"We weren't even unpacked and
my husband has had to batch it
ever since."

Municipal hospital where she spent
long hours on a rocking bed to aid
her circulation and breathing Then

It isn't necessary to iron every
thing. In many homes, especially
during the busy summer season,
the ironing of sheets, dish towels
and much underwear and children's
clothing is Considered quite unnec
essary. Thorough drying and care
ful folding is all that's needed.
Laundry Basket Buying: You can
t save yourself much future ironing
by wise buying of garments and
household textiles. Choose such
fabrics as jersey, seersucker and
corduroy for children's clothes.
When nylon fits the purpose, be
sure to choose it. Nylon is used
for many things besides hosiery
and women's underwear now ?
children's rompers and men's
shirts, among .others. It's worth the
extra cost.
Good equipment Helps; In iron
ing, as in most other jobs requiring
skill, it's hard to do a good job
quickly and easily unless you have
good equipment to help you out.
A good iron, ironing board and
high chair will pay for themselves
over the years in terms of time
and energy %aved. Give sit-down

Ear, Ear! I Love
Yon, My Dear
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
' AP N'ewsfeaturcs Writer
Faye Emerson and Elliot Roose
velt made their first post-divorce
appearance together recently in
a New York night club and spent
much of their time kissing each
other on the ear.
Obviously, when a couple with
the stature of Miss E. and Mr. R.
.start ear smooching in night clubs
one may presume there is a trend
which may soon turn into a fad.
1 have researched handy books
and magazines carefully and find
no references at all to ear-kissing,
in or out of night clubs I am ad
vised that some native tribes show
affection by nose-rubbing, but I
find nothing, but nothing, about
ear kissing.
Absence of references, pro or
con, in standard books of etiquette
indicates that Miss Emerson and
Mr. Roosevelt are trail blazing, so
it behooves us to observe and
study carefully their precedent.
According to one observer? and
sometimes 1 think night> club ob
servers aren't the most reliable in
the world ? Miss Emerson was kiss
ed on the left ear 17 times by Mr.
Roosevelt. Miss Emerson, accord
ing to this same fellow's score card,
kissed Mr. Roosevelt 17 times on
his RIGHT ear. As 1 understand j
correct seating at night club ban
quettes, Mr. Roosevelt should have
been sitting on Miss Emerson's I
right, which would make it rather,
difficult for him to reach around i
to hit her on the left ear. It would
also be difficult for Miss Emerson j
to reach Mr. Roosevelt's right ear.
Anyway, it is pretty obviously a ,
special, technique and in the half
light of a night club the necessary
bobbing and shifting of heads must
have made the scene resemble a
French ceremony involving pre
sentation of the Legion of Honor
medal.
. Enough then, of technique, ex- j
cept to comment that it must have
been pretty interesting when it
kept our observer counting kisses
while his companion of the eve
ning undoubtedly just sat there
and boiled with rage.
Now we will speculate on the
social significance of ear-kissing,
which will probably be taken up
by the magazines, adopted by the
college crowd and finally, by cafe
society, although not necessarily
in that order.
It is fairly obvious that ear kiss
ing is a salute reserved for rather
special occasions. Miss Emerson
and Mr. Roosevelt said they had
not yet reconciled, so I should
judge that an ear-kiss is a little
more friendly than a handshake
but not quite as hearty as a peck
on the cheek.
As a matter of fact, it ought to
come in quite handy at cocktail
parties. If used frequently, ear

I made no comment on it in eon- j

highly significant. It is apparent
Miss Emerson is indicating that
ears carrying earrings should never
be kissed. I feel sure some types i
of earrings, like pendants and !
thost with sharp wings would of
fer a handicap to the kisser, if not
outright danger of injury. 'But if
the kissees were routinely equipped
with one earring, worn, of course,
on the RKHIT ear, there would be
no problem.
Speaking of trends, as we were,
another more serious one than ear
kissing has come to my attention.

, 1VV Best Friend ^
J? "?? Pol^ian
By DAVID TAYLOR MAKKK
AF Etluc ation W ritcr
A policeman can be one of your
child's We^l friends. 11 all depends
on the attitude of the parent, says
the National Kindergarten Asso
ciation.
One of the first lessons to teach
a child, says the Association, is to
consider a policeman a real friend
and one in whom he can place
conl idcnce.
Here's what happened to one
lad of five who had been taught
this way: ,
His mother took him to a fair
and somehow lie became separat* |
ed from her. People began to no
tice the child when they saw him
walk up one aisle and down an
other, evidently searching for
someone. He appeared to Ik? per
fectly calm and composed.
When he came near the door
where one of the observers stood,
he was asked: "Looking for some
one?"
He turned his face toward his
questioner with an expression of
complete trust and answered,
"Yes'm, I'm looking for a police
man."
"A i>oliceman?' he was asked.
"Yes'm," lie nodded his curly
lir,ul "I lost Mommy, so I'm look
ing for a policeman to find $iy
Mommy for mo."
The iruiiiirinK lady took over
from there. With his small hand
in hers they made their way to
the first aid station, which was lo
cated in a large tent.
The woman did not expect to
find his ' Mommy" at the station,
hnt there she was; and the little
fellow took it as a matter of
course. What surprised the observ
er most was to see the mother
so perfectly calm and confident.
She told the observer and several
interested policemen and others,
she knew her child was safe, be
cause he would remember just
what to do.
She had taught her child to
have confidence in the police and,
because she knew that when they
