 Beauty columnists and group of coiffure experts have at last banded together to sponsor a movement to create haid styles that will be flatering with hats. Already some steps have been talk en and by January, when hat man. ufacturers launch their spring lines there will be available to everyone, definite information and pictures about cultures to go with the new models.
 The coiffure people know there will be fewer disappointed GUS toners. After all, nothing is worse than to get wearing your hair in a new and extremely fiattering man. ner only to discover that it looks perfectly horrible under. a partic- ular hat that you very much want to own.
 Then, too. there'll be greater versatility in hair styles. A girl won't want to wear the same kind of coiffure month in and month out. She'll know how to fix her hair several different ways-one to suit each hat in her wardrobe. r To prove what an important movement this is, we show a pic- tdre of a coiffure, designed es- pecially to go with the popular Russian hats. The hair is cut pom- pador-fashion, without part. Then it is waved backward from the forehead with the center of the first wave falling directly over the top of the ear. The ends are curled into tiny ringlets that are brushed out later to form a cas- cade effect. Combining dash and coiffure on which to poise smart Russian turban of white fur.

HY YOUR CHILDREN Dy Olive Roberts Barton ; .-. :. 6155 K N{A 3faNce, N5G

 FROM DISAPPOINTMENT
By Olive Roberts Barton

By Olive Roberts Barton
 Strange how children's minds work. If parents knew the inn pressions they get from the merest trifles they would be amazed.
 One item of interest is the fact good thing his heart craves, but let him be disappointed in one small matter and that is the thing he will be likely to remember all his life perhaps.
 Which puts us parents in a nice hole, to say the least.
 But, being as it is, there must be something we can do about it. We don't want our children, for whom we have worked and sacri- feed and whom we have tried so hard to please, to look back into childhood and remember only the unpleasant things. Of course, child's reaction to small disciplines and disappointments will depend on his disposition. The more "emo- tionar' he is (let us call it sensi- tive), the greater will be his brood- ing whether he shows it or not at the time.
 Pick Out Things Vital to Child.
 We might study the things that are vital to the child, silly though they seem to us, and forget about a few of the big blessings that we think he should appreciate just because they satisfy us.
 It is hard to name even a few of the thousand notions he may have about his own happiness. Sometimes it is a possession he craves, sometimes privilege. It might be five-cent toy he wants. or permission to peed downstairs at the grown-ups' party. It might be that we've outfitted him with a handsome winter ensemble. but said "no" when he asked for some doohickus all the boys are getting that we considered foolish and un- necessary.
 Contrast in Viewpoints.
 Possessing fifty dollars worth of new clothes, he may, as likely as not, feel so bitterly disappoint- ed about the pitney trifle as to for- get all about the clothes and cry himself to sleep. The one was vital to us, the other to him.
 Fifteen years later he may re- mlnQ us OIl6 llllS udyS oASOA WV AAtt done without a new coat in order to pay the last forty dollars on his tuition, that when he was little he never got anything. Remind him of the way he was dressed, the places we took him, the shows ne saw, the grand room he had, the expensive hobby horse and bicycles and toys and what not, and he IS apt, to say, '.I know had g lo:. But I never got what wanted.' And he will tell us all about the doohickus, or the special book strap, or the time he wanted cho- colate cookies on the hike and we made him take gingersnaps.
 Make Some Concessions. < We pound our memory. It is all gone. The things we remember are the things that thrilled us more especially than him.
 We think him as ingrate to for- get, but he cannot help it.
 One cannot humor every whim of childhood, but to know, these things gives us a certain lead, think. We might once in while make concessions to the child's own ideas of real satisfaction. , Copyright 1884, NEA Service. Incl

PARIS STYLES
By MARv KNIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris-(UP)-It's funny how the French feel about stock ings. They think American ideas about the color of hose are too dark. No smart Parisienne would wear stockings in as deep shades as chic American women seem to prefer them.
 For all times of day and for evening, French hosiery is def- initely on the light side; pale beiges, greiges, silvers and golds very few gunmetals or oranges or any of their near approaches.
 French women are beginning stocking to the shiny finish they have sponsored previously, al- versally accepted. Grays, in the light pearls, doves and states are pouplar, and in browns, nothing deeper than a damp sand color is consirered within the pale of Parisian preference. For formal evening, a stocking in flesh-peach is prevalent or dancing limbs and more staid pedal extremities usually select sornething with the suggestion ot silver about it, but never a deep nor excessively dull tone.
 TODAY'S FASHION TIP
 The chic Parisienne prefers her hosiery lighter than the smart American.

causes constant pain, and the pain increases when I am on my feet long (Mrs. L. A. -H.)
 Answer-When patients say the vein "burst" they mean 1t became dilated, enlarged, not that there was a rupture and bleeding. That never happens. When they say the leg is not "open" they mean there is no raw surface, no ulcer. Ulcer is common as a consequence of varicose vein. The remedy in such case is obliteration of the vein by chemical injection, which any good doctor can do. In any case of varicose vein, with or without varicose ulcer, the patient should endeavor to lie down for a minute every hour and raise the legs to vertical and gently exercise toes and feet as though juggling an inn aginarl balloon.

NEW COSTUMES ARE COLORFUL AS RAINBOW

Instead of the old two-color idea, couturiers are showing out fits that include three, four and even five shades. One famous American designer makes a hand some three-piece suit of dark blue skirt, bright red jersey blouse, pale blue, hiplength jacket and top coat of tweed in subtle tones of gray, blue and red. Another cos tune has pale gold woolen dress. brown swagger coat and huge silk scarf of vivid blue silk. The hat to wear with it is blue, too, and is trimmed with bright quill in red and gold.

"A living room should first of all be comfortable" MT Fletcher declares. Tt should not only look lived-in but should BE lived in. There must be plenty of comfort tble chairs for people of all sizes and heights. And especially there should be some rather small but comfortable chairs that can be moved easily into the various groupings for conversation that every living room should make possible.
 "Fo rinstance, in this particu- lar room, at least three groupings are possible; one around the fire place, another in the center of the room. with the sofa and the love seat, and a third around the desk. Nearby chairs of light propor- tions may be turned and added to, any of these groups.
 There also should be plenty of small tables for cups, glasses and cigarets, and bigger tables

He nianifests this inferiority feeling either by shyness or by misbehav- yior by which he can show his sl-i periority or by egotism which $ always an effort to hide ones feel- ing of inferiority. It is also bad for the other children, because children are usually perfectly bru-. tai in taking advantage of the weaknesses of others. We were all that way as children.

The Washington times., 1934-10-17

Glossy, canary yellow walls, with
a floor of deeper yellow, and
sophisticated black trim make a
room perpetually warm and spring
like-reminiscent of a gold-finch
and sunshine. Such a room might
be skillfully designed in peasant
fashion-war reds, earthly browns,
and soft graz tones which furnish
a typical background by FURNISHED
copper pots and heirloom kettles.
Modern Design
Suppose the sun beats merci-
lessly into ones kitchen where
the heat is already repellant to
its occupant. There are jewel
like blues to cool the atmosphere.
Turquoise as chill and regal as
the stone for which it is named;
delf blues, crisp and clean as the
Holland folk themselves. Green
tones, likewise, fall into this cate
CORY. There are tiles obtainable
in a frothy Seagreen. When these
are combined with woodwork and
trim of soft peach the effect is
so delicate and subtle as to recall
Ming porcelains.
In answer to the rapidly rising
demand for "moderne" decora-
ton, a particularly striking
The Washington times., 1934-10-17

kitchen could be designed in jet
black. The walls would be COM
posed of alternate glossy and
dull tiles-at once rejecting and
absorbing the light rays.
In conjunction with this severe
and effective background, cabi-
nets of rich ivory are used. One
can visualize the remarkable eff
feet gained by draping the
kitchen windows with straight
hanging curtains of ivory glazed
chintz edged with dull black bah
fringe, and festooning the sill
with a tiny, white pot of cactus
and smoke-plants.
Surrounded by the perfection
of her console range, mechanical
refrigerator, stainless cooking
utensils, and faultlessly beautiful
thing, the modern matron may
hum as she works. Every item
has been designed for her con-
venience. And there is that ad.
ditional and paramount joy she
experiences as she observes her
tiles-decades may pass and their
loneliness is undimmed, no re-
newing, no additional eXpendi-
lures for repairing.
The Washington times., 1934-10-17

tile was confined to bathrooms in
our country. Gradually it's use was
extended to solariumS where it
made the perfect background for
aquariums and potted plants.
If colored tiles could bring so
much loneliness to baths and sun
porches, why not introduce them
into the hitherto homely and op'
preSsive kitchens? There the
housewife spent many an hour at
her hardest tasks. So thought
our modern woman and today her
dream has found realization in
kitchens so rich in color and so
perfectly equipped that she cannot
resist bringing her choicest guests
into her haven of labor. Even the
simplest bungalow of today boasts
kitchen which shows utmost
care in designing to fill the cur
rent demand for efficiency, SAM
tation, and beauty.
Tile Wall Ideal
Tiled walls and floors are ideally
suited to such demands. The
smooth surfaces offer no harbor-
ing places for dangerous bacteria
A stroke of a damp cloth removes
any stain and they are imperious
to the action of fruit acids or
caustic soapsuds which frequently
splatter the kitchen walls, re-
gardless of the workers care. She
is never encountered with dread of
spelling her lovely surroundings;
for her tiles can be cleaned and
freshened as easily as her cups
and saucers.
Skillful manufacturers supply
tile in every shape and color-de
signed to fit every taste and de-
mand. A small kitchen situated
with a dreary northern exposure
need present no problem to the
homebuilder.

Building.
The store front has been in
stalled as an example Of modern
store design, and not only includes
proper show window lighting, but
demonstrates also the advantages
of considering store front lighting
in the original planning of COM
mercial buildings.
This store front is the last word
in modern lighting and design.
The window glass is installed at
a slight angle, rather than being
perpendicular, in order to reduce
reflection from buildings across
the street. Illuminated signs, in
stead of projecting from the build
ing, have been built into the
architectural design.

TILES ENHANCE

BEAUTY

The huge, uninspired kitchen
in which grandmother and the
"hired girl" labored is a far
call from that gem Of beauty
and efficiency which is the
kitchen of the modern dwelling.
In a day when labor could be
obtained at minimum cost, those
dreary rooms with their cumber-
some coal ranges and zinc sinks
served their purpose well enough.

parlors and dining rooms-never
exposed to the mechanics of food
preparation and service.
Today. the mistress Of the
house is educated in dietetics;
she is a brisk, efficient individual
whose education makes her as
meticulous as a trained nurse,
vet as artistic as a Partisan
designer. She takes pride in her
housekeeping and her ability to
create wholesome, delicious meals
with small expenditures. She
works hard and is happy In
acknowledging it.
Kitchen Changes
No part of modern housekeep-
ing bespeaks the change in affairs
so acutely as does our up-to-date
kitchen. 1t has all the sanitary
attributes of a hospital combined
with beauty, so important to the
woman who does her own work:
Likewise there is need OF
efficient arrangement to tighten
the task of food preparation and
absolute cleanliness.
For centuries, Dutch mothers
enjoyed the privilege of tiled
kitchens. No other race exempll-
fies the demand for cleanliness
so we'll as those sturdy Hollanders.
Their mate love of beauty gained
expression through the medium
of those colorful tiles.
