As I usually shrink sweaters when I wash them, from year to

year any material on laundering it sweater properly is promptly clipped out and saved. Sometimes

I lose the clippings and continue to shrink all my sweaters to give to rummage sales. But. it few tips I've managed to keep and perhaps I can hand them on . . . As a first step bcforn dipping a sweater. it's a good idea to shli-r A thread through the neckline and sleeve and waist cuffs. where it's most likely to stretch. Matching elastic thread is fine for this pur- pose as it serves through wear- ing ss well as washing. . . . Unless you have a sweater drying frame you might make a sweater dummy before washing. preferably while the"-.-iarmentflis new and at its sha-pely best. Trace an exact out- line on a piece of cardboard and Make is separate dummy for each sleeve as well as for the body of .the. sweater. I

Now whip up plenty of luke- warm soapsuds. leaving them a hit on the cool side. Don't soak the sweater. And don't rub. Wl"lIlK of twist it. Instcnd. squeeze it gent- ly. forcing suds through the soil- ed places and taking care not to lift the sweater up without sup- porting it from underneath. Press sudsy water against the side of the basin. and rinse with the same gentle care in clear water of the same temperature using a hand- cupping motion. Roll and knead the sweater in a towel until it's as dry as possible thcn place it flat upon a fresh towel. Slip card- board body and sleeves inside and adjust gently in fit. Besides mak- ing an efficient blocking frame which can he uscd again and again. the cardboard hurries up the drying by its absorbency.

Flowers were the most beautiful lihings accessible to primitive man, so that he naturally attributed them to his gods; looking upon them as their signs and symbols he gather- ed iihem whenever his emotions were involved and ceremonies or festivals were in preparation. The flowers that became t.iie accepted decoration of the people. the homes and ilhe temples at all cele- brations from primitive times on- wards, were looked upon with but. half an eye for their beauty, yet with a full consciousness of their mystical values.

.'llhe astrologers of early civiliza- tions dedicated the plants they knew to the planet and they main- tained it as necessary to under- stand the strong sympathy be- tween the heavenly bodies and plants in order effectively to use their curative properties. They also said the time of birth of an individual placed him under the influence of the particular planet that was then in the ascendani, and that the flowers of his star would especially protect him.

How Can I ! ! ! By Anne Ashley

Q. How can I make thin hands plump?

A. First wash the hands in very warm water and rub in cocoa butter. or any good skin food, for five minutes. Then hold the hands an instant in ice cold water and wipe dry. The cold water closes up the pores while filled with the skin food. and new tissue is built. Q. How can I remove an iodine stain from wood?

A. Wr-t sonic corn starch in milk and cover the stain. Allow to stand for about a minute; then rub with a cloth until the stain is gone.

Q. How can I dry wet bed- clothes quickly? A. There is no better way to

drv wet bedclothing quickly than with a hot. water bottle. -placcd between the bed covers.

CHILDREN WHO STUTTER

Although physicians and others interested in speech correction and the treatment of speech dis- orders -have been trying for years to tell parents and the public that stuttering is a nervous disorder. not a speech defect. there are still many parents who continue to be- lieve that their youngster will gradually "grow out of it." It is true that some children do over- ccme stuttering once they begin school or playing and mixing with other children, but. unfortunately this often does not happen and parents should consult their phy-
