ELLIOTT, Manager Hints For Housewives NYLON KNOWLEDGE One of the nicest things about dark dresses or suits is the way in which. they can be dressed up’ with sparkling white collars and cuffs, lace trimming, jabots or scarves. Homemakers and career girls alike have found white or pastel accents on dark clothes a wonderful pick-me-up. However, they must be fresh and snowy white, or else the entire effect is spoiled. How often have you discovered at the last minute that the white touch- es on your outfit were soiled? Sigh no more, ladies! Manu- facturers have once again come to your rescue, with the increas- ingly popular nylon! Have you noticed lately how many items in your wardrobe contain nylon? And white or pastel accessories or blouses are no exception. Like the rest of the nylon family they dry in a jiffy, and require little or no ironing. By the time you'd put your make-up on, and fixed your hair, that nylon collar or scarf will be dry and ready to go back on your dress. Canadian nylon, whether it be in the form of drapes for your living room, snowsuits for the youngsters, or blouses for your- self, is designed for beauty, easy care and ruggedness. And best of all, nylon is no longer a lux- ury! oe 6 NEW YEAR’S THOUGHT There is no doubt about it .. - when we put up new calendars, we feel as if the celebration of a new year does give us a very special opportunity. On the first day of January, a whole year lies before us . . to do with what we will! It's a time for gala celebra- tions, yet it is a time for serious thought, too. There was once a Frenchman who put into writing a thought which seems to belong to this time of year. In just a few words, he said: “J shall pass through this world but once; any good. thing there- fore that I can do or any kind- ness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it, or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again!” This is the thought of a man who lived a hundred years ago, yet it has out-lived time in its universal appeal of good will to- wards man! It may well influence our ac ceptance of the gift that passing time brings to us. . .. that of a new year! TIPS ON POTATOES When you're having company for dinner and want your pota- toes to look extra nice and taste extra good, try adding the stiffly beaten whites of eggs after you’ve mashed them well. The egg whites will make the potatoes light and fluffy in ap- pearance and definitely improve the flavour, And by the way, here’s an ex- cellent time saver when you're baking potatoes. When your menu calls for baked potatoes, and you’ve forgotten to put them in the oven in time, or if you've been out shopping till late, BOIL them for ten or fifteeen minutes, THEN pop them in_ the oven. You'll find they'll bake in half the time. CHILDREN’S ROOM It’s never too soon to teach children to enjoy the decorations in their room. Rainy days won't be too ‘hard to take when a child’s room is attractive, and it's a tonic to those who are sick in bed to have surroundings that appeal to them. ere’s,an idea that is easy to carry out, and children adore it. What's more, they can take part in creating it. It’s shadow-box pictures! Now these shadow-box pictures are not to be put out of reach and just for looks, as most pic- tures are. They're something for the children to play with and ar- range to their hearts’ content. You take a deep square cake- tin, enamel it a color that blends 8 eo NAMED TO COMINCO POSTS Cc. E.

Line it with cotton, if you want a winter scene, or pebbles or green paper cut up into very fine shreds. All you need now are a few pottery animals or small figures, to bring the scene to life. The children can have a lot of fun with these shadow box-pic- tures — so be sure to place them within their reach! ee HOUSEHOLD HINTS ; To keep your children’s shoes from collecting a grimy film from the inside of their: snow- boots, just slip plastic vegetable bags over the shoes. They will slide in easier, too. eee If your kitchen or entry-room gets cluttered with snowy, wet mittens, then fasten a row of pincher type clothes-pins on a coat hanger and have the chil- dren clip their wet mittens to them. Put the hanger in a'warm, dry place, and your mitten troubles are over! Paes Use blunt ended tweezers to place decorations on your cakes. You will find it less messy and a sure way of getting the decora- tions just where you want them. . When sewing, tape a small paper bag, on the right end of your sewing machine, and an-. other on a wood surface near your ironing board. All the snip- pings and loose threads can go into these bags, and, when the sewing is done — the bags are thrown into the waste basket. This eleminates -a lot of clutter on machine and Hoor. rr Scotch tape is wonderful for taping English ivy and other climbing window plants in place around your windows.
