William Edwin Baldwin In Durham Week-End Beauty Course Get up smiling — Stand before your window, feet parallel, body straight, head up. Stretch one arm over head, other in front; change ^rnis, breathing deeply. Now clean your skin with a special wash. Deep cleansing is the first routine in reviving complex ion clarity. Stretch flabby muscles: Hold patiently an elastic line. Bend “ody left to floor, back straight; swing body over chair to floor on the other side. Ten times. Watch your diet for three days. Most of us eat too much fat-mak- i^g food, so your short course should stress fruit, vegetables, lots of liquids between meals. Posture—Stand four inches from the wall, pull tummy in so small of back touches the wall. Hold an elastic line taut, raise arms up, press hard against wall. Five tinies. Glow from beneath makes your skin look lovely with make-up. Learn to apply and remove a stimulant cream, before you make up. Hands need special help these ^ays. Smooth cream down over ®ach finger with a strong pull. Lean over to bring blood to your scalp, when your brush, in the short home course method. Lift the hair, give an outward twist at end of each strand. TIME SAVERS Whisk Com Silks Off. A clean ^hisk broom will remove the silk from greeri corn ears easily. — Mrs. H. A., Wisconsin.

B., Indiana. Cooks Ahead.—The day before 3n unusually hard job, I bake or °oil a small ham, make a large ^ake, nut bread and cookies. Then I do not need to do much cooking for several d^ys and can attend to the main job. — Mrs. W. A., Con necticut. Convenient Table.—Lots of time ^nd hundreds of steps can be saved by placing a small table in front of the cook stove. Either an enamel or a wood table about 24” by 40” will serve the purpose.— Mrs. J. B., Tennessee. Wring Clothes Smooth. — Use your wringer as an ironer for every-day flat work such as towels ®nd pillow slips. Bring clothes ffom the line damp or sprinkle lightly with warm water. Let lie nntil evenly moistened. Fold tow- les, etc. Set your wringer as for ^ashing. Run folded pieces through wringer and hang on bars to dry. Snap towels free from 'vrinkles when hanging on line, 3nd do not roll them up at any time. A wrinkle avoided is a Crinkle less to iron out. — Mrs. A., Connecticut. On Even Basis Husband: “Darling did you ever stop to realize that if you knew how to cook we’d be able to save some money?” Wife: “Yes, and if you knew how to save money we could keep s cook.” Local Girl Weds Army Lieu tenant In Pretty Church Ceremony Miss Martha Virginia Dixon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Law rence F. Dixon, of Pisgah Forest, was married to Lt. William Edwin Baldwin, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. William Edwin Baldwin, of Dunn. The ceremony was performed at the Trinity Avenue Presbyterian church in Durham on Friday after noon, July 2, at five-thirty o’clock, with the pastor. Dr. Paul Leslie Garber, officiating. Baskets of white gladioli, wood- wardia and fern were used in the decoration. Wrought iron cande labra bearing burning candles cast a soft glow over the scene. Mrs. H. C. Carr, of Durham, played the wedding music. Before the ceremony she played “Con certo from a Violin Sonata,” by Mendelssohn; “Spozolia,” by Liszt; “Calm as the Night,” by Bohm. During the ceremony she played softly “To a Wild Rose,” by Mac- Dowell. The traditional wedding marches were used. The bride was given in marriage by her father. She wore a white marquisette informal wedding gown, fashioned with high round neckline outlined with appliqued lace. The pointed bodice was at tached to a full gathered skirt. Her white Juliet straw hat was trimmed with illusion veiling which was attached to a coronet of orange blossoms. In her hand she carried a Bible with an orchid. Immediately following the cere- The Pulse Of Fashion Be concise—Look ready-for-your- job in a soft skirt and a cheerful shirt or a neat washable. Be sim ple, simpler, simplest. Be bright—Cheer up everyone by wearing color . . . It’s good for morale. As the English say, “Scar let stiffens the spine.” Keep it clean — Cultivate the spick-and-span look. Go for shirts instead of blouses, but unmanish shirts with bows at the throat. mony, the parents of the bride entertained at a reception at the Crystal ballroom of the Washing ton Duke hotel in Durham. The couple left for Abilene, Texas, where the bridegroom is stationed at Camp Barkley. The mother of the bride wore a dress of copen blue, with acces sories in navy. He corsage was of yellow roses.

It’s a kind of hoarding and a waste of leather to have shoes repaired unless you’re sure you’re going to wear them afterwards. And you proba bly won’t if the uppers are badly worn. Remember, too, that one of the many good reasons for wearing footlets if you use leg make-up is that bare feet will curl your in- nersoles and make your shoes wear out faster all around. COTTON-BLENDED FABRICS. A good rule to follow in caring for cotton-blended fabrics is to wash or clean them as you would the fibre with which the cotton is blended. PAPEI^BOARD VACUUM BOT TLE. The vacuum bottle you’ll buy this summer will have paperboard outer casing instead of the metal you’ve been accustomed to. It will insulate just as well if you won’t get it wet. NEW SUBSTITUTES. There won.’t be any more decorative plastic buttons after present stocks are exhausted. SHIRTS AND PAJAMAS. Men’s shirts and pajamas may be on the shortage list by fall. HOOKS AND EYES. It’s a wise precaution to dry clothes with hooks and eyes as quickly as pos sible. The new hooks and eyes don’t rust easily, but they aren’t completely rustproof like the pre war variety. POST-WAR LUMBER. Post - war home builders will be able to , use wood that no termite would touch; it can also be processed to resist rot from three to ten times as long as the ordinary kind. Your Garden & Mine Along with bugs, weeds, hot weather, rain, and the need for constant cultivation, some of the beginner’s mistakes begin to show up. (Some of you veteran garden ers must not smile; the same kind of bugs and weeds are in your gardens, too.) Along with the first crops from their gardens, beginners are also gathering some new knowledge. How to Identify Pests. Protecting garden plants from pests isn’t so hard if you know which pests to Watch out for, and something about the damage they do. There are numerous bulletins available, showing pictures of the more com mon garden insects and samples of. their work, and giving directions for their control. The restrictions on rotenone, safe and effective in controlling garden pests, have been removed so that gardeners should be able to get all they need.. Other safe and effective materials are pyre- thrum, nicotine sulphate and cry olite. Some of the ailments of garden crops are caused by plant diseases rather than plant insects. Preven tion and control of these diseases can be accomplished by spraying and dusting. Cultivate When Plants Are Dry. Plant diseases that affect the leaves, pods, and fruits spread from plant to plant during rainy periods. Likewise, the diseases are spread by the gardener who cul tivates or picks vegetables when the plants are wet with rain or dew. This applies particularly to beans, tomatoes, eggplants, cu cumbers, m e lo n s, pumpkins, squash — cultivate or pick when plants are dry! , The use of spectacles was in troduced about the year 1300.
