CHILD'S PLAY Cufa bottle for napkins By BUROIiKER and HUNTSINGER A pretty napkin holder can be made from an ' ordinary plastic liquid detergent or soap bottle. When completed, itis hard to guess the origin of this decorative and practical table ornament. Use a container that is nine inches tall, and cut off the top sothe bottle now measures six and one half inches from the bottom. On both the front and back, draw an oval or curved shape. It is best to trace around a pa- per pattern so both sides will be exactly the same. The highest part of the . curve should measure four and a quarter inches from the bot- Neit, cut down the sides so there are two strips, each about an inch wide. Cut to about one inch from the bot- ` tan so the entire length will be about five inches. Use very sharp scissors or knife to make an inch wide slip into which the side strips can be folded back and tucked into. These will form handles on either side. First, however, punch holes along all the edges with a pa- per, leather, or similar punch tool. Be sure to make these just as even as possible. Then, use bright braid, soft leather, or yarn to lace a design through each hole. Decorate the top and edges, then lace along the sides of the handle strips. An overhand or whip stitch is the easiest and looks good, though you can experi- ment and try for other, more intricate stitches if desired. Sip the handles into place and then the holder is finished except for additional decorat- ing. As the accompanying il- lustration suggests, an artifi- cial flower .and a bit of 144. can add 8dainty extra touch. Decals or magazine cutouts can also be attractive. You may also find other uses for this container besides holding paper napkins. What- ever function it fills, chances are it will be for something that keeps this once out -of - sight bottle right in plain view. QUESTIONS WOMEN -ASK Does marijuana affect pregnancy'? By ELEANOR B. RODGERSON, M.D. Q. My husband and.I smoked marijuana for awhile before we were married. Now we want a child. Will it be nor- mal? Is there any danger of a congenital anomaly? A: I have not seen any re- ports linking marijuana with congenital anomalies. If there were going to be effects, they would be more likely with marijuana smoking during pregnancy and there have been no reports of these, ei- ther. There are still 9 lot of un- knowns when it comes to con - „genital defects and we all have heard of families who deliver abnormal children "but of the blue," so to speak, no , histories of problems. All the factors tha influ- ence unborn babies- 'e heft researched carefull a..ay and we are learning slowly. *Now there are lists of agents a pregnant woman should avoid if possible and her doctor will tell her of others when they appear. Of course, some drugstnust be given to certain pregnant women to treat other conditions, like diabetes and epilepsy. There is the old balancing act between the good of one and the evil of the other. The undeveloped ova in the ovaries do not seem to be touched by drugs before preg- nancy and, in the male, new sperrrl,{cells are manufactured constantly. It is after fertili- zation_ that we worrr.about what drugs will do to the de- veloping parts of the baby in the uterus. At this state and throughout pregnancy, ordinary tobacco smoking is harmful, let alone aspirin, alcohol, ampheta- mines, antacids, bar- biturates, and tetracycline. Cigarette smoking produces low -birth -weight babies which have more difficulties with life than normal-sized babies. Tetracycline will color de- ci uous teeth. Certain hor- . mhnes may slightly masculin- ize a female baby and diethyl- stilbestrol (DES) may cause abnormalities of the genital tract and vaginal cancer. It seems sensible to avoid anything that is not pre- scribed for a good reason and to begin a few months before you try fora pregnancy. Q. I took birth -control pills before I got pregnant. Now I plan to nurse my baby. I don't want to get pregnant again right away, so is it all right to go back on the pills? Will they hurt the baby? A. The main disadvantage of going back on the oral con- traceptives is that they may decrease your milk supply just when the baby needs it most and just when the strug- gle may be upsetting for _you. They would probably not hurt the baby — 'there is no evi- dence that points to harm — but.I think you will do better if you use some other form of contraception while you are nursing. I would recommend the dia- phragm and jelly, but you could talk to your doctor about the advisability of an intrauterine dev!fce. Using a means that is not harmful will give your milk supply a better chance of being adequate. However, some women are -good milk producers even while taking the pills. There is no way to be sure l efore trial. Cts Corn crisps and shortbread with a £utch Touch CA votary .cookies make a nice change and have a few less calories than sugary Qnes. But not many less, s don't get carried away when nibbling on these special goodies made with Dutch cheese. The Holland crisp is crunchy like a potato chip --- and just as "more -ash" — while the shortbread has a soft-. , inbIy texture. Dutch Cheese Shortbread 1 cup (4 ounces) imported Holland Edam or Gouda 'A cup all-purpose flour 1 pup whole wheat flour 1/4 teaspoon salt Cream shredded cheese and butter; blend in flour and salt.

Lightly butter one 9 -inch square cake pan or one 9 -inch round layer cake pan. Press the dough firmly and evenly into the bot- tom of the pan. Cut the short- bread into squares or wedges. Prick with a fork. Bake in 400° oven 20-25 minutes until golden. When cool cut down lines again and remove from baking pan. Makes 12 squares or wedges. land c4 ps • pups boiling water 1 cup cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/s teaspoon curry IA/mica '/4 cup butter 1/ .cup (2 -ounces) shredded imported Holland Edam or Gouda Pour boiling water on corn- meal.
