WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN Mixing. Bowl Hello Homemakers! Americans have coined a new word--"mixed- upness." It reminds us of house- cleaning since we never saw so many things mixed-up in dur draw. ers and cupboards before. Probab- ly it's because we save everything these days hoping at some future, time it will be useful. ; Sorting things out and putting fresh paper in the drawers and on the shelves is a job that can take up a lot of time--so make a tenta- tive schedule or the decorator will be at your door before you are ready for him. ; If you are doing your own paint- ing be sure and discuss the project with someone of experience. And here are general hints for ama- teurs. ' 1. Don't forget to read the label on the paint can or to follow in- structions to the word. 2. Don't work outside in wet weather--immediately after a storm, or too early in the spring before wood has dried out. 3. Don't paint in very cold wea- ther, as low temperature thickens paint and causes cracking. 4. Don't try to cover surface all at once with one heavy coat; sev- eral thin coats are better. 5. Don't paint over the basic coats until thoroughly dry. 6. Don't neglect proper prepa- ration of surfaces. 7. Don't use anything but good brushes. and reliable thinners. 8. Don't waste time and money . by using poor paint for economy. If you belong to the group which dislikes cleaning orgies, you wil find that the weekly care of spe- cific rooms will not upset your routine too drastically, and you can take the strictly seasonal jobs, like painting, as they come. If you belong to the other group, there are two ways to attack the big job you have set yourself. Take one room at a time and clean it and everything in it. Or, do simi- , lar jobs at the same time, clean | ing walls and ceilings in two or three rooms in one session. LEE TAKE A TIP 1. The efficiency of your vacuum cleaner depends upon the condi- tion of the dirt container. Empty it every 2 or 3 days. In many models the end of the bag oppo- site thé one attached to the ma- chine can be opened. A damp- ened paper bag can be fitted over it and when the machine is turned on, the dust swirls into the paper bag. 2. Do not push vacuum cleaner over pins and sharp articles which may pierce the dirt container. 3. Turn vacuum cleaner off when | anything has to be moved out of | the cleaning area, | 4. Bé a leisurely operator of a | vacuum cleaner -- a quick fight | over does not allow the cleaner to pick up the dirt. 5. Adjust the cleaner on rugs ac- cording to the regulations of the machine, In the tank cleaner, the pressure you exert' makes the ad- Jjustment between high and low- + pile rugs, On the motor-driven ma- chine the brush should only touch the surface of the rug -- run a thin ruler under the machine to check on the nearness of the brush to carpet. LE THE SUGGESTION BOX Mrs. J. K. says: Unravel old sweaters and use the wool to stuff porch cushions. : Mrs. M. T. says: To remove crayon marks from wallpaper, dampen a soft cloth with carbon tetrachloride and sponge lightly. Do not rub. Repeat and after it is dry use an art-gum eraser. Answer to Mrs. R. G.: In reply to your problem of removing | grease from wallpaper we have to | say that it is impossible. Mrs. N. R. says: To clean ply- wood veneer walls use a cloth wrung out of soapsuds -- never use & wet cloth -- then use an- other damp cloth and dry each small area thoroughly. Mrs. T. C. says: We clean our windows with a detergent or syn- thetic soap and get shining re. sults, easily. To remove putty smears use a aloth dipped in household ammo-~ nia. A. A, says: (1) Clean lighting fixtures thoroughly. (2) Do not uge electricity unnecessarily. * + Anne Allan invites you to write to her ¢/o of this paper.

TIPS FOR TEENS Girls Like Good Manners By JINOR WILL MS You're more likely to be popular in the moonlight-and-roses depart- ment if you mind your manners. When a boy walks with two girls, he walks in the centre and gives both of them his attention instead of walking on the outside, nehrest the street, as he does with one girl. What do you do boys, when you're seated in a parked car and a girl whom you know stops to speak to you? You're in the car and she's on the sidewalk pausing | for a bit of a chitchat yith you. If | she stops just long enough to say, "Hi! Are you going to the dance Saturday night?" you stay where you are. If she stops to talk long- er, get out of the car and join her on the sidewalk, because it's not | good manners for you to remain seated while she's standing. One of the reasons most of us| | hate to lend books is because we | so seldom get them back. If it happens to be your favorite tome, Prices are up, and Canadian gals | have their eye on the budget as | they fill the shops looking for auel shades, heads practical spring ensemble. Despite a 15-30 per cent price in- crease over last spring, a Canadian Press survey shows today that wom- en are doing just as much, if not | more shopping this year than in 1947, Those women who paid little at- | tention to the longer lengths dur- | ing thé wintér, are stocking up now with the 1948 version of the "new look." But caution reigns on the fashion front, with women hesi- tating to go "all out" for extreme styles. They want a Spring out. fit which will pay its way all through the year, and on into 1949. Halifax women are still convert- nig to the new styles, although many can't afford the price. Sales are about the same as last year. Saint John, N.B, reports that women are out bargain hunting. Most popular suits have the ex- tremely short or long Jackets, pencil-slim or ballerina skirt in worstetls, wool crepe or gabardine. Quebec City women are buying much more for the Easter parade than they did last year. Coats are a big item, with the 40-inch topper of last Spring being replaced now by | ari 45-inch ed product. Milliners in Quebec City report an Increased demand for a more All Across Canada Women Buying Gay Clothes to Welcome Spring you don't want to give it away to the first "borrower." Return bore | rowed books--and everything else 'that's borrowed--as quickly as you can, and with thanks. Don't take "Make yourself at | home!" too literally.

Spring coats in small sizes are at a premium in Ottawa, where women are snapping up everything available. Flowers and veils are popular on millinery--but one of | the outstanding successes of the | season is the exact copy of Barbara | Ann Scott's hat. i Foronto women are adopting the new shortie coat, but the predicated | flair in the back has been moderat- ed. Navy and grey are more popular | for spring than pastels, which are expected to come into their own during the summer, In London, Ont, women turn |away from the more expensive | items such as a three-piece en- | semble. Windsor reports that Am- | ericans are buying up light wool | suits. Blue nylons, to wear with the new navy cqlor, .are "all the | rage." Winnipeg shopping is more con- centrated and done earlier this year. The Gibson Girl figure is back, as well ag Victorian bonnets. Vancouver gals-about-town are | either buying the ballerina or pen- cil-line gkirts with about 10 inches of leg showing. Theatre Talk New York, March 29 -- (AP) -- | Hollywood stars last night walked off with four of the six Antoinette Perry awards for outstanding per- foymances in Broadway plays.
