Family Manners
Part of New Eti
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Presi Correspondent
New York !U.R) People used
to refer to etiquette books when
there was a question about forks
or formal invitations, but that's
the least of a modern book on
manners.
Husband grouchy when he
gets up in the morning. Consult
the etiquette book.
What to name the baby. Con
sult the etiquette book.
Taking a bath in a foreign
country. Consult the etiquette
book.
Wannta write your congress
man a nasty letter? That's in
there too.
. And if you're tempted to
write a passionate love letter
well, you might just read one
sentence in the etiquette book, to
wit:
"Love, letters are sometimes
bombshells."
Scope Broadened
All those matters, and some
650 pages of other private and
personal problems, are dealt
with in the latest revised edition
of Amy Vanderbilt's complete
book of etiquette, published to
morrow by Doubleday.
As high society has ceased
having such rigid rules of admit
tance and behavior, the social
experts have broadened their
scope to include manners for
family occasions.
Under the heading, "The
Agreeable Husband," Miss Van-
derbilt writes that if a man must
be grouchy before coffee in the
morning, he should be sure the
family understands that there is
nothing personal about it. She
also lists the following ruies for
agreeable husbands:
Clean And Presentable
"The agreeable husband con
ducts himself at the table exact
ly as if guests were present. He
is clean, combed and generally
presentable ... he should limit
his smoking to the end of the
meal using an ash tray instead of
dishes as ash receptacles . . .
Election Planned

Important
quette Book
"No well-brought-up husband
should ever bring anyone ex
cept a most intimate friend home
to dinner without sufficient
warning to his wife."
Ther e is also a secton o
There is also a section on
agreeable wives, with emphasis
on personal good grooming and
tidy habits around the house.
Etiquette rules are designed
to make life simpler and more
pleasant, after all, and life
around the house could stand a
little of both.
"Perhaps it is impossible for
most husbands to understand
everything about their wives,"
Miss Vanderbilt points out in her
family section, "and . . . even
relatively uncomplex husbands
are never completely understood
by the women they've married.
But both husband and wife can
try to find the widest possible
area of agreement."

ins of the Butte Falls Lion au

I have to hand it to my Sal.
She's just a whizz at taking the
work out of housework. For in
stance, most gals practically kill
themselves scrubbing and waxing
wood floors. But not my Sal! She
cleans and waxes them in one easy
operation with Bruce Cleaning Wax.
The job's done in half the time and
with a lot less work. And you should
hear all the swell compliments about
our beautiful wood floors! My Sal
and her Bruce Cleaning Wax sure
make simple work of a tough chore.
And they make me
mighty proud too!
P.S. For lighter
waxing on linoleum
and wood, Sal uses
Bruce Floor Cleaner.

Of the 400,000 Americans be
lieved to have active tubercur
losis, about 150,000 are unknown
to health authorities. .
Dogs seldom develop cavities
in their teeth, but they do have
trouble with the formation of
tartar. Tartar may cause inflam
mation and injury to the gums
and eventually loosen the teeth.
Veterinarians say teeth should
be scaled regularly.
People who keep rabbits as
pets for children are advised to
select a good, nutritious ration
for the bunnies and to keep
feeding it without sudden inter
ruption or change. Abrupt
changes of feed or feeding meth
ods will invite trouble and pos
sibly disease, the AVMA says. .

ENDIX DUOMATIC ASHER;DJT,:
. . and you'll use
This fabulous machine "mothers" you.
Even stays up nights to wash and dry your clothes
while you sleep like a baby.
It's like having regular, constant, every-day laun
dry help. And you don't have to give the Duomatic
lunch, or Thursdays off. You don't have to do any
thing but put the clothes in and leave 'em ... to
wash and dry all by themselves.
YOU'LL "DRESS" THE BABY
OUT OF YOUR DUOMATIC
which is prescribed for best results!
Junior's never out of diapers, be
cause the Bend ix Duomatic can take
care of dozens a day, if need be.
And hand them over to you as soft as the skin
they're going to touch.
And, if you'll pardon us for growing up your
family in a sentence . . . the Duomatic also does
a wonderful job of taking care of teen-agers. They .
need a lot of changes, too. But with the Duomatic
to wash and dry while they're asleep, they don't
need as many clothes.
THE STEPS YOU'LL SAVE . . . AND TIME!
The Duomatic does both your washing and drying
automatically ... in one continuous operation. You
don't have to go near it while it's working. Even if
you had a separate washer and dryer, you'd still have
to play nursemaid . . . switching clothes from one
machine to the other. Running up and down stairs
a dozen times a washing. But with Duomatic, you're
free as a bird.
LET'S NOT FORGET HOW CLEAN
THE DUOMATIC GETS YOUR CLOTHES
The Bendix method of Tumble-Action
plunges clothes deeper into suds 50
times a minute! Unfolds every piece so
there's not a chance of a wadded-up wash. Clothes
are rinsed the same thorough way . . . three sepa
rate times in dear warm water.
And Duomatic drying is done with such loving
care that leading manufacturers advise it even for
Miracle Fabrics. Nylon blouses and such are often
ready to put right on. Even your sheets are ready
for bed-making.
