Silver Is Practical

Silver that is used every day has little chance to become tarnished. Washing in war water and mild soap, drying thoroughly with a soft cloth, and an occasional rub-off with a silver polishing cloth is all that is needed to keep it bright and shining. Good silver, wisely selected, adds dignity and elegance to any table service.

Cotton Makes Cool Lounging Apparel

Cotton is cool for summer lounging wear. A New York shop features a bare midriff model of unwrinkable cotton in a bold horizontal stripe. The skirt is very full; the short, rather tight bodice with short sleeves ties with three separate bows down the front, in a style for slim figures.

~ Soap must have wished on many an occasion for a method of carrying her own gentle soap about with her when she sallied forth. Short of carrying a supply of guest-size cakes in her handbag, and discarding them after each hand-lathering, there has been little she could do

“about the matter.

But now Elizabeth Arden has come to the rescue. Appearing this week in three local department stores, Ayres’, Block’s and Wasson’s, is Arden’s Filmofoam disc—a com-pact-like affair holding 25 transparent pink wafers, each of which turns into creamy lather when cupped in a moist palm. The wafers slip, one at a time, from the side of the disc. One disc costs 65 cents or a package of three containing 75 wafers may be purchased for $1.75.

~ HOUSEWIVES AND CHEFS know that such sliced fruits as apples, bananas, peaches and pears quickly discolor and become -unappetizing in appearance on exposure to air. In terms of pantry labor this has meant that all sliced fresh fruit must be prepared at the last ‘minute. Scientists at the Boyce Thompson Institute of Plant Research in Yonkers, N. Y., worked on the problem and discovered a non-toxic chemical, thiocarbamide, which prevents the browning of cut plant tissue. It has been made available in tablet form under the name of Frulite. A tablet is stirred and dissolved in a quart .of cold water. The fruit is placed in a sieve and immersed in the solution for not more than 30 seconds, then placed in the refrigerator.

THE UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. is putting a new mattress on the market. It is made from liquid milk, known as lastex that is whipped to a foamy frother “then

baked in an oven just like a cake. The resulting material, called Kaya‘lon, is made up of millions of tiny interconnecting bubbles or air cells. When compressed, the tiny cells release their air, then fill again as the pressure changes so that the mattress “breaths.” The company says the sleeper actually rests on 25. per cent rubber and 75 per cent air.

XANDRA has out a sachet mitt that holds the sachet in a zipper compartment. Refills are available for the attractive terry cloth mitt backed with taffeta in soft forget- _ me-not blue, pale rose pink, Nile green or all white. . . . Here is good news for Shocking fans. Schiparelli has a new refill, complete with funnel, for those who want to keep

their Victorian bottles as permanent dressing table accessories. Each refill contains a half ounce of shocking and sells for $7.50. .

Don Juan has placed a new lipstick on the market called Hostess Red. It was named for the hostesses on the T. W. A. liners who must be groomed as well at the end of a run as they were when they stepped aboard the plane. . . . Frances Denney has a Pat-Me mitt filled with her Wild Rose dusting powder. It is innerlined and there is a tab on the mitt to be conveniently hung in the bath. :

Proper Decorating Corrects Defects

If ceilings are extremely low, extend the wallpaper all the way up to the ceiling. Narrow striped paper adds to the illusion of height. Ceilings that are too high will not seem so disproportionate if the

ceiling color is brought down onto the side walls about 12 or 18 inches. A molding extending around the room where wall and ceiling colors meet, breaks the distance.

and can’t make up his mind. Lately he makes dates and doesn’t fill them. His friends tell me that he likes me but he doesn’t act like it around me. He works from 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. and can’t come over much in the evening; so do you think it wrong on my part to go over to his house once in a while during the day? Some people tell me if I wouldn't run after him he would think more of me. His father is dead and his mother doesn't stay at home. He lives with his married sister and her husband. I think if we were to get married it would break his habit of gambling and make him settle down. A PUZZLED GIRL. ” ” 2

Answer—When a young man makes dates with a young woman and does not keep them it should be all the proof she needs that he isn’t vitally interested in her. Under these conditions if she takes the initiative and calls on him at his home he is bound to feel impatient and disgusted. You may rest assured that if he wanted to see you he would do so regardless of his hours. You have taken him far more seriously than he intended and if you let him know it he will be irked. It is not true that marriage cures a man of the gambling habit. It does not. Many men do “settle down” after marriage because they’ve had their fling and are tired of it. But just as many men do not settle down but lead the merry life of a bachelor after marriage and are aggrieved if their wives object to it. You aren’t facing reality at all. Youre coloring the situation with your own wishes. One thing you do admit: That the man doesn’t act as if he cared for you. Then why not check him off your list and find someone who does?

DEAR JANE JOCRDAN—We have been having some discussions on the term “going steady.” Will you please tell us the things that should go on between the boy and girl during the time they are going steady? Please give us your definition. TWO GIRLS.

us t 4 s

Answer—So far as I know the term “going steady” simply indicates that a young couple has agreed not to date anyone else during this period. Their behavior while going steady depends upon what kind of people they are and what kind of standards they have. If

there are any cut and dried rules I do not know what they are. JANE JORDAN.
