In using the cleaning fluids that are on the market it is important to place | some absorbent white goods or cotton | under the surface being cleansed, to| absorb the excess liquid and dirt. Body | stains are best removed from garments by the use of cold water. A coin passed rapidly over goods stained from food- | stuffs will sometimes eradicate the ap- | pearance. | A solution of warm suds and water, when applied with a brush to materials |1aid over several thicknesses of rough | toweling, will serve many emergencies. In case the color is likely to run, press | the moistened surface of goods between |two dry towels with the hand. The towels will take the stain, so be sure they are old and will not be used after- ward for their original purpose. Sheer white or cream vests and half sleeves can be cleaned in the way men- | tioned. The brush can be very wet with | the soapy solution for all but the parts | close to the dress when it is of goods | having color which is not fast. Near the piace where vest or half sleeves are | fastened in, have the brush damp, but not too wet, lest in flecking it against | the dress goods some suggestion of color | | should come out. Portunately, the part where vest and dress join is apt to be clean in comparison with the rest of the vest, and 5o can be cleansed without as much rubbing s the middle of it. This is apt to be true of half sleeves, too 1032) (Copyright, MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

C., THURSDAY, ' DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX—Is there any harm in a young girl and boy run- ning away and getting married? Do you think they will have any bad luck because they do this? Our mothers tell us we will, so we thought we would write and ask you FLORENCE AND JACK. Answer: My dear children, it is the worst sort of luck for a boy and girl to run away and get married, and if they do it, a hoodoo will be on their tracks as long as they live. BLACK cats crossing your path, walking under ladders, opening umbrellas in the house, seeing the moon over your left shoulder, finding a gregree under your doorstep—not any or ali of thesecombined will bring the misfortunes down upon your poor unfortunate heads that getting married while you are still children will. That will be a curse that you will never be able to lift, no matter if you carry a rabbit's foot in your ket that was killed in the dark of the moon in a graveyard, of if you eep your fingers crossed while the marriage ceremony is being said. ;have seen many youngsters ilke you run off and get married and I have seen the bad luck that followed them. FPirst, there was the bad luck of having nothing to live on. No place to go. Nothing to eat. No clothes to wear. No car to ride in. No money in thelr pockets. They had to go trailing home like little whipped dogs and they would have starved if their parents hadn't taken them in and fed them. And that certainly was a tough break for father and mother, who didn’t desire any in-laws wished upon them 'I‘HE next piece of bad luck was that they had to go to work instead of be- ing able to play around like the other boys and girls of their age. No Summer camps and good times for them. Instead, a steady job for the boy and washing dishes for the girl. and staying at home when she wanted to be out skylarking. And then there was the bad luck of finding out that they had made an awful mistake in getting married. The bad luck of finding out that they were tired of marriage. Tired of each other and that they had lost their taste for each other. Oh, the woods are full of bad luck for children who get married. There is nothing but bad luck as long as they live. Don't think of risking it. Sit down and walt five or six years for some more auspicious occasion, All the signs point to disaster if you marry now. DOROTHY (Copyright. 1952.) SCREEN ODDITIES BY CAPT.
