On target for a beautiful day or a shower is the Rain
cheetah by Naman in a vibrant cotton bull's-eye
print of plum, beige and brown. Cut in a flared
silhouette with a rope collar, cuffs and welt pockets,
its Zepel rain-and-stain repellency extends its ver
satility to take in any kind of weather.
Housework is made easier if
you rest a few minutes every
hour or so during a long job.
This practice is more likely to
prevent muscle exhaustion than
lying down for a couple of hours

Etiquette books are filled with sound rules about not dig
ging into your hominy grits with a knife and the good ones
nave chapters covering wedding invitations and how much
to tip the butler after a weekend at Mrs. Rich’s estate. But
here we are in the first semester of the school year and
what, I ask, have the noble, knowledgeable rule-givers
done about that? Thousands of mothers are facing up to it
for the very first time and not knowing how to behave.
I observed some on the first day of school. Three were
crying; four lurked on the lawn until recess; one brought
the teacher a list entitled Things to Remember about Paul.
Why didn’t someone tell them the way to leave a child?
(Shake hands with teacher with one’s right hand and, at
the same time, with the left hand, give child a deft thrust
into room.)
It’s nice to know the fine points on accepting gracefully a
child’s first drawing. (Holding paper carefully, turn it
around and around and say, “It’s so colorful! Wasn’t this
fun?” Do not EVER say, “What a pretty kitty!” or “Such
a NICE tree,” because things are never what they seem
to be.)
Then there’s the first time the child announces he is
never going to school again, although, heaven knows, no
body can really give us a rule on how to act here. (Just
remember how wonderful life can be without his throwing
a ball against the house and singing, “Oh! You! Pretty
Chitty Bang Bang!” the livelong day. You’ll think of
something.)
We need pointers on how to behave at school meetings.
In theory, parents and teachers come together to discuss
ways and means of improving school conditions. In reality,
these meetings are usually long discussions on whether or
not the fall festival money should buy new roll-away
bleachers for the gym or new saw horses to block off the
playground during the fall festival. A parent must go to
the meetings so his child’s room can win the attendance
award. During the meetings, do not ask about reading pro
grams or the quality of school lunches. This marks one as
inexperienced or, at the least, stupid.
It would be helpful if schools would issue brochures list
ing jobs you can do for them throughout the year. Time,
tempers and manners would be more easily controlled if

Matilda Connell were luncheon

Because this is not the practice at most schools, all I can
tell you is to be tactful and patient when your telephone

Some parents would like to know the proper way of giv

POLLY’S POINTERS
Lost Kids Whistle
Their Way Home
By POLLY CRAMER
i POLLY—Every year we hear of children getting
lost by straying away from 5
home or from others when f \
on a picnic or camping
party. I suggest that we all "' / j/’®\ —
have metal chains to go
around our children’s necks, TgfP/ -S
at such times, and have a
shrill whistle attached to l—
the chain which the child ;•/ 11
is taught to blow. He should /
be told to blow this only in j
an emergency and then 1 / FRk
stand where he is and not
wander further away before someone comes.—W. P.
DEAR POLLY—During summer and any other school
vacations we put aside the weekly sum that would normally
be used for school expenses and save it to have on hand
to help pay for books and wardrobes at the beginning of
a new term.—MßS. M.
■■■■■■■■■■■si Polly's ProbIemMBHBBHBMi
DEAR POLLY—I want to spray paint a low wicker
1 chest that is about 15 inches tall and three feet wide.
1 The front and top have a heart-and-swirl pattern of
I wicker over the regular weave that makes the rest of
I this chest. There is no way to remove the top pat-
S terned panel so I hope someone can tell me how to
S get to the weave beneath to paint it.—STACI
DEAR POLLY—and Ruth with the scratched patent
shoes—Take a water-resistant black gloss enamel paint
and apply it to just the scratches with the point of a fine
point fountain pen or a fine stick pen. By using a pen she
will not leave a mark of paint on the patent, just on the
scratch. She could also try black India ink.—CONNIE
DEAR POLLY—I love to cook up a storm and my two
best helps are a wide putty knife and a tile “goo” spreader
with tiny teeth on the edge. The wide putty knife is great
for turning hard-to-turn things such as pancakes, hashed
browns, etc. The one with the teeth will cut flour or season
ing into any piece of meat making it tender and yummy.
Paint the handles to match your kitchen.—SUE
DEAR POLLY—After my Dad fixed my sister and I a
game of horseshoes in the back yard Mom was worried
for fear we would fall on one of the stakes and get badly
hurt. She put two rubber furniture tips over the stakes and
they fit niceIy.—GRALYN
DEAR POLLY—Mine is a handy help for campers. Take
two large dishcloths and seam together the sides and
bottom and then lace a pair of shoestrings into the top for
a drawstring. After eating, wash your utensils and silver
ware, place in the dishcloth bag, pull together and hang
up with a clothespin. Label a bag for each person with an
indelible ink marker pen and then let everyone be on his
own for clean-up jobs. Even the little campers will like
to do their own utensils.—CAßLA
DEAR POLLY—Whenever I fry bacon or brown meat
in a skillet I first place a few newspapers on the floor in
front of the stove to protect my clean floor from grease
spatters. You will be surprised at the amount of grease
left on the paper. This would otherwise have been tracked
into other rooms before the floor was scrubbed.—MßS
A. G.
DEAR POLLY—To keep the bathroom mirror free of
spots between the weekly cleanings, use nylon net. Wipe
the dry mirror with dry net.—MARGARET
DEAR POLLY—Those who are making quilts or com
forters for winter might try stuffing them with old nylons
to make them lighter in weight and easier to wash and dry
quickly.-MRS. R. B.
