ie To Wash Window Shades

‘DO NOT TRY to wash window shades unless they are guaranteed washable. If washable, spread out the shade on a large flat surface to

£ . prevent creasing or cracking. Make a: thick light suds of mild soap and

. warm water. Wash with a soft sponge, using the frothy suds and brushing across the shade. Rinse th a clean sponge wrung out of clear water. Never allow the shade to become very wet.

AN 'OPULENT EFFECT can be given the simplest studio by a unique window treatment. Extend the cornice beyond the outer corners of the wide window-across the entire width of the room.

cloth or a lamb’s wool polishing mitt. Remember that several thin coats of wax, well rubbed down between each application, always give better results than one thick coat.

Make Cut Flowers Last

IT'S POSSIBLE to make cut roses last a full week if they are protected from heat and drafts. So, if you send some roses for a friend’s birthday, ahd she has several attractive flower vases and bowls, she may have a different flower arrangement each day of the following week. The first day she might use a tall glazed pottery vase. Cutting, with slanting strokes, a little off the stems each day so that they will be able to absorb more water, taking off. the water-logged leaves and keeping the flowers in a cool room over night, ‘helps to make the blooms last longer.

Christmas Greens ;

SANTA CLAUS with a sleigh full of fresh flowers makes a gala centerpiece for a Christmas table. White carnations, yellow pompons, red roses, snapdragons and African daisies are a festive choice; and a “roadway” of holly or fragrant evergreens down the center of the table will add to the Yuletide spirit. Even if you can’t get home for the holiday at the last minute, you can wire the family’s favorite flowers and plants so that they may enjoy them during the Christmas season. Silvered angels, streamlined reindeer, white holly leaves and brightly colored cones are just a few of the nqvelties designed to add a gay touch to Christmas centerpieces.

You can have this high-style fashion in your own wardrobe and in your favorite fabric at a very trifling cost with this easy-to-make pattern, No. 8787. Pinafores are the delight of high school girls because they're nice with sweaters and with extra blouses. They're pets of the college campus, too!

With one good basic pattern like this you can make up two or three versions of this pretty fashion. Have one in plaid wool for cold days with a dark blouse; for parties and movie dates, try a pastel challis or thin wool with a chiffon blouse. They will look like two different dresses and yowll look prettily dressed on all occasions. Note the easy fullness of fhe skirt and the smooth midriff. beg

designed to please this difficult subject. Since most men smoke, no doubt he'll go for a new Skipper Cigaret Holder. A, mariner’s wheel turns the barrel of this novel device, releasing cigarets at regular intervals. A standard New Haven clock remains upright '} at the front. Finished in English | bronze and polished, the holder is ideal for a nautical den. If he likes to read, give a thought to Tillie, the Tilt Top Table. Until . you've met Tilt Top Tillie, says its maker, you haven't really enjoyed ease and comfort.

In effect, Tillie is a table with “gliding” feet, of adjustable height (from 22 to 36 inches) and great adaptability. Artists use her for an easel, writers prop portables on her stomach and she is the perfect breakfast-in-bed companion. You can play games, serve drinks (she’s covered with liquor-proof lacquer) or pamper your sick-in-beds ‘with her. Tillie comes in genuine mahogany or walnut. A telephope timer will come in handy if he has to make long distance calls. - It’s simply a glorified hour glass. . When he starts talking he turns the timer upside

down. Guide lines indicate how much time remains to get in a few last words and yet stay inside the stipulated three - minute limit. | Does - he fish? Look for a “fish finder,” a new device from the makers of ther- - mometers. Since each kind of fish prefers a certain temperature of water, this thermometer tells the temperature and thereby indicates whether to fish shallow, deep or medium for the desired kind of fish. There’ll be some new fishing rods, made of Nylon, on the market. This tough, elastic’ material which we have heard of mostly in the- form of stockings is said to make exceptionally fine rods. Another idea for the fisherman is a live bait hook. There is a short chain between the leader and the hook, which, when looped around the bait, makes certain that it will be securely held. . If he makes frequent use of business cards he’ll like one of the new Kardpak containers. A thumb on] a tiny roller flicks out a card, always clean and crisp, with no fumbling. These thin holders are made of a new plastic in one and two-tone color combinations. Is he a camera fiend? Then he'd enjoy a Permo Fotovue album in which photos slip into transparent acetate pockets. Ayres’ have it at $1.95 or $2.95. ¢ Travelers appreciate gifts of luggage. Does he-have a toilet kit?

World Peace Is Aim of Catholic Women

The Indianapolis Diocesan Council of the National Council of Catholic Women today resolved to unite with the National Council to fully support all defense measures, pray for world peace and urge the Government to direct its international policy toward this end, according to Christian principles. The resolution was made at the second annual convention of the Indianapolis Council held at Claypool Hotel where more than 1000 ¢atholic women from central and southern Indiana communities attended. Miss Margaret Hughes, president of the Springfield Diocesan Council, Springfield, Il1., urged a strong unity of all Catholic women in the country and said that “preparedness in religion is just as necessary as it is in war. TLE “Today the Holy Mother Church is calling you to arms—to peaceful yet powerful arms of Christian truth, Christian virtue, Christian prayer and Christian unity. It is the arms of the spirit directed against the enemies of God, of the Church of genuine human happiness,” she said. . Mrs. Charles L. Barry, of Indianapolis, for the past two years president of the organization, presided at the morning session and expressed her appreciation to the women and clergy for their co-operation in organizing the council. Among the accomplishments of the Council, Mrs. Barry pointed out, was the complete Catholic census of the Diocese taken by the Council last spring. The Indianapolis Council is the only one in the country to perform such an undertaking. Panel discussions on various phases of the Council’s program for literature, welfare, youth, rural life and Christian study were made this morning. A luncheon. followed in the Riley Room of the Hotel and a concert was to be given at 2 p. m. by the St. Vincent’s School Band directed by Rev. William Lautner.
