The three pictures
shown here
by Pat Swartos
display
the versatility
of her painting.
Pat started this
interesting hobby
two years ago.
Sketching Led To Interest In Painting
• Although she has sketched as
far back as she ran remember,
Pat Swartos had never tritt
painting until two years ago. In
college, art was her minor, but
the subjects did not include either
oil or water painting.
Shortly after Pat and her hus-
band, Jerry, moved to Shelton
a little over two years ago she
decided to sign up for painting
lessons. Extremely satisfied with
her first attempt, Pat also start-
ed taking portrait lessons.
When she first began painting
she used much detail but recent-
ly Pat has linen doing the tyI)e
of picture that is not detailed.
She has become acquainted with
the palelte knife and especially
enjoys that technique.
Vivid colors are typical of most
of her pictures. She is particu-
larly fond of shades of orange,
hut has painted some striking
pictures us!ng other colors l)VC-
dora ins tely.
A portrait of her son, Terry,
now four years old, is easily
:i:: : :
identifiable and she is planning
to do another of him.
Pal has shown her pictures
at the Catholic Art Show and
had the window at Mann Realty
during January. She has sold
several of her paintings.
Her artistic talent was recent-
ly put to use by the Jaycees.
They made toy chests for the
Robers School and Pat decora-
ted them with pictures of animals
and toys. Her collection of pic-
tures also includes some paint-
ings she has done for children's
rooms.
Since she moved to Shelton Pat
has been active in the Shelton
Jayettes. She recently joined the
Adult Art Group and Epsilon
Omicron Chapter of Beta Sigma
Phi. She also bowls and sells
Avon.
In addition to painting, Pat
lists gardening, sewing and cook-
ing, along with music and sports
as her main interests.

-R. J., Princelon, N. J.
Dear R. J.:
Instead of arguing wifll your
husband, try re-educating him.
He ¢,n't Xl)C¢'rI a vital, energetic
woman It:) sit at home doing
nolhitlg when her wllole outlook
on life can benefit from being
a l)roductiv(, member of society.
A noted clergyman recently said
it beautifully: "Of course (wo-
man) belongs in the home, but
so does he.,usband, and neither
of them belt)nhere exclusive-
ly." "%
Dear Margaret :
I brought ut) four chihh'en and
I think I did a pretty good job.
My house was neat arid clean,
meals were servcd on lime. and
everyone seemed happy. I c,'m'i
understand my daughter. She on-
ly has two little ones and yet
her home is chaotic every time
I visit. I offer to help, but she
always says no. My husband
passed away last year and I
have plenty of time to give. Why
won't she accept my offer?
Time on my Hands, D)uisville
Dear Time on my llands:
Your feelings are completely
understandable, hut perhaps if
you think back to your own days
as a young housewife it will help
you accet)t your (laughter's at-
titude toward your offers of help.
Remember when you wanted to
bc ltfl ah)nc to run your home
your own way? Your daughter
n]igtlt tilipr,ciale an offer from
you it) take the children on an
occasion;d excursion. Bul if she
says 'no,' don't feel too badly.
In time, she muy change he/"
mind. Meanwhile, since you do
luve lime oil your hands, antl
you evidently have a Iot of en-
ergy, why not lok for some
other ways Io be of service?
There are lots of organizations
that would welcome homemaking
and ,thlld-raising skills. Or, if
volunteer work doesn't appeal to
you. perhaps you would be inter-
cstcd in a paying job. Some wo-
men in your cireumstanee. have
found their answers in continu-
ing the'r education or training
for other kinds of work. At this
stage of your life yo'J ilave to
explore the various choices and
decide in which direction you
want your life to proceed.
Dear Miss Brookfleld:
I am 42 ycars old and con-
sidered quite attractive. I have
a well-paying, responsible Job
that I've always enjoyed. In the
past I've had many dates and
been very popular, and even
though I haven't met a man I
would like to marry, I have had
some close relationships with
men. But recently I've been hav-
ing the feeling that, frankly, I'm
over the hill. Men who used to
give me the once-owr are begin-
ning (o ignore me. I know that
I don't really need to have men
looking lt me, but it worries me
when I think about the future.
If my lot)ks and attractiveness to
men fade, what chance will I
have to get married?
-Despondent, St. Paul
Dear Despondent:
While statistics show that
younger women do have the
greatest chances for marriage,
reaching the age of 42 does not
me:m you are doomed. Today
women your age are mothers,
teachers, business executives anti
movie stars. There is no real
reason why you should lose your
attractiveness if you take care
of yourself. With modern ad-
vances in medical science there
is no need for the woman enter-
ing her second 40 years to feel
that her life is over. Today's
knowledge of medicine, diet, nu-
trition and hormone replacement
therapy has helped keep women
more attractive, vital, slimmer
and better stacked than 42-year-
olds were In your mother's day.
Along with that, you've also
got more help from the cosmetic
industry than women ever had
before. It may be flattering to
Tet that once-over as you walk
down the street, but much more
importcnt is the way a man
looks at you when you're with
him.
Have you a problem as a ma-
ture woman, or with one? For
answers In the column wirte to

TEEN BEAUTY ROUTINE
i Q. My teenage daughter con-
aiders everyday grooming bor-
ing. Can you suggest a fast,
efficient beauty routine for her
to follow?
A. A quick shower in the
morning, followed by the ap-
plication of a deodorant,
should be enough to keep your
teenager clean and fresh
throughout the day.
If she tends to get facial
blemishes, it would be advis-
able for her to ae a correc-
tive lotion or gel under her
makeup.
Young faces seldom need more
in the way of makeup tha a
little pressed powder and ltp-
atick. An eyebrow brush
will
help to keep too-bushy eye.
