far Is Making Individuals Of Many ‘Dutiful’ Wives By RUTH MILLETT She has been married for five cr ten years and her marriage has heen happj• She has followed all the 1930 1940 rules ior making it so. Her home has been run for hei hus band's pleasure and convenience. Sbe hasn’t bored him with peo ple whom she likes an(f doesn’t. jjer husband s hobbies have be come hers. Her clothes and her hair-do are chos Bath Millett . en because they please her hus band. and reflect his taste. She has stayed young and pret ty, not t6 please herself, but be cause she has been told so many times that if she lets herself go, she stands a good chance of los ing her man to another woman. Well, it all worked fine so long as her husband was home. Her husband was happy and she was happy because of it.' There was nothing wrong with the picture— until the Army called her hus band. Now there is no one to please but herself and she has almost forgotten she ever had indivi dual tastes and preferences. Worse than that she has lost all rest for pleasing herself, for do ing things just because she per sonally wants to do them and gets a kick out of it. The test for everything for so many years has been, “Will John enjoy it?” SHE’S AT LOOSE ENDS So she is pretty much at loose ends and will be until she be gins to remember all those things she used to enjoy before she set tled down to a life founded on the belief that it was her first duty to make someone else happy. She’ll learn in time, and then living alone won’t be quite so deadly. She may even turn into a decided individual who no long er gives the impression of being just a lonely half of a tempor- j ily broken partnership. And about that time her hus band will come home and she’ll have to learn all over again the routine of living to make another person happy, unless she has gained enough wisdom to found the renewed marriage on a real partnership, one that lets both husband and wife remain indivi duals. * * * | Miss Ruth E.

They are making four or five pieces of enameled ware do the work of complete sets and are buying only the pots and pans which are absolutely necessary. Porcelain enameled utensils have specialized uses, of course, but they can serve multiple pur poses as well. Enameled double boilers. fo> instance may be used as two sauce pans, as cereal cook ers, or rice boilers. The lower section of covered roasters may be used as bake pans. In fact, these versatile pots and pans “pinch hit” successfully for any number of kitchen operations. Ration your enameled utensils and give them the care they merit. They will last for the duration— and even longer. - —■— --"" TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!

Beautifying, Thrifty Makeup Tricks Avoid Extravagant Use of Cosmetics By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer The war. at teast, has cured us of adopting every dressing- table' tip that crosses our path. The habit of running out, to try every new kind of cream that you heard performed a new kind of wonder, went into limbo along with the habit of slathering on and then wiping off great blobs of seem ingly inexhaustible cosmetics. Yet this is a time for more in stead of loss experimenting—in a practical manner. Here are a few which are worth trying: Keep your face powder box closed tightly, but when the grains become tightly packed, stir it up to get it fluffy. It will go on more lightly, effectively. Use your nail file or a match stick, and simply stir the powder. Caked powder is an invitation to press a surplus on to your puff and your complexion. Dip your puff lightly in the fluffed powder, ap j ply a little at a time, allow it j to set, and then spread and blend. For quick, inexpensive pickup, just apply very hot and then quite cold water to your face. You can use your facecloth or your hands. This simple trick applies the same principle as some pretty expen sive preparations: it stimulates the complexion by bringing blood to the surface and then quickly closing the pores. If you habitually' waste lipstick by re-do: ng your mouth several times, check your technique. Lips ; should be thoroughly dry. Some beauties actually powder their lips Before applying the rouge, in order ; to get a good purchase for it. Tiiis won’t hurt, but a simpler procedure is to blot your lips well with tissue. And, more impor tant, when you have applied the lipstick and allowed it to set for a moment, blot it on by carefully putting a bit of tissue between the lips and closing mouth firmly. Uncle Sam Will Help Housewives Get This Point Of Rationing By ANN FRANCE WILSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.—If the tion book No. 2 gives you the approaching issuance of War Ra point-ratk rung jitters, cheer up. You’ll get plenty of sympathetic help from official Washington. For one thing, you can expect i a rash of government pamphlets in the next,few weeks, explaining how to buy meat and canned goods with poinis as well as pennies. And you’ll get further assistance at your neighborhood movie house. OPA and OWI have put Holly wood artists to work on an ani mated cartoon which will show the adventures of Mrs. Average House wife on a point-rationed shopping spree at the grocer’s. Also there will be more infor mation on the printed form which you’ll receive when the canned-goods and meat ration book is issued at a date to be announced later. Freezers and Sweepers There’s talk of releasing some of the 400,000 mechanical re frigerators and 130,000 vacuum cleaners now “frozen” in the hands of manufacturers. So far the Army, Navy and home de fense proiects have received a few of the refrigerators. But civilians may possibly get a share of both freezers and sweepers to replace those now wearing out.

Her maids of nonor will be Miss Lois Deane Parker, vice-president of the student body, and Miss Sarah Belle Smith, president of the senior class of the Red Springs college. Flora Macdonald was born in Milton, Island of South Uist, He brides. in 1720, and died there March 4, 1790. She was the daughter of Ronald Macdonald, of Milton who belonged to the Macdonalds of Clanranald. Her father died when she was an infant, and, her mother having married Macdonald of Armadale, Skye, Flofa was removed to that island. I In June, 1746, while on a visit to South Uist, she met Captain O’Neil, one of the companions of Charles Edward Stuart, then on his wan derings after his defeat at Cullo den, and O’Neil proposed that Flora should take Charles with her to Skye, disguised as a woman. She refused, but after an inter view with the prince, entered warmly into the scheme. After en countering serious dangers, Flora, the prince, and an attendant reach ed Skye, where they were assisted by Lady Macdonald, who consigned the prince to the care of her hus band’s factor. Soon after his arrival in Skye, the prince bade farewell to Flora at Portree, and sailed to France. The part she had taken soon be came known, and she was im prisoned until the act of indemnity, in 1747. In 1750 she married Allan Mac donald the younger, of Kingsburgh, and emigrating with him and their family to North Carolina, in 1774, settled in Fayetteville. They had been preceded by many of their j countrymen, after the battle of Culloden, to this region, where at. one time Gaelic was spoken in six counties of the state. Afterward they removed to Cameron hill, and again to a different part of the state. On July 3, 1775, her husband, who, though aged, was a man of jenergy and influence, met Martin, and concerted with him a rising of the Highlanders. He served with the loyalists as captain, and was captured at Moore’s Creek, and confined at Halifax. She then obtained a passport from a Whig officer, and, at the request of her husband, sailed from Charleston to her native land in a British sloop-of-war. On the voyage home they were attacked by a French frigate of superior force, and, when capture seemed inevitable, Flora left her cabin, and stimulated the crew to renewed exertion by her acts and courage. Her arm was broken during the conflict. She landed safely in Scotland, and never again left that country. On her death bed she requested that her body I food served by the head of the table? 5.
