Set ont a lengthened table in the spirit of the occasion with a forth-right Irish linen tablecloth in bright red and white checks, with pottery dishes and mugs for cider tr hot coffee. The color scheme is further carried out in a center-piece of red Indian corn, polished green leaves and a wooden salad bowl. Fall fruit can be used in place of the corn, " "i fuschia, made by using four parts wine with one-hal- f pint of purple. A siesta violet is made from three parts purple with two parts orchid dye. Dusty pink is made from three parts peach dye with two parts pink dye. Bittersweet uses three parts orange with one-hal- f part scarlet. In-stant dyes are used in all of the above suggestions. Another easy finish is fringing. You can easily do this in the evening for a set of mats and napkins. If You Want Linen, Use Toweling An easy way to make mats and napkins for table use is with Irish linen toweling. This trick frequently is used by women when they want the crisp, nicely washable finish of linen economically. Both mats and napkins can be made from the toweling, and you'll find that being able to buy the mate-rial by the yard has the added ad-vantage of giving longer lengths when you want to make runners. Plaid and crossbarred linen towel-ing are good choices for casual and informal tablecloths or mat and napkin sets. If you are making these mainly to brighten up the kitchen or dining surroundings, you might even consider buying enough toweling to add simple drapes for the windows. Stripes in linen toweling are also good choices to use for curtain and place mat ensembles. Their gay colors make them a pleasant back-ground for any of the popular styles of casual dinnerware. For the more formal luncheons and dinners, you might like to choose a grill-lik- e scroll print done in white on both pastel and bright colored backgrounds. Scroll prints will be nice with better dishes. The lovely powder blue shade, for example, would be very effective with dinnerware which has touches of yellow in it. Use yellow chrysanthemums as the flower. i Ik Select table trimmings . , , background of a meal.

Vl.." Other Fabrics Give Many Possibilities Coarse textured rayons, dyed If they are not a suitable shade, will make excellent tablecloth and mat sets. If you dye them in one of the gala Mexican shades, they can be used with fiesta ware, with a center-piece arrangement of grapes. Many scorched or worn tablecloths can be used as source material. If damask has lost its crisp finish and high luster, it can make hand-some settings for more formal din-ing. Dye it a deep rich green, peach, pastel pink or soft yellow. Color heigthens the pattern of the dam-ask. A centerpiece of polished fruits and glossy leaves in a square white pottery dish will be effective. For informal entertaining there's nothing lovelier than braided mats which can be made from pieces out of the scrap bag. Dye these to work out attractive colors. The monotone or solid colored mat is best for plain dishes, but occa-sionally it's possible to work out attractive mats with white and a color. These mats should be made slightly larger than 11 by 17. the size for regular placements. Use mugs with mats to make a thor-oughly attractive setting, and a bowl filled with matching pottery gourds as the centerpiece. made out of al-most Plain white mats any material can be bright-ened by use of wide, colorful bor-ders or various edgings, such as lace, braid, rick-rac- k or decorative borders. Buy borders already made or use cast-of- f pieces of materials, either in their original shades or offers the most dyed, whichever effective treatment.

Cathy Lewis, who had been ill most of the summer, was ordered off at least the first few "My Friend Irma" broadcasts by her doctor, whereupon husband Elliott Lewis pared his air schedule to two shows, "Gregory Hood," on Mutual, and the role of "Frankie Remley" on the Phil Harris show.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS "T)ERT is worried to death jD over high prices and hard times," writes Lois Jacks from an Iowa city. "But just the same he gets furious and won't help me at all when I try to cut down. We have two sets of twins; girls of 9 and boys of 3. "Bert and the girls take box lunches every week day. That meant 18 meals a day. I try to make them inexpensive as well as appetizing, but Bert wants hearty dinners meats that cost more than the whole meal cost a few years ago; and all the old trimmings celery, nuts, jelly, rich desserts. ' "It's all his loyalty and love for us, of course; his desire to make everything perfect for the children and me. But It has led to a real difference of opinion between us. Meatless Nights. "For one thing, I inaugurated four meatless nights a week, using cheese and fish dishes to insure prop-er nourishment. Out of one old fowl and half a can of ham we had de-licious club sandwiches for one din-ner, and a hearty soup for the next. But Bert spent both meal-time- s fretting and argu-ing, against meat substitutes, butter substitutes, makeshifts generally. "lacidenta'lly, our income is $4,000 a year; we own our home, and rent our garages on the side street for . . . spent meat-tim- fretting . , . $60. I can manage; I've never got Bert Jacks one cent into debt in our 12 happy years but I'm stumped now. "With my four young children I can't take a job; nobody Is going to leave us any money, and a few unimportant raises in the next few years are all Bert can hope for. We're better off than most, with our car and our garden and our summer picnics; if things don't get any worse we'll be all right." I wonder if this letter con3 to other women the warmly swt and admirable nature that I am sjire the writer has. This gallant tTKi wife and mother only asks a chc to make a success of today's diimi-ti- c difficulties. She wants to try new dishes, make experiments, challenge rising slim with smarter meals. Millions of women are doing it all over the world; saving fuel, saving fats, serv-ing hearty delicious one-dis- h masfa, drawing husband and children bays the game that will hold the family together through the disturbed years ahead. , To Bert, therefore, and to many another husband, my advice is this: Wait until you've eaten the dinner before you break onto fretful crit-icism. On the table, soup and muffins and succotash and deep dish apple pie may look rather meaningless. Satisfaction Guaranteed. But if the soup is hearty, the vege-tables very hot and well seasoned, and the apple pie as good as home-made apple pie should be, then you'll lean back from the table just as satisfied, and really better off than if the $2.20 meal had cost $3.40. So you tired businessmen all over the country, or at least as many of you as have good wives like Lois, take this suggestion from me: Eat your dinner before you criticize. Give Mother a chance to prove that inexpensive well cooked foods, sea-soned by hopeful conversation and the conviction that you are licking high prices rather than letting them lick you open a whole new world of dinnertime satisfaction. Let's hope that lower prices, low-er taxes, world peace, better times are ahead. But let's also face the truth that these are nervous and trying times. Harmony at the din-ner table is And for you, Bert, a special message. To have your own home, two daugh-ters and two sons, and a wife like Lois who faces this world-wid- e situation of change and panic so gallantly ought to make a dinner of plain bread and milk a Lucullian feast for you.
