Sweeping and Removal of Stains Necessary If You Would Get Best Wear Carpets are beginning to dim the popularity of waxed floors and rugs, and if you're fashion. able you'll probably buy or bring out a carpet for the t room. Do you "kpow how to" get, the best wear from carpefs? "Their lives are lengthened by placing felt or thick. brown. paper underneath, and changing their positions. so that the heavy wear is evenly dis. . tributed, i Carpets should always be swept the way of the pile, and, to re- freshen colors, sometimes swept with a broom slightly moistened with warm water and turpentine or salt. If extensively faded, don't despair. . Make Colors Come Back The colurs will quite well return if the carpet is rubbed evenly with a cloth wrung cither from water in which has been for some time six grated potatoes, from het wat- er and vinegar (equal quantities) or water and salt (one tablespoon salt to one pint water), then plac- ed to dry.

A BUDGET BY JANET DORAN . ning; * CAST OF CHARACTERS IRIS IVES--a radiant. bride who thought love came first and money could take "care of itself. BART WHITTAKER--a right. cous bridegroom who looked at 'the bankbook first and his wife afterward. & LJ * Yesterday: Bart's troubles 'with Iris begin as she balks at cook- ing and saving. He realizes, now that those old jokes about the "little woman" are all too true, too real! CHAPTER VI Contrary to Bart's belief that she was unreasonable, Iris knew only too well that her precarious position depended solely upon cool, clear reasoning. She would crash, with the deadliest certainty, into the yawning pit before her, if she Rielded by so much as a fraction to the clamoring urge her emotions were inciting within her. Loving Bart, knowing full well that he had married her with the budget idea fixed-firmly in his methodical mind, she knew she was- breaking faith with him. But she knew with greater certainty, that she owed $21 cach and every week of her life for the coming seven months, and it was no time to look back at carlier barga Bart would have to make the He'd have to get used to things as they were. Because if she didn't make the payments cach week, he would learn about her debts. And if he learned about the debts there'd be a riot. Bart loathed installment buying almost as much as he loathed the peculiar system set and made leg- al by the budget plan sellers. The "fines" inflicted on the account that was delinquent, the carrying charges--ten times more than any bookeeping and financing through legal channels required. The craf- _ty method of withholding ultima- tums until cost of merchandise was completed, then ccacking down and taking the stuff back to resell at almost the same price over again, "Let Me Share Responsibilities" "I remember, once, when I was ten, they took the piano away from us," Bart told Iris, during the first" weeks of their marriage when he discovered a "slip" she - had run at thé corner grocery for groceries for the week, and had "argued vigorously against it, in- sisting that she promise never to do it again: "rn never forget now hy moth- er cried. "And how mad I was, 1 made up my mind tnen I'd never buy. anything. on time, Not if 1 went without it forever." g "But Bart, everyone runs a gro- cery slip when they're short, And --I hated té ask you for the - money." } M fdmour Hy Aitken, wots ld abel, "What are you married to me for then, honey? If I can't share your responsibilities? Besides, that stuff was for the house, and I pay for the food and mainte- nance of this place," There was more about the piano later on. There was the slow, halt- ing story of his mother's genteel upbringing. She had been a music teacher' in the four or five years preceding her marriage to his fath- er, but it 'was only to help. out with her clothes and spending money. The old homestead on the corner of Crandall and Burke streets was free of encumbrances, even to the time of her father's death. But his own father's long illness, after a tragic accident that left him a helpless invalid, wiped out the little family's savings, and left cverythihiz heavily mortgaged. that piano," Bart explained sober ly, "I'd been selling papers and magazines, and working afters noons down at Hogan's Station- crs, and Mom was set on my going to college. But I couldn't see -it. We'd never make even my tuiticn, let alone clothes and everything." "But -you did go, Bart?" = "After pneumonia got desided I'd try for it. And busi- ness trade school was my best bet. I had the job playing the piano afternocns and nights at the old Bijou Theater, so it had to be something 1 could do outside of that. ed "So you sec it was a good thing your mother believed in time pay- men: buying, Bart! If she hadn't managed to get the piano and give you lessons, where'd you be?" "You don't understand, Iris, What'l mean is, I can't bear debts because' of my fear of them. Jt it's almost a phobia. 1. . . hope you never .charge anything - anywhere, ever. I couldn't bear it if you did." id © He Mikes Never Know So--Bart must never know. And nights, when Iris lay awake, thinking about the acccunts she was paying on, cach week, shivers raced her spine as she contem- plated the awful consequences, should Bart ever learn her secret. Only he wouldn't, She comfor:- ed herself with that belief. Bart need never know. She'd never tell him, and when' they were all paid, she'd buy on a cash basis, since he was so set on it, But-it was silly." People who never used bud- get plan buying had. practically nothing.

Mrs. Whittaker," the. saleslady urged subtly, "it's really a buy."Not another gown like that in Linwood. And you can wear on you." Iris bought it. She bought gold linen sandals to match, and a tiny her hair, And then faced the prob- lem of getting her boodle home She took the dress home the next noon, and 'hid it hway in an older suit box, She had wrack- ed her brain for a suitable fable to explain 'the dress with, and had finally decided on something that would make doubly dear. the new dress, She would make Bart think it was a last year's dress, She knew he wouldn't remember; he never remembered. her clothes fron one season to the next.

"Goodness, Bart, this scam has come out! Whatever can 1 do? This late?" "Neeqle and thread is indicat- wife; 'Bart, answered, grin- 'or doesn't one sew an eve- 'ning dress?" "Definitely not, Bart! 10s a job for a tailor, and a mighty smart one. Unless you want to buy a new dress," Sitting down on the little gray enameled bench before the matche ing gray dressing table, "Iris was a convincing study of a perplex- edy frustrated bride. Until her faintly frowning gaze swept the closet and a puzzled, hopeful smile tugged at her mouth, "Unless--oh, Bart, get rge that pile of boxes, will you? Up there on the top shelf of the closet. In one of them I've an old linen eve- ning gown--one I wore last year several times, but I didn't like. If it doesn't need pressing or clean- ed, ing--and I'm almost positive 1 had. it cleaned before I put it away last summer--I'm saved." j Bart was so proud of her in the new, but allegedly "old" last- year's gown, It was, he insisted, stunning. It was the best-looking thing he'd ever seen her wear. It was a Boag, She looked grand in it. "You'll wow 'em, hot y," he ended up enthusiastically, Definitely, the $5 down had been worth it. And, but definite-. ly, the weekly payments complet- ing the price would be nothing. Bart's enthusastic approval of the dress more than. proved how ac- hide her judgment had been in buying it. You had to buy a new dress now and then, to keep a man noticing you. And it didn't matter if he did. think it was a last year's dress, If a man was going to be so unreasonable about buying new clothes a girl had to use strategy, didn't she? At 'the dancé, Bart got quite a kick out of the "others thinking Iris' dress was new, too, He beam- ,SLIM COTTON PRINCESS FROCK " By ANNE ADAMS Every vivacious inch of Pattern 4189 has been carefully planned by Anne Adams to take away from your width and give you proud - height.

"Not new-at all," hé admonish ed Monica Bradon from the science department at the university, "just something Iris put away in'a box last year and kept over,' I'll bet she does the same thing again this year with it, too. A dress doesn't wear out in several years." Iris avoided Monica's clear, dir- ect glance, She avoided Ellen's mirthful brown eyes, and the hil- arious grin on John's face that Bart mistook for appreciation, Let them, she thought mutinous- ly. They didn't have to scheme and figure 40 ways to have so much as a decent dress to wear to a dance, where "there were smart summer people from New York and Boston and everywhere, They didw't have a husband who lived by a silly old budget book, and raved hours on saving two dimes & duy" 30 he'd have $2000 in 48 years. They didn't have the pre- sent and the immediate, future hamstrung and made ugly and bar- ren, just so the far future might be gilded. "After all," Iris told herself sulkily, "who knows if we'll live that long? In this day and age you have to get what you can, while there's the chance, and never mind the far future." And the linen gown was doubly, trebly precious now. (To Be Continued) By SADIE B. CHAMBERS "YOUR SUNDAY DINNER" sute there is plenty ef: dripping, finger pnd scasoning., Beat until light.

Something - nourishing, something different, with an appetizing ap- peal and then with a memory, that lingers. I suggest an Old English dinner, which should answer all of the above requirements. For this of course Roast Beef is the chief course. This meat is one of the easiest dishes to prepare and with the new methods of toasting, it. requires \little watching and no. basting 'or searing. In "selecting the roast, you will have'a choice of a rib roast-with the bones left in or one which has been boned or rolled. If a real large roast you may find the standing rib 'type preferable. [t needs only one garnish and that of spiced apples or other fruit, There is no dif- ference in'flavor but the one with the bone retained will cook a little faster as the bone acts as a con- ductor of heat, Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Place a rolled roast fat side up on a tack in the pan, A standing rib roast needs no rack: Place rodst in a slow oven (800 I), Do not add water and do not cov- er pan, Allow 18°to 20 minutes to the pound for a rare roast and 22 to 26 for medium and 27 to 30 per 1b, for a well done. To have the porfect combin. ation, you must serve : Yorkshire pudding. and horseradish with Roast Beef dinner, Then a perfect ending is the plum pudding or a simple steamed one, In case you may think it a bit too soon after Christmas for the real Plum pud- ding I am giving you a very simple" steamed pudding, easy to mks and very economical, HORSERADISH TRIFLE In equal measurements add whipped cream to the horseradish prepared in the usual way with ASTHMA 'BRONCHITIS otis UCKLEY' LBD Ga pW = § = EXIT MR.
