TIPS OF THE TRADE.
By KAY VAUGHN

NEW YORK CITY-FOR THE
CAREER GIRL - Don't be the
"Wilted" gal this summer when
steaming weather beats down on
your cottons and organizes,
Simple remedies range from at
taching small sachet to your
blouse to taking two to three
showers day. But for excess
sive perspirationy use a IS per
cent solution of aluminium chlor-
ide in distilled water. Apply the
preparation once every second
or third day for the first week
and once week for several
weeks after. Let the application
dry thoroughly before putting on
your clothes.
FOR THE TEENAGER = If
you're suffering from the thought
that you have too-thin lips and
crave the "alIuring" kind the
boys find kissable, then be more
careful with your lipstick color
choice. Find the most f1atter-
ing shade for you if you have
to experiment all night, Then,
to give fullness, extend the color
to the edges and go little be-
yond, but do 1t artistically. Blot
well ahd you'll see a difference.
On the other hand, if you pos
sess too-full lips, thin them down
by not reaching the natural OUT
line in applying your color. But
again, take good time in choos-
ing a hattering shade.
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Good
news in beauty soaps is here
It's a cream soap which fits In
the palm of your hand and re-
| leases the right amount Of lather
It's main claim to fame Is that
it protects your skin against dry
/ ing effects of wind and sun. This
lotion-like soap is dispensed via
a plastic eontainer modelled in
soap-cake form. A magic but
ton fitting snugly in soap-cakt
center does the trick, the extra
lanolin and other softening oils
/ are massaged into the hand do
ing double duty job on both
hands and face.

You Leo.born are an exultant
lot, and the roar of a lion echoes In.
your makeup. The summer sun
may overcome other people, but its
brightness stirs up your originality
and is reflected in everything you
do. When celebrations are in or
der. you strive for the unique, but
always use the simplest method
possible to achieve this effect,
Along the refreshment line, for
example, this Coconut Peach Birth
day Pie is just the sort Of inspira-
ton you Akel You know that fresh
peaches are now at the peak OF
their golden juicy goodness, And
you know, too, that birthday pie
is different from the usual birthday
cake. You know how simple It is
to use prepared vanilla pudding
for the creamy base and you APP
preciate the fact that It will taste
extra delicious with the addition OF
orunchy toasted coconut. Fresh
peaches are folded into slightly
thickened orange-favored gelatin,
which holds them together and
adds flavor and color.
A real blessing in hot weather Is
the refrigerator graham cracker
crust, as easy as pie to make. To
top it all off, garnish this Birthday
Pie with mounds Of whipped cream
and toasted coconut and surround
1t with candles. Here's birthday
tribute that you Leos will love to
receiye-or will love to make for
someone else.

Question: My mouse is pullt o.
cinder block, and is covered with
rust spots. There are three coat!
of cement base paint on the block
Do you know of a product which
would keep these rust spots from
bleeding through? I have
thought of stuccoing the block
How would I get the stucco tx
hold? The paint has sealed al
the pores in the block. In spots
the rust has faxed off the surface
to a depth of rs inch. Would
stucco break out like this?
Answer: I agree with you the
pores of the block have been filled
and the surfaces are not open fol-
stucco job. but you can put UP
self furring metal lath and then
apply the stucco. I might make
the suggestion that you coat the
walls with a rubber base masonry
paint.
When using this kind of paint
make certain that the walls are
perfectly dry. otherwise peeling
may occur. The mere fact that
the surfaces of the blocks may
appear dry will not mean that
they are thoroughly dry. Allow at
least a week for drying after
heavy rainfall.
Space for Cold Air Vents.
Question:: My husband is finish
ing off a room upstairs and can
not find a space '(or two spaces)
for cold air vents. The builder is
out of the city, and we can de-
cipher nothing that we can use
from the house plans. After sew
eral "tappings,' all we have is a
hole in one closet ceiling, or 2 x 4
distractions. Can you advise?
Answer: If you have no objec-
ton to calling in the plumber or
heating contractor who worked
on the house, he should be able
to put his finger on the right spot
He may even be able to "read" the
plans, You can ascertain the size
of the space between the studs by
measuring the distances between
them.
This can be done at the edges
of the basement ceiling. You can
then measure the distance from
the corner of the attic to approx
imately the space you want fol
the duct.
Non-Skid for Carpeting.
Question: We have carpet run
ners of the same material thai
the carpeting is made of. The run
ners, which are between doorways
keep moving and will not stay ir
place. We don't wish to use tacks
We bought some rubber which we

you suggest how I may remedy
this situation?
Answer: At large rug store Of

partment store. you should have
no trouble in finding what you

two, three or four Of these open
work panels. They are attached
with plain hinges. The hinges
should be on opposite sides Of the
panels so that the assembly will
fold up and be easy to carry from
one place to the other. Two coats
of white paint and you have q
distinct and welcome addition to
your lawn or porch.
The idea of having a half-inch
space between the cross-pieces or
an open space beneath the side
frame pieces is to promote air
circulation and prevent the area
sheltered by the screen from be-
coming too hot.
Some of the high-priced as
semblies have rollers on the
frames so that they may be moved
with ease. and there is nothing to
prevent the amateur carpenter
from boring a hole in the frame
legs and inserting the regular fur
niture-leg casters. This, how
ever, is unnecessary as the pockets
are light enough to be moved
around by any half-grown child.
There is no limit to the width
or height of sunpockets. but the
dimensions given are the best and
two two-leaf units will be enough
to satisfy average requirements.

underneath the rug. There is also
a special rubbery fabric that car

The store may also have a specia
adhesive coating to brush on the
back Of the rug. Consult the
salesman.
Question: What kind of finish
should I use on inside walls Of
living quarters in back of a gro.
Gerry store? The outside walls will
be built of cinder block. Would
a knotty pine finish be cheaper
than plastered walls?
Answer: Knotty pine probably
would cost more than plaster
work. Whatever type of wall you
decide on. you should put it up
on Turing strips, and If you wish
plaster. this must go on over lath
on the strips. There should be
air space of two inches between
the inside walls and the masonry

ably) with dampness in the

New Type Screening
For Porch Can Last
IS 10 70 Years
By Douglas Tuomey

Tne Improvement IN screening
materials for the last several years
has done away with the old rustec
out and dirty porch screening with
which we are familiar.
The old type mesh had short
life in spite of repeated coats Of
green or black paint, and the efort
to preserve it resulted in CLOSING
the openings to such an extent
that the average screened porch
was practically as breezeless as the
interior of the house.
Today, screening is made Of
copper, brass, aluminium, severa
white metal alloys and plastics. i
is now possible to screen large
porch quite economically and have
reason to expect it to last Is or q
years.
Several Ways to Do Job.
There are several ways in which
to screen a porch, and it is sur
prising to see that most houses
have it done in the worst possible
manner. Where the porch has
railing, nine out of ten times the
screening will be in back OF the
rail. AS a result leaves, twigs
scrap paper and every kind Of
windborn and storm driven debris
accumulates between screen and
railing.
Those who have spent hours
reaching in behind the rail to clean
out the mess know the job it pre-
sents. 1t is also a fact that this
arrangement promotes damp and
reproducing condition in the
railing. porch floor and screen
frames.
Screening should be installed
outside of the railing. This can
be done as easily as doing it the
wrong way. When wide screen
ing Is used, 2 by 2 uprights. are
set between porch floor and the
girder carrying the porch roof
Additional 2 by Is are laid against
the porch columns and the screen
ing spread across them and
fastened.
Frames for screened doors
should be by Is, well-anchored
to the floor and underside of the
girder so as to be strong and
rigid. This is for the permanent
installation, and it does away with
the twice-a-year job of taking
down and erecting the screen.
Left Up Year Around.
It is generally accepted now
that a porch screen should be
left up all year around. While the
first duty of the screen is to ex-
clude insects, it does very nicely
in keeping snow off porch and
will shed off about 80 per cent OF
a driving rain.
When screening is erected ir
wood-framed panels, the sec
tions should be set outside of the
railing. No matter what manner
they were set up in previously
the same panels can be set out.
side the rail.
The new screens in a light colol
are not as obvious as the old mesh
After the original brightness dim!
bit they are neutral looking, ano
have the additional feature of adj
hitting more light and making
q brighter porch than was form
erly possible.
