Brings Back Gloss

So Perk Up and Pay Attention to Wives

By RUTH MILLETT NEA Staff Writer

NOTICE TO all husbands:

The Christmas hinting season is now open. So perk up and pay a little attention to the hints your wife, oh. so casually, tosses your : way. From now untilChristmas, when she admires something it is for It

a she pulls you over to a store window and something like: “Isn't that a beautiful bag? Ruth Millett © It's just the right shade of brown for my new suit” don’t just say “Unbuh,” and move on. Study that

handbag carefully. It's on Mama's list of Christmas wants. Same way when she calls

your attention to a “simply stunning” something or other advertised in the newspaper. Stop reading the funnies and make a mental note to hang onto that particular advertisement.

» » ~ AND WHEN she starts telling you about something her best friend is going to get for Christmas, see if there's a wistful note in her voice. If there is, it means the girls have decided they both want the same thing. Pay some attention this hinting season, men, and get your wife the gift she really wants, For there's nothing more frustrating to a woman than to have hinted and hinted for a gift she's dying to have and then have her husband run out on Christmas Eve and spend a hunk of money for just anything a salesgirl tells him she is sure his wife would like.

Plastic place mats save time . , By JEAN TABBERT

THE MOST elegant of Christmas table settings often have | a pennywise basis for their appeal. That's the story behind the

one in the picture above.

Designed by Carol Stuppell, New York decorator, the “holly wreath” plastic place mats sell for 29 cents each, Green leaves,

scarlet ribbon combine to make the mats as | festive as the brightly-lighted Christmas tree..The ceramic tab-

leau of choir boys may be replaced with candle singers. Plain green and red linen napkins will sub for the more expensive metallic ones shown. Ayres’ have the linen squares at 69 cents apiece, and they are 16 and 17 inches square, The mats, also available at Ayres, are clear plastic painted with the holly wreath design. They are heat resistant, waterproof

and are guaranteed to lle flat.

Designing Woman—

By ELIZABETH HILLYER IT'S NOT too early to start making those Christmas presents you always wish you'd had time for, or those favorite items that sell so well at the Christmas benefit bazaar, A galloping hobby horse is sure to be a winner--make him of felt and oilcloth and a broom handle and see how fast he'll go. ;

Housewives wash the woodwork

in the kitchen so frequently that] the wood is apt to become dull in| appearance. Next time you wipe, off the woodwork, let it dry and! then rub with a clean cloth damp-| sned with furniture polish. It will bring back the gloss to the paint.|

The only real designing skill you need is to draw the head, but with a sketch to go by the job isn’t too difficult. Cut the two sides of the head from black felt. Cut a strip of felt three inches wide and long enough to go around the

YOUR MANNERS—

Situation: You are waiting in a doctor's room with a small and restless child. a Wrong Way: Let him wander around, poking into anything that interests him, climbing over other waiting patients, etc. Right Way: Try to keep him amused. It's always wise to take a toy or two along for the small child when you anticipate having to try to keep

*him reasonably quiet for - awhile, 2 i

Situation: You are consid-

ering having a picture of your children or of your family

group put on Christmas cards.

ness associates and persons you know only slightly as well as to your friends. Right Way: Have a more formal type card to send to business acquaintances and others who are not close friends. Send the cards with the picture to friends who will be really interested in having it.
