Garnet Kyle of New Castle, was given a farewell party recently by members of her bridge club before she and her family left for North Carolina, where her husband, Captain Kyle, USAR, will be stationed. He has been at Port Stark for the past year and recently received the transfer orders. A gold evening oag was presented to Mrs. Kyle by Miss Virginia Hewitt on behalf of the members and a poem written for the occasion was given her by Mrs. Jack Sweetser.

The party then left in cars for dinner at Svenson's grille, Rye Beach, after which songs and dancing were enjoyed at the home of Mrs. George Gillespie in Portsmouth. Among the guests were Mrs. Ralph Ramsdell, Mrs. Myron Bowden, Miss Virginia Hewitt, Miss Mildred Hewitt, Miss Thelma Hewitt, Mrs.

Makes 12. Miss Emery has just been sworn into the Army as a candidate officer and will leave for the center Sept. 5. She is the fourth of 65 girls, to be accepted from New Hampshire, She's prepared to go anywhere she is needed to serve her country, but first she must finish an eight weeks' course in the sixth officer class of training in Iowa after which she will be eligible for a first, second or third officer's commission. Applied Last June Seriously, patriotically Miss Emery applied last June to be a WAAC.

She took mental and physical tests and had interviews both at the recruiting station in Dover and in Boston. idea just hit rne that it was the right thing to do. Maybe you call it patirotic, but I wanted to do what I could. It's real business, and anyone who thinks it isn't will soon find out "College and earning my living have prepared me for strict and long hours of work. I hope that the women who aren't used to this sort of activity, don't wash out along the way.

The training will be intensive and ihc discipline rigid." Miss Emery hopes to be able to specialize in some field of dietetics with the WAACS, but is ready to do what's asked of her. She majored in home economics at the University of New Hampshire from which she graduated in 19'42. Before leaving for the Army, she hopes to have one last fling at mountain climbing--her first love in sports. With two other alumni of the UNH Outing club she plans to do some climbing in the Presidential jange during her vacation. Hopes To Ski For US And strictly off the record, this WAAC is a and has been hoping the government would find need of women in the ski troops so she could apply.

Only two things stump Miss Emery when it comes to the list of required supplies each WAAC must take to Iowa with her. She wonders why she has to take rubbing alcohol. The terrifying thought that it might be useful on feet after a long march comes to her each time she reads it. And then there's the hot water bottle. "I don't use a hot water bottle--I thought this was a modern Army until I read that." The government has issued a few simple regulations to the women who will be arriving at the training center in.

the near future. They warn them of the intensive training they will get. They prohibit the use of electrical appliances. They urge the women to bring additional athletic equipment to Iowa with them. They make the women realize this is war.

"Things To Bring" Among the required "things to bring" are rubbing alcohol, athletic equipment, a billfold, blades and razor, clothes hair brush, nailbrush, coat hangers, comb, cosmetics, eye cup, hair curlers, dentifrice, deodorant, dental floss, eye wash, hot water bottle, thin housecoat, hand lotion, hair nets, sewing kit, shoe shine kit, manicure set, mirror, mouthwash, pencil, pocket knife, bath powder, foot powder, talcum powder, sanitary napkins, scissors, shampoo, slippers, soap, stamps, stationery, bathing suit and cap, cleansing tissue, tweezers, washcloth, wrist watch, and not more than two outfits of civilian clothes. "I hear we'll have to be up and dressed In one-half hour out there. What ever will I do? It now takes me that much time to get out of bed!" Solved, The Way To Prevent 'Coins From Bothering You Money doesn't burn holes in a man's pocket it wears them through. Those loose coins rubbing and jingling, wreak havoc with the material in the bottom of his pant's pocket, chewing it through in no time, and the money slips out. To prevent further damage and loss of money in these days when conservation is the first law of every citizen, see that hubby, or brother, or the boyfriend has one of the new purses for men that have plastic racks for holding coins in place.

They come in two styles: One has a zipper, the other snaps together. Both are made of good grade leather that wears like iron. The rack has room for 25, 10, 5, and 1 cent coins. Choose the one you want from a variety of leathers and colors that local merchants are offering. Men love them.

Here's a quick way to prepare lemonade and one which may be made in advance without loss of flavor or food elements-- combine equal parts of honey 'and fresh lemon juice and store in the refrigerator in a covered container. (Note: The amount of honey may vary according to the sweetness desired. Many people prefer much less honey.) When ready to serve, dilute lemon mixture with ice water to suit individual taste, garnish with a maraschino cherry float and a lemon slice on the rim of each glass.

Efforts Of Feminine Operators To Save Rubber, Eliminate Bad Habits They Watch Air Pressure, Wheel Alignment; Cut Out Quick Starts, Stops And Curb Bumps They're scared, they're undecided or they're honest. Whatever's the reason you still can't get the garagemen of Portsmouth to say much against the women drivers. "There are good ones and bad ones--just like there are among men," declares one garage owner. Almost everyone has some bad driving habits and many of these definitely affect the life of tires. Think Twice, Lady Beware of these habits caution local garage men.

Think twice before you rush up to a traffic light and slam on the brakes. Be careful how you go around curbs--it only takes one scrap to hurt the side walls of-a tire; one bump to throw the wheels out of alignment. It's easy to conserve tires. Garagemen set forth four simple rules for doing it: Watch the tire pressure, keep the wheels in alignment, avoid quick starts and stops, and cross all railroad tracks and car-tracks at right angles straight--don't go over them sideways. By having the air in your tires checked once a week you can maintain the correct amount of pressure in them.

Your service man knows from the make of your car and the size of your tires, the number of pounds they take. Some garage men recommend not less than 30 pounds in any passenger car's tire, others say no general rule can be set. "Keep 'Em Rolling" means your tires, too. Budget the mileage left in your tires. Set an example for other women to follow.

Figure out how many miles per week you can drive up to such-and- such a time in 1943. The average life of a tire is 25,000, according to a local garage- man. The average number of miles you are apt to drive in a year is 10,000. Just Have To Stretch In the good old summer time woman's place Is in the home stretch.

If a pair of rubber gloves and a rubber bathing suit and a couple of sink stoppers should total up to pounds, then they also add up to one gas mask. Some women might like to know just what their scrap is worth in terms of war material, as well as for tires. For instance: If her scrap totals 14 pounds, she's collected half of one of the pneumatic rafts carried by planes. A whole raft needs 29 pounds. Other figures: Fifty thousand pounds for a 35,000 ton battleship; 1,750 pounds for a medium tank; 1.81 pounds for a gas mask; 3,200 pounds for a 10-ton pontoon bridge; 125 pounds for a half-ton truck; 1,246 pounds for-the bullet proof tanks of a flying fortress; 30 pounds for a bomber tire; 2,000 pounds for a four-engine bomber; .02 pounds in each roll of medical corps adhesive tape; 175 pounds in the carriage of 75 MM gun; 339 pounds in a scout car.

Fall Hats Have Crowns, Brims They're Huge Here's your hat--and designers are giving you a real one for the coming fall season. Gone ere the days of little calots, and beanies except for campus wear. Gone is the easy habit of pinning a bow in your hair and calling it a hat. This time you'll buy hats that don't pretend they're something else. They've got honest-to-goodness crowns and brims and cut a dramatic silhouette wherever they go.

Sally Victor and Lilly Dache, two top-flight members of millinery's Big Three interpret the new important look in various ways. Both are showing many towering crowns in their fall collections. Both go in for hats that fit the head and cover up the hair. Both present versions of the cloche, done in a new exciting way. Sally takes her inspiration from Yugoslav peasants and.

Russian Cossacks. Lilly from the American scene. Both are shuffling the cards for a new deal in hats. And you'll be wearing them. In one creation Lilly celebrates the return of the cloche in oyster white beaver felt with a high crown, poke brim and irregular ribbon band.

Sally includes a peasant shawl as part of the hat in Dalmatian blue and Steppes green--a brand new color duo.
