Eat what you can get now, but put up the red ripe strawberries so you can enjoy them next winter.

Even Hollywood can’t lure him away! John Brown, starred as ’’Melvin Foster” on "A Date with Judy,” is easily distinguished in the halls of Hollywood’s Radio City; he’s usu ally running. Tuesday nights he sprints from “Judy” to "Amos ’n' Andy," immediately following.

Small scatter rugs, stitched, tufted or woven, however you choose to make them, are ideal room brightenerg tor the bedroom, porch or playroom. Several women I know keep col lecting all their old clothing into bags, and when they feel they have enough to work with, they set them selves aside a bit of time and run | off several brand new rugs. It ’s easy to see that the outlay for this type of sewing is kept at a mini mum, and yet any investment of this kind returns its good many times in the way it brightens a room.

All Types or Rugs Need ’Backing’ Whether your rugs' are made of twine, yarn or rags, they need a backing. Burlap is the most durable of fabrics for this purpose, but any strong, tough fabric may be used. Feed bags, discarded awnings, sail cloth, and even heavy, unbleached muslin will do. A rug favorite for the living room or bedroom is the textured tufted type with a fringed border stitched on all four sides.

Introductions O YOU get tongue-tied and flustered when you have to m ake introductions? I t’s easy to avoid em barrassm ent when you know the rules.

Scenes of American prints are ap pearing in many of the new fash ions, particularly in pure silks for warm weather. Look for early American scenes when you buy prints. If you have a magnificently cut loose coat, you will be in high style for the next few months. These can be worn casually over dresses of all types as well as comfortably over suits. Selecting an evening dress for daughter? The more sophisticated gowns show bare shoulders and backs. If the dress is of the shorter variety, these are usually covered by a fine layer of net. Colors are always a fascinating item. Choose from this set to be in high fashion: kingfisher blue, pink or yellow. White is still an impor tant note in evening fashions. Hats continue to look like flower garden collections, with many mo tifs worked around the open crown type.
