A Word to the Wives

By JULIA D. HARUM No advocate of rearing children by the book, Mrs. Wilbur Jennings occasionally finds it helpful when she reaches an impasse with six-year-old Taylor and Carolyn, four, to lean on the advice of published authorities. After a recent neighborhood skirmish in which her son and daughter apparently had taken aggressive roles, she purchased a copy of "Manners Can Be Fun." On the first rainy afternoon, she sat the children down and read aloud a few pithy paragraphs anent the imprudence of individual and organized mayhem. The text left Carolyn and Taylor cold, but they were utterly entranced at the accompanying "Horrible Example" illustration which showed a young, unkempt boy, his smaller playmate over the head with a board. "That nasty little boy!" exclaimed Mrs. Jennings in tones horrified enough to point up the moral. "It's terribly dangerous to hit anyone with a board." "Yes," agreed Taylor. "It might have a nail in it." CO-ORDINATION—In the artistry of preparing a single dish, men often surpass their better halves. But placing a well balanced, well cooked meal upon the table on time—that's another matter. As one mere man put it: "I can't cook because of the awful simultaneousness of everything." OLD SOAK—Members of the good-enough-for-grandma-good-enough-for-me school of thought are welcome to this household hint filched verbatim from the 1894 edition of Dr. N. T. Oliver's "Treasured Secrets and Century Cook Book: "A black silk dress, without being washed previously, may be refreshed by being passed during 24 hours in soft, clear water; when very old and rusty, a pint of gin or whisky should be mixed with each gallon of water. This addition is an improvement under any circumstances." I should say so. CLEAN SWEEP—A newcomer to the South, known for immaculate housekeeping, aged considerably trying to figure out how to wean an otherwise exemplary cleaning woman away from her beloved broom and convert her to the vacuum cleaner. Mrs. X demonstrated the superiority of the vacuum in detaching dirt from both sides of the rugs. She requested. She pleaded. She commanded. The broom continued to raise a merry cloud of dust every Friday. The vacuum cleaner remained in the closet. One day a friend asked for latest developments and the house-wife replied airily, "Oh, that's all settled now. She got the idea." Asked the secret of her success, the woman smiled. "I sawed the handle off every broom in the house!" CHRISTMAS SEAL—Harry Kurtz comes through with first aid for fumble-fingers whose Christmas parcels usually resemble hold-overs from a rummage sale. Cut shiny, transparent Cellophane—any color—to fit the box. Wherever paper overlaps, press quickly with a hot electric iron. The heat seals the seams and turns out tidy parcels, blessedly free from unscheduled gaps and folds. COUNTER-POINTS—That Man will enjoy the Rug and Jug's humorous, novelty print cocktail napkins depicting the hazards of a golfer's life from "A Long Drive" to "A Short Putt" . . . A heart shaped compact offered by Stegeman Jewelry ggts its message across, "I Love You" is engraved on the cover in 10 different languages . . . Unexpected guests for dinner? Phone the Plaza Delicatessen and a container of crisp hot French fries will be ready for you quarter of an hour later.

ST. PHILIP'S PLANS ANNUAL BAZAAR

Come November 19th, you can do your Christmas shopping in San Salvatore Park! That's the day set by the Women's Auxiliary of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 1121 Avenue Andalusia, for its annual bazaar. Beginning at 11 a. m. and lasting throughout the afternoon, anything from luncheon sets to baby clothes will be on sale at the booths which will be located in the park directly across from the church. In fact, there will even be a white elephant table with a conglomeration of "white elephants" for sale. For the kiddies who aren't too interested in buying plants, preserves, or aprons, there will be pony rides on the Parish House grounds. Beginning at 6 p. m., a turkey dinner will be served in the church hall. Mrs. J. R. Matthews is in charge.
