Gives Illusion of Size

WHILE THE BRIGHT COLORS are a welcome note in the dark or . shady rooms of the house, colors of more restful character are generally more desirable in the rooms with southern or western exposure. Here, where the sun itself provides . the brightening cheer, the cool-color dine-up—the green, blue, violet and gray group—is more satisfying. If you want your room to appear larger, use light tints of any of the unitized wallpapers you select. Deeper tints ox.intense shades "of any color will tend to make the room appear smaller, Actually, a well-chosen ceiling paper can add real character to a room, But it must be designed to harmonize, Suppose you have selected one of the wallpapers in alternating bands of soft blue and gray paper, or better yet, a matching blue ground patterned with tiny daisy dots in alternating gray and pink, which give an umiobirygive. out individual touch. . With plain walls a patterned ceiling is very attractive. oral groups, rosettes, ' medallions and even stripes, cut to converge from . the four corners to the center, are ‘some of the stunning ceiling possibilities.

To Lower Ceilings

By RUTH MILLETT THE AVERAGE HOUSEWIFE shows less sense in hiring “help”

other phase of the job of homemaking. A woman may pride herself on the fact that her children get the proper food, take their vitamin pills regularly, are always spic and span and that her house is always immaculate. Yet she’ may be as careless about the help she hires as the most slovenly house keeper in the neighborhood. A housewife will hire a girl to help with the cooking and the care of the children, and yet not know a thing about her except that she 100ks neat enough; she is willing to work for what the housewife can afford to pay; and she “Rnows ler place” How dangerous to the health of a family such careless ¢hoosing of domestic help can be is shown by the figures recently published by the Veneresl Disease Control Program of a southern city. ” » ” THIRTY-ONE per cent of the domestic servants in that city who in 1940 applied for health cards were found to be infected with syphilis.

This subject of inflation was brought up in an earlier "broadside, “Bigger Taxes Are Better Taxes.” Mrs. Alfred Noling, Indianapolis unit group leader, commenting on “Why Buy Defenuse Bonds?” said, “I feel that the new broadside will be excellent supplementary mate rial for the tax broadside in addition to its merits ag an argument for buying defense bonds.”* ‘As 'part of the wartime service program, recently inaugurated by the league, members will be required to distribute information found in this broadside to as many citizens as can be reached.

Answer--You've done all you can do when you have written the girl and told her of. your change of héart and habits. Within two years she has doubtless formed another attachment which she values. Perhaps you have lost your chance with her. After all you monopolized her time for eight years and nothing came of it but a slap in the face. You can scarcely expect her to feel very kindly toward you. However, if you fail to reawaken her interest in you, all is not lost.
