CLOSING A VERY ACTIVE SEASON with Beverage For Summer In marked contrast with the American custom of the first of coffee in the morning being the most important of the day, in Old Vienna, afternoon coffee was a most serious coffee drinking ritual. During the afternoon hours, the coffee houses were filled with men talking about politics or busiress, reading the newspapers visiting a friend. Coffee house proprietors realized that coffee drinking was serious business, and therefore insisted that the green coffee beans were roasted ground fresh daily. Proprietors also well knew their clientele and fixed the brews to suit individual tastes.

The customers had many preferences, from small cups to large ones Russian-style, in a glass. fee was served with varying amounts of milk, with whipped cream, and also black. Customers called for their coffee color indicating "a white one" a "brown one," "white with whipped cream" or "black with whipped cream." The ter is still known in United States as "Viennese Coffee."

They were will do their utmost for you incorporates cleanliness with hair-free legs. In order to pass the barefoot test, you must rid yourself of pebbly skin areas, roughened heels and near-callouses. A thorough pedicure should become part of your beauty routine.

Begin now and you will be proud of your feet on the beach this Summer for it takes a little time to produce results. Bathing the feet daily has always been recommended for old-fashioned comfort but for developing a smooth textured skin there's no better formula. Avoid wearing the same shoes two days in succession if you can and whenever possible change your shoes once a day because it is relaxing to foot and leg muscles and encourages circulation as well. (Your shoes seem to last longer, too, when they are given a chance to air.) Use Nail Brush Use a brush with plenty of warm soap suds to scrub toughened areas aroud the sole of the foot. A nail brush smooths skin beneath the nails novelty touches on new stockyou wear them with barefoot designed for each other and if you practice foot care which and smooth skin will not collect dirt and grime so readily.

Rub a bit of body lotion or baby oil into cuticles and around the toenails and over the instep. Not only will this help smooth skin but save hosiery which can snag and pull on rough areas. Toenails should be cut straight across and then made smooth with a few strokes of your emory board--straight across also. Don't cut or round corners if you want to avoid ingrown toenails. Use nail polish to match that on your fingernails.

But today's young space cadets, to say nothing of their cowboy friends, have definite ideas on fashion and young shoes are as new and original for Summer 1952 as Mother's and Dad's. The sturdy all-leather play oxford is still Mother's favorite, but once the fitting requirement is settled, mudguard variations, smart colored stitching, monk straps which cross over the laces and contrasting leather vamp plugs make active small feet very adult indeed!

Recently my husband told me that his feeling for me was dead--all because I never kept the house as clean and orderly as he thought 1 it should be, and he got so he didn't care to come home. It seems this had been building up for a long time and instead of say.

ing anything, he kept it to himself. (May I add, his mother keeps a spotless house, with no muss or fuss, everything always in place.) In addition to caring for three children, I had washing and ironing to do, and dishes were always in the sink and toys everywhere. Mary Haworth It seems I just couldn't get organized; but since the problem has come into the open I have (through necessity) found a way to keep the house nice and the dishes clean. We have agreed to try to save our marriage because of the children; but as Clyde works 14 to 18 hours daily during the week, I can't ask him to do my work, too. I do hope you can help me, as I think it unwise to talk to friends or relatives.

Before we were married we attended Sunday School and church services every Sunday, but in the last four years we've never gone to Sunday School and rarely to church. I thought this might be the place to start. Also, I haven't kept myself up as well as before, since I hardly ever out because of the children. Staying home, side by ride. A little yellow kid 2-strap pump with an asymmetric throat line and matchiing side bow scores with subteens.

Washable Shades Thrifty shoppers insist washable window shades. and grit will cut the threads, mar the looks, shorten the life span of shades. Sponge frequently both sides with soap and for shade life insurance.

so much has made me very dull company. As you can see, I am entirely to blame for the problem. I brought it all on myself by careless ignorance. N. C.

Not Without Blame DEAR N. don't believe you are as much to blame for the rift as you think, or as Clyde insists. Rather I infer that the sad state rof affairs is at least as much his fault as yours. It is my impression that your slack performance in the role of household slavery, chained to a child tending routine, has been due to lack of incentive to make a good showing- which means, in other words, that Clyde has been neglecting you and the children. Your references to his long hours of work, plus the fact that you've hardly been off the premises for years, indicate that he is taking little interest in family life during the time of greatest tedium -namely, when children are small.

Should Be Helpmate You cannot win him back without his cooperation; and if he wishes to save the marriage for the children's sake, he's certainly got to work cordially with you to repair mistakes. This is the best antidote to his assumption of heavy grievance--a self-justifying excuse for negligence, in my opinion. In all probability, his sudden complaints against you are a byproduct of recent infatuation with somebody else-a woman co-worker, or crony acquired in the environs where he loafs after hours, when unfairly avoiding the stresses of home life.
