SLEEVE IRONING
DETROIT, (INS) -Here's a tip
to mothers who have trouble iron
ing sleeves in little girl's dresses.
Light a small upright lamp when
beginning to iron the dress. After
pressing the rest of the dress, pull
each sleeve over the hot bulb. The
sleeve is then worked around the
bulb and it is ironed smooth
without the center crease.

MAKING THE MOST OF SMALL ROOMS
You can make any room, re
gardless of shape or size, into an
attractive, livable and distinctive
room with just a reasonable am
ount of planning. Take the very
small living room, for Instance. It
can be charmingly intimate and as
formal or as informal as you
wish it.
Furnishings for the small room
may be varied in type, but they
must be related in size, weight,
color and style. Of course, every
piece must be definitely functional
and in many instances dual-purpose
pieces are called for.
Background colors are best when
kept to subdued shades and may
be enlivened by gay, bright touch
es brought in with pictures and
lamps.
It's hard to believe that the
room sketched above is smaller
than 12' x 16', isn't it? Receding
shades of pale grey have been used
on walls and for the floor cover
ing. White draperies, hung to sim
ulate large corner windows add il
lusion of spaciousness.
Color accent has been introdu
ced in the bright book jacket on
open shelf units. A Bachelor-type
desk yields drawer space and
serves also as lamp table. The
sofa is small-scaled with greige-shot-with-gold
upholstery. Here
your small room, gracious in ev
ery detail, and easy to live in.
Looking for lamps? Come see
our attractive showrooms. We're
pleased to offer some of the love
liest new lamps . . . decorative,
study or reading types . . . that
we've ever had. YouH find exact
ly what you need.

Don't Cook Now.,.
but ... a gal recently pictured in the
news as now singing with a big dance band
and two years ago she'd never sung a note.
Judging from the sound of things, that's long
er than most of these singers have studied
voice.
Dog story . . . Sam our dog several Sat
urdays ago was allowed to come to town
in the afternoon, to sit in the car while we
worked a short shift. Every Saturday after
noon since, he has tried his best to have
me repeat the treat and I've never guessed
how he knows it's Saturday. Our only con
clusion is that when we listen to opera dur
ing the noon hour, he knows that's the Sat
urday. Wierd thought . . . Wonder what the in
side of a sequin factory looks like.
Yule Spirit . . . Window shopping in
Seattle last Monday, we saw more reluctant
husbands out shopping with their wives.
Seemed that every fellow was suffering an
guish from the crowds and fidgeting at any
delay in service. Wonder if these 3ren't the
very men who stand in line for hours for
a football ticket and simply love the crowds
that push and tussle after the game.
Something to remember . . . Ever look
in back of your brand new desk calendar?
Mine gives the population of cities over 20,
000, weights and measures, holidays, a chart
that tells what day any date fell on, parcel
post rates, social security benefits and cal
endars for 1951, 1952 and 1953. But when
we want to know the cubic measure of a gal
lon, the population of Wauwatosa, Wise, or
what social security we'll get when 65, we
never know where to go to get the informa
tion. But anyway ... A very very merry
Christmas! . . . Maxine Buren
Miss Marilyn

PAPER WEAR
NEW YORK-(INS) -A fountain
pen point is not made smoother
by continued use. The point just
seems smoother, the Sheaffer Pen
Company says, because the abra
sive quality of writing paper wears
the point slightly and adjusts it to
the owner's writing angle.
