WOMAN'S VORLD Study Basic Needs Before Buying Linens Simple Styling it is 10 per cent or more, you have a poor quality sheet. The breaking strength of a sheet will tell you how long the sheet will wear. When the count is low the wear is less than when the count is high. Select a sheet of the proper size for the bed. A standard double bed requires a. sheet 81 by 108 inches in size. It should not be less than 99 inches long to satisfactorily cover the bed. Single beds require a h width sheet while three-quarte- r beds need a width. Look for adequate hems on sheets as well as pillowcases to give best wear. White has been the generally ac-cepted color for sheets for a long time. However, luscious pastels are now obtainable, if you want them. The colored sheets with matching cases are usually avail-able only in the higher priced mus-lins and percales. By Ertta Haley .... nly ones BRIDEbwill be putting in a stock of household linens. Homemakers who have been keeping house for five to ten years may well find that their stocks need replenishing. Buying linens these days needs thought, care, study and some background of knowledge. As in anything, you do not buy by price alone. You do not even buy by size alone. You must know something about such things as thread count, sizing, absorbency, machine stitches per inch, and all sorts of things which you may never have considered. Before considering these aspects of buying, check your supplies against what is deemed a minimum practical wardrobe for each bed. This includes six sheets, three pillowcases per pillow, two mat-tress pads, one winter bedspread, one summer bedspread, one sum-mer blanket and winter blankets according to the climate. Good Linens Contribute To Well Being If you've ever slept on a bed in which the sheet barely covered the surface, you'll know the importance of Intelligent selection. Sheets not only protect the mattress, but they contribute to comfort and well-bein- Although spoken of as linens, few women have sheets of actual linen. Cotton is used most fre-quently because it wears and laun-ders well and absorbs moisture readily. 1 r y , J , K V ;, li,s IliiililiiM .'li There's new interest in the cream and natural shades and a St. Louis designer catches it in this impeccably tailored suit dress as simply styled as a man's suit.

If Read labels carefully .... It's estimated that good cotton sheets will wear through several hundred launderings. Whether the sheet is muslin or percale is not the question, since each has dif-ferent weights and qualities. Most women choose good quality percale for their "best"; for every-day wear, a good quality muslin is the accepted buy. Consult Labels When Buying Sheets There's important information on labels for women who want the most value when buying sheets and pillowcases. Generally speak-ing, the higher the thread count, the higher the quality and price of the sheet. Threads per square inch means the total number of threads length-wise and crosswise. You'll find some sheets rated at 180, and some low as 112. Weight of the sheet, usually ; given in ounces per square yard, To buy linens intelligently. the yarn count is low and weight high, note the amount of sizing.

Canning vegetables is one of the best ways of feeding the family economically as well as satisfying them with valuable nutrients. Chart your course now, and then sail through the season, full speed ahead. Clear the Kitchen For Canning Time WOMEN who do their canning organize their work on an efficiency basis such as is used in a factory. They actually prepare for the job before they start working on It. Getting ready for vegetable can-ning means the kitchen. Clear out table and shelf space that you need for jars and equipment. Make certain you have all equip-ment clean and In working order before you get the vegetables into the house. What equipment? You'll probably need sharpeul paring knives for preparing the. produce. Kitchen scissors that are not rusted will help in preparing some types of vegetables like green beans. Have your canning spoons, ladles or dippers all ready in place where they're going to be used, next to the range. Select Quality For Canning Have you ever wondered why the corn you canned is dry instead of juicy, or peas are pulpy instead of moist and sweet? The fault may lie in the kind you chose for can-ning. ' Only the highest quality produce should find its way to the can since canning cannot improve quality. It merely preserves it.

Clean Vegetables Before Preparation the vegetables is the CLEANING bringing them into the kitchen. This should be done be-fore the skin is broken, or some of the valuable juices may escape.

Do not pour dirty water off the vegetables, as dirt may re-main in the pan and then mix with the vegetable. IN THE CHART given above, is recommended for the green vegetables such as peas, green beans and similar vegetables. This means immersing in boiling water for the designated amount of time to shrink or wilt them in order to pack them easily and com-pactly. Pressure Cooker Is Recommended TO PROCESS VEGETABLES properly, a pressure cooker is an invaluable aid. For vegetables, have the gauge read 10 pounds be-fore you start counting processing time. The pressure should not be al-lowed to fluctuate since this may drain liquid from the jar and give a poor looking jar. It will also over-cook the vegetables, or undercook them, as the case may be. Vegetables are a non-aci- d food, and this means they require a high temperature to kill the bacteria which lurk in them. This is why pressure cooker processing is rec-ommended for them. Fruits, which are acid, need much less proces-sing time, and much lower tem-perature in which to have the bac-teria killed. Always follow the directions for your particular type of pressure cooker. One thing is generally true of all types, and that is to leave the petcock open for at least seven minutes during which time steam escapes from the cooker. Unless this is followed closely, the pressure may not be accurate, for all air must be exhausted before allowing the cooker to come to pressure. Another safe rule to follow is to allow the vegetables to boil 10 min-utes in an open vessel before tast-ing or eating after they are taken from the can. unaer-rip- e or im-mature. Peas, for example should be sweet and ten-der; corn should spurt juice when pressed with a fingernail. Gnarled, bruised, wrinkled or otherwise im-perfect vegetables are not fit to be canned. You cannot expect them to have goyi flavor and color. Perfect vegetables rushed from LYNN SAYS: Follow Vegetable Canning Pointers For "stripe" cookies, shape the dough into rectangles. After baking, when the cookies have cooled, pipe confectioners' sugar icing in straight lines on top of the cookies. Wipe the edges of the jar with a clean cloth before adjusting the cap. This helps achieve a perfect seal for the food. Remove jars from the sterilizing vessel with tongs or gloves to avoid burning the fingers. After filling Kie jar with vege-tables and water, you may find some air bubbles anchored against the sides of the jar. Remove these by running a spatula between the glass and the vegetable. Jars which have been sealed with a g lid,' should not be tested for sound until 24 hours after processing. It will take this length of time to cool the contents of the jar. Six pounds of greens, such as spinach, are required to make one quart of the canned product. 3Hj6SBSysi,.

The cake gets decently baked, the curtains come down, Shirley presses her linen dress and is off with Catherine, and Sally is consoled by a promise of the Disney picture if she really works on her French. Oh, yes. Mother gets her way nine-tenth- s of the time, but she gets it by seeming to lose it. She falls in with Dad's plans so readily and pleasantly that he begins to question them himself; perhaps he has been a little hasty. Perhaps he doesn't really want it that way. So when Mother says "Perhaps you're right, dear. We were going to have a little more formal party for the manager, remember? But if you want to bring him home to-night to just what we have our-selves, we'll take good care of him. I'll turn the stew into a meat pie we've strawberries no, I can't have shortcake and pie but I'll see. Your mother's here, so we may have to be pretty prompt, you know how she hates that delay for appetizers " And mother con-tinues with a few more innocent but well-place- d objections. After a few sweet considerations like this. Bob senior is very apt to break in with "I think you're right, dear. We'll do it later and make it more formal. I've not asked him yet, so just forget the whole thing." So father arrives at this kindly con-viction without ever realizing exact-ly how he got there. He's happy, Mother is happier. These are the very common-places of a good marriage. May they always be. The day all mar-ried men become mind readers will be a dark day in the holy state of matrimony. IF EVERY MAN were a mind what a fix we wives and mothers would be in, most of the time. How little they know, s we nod and agree and concede and fix things generally, of what is going on inside of us. How little they know of the opinions and adjust-ments that even the simplest do-mestic arrangements involve. "By the way," says the man of the house, "I asked the Fosters to come in Thursday night. Since you're having a waitress I don't suppose 10 is any more than eight to handle?" What the wife says is, "Oh, nice, dear." What she thinks is: "Great heavens. Ten guests for dinner Minnie can barely get around to four. Only nine of the tulip doilies and napkins, I'll have to use the horrible old yellow ones. Almost all the yellow glasses are broken. I suppose the leg of lamb will be enough everything seemed right for just Joe and Ellen and the Whites and the Greens and our-selves.

Unexpected Excursions All that is behincL her pleasant, "Oh, nice, dear." Or perhaps her husband comes in on a Saturday morning to say: "Great break, Mollie. Dawson's old grandmother died this morning and the office is closed for the day. How's about a picnic, hey, kids? I'll get the car ready and you throw some lunch together." . YM ". . . How's about a picnic, kids? . .. In which case Mother's "Oh, won-derful!" covers an interior monologue something like this: "Oh, for pity's sake. Last Satur-day when we were all ready to go to the beach you thought a thunder storm was coming on and cancelled the whole thing at 11 o'clock. Now when I've got Annie here and was going to take down those dining-roo-curtains, and my one-bo-cake is in the oven and Shirley's shorts are in the wash, and I prom-ised to sit for two hours this after-noon with Aunt Mattie, and Bob has just asked to go off with Billy Smith for the day and Mrs. Holden is coming at three to help Sally with her French oh, what are men made of, anyway! Now there he is, out there whistling while he pre-tends to do something to the car, and Annie and I have to hustle some sandwiches together, and scare up some cake somewhere and get rid of that eternal little hanging about Miller girl" An Obtuse Class Yes, it's a good thing that most men aren't mind readers, but on the contrary are singularly obtuse, as a class. Marriage couldn't get very far without these gracious and temporizing concessions from Mother. Later on, of course, as all good mothers and wives know, she may get her own way after all. Just a delicate hint, regarding the fun Dad and Bob could have at the ball game and take Billy, too, and then Shirley could keep her date with Catherine and Mother could see poor Aunt Mattie And as Dad suddenly sees the glorious possibilities out at the ball park, with two shouting boys drop-ping peanut shells through the hard, open seats, why everything changes Safety Precaatiot To prevent children tron, themselves in a room, seal or sides of doors locked , phane tape.

Is it Slander to Call j A Man a "Bum" An apartment house tenant had a strong dislike for several of the other occupants. As time went by, all of them moved out except one. When he met this last holdout in the back yard one day, the tenant exclaimed: "You are the last of I YOU ARE THE LAST OF p i ? .. I I .THE BUM TENANTS iri I If a Cat Kills a Canary, Must The Cat's Owner Pay Damages? A woman's cat took a strong dis-like to a singing canary, kept in the parlor of the house next door. One evening the cat slipped into the neighbor's house, stole into the par-lor, and silenced the canary for-ever. The neighbor sued the woman for damages, claiming that she must pay for the evil deed done by her pet. However, the court ruled that the woman was not respon-sible. The judge pointed out that this was an ordinary, peaceful cat, with no special tendency to be vicious. He added that a cat's own-er should not be blamed just be-cause the animal occasionally may revert to his "wild nature." After a Convict Serves His Sentence, May He be Forced to Leave the Vicinity? A convicted criminal served his term in the state penitentiary and was duly discharged. He soon found a job in a gas station near the prison. One day, he was ar-rested again. It seems there was a state law requiring discharged convicts to leave the county with-in 24 hours after their release. the bum tenants In this building!" The other man sued for damages, saying that he had been slandered by being described as a "bum." However, the court denied his claim. The judge said that, so long as no tangible harm was done, the word "bum" wasn't such a serious accusation after all! May All Children be Forced To Go to Public Schools? A state law was passed requiring all students between the ages of 8 and 16 to attend public schools. A private school promptly filed a test case, claiming that such a law was unconstitutional. The state officials explained that they wished to give the same kind of education to all children. However, the court held the law unconstitutional, vio lating "the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and educa-tion of their children." The judge said the state had no power "to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public school teachers only." However, at the trial, the court held the law unconstitutional and ordered the man freed. The judge said it was unfair to impose this restraint on a man "after be has paid his debt to society." Ex-Preside-nts Could Be Used Might Hold Senate Advisory Position WASHINGTON. Herbert Hoover believes that former Presidents might well hold advisory seats in the senate, although he himself wishes no such office. His view on the suggestion that Presidents retire into senatorial memberships were reported in an, interview. It answers one question! not included in the exhaustive re-port by the commission on organi-zation of the executive branch of the government, which Mr. Hoover heads. "I don't think it would do any harm," the former President said. "I think it would do good. I don't want to go there at my time of life, but I think, as an addition to the efficiencies of the government, it would be greatly worth-whil- e for the future. Any former Pres-ident carries a lot of seasoned ex-perience which would aid the leg-islative side. It would be a good thing to do." "Could that be done with our Constitution?" he was asked. "I understand that it could be done by statutory law," Mr. Hoover went on, "provided the former President had no vote. He could have the privilege of debate, office assistants and a salary." In questions and answers de-voted to the Hoover commission's report, Mr. Hoover said that the program worked out by some 200 prominent private individuals on his "task forces" and a paid staff of another 300 persons indicated eventual savings of about $4,000,-000,00- 0 annually. Personally he said he thought the savings cer-tainly would exceed $3,000,000,000 and might touch $5,000,000,000. At the same time, he stated firmly that the suggested renrai. ation would not contribute to cen-tralization of control in the Presi-dency. "We are here considering admin-istrative authority, not political power," he said. "It puts him (the President) in authority as definite as the president of a corporation his board of directors, which is the congress. This is a thoroughly American concept." |
