Obey Orders

For all of these reasons a
mother should welcome her doc
tors watchfulnesS over her ply
steal rehabilitation. She should
cooperate by obeying his orders,
after her baby arrives, as we'll
as before. She should allow him
to examine her as often as he
thinks necessary.
After a normal birth a healthy
W o m a n u tomarily requires
about three months before her
recuperation is complete. At
the end of the fourth or sixth
week she should permit her
physician to make a thorough
examination of the pelvic
organs to make sure that all is
we'll.
The reason why no woman,
however poor, can afford to dis
pense with this supervision is
that if anything is wrong the
trouble can be detected and cor
rected more easily then than
later. AS so often, in matters
of health, a stitch in time saves
nine. One explanation of why
so many women in the past
sank almost into invahdism in
middle life is probably because
the medical attention which
they should have received after
the births of their children was
omitted.

Planning the Garden

practically take care Of them
selves make them very popular.
Usually there aren't enough to
satisfy the demand. So if you
want some, you'd best order
them right away. But for the
actual planting, wait till you've
had three successive nights with
a temperature of go degrees or
more. This usually means about
the first or second week in
June. Don't confuse the tropi-
cal variety with the hardy water
lily planted in April and the
lotus planted in MayO
If you haven't a lily pool,
you'll find it easy to build a
broad, shallow pool placed where
the sun is hottest. For tropi-
cal water lilies, put just q few
inches of rich soil into the pool.
You can get it from your plant
dealer.
Then put in your lily plants,
cover them with few inches OF
water-and you're set for the
summer! No cultivation nceded.
No wedding needed. Just a pail
of water now and then (to
make up what evaporates) and
soon therell be handsome bios
SONS over the whole surface Of
the pool! Remember that the
tropical variety likes plenty Of
surface space over which to
spread, but requires only enough
depth to float its magnificent
leaves.

Strong Color Used

The Brides House is not
afraid of strong color. The liv-
ing room features warm green,
wood browns and touches Of
pomegranate red. The brides
bedroom has bright yellow walls,
and the guest room is carried
out in a lovely clear coral. In
the library deep blues and a
purpliSh red are dominant tones
and the dining room accents its
solid gray walls with bold
touches of brilliant fuchSia, also
an inlaid linoleum on the floor
in bold geometric stripes. Yet
each room leads logically and
tremendously to the next, with
out confusion of ideas.
Novel wall treatments are in
PRODUCED in each room. In the
living room scenic wallpaper,
wood paneling, and mirrors are
featured. In the brides room,
bands Of plaid wallpaper in
shades of brown and yellow are
used at the top and bottom. A
composition wall board is laid
on in decorative panels in one
hall and in the library fabric
leather covers the walls. In the
closets, quilting and wallpaper
are used effectively, and in the
bath, dressing room, and kitch-
en-, colored glass. Fabrics,
too, are varied, formal silks
and taffetas, crisp organizes,
ties of mohair in printed or
furry surfaces.

Brush Hair
Properly
BY JULIET SHELBY

One beauty lesson that can
not be learned too early in life
is that of correct hygiene Of
scalp and hair. And the wise
mother or guardian should
teach the little girl of the
household how to keep her hair
in shining perfection.
This valuable habit acquired
during formative years will as.
sure a healthy scalp and lus-
trous hair beauty all her life.
In Chicago hair culture for
children has been so earnestly
undertaken that a leading de-
partment store has established
a Riddles brushing bar"
With hippity-hop. a skip

tantes of that city go for the
Saturday morning brushing les
son.
If your child cannot go to a
brushing bar, she can at least
learn the A B c of hair cul-
ture in her own home. For at
my request a LEADING hair ex-
pert has written a leaflet for
children. in simple language,
instructing them how to brush
their hair scientifically and
how to keep their scalps clean
and healthy.
This leaflet can be obtained
only with the special children's
brush which has been chosen
for the brushing bar.
So terribly important is daily
brushing to hair BEAUTY that
younger stars of Hollywood
are instructed to brush their
hair one hundred strokes
a day. Talented Helen Parrish,
fascinating young star of RKO,
has already reaped results from
this excellent habit.
Little Miss Parrish's lovely
head Of hair has earned her
prominent roles in moving pic
lures. When you see Dog of
Flanders" Helen's latest pic
ture, notice the bewitching
charm her hair gives to her
friendly little face. Constant
care has created this for her.
Dear Mrs. M. A. H.:
I am glad you find the column
helpful and am happy to send
the information you requested.
It is not at all unusual for
superfluous hair to become
thicker and more noticeable as
a person becomes more mature.
I do not believe that this means
that there is anything wrong
with your thyroid gland. If
this were the case it would mani
fest itself with other symptoms.

remove the hair is by electrol-

NelU Arrangements

The arrangement of the fur.
niture is new and arreSting. In
the formal living room are
groups of two and four pieces.
The library is informal with
furniture casually placed so
that one may sit around the
fireplace or in the book-lined
inches or by the piano. The
dining room is uncluttered, SIM
pie and practical but very Strik-
ing. The bedrooms achieve
comfort, but they also reveal
delightful color combinations,
unique curtain treatments and
new ideas on combining furni-
ture. The kitchen is a miracle
of modern efficiency. Stove,
cupboardS, refrigerator and sink
are close and compact. The
walls are white and black glass
and metal, and the cabinets are
lined with a joyful red which

bathroom is a delight with its

tub, its indirect lighting, built
in shelves, glass walls and limo

Newcomer
Is Lonely
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am a trained nurse, but
as have only a European
diploma, and nursing being
hard to get, I put my pride
in my pocket and took a job
as cook-nursemaid.
Now my problem is this: A
domestic servant seems to be
branded as a social outcaSt to
everyone, except other servants.
That's not bitterness talking,
but long and sad experience.
I myself am the friendliest
person in the world and have
a great desire to make friends.
How can I go about finding
companionship in this city of
Washington? LONELY.
Wouldn't it be well to take
the necessary examinations
which would enable you to be-
come a registered nurse in this
city? That would not be diff
cult for one who has a Eu-
ropean diploma.
There is a Scotch society here
the name of which escapes me
for the moment. I have known
several delightful girls who be-
long to it. You would certainly
be welcome. They have very
good times socially.
Find out what activities for
young people are going forward
in your church, and sign up for
them. One dollar a year will
enable you to belong to the
Y.W.C.A., which has a full so
cial program.

ysis. If you are planning to
have these treatments I would
advise you to ask your family
physician the name of a reliable
operator in Washington.
1t is difficult to say exactly
what the complete treatment
would cost but most operators
charge from S. to $40 an hour.
Cold cream will not encour-
age the growth of hair on the
face. Very sincerely yours,

Brides Will Be Interested
In Decoration and
Furnishing Ideas
By WILMA LAv1LLE

An event of Importance to 1855 crop Of million brides
is the opening Of the Brides House. which House Beautiful
Magazine built and sponsored to show todays brides all
the decorating and furnishing ideas designed for smart
home life. Pronounced colors and period out
standing features.
Although this house is not shown locally do not hest
tate print pictures of it, because the furniture is the type
that can bought in almost any local store and there

descrintion of the house.

do likewise. But such women in
some ways lead a less normal
life than Indian Squaws and
have to contend with more
artificial conditions.
Furthermore, medical mission
aries always find a great deal
of illness and suffering among
so-called primitive mothers,
which medical science could
avert. They are by no means
models of physical health and
vigor. and they age far more
quickly than the women you and
I know.
The best rule for any woman,
whatever her status in life, is
always to keep in touch with a
doctor after she has become
mother. Our bodies are not
static. They change for better
or worse, and the quicker the
diagnosis of anything wrong,
the quicker the treatment and
the likelier the cure.

"Shrinkage" is one process
which literally takes place in
certain maternal organs after
the baby is born-a quite con-
siderable shrinkage. There are
numerous muscles, too, which

time of the birth tears Qacera-

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Does a woman remove her
wedding ring after the death
of her husband? After five
years, do you think it proper
to remove my ring? 1 am
going about a great deal with
a man friend. Do you think,
therefore, it is proper to remove
my wedding ring? B.
A widow usually wears her
wedding ring until she decides
to marry again. There is no
definite time during which she
wears it. And if, for any per-
sonal reason, she does not wish
to wear it, she does not need
to. It is all a question of her
personal choice and her per-
Sonal reaction.

2 cups buttermilk
/ teaspoon baking soda QeveD
l teaspoon salt
6 ounces lard
l teaspoon baking powder
(heaping)
Work all this in a mixing
bowl with your hands as you
would any ordinary dough, and
gradually add as much pastry

in bit by bit to the consistency
of a tea biscuit dough.
Roll out the dough one inch
thick and cut out small round
pieces the size of a quarter.
Basic the biscuits with a little
melted butter or eggwash before
baking. Have a preparation
made of creamed Roquefort

It's too late now to make a
point of writing to express your
thanks for this hospitality, for
writing him now would call his
attention even more definitely

might bring the conversation
around to the party, and tell
him what a good time you had
