I was reminded of this at the
World Series. The man who wasn't

time parking his car within a mile
of Shibe Park or Yankee Stadium.
He had a heck of a time getting
cab, and the cab had to drop him
half mile from the stadium II
he was to get there on time for
the ball game. And what did he
see when he reached Shibe Park
or Yankee Stadium? Scores OF
limousines parked where no other
cars were allowed to park-within
10 feet of the entrance gates. No
use for me to tell you to whom
these cars belonged. They carried
politicians, most of whom had po-
lice escorts and were able to breeze
through the World Series traffic as
if they were the holy of holies.

From Mrs. c. r. p. Arlinstonl
For Mrs. r. q. D.. Arlington.
Portable versus standard ironers.
About q year ago I bought . port
able ironer influenced Cd by its
cost Of about $50 against 500
and up for the standard models.
and ca by the fact that I have
no regular laundry room or ade-
quate kitchen space for keeping
a cabinet ironer. The portable
has been very satisfactory and
saves great deal of time and
fatigue In ironing but when and
II have more room for equip
ment hope to exchange 1t for
a larger model.
Even a portable must be kept
some place and If you store 1t in
a rather crowded closet as I do
you may find that the moving
OF a great many things is involved
every time you want to get it out.
Portables are not particularly
light weight in spite Of their name.
Then there Is the problem of
where to set the ironer while
ironing. I use mine on a desk
but it does not give me much
space for folding. I have seen
ironer stands and chairs of the
correct height for use with port
ables and If you have room for
one Of these. Of course. the above
criticisms wouldn't hold true. II
you do decide on the portable,
however. I'd suggest you get one
with knee control to allow you
the use of both hands in guiding
your ironing.
Whichever type ironer you de-
eide upon I'm sure you will love
1t and wonder how you ever lived
without it. Before I got mine 1t
seemed as If / always had a bas-
ket Of clothes waiting to be ironed
and now I am through in about
