L.C.-My son is is home from ser
vice after two and half years.
He wants me to deed him part
of my property so that he can
build a house with the aid of
G. |. Loan. Should | turn over all
my property to him or the small
plot he requested?
Ans:-Deed him the plot that he
wants with some additional land
if you like, but maintain the bulk
of your property yourself. It is
not good business to turn over
all of your holdings right now.
Draw up a will and make him
heir to your estate but as long as
you live, manage your own at
fairs.

B. NJ. S.-My husband was real
nice to me when I was sick and
shut-in but somehow he has
changed so much lately He used
to kiss me goodbye when he
came back from work but he has
stopped. Did he change because
found two girls pictures in his
pocket? He promised me he
wouldn't do that nay more.
Ans:-That entered in to it al
right. Too much outside duty
makes a fellow lose interest in
his home work and that's for sure
You're in the drivers seat and
you can lure him back to your
nest by being the same sweet lit
tie mink that you were when you
married. II he doesn't make any
affectionate advances you take
the lead It will pay dividends.

Here S How To
Can Tomatoes

Tomato time is here and toma-
toes are the fayorite among home
canned vegetables.
Tomatoes can be handled one
0: two ways in canning-packed
either raw or hot into glass; jars
before processing. Recent expert
lnents show that when they're
packed raw, tomatoes hold color
and shape better. There's one ad-
vantage in the hot-pack, however
More tonatoes can be put into
each jan.
It's important to remember that
if tomatoes are not heated suffi-
GENTLY in canning, they won't keep
in storage. The times recommend
ed for processing tomatoes in the
water-bath Gamer r based on
the food being prepared and
packed as indicated.
Only perfect, ripe tomatoes
should be used. Dip them into boil
ing water for about half a monute,
to loosen the skins - then dip
quickly into cold water. Cut out
the stem ends and peel.
HOT PACK
Quarter the peeled tomatoes;
bring to boil stirring often. Pack
hot in hot glass jars to IL inch of
top. Add IL teaspoon salt to pints;
l teaspoon to quarts. Adjust jar
lids. Process either pint or quart
jars of tomatoes in boiling water
bath 10 minutes. AS soon as jars
are removed from Gamer, COM
plete seals if closures are not selm-
sealing type.
COLD PACK
Leave tomatoes whole, or cut in
halves or quarters. Pack tomatoes
to - inch of top, pressing gently
to fill spaces. Add no water. Add
IL teaspoon salt to pints; l tea
spoon to quarts. Adjust jar lids.
Have water in Gamer hot but not
boiling, to prevent breakage. Heat
to boiling. Process in boiling
water bath-pint jars of tomatoes
IS minutes; quart jars As minutes.
AS soon as jars r removed from
Gamer, complete seals if closures
are not self-sealing type.

Splendor Of Past Shows Up
In Parish Fashions For Fall

elegantes from the Naughty Nine
ties up to World War 1.
Molyneux goes back to the 1905
for inspiration. Several of his
ultra formal evening frocks in
clude period gowns evocative of
18th century portraits. These fea-
ture billowing skirt fitness over
the hips and deep pointed waist
effects at the back and front, and
are worn with Topped pearl head
dresses draped over the brow.
Gay '9Os flavor is evidenced in
Maggy Rouff's collection by her
use of graduated bands of velvet
or deep hens of contrasting fab
ric, ball fringe trimming, dust
ruffles and pleated Or gathered
berthas in both formal daytime
and evening outfits. The swinging
bell skirt is the leit-motif Of all OF
this designers daytime costumes
except strictly functional sports
toys.
Lucien Lelong's town coats are
reminiscent of the 1920's with
swinging skirts often banded in
fur, cape collars and waist long
capes. In the main, however, this
designers silhouette is inspired by
proud figureheads. Women dress
ed by Lelong this winter will liter
ally trail clouds of glory behind
them, as all fulness OF decorative
effects is massed back from a dip
ping waistline.
Schiaparelli foresees a winter
wherein elegance will reign SUI
preme down to the smallest de-
tail. She revives the chemise trock
and untitled redingote often com
pleted by double or tripple-tiered
capes. Evening gowns are of Di-
rectolre inspiration.
Jean Desses, who since the lib
GRAFTON has worked himself Up tc
the big name bracket and now
dresses ladies of the Egyptian
court, introduces styles reminis-
cent o. the first 20 years Of the
century. Busles, peplums, peg
top and barrel skirts, however, ex-
hibit a definite 1947 air, thanks
to sublcties Of modern cut.
Jean Patou bridges the present
t%ransitory period Of fashions with
skirts tnat just cover the calves,
restrained skirt fitness and Shout
derlines that are still padded.
Asymetrical movement HI trim

gushing characteristic of his col

PARIS-(NEA) . Fall collec.
TONS which rival record prewar

splendor to inspirations Cleaned
from the past. Undistur5ed by
reports that New York is asserting
a claim to fashion leadership,
Paris. fashion cars are set to
prove that dress = designing su-
premacye still stems from the
"City of Light"
Fashions Of past eras are re-
vived by leading houses. Those OF
the 1905, for example,, have in
spired many OF Christian Dior's
models. His collection, said to
have cost almost 5000, 600 francs,
strikes a high note of opulence
with such embellishments as
smoked diamond revers, pearl
iewelry, tortoise . shell necklaces,
clips, hair slides and heavy Jewell
ry embroidery. Fur trimmings are
also lavish. Dior's town coats Oft
en- show a Cossack influence in
full-swinging skirts andfur-banded
hens.
Hats, importantly stressed in
this collection, revive the dash Of
Prince DaHilo's Of merry Widow
fame. Worn tilted over the right
ear, these are shown with side
swept hair-do's.
jacques Faiths suits are often
reminiscent of 18th century pages
uniforms. Extravagant use Of fur
trimmings On suits and coats and
opulent embroidery on evening
gowns reflect the new feeling for
lavishness.
Fashions OF the early 190O's are
revived by Pierre Balmain. Typi-
cal Of this era are high collars
often edged with lace, torsaded
pearl necklaces entwined in neck
erchlefs which tie at the base of
the Ahroat. Also revived are wide
trailing tulle s~carfs, wrap-around
barrel-shaped coats, deep fur
collars.
One of the highlights of this col
lection is tartan ski shorts worn
with a loose red wool sweater,
heavy white wool hose with tar.

We the Women
BY RUTH

Suppose the men who manu-
facture mems clothes put theil
heads together and decided te
yank men out of the conventional.
business suit and put. 'em into
tWo-piece slack suits for all occa'
sions. And suppose a couple O.
mems magazines arbitrarily set a
dead-line on the time men had
to conform to the new fashion
edict, or else be labeled back
numbers. What do you suppose
the men would do?
Would they rant and rave and
end up by tossing their ole suits
away and buying all new suits:
Would they hang onto the old
business suits, but buy n or two
of the new slack suits for special
occasions, such as the day they
planned to ask the boss for a
raise, take the new secretary to
lunch, CT see their banker about
a loan?
Or would they get together ano
form clubs with the membership
pledged not to be caught dead in
a slack suit?
Well, those are the three ways
in which women are meeting the
style verdict that has been hand.
ed them.
And all three solutions of the
long-skirt problem are just as
silly for women as they would be
for men, if anyone dared tell men
they had to make a radical style
change whether they wanted to or
not.
What the men would do, of
course, would be to laugh them
selves sick at the idea of any
body trying to tell them what to
wear.
But not women. Their minds
don't work like that. That's max
ing a problem too simple to be
any fun.
