do this to our furniture and
closets before we go away on vaca-
ton. I also sprinkle moth crystals
over my wool rugs just before
closing the house. We came home
from vacation one year to find

They probably came from our pet
dog who sometimes lies on the

crystals on the rugs we have not
had that unfortunate experience.

HAIR WASHING.

(From Mrs. J. c. M, W1ShtngtonJ
Try washing, your little girls
hair while she is lying on the
drainboard of your sink. You can
put a towel on the drainboard for
her to lie on and her head can be
supported with one hand while
you wash it with the other. She
can look at a picture book or play
with a toy during the shampoo.
This has worked we'll with my
children as they are comfortably
supported and the soap does not
get in their eyes.
From Mrs. d. H. E., ChurchtonJ
My little boy almost had hys-
terics. too, when I washed his hair
until I let him wash it himself
Use one of the jelly shampooS
that won't run down your little
girls face or get into her eyes.
Let her sit in the tub, and pour
warm water over her hair with a
glass until its wet enough. She
can do this herself if she would
rather. Then squeeze some sham
poo into her hand and let her
rub it into her hair. She won't
do as good a job as you. but
I think she'll enjoy the experience
Of being grown up" enough to dc
it herself. I use a hose spray for
rinsing and my little boy loves
playing with it after the shampoo
is over.

After the first try when tht
boy went into Mysteries at thu
first mention of hair washing, M
further attempt was made for {
week. The subject was. however
brought up several times during
the day, but not in connection
with his bath. Pointing to LITTLE
child in his picture book or OF
the street, I would comment OF
his or her pretty hair. adding
that only clean hair could be 81
nice and curly. A fairy tale. viii
some incident OF hair washing
also was told and he was allowed
to watch me washing my hair
and made to laugh at my blinc
fumbling for the towel. Finally
Evening star., 1951-08-10
Conducted by
BETSY CASWELL

a doll was taken into the tub
when the little boy had his bath
and he was encouraged to wash
the dolls hair" I showed him
how it could be done without get
ting soap or water in the dolls
eyes. Incidentally. a small child's
hair should alw; VS. b. washed in
connection with his bath. Sitting
in the tub, his hair should be
Soaped, and then the head should
be tilted slightly backwards, when
reaching the front ha'rline. Also.
use as little water as possible and
nothing will run down into his
eyes.
After these preliminaries, I was
allowed to start soaping the hair,
starting at the back of the head
and working forward as men
toned above. When the head was
thoroughly soaped, the shower
was started and the child told to
close his eyes tightly and gently
moved under the shower. There
was little whimpering, the first
time, but the soap washed away
so quickly that it never hurt his
eyes, and this bo.- has never since
protested against hair washing in
this way, much to his mothers
surprise and relief. I might add
that his hair was quite long and
curly. I hope you will be as lucky
with your little girl.

LOOPER RINGS.
| From Mrs. E: J. K, Siluer SPRING.
| Mrs. B. NJ, Washington: feel
sure you can get loopers for your
rugs by writing, Tarboro Mill,

given to me sometime ago so

to prices, but you can buy the
loopers by color in pound pack

DRAW CURTAINS.

fFron, Mrs. W. H. NJ. Arlington }
1t is not necessary to use Vene-
tian blinds; however, they may
be used If you wish. If the blinds
are decided upon there is no point
in going to the expense of draw
draperies, as they will be of nc
particular function. except fol-
decorative effect. Whether your
draperies will interfere with sum-
mer comfort depends on the ex-
posure of the window and on the
| type of fabric used. For example
at window facing west or south
west, the service they perform
in keeping out the suns rays will
compensate for the loss of ven
tilation.
Il One way to overcome the block
ing Of air passage Is to extend
the rod beyond the window, SC
that the draperies may hang on
the wall instead Of covering part
of the window when they're open
The rod is either put directly into
the wall, using electric drill OF
plaster tap and rawl plugs, OF
put into extension plates if holes
in the plaster seem inadvisable
The plates must be used if plaster
is too thin to support the weight
of the rod and draperieS. To fig:
ure extension, one width of a.
inch fabric will cover approx
mately 9 inches of wall or win
dow when drapery is open.
| The type of the material is also
a factor-if the view is unat-
tractive, use an Opaque fabric. On
the other hand. should you merely
wish to screen out the suns rays
but admit air, try one of the
easement cloths. These are light
in weight, just heavy enough sc
that you can't see through them
and they come in many attractive
weaves and colors. as well as ir
prints. The newest ones are those
using the touches Of gold or sill
liver dye or thread which have
become so popular in ladies' cloth
ing recently. as well as in home
decoration. These easement cloths
are used unlined. If you get q
lot OF sunlight at a window, use
a plain easement cloth in white
or natural. or an Opaque fabric
lined to prevent fading.
