Velvet Robe Is Chic
The chicest hostess ever

flowing lared robe of velvet. Col
and cuffed quite
caded naturally with fluted or cas
ruffles. It’s one of the
loveliest ways to make the
romantic revival scene at
home.

The first savings and loan asso
ciation in America was the Ox
ford Provident Building Associa- , - !§
tion, organized in Frankford,
Pennsylvania, in 1831. That early
town is now a part of Philadel
phia, and Its greatest claim to
fame remains the birth of that first savings and loan
association.
There were 37 members in that first association. It
was different from today’s association in being a co
operative, open only to members. The idea was that
each member put in a specified sum each week or
month. When enough money was accumulated, one
member could get a loan to buy or build a home.
Incidentally, that privilege of getting the loan went to
the highest bidder ... the member willing to pay the
highest “premium”! Later, as more savings accumu
lated, additional members could obtain loans . . .
until each member had had the chance. After that, the
association had fulfilled its purpose and was dissolved.
Our savings and loan association, of course, is not
"closed” to members only, either for savings or home
loans. Even if you’ve never met us, you’ll find a
warm welcome here . . . and a desire to serve you,
with planned savings or financing.

Soak Away Tension
Did you know that nervous
tension can be a cause of
many skin problems? A good
way to ease tension is to soak
in a tub of warm water be
fore bedtime. Apart from
cleaning rinsing the skin surface and
away skin cell debris,
warm water opens up the
pores, dilates the blood ves
sels and relaxes the body tis
sue. To soothe and soften the
skin as you soak, add two cap
fuls of a fragrant, refreshing
bath oil to the water. Relax
for at least five minutes, then
blot dry gently. ■

DEAR POLLY — Will some
one please tell me how to make
an inexpensive pillow bolster
for my daughter’s Hollywood
bed, which we would like to have
look like a studio couch?—MRS
G.O.
DEAR MRS. G.O. and others—
I made such a bolster and very
easily. It has led its shape beau
tifully after nearly three years
of use.
First I cut two circles out of
very stiff buckram. These cir
cles were the size I wanted the
round ends of the bolster. A pie
ce of the buckram the length the
bolster was to be when finished
was sewn together (by hand
and with heavy duty thread) to
form a tube with the same cir
cumference as these circles. The
fabric cover was pinned tightly
around the tube wrong side out,
then removed and stitched by
machine. It was then slipped on,
right side out. Both ends were
finished with fabric-covered cord
and the two circles were cover
ed with the fabric. One was
sewn, by hand, over the end
of the tube with the cord mak
ing a finish where it joined the
tube. The other had halves of
dress snaps sewn all around the
edges and the matching halves
put on the end of the tube cover.

DEAR POLLY — Perhaps Bea
would like to try the following
to separate the two parts of a
glass coffee maker that are stuck
together. I had two plastic glass
es stuck to each other and the
bottom one had a little water in
it. They would not come apart,
no matter what I did, until my
husband suggested putting them
in the freezer for awhile. This I
did and they came apart with
very little effort. — M.K.
GIRLS — I happen to be fresh
out of stuck-together coffee ma
kers but several people sent in
this Pointer, which sounds very
logical. — POLLY
