‘Homemaking—

These Pointers on Rationing

wil

Save Time and Trouble

EVEN THE OPA ADMITS that shopping under the point-rationing

system isn’t going to be easy.

Here are eight primary rationing rules that ought to help ‘you through the difficulties of the first month. They're valuable and sensi-

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I don’t know what to make of my eldest

daughter. She has just started ‘working for the first time in a

~money. We are a large family and .she never has had many clothes or

Now that she is working she is going to the other extreme. When shoe rationing became effective, she had already 10 pairs of shoes of every color and description. She

derwear than she possibly can wear as she has rather long hours and works in Slacks and shirts. She demands that the other children leave them alone, which of course is as it should be, but I hate to see her squander her money “foolishly. These are perilous times and every penny should be saved for war bonds or put fo some good use. She gives me a generous portion for the home, but says she is going

Rle, so ponder them well. 1. SHOP EARLY in the week and early in the day. This way you'll avoid crowds, get better help from your grocer, a wider choice of point-

“ |rationed foods and the best point

buys, 2. BUY ONCE a week if possible. Up until now you've probably shopped a number of times ‘a week just because you couldn’t always get the canned foods you wanted on the same day. Rationing will make it possible for you to buy everything at the same time and get your fair share when you want it. 3. FIGURE OUT your family’s point allowance for each week. You ana your family will have a certain number of points per person for a given period. Divide the number of points by the number of weeks jin that period and spend them wisely. Of course you can use your points just as you please—but remember, after your stamps are gone there won't be any more until the next ration period. 4. MAKE OUT a shopping - list and add up the points before you shop. Put down the point value beside: each rationed food on your list. Total the points on your list and then compare them with your family’s point budget for the week. If you find you have gone over your budget, switch to more non-rationéd foods, or substitute some low-point items for some of the high-point ones.

to live while she can. Isn't her philosophy wrong? Isn’t there some way I can show her how mistaken she is? MRS. B. 2 ” Answer—Your daughter is havhuman reaction, common to many hundreds of other ‘people. For the first time in her life she has her own money and plenty of it. She has felt deprivation. She knows what it is to have not. Now she is enjoying the thrill of having. Older people then she, with much] more experience to their credit, are howing no more judgment about ‘their newly found prosperity. Your task is first to understand the hunger for things that is behind the girl's spending. Try to be sympathetic with her desire to make the most of a situation which she knows cannot last. After you have, in all kindness, pointed out that there is a better way for her to take ‘advantage of her good fortune and turn it to her future welfare, you have done all you can. Life itself will teach her more than you ‘can at this point. At the defense plant, the group movement to buy payroll bonds may influence her. If it does not, compulsory saving may be ordered by the government. Rationing and shortages will curtail her buying. She may fall in love and feel the incentive to save for her home. All these factors, any one of which is more potent than parental warnings, will help take care of the situation, JANE JORDAN, Put your problems in a letter to Jane

Jordan, who will answer your questions in this column daily.

FROM EVERY PACKAGE

when you can instead of 2 and 1-point. When you buy foods that take a lot of points, or several different rationed items at one time, use the least number of stamps possible to make up the amount. You may need your low-point stamps for low-point purchases later in the month. For example, on a 16-point purchase, use two 8point stamps—not three 5’s and a 1. 6. REMEMBER THAT your grocer can’t give you “change” in stamps. Stamps A, B and C are good from March 1 to April 1. They total up to 48 points. By different combinations, you can get any total of points from 1 to 48. 7. BUY FOODS that are not rationed, whenever possible. Buy as many fresh fruits and vegetables as you can. Learn new recipes for cereals and other unrationed foods. Make your own soups whenever practical. 8. DON'T BLAME your grocer for wartime .inconveniences. He's going to be just as befuddled as you are with point rationing.

I don’t know whether priorities have caught up with steel tweezers. More likely, the gals just “feel” that thread-like brows are somehow out of kilter with the times, just as long and pointed nails are no longer smart. So if you want to be advance guard, keep your eyebrow pencil as well as tweezers handy. You should look neither shaggy nor shorn. It’s more important than ever to follow the natural line of your brow throughout your makeup technique. Besides pencil and tW%eezers, you need an eyebrow bush, and for special occasions mascara and eye shadow. Brushing the brows—with a clean brush. please—stimulates and trains them. If you haye a naturally even growth, why altar the shape? Hair between the eyes, over the bridge of the nose, and odd, out-of-line hairs, may be plucked. But it might be better to fill in a “bald spot” with pencil than to even the line by pruning. » ” ” SEE THAT your pencil point is sharp and does not smudge. Pencil with a very light, short, upward and outward stroke, making a line like a hairline. A false shape, a false direction, is obvious. Mascara and eye shadow are effective when used correctly. Apply the shadow first. It can match the color of your pupils, or the color of the natural shadows you can see at the inner corners near the nose. Or it can be a contrasting. color —green, for example, is becoming to red-brown hair and hazel or brown eyes. Spread the shadow with your fingertip, starting at center of upper eyelid and sweeping diagonally to the outer tip of the eyebrow. Concentrating shadow at outer area tends to make eyes look wider—but a blotch there, or anywhere, just looks like a black eye. Mascara goes on slowly, evenly, lightly and rarely on the lower lid’s lashes, especially if yours are skimpy. Concentrating the mascara at the outer corners of the upper lid makes the eyes seemingly longer; placing it at the center of the upper lid effects wider looking eyes. Too much is too bad.

Back to Natural Eyebrow Lines

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer BROWS THAT ARE BROWS are the latest tidings from Hollywood. It's not merely that broad arches are seen on stars like Rosalind Russell, who flaunted exceptional much-there brows all the while that the Dietrich plucked-to-nothing were standard. It is that a whole lot of the stars—Anne Shirley, Leslie Brooks, Marguerite Chapman, for instance—suddenly are adding to instead of taking away from their brows.

A Salvage Job

Many of the attractive multi-col-ored sweaters now in vogue are made of the remnants of two or more old or outworn knitted garments. Before the cast-offs are tak-

en apart, they should be washed in soap and water, and the wool will be easier and pleasanter to handle. :

NEW YORK, Feb. 23—A plea to| &:

The salvage items may be clean or dirty, broken or whole, any size or variety and are to be sent to a

local M. and-S. Relief committee or to the New York office. In launching the salvage campaign, the committee has fixed as its goal 5000 portable emergency medical kits which it will donate through the Miami Naval base to

boats hunting axis submarines. One| -

shipment of kits already has been sent to the sub-chasers. The articles sought, according to Mrs. Huttleston Rogers, the committee’s executive chairman, have become scarce, but are as vital as the medications and surgical equipment contained in each kit.

Go Together Foods: ‘Sweets’ and Apples There's a certain affinity between sweet potatoes and apples. This trick does something special for both: cut four sweet potatoes in halves and arrange in a shallow greased baking pan. Core, peel and slice two apples; place on potatoes and cover with a half cup of corn syrup and two tablespoons butter or margarine. Bake in a moderate oven for a half hour. Especially good with roast pork.
