PLASTIC TABLECLOTH?
SAVING BUTTONS

From Mrs. G. s., Hyattsuille.)
I have d lovely howered plastic
tablecover which was given to me,
but have been unable to use it as
it has a peculiar odor, rather like
that of bananas or shoe polish, and
when this cloth is on the table the
odor permeateS the whole room.
I've tried washing it with soap and
water, and hanging it in the shade
to. air, but the odor remains. Can
any one tell me how to eliminate
this?
Here is a hint on saving buttons:
I take the longest invisible hairpins
and string buttons of one pattern
or color on each hairpin. Just twist
the ends together to fasten. A large
safety pin will hold a few buttons
of kind. Keep this collection OF
buttons in a separate box and they
will not become entangled as but
tons strung on string, etc. I keep
all odd buttons zone of kind and
and SUCH in a clear glass pickle jar,
l.
tons, and when they are needed, as a
set for a dress or coat, or to replace
lost buttons, they are easily seen in
the box or jar and easily removed.

Shawls - knitted, crocheted. or
fashioned out of woolen fabrics,
including. Army blankets-are cur
rently travelling from Boston to
London. In a recent issue of the
Christian Science Monitor is a story
of the effort, on the part of Bos-
tonians, to put warm shawl over
the knees or the shoulders of some
elderly person or invalid"
The Boston movement is being
led by Church World Service, the
English speaking Union, and civic
organizations, and hopes to en-
courage the sending of 10000 shawls
in time to reach England BY
Christmas. The Women's Voluntary
Services of England has declared the
need great, especially among the
aged, for the fuelless winter, fast
becoming traditional in Europe, is
once more reality.
Some women have dyed blankets
white articles are not practical
cutting them to size, and finishing
the edges with a row of crocheting
A local department store has a
stock of Army blankets on hand
which are reported good for this
purpose. Afghans-any pattern, size
or color-are also very much ir

or discarding an item or two, but
the new look" can be had for
whereabouts. Our model is shown
wearing clothes that are available
in Washington and shows them
against the backgrounds in which
career girls live their daily lives.
Getting to work in winter means
being dressed warmly and fashion
ably. Once at work the neatness
that is required in her business Is
also her guide to what she will wear
in the office. After 5 her time
is her own, to dress and do as she
likes. It. might be attending the
symphony at Constitution Hall, it
might be meeting Tom, Dick or
Harry for a dinner date, or it might
be going to an office party.
Fashionwise clothes need not be
expensive. At the same time if you
are a wise shopper you will find
clothes that do something for you,
are not f1ashy and will stand up
under the daily going to and from
YOUR business office.

Planning well-balanced life.
seems to be one of the most difficult
things to do. If person has strong
interests and is eager and enthu-
siastic, he is apt to become onesided
along those lines n he is negative
and disinterested individual he will
not take the trouble to plan at all.
We are likely to possess the faults
which go along with our virtues, or
visa versa.

and physical activity, work and play.
service to others and service to self
by indulging in personal tastes and
self 1t must have
spiritual values and yet be practical
It must have gayety and seriousness.
companionship with others and time
alone!
In balancing work and mental
activity against physical exercise
we discover one Of the most neg
lected, and yet most important,
boons to man or woman. There Is
no antidote for mental and emo
tional strain which is half so beni-
fetal as physical exercise. After
day at the Office one does not feel
like exercise but would be wonder
fully refreshed if it were indulged
in. You actually have to try this
in order to believe it. Tension and
fatigue will drop off miraculously.
What kind of exercise one should
take depends on individual taste and
condition. You may wish to combine
play and physical exercise. If you
have badminton court in your
yard this may be the answer. When
this game is played expertly 1t is
very violent exercise. The middle
aged man and woman should not
indulge in it unless they have trained
regularly. However, badminton
doubles are not strenuous as played
by the average person.
Perhaps you may prefer ping<pong,
or swimming, or walking. If you are
not situated so you can indulge In
any of these talthough walking is
always available) your answer may
be a few simple relaxing exercises.
These are most helpful to the person
who suffers from insomnia. No mat
ter what kind of exercise you choose,
do include some kind in each day.
Otherwise you are overlooking a
great reservoir of energy and health,

Mrs. M. S. requested recipe for

taken from Child Life" and is very
good and lasts a long time.
One-half cup laundry starch. "a

Z cup talcum powder mot essen
tial but adds professional glaze) ;.
Mix starch with y cup of water
until dissolved, then add rest. Cook
indoors, over low fire until thick,
stirring constantly. Stir in soap
fakes and talcum. This makes al
most one pint. Divide into three
or four parts and add different
coloring, using poster show card
paints, ordinary water colors OF
bluing, very thick in little water
Color mixture fairly dark for best
results. Can be kept in small jars
in cool place. Il use show card
paints successfully
For painting. use glazed paper,
bond typewriting paper or shelf
paper for large pieces, work over
newspapers on table or bench. Wet
plain paper with cloth, then spread
on a quarter to a teaspoonful of
paint depending on size of paper :.
Use palms of hands for spreading
palms, fingers and finger nails to
make different designs. If dis
satisfied, smooth paint and begin
again. See what you can do! The
paint is easily washed off hands and
clothes. Our children and the
neighbors' children have spent
many happy hours with this.
To Mrs. c. A. S., Washington: I
was very much impressed by our
suggestions regarding the "wakeful
child" and particularly by the one
recommending keeping comics and
| horror movies from the child's view.
Most particularly impressive, how
ever, was the idea that the child
should be taught to pray and rely
on God. This and great affection
should give the child the sense OF
security he seems to lack.
