If Absorbent Powders Are Wonders In Cleaning Rugs and Carpets By ELEANOR ROSS There was a wealth of under- standing sympathy as the winner of an "embarrass incidents' competition told her story. t was at a Christmas party, 3he Jelated and ev was ship-shape, beautifully clean--or so she thought. But a guest unfortun-- atsly, lodged a nice, big piece of fondant while helping herself from a sweetmeats h, and of course, picked it up. She handed the piece to the hostess, and there it was, all covered with grime and blackened lint. And only just be- fore the party began our hostess had vacuumed the rug! The fact is, of course, that a rug keeps absorbing dirt, like a blotter, despite frequent vacuum- ings, ¥ od that this attention isn't enough. On the market, there are re- markable cleaners made of ab- sorbent powders that do a won- derful job. They're easy fo use, too, since they are scattered on the rug, distributed evenly with a broom, and left to stand, perhaps overnight, after which, the powder is removed with the vacuum clean- er. It may take an hour to re- move the powder completely from a nine by twelve 4; but the 2 is well worth it. : the hidden soil is gone, the colors gleam again and it looks like there are new rugs around the house for the holidays!

It takes time, of course, to do so--the time of both parents. Although some fathers must be away from the family for long periods and some mothers must work, the shortening of work hours for the average father permits him to have more and more time at home. HOUSEHOLD DEMANDS The drudgeries of household work make it hard for mothers of several young children to find as much time to relax with the chil- dren as they need, and as these mothers would like. More of these mothers could af- ford to have some domestic help if it could be found; more could have modern conveniences and helpful gadgets and equipment; many more fathers and older chil- dren could share in the household cares; and more mothers could afford to neglect a lot of unessen- , tial matters of housekeping. The following letter illustrates: "Dear Dr. Myers: We fave a six-year-old boy, a five-year-old girl, and a younger boy, two and a half. I have been so busy taking care of my little family that I couldn't give much time to being pals with each of them. THE LOVE AND SECURITY "Our boy is in school and the little girl, kindergarten. Several times, they have told me I didn't love them. I want them to have the love and security, they need, so I'm asking your help. "I do love them, but am so busy I don't have much t to do things together with them. I real- ize they need the love and security a mother can give them, since I | missed those things as I was grow- ling up because my mother died {when I was three. "I would apprciate anything you could tell us so we can give our children everything they need to have a happy and wonderful child- hood." Here in part is how I wrote this mother. often wonder how a young mother with several young chil- Dear Mary Haworth: I am writ- ing this to please someone else as well as myself, and we have agreed to do as you say. But don't tell me that I am infatuated with this man, for I am not. I am a mature woman, mother of two children, married to the most wonderful man on earth, I guess. I must have loved him at one time, until two years ago--but nothing as compared to the way I love another man now. Writers s that when you are in love, life erfect, you are so happy. But I ave never been so miserable and unhappy as I am lately. I am in love with the most won- derful man on earth--and can't marry him. He too is married and has small children. If I could for- get him, no doubt everything would e fine; and believe me, I have tried hard to forget him. He was in military service for some time, and there was hardly an hour I didn't think of him. He wrote me once and instead of destroying the letter I kept it and read it over and over. Now he is back and I am more in love with him than ever. I can even tell when he is in the same room without seeing him. NONE SUSPECTS If it weren't for the children I wouldn't be writing this; for I know what I would do. But they are our responsibility; they didn't ask to be here. But must we tor- ture ourselves for the rest of our lives, for them? Would they really expect us to? So far, no one knows of our love but us. I haven't had the heart to tell my husband. He says he' loves me so very much; but I am getting so I don't even want him to touch me or kiss me-- because it seems it should be Bill. It wasn't something I wanted to happen.

B.: As I get the picture, your anguish consists largely in crying for the moon. You want something you can't have, at least not in terms that would satisfy your heart. You admit you can't) ve a love life with Bill, com- ha patible with peace of mind, and | yet you refuse to dismiss the temptation. Therefore you are mis- erable and unhappy, a depression vaused not so much by love itseli as by a pernicious mood of con- flict and frustration daily renewed in, and by, your imagination. In all probability, your essential problem consists in having more energy, ability and intelligence than you can expend in the frame- work of your daily routine. Very likely your mind is pretty idle or stagnant for the most part, not exercised to capacity with con- structive interest in diversified good works--for example, on be- alf of church, school, good civic government, etc. Now the typical weakling, or half-baked, solution of daily tedium when one lacks the character a to really change things, is to fall in love romantically with a semi- stranger--maybe someone in the environment, maybe a movie or TV star. After that the mind is occupied, almost hourly, with all sorts of fantasy excitement--the wonders that might happen, IF. But mark the IF.

With them go a white, blanket cloth jacket, lined to match them and a black sweater. By DOROTHY BARKLEY Party clothes have taken on an informal air, Top-flight designers in London and Florence, after re- flect! on the informal way of en- tertaining which has developed since the war, now produce exotic designs for casual "fork parties' as well as for full dress balls. Both fashion cities stress the same points -- slim fitting jeans narrow as drainpipes, and colorful jackets, gaily embroidered. And these are adaptable to all climates. They are made in silk, poplin, vel. vet, corduroy, ribbed jersey or tar- tan wool according to whethér they are for sunbathing in Sydney or skiing in Switzerland. Many outfits are sold as three- ieces -- jeans with top and jacket. ops are in poplin, coarse-ribbed knitting like a fisherman's jersey or paisley patterned wool or silk. Some jackets in wool are embroid- ered with beads and colored silks; others are plain outside, lined to contrast. A pair of royal blue jeans, seen at a recent London show, was studded all over with stars to give a festive touch; with it went an emerald green jacket lined in white to match the sweater. Florentine designers use metal- threaded silk which has a rich ap- pearance. An outfit typical of the stylish casual clothes now coming from Italy consists of white metal-treaded silk jeans and a blue jacket embroidered in pearls and mother-of-pearl. (Illustrated). Party Fashions Come From Various Lands Another London Suggestion com- bines jeans in printed corduroy -- black, striped with cranberry -- with a white blanket cloth jacket lined to match the jeans. , London designer Digby Mortan fakes the idea one stage further and creates the hostess ensemble illustrated. For the top and slacks he chooses silk embroidered with velvet; over the slacks goes a full silk skirt Dresses for white tie ed skirt, gossamer fabrics ---che- nille-dotted nylon organza, chiffon, lace, embroidered tulle -- are to the fore. Black tulle is given the cobweb look by being woven with silver threads. And to throw up the in- tricate pattern on a dark coloured lace, black or midnight blue for example, the material is placed over a white underskirt. If you like dramatic colours, there's a new rich shade of red called 'Christmas Red." Victor Stiebel used Christmas Red satin, brocaded with a black rose pat- tern, for a bell-skirted dress and draped the decolletage with black divide in two categories this year. Either you choose a slim straight sheath dress which has skirt full- ness swept to the back where it falls in folds to form a train. Or you wear a dress with a full- ish, bell-shaped skirt following the new Dior line. If you decide on the sheath style, you give it an Empire look by tying a sash of ribbon just beneath the bust and letting the long sireamer ends fall to hem level. If the belled skirt, you adopt an Edwardian air by placi a sash of contrasting ribbon, often finished with a bow, round the skirt at hip level, and a tiny bustle beneath it. (Last year's crinoline, for all but the most form- al official functions, has vanished from the scene.) The choice of materials depends, of course, on the style. For the sheath dress, stiff materials which will hold the folds at the back are chosen. There is gold - brocaded cream satin, silver - shot brocade, and rose-quartz satin. For the bell- KEEP IN TRIM By IDA JEAN KAIN There is no blinking the fact that it's the little woman who has most difficulty keeping her curves | controlled. Not only does she re- {quire less food, due to lack of { height, but the added pounds bunch up .more on the short figure. This is proved in the number of pounds between standard dress sizes. In small sizes there is a 10-pound difference; in medium sizes 12 to 14 pounds and in large sizes 16 or even 20 pounds. And for the short gal who is short-waisted in the bargain, added pounds loom even larger. When |the span betwixt the natural waist- |line and the top of the hipbone is la skimpy couple of inches, then just two adde pounds spread the waist a full half inch. PLENTY OF VARIATION The length of the waist is not always determined by height. Some tall girls have unusually short waists, but at the same time they have the advantage of greater height which means their calorie requirements are likely to be higher. Let's face it, the little woman doing sedentary work is inclined to Rain if she eats a cal- orie over 1 a, day. But every cloud has a silver lin- ing. While it's true that six to ten pounds can force the short gal the span of her waist and whether or not she is wearing her present size with ease or alterations--it is just as true that six to ten pounds OFF will let her wear a size small- er dress. The technique is to cut the fattening trimmings and leave off the rich desserts, and banish the pounds tout de suite.
