Suggestions For
Housewives

After washing cane chairs
wipe them over with a cloth
wrung out in rice water. This
forms a skin over the cane and
gives it a nice gloss.
Before laundering linen see
that all holes have been re-
paired otherwise they will be-
come larger in the wash
Custard will not curdle if it
is cooked at a moderate tenn
perature and stirred constantly.
A cheap and effective way to
heat an apartment during au-
tumn evenings is to place in
the crate a large piece of rock
salt, and pour over as much
paraffin as it will absorb. When
a light is applied the salt will
give off a glow sufficient to
warm the entire room.
When boiling a ham leave it in
the water in which it has beer
boiled until it is quite cold. This
makes 1t juicy and tender.

The little hat itself is just
enough different from the regu-
lation turban to be quite in
dividual, but not enough to be
difficult to wear. And its cost

the incest part-for it's less
than $40.
Color Contrast
We've prCved that velvet tur-
bans aren't standard at all in
shape-and we're going even
further. You'd scarcely even
suspect the little velvet model
Illustrated of being in the tur-
ban class. 1t has such a new
and distinctive air. 1t has
something else, besides, that's
of fashions pet ideas this sea-
son-three-color contrast. The
two shades that contrast with
the hat itself are in the ribbon
wound around the crown and
concentrated in the simulated
bow that's worn rather high on
the left side. All done with vel
vet ribbon-a startlingly effec-
tive combination of capucine
and green on black, though you
probably could have it in other
colors, too. You'll find that
head size won't matter as much
as usual, for the clever scanning
through the crown of this little
hat will shape it to almost any
head. So you can still buy one

Books FOR the
lone
By CONSTANCE CAMERON

Just as a school teacher can
at once the tell the degree Of
courtesy exercised in your home
by the simple process of listen
ing to your child talk, so can
she tell almost as quickly the
kind of books which line your
shelves. Your child'S choice of
subjects, his vocabulary, his
familiarity with books not usu-
ally associated with childhood
betray your own choice, and
HIS choice. Fortunate is the
youngster whose home possesses
a library wherein he may browse
without possibility of selecting
volume which may be a waste
of time to read, or worse.
But" you object, II pick
books feel suitable for my
child's shelf. What have MINE
to do with him?"
The answer is, "A great deal
more than you can realize un-
less you inquire and observe,
as I've made 1t a point to do
very recently, of WHAT chill
dren select Of their own free
will"
We can all choose good books
from the long list of those writ
ten for children, but the child
who doesn't have an oppor-
tunity to browse among books
for adults is like an infant who
is kept exclusively on milk when
he needs solid food.
It has been most amazing to
me to watch children whose
homes boast good libraries dis
regard a new work of fiction
for children and wad, diligently
and with interest through books
we should hastily consider
above" them, and also to note
that their choice lies largely in
the field of non-fiction.
The Washington times., 1931-11-12

Without expecting a bit of
argument, we can state our
opinion that a velvet hat is the
incest complement to a velvet
gown. Naturally, then, with
velvet costumes in big demand
for afternoon and informal
evening wear by fashionable
women everywhere, the shops
would be expected to have lots
of smart little velvet hats. It
should be very simple to find a
hat for any velvet dress-and
it is.
Reasons Enough
We know because we've been
out looking for just that thing.
Most Of the little velvet affairs
are small and close-fitting-in:
geniouSly draped in the most
becoming ways. Two reasons,
we've figured out, why they're
nearly all turbanlike in appear
ance. First, a turban suits more
women than any other hat
style. since the lines are de-
signed to adjust themselves to
different types of faces. Then.
a turban slips so snugly inside
the big fur collars on formal
coats. And besides, a carefully
draped turban always has a
formal air, whether it's worn
with or without a coat. That's
three reasons, isn't it? We
could give any number, but
you'll probably buy a velvet
turban just because it seems
the only hat you want for
your velvet dress. Then you'll
wear it, too, with other dresses!
Pride at It's Peak
Show us the formal costume,
for instance, that wouldn't look
up proudly to a. Lyons velvet
turban draped so simply yet
with such utter charm as the
model at the left above. That
eyeline dip peeps out pertly to
the right from underneath the
Shirring that continues all
around. (Shirring being very
smart you know, and very flat

Advice for
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX,

Football Alienates Affection
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been engaged five
months, and have spoken q
marrying my fiance. Lately he
has taken up football, and
claims he has to be in at 9
o'clock every night, I have
caught him in several fibs
since then, and friends have
told me he was seen in differ.
ent places. When I ask him.
he admits it's true, and that I
have the same privilege. He
claims he loves me and yet he
goes out with other girls. If
this goes on much longer I am
likely to do something desperate,
for I do things on the impulse
of a moment. What would you
advise me to do, go out with
other young men and forget
him, which I am afraid will be
impossible, or what? B. S.
Certainly, go out with other
boys, and girls, too. The more
the merrier. The idea of TAX
ing this youngster so seriously
as to talk of doing something
desperate is unworthy of you.
You're both too immature to be
engaged. Just regard him as q
pal and take engagement" as
casually as he does.

Really Individual
And now prepare to hear us
really rave. For we've illus
trated in the last sketch the
newest and most different-look-
ing velvet turban We came
across. Not so different be-
cause it has a veil-though
that's distinctly an individual
touch, and very smart just now.
Even more interesting is the
way this turban's made-and
what it's made of. Bands of
velvet ribbon form the pointed
draping - ribbon that's en-
cruSted with narrow strips Of
silk chenille closely stitched to-
gether. The crowns of plain
velvet, but joining those rib
bon bands above the forehead
on the left there's a tiny bit
of matching gaylac! We're
betting two to one you won't
find anywhere in town a velvet
turban you'd rather have-at
any price. This one-pleaSe
believe uS-is well under $40,
which ought to prove there's
no use in paying more.

In 1942-Barely ten years
from now-we shall have the
hundredth anniversary of surgi-
:al anaesthesia. In 1912 DR..
Crawford Long, of Athens, Ga,
gave ether to remove lump
from the neck of a woman
named, Mrs. Venable.
Before that only the most
grimly necessary surgical oper-
atoms were performed, and the
only mitigation from suffering
the patient got was from Whis-
key or brandy - neither of
which kept the poor victim
asleep during the terrific pain
of the mutilating parts of
surgical operation. y
Laughing Gas
Ether and chloroform and nj
trous oxide Laughing gas),
which were the three most pop
ular methods of anaesthesia
for many years, all are admin
iStered by inhaling their fumes
into the lungs. But other meth
DDS began to be used. Blocking
off the nerves and the path
ways of pain by local anaesthe-
STA is popular and can be uti-
liked in a large number of cases
virtually for all hernia and
many other abdominal opera
tions, even for goiter. Another
method is to deaden the sensi-
bility of the spinal cord by,
injecting substances into the
spinal canal.
The latest method is to inject
into a vein a substance which
puts the patient to sleep. The
most popular anaesthetic agent
of this type is sodium amytal.
It's uses is described in late
number of the American Mer-
curry by DR.. j. Shirley Sweeney.
Natural Sleep
The great advantage of the
method is that the patient goes
to sleep quietly and naturally.
There is not the terror induced
by the mask and the struggles
to get the breath. Indeed, it
can be given while one is in
ones own room in bed: after
sleep is induced the cart is
brought in and the patient

a wonderful secret
to one another

They are passing along the word that
they can get positive relief from periods
Of sharp pain, jumping nerves, and deep
depression. Each month they take a
harmless preparation that has been re-
sPected throughout the world for more
than a century.
Whenever the pain becomes acute,
they take two to four teaspoons of
Angostura, the prescription of an old
family doctor, in an equal quantity Of
sweetened hot water. 1t positively con-
taius no harmful ingredients. The effect
is immediate and satisfying. Twitching
nerves are soothed, the feeling of "pres-
sure" is relieved, the stomach gets a
sense of warmth and comfort, spirits
brighten, and life is, indeed, worth
while again. 1t does not fail.
Try this old-time medicine which
contains absolutely nothing bad for the
heart. Doctors everywhere prescribe it.
Garry small bottle to your work pre-
pared half and half with sweetened
water, and take whenever the pain is
bad. ANGOSTURA can be found at all

too slow for us: we jump at it,
