Not Always Wise to Be Too Original in Selecting Gift for Mother’s Day
—-— _-------A -
Best Plan Is to 'Play Safe’
By Choosing Attractive
And Practical Article
Costume Jewelry and Daytime
Accessories Always Useful;
Don't Overlook That Card
By Helen Vo£t
With an almost infinitesimal fear of contradiction we'll say that
between now and Sunday there will be 253.000 family squabbles, of which
252.000 will be about what to get mom for Mother's Day. It's rather a
haphazard business anyway. ... If you prefer to keep the gift a secret
you're likely to go wrong in the selection: or. if you ask mother what
She'd like, the chances are that she’ll reply, "Not a thing. Now, don’t
spend your money on me.” So, wed say you might just as well take the
plunge, and buy a present that you think will suit the lady and be a little
more original than the ordinary. But don’t be too original: even the most
prosaic gift will be appreciated for its sentiment—and you can easily go
off the track in trying to be too “different ”
So. having got that off our mind, we'd like to mention some of the
things that always make sure-fire gift-giving. Some will be very common
place—but they're still a good choice.
This year the selection of costume jewelry is a life-saver. Whether
mother is the lavender-and-old-lace school of thought or the snappy 18
holes-of-golf type, there is just the right jewelry for her. For something
smart, and unusual, one shop has lapel watches and those on bracelets
that look just like an ice cube with the watch in the side. Very tricky. At
the same place are "sign of the zodiac” lapel pins in pastel enamel and
rhinestones, so pick out the correct *
birthday month when you choose
one of these. Equally fascinating
are the more sophisticated lapel
pins, such as a fat frog with webbed
feet- of rhinestones. There's a nice
little silver hand mirror for the
purse, too, done in the Du Barry
motif, complete with handle. ^
Purses are always a good choice,
the summer ones a much needpd
commodity right about now. Look
at the natural straw styles and
those in natural wood beads and
String, either of which refuse to soil
easily. Enamel mesh bags are be
ing shown in white for daytime and
In pastel versions for evening wear.
Alligator bags are considered very
good this season, and they come in
a range of colors. Interesting and
useful are felt knitting bags and
those of embroidered fabric with a
Botith American motif. Belts match
these, by the way. Purse kits of
silk or leather make practical gifts
and are a blessing when it comes to
keeping make-up essentials together.
And speaking of make-up, don't
forgpt that those little travel kits
axe wonderful, not too expensive
and sheer delight for vacationing.
Most of them have a couple of bot
tles and jars in a removable tray.
Jewelry kits for traveling are su
perb. too. in case mother has noth
ing in which to transport the family
hPirlooms.
If you know sizes, we’d like to
nominate sport togs as a perfectly
marvelous Mother's Day gift. Play
suits, slacks ensembles, play shoes,
beach togs and what not are very
popular. Sun glasses—really good
ones—are fine, as are cameras and
those tiny new portable radios.
Collar and cuff sets may be a
good hunch, especially in washable
varieties, and little pastel linen
jackets are charming and very use
ful. Handkerchiefs with the first
name written out are foolproof, as
are several pairs of fabric gloves
In all colors to match her many
outfits. Practically no woman likes
to buy an umbrella for herself, so
there's a fine gift idea! Just as
good are hat and bag sets of striped
fabric, in either turban or sailor
! versions and In many price ranges.
, Of course, there are always slips
| and hose and gowns, to say nothing
of sheer hostess frocks for summer
lounging or frilly bed jackets in
which to have the morning coffee.
Match 'em up with slippers, too, for
a really impressive display.
Don't forget the flowers and
candy, and please remember to put
In a nice "mushy" card.
Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lawman
In the spring a young woman's
fancy lightly turns toward thoughts
of—a lovely figure!
Summer, with its shorts, bathing
suits, and otherwise revealing garb,
soon will be here.
Many women who wear heavy
girdles in the winter discard them
for lighter, less confining ones dur
ing hot weather.
Anyway, you can't take your
girdle with you to the beach. Un
attractive bulges and excess weight
cannot be camouflaged effectively in
the summer time. Many women are
self-conscious because of flabbiness.
If you have been planning for
years to do something about it. then
play this game between now and
June. Turn your general activities
into exercises.
Just picking things up off the
floor can be changed into a most j
beneficial exercise. Stand with one 1
side toward the object of your at
tention. Instead of half bending
the knees and leaning over, keep
the back erect. (Don't bend for-'
ward from the waist.) Keep feet
fairly close together, one foot a
little more forward than the other.
Remain this way, back erect, as you
bend both knees in a deep knee
bend and pick the object from the ;
floor with the hand on the side
near it. Slowly straighten the knees.
When you first do this exercise
you may not be able to avoid bend
ing at the waist, but practice will
remedy this fault. This is fine for i
balance, and leg and thigh flabbi- I
ness.

For His Very Best Girl...
Violets always seem just right for a Mother's Day gift, but this year they're high fashion as
well. A corsage of the fresh, fragrant flowers plus a bottle of x'iolet-scented perfume or cologne
makes a welcome offering for next Sunday's celebration. Sufficiently sentimental, too!

A neat new item for the bath
room is a tooth paste or shaving
cream dispenser. This may be at
tached to the wall with household
cement or by two tiny screws. The
; top holds tooth brushes, while a
clamp at the bottom permits an
average tube of paste or cream to
be attached tightly at one end. with
the open end downward. Simply
place brush under nozzle of tube
I and turn handle to squeeze out
desired amount of paste or cream.
The dispenser is made of plastic,
is very attractive and inexpen
sive . . .
Another practical article is a
chrome-finished towel shelf. This
may be used for holding stacks of
towels, wash cloths and cleansing
tissues, or for drying hosiery and
lingerie. The ends of each bar turn
up to become convenient utility
hooks for hanging robes.
Have you seen the adjustable
frame that will fit approximatelv
1,000 sizes of pictures? It is made
of duralite with aluminum finish, j
and may be secured in silver, gold,
black or red. Attach the trim chan
nels onto the picture, snap the
patented lock and it is ready to
hang securely on the wall . . .
Place in your kitchen a shelf con
taining five glass jars of assorted
spice*. The purchaser may choose
the spices from twenty-one that are
available. They are packaged in
a transparent material with remov
able sifter tops, an important in
novation which permits the spice
jars to be closed when not in use,
and allows the spices to keep their
flavor. The complete set is very
Inexpensive . . .
Present the man of the house
with a new combination tie clip and
pencil, made so that the pencil
easily can be removed without in
terfering wdth the clip. It comes
in a gold finish . . .
One can now purchase attractive
botany frames in various shapes
and sizes. Extremely dainty in
structure and coloring, they would
be perfect in a Colonial decor. . . .
A real treat for coffee lovers is
the new brew that is quick and easy
to make. It will save many precious
minutes when you need them most.
Just put a teaspoonful of powdered
coffee extract In a cup, add hot
water and serve. . . .
Corn spears made of clear lucite
would be a smart gift for a bride.
These are comparatively inexpen
sive and look well with almost any
type of table service....
A sensible toy for the baby Is a
set of interlocking building cubes,
self-colored and absolutely “fast”
even to constant biting. Made of a
plastic material, each cube is a dif
ferent shade. ...
Place on your “what-not” stand
an antique Wedgewood pin box in
green with white embossed figures
around the sides. This is a very
unusual piece and one can tell at a
glance that it is quite old. ...
An attractive costume pin is made
of wood in the form of a hand with
a ball and several jacks dangling
from it. This bright “conversation
piece” certainly will remind you of
your childhood days when “jacks”
was one of the favorite games. . . ,
Decorative Scheme
The decorative scheme for a bed
room furnished in mahogany was
suggested by an entry in Samuel
Pepys Diary, "I bought my wife a
chint for her to hang on her wall.”
The “chint” used in this room was
a documentary 18th century chintz
patterned in a flower and scroll
design in blue and tan on a white
ground and the entire wall behind
the canopied bed was hung with it.
The bed itself had a ruffled organdy
spread with the canopy top in
organdy also. Blue faille silk
draperies repeated the soft blue of
the chintz.

Dorothy Dix Says —
Girls Like to Be Treated With
Firmness by Men F'riends
Dear Miss Dix: Honestly, do you
think it pays to treat women with
kindness and respect? Girls have
never taken to me, but women older
than myself have been my good
friends and have helped me at all
: times to get along in life. One
of these, who is 45 years old, beau
| tiful and sweet, says that she loves
me like a mother loves her child,
but she is not in love with me. M.v
present girl calls me her “steady,”
but she does not hesitate to Break
a date and put it off for two or
three days, and since it does not
cause me any inconvenience, I have
always acted decently about it. My
boy pal says I am an easy mark
and that I should tell her where
she can go to when she breaks dates
and that she will like me better for
it. Will you tell me once and for
j all how to get along with women?
I don't understand them. C. J. C.
Answer—Thrre Is no infallible
rule for getting along with women
as there is for making a cup cake.
You can’t say: Take so much of the
sugar of love, so much of the butter
of flattery, so much of the flour of
constancy, with a dash of flavoring
of jealousy to give it taste and you
will have a compound that will
make a girl eat out of your hand.
Different women like different
things in men. and you have to vary
your treatment to suit the individual
case. There are women who want
to be cajoled and flattered and told
how wonderful and beautiful they
are, and how different from other
women, and how a man could not
live without them. Other women
are nauseated by perpetual love
making. There are women who like
to make doormats out of men. and
other women have a contempt for
a man who lets a girl trample on
him. There are women who are
incapable of ever loving any one but
themselves, and still other women
who never feel anything but a ma
ternal love for a man. And so on,
endlessly.
So you see a man must first size
up a girl's character and then fit
his courtship to her, and even then
he may not always win out, for love
is not a matter of logical cause and
effect. It is an impulse that comes
like the wind and goes like the
wind, we know not why.
Taking your own caw as an ex
ample, I should say that probably
the reason you have never made a
hit with young girls is because you
are too mature, too intelligent for
them. The average debutante wants
to jump around and dance and go
places where there are lights and
noise.
She is bored to tears with a man
who wants to talk about serious
topics, and regards one who isn't
a jitterbug as something practically
prehistoric that should be in a
museum instead of trying to date
git Is.
This contention is still further
borne out by the fact that older
women have liked you and helped
you, but they did not permit them
selves to fall in love with you be
cause they recognized the folly it
would have been and, moreover,
knew that you would never return
their affection except in a filial way.
I agree with your friend that you
are making a mistake in letting
your current girl friend break dates
with you because, first, it kills her
respect for you. Every woman has
a secret contempt for the man who
will let her play fast and loose with
him and use him as a convenience.
In their souls, women like to be
dominated by men. There is no
more curious difference between the
sexes than this—that a man can
look down on his wife and still
love her. but a woman must look up
to her husband in order to keep on
loving him.
In addition to this, when a girl
breaks dates with you it is because
she doesn't reaHy care for you. You
don’t interest her. You bore her.
and she merely puts up with you
for the sake of having an old reli
able whom she can fall back upon
when some youth nearer to her
heart’s desire doesn’t show up.
As nearly as I can sum it up in
general terms, women like men who
treat them kindly, but who do not
let them impose on them; who are
generous to them, but don't let
them play them for suckers. Who
j defer to their wishes in small mat
! ters, but decide the important af
fairs themselves; who refuse to let
themselves be tyrannized over or
dictated to. DOROTHY DIX.

Recent Sunday Afternoon
Spent in Nearby Camp
Productive of Ideas
Social Aspects of Army Life
Prove Most Interesting and
Really Informative
By Kay Caldwell and Alden Harrison I
After spending a recent Sunday afterpoon in one of the ramps
where selectees are being made into soldiers, we came away with a number
of ideas about the social aspects of Army life, and the effect they are
having on the boys concerned. We think these ideas will be of interest
to the friends and families of fellows who are already in the service, as
well as to those boys who expect to go to camp in the near future.
There were few visitors in the camp that day because of bad weather.
Many of the boys had gone into town over the week end. <In fact, we .
took two of them In with us Sunday evening. They had dates with a '
couple of girls who had been out to a dance at the camp on the preceding
Friday night.)
We sat around in the day room of the barracks, and it reminded us
of nothing so much as the living room of a fraternity house on a dull mid
term Sunday. The room, on the second floor of the barracks, was attrac
tively furnished with chairs and sofas upholstered in red leather. In one
corner a group of fellows was gathered about an expensive radio-phono
graph, but the program coming over the air was getting important
competition lrom a ".iam session" downstairs.
There the camp 'cats" had assembled drums, banjo, guitar and
several wind instruments around a piano, and they were really bearing
it out. They were dead on the beam<
as far as rhythm was concerned.
As for melody—well, anyway, It was
loud.
Ten feet from the piano a quartet
was shooting pool, and an innocent
card game was in progress in an
other corner. Back upstairs, fellows
were sprawled comfortably about
the room, reading magazines and
Sunday papers, or just talking. A
rack was jammed with all the latest
magazines and brookcases held the
Harvard classics and an encyclo
pedia. Many additional books were
available in the camp library for
those who wanted them.
Mesr call sounded while we were
there W* heard only the first few
notes; the rest was drowned in a
mad scramble to get down to the
mess hall. The fellows reported
that the food was good, and that
they were eating more than they i
had ever eaten in their lives before. !
Service is ‘'family style,” and the
fellow who takes the last helping
out of a bowl, holds it aloft to
be refilled with one hand, while
continuing to shovel in the food
with the other.
Eating is a serious business, with
California Play Shoes
Described by Expert
One of the principal reasons that
your California play shoes have been
such sheer delights in recent years
is because one of the largest manu
facturers is lucky enough to employ
Mrs. Mary Thacker. This charming
fashion expert was in a local store
yesterday, explaining all about the
new casual shoes for leisure and
sports wear as well as letting the
local ladies in on the first look at
beachwear. She takes an annual
trek across the country, gathering
ideas on what women want and.
in return, seeing that the creators
of these superb shoes give it to ’em.
This year Mrs. Thacker is enthusi
astic about a new color called Palo
mino. named for California's famed
horses and, we'll have you know,
one of the 50 new words recently
admitted to the dictionary. Other
causes for her excitement are huge
beach kits to match play shoes and
tiny bags that hold cigarettes and
enough money for an ice cream cone.
Color is very important in play
shoes this season and these include
a new group of tones designed to
go with black bathing suits, as well
as a number of fiowerlike shades
and some inspired by the “cowboy
influence.”
The collection which embraces
many novel shoes this year also has
a wealth of those classic types with
the padded sole, a fashion which
has remained popular for some six
years and which has more versions
than Coney Island addicts have
blisters.
The display looks more tempting
than ever, and Mrs. Thacker says
! that the West Coast expects play
shoes to be more generally worn
than in any past season. With her
knowledge and fashion sense and
the array of smart new shoes we're
inclined to think that she s not far
wrong! h. v>
Vacuum Cleaners
Vacuum deanery perform best
when they are kept in good condi
tion. Oil them often, cut threads
from the brush and empty the
dust bag after each using. To
empty the bag. shake the dust down
into one end, then carefully remove
the tube and shake the dust onto a
dampened newspaper. Roll it up
and discard. When dust comes out
of the sides or end of the bag when
cleaning, the bag needs replacing.
To Clean Candles
Clean soiled light colored candles
by rubbing gently and quickly with
a cloth rinsed out of warm water.
Lay the candles on a flat surface to
dry.

little time wasted on conversation.
A meal takes about 10 minutes.
Probably your brother or your boy
friend will need a short refresher
course on his table manners when
he gets back from the Army.
In the barracks themselves, there
was an atmosphere of order and
cleanliness that would shame any
dormitory or fraternity house. Every
cot 'and they are comfortable* was
as neat as though it had been made
up by a trained nurse. At the head
of each hung the occupant's field
pack, complete with tin hat and
gas mask; at the foot was his “foot
locker." a small steamer trunk con
taining his personal possessions and
clothing.
Uniforms, dungarees, overcoat
etc., hung on hangers on a pole at
the foot of the bed. Shoes and ga
loshes were neatly ranged under
the cot. If these fellows will carry
over to civilian life half the lessons
in neatness they are learning in the
Army, their mothers and wives will
call them blessed.
In the outfit we visited, the selec
tees are mixed in with the Regular
Army veterans, and the boys claim
they learn more about soldiering
from these old-timers than they
do from their officers—which is ex
actly what the Government in
tended.
Most of the feliows are enjoying
themselves, In spite of loss of jobs
or businesses, being away from
friends and families, and so on.
The camp has a healthful air of
masculine camaraderie. Boys from
different parts of the country and
from different walks of life are
mingling, getting to know each
other's viewpoint, trading ideas and
experiences.

RECIPES OF A ROLLING STONE.
By Katherine del Valle. Cow
ard-McCann, Inc., New York.
This collection of recipes, gath
ered from various parts of the world
during the author's travels as the
wife of a marine officer assigned
to numerous posts, contains many
interesting and appealing dishes.
Although most of them are fairlv
familiar to those who have made
a hobby of culinary matters, there
are some that seem distinctly un
usual and should give a dec’d°d .
fillip to the luncheon or dinner at
which they are featured.
The book is really a volume in
tended for the mistress of the
house rather than for constant use
below stairs. In fact, it contains
so many anecdotes concerning the
trials and tribulations of the au
thor's numerous rooks that per
haps it would not be even tactful
to suggest its perusal by a present
incumbent of such an office! How
ever, arrangements could be made
to try out the recipes without hurt
ing the feelings of any one who
might feel that some of the per
sonal sketches struck too close to
home!
The book is charmingly presented,
has an easy, light style that makes
it eminently readable and is bound
in neat beige waterproof cloth.

MUSHROOM COOKERY. Bv Hel
mut Ripperger. George W.
Stewart, Publisher, Inc., New
York.
A newcomer to the group of
“specialty’’ cookbooks, this slim
volume, gaylv bound in bright pink,
contains a collection of recipes that
should make the most hard-boiled
gourmet cry like a child with jov.
There are about 100 of them—each
a little gem, and. just to gild the
lily, there's a clever literary or
historical quotation on mushrooms
atop every page. There's a dream
called 'Iced Mushrooms" that
sounds like the answer to a Wash
ington summertime prayer; there's
a concoction with sour cream called
“Mushrooms Floburt’’ that sounds
too good to be true; there's—oh,
but why go on torturing ourselves
when it's hours to dinner time, any
way? Just go grt the book ar.d
have a good time yourself! B. C.
