and maintain their shape.
Shoe trees, however, tend to
stretch wet leather out of shape.
The sooner wet shoes can be
dried, the better. Wearing them
while they are, damp pulls them
out of shape and may break the
leather. Dry them slowly away
from heat.
Saddle soap will help to put the
shoes back into condition. After
saddle-soaping them, rub in little
sulfonated castor oil, which is
usually available at the corner
drugstore. 1t helps to soften the
leather. Use only as much as the
leather will absorb, however, OF
the shoes will be difficult to
polish.

put the garments into the tub.
AS matter of fact, some spots
are set by soap and water. It's
a good idea to get them out before
you start washing.
Use turpentine on paint; car
bon tetrachloride on chewing gum,
adhesive tape or grease. Ether or
denatured alcohol is good for grass
stains. Ice cream or milk should
be sponged off with water.
IF the fabric is not guaranteed
fast-color, remove white or light
colored trimmings and test the
belt or pocket side in glass of
warm water.
If the color runs, wash quickly
and separately, squeeze out water
and place on an old turkish towel
inside and outside the garment.
Roll up quickly to get out excess
water and unron at once.
It's not a good idea TO allow

To hold the stuffing in place, cut
heavy paper the shape of the cav
ity and 1s inch larger. Tuck the
paper edge under the skin.
Then lace across the paper with
heavy cord and a large, sharp
needle. Catch the skin with each
stitch. This helps to pull the skin
over most of the meat and bone.

The quarter should be roasted
skin side up. Place it on rack
in an open roasting pan. Brush
the skin with fat or cover with a
cloth dipped in melted fat. Roast
at 325oF.
Roasting time depends on the
size of the quarter and the part
of the bird from which it is
taken. 1t will vary from about 40
to so minutes a pound. Generally
speaking, smaller roasts require
more minutes per pound, and
rear quarter requires more min
