WOMEN SMUGGLERS
More women than inon attempt
to smuggle iirliclos Into the United
Slates from aboard , according to
U. s. Customs officials,
Hut the difference between ilium
is that most women tiro petty
smugglers, while men go In for It
In a big way, according to an aril-
clo In Iliu March issue of tlooil
Housekeeping magazine,
"Women when caught are morn
likely to put on a show ," the arti-
cle stales In pari, "Tboy cry ;
they plead poverty; tboy try to
bargain,"
"An obvious but Incomplete an-
swer Is that I bey want to save tho
price of tho duty, " the article
Stales, "Women consider smug-
gling a kind of Innocent gume.
They apparently have little diffi-
culty rationalizing iheir purl in It.
Certainly they do not use such a
harsh word as 'smuggler ' to de-
scribe thomselvoH. Sometimes a
woman merely wants tho satisfac-
tion of putting something over on
a man."
Valuable warnin gs for potential
women smugglers are contained
In tho article which lists tho vari-
ous techniques which women think
are foolproof but which are old hat
to the alert customs men.
One of the most hackneyed is re-
placing a foreign label with a do-
mestic one. The main troubl e with
that one Is that tho substituted
label usually doesn't entirely cover
the spot occupied by the old one,
and anyway Inspectors pay little
attention to labels,
"They know a foreign garment
by Its cut and Its material ," the
article points out. "If It is fur
they can tell by the dresser's mark
on the skins. If the Inspector is in
doubt he culls an appraiser."
Right there is where the ama-
teurish tricks employed by would-
be smugglers are exposed because
a customs appraiser is a specialist
In his line whether lt be furs, silks
or gowns, and in many instances
can tell the passenger Just where
she bought the article and the
price paid for It.

U. S. Reports Cran-
berry Crop Figures CAPE COD SUMMER , by Elea-
nor Early. (Houghton Mifflin Cpm-
puny, Boston. $3.00.),
Now thnt we begin to feel the
first chills of winter, lt may to an
appropriate time to discus* a book
doollng with our very bread and
butter . . . the summer.
Sevoral yeui-s ago, Eleanor Early
wrote a hook about this Cape of I
ours, and jimt last summer revised
her former edition with some new
facia and now tales. The manner
in which the book is written la
casual and Interesting. Miss Early
starts at the Route 6 side of the
Canal, spinning her yarns and »1T-
lng appropriate local cooking rec-
ipes all tho way to Provincetown
and back again across the other
side ot the Cape, so that she does
not skip ono single locale, Of course*
no one can bo blamed for empha-
sizing some townships and just
barely mentioning others . After all .
how many ot us real Cape Codders
know all about our neighbors on
this peninsula?
To your rovlowor , the most en-
joyable chapter In Ihe whole book
was tho one basod on Cape cooking.
Miss Early tukon hoc hobby ot the
culinary arts to heart and certainly
gave her readers anino wondorful
Ideas ami the means of carrying
them out , too! Other outstanding
chapters wore those husod on tho
remodeling of an old house, which
Is a game so familiar to UB here on
tile Cupe. Needless lo say, her
tales ahum tho old Hou-i-upfnlns of
long, long ago aro priceless, though
In some cases I hey have boon found
In other books.
Unfortunately, the author marred
an otherwise vory entertaining
tourist guide by an all loo frequent
reference to each town 's best bars
and by another fault of mentally
digging through every grave In
every cemetery, Sho may be fasci-
nated by thorn, but not every read-
er possibly could.
Tho book was apparently written
for "off-lho-Cupors " and does give
them a most untorluinlng picture
of their siiiuiunrland paradise. Its
old-time tales are priceless and so
aro the descriptions of familiar
land-marks. It is good reading in a
very light voln,—M. Pratt,

THE art of Interior dccorulion gocn a long wuy buck. It'll an intriguing Study
as any of you who have ever luken u course in llic Milijerl will lenlify. Some
people, you know, have on inborn knack for decorating —they seem !« nil
upon interesting furniture arrangement!), color combination! und comple-
mentary fabrics with ease and completely charming results. Hut whether or
not you have that feeling
for decorating, it is some-
thing that can he developed
and learned as you learn
any other subject, Above all
don't feci that you have lo
employ the services of a
firofcssional before you can
lave your home looking
the way you want it to look.
You're already on your way
to decorating when you have
a picture plan in your mind.
And who among us doesn't
know just how she would
like her home or apartment
to look?
Hut let 'sbe practical.Much
as we dislike admitting it,
our budgets do govern our
tosles lo a large degree.
Perhaps you've given your
heart to some household fur-
nishing only to find that the
price is too far out of your
range. If that's the case, the best thing
lo do is to forget about it and decide
on something that is good, but within
your budget. Even with strict budget
limitations you can make your home
the most charming place in the world
for you and your family.
If you think about it you can usually
work out your own budget-stretching
substitutes. For a starter, here are three
ideas that you might investigate. Look
at unpainled furniture in Ihe stores
and compare prices. By doing some of
ihe finishing work yourself you can
add several extra nieces of furniture
lo your rooms, Don I overlook the deco-
rative and practical value of plain
bookshelves or wall brackets,
These can very nicely double for
dressing tables for ihe bathroom, or
for the hall console. If you find thai
at the present you don't have quite
enough dollars lo buy a well-constructed
I sofa, then why not decide on a day-bed
or studio couch with bolster pillows?
It's always usable later on in a guest
room or child's room.
A color-bright, soft rug wilt add
friendliness and cheer lo any room. The
rug ia made of lulls — and you know
how easy they are lo make up and how
quickly they go. You can make Ihe
rug in three shades of blue or pink
and white. On your rug foundation —
which you can buy in your nearest
chain or department store — yau'll find
dots indicating where each tufl is in
be sewn. It's as easy as that to dupli-
cate Ihis delightful FIRESIDE RUG.
If you would like an instruction leaflet
giving directions for making the tufts
for this rug, just send a stamped, self,
addressed envelope to the Needlework
Department of this paper and ask for
Leaflet No. 516.
Needlecraft Newsc-^^
Some very interestin g studios
have been made In late years on
the subject of retailing as a career
tor young people. The old idea
that anybody could do a satis-
factory job of working in a storo
is no longer tenable. Retailing Is
a complex and highly specialized
enterprise, Large stores have ns
many as 800 different job classifi-
cations. And even In very small
stores, a long list of aptitudes and
skills Is required.
Small stores, It Is pointed out i
frequently offer the host placo for
training. One person performs a
multitude of duties. Thnt Is a prim-
ary reason why tho lop people In
retail trade today so often began
at tho bottom In m
'odest Btores.
They literally learned tho job from
the ground up.
Opportunity In retailing is un-
limited. Practically all of the largo
stores, Including tho chain sys-
tems, had extremely humblo be-
ginnings. Their growth was tho In-
evitable result of tholr giving the
kind of service that tho public
liked. What happened in the past
Is happening still. Few enterprises
offer the individual so much chance
to demonstrate Imagination , In-
genuity and a brand of porsonal
public relations that makes friends
and customers.
Retailing, In all its varied
branches, Isn't just a Job. It's a
career. And those who approach
11 with that altitude have the best
chance of going to the top.

Haybprry Is a bountiful aromatic.

ally grows less than six fuel and
is most commonly found at tho
three- or four- foot height.
Nurserymen furnishing good
planls of those shrubs usually ship

aro rather difficult to establish . Iu
