"Impulse" Buying Is Costly
Do you plan meals ahead and
have a shopping list when you
go to the grocery store, or do
you buy whatever attracts at
the moment? Impulse buying
can be costly.
" Here is why—Buying because
the food looks good, is attrac-
tively displayed, or suits your
appetite at the moment, often
rules out such considerations as
price, nutritive value, amount
needed, family preferences, and
left-overs or other foods that
you already hfcve on hand.
Without a plan it is hard to
resist tempting displays. But
you can guard against costly
impulse buying by planning
meals ahead—at least several
days to make best use of foods
on hand to stay within budget
bounds.
Knowing the essentials of a
good diet is necessary lor meal
planning. "The Texas Food Stan-
ard," available from your coun
ty home demonstration agents'
office, Is an easy guide for plan-
ning daily menus.
The shopping list is easy to
plan after menus are made. Time
spent in planning menus and
making a shopping list will

HOME SEWING CAN CUT
CLOTHING COSTS
As you plan the family spring
and summer wardrobe, decide
what to sew and what to buy
ready made-you can have more
and better clothes if you make
them yourself—provided you
sew well and have the time.
You can also save dollars if you
are skilled enough to make your
own alterations of ready mades,
re-model garments, and do a
good job of mending.
A convenient sewing area will
increase your efficiency and
pleasure in sewing. Arrange
for:
Cutting surface or table of
elbow height.
Convenient pressing area—In-
cluding ironing board, sleeve
board and steam iron or
electric iron with pressing
cloth.
Sewing machine (placed so
light comes over left shoul-
der).
Sufficient light, l»th natural
and artificial.
Easily cleaned floor — waste
basket near machine.
Adequate storage for patterns,
supplies, pressing equip-
ment and yard goods with-

Electrical outlets properly
placed for sewing machine
and irons.
Chances are such a working
area already exist* In your home.

"Every plate in my collection
has a special significance to me,
providing an endless source of
joy and entertainment as I
visualize mentally the original
owners and the homes graced
by the plates in their long jour-
ney during the years," said Mrs.
Harry N. Stone in her home at
809 SW Avenue D.
There are over 100 antique
open-handle cake plates of var-
ious artistic designs and colors
in Mrs. Stone's collection, all of
which were gifts to her from
friends and relatives.
The definition of the word
"antique" is "old, priceless, hav-
ing come down from ancient
times in its original * design,
beauty and perfection." This is
truly applicable to the collection
of old-fashioned ware, which is
displayed on the shelves and
walls of Mrs. Stone's living and
dining room. Since the collec-
tion is far too large to all be dis-
played, Mrs. Stone shows a few
at a time, changing them a-
round occasionally.
The ancient art of china paint-
ing w'as studied by members of
societies called "Antiquaries,"
and the records show them in
existence as early as 15721 From
one generation to another these
priceless teachings have been
I passed along to the present. Mrs.
Stone might .be an Antiquary
member, as she keeps a record
of each of her pieces of antique1
china not by the usual number
system, but by the given name
of the donor, thereby lending an
added charm and interest to.
each.
Plates from every nation of
the world are represented in the
Stone collection. Some are hand-
painted and signed by famous
name artists from France, Aus-
tria, Germany, Holland, Vienna,
Prussia, China and Japan.
The most treasured plate, and'
perhaps the most beautiful, in
the collection is one of very
fine pure white China, centered
with delicately tinted pink rose
buds and forget-me-nots, with a
raised and ornate design in gold
on its outer edge. The plate be-
longed to the mother of Mrs.
Stone.
Another treasured heirloom in
her collection is a lovely French
Havlland, daintily decorated with

Brownie Members
Visit Elam Farm
Brownie Troop I met April 24'
at the school cafeteria with their
leaders, Mrs. J. L. Livingston
and Mrs. J. S. Dickey.
After the flag ceremony the
group took a trip to the Dayton
Elam farm. The leaders return-
ed the girls to the city parlt
following a guided tour of the
farm.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. J. S. Taylor to the follow-
ing Brownies: Maewin Dickey,
Glenda Fore, Kathy Hensley,
Brenda King, Sharon Living-
ston, Reginia McGuire, Lora
Lee McRae, Sherry Pullam, Deb-
ra Powers, Carolyn Stringer,
and Sylvia Taylor.
violets and an ornate gold leaf
design border. It belonged to
Mr. Stone's mother, and was
used throughout his boyhood.
The oldest and most expensive
plate is a rare beauty from the
Netherlands depicting a scene in
Northeast Holland on the Frisi-
an Island. It is made of the
finest porcelain and is 12M> in-
ches in diameter, and is framed
in ancient pewter 2% inches
wide, featuring a fanciful and
ornamental scroll design cast in
relief. The Dutch artist, Cornelis
Troast, portrayed a full moon
reflecting upon the blue-green
sea bearing two primitive ships.
A Dutch village is shown in the
distant background.
Bearing the marks of an early
era is an old Minton individual
oyster plate, with the original
owner's monogram in the cen-
ter.
China was originally brought
from the Far East, and it is well
known that the decorations used
by the folk of that region are
never meaningless. So it is with
her cobalt blue plate of Imarl
china, made in Arita, Japan. The
scroll work and birds are em-
blematic of beauty and courage.
These are but a few of the
many, many choice pieces in
the collection, which has been
the hobby of Mrs. Stone for
many years. She said, "A hobby
isn't just collecting something
old, but is a job for the collec-
tor," and it is surely a joy for
Mrs. Stone and those that have
the privilege of knowing her.
Most of her plates have a
personal and historical back-
ground, and Mrs. Stone won-
ders what human life story they
could relate if given the power
of speech. Would it be a story
of poverty, wealth, sorrow; or
peftiaps one of happiness in a
home where their age and beau-
ty are appreciated?
