FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1952 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Zipper Sewing Easy When Using Cellophane Tape W ATER SPOTS on furniture are those which are white or gray. They may be removed by rubbing with a cloth dipped in water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Rub dry with a clean cloth, then polish Oil of camphor or oil of pepper mint are sometimes used for re moving water spots on furniture Rub the spot lightly with this, then dry and apply furniture polish. Finger-marked or sticky furni ture will need to be cleaned, a small spot at a time, with a soft cloth dipped in a lather made oi mild soapsuds and lukewarm water. Rinse with cloth dipped in clear water, dry and polish. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Fruit Candy Bars (Makes 12) ~ % cup pitted dates, prunes or figs Vt cup raisins % cup nuts % cup drained, crushed pineapple 1 cup shredded coconut Put dates, raisins and nuts through the food grinder.

Dip a knife in cold water and slice into 12 bars, %-inch thick and 2 inches long. Roll in re maining coconut, then chill and store in refrigerator. Spilled perfumes or medicines cause stains because they remove the varnish or sheUac from the furniture, since they contain al cohol. Wipe off spilled alcohol im mediately, and rub spot quickly with fingers or an oiled cloth. Neglected alcohol stains should be treated as follows: mix lemon oil and rottenstone to a creamy paste. Apply mixture to the stain rubbing in small circles. Wipe im mediately wit$i cloth moistened with lemon oil. Place a new coat of varnish over the entire surface. When hot dlslies have been set down on unprotected surfaces of wood they leave a white stain. Dampen a cloth with oil of cam phor or peppermint. Rub spot well and let dry, then use furniture polish. WATCH AND JEWELRY REPAIRS BROADUS LIPSCOMB WATCHMAKER 2309 Johnstone Street BY EDNA MILES jTNSERTING a zipper in a ■L dress or skirt often can be a bugaboo even for women experienced at home sewing. It takes time, doesn’t always come out smooth, sometimes means a stretched seam. That’s why a new and sure method of putting in a zipper is such welcome news. It re quires only the use of cello phane* tape and it’s this use that eliminates pinning, bast ing, ripping—and all the ac companying guesswork. There’s little or no han dling of the fabric. This means that seams won’t ^stretch and that you won’t pull the zipper tape out of shape. Nor is there a need for pins. When the zipper ia in, it’s there to stay. It won’t buckle, pucker or pull the seam. We’ve chosen to show a slot seam, which is right for sleeves or the back opening of a dress. But exactly the same principle applies to the lapped seam type of placket used in either dress or skirt. Sew the seam up to the point where the zipper opens. Then press entire seam into place. Now run strip of cellophane tape along entire outside length of opening so that fabric 'edges will be just touching. Turn the material and place zipper along the seam on the wrong side of the garment. Use strips of tape crosswise to hold zipper next to the seam. This holds the zipper firmly in place while you sew on the machine. Now for the actual sewing. Stitch It on either side of the garment except if you have a chain-stitch machine. Run the stitching down one side, across and up the other side. Finally, remove tape and press garment. M-Sgt.

W. Eleazer’s “A Dutch Fork Fhrm Boy” has been drawing comments from people far beyond South Carolina since its publica tion early in March. “A chuckle on every page” has been one observation. Aside from its entertainment value, however, the book will add a great deal to the knowledge of life in the Dutch Fork a gen eration ago. Also, several new words should be added to the dictionary. “Dominecker,” for instance, ap plies to chickens with checked feathers—or, almost checked. But the dictionary comes up with the dignified "dominique.” It might prove where the chickens come from, but any South Carolina rooster called “dominique” would feel like an alien in his own barnyard.

H 5 - don’t like about women: FALSE COLORS — Don’t apply lipstick to fernp. exaggerated lip lines. When he kisses you, the false lines will fade, and he will be chagrined to find he wasn’t kissing your lips after all. A man whose girl camouflages her mouth too de ceptively is always afraid it will pop up where he least expects it and bite him- HIGHBROW EYEBROWS — Too many women look at men with eyebrows lifted too haughtily by the eyebrow pencil. This makes a man feel like a slightly tainted fish. Other women attain too bi zarre effects with the pentil. Don’t pluck all your eyebrows and pen cil in their place, “I Like Ike.” Men are frightened of women who show too much interest in politics. BAD MANNERS—Men don’t like for women to comb their hair over a restaurant table. If you can’t go to the powder room, stick your head under the table. But act poised in this. Don’t lose your head. You don’t want your escort and the head waiter groping under the table for it. SCENTIMENT—Perfume should be no stronger than a whiff. If you give a man a steady, strong ema nation that assaults his nostrils and threatens to drag him into ro mance by the nose, he’s likely to .••un out for air and not return. But give-him just a smidgin of “Seduc tion” or “Forbidderf Fruit” and he will keep sniffing for more. SLACKS—Women in slacks offe- men no fond illusion—all looks lik'- confusion and intrusion.
