WHAT TO WRITE

UGaE MIS- DCCAuA1N0
"Will you please tell me what
to write to a lady who is in the
hospital after a serious opera
ton? I have known her for
some time, but / am just a
schoolgirl, and I hardly know
what to write that would be
appropriate. ROBERTA"
Your note might be worded
like this:
''Dear Mrs. BrOwnSOn:
II do so much want you to
know how very much you have
been in my thoughts during
these days in which you have
been in the hospital, and I want
to send you my very dearest
wishes that your improvement
will be very complete and
speedy. I was so sorry to hear
that you had to go through
such a serious operation, but 1
am relieved that it is all over
and that you are now success
fully convaIescing. Our prayers
are with you, and our friend
lieSt wishes.

Optimist.

Rough and Level Ground
She never showed her WEAKNESS
Nor did her courage Wane;
Her look was like a lifted flag,
Her voice was hopes refrain.
She let no longings conquer her;
But always took with pride
The sweet things with the bit"
ter things
That life will not divide.
For she was wise enough to
know
Since Earth was first begun
The kind and cruel, side by side,
Through beings tide has run.
The things of dread, the things
Of dream
She took with equal grace,
And some still light more deep
than JOY
Was shining on her face.
The sweet and bitter come to all
And with a faith profound
She took them as runner takes
The rough and level ground.

Beauty
Prevent Decay
Of Teeth
BY JULIET SHELBY

Sally Eilers uses daily at least
five toothbrushes of various
sizes, along with a paste, a
powder and a mouth wash.
What's more, she has her teeth
cleaned and examined every
four months.
Is it any wonder then that
her beautiful teeth and smile
are worth thousands Of dollars
yearly to the Columbia studios?
It's so easy to neglect our
teeth. It really doesn't matter
whether we are in our teens or
our forties: the dentist Is about
the last person we want to
make a date with, and brushing
our teeth several times a day is
pretty much of a nuisance.
And so, very frequently, we find
we have to have long sessions
with a dentist, and the first Of
the month brings q bill that
Staggers us.
In speaking to an excellent
dentist recently. I asked him
this question:
"What Is the best precautiOn
o woman can take against
tooth decay"
"There are two," he answered,
(which we definitely know to
help in prevention Of decay. The
daily brushing Of the teeth with
a powder, paste or lOt:e4-; and
the nightly use Of dental floss.

Breast Milk Best

True, he practically lives on
milk, and his mother should be
able to provide the perfect food
supply. Unfortunately, there
are too many mothers who can
not or will not nurse their ba-
bies. Some women make every
effort, but are physically unable
to perform their duty-for duty
it is.
Others fool themselves into
believing that they cannot pro-
vide milk, or deliberately and
Enthusiastically put their own con-
venience first and jeopardize
the welfare of their little ones.
Then begins the search for
the proper food formula, and
there may be an anxious time
before it is found.
Babies deprived of mothers
milk sometimes come close to
dying of starvation before the
substitute is found which agrees
with their individual constitu.
ton.
This is why doctors never are
tired of repeating that the
mother who can nurse her baby
and refuses to do so is making
a grave mistake. AS somebody
has said, the logical name for
breast milk is babies milk"
since it always belongs to some
baby and nobody has the right
to take it away from him.
The Washington times., 1935-05-15

the baby getting the last call
to the diner would have been
ready to bite her nurse!
They had their second break
fast at 8 o'clock-a whole egg
apiece, cooked for five minutes
in water that had been boiling
but under which the flame had
been turned out. When an egg
is cooked in this fashion the
white stays soft instead of be-
coming too tough to digest
easily.
The egg never hurt the
babies, and gave them their
proteins. Also, even with milk
and arrowroot biscuit crumbled
in warm water, the meal was
not bulky enough to fill them
up so that they did not want
a hearty dinner.
The Washington times., 1935-05-15
No Trimming

If there's a rule, it's small
hats with tailored clothes, wider
brims with those not quite so
tailored, but you will find them
mixed a little, not conforming
to any set scheme. Occasionally
a felt will have a small bunch
of flowers or other trimming,
but for the most part trimming
is considered too fussy, TOO
dressy. and a plain grosgraln
band is sufficient.
The hats photographed on
this page are a grand example
of what you can do with q sim
ple felt, All three girls have
on hats Just alike, except that
they are wearing them differ"
emily. One is turned down in
front, regular sports fashion:
The center hat is worn well
back, and turned up slightly IN
front. The hat on the right is
turned UP all around, like a
BRETON sailor.
The Washington times., 1935-05-15
Unusual Pattern

All the hats are of twill felt
which is a smart new type, cut
into a twill surface on top. The
twills make a beautiful pattern
and distinguish the hats from
plain felt. in other words, it's
quite positive that you have on
o new hat if yours is twill telt.
These twill felts are in Whlte'
pastels or vivid colors (wh1te'
yellow and red are photo
graphed) and are but $685..
The whites are beautiful, and
you can vary one hat by wear
ing it with bands of different
colors.
Don't forget that your hat
makes great difference in your
accessory ensembles, and be sure
you have enough hats to not
only have variety, but to match
up everything correctly.
