THE FRONT ROW
By Elizabeth Clarkson Zart

MRS L.P KINGSLEY of Altoona bought a new girdle in downtown Des Moines, took it home, and glanced at the sales slip before throwing it away. 
It was then she learned that she had just bought:
1 Gerdal - $6.00
"The gerdal fits to perfection!" Mrs Kingsley reports. 
***
IF IT weren't for the sharp eye of Mrs. Leonard Meyer of Iowa Falls we might never have known of the chilly winter's most appropriate betrothal, as announced in last Sunday's register. 
It was there Mrs. Meyer read that Lana SOUTHERN, a Mingo girl , is engaged to Richard KRUSE of Ogden. 
***
AFTER a creme-de-menthe - flavored honey sold by the Trappist monks near Dubuque was mentioned here with a query as to how he could be bought, Genevieve O'Connell wrote to ask Brother Gerard at New Melleray Abbey - and learned that creme de menthe is only one of more than 20 flavors added to honey by the monks. 
From the monastery's honey department, for $1.50 a pound, you can get-by mail- bourbon honey, rum honey, sherry brandy honey, eggnog honey, almond, date-nut, coconut, black walnut, cherry- chip, lemon, peace, raspberry, orange marmalade, mint, natural clover, cinnamon, coffee, creme de cacao, chocolate- chip and - hold your breath - vanilla crunch honey....
***
When Brother Gerard sent us the flavor sheet via Mrs. McConnell he shipped her a sample of the creme de menthe honey, and she finds it delicious. 
She also finds it green. 
"I intend to use it on my tray of open face sandwiches, some St. Patrick's Day," she says. 
***
YESTERDAY, a reader reminds us, was this warning shouted from many a poster by a balding man:
Going!- Going!- Gone !
Too late for Herpicide!!!
***
FRIGHT NOTE: It says here that some termite queens lay 8,000 eggs a day and keep up that pace for YEARS. 
So you'd better go down the basement and look up.
***
THE SUPERINTENDENT of the Iowa Historical Society at the State University gets many thoughtlessly imperious requests for information. 
One of them:
"Can you give me the history of my country? If it is too long to reprint, just rip the chapter out of the book, send it to me, and I'll pay you for it."
(Front Row appears daily in The Des Moines Tribune) 

Mother's Memory Is a Bit Rusty

Dear Ann Landers: I married a fine man, who has two married daughters. They are lovely girls and we get along well. Yesterday morning at 10:30 one of the girls phoned in a panic. She had a noon appointment with the hairdresser and was due to introduce the speaker at a luncheon meeting. The women she had engaged to stay with her 3-year-old son was ill. Would I come and get Freddie? Of course I said yes. 
At 6:15 that evening after I had given Freddie supper, I phoned my stepdaughter and asked when she would like me to bring Freddie back. 
She replied, "When he is 19"
I know she meant it as a joke, but why do young mothers today find children such a nuisance? I reared four of my own and can truthfully say I enjoyed every minute of it. Please comment 
-Just Asking
Ann Says: Your memory is a little rusty, dearie. Nobody can rear four chilfren and "enjoy every minute of it" 
Your stepdaughter was making a small joke. A sense of humor can spell the difference between sanity and the loony bin, so please don't begrudge her the laugh. 

Minority Vote
Dear Ann: I always thought you must be some kind of a nut. Now I am sure of it. For example, you tell people it isn't polite to drop in on friends - that they ought to call up on the phone first. We, never call anybody. We just go right over. No one has ever said they weren't glad to see us. 
A few weeks ago you got off on some crazy idea that nobody should visit a patient in hospital unless they are invited. That one was really out in left field. Who ever heard of a sick person inviting company to the hospital?
The last nutty thing you said was that kids should not be allowed to play with toy guns because it makes a game out of killing. Don't you know that guns are as American as American pie? Honestly, you sound like you're getting too old for your job Annie. Why don't you retire?-Animal Crackers

Ann says: Thanks for your sweet note. The advice stands - all of it. 
Many readers lined up with you, taking exception to my views on toy guns for children, and that's all right with me. Repeating this I believe: A recipe of TV violence and toy weapons can have a devastating effect on children, leading to emotional problems and delinquency. 
P.S. I'll retire when my bosses (which is to say my readers) tell me I can no longer help them. As of now, Buster, yours is a minority vote. 

Mother's Boy
Dear Ann: My husband and I have five children but Boris is still his mother's baby. He has told me his mother comes first and she will as long as she lives. 
His mother must have built-in radar. Every evening just as we sit down to supper, she calls Boris with some darned fool request. Tonight it was, "Go to the pet store and get some bird seed." He dropped everything and went. 
Sometimes I think his mother just sits and thinks up things for him to do because she knows it makes me mad. Shall I tell Boris that if he leaves dinner once more to do something for his mother he can take his clothes over there? - Evelyn

Ann says: No. You'll end up with five fatherless kids and egg on your face. 
Boris is still in knee pants, emotionally. He thinks he's being a good boy by putting Mom first. Even the Bible says a man should put his wife first, but these mama's boys are immovable - so learn to live with yours. 

Ann Landers will be happy to help you with your problems. Writer her in care of The Des Moines, Sunday Register. Her column appears three times weekly on the women's pages of the Des Moines Tribune and in The Sunday Register.

Why Not Paint?
"It's a sacrilege!" These words were hurled at a friend of mine recently for daring to paint over a basement fireplace. I came to the aid of my friend with "Why? Doesn't it look a lot better?" "That's not the point" argued the lady illogically. 
The farm basement room formerly had a dirt floor. The family decided to cement the basement. It had turned out so well, they put up an inexpensive partition and made a built in cabinet to serve as a bar of what-not. 
The fireplace was in fine working condition, but the brick oven had been taken out to make way for some modern heating apparatus, and there were several different textures - one large natural gray stone right over the fireplace opening, different colored bricks and some cement showing. The walls were a combination of whitewashed stone and wood paneling. 
The husband suddenly against several opinions, painted the whole fireplace snow white - the hearthstone, black. it couldn't look smarter or more "right" 
The moral of this little story is "Don't be afraid to paint if it's going to make the object look better - even if its your grandmother's clock."

Country Home
Dear Dorothy Draper: We are planning to build a home in the country. Our furniture will be Early American. We will probably use braided rugs at first. I would appreciate your advice as to color of walls ( I think I would like to have white or something without much color so I wouldn't have to change them if I changed color schemes), draperies, rugs, sofas , chairs, accessories - everything!
- Mrs. W.E.S

Mrs. Draper says: It would be a good idea to make the walls snow white; curtains, delphinium blue; rugs brilliant green ; sofa covered in a print of green and blue pattern on a white background; chairs, delphinium blue; accessories, snow-white. But get a sunny yellow touch in there somewhere. 

Bathroom Window
Dear Dorothy Draper: We have a small bathroom. The bottom half of the walls is light green ceramic tile. The floor is green and white tile (the stone type) We are planning on painting the top and ceiling white. There is one window How can we dress the window other than with the usual curtains? - Mrs. H. K

Mrs. Draper says: Use cafe curtains or shutters, either snow white or the green of your ceramic tile; chinese red accessories. 

Q: Do you always have to have two chairs the same size for a conversational group?- Mrs. N.D
A: No , but it helps to maintain a certain balanced look.

Here is a high light "made from scratch" apricot cake frosted with a fluffy seven minute frosting also flavored with apricots. Don't expect the same delightful; size and texture with anything but cake flour. 

Elegant Apricot Cake *Made From Scratch"

By Sally Rystrom (The Register's Food Editor) 
Cake is one of the most universally appreciated desserts in the world. Nearly every land has some version and a differing opinion about what constitutes a superior cake. 
Some people like them moist and heavy. In parts of Great Britain, we understand, it is standard procedure to slam the oven door just before the cake is done so it will collapse into the dense, moist texture considered ideal in those parts. 
The Iowa cakemaker prides herself on her ability to make a light textured, high, almost feathery cake. The perfectionist doesn't use a mix except in an emergency or for everyday, and wouldn't dream of using any flour but cake flour. 
If it's been a while since you make a cake "from scratch" and you'd like to see if the touch is still with you, here is an elegant apricot cake. 
To frost it, add cooked apricots reserved from the cake recipe to your favorite seven minute frosting. 

Apricot Cake
1 cup (5 3/4 ounces) dried apricot halves
1 1/3 cups water
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon double acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking sida
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk 
2 eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
Boil apricots in water, uncovered 1 minute. Cool. Then drain, measuring apricot liquid. Finely chop half the apricots. Reserve the remaining half to chop for frosting. 
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and soda. 
Stir shortening just to soften. Add flour mixture. Add milk and stir until all flour is dampened. Then beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer, or  300 vigorous strokes by hand.. 
Add eggs, rind, chopped apricots and 2 tablespoons apricot liquid if you used butter or margarine, or 1/4 cup apricot liquid if you used vegetable shortening. Beat 1 minute longer in mixer or 150 strokes by hand. 
Pour batter into two inch 9 inch layer pans lined on the bottoms with paper. Bake in moderate oven, 375 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes, or until pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Frost with apricot seven minute frosting.

Conventional Sport Coat Best All- Occasion Casual 
Clothes Make Your Man 
By Harry Juster

Question: I went shopping with my husband for a sport coat as his old one is all shot. A cardigan jacket caught my eye and I wanted him to buy it, but he is afraid it won't stay in style long I would love to see him get this collarless coat - and think he will if you say so- Mrs. D. N.
Answer: I hate to disappoint you, but I can't see a cardigan as a man's one and only sport jacket. The conventional style is a better all occasion casual garment. It will go more places. Let him get this first. Then if you should surprise him with a collarless style later, it will be a smart addition to his wardrobe. 

Question: To say that I'm somewhat confused regarding what goes with what these days is to put it mildly. I bought a checked suit and always thought this called for solid color shirts. Yet some of the odd combinations I see fellows wearing leads me to wonder if there's any such thing as a basic rule - Al W
Answer: There definitely is - and that's not to combine competing patterns. That doesn't mean you can't go pattern on pattern. For instance, a small muted check or fine line stripe creates an interesting look. Conflict arises by pairing up equally strong patterns. Remember this and you won't wind up with those confusing combinations you observed.

Question: I'm 16 years old and have been invited to a semiformal dance. Would you please give me some ideas on what a boy should wear. Also, would it look out of place if I wore a flower in my lapel?
- M.B
Answer: The term "semi formal" is so confusing I'd like to see it retired! It supposedly means tuxedo wear, but often merely indicates a dress up affair, calling for a suit. The thing to do is check on this. My guess is it's the latter. If so, wear a dark suit, white shirt, neat tie, black shoes. And, by all means a lapel flower if you like. 

Question: The first time my father wore a new suit he bought. he asked us how we like the glen plaid pattern. I said it looked very nice, but wondered why it was called a glen plaid. Neither he, nor anyone else in the family knew. They suggested if I really wanted to know to write you. - Ronnie C
Answer: A glen plaid isn't a plaid; it's a check. The true name is Gelnurquhart check, after the district where it first appeared. About 1850 the Countess of Seafield in Britain chose this pattern as the uniform of her foresters, game keepers, etc. Eventually Glen plaid became the American term for this distinctive pattern.
