THE TROUBLED AIR by Irwin Shaw Everyone who has reached matur- ity in America is involved in the mor- al predicament so tensely revealed In Irwin Shaw's' new novel. We are be- ing held responsible at an anxious moment in history for all the identi- fications and allegiances of our re- cent past. What we thought and felt and were has come due for a personal settlement. In his second novel, the author of The Young Lions makes us search ourselves as he probes to the heart of the people, who, out of earnest- ness or a mistaken humanitarianism or naivete or even treachery, aligned themselves with either Communism or violent reaction in the United States. Perfidy on the extreme right or left and good intentioned liberal- ism in the middle come alive not only as issues, but as the central emot- ional crisis of our time. The Troubled Air is far more than a novel that crystalizes and clarifies the perplexities all of us know and have lived with so long; it is a mov- ingly human story of man's undis- couragable search for rectitude. WOMAN AT THE WINDOW by Nelia. Gardner White In this novel of conflict between two sisters—quiet, introspective Liz and beautiful, dominating Anna-- Nelia Gardner White has done one of her most telling portrayals of character and has written a perpet- ually surprising story of family life. Liz is the "little sister" who grew up in the shadow of Anna's sparkling personality. When , Anna married, Liz stayed home. She is twenty-sev- en at the opening of the story, and circumstances have finally freed her. She has a job, an apartment in a strange town, a chance to shape her own future. When a serious accident perman- ently invalids Anna, Liz is called upon to be nurse ,companion and housekeeper for Anna and her hus- band and child. The prospect of living a life of her own is postponed —perhaps •forever. Anna's disable- ment has made her charm and her will all the stronger. Sitting in 'the window of her upstairs room, she watches the people who pass in ,the street, knows all the life of the town, holds court for her many friends, rules the household at will. Liz gradu- ally sees that Anna is sapping the life of her husband and little sons the life of anyone on whom she can gain a hold, to add to the half-life she has left. In- Anna, Mrs. White has drawn a subtle and true portrait of the dom- ineering woman who unscrupulously exerts her power over other people. In Liz there is the warmly under- standing story of a girl learning to stand on her own two feet, trying desperately to save herself from a senseless denial of the man she loves.

Flannelette pyjamas and sheets are indispensable for wintry nights—and flannelette shirts and blouses are very comfort- able for frosty mornings. Not only are today's flennelettes soft, warm and attractive, but they are easily "tub- bed". Take care, of flannelettes in the same manner as other cottons in your everyday washing. Hot water will not harm flannelettes and since they are sanforized, shrinkage is reduced to a minimum. Flannelette goes in the washing machine with terry tow- els and other garments with napped surfaces, Don't wash flannelette with smooth surfaced cotton 'materials, es- pecially plain, dark coloured cottons, since linting from flannelettes is in- evitable and noticeable in such cases. The soft nap of flannelette tends to take on a pebbly appearance after a few washings but this does not mar its softness, warmness or attractive- ness. WASHING WOOLLENS 1. Treat all garments of a wool nature the same as 100 per cent wool. 2. Remember the wool cannot stand changes in temperature and too much agitation ,so keep water temperatures even—lukewarm for 1 soaking, washing and rinsing—and • the washing and rinsing time must be brief. 3. If the water is hard, use either a sudsing detergent, or if you use soap ,add a water softener or con- ditioner, because wools pick up a great deal of curd from soap in hard water. 4. Soak woollens for about five min-1 utes in suds. Since wool is woven under tension it relaxes to a cer- tain extent when it comes in con- tact with the warmth of the water and the soap and detergent. 5. Even a dirty blanket or soiled baby clothes wash clean in two minutes after the soaking period. 6, Be sure to, use-two deep rinses of lukewarm water. 7.If your machine has an overflow rinse use this method. 8. The spin washing machine action is a good substitute for the wring- er 'as it fluffs up the nap on wool- lens. 9. Gently pull woollens into shape. Do not use clothes-pins. Never dry woollens in direct sunlight, in too strong a wind or too extreme cold. 10. Dry blankets over a double line if possible. On a single line, let ends hang lengthwise over it. Shift a blanket occasionally, pull- ing and straightening the edges each time. When a blanket is com- pletely dry—shake well, spread out flat and brush in one direction with a fine wire brush to fluff up the nap. The binding may be dampened and pressed with a warm iron. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. R. W. Asks: How do you re- move egg and orange juice from a good woollen blanket? Answer: If the blanket has not been washed, try the following as soon as possible: (1) Sponge the stain with cool water and use a solution of equal parts water and denatured alcohol; or (2) Apply a weak vinegar or lemon juice solution then sponge with water immediately after. If the egg has not been removed work a soapless shampoo or clear glycerine into it and leave for about 2 hours, then sponge with water. Mrs. J. D. asks: Can lipstick be re- moved after a blouse has been laun- dered. Answer: The lipstick stain may be removed by sprinkling sodium per- borate on a dampened spot. Mrs. H. M. asks: Is there any way to make a bar of soap last longer? Answer: Always unwrap soap and leave exposed in the air to dry. Keep an extra bar drying out while one is in use. Mrs. T. S. asks: Will an electric ironer cost more to operate than a hand lion? Answer: Ironers have 0 per cent more wattage than a Modem 1009 watt iron, However, you would pro- bably save half the ironing time by using an electric ironer so you may save about 25 per cent of your elm" Welty consumption. B. K. asks; The porcelain en-' arnel on parts oi our washing mach- ine has been chipped and rusted. Will the rust cause holes at these spots? Answer: Rust will soon deteriorate enamel tubs. You can easily repair by sanding the rust spot smooth to remove rust, Then paint over with aluminum paint to prevent further rusting, When dry, the spot may be touched up with a white ,.enamel .144# purchased especially for this purpcmg,.
