- Homemaking— “Towels and Sheets Are Packaged Attractively as Christmas Gifts
ant : ed
_ SPARING NEITHER LUXURY
year are offering towel and sheet ensembles in gift wrappings that vie
with their contents in beauty and - local stores.
For instance, one mill offers the ultimate in luxury notes with towels ‘loaded in a hamper which will adorn the bathroom long after the towels
have run their span of life, There ts dlso a wooden magazine rack stuffed with towels in place of the conventional magazines, and a pignic basket ‘that can be filled wit. food for a country outing. Among the gift box designs offered are .a Mexican ' motif, ‘a make-up mirror box, and a butterfly box, all of which will make decorative additions to the home. Another has a gift set of towels lined up, layers deep, in a beribboned white wire shelf that can be hung in the bathroom, and refilled after the original towels have served their time. Another package contains four soap cake blossoms that match the towels. . Other wrappings simulate ' hat boxes, miniature treasure chests and candy boxes that for a veritable garden of flower designs. A third towel maker offers a Southern novelty that will appeal to many—a miniature cotton basket inspired by the cotton picker’s bas‘ket and stuffed with colorful washcloths. Monogrammed sheets that bloom with color are being promoted as gift-wise, and what could be more gratifying to the favorite lady in your life than a bed of rose-colored sheets, complete with satin-covered sachets, gift-wrapped in & fragrant lotus box?
Oilcloth Joins the Colors
PROVING that the modern kitchen is as style-wise as any other part of the house today, oilcloth is appearing in patriotic dress. .Among the designs in red, white and blue that are being introduce are the Liberty Bell placed in star-and-stripe square, the Statue of Liberty, the Capitol, Uncle Sam’s top-hatted head, and a small map of the U. S. A.
The Question Box
Q—Is chipped beef made from horse meat? . A—No: In 1919 Congress passed the Horse Meat Act, which was largely an export measure, It is required that horse meat be prepared and processed at establishments separate from those in which
" meats derived from cattle, sheep, swine and goats are prepared and processed. Horse meat is conspicuously marked as such. It is mostly

for carnivorous animals in this country.
@Q—Can you suggest a method to prolong the life of a cut Christmas tree? : A—Set the tree in water when first brought into the house, replacing the water as it evaporates. Trim the base of the tree with a sharp knife before it is mounted, to leave the pores open, and allow water to rise in the stem to the living cells. Spruce and fir retain their needles longer than most other Christmas trees. A circular about coloring, fireproofing and preserving Christmas trees may be obtained by sending a stamped, addressed envelope to The Indianapolis Times Service Bureau, 1013 13th St., Washington, D, C.
‘@—How, may I remove rust from a tile floor? . A—Use a mixture of lemon juice and water,

JANE JORDAN.
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young girl in my early twenties and am well-liked by people of all classes and ages. Men call me innocent and say it respectfully with wonder and admiration in their voices. I am fairly good-looking and a neat dresser. I am friendly with everyone. I do not drink, curse or smoke, I am a little reserved but sincere with all the people I meet. I enjoy movies and good books and sports and always read your column. Last summer I met a young man whom I thought was everything a man could hope to be. We were together quite often and never quarrelled once. When he left he promised to call in a few days. Three weeks have gone by and the phone is as silent as it was before I met him. I think he loves me even though he may be dating another girl whom he says he can’t even respect. This sort of thing happens to me often. When I meet a nice boy everything goes well for a while. Then some fast girl comes along and I find myself sitting alone while she steps out with my heart throb. 1 try to be a jolly good companion to all the fellows I meet. ‘They confide their business affairs and worries in me and always find sympathy and understanding, but I am unable to find a young man who cares enough for my type of girl to go steady. I was sure the last one did, but it turnéd out differently. Should I try to forget him? Da you think I will be able to find a steady boy friend who wants a decent girl friend, or was I just born to be a good pal to all the boys? MIXED UP.
# 8 un 2 # ”
Answer—No girl was born to be a good pal to all the boys. If
it turns out that way it is because that is what she made of herself.
I can understand the confusion of your feelings. You hear virtue extolled on every side. You see men who profess to admire it seek their companionship with girls of easier virtue. It is not surprising that a girl comes to wonder if virtue is all it is cracked up to be. Yet girls of easy virtue suffer from quiet telephones also. And when they do they suffer from self-mistrust more than you do. Now it may be that you are a trifle too remote. Mind you I said too remote and not too virtuous. Men are a little fed up on the girl wno lives in an ivory tower. The time when they spoke of innocence with wonder and admiration in their voices is past. Your choice of words suggests the Victorian era when women were placed on a pedestal and worshipped, while their husbands ran around the corner for something more down-to-earth. If you are holding on to this ideal of being worshipped for your innocence, get rid of it, but don’t throw out your virtue at the same time. : There is such a thing as being a warm, human, emotional person who knows what it is all about, without the coldness of the girl who lives in an ivory tower. You can understand the desires of the flesh without being “fast.” By your attitude you can hold out a promise of things to come without entering into a close relationship until the young man has signed his name to a marriage license. Remember that all girls know what it is to be rushed and dropped by changeable young men. The experience isn’t peculiar to gou but is a part of the trial and’ error method of courtship. The -
, fact that one young man changed his mind doesn’t indicate that
there is something wrong with you at all. However, it is a good thing to look out for a too precious attitude toward one’s self. { JANE JORDAN.
