Your child may hot laugh and skip with joy when you inform her that it's time for her
bath. But she'll certainly take the event more happily if she has her own bath stick full
of fragrant salts to empty into the tub, "just like Mommy does." After all the bath
sticks are used up she can use the box when playing "house." Or else Mom can use
the- box to keep cleansing tissues.

Some»people have heard of her
modern miracle of covering up the
mark with a cream that conceals
all blemishes. But for those who
haven't, it's greaseless, waterproof,
is quickly applied and stays on all
day and evening. Investigated and
tested by the medical profession,
the cream has been proven sound

SOAPLESS BUT SUDSY: The
top flight executive of a big cos
metic firm has really gone heady.
She's brought forth a new alkali
free liquid shampoo that helps
counteract dryness and is wonderful
for removing dandruff flakes. Plenty
of suds, though, help make the hair
soft, fluffy and shiny. And better
yet, the hair is quite manageable
right after shampooing.
SCENTED LACQUER: Now what's
that? Well, it's about the most un
usual way of using a fragrance that
we've run across. It's made for use
in linen closets, underneath shoe
and hat shelves, under occasional
tables, and to use beneath your win
dow sills. The lacquer dries in half
an hour and will not chip. Later
on if you desire another scent, just:
w-ash off the old one with soap and
water. Let dry thoroughly and apply
your new favorite. You can apply
the scented lacquer easily enough
with an ordinary paint brush. It
comes in six fragrances, Cannation,
Gardenia. Tapestry. White Lilac.;
Strategy' and Heliotrope. Here's a
novel way to scent the closets and
bureau drawers in your room.
SUMMER STRATEGY: Right atj
the close of summer when parched
skins need toning-up. comes a nice
bit of news that a well-known firm
is featuring a half-price sale on
their fine creams. Wind, water, and
the hot summer sun have probably
had a grand time beating on your
face while you were at the beach.|
But now you need something to
take away the harshness and the1
dryness. There's no doubt about the
timeliness of this company's offer
to help you pave the way for your
new’ fall cosmetics with a soft,1
smooth skin. I
Dorothy Dix Says—
The thing that the average in
dividual craves more than anything
else in the world is personal liberty
and. although we all feel this uni
versal urge, it is the one privilege we
are never willing to grant to others.
This is one of the strangest vagaries
of human nature, because few of us
are conceited enough to think that
we are incarnate wisdom, that our
tastes are impeccable, and our man
ners and our morals a pattern for
all to follow. Yet we spend our lives
trying to make all with whom we
come in contact rubber stamps of
ourselves, and denying them any
right to self-expression.
And. curiously enough, the more
love people, the more determined
we are to enslave them. Yet we all
know that the very essence of happi
ness is freedom to be ourselves, and
to be able to do what we want to
do when we want to do it, without
being put through a third-degree
Inquisition, or having had such a
fight over it that the victory isn't
worth what it costs.
While this is true of life in gen
eral, it is doubly and tragically true
of family life, in which bossiness
does more to disrupt than all of the
major and minor sins combined.
For it is not the effort to escape the
responsibility of their marriage vows
that sends four couples out of five
to the divorce court, and that makes
children go to live among strangers
as soon as they can stand on their
own feet: it is just that they have
endured all the petty tyranny they
can stand.
This gives us the pitiful cases of
the married couples who cannot un
derstand why their husbands and
wives are unhappy. The husband
will tell you how generous he has
been to his wife and how he hag
hung her in pearls and clothed her
in mink, but he has never given
her a single hour of personal liberty.
She has always had to account to

No. 1—The first cool winds of late summer and early fall and the
rustle of falling leaves make us turn to autumnal combinations of
fruits and flowers. Here are two suggestions for that first fall table.
The one sketched—in the upper right panel—is perfect for all sorts of
Informal entertaining. As a central feature fill in an oval, copper
basin with limes, lemons, crabapples, tiny pears, quinces or any other
fruit you like. Use sprigs of laurel or pachvsandra to separate the
fruits and provide a pleasant note of color contrast. I filled this
container with pebbles, arranged the fruit on top of the pebbles, and
then filled the container with water up to the base of the fruit. This
system supplies ample water for the flower accents. My pair of salt
boxes above and to either side of the arrangement looked very hand
some. Th.s arrangement is just rs attractive for a buffet breakfast
as for a midnight supper.
Wo. 2—An intriguing and edible centerpiece can be arranged by
Using green, red or purple grapes and sprigs of fresh green parslev
The parsley form is attractively different from the grape clusters so
that the two can be contrasted very much as you would contrast
flower forms in an arrangement. Start with a central holder, mound
your grapes around it and Jet them radiate out from the center, fill in
Wjth crisp bunches of parsley or flowers if vou prefer. A few elegant
Iboking gardenias or sprays of gilded wheat may be added for the
luxury note if you have rather formal accessories.
him for everything she did. The wife
tells how she has sacrificed herself
for her husband, but she has never
been big enough to sacrifice the
pleasure of nagging him.
None of us but have' reason to
notice how often widows and wid
owers, no matter how faithful they
have been to their dear departed,
manifest the spirit of children let
out of school w’hen their jailers
pass on. They suddenly become
young and gay again and run hither
and thither, reveling In the artless
joy of having personal liberty for
the first time in years.
I once asked a little 4-year
old child what she would like to t
have more than anything else for;
her birthday present. She thought'
a long time and then she said: *'I
would rather walk around the block;
without anybody holding my hand"
Don't we grownup* often feel the
same way? And if we could have!
our hearts’ desire, wouldn’t it be
to have our families grant us a little
personal liberty? Wouldn’t it be
grand to be able to eat what w’e
liked without being told how bad it
is for our stomachs or how many
calories it contained: to be able to
sit up half the night and read ani
absorbing novel without some one
knocking on our door and telling us
we should go to sleep; to buy the
clothes that hit our own taste with
out being told that they are too
young for us, or being asked the
price: in'short, to be able to do as
we pleased without having to furnish
an alibi for our acts?
But it is a joy we will never know,
for our families will give us any
thing else in the world except per
sonal liberty.
WhyGrow
Old?
Josephine Lowman
It Is natural that I should receive
a great many letters asking what
to do about pulls and lines and
circles about the eyes for this is one
of the strategic spots when it
comes to how young or how old a
woman looks.
The tendency to circles seems to
be inherited. They often run in
families. However, loss of sleep,
malnutrition, too little outdoor exer
cise and disease can also produce
them. If you are subject to them
put yourself on the best he*lth
routine possible. After that there
are cosmetic products which will
cover up the dark discoloration
which often accompanies them.
Always apply lubricating cream to
your face and allow it to soak in
before doing any facial exercises.
After you have done this pull the
eye lids together, pushing one
against the other. After you prac
tice for a while you will be able
to lift the muscles underneath the
skirt under the eyes without in
dulging in extreme squinting. Place
your fingertips under your eyes and
feci the muscles move under your
fingers.
Daily care in this small matter
will bring you big dividends in
prolonged youthful appearanoe.
Whenever you see a woman who
looks years younger than she is
you can usually be certain that 6he
has been faithful in many such
small matters.
If you wish to have my leaflet
No. 60, "Puffs and Lines Under the
Eyes,” send a stamped, self-ad

UNUSUAL PASTRY?
(From Mrs. V. H. McG.,
Washington.)
Does any one happen to have a
recipe for a pastry called "smear
faces?" I understand it's something
like the cream puff pastry, only I
shaped in a circle and folded over.)
There's a creamy filling inside, and
the edges of the pastry are left open.

OATMEAL MUFFINS?
KNITTING BOOK?
(From Mrs. R. J. S.. Washington.)
Perhaps some of the readers can
give me a reoipe for rolled oats
muffins. The recipe in which I am
interested used to appear on the
oatmeal box'es aboMt fifteen or
twenty years ago. ana the identify
ing characteristic is that the milk
was scalded before being poured
over the rolled oats. I have found
other recipes for oatmeal muffins,
but it is this one which I partic
ularly want.
Can any one tell me where to
get an instruction book for making
afghans? I am sure that one of
the yam companies used to publish
a booklet, but I have been unable
to find it. I want to knit an afghan,!
not, crochet it, and I d like to see
some good patterns.

PLANT PROBLEMS;
EXCHANGES OFFERED.
(From Mrs. C. O . Washington.)
A friend of mine was telling me
about growing asparagus in the
house as it is a pretty fern. Could
some one tell me anything about it?
Maybe some reader can help me
out who had the experience with
asparagus growing.
Also I would like to trade some
coleus and night-blooming cereus
for some Christmas cactus.
i From Mrs. R. L. F., Riverdale. Md.)
In answer to Mrs. J. S., Washing-'
ton, I have been told that African
violets won't bloom until roots fill
pot. I received one as a gift over
two years ago. I divided it into
three plants; they are blooming
nicely now. I have nearly a dozen
plants I rooted ready to transplant.
I root my violets in wet sand, use
cither a fish bowl or glass cracker
jar, put sand about 3 inches deep,
pour water over it until sand is wet.
Push stems of leaves down to base
of leaf, cover with glass. When large
drops of water start dripping from
cover put to one side for a few
minutes. It takes quite a while for
plant to put out young leaves.
Do any of the readers have the
apple and rose geranium? I would
like to exchange an African violet
for cuttings. Mine are purple.
ELASTIC IN SHOES?
(From A. C., Hyattsville.)
Can some one please suggest a
way to "relax” the elastic in a pair
of elasticized black suede shoes
which draw the feet after being
worn several hours?
May I say a word in behalf of
short hair for little girls, especially .
during hot weather? it is so much ,
more comfortable for the child and
also easier for the’ one who takes ■
care of it.

STEWED CHICKEN; (
DEHYDRATED PARSLEY. i
(From Mrs. E. C. W., Silver Spring.) t
To Mrs. C. A. C„ Palls ChUrch:
Try adding milk or a little cream
to stewed chicken gravy, then a
small amount of yellow vegetable
coloring. You will find the eye
appeal Improved. I also add a
bouillon cube to stewed chicken,
it seems to point up the flavor,
and it also changes the color a
bit. The bouillon cubes will help
the color of most stews.
Have you tried dehydrating pars
ley in a cool oven, after the heat
is turned ofT, and keeping in a
dark place, to use as garnish for
stews, mashed potatoes, etc.? If
dried out carefully on a paper towel
on the broiler rack, it will retain
its bright green color and will keep
indefinitely.

REFINISHING WALLS?
DINING ROOM CHAIRS?
(From Mrs. 1}. M. H.. Arlington.)
We are planning to reflnish our
walls in the living room, once
painted with water color paint. The
walls are a horrible shade of rose,
very deep. My slip covers are green
and deep red and I plan to use
either ivory or a pale green water
thinned paint again. Has any one
ever tried spraying on that sort
of paint with a vacuum cleaner
sprayer and how did it. work out?
I also plan to spray the walls In
the basement and recreation room
with the same type of paint and
would like to do the walls there
in a yellow. Would like to paint
the floor wtth some sort of enamel.
Can some one suggest what should
be used to cover an ordinary con
crete basement floor? It was painted
once before by former owners but
most of the paint Is gone. Also
can some one please tell me what
sort of cleaner to use to remove
spots of grease before painting the
dining rooms with water color paint?
I am afraid it will come right
through.
Second. I am wondering if some
one could tell me what type of
chairs I could use with an old
dining room table that belonged
to my husband's grandmother. It is
about 60 years old and has spool
type legs and stretchers. The chairs
have long since been lost or broken.
I love the table and am planning
to use it in my small dining room
where it will be ideal because it
closes to such a small size but has
innumerable leaves to stretch its
length to 8 feet’ should the need
arise or should I ever get a dining
room that would "take it.”
This is my second call on the
Clearing House, which is wonder
ful. Keep it up. Wish we could
have a whole page of our own every
day, even Sunday!
CHANGING RCH NAME
iFrom Miss E. L. Y.. Washington.) i
I notice J. K. P.'s suggestion that
the name of the RCH be changed.'
I don't think any other name could
suit it any better. And if the peo
ple who read it can't remember it
as the "Clearing House." is it likely
that they would be able to remem
ber another name?
* * * *
CLOTHING FOR CHILD.
tFrom Mrs. M. J. F.. Washington.)
Mrs. L. C. H.. Arlington: Don't
let "New England" scare you. It's
cold but not changeable as here
You will perhaps use a pram suit
as here, but put a sweater under it
and an extra blanket at night. Mit
tens, soakers and bonnets need to
be warm. There is a nice suit for
babies who spend much time on the
floor. It has a butcher boy top and
slacks. Wind will blow through a
knit bonnet more than one made
of wool flannel or other woven ma
terial. I w'ould say. make extra
sweaters, mostly.

"THANK YOU” NOTE;
* CORN BREAD?
(From Mrs. C. S„ Arlington.)
I d like to thank the readers who
told me how to get rid of red ants,
and the readers who sent recipe for
mashed potato salad.
One more request—a recipe for
corn bread using water-ground corn
meal buttermilk and soda.
Over the Back Fence
By Isabel Hack eft
We ere quite unenthusiastic over the recent announcement
that the telephone company has "greater things in store" for us
than the "modern miracle” of the dial phone.
One of the great things,.it seems, is that "some day, it will be
possible for you to dial across the United States as simply and
promptly as you dial a neighbor now.”
We hope very much this development won't be perfected until
the three teen-agers in our family have homes and telephones of
their own. Right now. we f?el, wed like less rather than more
service. It is too simple and easy to dial local friends for long
discussions of movies, clothes or the latest date. We can only con- j
template with horror a system which would enable the teen-agers
to casually call up friends anywhere in the United States.
* * * *
A gentleman we know has been trying to sell his house. Judging
by the columns of “for sale” ads in the papers, this is an effort in
which many people are engaged. He asked a sum which experts had
assured him was a fair price for these times, though of course it was
a good deal more than he paid for the house.
The gentleman is a very honest citizen. He never buys black mar
ket tires or steak, or calls the bills for dinner parties at expensive
hotels "business expenses” to reduce his taxes. So he was pretty mad
when one prospective buyer, looking hard at a place where the plaster
was off the wall, called him a “war profiteer.” With the Garsson busi
ness and all, he felt this was a Grade A insult. He pointed out with
dignity that she needn't look at the rest of the house if that was the
way she felt, and said anyway, the war was over, so her epithet was
also technically incorrect.
The lady showed she knew her Current Events by retorting she had
a perfect right to use the term, historically speaking, because the war
isn't over till the peace treaties are signed, and anybody w'ho tries to make
a big profit is a war profiteer.
By this time the gentleman was feeling so upset he decided right on
the spot to keep his house for a w'hile longer, anyway. Probably just
as well.
+ * * *
Our attitude toward monthly bills <badi is not changed by the
growing practice of including wuth each bill a small folder urging us
to buy face powder blended just for us, cold cream made with
turtle oil. hormones, or vitamins, or a lotion for “disturbed skins.”
Considering we gbt five such folders with the most recent
batch of bills, and one of them was headed “If you are over 30 this
Is for YOU,” we think word must have got around that we've been,
as the saying is. letting yourself go. Seems there# an oil we could
buy for $5 which would “help you achieve beauty by retarding the
appearance of aging.” This is on the illogical assumption that we
were beautiful to begin with. The folder is headed by a picture of
a lady in a white fur coat, which we bet would do a lot more for
our looks than skin oil.
, Only one of the folders that really appeals to us is the one
saying, surprisingly enough, “You have three faces.” The face
you have, it said, depends on which of three kinds of makeup
foundation you buy. There's nothing we need worse than two
more faces, so we read on. One kind of cream, it said, would give
its user the “young, young look,” one the glamorous look, and one
the luminous look. The last, for obvious reasons, seemed the only
possibility. Lately we have had the worried look caused by basic i
world difficulties, and the glazed look caused by our own private
troubles when we go marketing or shopping for the Family Provider
and the teen-agers. We'd love to look luminous for a change.
“Grocery bills up 33 per cent since last winter,” said a head
line. Wish we hadn't remembered that right while we were con
sidering the luminous look” at *1.50 a jar.
Anybody know where we can get a good 10-cent cake of soap?
+ * * *
Several people, full of energy, which we aren’t, have been asking us'
to join organizations of high and urgent purpose, or to be on committees, i
What with getting the teen-agers outfitted for school, hunting for meat
and sugar in the stores, and cleaning the basement after the winter's
supply of coal came in, we've been in an antiorganization-and-committee
mood.
The only national organization We would join at the moment is thei
American Bison Society. We found it listed in an old Nature book belong
ing to the youngest teen-ager. The American Bison Society; simple,
and probably noncontroversial. Ah. the good old days when citizens could
give time and thought to the welfare of the American bison! We thought
both the bison and the society must be extinct: its members drifted
away to organizations like the Conference for Civilian Control of Atomic
Energy, or groups working for world government or European relief.
We checked, and were pleasantly surprised to find that neither the
American bison nor the Bison Society is gone, though both have been
rather inactive. The organization has a president and New York na
tional headquarters. This is refreshing and reassuring. There are some
people who believe that the world will some day shake down to the point
where Nature Lovers can again have regular meetings, issue reports and
promote public interest in the welfare of the American bison. We believe
in supporting such a group; we’ll join up right now if anybody asks us.
