LIVING
ALONE & Liking It!
HIS sounds easy enough, doesn't it? Especially if you have a job to keep you busy and a salary big enough to pay the rent of a bachelor-rpoin.
But, all the same. there are rules,
and it is wisest to follow them.
If you want to be really happy in your flatlet, choose one at à rental you can afford casily. If it is always a strain on your budget and you have to do without new stockings and hair- waves, half the pleasure of living there will be gone.
Choose one that gets n good share of sunshine at the time of day think you appreciate it. If you want cheer. ing up in the morning, look for an east room; if you like brightness at your window in the evening, pick one that looks westward,
When you have settled in, do re- member that each room in that con- verted house or block of flats is a self- contained home and ought to have all the privacy of house with a garden and sturdy front-door.
Do not develop the friendly but try- ing habit of popping in and out of your neighbour's room and allowing her the same freedom in yours.
If you make your own breakfast be- fore going to business in the morning. be sure to rise in ample time to took proper ment. Hurried cups of tca Awallowed while you are dreaming. burnt toast eaten as you are dashing uut of the door... they'}} only result in indigestion and bad temper.
Make your bed and tidy your room before you go out in the morning, even iiieans getting up half-an-hour earlier. There is nothing mare chin- heartening after a day's work than _coming_home_to_an_untidy room.
Besides, you never know whom you may meet on the way home and invite lo call.
Don't develop the Old Mald habit of eating serup meals with no food value and the minimum of cooking effort. Tako an interest in food and your Reneral health will reward you.
Pay all your bills, rent; gas, milk, and so on, regularly, and budget for food, clotties and entertaining on what 13 left Keep an odd shllling or two secret cache against a rainy day,

you'll never need to worry.
Den't give too many parties, don't be noisy alter ten o'clock, and don't do nything that might worry a ubivour neighbour. Do enay on your radio late at night, and don't be ten team in the bathroom.

URING the past month every fashion parado has had its quota of fur coats; coats cut on fine new lines with unusual col- lars, tailored shoulders and gracefully fitting swing backs,
They were in varying lengths. Cuto little monkey Jackets with cut-away basques, three-quarter length swing backs, and the new seven-eighths length with close- atting line at the waist and hips. "There were long ones, too, in every type of fur, ranging in price from a few pounds to several hundreds.
But, alas! Naturo plays strange tricks withi the fashion-mongers. She has sent us a month of lovely Indian summer weather, and the fur costs are left hang- ing on the rall.'

Summer days, though, do not last for ever, and I felt it my job to go round nud hear the latest fur happen- lors.
"We've lost д mouth's trade," they told me in one great fur store. "We've got to catch up, so we are keep- ing the prices down, although polts are every- where dearer."
The three-quarter and long coats are the best "buy" for the future. Shaped on good straight lines, with an unusual collar
- Peter Pan is a favourite ~with alcoves that are widish at the top and narrow from the elbow.
The linings are
mainly satin, and soft browns are
the favourite shades.
Now for the actual furs themselves. I will describe three or four I picked out at Swears and Wells, which will give you a basis of price guldance. For before buying n fur coat, make up your mind what amount you are able to spend and go for the best value.

To my mind a good mar- mot is much better than a poor mink, And if you can't afford squirrel, go for dyed flank musqeach, which, by the way, attracted me quite a lot.
It 19 a lovely shado of brown, and is worked in nar- row strips like squirrel, a very becoming fur.
I have seen it made up in the square-shouldered swagger style and Peter Pan collar, beautifully ight but warm, for 12 guineus. Then a mink marmot swatser can be purchased for the same price.
For really hard wear I know of no- thing better than a natural westera musquash, and was surprised to find a full-length coat in dark silky pelis for a guineas.

Household Hints
To remove grease stains from wall- paper place blotting paper over
the stain and press a waïm fron on it until the grense has become ab- Borbed.
It is often difficult to make a paper pattern adhere to the material when you are cutting out. Place the paper pattem rough side down on the material to be cut, and press with a moderately hot iron. No pins will then be needed and the cloth will not wrinkle.
Cat and dog halra on your clothes, cushions and chair-seals are most troublesome to remove by brushing, But they will all come out easily It you rub with a velvet pod. This re- maves every hair, yet they do not stick to the velvet.
Stains on glass flower-vases or water juga can be removed by shak Int ittle vinegar and water in them.
To tie up parcels securely for the post, damp the string before using it. It will shrink as it dries and be much lighter than it used in the ordinary way.
Oranges are sometimes very hard to peel nicely. But if you soak them in bolling water for three or four minutes before peeling the white pith will come off casily, leaving the frut perfectly clean and ready to slice,
Removing Tight Stoppers
Removing screw stoppers that have become stuck on bottles, often means hurt hands, and may even prove Im- possible. An easy way to tackle them in to hold them first under the hot and then the cold, tap. Then grasp the stopper with a piece of
sand- paper and unscrew. Once open, rub, a little olive oli round the threads of the screw to prevent it sticking again.
You can easily prevent the jam bolling out of a suet pudding, by spreading a thin layer of brend- crumbs over the mixture before spreading on the jam.
Here is an easy way to cure n dripping tap. Turn it on to its fullest extent and place a few drops of lubricating oil round the base of the hundle. Then turn it off slowly.
Stamps which have been placed on the wrong envelope can easily be removed if a piece of wet blotting paper the same size is placed on the spot for a few moments.
You will find it easier to get a nice, clean edge when cutting out georgette, chiffon, and similar materials If you place your scissors in hot water for a few seconds before using them.

Banishing Mud Splashes
WHEN a cloth coat is spotted with Y mud, dissolve a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda in a cup of water and sponge the marks with this solu- tion until they have disappeared.
Press the coat on the wrong side with a hot iron. Spots on the hem- line of oliskin and satin raincoats -should-be-brushed-off when-quite-dry-
any remaining stains removed with soapy water.
and
Fine calment, rubbed in with a clean rag, is excellent for removing mudstains from suede shoes; brush cut with a wire brush. The best treatment for glace kid shoes is n gentle sponging followed, when they are dry, by the usual pollening.
Mud stains on umbrellas which will not yield to brushing should be re- moved
with rub of methylated spirits.
