Paris Styles
By MARY FENTREsS

Paris (UP) - Hints as to what spring fashions will be are revealed in the styles shown for Riviera and cruise wear.
 The tailored shirtwaist dress, in either silk or lightweight wool, has been launched again for informal wear. These frocks are in pastel shades with matching or contrast ing hip-length coats, cut full and loose.
 These coats fasten in front with leather or wooden buttons which are matched by leather or wooden belts. In the latter case, the belt is made of small sections of wood which fold up much like Q roll-top desk. For travelling there is Q brown shirtwaist dress worn with Q short, full panther coat lined in the brown wool.

right placement of your voice and causes your vocal chords to tire quickly.
 Correct, deep breathing, proper carriage and the daily habit of reading aloud will quickly help you to overcome a tight throat and its attendant voice faults.
 How to Make . Speech
 Today women in almost any walk of life are likely to be called on to address a group, formally or in- formally.
 Plan what you are going to say. Stumbling and long pauses detract from the effect if you have to do your planning after you are on your feet. tD
 Address yourself to the member of your audience who is farthest away to make sure that you can be heard by everyone without strain ing.
 DO not clear your threat. Gargle with salt and water twice day and you will not have to clear your throat when speaking.
 Begin planning for the speech far ahead by watching your every day diction and pronunciation. Good speech must be automatic--it cannot be put on for the occasion as you do your evening gown.

 Your ChiLdrgn
By Olive Roberts Barton

Let us take a hypothetical Mrs. Jones with c hypothetical daugn- ter, Lucy. Lucy is ten. Lucy has enough clothes for three children too much spending money and the weakest muscles on earth for any thing she does not want to do. She never picks up her clothes; leaves A perennial mess behind her: stu- dies when she feels like 1t and lets her mother wait on her as Q mat ter of course.
 In her mothers mind this thought is uppermost: T had so much to do
 when l was little that I'm deter
 mined not to spoil Lucy's child hood too"
 Looking Forward To Marriage And this: T want Lucy to love me and appreciate me when she is grown. She knows I work pretty
 hard for her and do without things really need so she can look pret- ty and hold her head up."
 And perhaps this: "All our sav- ings will go into her education at good school. For that she also will be grateful and say what gen- erous parents she had. She'll look after us, Lucy will. Her turn will come to show us something in re- turn for what we have done"
 Across the street is 8 hypotheti- cal Mrs. Smith. With twenty one-year-old daughter who once was ten, and who, like Lucy, was handed the world, silver-plated: {: whose mother brought her up in the same way, with the same predic- tions about her gratitude.
 At the moment Mrs. Smith is crying. Mary is visiting home for Q week while Jim is away. Mary is @ bride.
 "But, Mother" Mary is saying. T can't help it If you and father were extravagant. I'm sorry you have to rent out ali your rooms and work so hard, but what can I do? I can't give you money because 1t is Jim's. No, can't stay here two more weeks while you take Dad to the hospital. If he had just saved his money he could have had his op- eration long ago."
 Mary had had Q big wedding and half her house furnished. That was the least they could do for her, they reasoned, so spent their last cent. Now Mary is home in @ new fur coat, sits herself down to knit and save board while Jim is away. But her chief comment is on her par- ents' extravaganza. And at last her mother cries out, Mary, Mary, have you no gratitude for all we have done?' And Mary stares and asks jelly, What did you do? I don't see what you mean"
 Gratitude is something that grows up with family life. It is not bill of sale for value received. It has 8 sense of obligation and decency ando responsibility behind 1t that mere giving will not produce. The spoiled child is never grateful. She Cor he) lives g one-way life, her own. - t2 Copyright, lsS6, NEA Service, Incl

though the baby may be uncomfort- able for a day or two.
 However, should 1t seem likely that a mother is going to have an- other baby, she should discontinue nursing the first one, SO as not to overtax her strength.
 The mother need not worry about taking ordinary remedies prescribed for various conditions, since few drugs, given in the customary doses will get into the milk in harmful amounts. al8
 The question often asked Is whether g nursing mother should continue to smoke, if this has been her habit. There is no reason to bee lieve that smoking in moderation will harm the baby.
 But there is danger to the little one if the mother smokes while she is actually nursing the cAild. since there Is evidence that babies have suffered burns because cfthis prlc- ticc.

Table Etiquette Sets Rules
 for Napkin Use

Simple little item--a napkin. But there's Q bit of ritual to using 1t politely, gracefully.
 It should never be opened up full, according to etiquete, unless it's the tea size. Leave 1t folded double or triple when you lay It across your knees. Tn using 1t, lift only c corner to your mouth dis creetly. When you're Q guest, don't fold it carefully at the end of the meal; and don't rumble 1t up and toss 1t carelessly on the table. Fold 1t halfway and tuck it under the edge of your plate as you rise.

A fine, clear voice and good health follow faithfully @ few sim pie rules for proper voice produc- ton, you will likewise have an ex- cellent recipe for good general health and resistance to disease.
 Stand and sit correctly. Good carriage is essential to a good voice. Unless you hold your body properly you cannot breathe correctly and correct breathing is essential to good speech ari charming voice.
 The richness and fullness of your tone depends on how big a reser- voir of air you have to draw on, Try to burst an imaginary belt in the diaphragm region while stis- taining vowels and while reading aloud.
 Practice Spontaneously
 Fill your lungs to their full capa- city. Then see how many times you can repeat each of the vowel sounds ui H AulAg EOuAASA tOhiG pSAOkC CAAAuQob- ing your breath supply. Do this sev- eral times, using Q different pitch for each trial just as if you were practicing Q musical exercise.
 Get a joyous spontaneity into your voice, let the world know that you are a vital sparkling person. Breathe deeply when you speak. A simple way to bring vitality to your voice is to read aloud daily the following verse with all the win, and power you possess:
 "Yo, ho, my lads, yo ho! yo ho!
 "The captain calls to all below. "Joy, joy to all, for we must gol "Yo ho, my lads, yo ho. yo ho!
 Tn reading this selection, pro- nounce each vowel with exagger- ated precision, and make the tones as full and ringing as you can.

VITALITY AND IMMUNITY

VITALITY AND IMMUNITY
 Nobody knows what resistance" is, in reference to the question of susceptibility to or freedom from disease.
 We'll, for that matter, we know very little, as yet, about immunity, thought we at least know there is such Q state or condition and in certain instances we can determine specifically whether individuals are immune or not, say to diphtheria or tuberculosis.
 Here is Q distinction I, being a peculiar duck, not to say 8 queer quack, have noticed for years. When g physician or health authority is merely sounding off to fill space or to impress the dumb leity he is quite likely to talk lcarnedly of "re- sistance", for he is safe enough there, since nobody knows a thing about 1t. The resistance" bunk is therefore the main support of the old guard who wish to keep people believing in exposure to cold" as a factor of illness. It affords plenty of material for circumstantial pre- varication. A lot of laymen are in- capable of distinguishing what an eminent doctor says from what the doctor knows.
 Immunity is neither gained nor lost suddenly or in day. Like ob- esity, 1t grows on you, insidiously over a period of months or years, and 1t sticks to you for quite a while, once you have acquired 1t, no matter what you do about 1t. To imagine a wetting or chilling or change of weather or a spell of dampness magically dispels any immunity you may have acquired against respiratory infection is as absurd as it is to believe you can dissolve some magic salts in a tub of water, wallow in the bath a while and step forth minus your adipose but some dumb clucks must be- lieve these things. else how could the old guard and the charlatans get away with their chatter? Some body has to pay for 1t. Health commissioners must eat.
 Many wiseacre young women who have "dieted" not wisely but too well in the attempt to become abnormal ly slim have persisted in defiance of warnings from physicians, until at last they have developed active pulmonary tuberculosis. It seems obvious that nutritional deficiency iinpairs immunity to tuberculosis. Empirically we have long cherished some such concept--witness the u1i- versal forced feeding with eggs and milk, cod liver oil and the like. Only recently have we discovered that the essential factor of immunity is an adequate supply of yitanlins, which egg yoIk. milk, cod liver oil happen to contain. The progress of re- search in this field, together with clinical experience, warrants the <. || |

GIonying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service stan Writer

Every business woman ought to keep liquid cleanser, hand and foundation lotions, cotton pads and boxes containing small portions of the powder and rouge she uses at home in a desk drawer in the office. No matter how carefully she cleans her face and applies makeup in the morning, the entire job should be done over again at lunch time and late in the afternoon as well.
 Never put fresh makeup over old. When you go to the dressing room to wash your hands and put on your hat for lunch, take along the little box of office cosmetics and groom your face. Use the H. Quid cleanser to remove every trace of old makeup, then put on foundation, followed by rouge, powder and lipstick.
 There are liquid cleansers, you know, which serve as foundations, too. One especially nice variety greaseless and mildly perfumed-- comes in two sizes, a large bottle for your dressing table at home and smaller one to keep in the office or carry inayour purse. Simply soak a cotton pad with 1t and rub the pad over face and throat. Remove with the other side of the little pad.
 Use hand lotion after each wash. ing. If you neglect this, carbon paper and dust will soon make your hands red and rough. Be sure to pick hand lotion which can be absorbed quickly. leaving no sticky, oily deposits between your fingers.
 Tn addition to makeup. it's q good idea to have. a small clothes brush and a soft shoe cloth in the offlce. Whisk the dust of shoes, hat and coat collar before you start out. After all, to be neat and tidy is part of your job.

In- stead. feed ir little aaead of time; but the next feeding should be given ct the scheduled hour.
