Hints On
Fashions
The girl who is budget-minded
tvhen it comes to clothes is happy
that navy blue is now a year ’round
sector, so that she can do a carry
over with accessories. Navy blue wool
jersey is used for this campus or
country frock made with draw-string
■waistline and silver clasp fasteners.
The short sleeved dress is topped by
a tiny red knit bolero jacket. The
skirt features slit pockets and a seam
centre front and back.

CASUALLY you flip a switch . ; ; and
there at your command is Electricity,
to make life easier in dozens of ways. And
in thousands of Ontario plants, the turn
ing of a switch symbolizes the power of
industry’s “all-out” drive to produce the
weapons and material of victory.
It’s so dependable, we take Hydro for
granted. Yet behind that snap of your
finger lie the thundering waters of
mighty rivers ... a system of 46 Hydro
generating stations . . . thousands of
miles of transmission lines ♦ . . the dis
tribution system of your own municipal
Hydro utility ... all at your command.
This is your Hydro:—modern science and
thousands of willing hands organized ,
to serve your needs ... at a
low cost that is scarcely
rivalled anywhere.

QUESTION BOX
Mrs'. C. McT. asks: “What will I use
to take head marks off the back of
a chesterfield chair which is cover
ed with a colored wool and rayon
repp?”
ANSWER: Carbon tetrachloride is
non-inflammable. Moisten a piece of
clean cloth and begining well out
side the spot rub in circles towards
the centre.
Mrs. J. T. says: “Since the coal has
been put in the cellar the stairs are
greasy. They have been washed
several times. What shall I use?”
ANSWER: What kind of wood are
these steps, Mrs. J. T.? A grease
film may be due to. the amount of
soap left on, A clean cloth and a
basin of clear hot water should be
used to rinse off any soapy water.
Lye and a sn:all amount of soap
in the water is the best solution.
Remember to follow directions on
the lye tin and use a brush instead
of a scrub cloth.
Mrs. M. C. asks: “What may cause
a thin grease film on the top of the
ice cubes in my refrigerator?”
ANSWER: Remember to cover
everything placed in tjie refrigera
tor with wax paper or oil-silk cov
ers, etc.—especially the milk pitch
er, the latter may be the. cause of
this film. Keep a small cup with
a little baking soda in it in the re
frigerator for awhile. Only products
which have their natural covering
such as eggs, apples, melons, etc.
may be left’ uncovered, unless you
own a special type of electric re
frigerator.

Parcels for Men in Uniform
Hello Homemakers! Just a few
suggestions on packing your parcels
for Overseas; and we do hope you
received the answers to your personal
letters in plenty of time. Remember—
sign your name in full—if you require
an immediate reply. We’re always
glad to hear from our enthusiastic
readers. . ‘ ! > 1 ’

Fortified with tissue and wrapping
paper, tins, boxes, cord, scissors, glue
and labels, you’re ready for action!
♦ * *
These are your Christmas boxes, so
make them particularly attractive with
seals, etc., but sturdy packing must
be used. Choose a good, heavy card
board box for the food stuffs. If it’s
lined with corrugated paper so much
the better—it’s light—so the increase
in weight is slight. To keep the par
cels in place tie them together with
good, strong cord. Choose tasty foods
that will travel well. Returned men
say their pals in England ask for
anything homemade, that will keep,
enroute. A fruit cake or cookies —
honey bars and date bread, and
candy—not only for the soldier him
self—but enough to share with his
English friends, who love sweets, and
see so little, nowadays. Dried fruits,
canned soups, fruit juices, meats,
fruits, jams, maralades, chocolate and
coffee are all most acceptable—and
easy to pack.
xAmything warm and comfortable to
wear should be included — gloves,
socks, mitts, sweaters, a woolly bath-
