HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Bv Mary Ann KnoWit

Now that Easter has pas
-sed and we are quite familiar
with all 0. the Spring fashions
our thoughts are now turn
ing to the Summer ones. This
week, | want to concentrate
on the summers footwear for
it's very interesting this year
and for lose of us that 60
bare legg q. will be extrem-
ely excll.iis. For the past two
years we nave noticed each
They seem d odd az H. st, but
now the II. have found that
they are Ju [ tie things to be
worn 'oeneath their long sum
men skirts. We must reme1n-
Der, however, that to get that
attractive look in these sand
ais, we must first remove the
ha'r from our legs and apply
th- correct ss-ade of leg make
up. another thing we mustn't
folgel is that our toe-nalls
mus be cared for as well as
our lin ,ernails, and If we use
nail polish If should be shade
thai olen4s with your costume.
The viii be in the shoe shop
nbeauIi god and silver
KID, black suece, and also III
floral p ints. / will inform
you now that in the finest sh-
oe shops these adorable sand
ais VII cot you from seven
to fifteen dollars a pair, so |
suggest that you make them
at home. This sandal of which
| write has narrow criss-cros-
sed straps that begin at the
toe and wind very uniquely
lid to the ankle. You may
make strapes to 60 with every
dress or skirt you have. Your
shoemaker will put leather

desire. | have the pattern to
1nese sandals and for complete

Ladies, hee is something
that most Of us are guilty OF
and | think that it is high time
that that we put stop to it.
We not only spoil our own -ap-
pearances, but we create un-
favorable impressions to the
people who visit our homes.
How many times have you
come in from church, party,
or club meeting and immed-
lately change into an old dress
that you don't mind soiling
viii e preparing the family's
meal? And how many of us tie
our heads up in an old piece
of cloth and put on the most
tattered. dress in our closet
when we are doing our gener-
al house-cleaning? Then, on
how many occasions have we
had to apologize for our ap-
pearances when an unexpect-
ed guest, a relative or the in
surance collector dropped in?
They will naturally accept
your apology, but they do not
forget it. Now, i say that the
common belief that the only
way we can save our incest
clothes is by changing them
as soon as we get home is abb
solutely an unjustifiable one.
l suggest that you have aprons
for all occasions. And that you
rot dash and buy them, but
make them yourself right at
home. For heavy cleaning
jumpers made of creton with
all-over cap for the hair will
not only improve your appear
ance while doing heavy-clean-
ing, but will last longer than
one Of your old dresses. Take
yous old dresses and make ap-
rons to slip over your nicer
dresses. If an unexpected per-
son calls you merely slip off
the apron, take last minute
look at your hair and when
you open the door you are ut
terly charming. We, as women
always want TO look nice, but
we sometimes find it hard
while doing household tasks.
IF you will put my suggestion
into practice, guarantee you
that you will need no apologies
and will make a favorable inn
preston when visitors call. II

all kinds of aprons, write to

anrnns for all occasions
