in Nancys opinion, should ever be purchased if 1t is shorter than that.
 In buying blankets Nancy weighed the advantages and disad- vantages of double versus single blankets.
 Single ones are easier to handle. easier to shake when taking them out on the airing porch.
 But single ones do not keep the feet as warm, since they may pull out at the foot of the bed.
 Nancy knew enough to buy her blankets from a reputable store. She chose all wool of a good brand. Half cotton and wool are heavy and not very warm. She was particu- lar to look at the binding. A cheap ribbon binding will shrink when blankets are washed and will wear out long before the blankets are discarded. Occasionally 1t pays, Nancy found, to rebind the blankets when purchased.

NANCY PAGE Winter Bedding Includes Blankets and Sheets
 By Florence Ta Ganke
By Florence T.a Ganke

Linen sheets are cool on . hot night. Cotton ones are fairly SO. But on a winter night they are both positively icy. Accordingly most housewives, like Lois and Nancy, used blankets on the bed.
 But that did not mean sheets were put away for the winter.
 Nancy liked to put a bottom sheet on the bed, tucking 1t under at top and bottom for full six inches. Then over this she put the blankets.
 And to protect the top of the blanket which came close to the sleeper, she usually spread a sheet over the blanket. Many women are doing this lately. They have used blanket protector strips and liked them, but the sheet is often- times preferable. It shows white through a semi-transparent spread.
 Of course, the sheet must be the full length. 10S inches. No sheet,

If you are in a romantic mood and want somebody else to get that way too, try a little eye shade the next evening you go out with him. There is no denying the come hither that bit of the right-col- ored eye-shade possesses.
 There are both powdered and cream eye shadow on the market. The latter Is by far the more effec- tive. The very use of some cream on the eyelids contributes some- thing. Add a little tone to 1t and your eyes suddenly grow luminous and you realize you never knew yourself how nice those gleamers werel
 The two newest eye shadow creams on the market have a touch of metallic gleam in them. It is a bit exotic to be sure. But used with restraint, very effective. One kind of eyelid cream has Q gold gleam to it. Another has Q silver. Let your coloring decide which fatters you most. Then pick the eye shade tone to com pletment your eyes coloring.
 If you have light brown or hazel eyes. a navy blue eye shadow is likely to be very good. If you are blonde, try deep green shad- ow. It sometimes Is positively be- witching. If you have a rich, deep tawny tan to your coloring. there Is a purple-brown eye shadow that is simply made for you.
 Once you have picked your col or, the way you apply 1t Is most important. It should be the last thing you put on, even after you finish rouging and powdering and touching up your lashes or eye hrows, if you do these last two.
 Take a tiny bit of the salve. and if your eyes are far apart, apply it in the middle of the eyelid and spread 1t toward the nose and out toward the temple. covering the eyelid. If your eyes are close to- gether, put the dab on the outside and spread it in, allowing the por- tion next your nose to get the least.
 Of all makeup eye shadow1ng can be done to show the least and do the most good. It Is one touch of makeup that clever women must never forget. But 1t should be done restrainedly and skillful- Iva. Nothing Is worse than eyes that look unnatural in their make up. They are positively gruesome and should be avoided.

Hollywood.-You can't help lik- ing and admiring her. Nor, at times, being irritated by her. And all because of one quality-inde- pendence.
 The girl we are speaking about is Constance Bennett, most success full of the Bennett tribe. Connie is by far the most independent person in Hollywood, your Chaplins and Carlos notwithstanding. In fact. her independence reaches such level that others around town used to gaze at her in amazement. Now they take this quality for granted and sometimes call her Thigh hat." Right now we would like to state that Connie is NOT "high hat" She has her faults just as everyone else does, but being snobbish isn't one of them. Her independence is to a great extent a mask with which she covers up her true easy-going self. Were she to reveal that side of herself to the movie racket, life would be made miserable for her. So she must be independent. And she can be simply because she really doesn't give a whoop whether or not she makes another picture. A million dollars went with her divorce from Phil Plant. And with a million dollars tucked safe ly away it's rather easy to do as you please.
 "I never intended to use my money as a club in Hollywood" Miss Bennett told me. "In fact never would have mentioned 1t. But it seems that I don't have to- others do 1t for me. Everyone here knew before arrived to make pie
