Such things are available any
where, and there are things for
rooms of all types.
Crystal comes first, both. for
period interiors and for modern
settings. It is good in everything
from small aShtrays to huge
flower urns or bowls, and there
are rather massive pieces for
period rooms, as well as func-
tional pieces for the contempor-
airy types.
Leather Smart
Leather is very new, and Is
being featured by all good deco

is smartest, though colors are
good, too. You know it as a
desk set, but it may also make
boxes, bookends, cigarette con-
tanners, and so on. It even
covers walls in some new homes.
Metals are smart, and there
are many of them, chromium,
pewter aluminium, copper, sill
yer, and so on. Wire has been
revived for Victorian or classic
modern homes, and the other
metals are smart in contem.

Vogue
By JULIET SHELBY

Ruth Peterson's family
calls her 'Dimples." She
really has dimples, charming
ones, and she has one of the
most refreshing personalities
of the younger Hollywood
set.
Ruth Peterson was born in
Wisconsin-the land of lakes
and even though fate decreeda
that she become celluloid
queen, she enjoys nothing more
than to get out-of-doorS for
boating, swimming and hiking.
She, lives a very healthy life,
close to nature. No wonder she
was chosen to play a part in
"Caravan!"
We got talking about perfumes
for the younger girl, and she ad-
mitted that she is still trying to
find the one perfect blend-one
to which she can remain loyal
for months on end.
In the meantime, she holds
religiously to the lighter frag-
RANGES for daytime and the
heavier ones at night. Among
her daytime perfumes, there are
many floral blends quite in keep
ing with her refreshing presence.
Loving the out-of doors as she
does, it is not surprising that
she adores the fragrance of the
wood violet, nor that she often
wears a violet perfume.
Let me stop right here and
tell you young things that a
rich, true violet perfume is a
lovely blend for you to wear,
either during the daytime, or
during the evening. Mother
may like it and so may Aunt
Sue, but that should make no
difference. A violet perfume
has a distinction all its own,
and you will be a wise little
bunny if you get a bottle for
your personal use.

The doctor also will keep an
eagle eye on her blood pressure,
which may change suddenly for
the worse without her having
the slightest knowledge of the
fact. If the blood pressure be-
comes too high, there is an over

dition also can and should be,
corrected.

vented if possible, even though

The mother of the Dionne
Quintuplets- came near dying
when they were born, and her
confinement probably would
have been less dangerous had
I been permitted to give her
proper prenatal care at a suf'
3iciently early date: Her diet
should have been modified, as
the children were born rickety.
What actually happened
was that her husband appealed
to me only about two weeks
before the little babies made
their sensational appearance.
I found then that the woman
was far from well. She showed a
condition bordering on convul-
Rions, but was still up and
about. I at once ordered her to
60 to bed. Her home and older
children were put in charge OF
O helper.
She improved during the days
OF complete rest and treatment
before her premature confine"
ment, but a doctor should have
been watching her long before
the eleventh hour when I was
called to the case.
After a woman has visited her
physician and he has confirmed
her suspicion of pregnancy, she
should return to him as often
as once a month for the first
six months of her term, and
once every two weeks for the
last three months.

It is even possible for the
doctor. to whom a mother-to-
be entrusts herself at an early
stage, to say whether she is
going to have twins.
Most women would find it
convenient to know whether
to prepare baby clothes, crib
and perambulator for two in
tants or for one!

as her own, mother should
