Hidden Ingredient a Good Fairy To Housewife on Wash Day Housewives who feel they are battling "tattle-tale grey' all alone every wash day have a helping hand in an ingredient hidden in most of the new synthetic deter- gents. Today's "whiter-wash" discov- ery is a chemical with the jaw- breaking name of sodium carboxy- 1 cellulose, known in re- search labs as sodium CMC. When synthetic detergents were first developed their Seales ad- vantage was their ficiency in washing fabrics in hard water. ever, chemists were not en- ly satisfied with their cleansing properties. An ingredient or two seemed to be missing The early synthetics were effec- tive dirt removers but were not as efficient as soap in keeping soil suspended wash water and preventing it from being redeposit- the same degree of whiteness in about half the washing time. It is also an enemy of heavy, deeply- ingrained soil. The percentage of sodium CMC in a box of synthetic detergent is Severally small, varying from one- alf to two per cent. Since natural soaps are superior to synthetics in their dirt-suspending power, the ad- dition of sodium CMC is not neces- sary as a "tattle-tale grey" pre- ventive. However, sodium CMC has been found to improve other prperties of some soaps, such as their wash- ing ability and whiteness retention. In the soap-and-water-conscious Netherlands, the addition of sodium CMC to soap compounds is now compulsory as it was discovered that the chemical cuts down the amount of soap required and im- proves its efficiency. ed on the fabric. After numerous washings this soil accumulated on the garment giving it what house- wives called a '"tattle-Tale grey" appearance. The search for better synthetics was spurred by a shortage of soap- . After much 5 CMC proved to be the "tattle-tale grey. antidote the chemists were looking for. Like many pew chemicals, however, it was found to be more versatile than was at first apparent. Repeated tests have shown that it increases a detergent's ability to keep a fabric white and obtains sodium The ch I is also employed as a warp-sizing by textile mills to protect the yarns from the ab- rasive action of the looms. Oil men use it in drilling, paper makers as a coating and farmers as a soil- conditioning agent. Some researchers are convinced that a teaspoonful of sodium CMC added to the rinse water will act as a soil resistant by keeping clothes clean longer and making them wash more easily. Housewives have yet to verify this. Sodium CMC is still only man- ufactured for industrial use and as the unseen agent in boxes of synthetic detergents. Virginia McWatters Personal Triumph In M'lle Modiste Virginia MacWatters, brilliant coloraturo soprano, filled Melody Fair with her liquid voice last | night and rejuvenated an aged op- | eratta, "M'lle Modiste," one of the | chain of Victor Herbert successes | of a generation ago. | Miss MacWatters, who sang the role of the maid in the Met's pro- duction of Der Fledermaus in To- ronto last fall, was encored for her Singing of the haunting theme-song 49 Again," and her operatic aria in Act II climaxing in High C was a thrilling experience. The story follows the oft-repeat- ed pattern of the poor little girl this time a milliner in Paris, who forsakes love to follow her cherish- ed ambition to go on the stage. A wealthy Texan helps her up the ladder of success and she is about to marry for his kindness when boyfriend No. 1 turns up and the Oil King makes a noble exit. The story doesn't matter much when Ted Scott as Captain Etienne sings opposite Miss MacWatters, or with his fellow _officers and their girls. He has onality plus, and an excellent voice. Singing spots for Stanley Carl- son have been too infrequent this summer and it was a pleasure to hear his full baritone notes in "I Want What I Want When I Want Entertainment at the Charity Bazaar afforded a place for Jon Crain to sing a little known song Victor Herbert, "Love Laid His pless Head" and the audience clamored for an encore.

Dame Caroline Haslett -- engi- neer, government adviser, indus- trial consultant and holder of some 20 posts in addition to being pres- ident of the International Federa- '| tion of Business and Professional Women--boosts the slogan 'let achines do the chores." The idea that a good housewife should be chained to a kitchen is nonsense, declares this attractive, middle-aged spinster, who began her career as a girl in a er- making plant. "It's only by giving women free- dom from drudgery that they can take their rightful place in the home and in the community," she says. Though intensely feminine-- which prevents her from revealing her age in reference books- Lady Dynamo, as she is called, became an ardent champion of the house- wife more than 30 years ago. Soon after the First World War, she began to spread knowledge of electrical labor - saving devices. She asked the government and electrical industry for help. They laughed at her. Today the Elec- Association for Women, which spreads such information, has 10,000 members and 50 branches and its educational pro- grams are paid for out of govern- ment funds. And this spring Dame Caroline, born in a tiny Sussex village, was appointed chairman of the other- wise all-male British Electrical Development Association. Every device possible to make life easier in the kitchen should be made available to every house- wife, she says. '"'Otherwis¢ a na- tion dissipates one of its greatest assets, the energy of women." Dame Caroline adds: "Unfortun ately, in many other countries the woman is considered virtuous only if she does the scrubbing herself." Dame Caroline is as popular with men as she is with women. She remains unmarried and the great lovers of her life are boilers and generators. "I think they're magnificent," she said. "I don't have to affect a love for my work. I believe it must be because machines are so logical and precise." ame Caroline runs courses in electrical domestic science, dir- ects a London office of 30 women, makes speeches all coun- try and helps govern institu- tions as the London School of Eco- nomics. . Made a Dame of the British Em pire in. 1947 for her social work, she retains a simple modesty. "I was a dunce at school," she often tells students at lectures. "The teachers didn't know what to do with me." PERSONAL NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Lowe and family visited friends in God: erich, Ontario, during the holidays.

Family Kitchen Returns to Favor In Modern Style By ELEANOR ROSS It's: fun and quite instructive, too, to leaf through a pile of mag- azines devoted to the home and see what's been happening to the kitchen through the years. There are pictures of old kitchens--great big, comfy places complete with rocker, braided rug and a dozing pussy cat. There are small kitch- ens that look for all the world like science labs, all white and shiny, with nary an ornament or color, just antiseptic-looking and dull. FINE FOR A PARTY i And now the trend is back to the family kitchen, just as scien- tifically arranged as ever, but more colorful, the sort of room where one can enjoy an informal party. For isn't the kitchen a wonderful place for any meal3% The ideal kitchen is one that has charm and color, but with a scientific arrangement of equip- ment to make things as work-free as possible. We did our share of admiring (and envying) one such kitchen recently. It seemed a syn- thesis of all that homemakers have been wanting and asking for, and it had been worked out in a new suburban dévelopment. DIVIDED RANGE First comes the handsome re- frigerator, then a wonderful stove, with oven and broiler unit built into the wall and the surface units on the counter area. \ Right next to the range is a built-in storage unit, one : that keeps "such things as trays and baking sheets upright. A remov- able cutting board of maple is placed under the cooking space. It has a flange that enables it to be secured to the built-in break- fast table and used for pastry rolling.

To the botanist |it is a fruit, but to the wise home- | maker it is both, for it may be used as either. It is the garden- |er's favourite too, as almost every | garden boasts at least a few plants. | And since tomatoes are plentiful now, you'll want to use them as often and in as many ways as you can. First of all, it is important that you make a good choice in buy- ing your tomatoes. The home econ- omists of the Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture say it is wise to buy tomatoes which are well-formed, firm, plump and smooth. They should have | good colour and be just ripe rather |than under br over-ripe. If you |find a few irregularly shaped tom- | | atoes among those yowve bought, use them for stewing, or if your tomatoes are underripe, ripen them at room temprature instead of on {a window sill. There are two rea- isons for this -- the summer sun | is too hot, and too much sunlight may actually prevent the colour developing or make the colour splotchy. Since light is not neces- sary to produce good red colour, | the kitchen cupboard i the right temperature and it makes a good place for ripening tomatoes. While the refrigerator is the best place for storing ripe tomatoes, under- ripe ones should not be kept in the refrigerator as the cold stops the ripening and the tomatoes be- come watery. STUFFED AND IN SALADS As for serving tomatoes, the pos- sibilities for using this versatile food are unlimited. What is better than vine-ripened tomatoes for sal- ads! They are good mixers with practically all vegetables and the number of pleasing combination is 1 t unlimited.

An under-counter dish- washer takes over for a complete job after dishes have been scraped; even unto dish-drying. As well, it has a special warmer feature for pre-heating serving dishes and plates. ADDED WORK SPACE A double sink is next to the au- tomatic. dishwasher. Added work space is gained by the removable cover that slides on and off the sink. The final appliance in this dream-come-true kitchen is a com- bination washer-dryer. All this is in a setting of knotty pine cupboards and stain and cut- proof working and table top sur- faces. Spattered linoleum, a beamed ceiling and long windows over the sink add up to a room that is as pleasant as it is effi- cient-looking. atoes in a salad, it is better to cut them lengthwise instead of crosswise. This is the French way and you lose much less juice. A "Dagwood" salad-sandwich is a novelty salad which will appeal to teenagers. To make this treat, you start with a slice of buttered bread, then alternate layers of slic- | ed tomatoes with a layer of sliced meat, potato salad, sliced cheese |or egg sandwich filling and then {top with another slice of bread. Stuffed tomatoes are favourites of many people, for either cooked or uncooked, stuffed tomatoes have a definite appetite appeal. They are delicious stuffed with a liver and crisp bacon filling or with cottage cheese seasoned with chives or green pepper and mixed with may- onnaise. They are good too stffed with potato salad. Try using a scooped out tomato shell as a mould for a jellied vegetable sal- ad. It tastes good, it is attactive, and so easy to make! Simply pre- pare your favourite jellied veget- able salad and, after you have added the vegetables, spoon it into the tomato shells and put them in- to the refrigerator until serving time, then you will top them with mayonnaise. Broiled tomatoes are popular with many families. They are de- |licious when cut in half, sprinkled generously with grated cheese, sea- somed with basl and then broiled Served this way, they add much to almost any luncheon or dinner plate.
