SHOWERS FOR WARTIME
BRIDES
I•Iello Ii'omemakens1 The lovely
old custoan of giving Showers for
brides may still ;be carried ou in
wartime, but remember to keep
them practical and inexpensive as
well as dainty. We suggest an
.initial Chest shower, You might
borrow a big cardiboard box, give it
a fight Coat or paint to harmonize
with your decorations, or trim it
with crepe Paper. Then turn the
box up's'ide down to house the gifts.
Cut smog holes, in the top to form
the initials of the (bride and at the
front to form a hearttehaped lock.
in each hole, put a nosegay of
flowers with string attached below
to a girt. Wild Rowers, or any gar-
den:
ardon blooms would be lovely. As
the bride picks a nosegay, her as-
sistant alba the .string and pro-
duces a gift.
What to give the bride? Some -
piling she will need, something that
will last, something dere wants Us'e-
ful articles include a recipe book or
file, mending kit and fust -aid -kit.

GETTING SHARPER PICTURES
Much of the appeal of this splendid snapshot lies in the fact that every
thing from the foregroundut rho the horizons In i sharply In focus. Strive for
SHARPNESS in every picture, with
relatively few exceptions, is ex-
tremely. important to its success. It
is, I think, souietliing we should 'all/
• strive to attain. And fortunately it's
not difficult to achieve.
The way I see it, sharpness in a
photograph depends principally up-
on three things: First, a steady earn.
ora; gocond, correct focusing; and
third,: correct exposure. Get those
' down pat and you'll have little
trouble in your picture anaking.
But let's take those points one by
one, First, the important matter of
camera steadiness. 7'o achieve this
goal you must practice handling
Your camera until you are absolute-
ly familiar with its operation. Or,
better yet, get the tripod habit. Plac-
ing your camera on a 'tripod every
lime you take a picture, or at )east
resting it against a firm support, will
mean sharper pictures consistently.
Next, there's the matter of cor-
rect focusing. If you don't have a
range finder on your camera or
among its accessories, measure the
distance from camera to subject
carefully, especially with close-ups.
Or, try pacing it off. If you know the
length of your average step you can
quickly estimate distances with con-
siderable accuracy. Whatever you
do, don't guess. •
The third important point is cor-
rect exposure. Always choose the'
smallest lens aperture so that you'll
get maximum depth of field. And
don't try to handhold your camera
when tieing a shutter speed Blower
than 1/25 second. Most people 0atl,
for all practical purposes, hand -hold
exposures of 1/25 second, but you'll
get sharpor pictures if you use 1/50
or 1/100 second exposures as your
minimum.

sugar does nothing more than supply
quick energy and Create an appetite
for more sugar.
Here are "painless'' ways to cut
dawn on sugar:
Gradually reduce a'm'ounts in tea,
o0ffee and .on cereals.
Make icings thinner or eliminate
entirely.
Serve fruits in edason in their nat-
ural .eta'te instead et cakes, pies and
puddings.
When stewing fruit add sugar to-
wards the end of the awaking period
when it takes less tc sweeten. A
ptndli rot salt added will bring out
the flavour. Avoid using scala as this
destroys vitamins.
Substitute Honey, corn syrup,
maple products or =Image when
available. Remember, it you have to
buy these substitu%tes that they cost
more. than sugar, Save this money to
serve more of tine protective .foods—
fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, 'cheese,

family beeenves• accustomed to the

likelihood prefer it.
If dried fruits see used in mutflns

particularly valuable. Don't waste a thing.
Keep turning all the scrap metals, rags,
