I What WOMEN Are Finishing Picture Frames Pictures brighten any room and more and more reproductions of fine paintings are being made available at reasonable prices. To properly set off the picture and to match it with the decor of the room, the proper wooden frame and finish should be given careful thought.

If other than natural finish is desired, stain wood to desired color with oil or water stain according to directions on the can.

Allow coat to dry, then rub lightly with sandpaper, dust again and apply two or more coats of the cut shellac, as desired. Each coat should dry before applying the next. When last coat is dry.

Place a clock in front of you to time yourself. Massage your scalp with fingertips and a steady circular motion, working from the hairline to the crown.

Do this for one full minute to relax the scalp. Keeping the jaw dropped will help greatly.

The witch hazel helps to remove loose dandruff and other secretions and leaves the hair amazingly softened. It will not ruin your wave.

Be certain to take fresh cotton every four or five partings, for the cotton absorbs the soil. This should take about two minutes.

If you have the time and energy, brush for a longer period. Continue this treatment every night for: 10 nights and then use a 'reliable bland shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly in several waters.

B. Strausz of 110 Cornelia St. was responsible for my most recent jaunt to Williamsburg. She complained about the condition of the Valley Forge statue of George Washington which stands on Williamsburg Bridge Plaza. It was my first sight of this magnificent bronze, equestrian monument of heroic size and, although it is weather strained, it is an impressive piece of statuary.

Washington, in three-cornered hat and' wrapped in flowing cloak, is astride a hand. some steed. The name of the sculptor who executed this work is seen on the base: M. Shrady -1906." He was the late Henry Merwin Shrady, a noted American sculptor who died in 1922 at the age of 49, just two weeks before his colossal monument to General Grant was unveiled in Washington. The Grant Monument was, at that time, the most ambitious Margaret Mara piece of sculpture in the country and cost $250,000.

Shapcott has come in alities. They bring with them are appetizing and and which may, with few changes, be nutritionally sound. Through this work she has become an authority on the subject, and prepared a book, "Food the World Over," for the use of nurses who teach nutrition to families from foreign countries. Nearly a hundred recipes are given, which include traditional ones from Puerto Rico, Italy, Poland, Syria, as well as regional American dishes. Most of them have been altered to some extent by Miss Shapcott to conform with modern information of cooking methods for retaining the most food value, and in some cases less expensive or more easily obtained items are suggested.

For example, cooking times for vegetables have been shortened so that they retain color, flavor, texture, as well as minerals and vitamins. Plantain, of Puerto Rican cooks and rare in our markets, may be replaced with bananas; olive oil by less expensive salad oils. In the Puerto Rican cornmeal pie, Miss Shapcott emphasizes the use of yellow cornmeal as suggested in the original recipe, and which offers more flavor and higher vitamin A content than the white. Although her book is out of print at this time, we offer you one of her recipes. Most of these she has gathered from; patients or the grateful members of families who have been helped to make the most of American foods in their own recipes.

Often they prepared and brought the food to Miss, to taste, and in some cases took her, into their own kitchens to show her how to prepare the dishes. All have been tested and tasted to make sure that the recipes have not lost their appeal through the changes made.

Take Initiative, Mary Haworth's Mail Woman Advised a compliment to the general chairman, Miss Elizabeth A. Goodman. Here is a chairman that folks really enjoy working for. She always has, a smile and if things go wrong one would never know it.

Things didn't go wrong for Miss Goodman, for all her chairmen wanted to her. One didn't hear a disgruntled voice but then why should one when helping the blind is a charity none can refuse? We don't know. but think that the sales should have been good, for the products of the blind were most satisfactory and the awards were most exciting. There were so many all could not be printed here; suffice it to say that William Beverly received the top award, an automobile, and Mrs. Margaret Quick, the television.

One surprise occurred when a nun of the Nursing Sisters of the Sick Poor received on Catholic Day an award of a basket of cheer which she promptly gave to the Women's Auxiliary of the N. S. S. P. to be used as an award for the annual October benefit bridge.

So here is an example of where one charity helps another. On Jewish. Day the guests were thrilled with the singing of Cantor Paul Kane, of Beth Elohim Temple. When he sang the "Lord's Prayer" one could hear a pin drop in the ballroom of the Hotel St. George.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH -I have a job in this city, but my home is in another town; and my problem concerns a man I met there, on a blind date, within the past year. On weekends, few and far between, I have opportunity to get home; but it is difficult for me to let John know of my visits there. He shows interest in me when he knows I am there; mutual friends tell me that he inquires about me between visits as to when I am comling, etc. Despite these signs of interest on his part, I continue to feel that I am jumping at conclusions in thinking he might care especially for me. If he really cared, wouldn't Mary Haworth he try to reach me in the city where I work? Would I be justified in taking a more active role in seeing him? Isn't it true that some men have to be led to the altar? We both are older people, and I am anxious to settle down.

And I know that we could be happy together, once he admitted that marriage is in the cards for him. John is very introspective, slow to act, or to make conversation, or to become friendly. He is a pleasant companion, I find, inclined always to be led, rather than to lead. Might with propriety, write to him when plan a trip home? The truth is I've never been terribly popular with men and I shrink from taking the initiative. Perhaps need more confidence.

Please advise me. B. L. Urges Confident Bid DEAR B. L.

A widely known fashion authority is quoted in the current issue of a national magazine as saying, "A job and (husband are two things you have to get for yourself." There is much wisdom in the statement, which tells us by implication that wellmeant advice concerning these vital pursuits may be more misleading than helpful, if it spurs a woman to act out of character. Mindful of the aforementioned risk, I hesitate to urge the initiative in courtship upon you, if you shrink uncertainly from the assignment. Self -confidence is indispensible to success in that undertaking, whether man or woman is doing the hunting. I am sure you've heard the saying "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady." And it is equally true that "faint heart ne'er won bashful (or introspective) fellow." Power of Faith Claude Bristol has written an astonishing, though credible book, "The Magic of Believing" (Prentice-Hall publishers), sprinkled with stories from life to document his theory that steadfast purposeful thought-or the most creative force at mankind's disposal, in our mysterious universe. Also, in a recent lecture, the brilliant English scientist and philosopher, Julian Huxley, remarked that human personality represents the highest peak of achievement in the process thus far.

Finally, we have this assurance from Jesus (see: Mark's gospel, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." Thus my advice is to recognize the value of "faith with works." When you are confidently expecting the best of life, asking in hope of receiving, seeking in hope of finding and knocking in hope that the door of opportunity is ajar for you, then you will constructive mood to manifest go getter interest in John. It is the spirit of the endeavor that counts, and when the spirit is right, you are lifted above anxious concern about what to do" and "how to act" and "whether to write, etc. M. H..
