Daily Use Keeps Silver Shining: Polishing Is Not Difficult Job
A RECENT INQUIRY into the table-setting habits of middle-in-come families revealed that many of them owned a considerable amount of silver table-ware—either sterling or plate—but few of them used 1it except on holidays or when company is present. The reason most of them gave was they dread having to clean the silverware, and so they keep it out of use. Jewelers say that this is faulty] reasoning, because nothing tends to » keep silver bright and shining so| Gay Pinafore well as constant use and consequent ” daily washing and wiping. Tarnish A does not appear half so quickly on silver that is used regularly as it| does upon articles that are laid away for occasional use. Discoloration may result | contact with certain foods, and] silver does require special polishing and cleansing from time to time, but this need not be a difficult or dreaded job. There are two well known meth-| ods of silver cleaning. One is the piece-by-piece cleansing with special silver polish, followed by the normal soap and water washing, rinsing and drying. The second method is less laborfous and equally effective, but cans» not be used on oxidized pieces. These are the ones that have a dark, grev-biack background to bring out the raised designs in sharper contrast. It is found most frequently on old silver, as its use is not popular in modern designs. THIS SECOND method, called electrolysis, makes it possible to cleanse many pieces at a time. Fill an aluminum pan with hot water and add one teaspoon salt and one teaspoon baking soda for each quart of water. Bring to a boil and then put in the silverware. Keep the . ‘water boiling. It will take only a few seconds to remove the tarnish or discoloration unless the silver has been long neglected. When the silver is clean, remove it from the boiling water] with tongs and wash it thoroughly | in warm sudsv water. Rinse and| dry with a soft towel. i The electrolytic method may also] be used in an enamel dishpan. In that case put an aluminum cake or ~ pie pan at the bottom of the dish-| pan, and arrange the silver so each| piece either touches the aluminum or touches a piece that is in direct contact with the aluminum.

; he had only odd jobs and I took in
, washing and did housework to help support us. Now: he is making around $70 a week. He is having , an affair with a young girl and admits it. He says he did not love me | when he married me and these six { years have been unhappy ones for { him. I have told him he is free to | leave, but he says for me to go. Yet when I do talk of leaving he says, | “Yes, you want, to put me in the ‘army.” It hurts to know that my | husband does not want to live with | me and I am truly sorry that I have ycaused him to be so miserable.

to do. NOT WANTED. = = = | Answer—There is no ‘ready answer for your problem, no easy solution. Probably the best advice anyone can give you is “do nothing hastily.” Something may occur to change the picture. For example, your husband may be called to the | army in spite of the fact that he is {using his wife and child as an excuse for avoiding service. Actually he isn’t staying home because of any duty toward dependents but simply because he doesn't want to put himself out. I see no re:son why you should | ‘refrain from getting a job because vour husband wants to pretend that he is indispensable at home. If he makes you feel that ycu are a liability instead of an asset you | have a right to establish your eco- | nomic independence if you can. | Your attitude is too apologetic. The man is partly responsible for whatever went wrong with your mairiage. Why should you be so willing to shoulder the total blame? If youre sorry you made him miserable why shouldn't he be sorry that he made you miserable? You may as well give yourself credit for the way you helped him when his income was inadequate. He accepted this aid willingly enough but now that he is on his feet he minimizes the help you proffered. You don't respect yourself enough. That is one reason why your husband doesn’t respect you, since others tend to take us at our own evaluation of ourselves. You regard yourseif as a culprit. Buck up and look after your own interests with calm determination and stop grieving like a rejected child. > JANE JORDAN,

June brides would find this] problem easier if they would fol- | low this bride's code: In furnishing my home, I will put my husband's comfort above my own desire to impress my friends. Whenever I am given the chance I will show interest and enthusiasm for my husband’s interests, ideas, and new undertakings. I won't be content to “keep up” with my husband. Ill try to we a step ahead, since I will have more time than he for contintiing ny education. = = = NO ONE, not even my own family, will ever Wear me make a remark uncomplimentary to the man I promised to love and honor. Little disappointments, little hurts, and petty criticisms I will keep to inyself. I will be as good a listener when I am a wife as I was when I was working to get my man. I will be a restful person, not the kind of woman who chatters incessantly or the kind who is not happy utlless she is “doing” something. : I will take the job of being a| housekeeper and hostess as seriously as though I were working for a pay check and a promotion. I will have my own interests outside my home and family—-interests that make the best use of my particular abilities, talents, and beliefs. If there are children I will be a good mother without always putting their welfare above that of the head of the family. I'll keep my man—and I'll keep him happy.
