By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Writer Lack of time is one of the things some 20 million working women have in common, says Charlotte Adams, who has just authored a home-making guide for working women. Her new book, “Housekeeping after Office Hours,” stresses the importance of the orderly method of housekeeping — the system, schedule gnd routine which make life simplef for busy women who have little time for housekeeping. Miss Adams, housekeeping and food expert, offers to the disor ganized, in particular, a daily schedule from the basic “Get Up” to seeing that clothes are in order for the next day. She as sumes the working woman is with out help and works a full day. Her “Weekly Homework” chart advises that on Monday clothes go to laundry on the way to work and that on Tuesday you take the clothes to the cleaners, etc. She sees free-day Saturday as the day to market, have the laundry de livered and put it away and to do the big chores such as vacuum ing, scrubbing and waxing linol eum, if necessary. The little ex tra tasks such as polishing metals, defrpsting the refrigerator and mending clothes may be spaced over the week at any free time. She believes that if there is a husband or older children they should certainly share the work. Mechanical aids such as the washing machinb, ironer, and vac- umm cleaner should make the career girl’s life simple, she says, but she thinks too many of these instruction booklets “are not nearly so informative as they might be.” She offers advice in the care and maintenance of all such equipment which might confuse or be booby traps to the housewife from the steam iron to the broiler rotisserie. She advises about kitchen equip ment that “before you buy, you review your cooking habits and the types of food you serve most, so that you may be sure to acquire what is needed.” She suggests that “oven pans should be designed for easy handling with potholders, that rolled rims make metal pans easier Bridge Club Elects Summer President Mrs. Dottie Bell was elected president of the Aggie Wives Bridge club for the summer. Vice president will be Mrs. Jean ette Williford, and Mrs. Barbara Jones was elected secretary and treasurer. Mi’s. Jean Place will be the re porter. A Bridge-O-party will be held this week at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday in room 2A and 2B at the MSC. There will be prizes given for all the games. j Winners from last Thursday night were Betty Patterson, Bobby Armstrong, Mary Nell Shaffer and Tylene Wales. Dr. Mayo To Review ‘Point Counterpoint’ Dr. T. F. Mayo will review “Point Counterpoint” by Aledous Huxley, at the Architecture! Wives society meeting at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday in the south solarium of the YMCA. Husbands are invited and this will be the final meeting of the school year. to grasp firmly, and that pottery or glass oven dishes should have handles or protruding ears. Floor coverings and plastics are explained in this book as well as table settings. Miss Adams says. “Most of us are not as obsessed as was the generation before us about what is the correct thing' to possess or to do. This is aH to the good. . . we are interested in setting beautiful and attractive tables . . . but with less fuss and feathers. She advises asi the first rule of thumb in selecting silver that “anything simple is likely to Wear better . . . and anything classic is likely to remain in your favor longer than anything very much of the momeng. She ad vises simplicity in the selection of glass, and thinks that “if you can afford to own it, fine china is perhaps not as perishable aS you are inclined to think.” A chapter “Be Your Own Handy- woman” explains that ‘‘most of us pay outside helpers: a good deal of money to do minior repairs in our homes. In this respect, our education has failed us miserably.” She advises learning rudiments by watching the plumber change the washer some time, asking a few questions. She also gives advice on hoW to rewire a plug, how to repair a radio, and what tools to own for small repairs. She advises that “the cardinal factor to be considered in plan ning meals to be prepared by the working - woman cook are time of preparation, simplicity, nutritive value, balance and variety.” She suggests a typical 20-min ute menu for a busy girl, which begins in the morning when she puts melon balls in the refriger ator to defrost. Her dinraer menu includes hamburgers in barbecue sauce and quick-frozen food$— potatoes, broccoli and brown ’n serve biscuits. Whipped cream makes a quick and delicious topping for a cake. But after you spread it on the top layer, sprinkle it with toasted co conut, chocolate shot or shavings of chocolate, or chopped nuts, so you’ll have a pretty effect. Tastes good, too! Common Sense Aids Child’s Convalescence By ANNETTE DAVIS The aftermath of a child’s illness can be more of a prob lem than the illness itself. “If a child is allowed to be come too demanding or de pendent while he is sick, he may have difficulty adjusting to other children when he returns to a nor mal routine,” says Dr. Thelma Hunt, he^d of the Psychology De partment of George Washington University. A child who has been coddled too much may run to mother for protection when he should be tak ing up for himself, she says. To avoid this, she cautions the mother not to let her sympathy get the best of her and not to disrupt any training schedule which has been started. Knowing when to call the doctor sometimes presents a problem. Dr. Hunt gives these suggestions: Call the doctor if the child’s tem perature goes too high, if he is sick more than a couple of days, or if there are any peculiar signs and symptoms which are different from past illnesses. The doctor should always be called, Dr. Hunt emphasizes, if the mother is so worried that she stands a chance of upsetting the child. Sometimes, just talking with the doctor over the phone can re assure an anxious mother. “If a child has built up a fear of the doctor, it’s the doctor’s fault most of the time, not the child’s,” says Dr. Hunt, who carries on a private practice herself. There are two important things a mother should understand about her child’s illness, says Dr. Hunt. First, she should be able to recognize the difference between a real sickness and the times when little Tommy says he “doesn’t feel good” because he wants to stay home from school. One of the best ways to tell is by taking his temperature. If he has fever, that is a good indication he should stay at home. The second thing to know is that a sick child behaves differently. Even a slight temperature may cause him to be more irritable than usual. ATTENTION!
