Groom Your Fingertips

.Give yourself a home manicure
—you don’t have to stop mani
curing for the duration just be
cause your favorite beauty oper
ator has taken a war job.
First, make sure you have the
proper equipment. An orange
wood stick, emery board, nail
brush, polish remover and cot
ton are all musts.
Don’t cut your cuticle. If cut,
an unattractive ragged edge will
form around the nail in a few
days.
Remember, if fingernails are
extremely dry, to use cuticle oil
nightly. To remove ink or cig
arette stains on hands and fin
gers use cuticle remover. If very
stubborn, use pumice stone.
When old enamel becomes thick,
thin out with solvent and not
with remover.
Florence Pearsall, whose hand=
are insured for $40,000, demon
strates how she gives herself a
home manicure:
1.—Remove polish: Roll
cotton into a ball. Moisten with
remover and press on nail.
Be sure to hold for a few sec
onds before attempting to re
move as this will soften the old
polish and it can be removed
without any smudging.
2.—File nails: Always file up
from sides and use an emery
board unless the nails are very
tough. Use the rough side of
the emery for the hard work
and the smooth side to file the
ragged underlining.
3.—Dunk your fingertips: Use
a stiff brush with soapy water
to scrub fingrtips and undr
neath the fingernails.
4.—Apply polish: Keep hand
on flat surface. Brin? one
quick coat directly down cen
ter. Then fill in sides. A new
face shade. Bright Forecast, is
effective for use with dark win
ter costumes.
5.—Clean-up job: A tooth
pick dipped in oily polish re
mover will help clean your
fingers of specks of nail polish
—the final touch.
Half a cup of leftover cooked
meat when added to leftover
mashed potatoes makes a good
topper to place over creamed
j vegetables. Bake 15 minutes and
you have a meat extended main
dish, low in cost and in points.
Try spareribs with an apple
stuffing. Make up stuffing the
regular way and for each two
cups add a cup of diced apples,
strained use of herbs (marjoram, j
thyme, sweet basil) and a dash
of poultry seasonings (kind put
into savory meat or poultry stuff
ings).
“Rinse” out the catsup, chili
sauce or other rglish bottle with
j 4 tablespoons or so of French
dressing. This prevents any
waste of the catsup. Add the
dressing and shake the bottle
thoroughly and 'use as desired.
Broiled or braised “franks"
make a wholesome border for a
platter of browned beans (baked
or top cooked). Dribble a little
catsup or pickle relish over tfie
franks.
Peanut butter gives new flavor
and more nutrition to waffles,
i Mix the butter until creamy with
liquid called for in the recipe.
Redudfe the fat by one-half when
adding peanut butter.
Frizzled dried beef added to a
savory brown sauce makes a
good meat extended dish when it
is served atop boiled macaroni,
noodles or rice. Season these
starchy ‘‘underpinnings” for
foods salt, pepper, celery salt and
some margarine or butter, melt
ed H're is a chance to do some
extra seasoning through a re
For an extra touch to salad
dressings, mix in some cottage
cheese, add a few broken nuts
and pass with fruit salad. This
can pinch hit for dessert course.
.Accompany by toasted crackers.
Honey, lightly spiced with cin
namon and cloves and mixed with
margarine makes a grand tOp
spread for hot toast. .
Try cored apples, filled with
sausage and baked.
To remove the odor of fish
from tea towels and dish cloths
boil them for five minutes in one
tablespoon baking soda added to
a quart of water. Rinse in warm
and then in cold water. Soda wa
ter will also remove the odor
from the hands.
A quick way to dry your dish
es is to have twin dish towels. A
fresh dry towel in each hand will
dispose of thefn twice as fast.

EAGER BEAVER
OR SAD SACK
— ..
By JOSEPH C. GOODWIN

SHREVEPORT. La. — Arabs in
GI barracks bags and mattress
cover zoot suits, wives who do
not talk back to their husbands
and “dates” known either as
“sad saks” or "eager beavers”
form succulent bits in a literary
mulligan stew dished up tn
friends here by a beautiful erst
wh le blonde Red Cross worker
somewhere in North Africa—a
blonde who said ‘‘oui’ at the
wrong time and now finds her
self a glamorous redhead.
Writing to friends here where
she formerly lived Miss Kay
Bateman 24, and pleasant to
view, blames an inadvertent
“oui" (yes) in a French beauty
shop (when she, meant “no”)
for her red hair.
“It^s a bit confusing.’' she
admits, ‘‘as the boys don’t call
me Blondie any more.”
Of the clothing bottleneck in
Africa Miss Bateman writes:
The Arabs are strictly up
against it for material and it
takes so dam much to make a
dress for one of them. They
would give you almost any
thing for a sheet. Consequnt
Iv th hospitals and hotels were
missing sheets for a while.
One Arab was seen dressed in
a GI barracks bag with a name
and serial number on the seat
99
Says Miss Bateman of the mar
ital relationship:
“Sometimes you see a hack or j
buggy pass with an Arab wftTT
all his harem. They all sit in
the back and look at each other.
They are herded around like a
bunch of sheep and seem to
thing nothing of it.
"I hare actually seen aa Arab
pass by riding on a small don
key with a wife walking sev
eral paces behind. I'm afraid
these customs among the Arabs
are going to make a hit with
the American soldiers and by
the time they get home their
wives are going to be wonder
ing what has come over them.”
Of the boy-meets->girl situa
tion in the recently occupied ter
ritory Miss Bateman sas:
‘‘If a boy takes you out on a
date, you either turn out to bo
a Sad sack’ or an 'eager bear
er’ depending upon whether or
not he liked on. If you don’t
particularly like something you
just naturally take a 'dim view*
of it. Everybody is always tak
ing a dim view of everything
over here . . . ”
