Window Soaping Is Turned

GOOD CLEAN FL'N . . . Scouring powder and water mixed to a

the mixture on glass surfaces, and paint designs with their wet

busy and interested for a good
while is "snow painting." All that!
is needed is a "pallette" of soap
or detergent suds and a glass "can
vas" for the young artists. The
"snow" may be whipped up in a
jiffy, and the result may even be I
some nice clean windows or mir-1
rors.
Here's the way it works:
Boat up a large amount of soap
or detergent with a small amount
of water to stiff, meringue-like
peaks. Then let the young fry go
to town creating masterpieces by
"painting" the mixture over win
dows, mirrors or even glass table '
tops, drawing out pictuers with a j
brush.
Another variation requires a
thin, paste-like mixture made by
stirring scouring powder with wat
er. Spread a film of it over a win
dow pane or mirror, then let the ;
younger set use wet fingers or
paint brushes to "etch" their draw
ings. Turkeys, pumpkins and barn
yard animals are favorite fun. For
more elaborate creations, suds
"snow" or scouring powder "paint"
may be tinted with food coloring

U you're re-decorating your
home, make room for a vanity
table.
Put it in'bathroom, foyer, bed
room or in its owq special powder
room, and be prepared to use it.
The new look of elegance, with
emphasis on beauty treatment,
coifture and makeup in the lady
like manner that is the most of
the moment, requires careful ap
praisal of grooming aid*
What are the important things
to have on your beauty table this
season?
Beauty mask is one requirement,
because the skin must be kept
clear for the new translucent look.
A clear and unmuddied founda
tion cream that offers pearly
luminescence is another must.
Clear lipsticks and pale power arc
two essentials. Ditto eye makeup.
Keep your cleansing cream
handy. All makeup must be re
moved to get that all-clear effect.
Cleansing tissues should be handy
so you will not be tempted to stuff
ofi the important job of removing
every vestige of make-up. New
tissues are softer, more lint-fre<e
than before, available in a decora
tive gold and white striped box, a
complement to any dressing table.
A chignon and chignon hair pins
ate other items that will probably
be kept handily at the dressing
table. The chgnon is effective, too,
for the short-haired girl who wants
hurry-up glamor even though her
hair is nof the right length io'
the new hairdos.
You'll keep finger and toenail
implements handy. Hands need to
be graceful and well-groomed. The
trend to sandal shoes for dates,
and short hosiery that puts toes
in the peek-a-boo category requires
just as good care of toenails as
fingernails,
A neck and throat cream 'may
be required in the treatment box
of the over-30 set, and it should
be used often to keep the neck
line smooth and youthful.
James Bass was recently married
to Marie Fish in North Carolina.
But, a good fish story was spoiled
because neither came from a fish

electrician and Miss Fish's father
was a farmer.

etchings.
On special occasions Mom may
arrange fall fruits and vegetables
such as pumpkins, gourds and
squash on autumn leaves for a
table centerpiece, and invite the
youngsters to add a light "frost

Maggie Gets
New Post Office
By MRS. C. L. BRADLEY
Mountaineer Reporter
Maggie has a new Post OiTicc.
The first Post Office at Maggfc
was established in 1903 py "Uncle
Jack" Setzer, who is still living and
just recently celebrated his 89th
birthday. The post office was built
into one room of his home and it
was named after one of his daugh
ters. who is now Maggie Setzer
Pylant.
Mr. Setzer was postmaster until
1910. Charlie Ketner was appoint
i ed and the post off ice moved to a
new location where it later burned.
Then a new post office was built
and was taken over by Jake Lowe,
who in a few years turned it over
to Verlin Campbell, who moved it
into his store building, where it
remained until 1926 when Mrs. i
Grady Henry ^ as appointed post
mistress. She moved the post office
into her store and ran it until 1930
i at which time Gerald Davis was
j appointed postmaster and the of-,
fice w'as moved into a new building
at the entrance to the Campbell i
Creek_ Road. Mr. Davis was post-j
master until 1945 when Mrs, Roy!
Brooks was appointed and the of
fice was again moved?this time to
the Lowe building where it remain
ed until a few weeks ago.
The new post office is built in j
connection with the residence and I
store of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. It has
an antique front whieh was form
erly on the Alarka Post Office in
Swain County.
The original Maggie Post Office |
is on display at the Maggie Coun-1
try Store.

The October Issue of the Pro- j
gressive Farmer carries an article
and a sketch of the Maggie Coun- j
try Store. Tlie writer savs that he
seemed to step backward into an
other century when he entered
the store. He mentions articles
found in the store that aren't seen
much today, such as red suspend
ers, sunbonnets. the cracker bar- j
rel near the pot-bellied stove, the !
hams and slahs of salt pork hang
ing nearby, the coffee grinder, rock
candy, and sassafras. The writer
was also impressed with the Indian
baskets and the autumn color in
