POLLY’S POINTERS
Red Ants
DEAR— POLLY — and Mrs.
K V. — To get rid of red ants,
dig a hole in the center of t h e
ant hill, insert a quart jar half
filled with detergent water and
with the jar rim at ground level.
L'-t stand for six months or until
all traces of ants are gone. I
do not know about freezing In
winter. I did this In the summer,
when it really worked since the
ants crawled In and drowned.
Every once in awhile I flushed
out the dead ants with the hose
and added new detergent water.
—MARGIE
DEAR POLLYand Mrs. K.V.—
Sprinkle some chlordane about
aix Inches from the center of
your ant hole so the ants have to
go through It to get In and out of
their home. Eventually one of
them will get It to the queen who
dies and that Is It. It may take a
week or so but I have tried it
and It works. If the poison should
get wet, resprinkle around the
hole. Also be sure to place a sc
reen or something over the hole
so children and pets cannot get
into the poison. That is very im
portant. — MARIE
DEAR POLLY — My solution
for Mrs. K.V.’s ant hill is simple,
quick, easy, costs nothing and
works. Pour boiling water dead
center on the ant hill. If anoth-

the same. Don’t worry if the
grass spot is ruined, a little new
soil and some seed will remedy
that. I have lived in both Texas

DEAR POLLY — If Mrs. K.V.
will make up a bucket of mud,
then pour a pint or so of gasoline
into her red ant holes and im
mediately dump the mud on the
ant hole to keep out the air, she
will find that soon there will be
no more ants. — MRS. A.E.

Pants
Take
Over
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women's Editor
NEW YORK — (NEA) —Pants
are the fashion news of Spring
'69. They were in every design
er showing for the coming sea
son.
You can wear them anywhere,
any time. The only rule — they
must not be leg-hugging. From
fitted hips they flare out to be
tightened again at the ankle or
they are full enough to be tak
en for a skirt.
Pants under dresses are new
est. Worn under mini-dresses
they can be cuffed or not, de
pending on your taste. They look
best under short, shirty dresses
with long sleeves and sashed wa
ists.
Pants are ensembles with coats
and suits. Pants suit jackets
should be long and flare over
the hip. But another good look
is the bolero jacket over a shirt
worn with pants.
Evening pants can be topped
by a tunic or worn with elegant
ly ruffled shirts topped by a vest
jacket. They can also be simply
cutout jumpers — bared at neck
and arms for after six.
This whole new freedom In
fashion is a result of the hippie
movement, the student rebel
lions, the influence of youth on
everything, everywhere.
Restrictions are out. The new
“put-yourself-together-fon-indivi
duality” philosophy of fashion
can be a good thing or a bad
one depending on your fashion
know-how.
If you’re not sure of your fas
hion flair, it’s not difficult to find
costumes complete with all com
ponent parts. Buy them that way
at first if you don’t trust your
own judgment.
Then a little experimental mix
ing and matching will eventual
ly develop the expert in you.
Soon you’ll be in the swim and
“doing your own thing” as this
spring’s fashions decree.
