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.
