Household Hints By BETTY WILLS XA7 HEN Ruth moved into her Yj shining new home she acquired, with a gas furnace and various other modern touches, a room full of book shelves. Oh, they were very nice book shelves, just ready and waiting for regimented volumes of a library. Ruth liked them very much but when it came to filling them, well;5 that was another story. In lookingover the supply of books she had ^illy-nilly collected from college days on, she decided that something must be done to prove that she really was literate. For now Ruth has not only a new house but a pair of bright-eyed youngsters for whom she wishes the best of this world's offerings, and she knows that books are among the most precious gifts she can ofr fer her children. So she has started a, book-buying plan for those empty shelves and she has startled even herself at the rapidity with which the shelveis are filling up.

"Oh, I know," she'll say with a Smile, "lots of people Just buy books '.by the yard to fill in bookshelves, and I suppose that's all right, if you never want to read very much. But the first thing I did was buy a good encyclopedia--not a child's set, although the children are quite young--but a set that • will last through the years and be of as much value now for looking up odd things that children ask as later when the moppets are quite grown up and in high school. Then I formed my own book-of-the-month club and resolved to buy one book a month--at least. "We pour' over the Sunday book sections, and several considerations govern our choice. One month it was a book on the arts, another month a novel about contemporary American life, another month a biography of an American figure who will loom large in history lessons later on. We add a classic now and then--something that we have loved reading in the past and want to have handy for the children later on. We're not bibliophiles or anything like, but we think we'll have a pretty fine library by the time the kids are old enough to enjoy it. And we're getting a new education ourselves, not only in selecting the books but in reading them." And Ruth will add that she always leaves the fly-covers on the books , as long as possible--it saves the books and the bright colored papers add lovely color to her growing shelf of books. • • • . W;" .v Too Much to See. If there's one thing that wears us down when we go visiting to a new city, it's for our host or hostess to drive,, us around to see too many sights. Not that we aren't interested. We are very much. The part we mind is having to exclaim with enthusiasm, just too often for any good. For one thing we give out of adjectives. We even give out of enthusiasm eventually. Yet we're guilty of inflicting the same punishment on our guests. We spent all yesterday afternoon driving our company around to see our favorite spots and waiting for their exclamations. Well, anyway, we picked up this bright idea which even our we-fearbored guests perked i up to see. 'Twas a corner of a brick terrace furnished with barrels, nothing How about barrels for outdoor furniture? more or less, but painted all in white with green bands. The table had a barrel for its base with a square top of wide planks painted white. The chairs were made of barrel frames cut out to form a back and supplied with a cross piece and a cushion. One barrel stood on its side "with braces underneath to keep it from rolling. It was filled with dirt and had an opening for plants to grow in. Several barrels were cut down into tubs for shrubs, and others were cut down and braced for stools. When cushions were added they were green, and as we said all the barrels were painted white with green bandings. Picture that against a red brick terrace surrounded by flowering shrubs, and you have something! As pleasant an outdoor grouping as we saw included a rustic arbor with table and chairs of natural unfinished hickory. 0 By Betty WeUs^-WKU ServtM.

A Modern Paradise Regained By ELLIOTT SHOWH * • D. J. Walsh--WNU Service/ TT WASN'T much of a quarrel-- * just a few bitter words strung together ih angry haste; all about the -bedroom walls. "Only forty dollars for such lovely papery and it's impossible the way it is!" "Forty dollars is too much; you're paying for the man's reputation!" "But any paper hanger would charge twenty-five--" "Well--I was brought up to realize that fifteen dollars was worth saving!" That was the beginning. As Ralph Brown, husband, elosed the door, his ears were assaulted With this last Parthian shot: "If you are too Stingy to support me in decency, I'll go home!" The poison of the thing got into his system. He never used to .wrangle with anyone. Since his marriage, a year ago, there had been too much of it; maybe, after all, fifteen dollars was a Small concession, but it was th© principle of the thing! Barbara and he had different ^standards where money was concerned. She wanted theN|0t--or nothing. He would compromise by enjoying next-best! The word "stingy" in her ringing tones heckled him through his morning's work. He * worried through till lunchtime. A bowl of delicious soup, .a cool, refreshing salad perfectly served at his favorite restaurant. SHORT SHORT STORY . Complete in This Issue swept away the cobwebs. He would telephone Babs and tell her to order the paper. He would xiemonstrate that he wasn't "stingy!" Whereupon, puffing at his good cigar, he reached for the telephone and then remembered that Barbara was due at a luncheon and bridge at one. He Went back to the office with his peace of mind almost restored. A client detained him and! it waS late when he got aWay. k . When he reached home the house was unlighted. He left the car in front and entered with his latchkey. Silence. Switching on the lights, he made his way to the kitchen. Order prevailed. At this time of day he was accustomed to the interesting clutter of a meal in the making, to Barbara's slender figure enveloped in cretonne over her pretty dress, her bright head bent over some homely task, and to the sweet freshness of her kiss as she lifted her lips to his. She was always home before him. Ralph had a slight chill. He called her name loudly. Silence. Then, like an evil flash, came her Parthian shot and its concluding, "I'll go home, Ralph Brown!" "Nonsense," he exploded to the blank, listening walls. He went into the living room and tried to read. Impossible. Seven-thirty. Eight o'clock. Casting aside his pride, he went to the telephone and called her nearest friend. "Selma, this is Ralph. What time did Barbara leave the bridge party today?" "Why, Ralph, I've been trying to get her all afternoon. She wasn't there." Ralph hung up the receiver with a terrible goneness in the pit of his stomach.- Barbara had gone; her folks lived upstate--she had probably gone home. He couldn't telephone them --his pride forbade. He must let her go. He sank into a chintz-covered chair and buried his face in one of her hand-made pillows. Life without her unrolled before him like a distorted film. He finally arose and restored the room to such order as his clumsy masculine methods and nervous fingers would allow. She must have been in a terrific hurry to get away, once she had decided to go. Prpbably rushed to get a train--or maybe she had driven all the way. He would go around to the garage .and see if her car was gone. Bareheaded he ran out into the Stygian darkness. "Oh, Lord," he prayed, "send her back to me and I'll never oppose her again!" which was a large order but came from the depths of his sick soul. He was about to retrace his steps, when a muffled sound and a slight creaking of the car body made him pause. Something was agitating it with a slight motion. Quickly he stepped inside, flashed on the lights and opened the car door. There lay Barbara, bound hand and'foot with an oily rag gagging her. A few seconds later she lay in his arms telling him in jerky sentences about the ugly tramp that had lain in wait for her in the garage. "He took my keys and, oh Ralph, my lovely necklace," she wailed! And the husband who, only a few hours before, had balked at $15, replied lightly: "Pooh! What's a diamond necklace! I'll buy you another tomorrow with a giant police dog thrown in for good measure." SL0CU1TS LAKE Paul Love of Oak Park was a dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Esping Sunday.

The McHenry Plaindealer, Dear Editor: Again it is time for renewal of our "Plaindealer," and the opportunity to express gur appreciation for our "home" paper. It reaches us on Monday, and is indeed eagerly awaited,- and when we read the names of real "old timers," (like ourselves) we recall and dwelf in many happy thoughts of old McHenry. As we read it, we realize there have been many changes since our last visit home, about nine years ago. All is well with us here, our boys and their families, also. I wish I could say as much for our America and the world at large. Yours sincerely, MRS. FRED COLBY. 514 Peninsular Ave., Hyons and His White Trailerf* Richard J. Lyons, Republican nominee for United States Senator, entering the white trailer that has carried him 40,000 miles in his summer campaign tour and in which he is now making, a fthidt downstate Illinois before the election on November 8. : v- ^ ; - The shiny white, house trailer, how I famous^ in* Illinois politics as the per-1 onal campaign headquarters of Rich-J ard J. Lyons, Republi<»n nominee for United Staets Senator, in his summer speaking tour, passed its 40,000th mile this week. Into hundreds of small towns where no major political candidate ever has appeared, the red-lettered sound truck has carried Lyons and his associates, Simon E. Lantz and Stephen A. Day, candidates for congressmen-at-large; William R. McCauley, candidate for state treasurer; Wiley B. Garvin, candidate for superintendent of public instruction, and George E. Lambur, Jr., candidate for clerk of the Illinois Supreme Court. It has carried Lyons and his fellow candidates to county fairs, home-nooniings, church picnics, and meetings of all kinds during the summer as they sped to and fro across Illinois from Elifcabethtowft 6n the Wabish River and Metropolis on the Ohio, to East St. Louis and Rock Island on the Mississippi, from Cairo to the Wisconsin line. No town has been too small for the Republican/party to stop to shake hands or make a few speeches. Lyons has adressed WPA workers from the trailer as it stood on the roadside near a project. He has spok- , en on street corners in Chicago and in baseball fields in Decatur. Theaters in small towns,^o^bs and labor temples in larger towns, and public parks have been used by this "New Voice of the Plain People" as he brings his message right to the man on the street, in the fields, behind the counters of small stores, in professional offices, to the housewives, people. oB Jnh lief and people on the WPA. - USE TftE CLASSIFIED COLUMNS FOR QUICK RESULTS Iine on 939* Meaning of Name Allison The name Allison is of Teutonic origin and means "of holy fame."
