With our men coming home, there will be more parties, more gala occasions and festivities that require dress-u- p clothes than we have seen for many and many a day. So look to your evening attire If you would be ready for the coming months in way of formal dress-u- p and pretty-prettaccessory accents. The dinner or evening gown is back in all its glory. There is also increasing call for cocktail types and the short dance frocks are ever so important on the list In a more sociable season, the restaurant suit takes on new importance. Milliners are creating hats that have a fabulous look because of the wealth of ostrich that is being lavished upon them, and the glitter of jeweled embroidery. Gloves tune in on the dress-uprogram with elaborate decor in way of sequin embroidery and various frills and furbelows that sends glovecraft up to a new high in artistry and fanciful theme.

But a certain young wife of L. L, vigorously disagrees with me. She writes me a scathing letter about it Sea-for- d, "I am 22, she says. "Before my marriage I was a show girl, and I am more supple and better looking now than I was then. I have two babies, 22 and 7 months old. I do all the housework, cooking, wasn-ing, cleaning, mending, ironing, bak- ing, cutting the lawn and shopping, with stores five miles away. I help in the garden, do all my own pre- serving and canning, and make all mine and the childrens clothes, from hats to winter coats and bathing suits. I keep up my acrobatics, reading and organ playing. Time to Go Out With Husband. Certainly there are baby toys about, but the place is neat and clean, and I myself am always dressed in a clean, cheerful costume, with costume jewelry and hair bows and so on. I am always willing to dance, at home, with my husband in the evenings, go for long walks with him and the children on his days off, and dance the night away when we can get someone to mind the babies. I also, the letter continues, make all our rag rugs, curtains, afghans, quilts, blankets and pillows, and still have plenty of time left over. I am not bragging, for my neighbor on the left does all this with eight children, from 0 months to 16 years, and all my neighbors have from four to six children, and are still beautiful women, wearing sizes 12 and 14. The women you quote, the letter ends, must be slatterns and idiots." York mothers who take everything in stride, and seem to have a good time doing it. These young women have from two to eight children. They do practically all their own work, including a lot of setting and gardening. Yet they somehow have time for dances and parties occasionally. Except for such mechanical helps as vacuum cleaners and washing machines they have no assistance in their daily chores. Miss Norris calls them One can only respectfully agree with this fiery little housewife, and warmly congratulate her husband and the husbands of her clean, capable, cheerful yet undersized neighbors. They must have some secret that many other women have not yet mastered. Preserves, dancing, long walks and the making of pillows take time, and eight children mean 30 meals a day, and 30 meals mean at least 60 cups, 180 plates, 60 spoons to wash every day, 50 little garments to wash and to say nothing iron every week s and the bath of the babies towels, the boys jeans and some 70 pairs of socks. No, the imagination staggers at it, and one can only bow respectfully to such efficiency. Modern Devices Help. Our own nursery was well filled, half a century ago, and the older members did help, and were expected to help. We peeled potatoes, set tables, tended the younger children, ran errands, made ourselves useful in dozens of ways. But the woman who wrote this letter has no such help. Her children are babies; her daily baby wash runs to 50 articles. Her children spatter mush on their high ohairs, demand daily baths, wake her at unearthly hours, need complete changes of crib bedding and their play aprons every day or twice a day, and still she has plenty of time left over. Certainly she has a thousand helps earlier generations of women didnt have. She can get codfish cakes and biscuits all ready to cook, readymade bread and cakes; she doesnt have to fill lamps or stoke coal stoves; hot water runs in her bathroom; vacuum cleaner works miracles; she doesn't have to walk that five miles to the store as her grandmother would have done. But just the same those must down in that litbe wonder-wome- n tle Long Island town. 1 W e dance the night away. Dresses Shop with an eye on possible alterations when buying ready-mad- e dressgarments. Some ready-mad- e es are difficult to alter, and clothing is still too scarce to warrant gambling on a misfit. Whether a garment is to be altered at the store or at home, you are advised against buying one that requires complicated changes. If a dress that fits throughout cannot be found, f.uy one that fits the upper part of the body, as tie skirt is less difhtnlt to alter.

Frilly sandwiches can be made by spreading thinly sliced bread with mayonnaise, seasoning the lettuce and rolling up the bread. Lunch is often one of the most neglected meals of the day because the whole family is not at home to eat it. Then, too, many homemakers feel they just don't want to bother fixing something palatable and attractive. But, let's look at it this way. Lunch, according to nutritionists, should contain at d to least f the days calories, and the proper balance of one-thir- one-hal- proteins, carbo- hydrates, vitamins and minerals. This doesnt mean that you have to spend a lot of time preparing this noon-da- y snack, because, chances are, there are plenty of things in the refrigerator, ready to be made into satisfying, nourishing lunches. Now that food rationing has eased, it might be a good idea to invite friends in for a quick lunch; or, better still, have a plan whereby you invite four to six people over for noon-timand then have everyone take turns having each other to luncheon. Its a neighborly way, and you will be sure to get into better luncheon habits this way. Here is a colorful salad plate that makes a quick and easy lunch. It looks pretty, too, on gay, informal plates. Stuffed Tomato Salad Flate.

A dishwashing apron is easy to make out of oil cloth. Cut to pattern, bind the edges and you will have a apron. Old pillow cases are excellent for protecting the tops of clothes while they hang in the closet Use this tip for putting away clothes. Odd bits of linoleum make nice covers for kitchen or laundry table and may even be used as shelf covering. Old socks are excellent for applying wax to furniture; they may be used for cleaning silverware, too. If you are crowded for space, build a blanket bin across the narrow end of a hall, underneath the windows. This is good to use in storing clothes, too.
