(United Press Stan Correspondent Paris (UP)-Cotton evening gowns are holding their own and are, particularly popular for resort wear. Fashion notes from Vichy, the noted French spa, tell of a gala evening when ecile Sorel. cele- brated Parisian actress. appeared in a performance of "The Adven- turess" and numerous striking cot ton evening gowns were noted in the chic audience.
 One interesting dress had a full skitr of black and white ere tonne, amusing printed in fruit. kower and bird design. The basque bodice was of nasturtium colored velvet, high at the throat in front, but lowk in back. The color tone of the fitted corsage of crushed velvet was repeated in an intricate flower bracelet and in a pair of flower earrings which were replicas of the bracelet.
 Heavy cotton brocade is another favorite material for evening gowns. Noted at the same perform ance at Vichy was one printed in flower tones with bright green pre- dominating. 4 wide sash of crushed green velvet was tied In a large bow at the back of the low decol- lete tand the same green velvet made a bandeau-iike turban for the head.
 It Is to be noted that cotton prints. chintz and cretonne everi- ing gowns are almost Invariably combined with velvet of the cut- standing color in the print.

THE SCAR LEFT BY OPERATION

| OfEdal1ON
 Blindly following the lead of the Jour. of the American Medical As sociation which is used to promote the editor and his friends, many unsophisticated doctors have taken 1t as true that electrocoagulation (diathermy) of the tonsils leaves too much scar which is likely to cover up infection and cause trou- ble in future.
 Some such thing may have hap pened in certain cases. Unfortun- ately many throat specialists have attempted to employ this method without having received proper clinical instruction by a master of the method, and inevitably their work has been bungled. It is hard ly fair to condemn method be- cause amateurs have done harm with it. The Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association was and is clearly prejudiced upon this question. The brilliant editor, himself without knowledge or ex- lperience to speak of, undertook to decide the policy and view of the organized profession in the early daysof diathermy. I was advocat- ing 1t to my readers, and that was the A. M. A. loud speakers cue to condemn 1t. Now he can't change his attitude too suddenly, you see, so the dumb doctors in the sticks. inartieulate in the oligarchy, still think the newfangled method is dangerous" or doesn't get all the tonsil'' or "causes dense scar which covers over the focus of infection" I can assure, readers that the diathermy method of eXtirpatine tonsils and adenoids is not more likely to leave excessive or trouble. some scar tissue than is the ol6 Spanish custom, the guillotine ant snare, or dissection. I challenge any physician, surgeon or special ist to controvert this statement I'll produce a case of vicious sea formation following standard sur gical removal of tonsils for ever! case of that sort the brass boy ton or diathrmy extirpation of thu tonsils. For that matter, I'll un dertake to produce official report of fatalities following or in thu course of the standard surgical ton sillectomy for every case of evei unsatisfactory results from dia thermy-all from the practice o good reputable specialists.
 I ask no pardon for dwelling or the scandalously high mortality O surgical tonsillectomy in the hand of the best physicians, surgeons ol specialists in the country. We ar' yet to hear of a fatality from dia thermy extirpation of the tonsils.
 Remember. warn you agains the amateurs and the bungler who purport to use the moderr method. Most of them are more ol less shady. near-doctors, or with out standing, on the fringes of thu profession, but some of them art nose and throat specialists of thu best standing. Here approve ant commend the method, not the maI who uses it. If know of { physician in your vicinity who ii competent I am always glad tt name him, by private letter. Bu so many good doctors now us' diathermy for extirpation of ton sils and adenoids that have giv en up trying to keep list of then all. feel that diathermy or cleo ro-coagulation is now firmly es tablished in American practice

and thearea to be lighted Is some distance from the house, portable garden lamps may be 6sed. All out door fixtures should be made of durable weather-resistant. materials.
 It is quite necessary to place the lights high enough Ca minimum of seven or eight feet) to prevent glare and avoid the annoyance or flying bugs who collect around the light source. If the area to be lighted is near the house, light enclosed within a suitable reflector may be mounted as high as possible so that the light may be directed nearly straight down, thus elimin- ating excessive glare.
 A light placed beneath the gar den umbrella, the canopy of the lawn swing, or canvas awning will prove very effective if light-colored canvas is selected. Light reflected from canvas is mellow and free from glare. Dark1colored canvas absorbs light.
 Several lighting units of small watage will be found more desir- able than one large unit. Lamps of aver 200 watts are seldom used in the garden for direct lighting.
 Colored lights are not generally used, because they tend to distort natural colors.
 For paths, stairways, etc, perma- nent properly located equipment is usually preferable to portable fix lures. It is advantageous to have these areas undre the control of a central switch in the house. Care should be exercised in locating the light source so that it will shield the eyes, bkut will project directly onto the desired areas.

Sister Mary:s Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE :. NEA Service Staff Writer

Don't be afraid to take short cuts in summer housekeeping. Any, thing that makes for pleasant liv- ing and cool working hours de- serves q fair trial, at least.
 A weekly schedule helps to keep the household machinery. running smoothly in hot weather, but it should not be so iron-ciad that il encourages clockwork. Major tasks, like laundry work and cleaning and canningg must of course have special time provided. But baking, dishwashing and the innumerable odd-jobs that must be done every day should be taken care of at the most con venient times.
 Speaking of dishwashing, it's seldom I do mine in the evening. They take only few minutes longer with the breakfast dishes in the morning, so why not scrape them we'll when you clear the ta- ble, rinse everything under the hot water faucet, stack them and end the dinner work there?
 Serve Salads First
 For variety, switch your courses around and serve salad first instead of always between the main course and the dessert Certain types of salads make in- viting beginnings for luncheons or dinners. First-course salads should be very cold. If you serve lobster salad as a first course, marinate the lobster first in French dressing and chill in the refrigerator. Also serve small portions.
 Tiny spices make delightful first courses, using tomato juice, fruit juices or ginger ale as the basis of the jelly. In these jelifes can be embedded any sea food fruit, vegetable or highly season ed appetizer. I make them quite small and perfectly molded and then serve them, cold and sparkk- ling, on a bed of green with a piquant dressing. A chilled first course, hot main course and a chilled dessert are an ideal com bination for a summer dinner and easiest to prepare, too, because chilled dishes are made and stored in the refrigerator hours before you need them.

 But, Peter, l."
 "I'll call at your room at $50" he said quickly. And you'll be ready"
 His imperious tone irritated Jo and she asked, Are you sure?'
 "If you're not" Fragonet smiled, "I'll take you anyhow"
 "But-"
 He shook his head, interrupting her. "There's no. use talking about it, Jo. You know you can't stay here any longer" He bent and kissed her quickly on the cheek, then turned abruptly and hurried toward the Inn without her.
 Thoughtfully Jo followed the path. forgetting her wet suit and the breeze that swept up gently from the head of the lake. What had he meant by saying ou KnoW you can't stay here any longer"' Did he know that Babs and Marsh were to marry and sense that Babs, with her new influence over Marsh, would never stand for Jo remain ing at Crest Lake?
 At any rate Fragonet's words, whether they had been calculated in their meaning or not. star tied Jo into sudden realization of her own position at Crest Lake Inn. Things had been- happening so swiftly in the past few hours that this was the first moment she had found in which to view her self obiectively. Certainly, now that her father had been success full in getting a job, she did not l need oremain at Crest Lake. And Babs' engagement to Douglas Marsh was likely to create even greater tension between Jo and Mrs. Marsh, who was so friendly ] with the Montgomerys. As for

To me they indicate the influence of heredity is the greater but to many wiser heads than mine they indicate environ ment is the stronger influence.

SLENDERIzE THROUGH
 POSTURE

Naturally, a slender figure is what every woman wants to have. However, if for one reason or an- other this is impossible, to have a figure which, though overweight, nevertheless looks well propor- toned certainly is not only the best thing but the very goal to- ward which to strive.
 If you weight more than you think you should and can't or don't " ish to lose the extra pound age, at least make sure that your fact that you tip the scales at more than you like to admit gives you no excuse for protruding stom- ach or an exaggerated hollow in your back. Posture exercises that correct figure defects are even more important to larger women than to slim ones.
 To get rid of a sway back and Jumps where curves ought to be, lie flat on the floor with arms outstretched and knees bent so that weight ot the legs rests on the balls of the feet.
 Now, taking a deep breath, pull in your stomach as far as possible and flatten all of your spinal col umn, except the last four certc- brae, against the floor. The last links in your backbone should be turned upward and forward.
 If you do this correctly, there will be no space between the cen- ter of your back and the floor. Hold the position a few seconds. Then relax, exhaling slowly. Re- peat several times or until your spinal column feels natural and comfortable when held in straight line.
 When you get up, try to stand the same way, with chest elevated, stomach pulled in, backbone straight and hips carried forward in the position they were in when you were lying on the floor.
 Remember, too, that a perfect ly fitted foundation garment is essential. It should be one of the new two-way-stretch varieties that doesn't squeeze your body in any particular spot but which holds you firmly from top to bot tom, giving a smooth unbroken line. Always have your founda- tion garments fitted by an expert and be sure to have a careful fit- ting each time you buy new one.

Housing Hints Tips on How and What
 to Improve
Iron Cracks Repaired

AEOh ShaCAo AASpNshCu
 Cracks and leaks in cast iron can be repaired with iron cement. This comes in the form of fine powder. Mixed with water it forms thick paste. Blend it well, for water and powder do not mix readily.
 The cement must penetrate the crack. For a pipe, radiator, or other work which must be water tight, use slender tool for widen ing the crack to a width which will permit the proper penetration of the cement.
 Force the cement into the crack and pack it by hammering with a flat tool.
 If there is considerable pressure in a pipe, reinforce the mended sectio nwith a hose clamp such as that used on water connections of an automobile engine.
 If there is possibility that the crack may extend and become longer, drill holes at each end and fill these with cement.
 Chimneys Height
 The height of a chimney has a decided effect on its efficiency. Some authorities recommend 30 to 35 feet as a minimum height. Many 'one-story houses have effi- cient chimneys less than this height, however, drafts in low chimneys tend to be cratic in their action.
 Strong prevalent winds. the height of the chimneys above the roof, the presence of over-hang- ing trees, and other factors cause disturbances in the action of the ( fits. These considerations will modify or increase any arbitrary minimums which can be set forth.
 Wall Fountain
 The sun room may be mad more attractive by the addition of a wall fountain. It will add to the effect of coolness In this room.
 Colored tile can be used to form niche, which may hold piece of statuary or formalized decora- tive plant form. Blue-green tile is particularly effective in room furnished with white wire furni- ture.
