Newest Rosenfeld Designs By Eieni Henry Rosenfeld is a man who has made a fortune capitalizing on the Idea that American women ought to be able to express their good taste in clothes in a price range they could afford to pay. If a woman could afford $25 for a dress, he felt she ought to be able to find just the right one in our vast American dress market. He also felt it was about time American women stopped apologizing for the low price tags that some of their dresses possessed. With these things in mind, Rosenfeld began his meteoric rise to success in the garment industry. The dress tycoon hasn't changed his thinking in the some eight years his label has appeared in smartly styled fashions women throughout the world have bought by the millions. Our two taffeta dresses are right in keeping with the Rosenfeld tradition of fine fashion not having to possess a big price tag.

(Mrs. P. H., Washington) In October, I become a new tenant of a large unfurnished house in the country. Curtain many windows is expensive but is a necessity. Have the readers any ideas where cheapest yardage may be had in large quantity? Possibly this would be sheer, but would do. Secondly, what is the prayer particle that resembles a piece of gray soot dirt, found inside pillowcases? Automatic washers fail to remove it, but it adheres to inner sides of the case. Does this substance come from feather pillows? Lastly, is there an art to riding a bicycle? That is, for the middle 40s! For 12 years, I’ve had a desire to ride a bike. From the city to the wide-open spaces is some inducement. Would like to enjoy the country woods. Thank you. TAR: CIGARS (Mrs. J. J. G., Washington) At last, I can answer two recent inquiries. One concerned removing tar while at the beach. The preparation suggested which a reader was unable to identify is an expensive cleaner for home use. We found a cheap paint thinner, whose name begins with V, or gasoline, we had for use in our outboard motor and both did an excellent job. The gasoline we used outside, of course. The reader who wanted cigars with “It’s a Boy,” or "It’s a Girl,” on them might try a well-known tobacco and pipe shop on Fourteenth Street between I and K. The name begins with B, and Is in the yellow section or the telephone book under Tobacco, Retail. SOD OR GRASS SEED. (Mrs. D. F. B., Arlington) Again, some of you must know the advantages and disadvantages concerning the problem of whether to sod a lawn or seed it. What is the difference in the cost factor and end result? Thanks again. Attractive Ensemble, Grey Sharkskin... Separate white long-sleeve blouse... All attractively priced, $19.95. 5315 14th St. N.W.

EMBARRASSING SITUATION. (Mrs. A. L. C., Hyattsville) My husband and I have recently moved into our newly built house and have discovered a problem. Our bedroom windows face our neighbor's bedroom windows and we can hear all that they say and I am sure they can hear us. This is quite embarrassing. I wonder if any of your readers have had such a problem and if so, what was your solution. I have thought planting tall shrubs at the side of our house to act as a sound breaker. If this idea would be practical, I would like to know what kind of shrubs to use. Our bedrooms are on the first floor. I do Not want to give our neighbors the idea we do not want to be friendly, I would just like a little privacy. I never miss reading this splendid column. I have just finished making a scrapbook of all the clippings I have cut from RCH. I do hope a reader can help me, as I would like a solution to my problem. SINK TOPS. (Mrs. W. D. M., Washington) I would value opinions regarding advantages and disadvantages, if any, of formal tops. Also, if anyone has had experience with stainless steel sink tops, would like to hear the pros and cons about this type of sink. Our linoleum top is due for a replacement, and I would like the readers’ opinions before we make a choice. Also, any suggestions as to practicality in color in choice of the formula. Thank you for all the helpful ideas gathered from this page. BACK ISSUE WANTED. (Mrs. E. S., Arlington) This is the first time I’ve written to you, but your questions and answers are good. Keep up the good work. Now, I would like to have a back issue of The Star of July 26, on Page A-18. There is an article and pictures of my birthplace of Lewes, Del. If anyone has it, please contact me through RCH. TOUL, FRANCE (Mrs. T. A. N., Washington) Your column is so helpful to others that I thought perhaps through its services I may gain advance information and therefore do early planning for my next move. My husband is stationed with the armed services in Toul, France. Any kind reader who has had experience living there or in Nancy, could help me by giving me general information on climate, types of heating in rented homes, difference of monetary rate of exchange, comparable cost of living there and in Washington, or any other information that will help in our adjustment. We have a family of five children and expect to make the move in late October. This is an SOS requesting some reader to supply two of the best recipes that ever appeared in the RCH and that I have lost. One was for cornbread in a skillet and the other for corn oysters. As a Southerner who appreciates good cornbread, I must admit that the recipe for cornbread in a skillet that was printed a few months ago was one of the best I have ever tasted. I shall be most grateful for recovering these two excellent recipes. CO-OP NURSERY. (Mrs. D.

Ml. 1-1482 Merit Award Is Offered By DAR The Daughters of the American Revolution has just announced its offer of a new Award of Merit to be given to deserving American men and women whose patriotic efforts have bettered their communities in some way. In making known the award offer, Mrs. James B. Patton of Columbus, Ohio, national chairman of the DAR National Defense Committee, declared: “Many people are prone to criticize their fellowmen. Instead, let us look for the good qualities and when a citizen does something for the community or for our youth or our constitutional Republic, let us show our appreciation. We can express our thanks by giving to him or to her the Award of Merit. Such an award presented to an outstanding citizen has unlimited possibilities.” The award, Mrs. Patton said, may be given to any adult who has contributed to community betterment or patriotic effort in any field, thus helping to emphasize the value of the American way of life. The merit prize will be given to adults in every community by DAR chapters and State societies. Mrs. Patton urged that all DAR chapters regard the Award of Merit very seriously and make a real occasion of its presentation. The National Defense Committee is suggesting that the award may be given to a teacher who has had a definite influence for the American way of life, to a minister, politician, lawyer, judge, librarian, businessman, or a citizen from any other walk of life who It is known for constructive work within the community. Though award candidates will be chosen at the local level, Mrs. Patton has already received several enthusiastic letters from DAR chapter regents in various parts of the country informing Rush Tea Planned At Embassy A rush tea for local girls who will attend out-of-town colleges this fall will be given from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Costa Rican Embassy.

The letter outlined the police man’s tireless efforts in behalf of the youth of the community.

UNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1933 Ten-agers, the townspeople are being helped by them. Even before she announced the award, Mrs. Patton got a preview of how the idea would catch on when she informally addressed a group of DAR's two months ago. At the finish of her talk, several women present told her they had already unanimously proposed a candidate—an immigrant so grateful for the blessings of this Nation that he has become the town’s leading philanthropist. The man has made a considerable financial success in the United States, but he is always on the lookout for fellow citizens whom he may assist, the group of ladies told Mrs. Patton. Establishment of the awards is part of the positive program of education in American values being emphasized by Miss Gertrude S. Carraway of New Bern, N.C., DAR president general. “The DAR believes that there are many patriotic leaders in every community whose constructive work for better citizenship has gone unsung,” she stated. “So we think this is the time to let our citizens, the Nation and the world know what a great reservoir of strength, courage, and loyalty rests in the people of our country.” The of Merit is typical of the society’s continuing efforts to inspire better citizenship and higher patriotic goals.
