HOUSEHOLD HINTS By Mary Ann Knowit Now' that Easter has pas sed and vve are quite familiar with all o. the Spring fashions our thoughts are now turn ing to the Summer ones. This week, I want to concentrate on the summer’s footwear for it’s very interesting this year and for t ose of .us that go hare legg u. t will he extrem ely excn..«ig. Far the past two years we nave not.ced each They seem.d odd a. li st, but now the &i. s have found that they are ju i n.e things to be won, '..eiuath their long sum men skirts. V\ e must remem ber, however, that to get that attractive ,ook in these’sand al, we mast first remove the ha r from our legs and apply the correct sayle of leg make up. .Another thing we mustn t foigec is that our toe-nails aiUji he caied for as well as our tin emails, and if we use mi; pel : h it should be a shade toac men s wth your costume. The. w n be in the shoe shop i nbeauu.ta .go.d and silver k u, black suetie, and also in floral p infs, i will intorm you now that in the finest sh oe shops the e adorable sand als wdl co t you from seven to fifteen dollars a pair, so I suggest that you make them at home. This sandal of which I wri.e has nairow criss-cros sed straps that begin at the toe and wind very uniquely .up to the ankle. You may make strapes to go with every dress or skirt you have. Your shoemaker will put leather so.es on the bottom if you desire. I have the pattern to i.iese sandais and for complete instructions, wri'e to the Ho me Sewing Bu.eau, 400 Man hat.an Avenue. New \ork. N. Y., Suite 4. Ladies, he c is something that most of us are quilty of and I think that it is high time that that we put a stop to it. We not only spol our own'ap pearances, hut we create un favorable impressions to the people who visit our homes. How many times have you come in from church, a party, or club meeting and immed iately change into an old dress that you don’t mind soiling whi e preparing the family’s meal? And how many of us tie our heads up in an old piece of cloth and put on the most tattered- dress in our closet when we are doing our gener al house-cleaning? 1 hen, on how many occasions have we had to apologize for our ap pearances when an unexpect ed guest, a relative or the in surance collector dropped in? They will naturally accept your apOflogy, but they do not forget it. Now, I( say that the common belief that the only way we can save our nicest clothes is by changing them as soon as we get home is ab solutely an unjustifiable one. I suggest that you have aprons for al] occasions. And that you not dash and buy them, but make them yourself right at home. For heavy cleaning jumpers made of creton with all-over cap for the hair will -not only improve your appear ance while doing heavy-clean ing. but will last longer than one of your old dresses. Take youy old dresses and make ap rons to slip over your nicer dresses, u an unexpected per son calls you merely slip off the apron, take a last minute look at your hair and when you open the door you are ut terly charming. We, as women always want to look nice, but we sometimes find * it hard •while doing household tasks. If you will put my suggestion into practice, I guarantee you that you wifi need no apologies and will make a favorable im pression when visitors call. If you need help on how to make all kinds of aprons, write to the Home Sewing Bureau. 400 Manhattan Ave., New York 26, New York, Suite 4, and you will receive a very help ful booklet on how to make aprons for all occasions.

A quick and efficient job was done by the Navy in rescuing survivors.
