Secrets of Charm
How to Pose for Group SNAPSHOTS

sures that you'll be the one in the
picture who looks slim. Be careful
though. in assuming the diagonal
hip position that you don't turn
your shoulders, too. Keep them
as square to the camera as pos
sible. This strategy will prevent
your having to twist and wrinkle
your neck in order to look at the
birdie. That would be anything
but the effect you want.
Should you link arms with the
person on one side of you, place
your other arm behind the person
on the opposite side. In this way
you get at least one hand out OF
the cameras eye. And whatever
you do, don't let the hand that
shows dangle. If you've clasped
the arm of the next person, place
your hand lightly on his arm. II
your fellow poser has beaten you
to the draw and clasped your arm
first. bring your hand In close to
your body at waist level; turn it
over SO that the palm is up and
very little is visible except your
relaxed thumb and foretinger.

AS for your feet. simply place
the heel of one foot into the in
step Of the other and relax your
knees. This stance reduces the
girth Of your legs by giving you a
single legline. Try it in front of
your mirror and see for yourself.
While there. also practice this
position Of your arms: Place either
hand behind you at waist level,
allowing plenty Of separation be-
tween your elbow and your body.
This is the ticket for gracing the

The stole has wrapped up the

to the ballroom. American wom-
en- from coast to coast have made
the stole story top news by adopt
ing it as an important part of
every costume.
For your season in the sun
there's an exciting new collection
OF endleSsly versatile stoleS to go
around the clock and around the
world-to be worn over everything
from swim suits to slacks, from
slim sheaths to bouffant evening
gowns!
The stole knows no boundaries
OF time or place and is as unlim-
tied in its f1attery to women of
all ages and all types. Whatever
your age or figure, you'll find the
graceful symmetry Of a stole be-
coming to you.
And what's more, the stole is
Just as practical as it is CLAM
orous! 1t can take the place of
a coat wardrobe for earth-bound
budgets. Many stoleS are lavish
enough in size to provide complete
cover-up when cool breezes blow.
You can now afford several at
tractive Stoles to color team with
your warm-weather clothes in
stead of trying to coordinate one
coat to all your summer outfits.
A collection of Stoles can bring
last years wardrobe up to date
this year, and there's a stole to
give high fashion significance to
everything you own. A white pique
with button-hap pockets will tell
summers black-and-white story
and can be belted at the waist for
added smartneSs. To revitalize
your sports clothes there's a bright
white cotton jersey gayly striped
IN red and blue. Dark, lustrous

can bring drama to any after-five

CLEANING PAINT;
ECONOMY FOR SOCKS.
lEroan Mrs. A. B.. Arlinaton.

j (From Mrs. A. B.. Arlin0torJ
Today I used for the first timl
"a homemade paint cleaner which
proved so excellent that ! wan
to share 1t with others.
MY problem was to wash tht
paint on our screened porch. Tit
paint was discolored from stain!
from the copper screens, as wei
as from SCOT and rain which hae
ldrifted in all winter. I had moi
been able to-, find any cleaner
which would get rid OF these
stubborn discolorations.
The cleaner recipe is published
lin a bulletin issued by the Owens
Illinois Glass Co. It is said to be
excellent for interior painted walls
and woodwork as well. Here Is
the formula: Make a solution
using gallon of water. / cup OF
ammonia, 12 cup of vinegar and
" cup Of baking soda. Use this
to wash the painted surfaces. For
the porch I used a scrub brush,
but this would probably not be
needed indoors. Also, too much
|of the cleaner would drip of the
brush.
The recipe says it is not neces-
sary to rinse the surfaces washed
with this solution. but I rinsed
the porch and felt 1t was a good
idea.
Here is an economy hint. far
from the idea of paint cleaners
My husband always wears wool
or the heavy nylon socks, expen-
lsive and very good quality. They
wear very well with the system OF
putting on a clean pair every
morning. In fact they last fol-
months without darning. But
eventually they wear out at the
heel. Now comes the economy
hint.
I darn them and reinforce each
heel as I darn with ali inside
patch cut from one Of my dis.
carded nylon hose. This rein.
forcement Is so effective that they
can be worn for a long time with
this one darning. I simply darr
on the patch on the inner side
of the heel.
My teen-age daughter wear.
wool bobby socks. I bought thir
white nylon by the yard, small
piece Of it, and used that to rein.
force the heels of the wool bobby
socks. It certainly prolongs the
life of socks. ! should think II
might work with children's cottor
socks. too. or with mems cottor
or rayon socks, though I have
never used 1t with anything ex.
cept the very heavy socks.
