Do you get the most from your
nylon stockings? If you do not
you may not be using good judg
ment when you buy them. Let us
consider.
First of all, do you buy the
type of nylon suited to your
needs? Or do
you buy ultra
sheer hose for
street wear,
picnics, and
everyday house
wear? Because
that’s pretty
silly. Your ny
lon dollar will
go so much far
ther i* yon use
your head
Blanche Spann hiuse
Pease and such, buy
. . a heavy duty
nylon in heavy service weight
and you’ll get a lot of extra wear
mileage. Hose won’t go right
through at heel and toe and won’t
snag so easily. For general wear,
a utility sheer will give good du
ty. This is sheer enough and
dressy enough for most purposes.
For your dressiest most
glamorous times get the ultra
sheers and then keep them
strictly for that purpose.
You can also buy a runproof I
nylon that is actually that. Us- j
aally you can purchase them in |
either ultra sheer or utility sheer.
Each tiny stitch is locked in, so
that they actually won’t run and
the mesh is so tiny that a little
ways away you can hardly tell
the difference. These are partic
ularly nice for those who snag
hose easily, young mothers with
children who might snag them,
md so on.
Buy proportioned nylons to fit
four foot size and height, then
;here won’t be garter pull strain
if they really fit you. How often
i tight supporter will pop a run
n your nylons. Be sure you buy
four nylons long enough in the
foot, too short hose wear out
nore quickly.
Buy hose of a conservative col
3r that will go with your ward
•obe all the way through and you
ivill have a better buy. And you
11 get more for your money if
you buy 3 pair of nylons in the
same color at one time, and if
you buy 6, you are pairs ahead.
That means you can keep match
ing up the good hose into pairs
for many months. The cost of
your hose per pair, according to
the wear you get from them, will
be much less when you buy more
pairs at a time. The most expen
sive way to buy hose, no matter
what you pay for them, is to buy
only one pair at a time. You get a
pair more of wear from 3 pairs so
you can see why I say to buy 6.
Suds out nylons before wear
ing them. Theyre coated with
something to give them sheen
and washing before wearing
new hose will lengthen their
wear.
Always wash them just after
wearing if possible because soil
weakens the fibers. Have more
pairs and rotate the wear and
they’ll wear longer, too, for the
rest in between.
Put nylons on carefully, roll
ing up to slip over foot and pull
ing up carefully. Watch out for
rough hands, nails or rings. Give
your nylons good treatment and
you will get longer wear for
your trouble.

'We' Speeds Quilting
for Beginner —
Mrs. Harold Shaw, of Atkinson,
wins our 3-months’ subscription
today.
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I am a former O’Neill girl and
am still interested in O’Neill, so
you know I really enjoy The
Frontier.
I listen to the “Voice of The
Frontier” and enjoy it a lot.
I put a state flower garden
quilt in the frames to quilt this
winter and in 2 weeks we had it
finished. I say “we” because my
friends helped me. Without their
help, it would have taken me all
winter, as I’m only a beginner at
quilting. It’s so beautiful!
We have 3 children. Wayne is
17 and a junior in high schooL
Dick is 15 and a freshman. The
boys go to Bassett to high school
and stay with their grandmoth
er, Mrs. W. R| Shaw. Linda is 10
years-old and goes to school out
nere. Miss Dickau is her teacher.
We live 35 miles from Bas
sett and it's a regular job to
lake the boys in Sunday and
get them Friday. It's 3 miles to
Linda's school so that's a daily
job. We're thankful for an open
winter.
Here’s a recipe for French apple
pie I like very much. Cooking is
a hobby of mine that I enjoy but
like all housewives, get tired of t
it. J
FRENCH APPLE PIE
One cup brown sugar, Vz cup
flour, Vz cup butter. Mix and put
this over your apples in c raw
crust and bake.

It is so much easier to tear
down than it is to build up. May
be that is why so few people are
willing to help with the building
of other people’s success stories.
One of the hardest people you
can possibly find to live with is \
yourself.
Most people don’t know what
they want until they can’t get it.
“To live a long life, choose
long lived parents and make your
entrance into this world in
March,” advises a physician. Too
bad but this information came to
us 42 years too late to do me any
good.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Miller and
sons, of Norfolk, visited in O’
Neill Sunday with Mr. and Mrs.
George VanEvery and Mr. and
Mrs. LaVerne VanEvery. ^

Nobody wonders what you’re driving
when you roll by in this one.
In the 1951 line-up, its brand-new
front-end styling stands out with a
beauty all its own.
You’re the proud owner of a Buick—
and the whole world knows it.
But you—at the wheel—enjoy a long
list of differences that go far deeper
than looks.
The ride is different—lewl and true,
^u sit the road with special assurance
because Buick's torque-tube drive
keeps rear wheels firmly aligned-soft
coil springs on all four wheels soak up
the bumps and bobbles—honest weight
keeps you on a steady keeL
*■■1—ririHn. —» —T“ r»i ,
The power is different—eager and sure.
Buick’s high-compression Fireball
engine does wonders with fuel — and
no matter what you demand in emer
gency, there’s horsepower to spare.
Handling is different—this car seems
to steer itself on straightaway or curve
—and swings lightly into parking spots
inches shorter than you’d think you
need.
^digging it all, there’s the silken versa
tility of Dynaflow Drive,* that takes
all the tenseness out of driving —
responds to your slightest wish with a
surgi ng swoop of power.
No doubt about it, what you get in a I
Buick is far more than just a new car
— it’s a whole new experience in get
ting pleasurably from here to there.
So why not explore this difference? i
Come, take a Buick over and find out :
how very much satisfaction smart
money can buy.
