Give Hosiery as Christmas Gift
. But Be Sure About the Size
2
A GOOD, OLD STANDBY in
the Christmas gift field is hosiery.
Always acceptable, they may range from the finest gauge chiffon for evening to bulky socks for wear with ski boots.
This year the packages in which
they may be given are clever enough
almost to constitute gifts in themselves. - Three pairs of stockings may arrive in a candlestick holder, a ballerina’s slipper or in any of a variety
of smart wrappings. But be sure the hose are in the right side. The annoyance of having to exchange a gift takes away -8 lot of the fun of receiving it. The following charts will help in determining sizes for both men and women if you put in a little preliminary detective work on shoe Zes, >

~ Q—How can I remove perspiration and odor from a garment?
A—Moisten the spot with clear
water; then dip a clean cloth in|: cornstarch and rub it well into the|:
stain. Allow it to dry and remove the starch with a stiff brush.
Q—What the nerves? A—Those terminating periphery, which include the sense organs, the muscles and viscera, as opposed to the central nervous system.

Q—How can I prevent caulifiower from becoming discolored in cook-
ing? A—Cook it without a cover. It should never be cooked in an iron kettle, =
Q—Is it true that the faster a child grows the more sleep he should have? How much sleep should a child of three have? How much for afi active child of 12 and an adolescent of 16?
- A—Studies made by the United
States Children’s Bureau indica that a child grows most when asleep. A baby, less than a year old, grows very-fast and sleeps most of the time. When he gets a little older he does not grow so fast and therefore .does not need so much sleep. . After about a dozen years, when the child enters the adolescent stage, growth speeds up again and the older boy or girl needs even more sleep than one a year or two younger. Many parents do not know this, and permit older children to stay up later than younger ones, with the result that boys and girls of 13 to 16 are often listless and inert. They:may be sleepy and tired most of the time, or moody and irritable. A child of three should have 13 to 15 hours sleep, a child of 12 should have 10 to 11 hours and-an adolescent should have 10 to

happy disposition, he is undoubtedly getting enough sleep.
The Home Decorator
SLIPCOVERS are no longer just a summer solution for dressing up the home. Sanforizing has been applied to so many upholstery fabrics that thousands of homemakers, knowing their cotton slip-covers will fit just as well after laundering as before, are using one set for winter, another for summer. Many of these
for the colder season are in light gay colors, as well as in darker ones, and of course all of them are made with zippers so they can be taken off easily and washed. :
Covers are even going on lamp shades, tables and picture frames, as well as chairs and sofas. Cur-
tains are made to match, and some-
times, the same fabric is used for a wall covering at one end of the room, for instance, to frame a mantel or a bed.
If you want to cover up dingy tapes on your Venetian blinds or desire a change of color, you'll be glad to know that there are now decorative tapes that clip over the old ones and are easily removable for laundering. They are color-fast and therefore resist fading in sun
or water,
An easy way to pleat that new shower curtain you're so proud of is to stitch a pleated strip of buckram flat to the hem of the curtain and ~draw the string that runs through the buckram so the curtain falls in even pleats. It’s washable, of course, because it’s cotton.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—Although I have no romantic problems I read your column frequently and can’t help noticing how many letters you get from girls wanting to know how to keep their boy I don’t’ pretend to be an authority on anything but I do know what more and more fellows, myself included, are We prefer a girl Too much rouge, mascara, nail lacquer, attractive to us as some girls believe. Simplicity and smartness are A liking for symphonic music, good books, the theater, art, can be acquired but not bought. A little consideration for others, - including waitresses, salesgirls, doormen, and all who perform small, everyday services would boost any girl's stock with us. In other words, if some of these girls would heed that advice, widen their horizon and concentrate on something besides their own interests, I feel sure they would find themselves sought out by boys who recognize and appreciate such things, » »

the red nails is that they form part of the color scheme of a costume, Like all alibis this one falls a little short of explaining a taste for deformity The last questionnaire I saw filled in by the members of a Pur- - due fraternity, showed a unanimous wish for a girl with equal education, though the boys admitted that they preferred a girl with less education rather than more than that of the boy. A girl with more education, of course, is a threat to their masculine superiority.
