47 YEARS AGO IN WOMAN’S DAY Advice that still works

Use wallpaper in unconventional ways. For example, use it on a ceiling or on one wall. Try a wallpaper border to frame a mirror, or a group of windows, or the doors. Wallpaper a chest of drawers, or a bed headboard, or the backing of shelves on which you display a collection. SEPTEMBER 1966

Shopping smarts

If my daughters had their way, a trip to the mall would go something like this: I trail behind them at a 10-foot distance, never offer an opinion about their clothing choices, and generally stay silent until it’s time to pay. Alas for them, this never happens—I’m especially opinionated about clothes that are low-cut, too short or covered with sequins.

Something else they can depend on: I’ll never pay full price. We go to the mall armed with coupons and a strict agenda— I allot a specific amount of time (say, an hour and a half), pick the stores we’re going to visit based on who’s having a sale, and get in and out quickly. My strategy limits aimless wandering, which leads to aimless purchases (like sparkly $50 T-shirts).

This month, as back-to-school shopping kicks into high gear, I’m also going to use the tips in our fall shopping guide (page 131) to find even better deals. We also have some great ideas on how to save all season long from savvy readers like Jennifer Buddin of Charleston, SC, who reminded me it’s time to switch the direction of my ceiling fan to reduce home energy costs.

Also, don’t miss our story about Ruth Moore (page 34). The survivor of a sexual assault when she was a 17-year-old Navy recruit, Ruth fought for decades to get the benefits that she—and other survivors—deserved. As we were reporting this story, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Ruth Moore Act, a step toward ensuring that women n vets who have been assaulted face an easier path to benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. I hope she’ll inspire you as much as she inspired us. Our hero, Ruth Moore
