Just us hot rooms cun be cooled
with the use of certain colors, so
can tables achieve the same at­
mosphere. Properly, every dining
room should be equipped with
tablecloths, doilies, napkins and
dishes which suggest wurmth or
coolness, euch to be used In ap­
propriate seasons.
Shades of blue and green, as
well us some of the light pastels
Keep Edgings Hmall,
Neat for fo o l Look
Any edgings which ore heavy,
even though they might fit the ma­
terial, will detract from the cool
look you want to accomplish. Stay
with the very simple edgings, be
they lace already made or cro­
cheted by you on the material at
hand.
Contrasting bindings are very
neat and cool, especially when
chosen in the cool colors already
mentioned.
Any of the colors
would be appropriate with white,
and should be chosen to highlight
one of the colors used on your set
of dishes

glase with a wreath of ivy In

ural colored mats and simply

cluttered look on the table.
are all correct to use when the
weather Is blistering hot. These
colors inay be used advantageous­
ly in linens as well as in china or
pottery.
If you eat In the dining room,
then your coolest shades of these
colors should be used. If eating
out-ofdoors, slightly warm er col­
ors and more rustic effects are ap­
propriate.
Neatness Is of prime Importance
In giving the table a cool look be­
cause It suggests calm. Anything
wrinkled or even slightly soiled
should be tossed aside because It
suggests confusion and turmoil,
and accents the effects of the
weather
Some smart homemakers use
only their sheerest cottons and
linens during warm weather, and
they starch these lightly so they
are smooth and cool looking and
give on unwilted appearance dur­
ing hot days. Add to these their
lightweight
dishes
and
frosted
glasses, and you have some Idea
of how cool looking tables can
really be.
It's Important not to overload the
table, but to keep it as orderly as
possible. A single blossom In a
small, dainty bowl of clear water
cun be more effective than a whole
massed arrangement of flowers.
Plain Cotton Remnants
Make Attractive Doilies
After you’ve cheeked your sup­
ply of table linens and decide that
you need some first aid In that de­
partment. check your supply of
old cotton remnants. Old table­
cloths. sheets, towels and pillow­
cases can often be made into a set
of dollies and napkins.
White may be used successfully
to achieve a cool look, but you may
want to renew the finish to some
extent If the material Is old and
somewhat wilted Launder It care­
fully and let It dry In the sun to
bleach It out. For any stubborn
stains, use r bleaching solution,
rinse carefully and let dry.
If the cottons are sheer, you’ll
want to starch them rather stiff,
but this may be done after you've
finished s e w i n g or decorating
them. When heavy, textured fab­
rics are used, you can dispense

these materials have enough inter­

Other sources of material may
Include organdies, starched voile
or sheer linen toweling See what
you have In the way of leftover
materials from previous sewing. If
the search yields little, you might
check remnant counters as a
source.
Should you d e c i d e on colors,
white cottons as well as other fab­
rics might be tinted or dyed to go
with dishes you have. It ’s easy to

The simplest edging to apply Is a

A house in a congested neigh­
borhood caught fire,
and the
flames spread swiftly to several
other buildings. To prevent a gen­
eral conflagration, the mayor of
the town ordered the dynamiting
of the next house in the path of the
flames—and the firemen carried
out his order. This helped stop the
blaze, but It made the owner of
the house very angry. In fact, he
later sued the mayor for the value
of the building.
However, the
court turned down the citizen’s
claim.

boy filpd suit against the state for

such claims In cases of negligence.
State officials argued that the boy
had only himself to blame for
losing his footing, but the court
ordered the claim paid The judge
said that such a dangerous spot
should have had warning signs or
guard rails to protect the unwary
public.
Keep Table Centerpiece
Inform al and Cool
Heavy, form al flower, fruit and
other arrangements for the center-
piece are out of place when you
are trying to keep the table as
serene and cool as possible. You’ll
be amazed at how much easier it
is to achieve the desired effect
with easy arrangements
Branches or flowers with small
blossoms may be used with more
profusion than large ones, and it’s
an excellent Idea to include some
of the foliage with them because
the green coloring lends cool en­
chantment to the summer table.
Use the simplest containers you
have. A neatly woven basket fitted
with a water container at the bot­
tom can be a very effective setting
for many blossoming branches. It
might also be used for an edible
centerpiece of vegetable or fruit.
Glass containers are very cool
appearing, especially when you can
see the clear water. If you use
these containers for some of the
larger flowers, use only a few
blossoms so the effect of the water
can be appreciated fully.
KATHLEEN NORRIS
Every Generation Has Dangers
rrv g rH A T ABOUT my teen-age
YV daughters?” women from
Maine to Monterey have been asking
me, during the last puzzling years.
"What about dates, and night clubs,
and going steady?”
"Yes, what’s happened to the
kids?” demands India Roberts of
Denver, Col. "Are the 14-year-olds
in your town talking beaux and
dates and who is going with whom?
My husband and I are nearly fran­
tic," the letter goes on. "Our Phyl­
lis Is 13. Frances two years older.
They are lovely girls, good students,
helpful at home, gay, and they are
all our world. But ever since school
started last fall we have been flood­
ed with girl-boy talk: long-legged
young creatures infest our down­
stairs playroom; and every week
end presents a problem.
“ Fran has ’gone steady’ with a
boy fur months; little Phil Is rapidly
following suit. They only want to
do ’what the other girls mothers
let them do,’ but isn't that a lot
more than girls so young ought to
be allowed to do? Movies, in parties
of four or six; school dances; house
parties. And they all pair off as na­
turally as if they had been m ar­
ried for years.
Dangers and Advantages
"Now isn’t this very unhealthy?
Doesn’t It stimulate desires and
emotions that belong to much later
years? Doesn’t it take the bloom
off our girls? You’ve been asked
this question thousands of times;
what is your solution?”
Well, India, in the first place, this
situation isn't all wrong. Like every
other custom of every other genera­
tion, it has its dangers, and its ad­
vantages. There are good things
in this sudden leap from childhood
into understanding—understanding
on this question of sex, if back of
the girl and the boy there is a sane,
affectionate family as a rock of se-
uncertainties until one's card was
full. I recommend Rosamund Leh­
man’s delightful novel "Invitation
To The W altz” as a perfect picture
of what a dance meant then to a
shy, unpopular girl.
"Going Steady”
Now. strangely enough, today's
teen-agers have accomplished what
chaperons and mothers and patron­
esses have vainly tried to achieve
for
whole
generations.
“Going
steady" merely means, in the life
of a protected, dignified small girl,
that she has a sure partner for
movie companionship, at school
dances, on all-day parties. She likes
him with all the honesty she shows
her girl friendships; they save each
other endless uncertainties, endless
chances to establish an inferiority
complex, an unpopularity complex,
for all the years of their lives.
Victorian girls never talked to
men at all, except when in the
presence of their elders. Girls of
my generation confined themselves
to endless friendships with their
own sex, but became muscle bound,
affected and nervous when men
came around. Today’s custom does
away with both these unnatural
conditions.
But like all other new things we
have to see in it a challenge to a
new moral.
Like the rules we make for our
children concerning radio, movies,
motors, planes, we have met this
Juvenile development with an in­
crease of dignity, self-control, duty.

Girls 100 years ago were simper­
ing, ignorant, romantic misses, so
protected, so sheltered, so kept in
the dark that marriage to them was
often a serious disillusionment and
a shock. Managing mammas in­
veigled the groom into proposing,
and pompous papas arranged the
dowry. Without that dowry European
girls could not hope for marriage
at all.
We who were school girls 50 years
ago didn't have the managing mam­
mas, and dots and doweries were
never American institutions. But
we did have all the awkwardness,
shyness, ignorance that made social
events agonies for youngsters of
both sexes. And believe me, we
took just as poignant and obsessive
an interest in the subject of sex as
do girls of today; only we knew
nothing about it, and were not al­
lowed to question. For us it was all
suspicion, tittering, surmise and
mystery. Dances were miserable
NEW ARK, N. J. — The Newark
Fam ily service bureau has heard
that—believe it or not—some peo­
ple weren’t on pleasant enough
terms with their mothers-in-law to
send them sincere best wishes a
few weeks ago,, on Mother's day.
The bureau wants to correct that
situation.
In the apparent belief that—with
an eye to next Mother's day—you
can’t begin improving mother-in-
law relations too early, the bureau
is distributing a few suggestions.
It says that if you want all to be
well with your spouse’s mother by
next May, then start trying right
now not to:
Live under the same roof with
your mate’s parents.
Make n habit of borrowing money
from them.
Ask your mother-in-law to look
after your children every time you
want to step out.
Ask your spouse’s mom for sym­
pathy and advice too often. (This,
says the bureau, very often leads
to fam ily quarrels.)
What’s more, do not get excited
If mother-in-law occaslonaly buys
junior an expensive toy or "special
treat” that perhaps you wouldn’t
spend the money for. (Here the
emphasis should be on the word
"occasional,”
and
g ra n d m a
shouldn't be allowed to break the
Important rules of behavior you’re
trying to make junior obey.)
Lastly, says the bureau, don't
wait for Mother’s day to show your
mother-in-law you appreciate her
many generosities.

Most homemakers like to plan
several broiled dinners for hot
weather because they're so quick
and appetizing. Furthermore, since
meat, vegetables and fruits can be
placed on the broiling tray, there’s
only that single piece of cooking
equipment to be washed after din­
ner, in place of several pots and
pans.

LYN N SAYS:
Learn to Use Broiler
As Wisely as Possible
Catch the drippings that come
from meat and poultry when broil­
ing fowl and use it to season veg­
etables so that no vitamins and min­
erals in the drippings are lost.
When broiling fowl or cuts of
meat or fish that are lean, grease
the broiler so that food will not
stick to it.
Do not allow the broiler to be­
come overheated as this will cause
smoke in the kitchen.
MANY NEVER
SUSPECT CAUSE
OF BACKACHES
Keep broiler pans washed after
each use as the fat and drippings
from meat, fish and fowl will easily
turn rancid and make your clean­
ing greater if you let it go.
Plan broiler meals for a time
when you have leftover, cooked
vegetables on hand that can be
heated with the meat; otherwise,
use canned or freshly cooked veg­
etables.
The thicker the cut of meat
broiled, the further away from the
heat of the flame it should be
placed.
