OMFORT, casualness and
" color (if you'll pardon a
slight alliteration), will be the
keynote of the summer style
trend.
Light-minded summer with its
manifold opportunities for pleas
ure and festivity calls for many
new additions to the wardrobe and
a general refurbishing and bright
ening up of those frocks that SER
viceably withstood the rigors OF
last years wear.
1t is comforting to know that
the sports theme which is so flat
tering to most women will again
be played upon. While extreme
femininity, as personified by the
quaint peasant frocks so much in
vogue at present will remain in
high fashion and will be particu-
larly featured for evening wear,
for daytime wear we women Will
resort to sports costumes mod
eled on classic lines. Only this
season they'll be a little more
casual and carefree than ever be-
fore.
Washable fabrics are a fashion
must now more than ever be-
fore. This should be good news
for those whose clothing budget
isn't too yielding, for washables
cut down the cleaners bill mar
velously since with a little care
and good soap anyone can laun-
der little linen and gingham
frocks with no danger of bad re-
suits. For this reason, in buying
clothes of this type, make sure
that the materials are really good.
Dresses made of shoddy materials
that lose their new look at their
first contact with soap and water
are an extremely poor buy. 1t is
better to pay a little more for a
frock and have it retain all its
pristine beauty for a season or
two than it is to swoop down on
a bargain that turns out to be a
bargain in name only after the
first couple of wearings.
Linen, summers own fabric,
steps to the center of the stage
and takes a well-deserved bow,
for linen will be in demand as
never before and will be worn
every hour of the day and night,
from the pair of trinity tailored
shorts you'll slip on for an early
morning game of tennis, to the
lovely lines of the evening frock,
so cool and delightful for dancing,
in which you'll end the day.
Linen will take more gay and
colorful forms than ever before
this year. Many of the patterns
have drawn on the garden for in
spiration and depict flowers of all
colors and every variety. These
are lovely made into afternoon
dresses and are very feminine
when worn with shady big hats
and white or pastel gloves and
shoes.
Every wardrobe should contain
a linen suit, both for its practica-
bility and chic, for a linen suit

rHE eyes should be guarded,
not alone for the sake of their
beauty, but also as health meas
ure. A few weeks ago information
was given for exercising the eyes
each day in order to preserve
their muscular action, thereby in
creasing their strength and
beauty. Now we come to an
equally important phase of eye
care, namely, the cleansing and
refreshment of these delicate or
gans, as we'll as the preservation
of smooth skin texture in the area
surrounding the eyes.
So thin is the skin covering the
eyelids, and reaching up under
the lower lashes, that only the
purest cream must be gently pat
ted in night and morning. Eye
creams have been especially de-
veloped for this purpose. There
is one in particular, rich yellow
wax, smelling family of camphor,
which as everyone knows is con-
tanned in many eye preparations,
that offers a most effective lubri-
eating agent for eye tissues. This
cream does not spread on. 1t is
quite stiff in texture, but readily
melts when it comes in contact
with body heat.
Use of such a preparation every
night on the lids in both corners
and beneath the eyes is safe and
ane beauty insurance for the
yes. During the day a less gen
erous amount of the grease should
be applied only to the lids, after
they have been wiped free of all
powder accumulation.
In this group of aids to endur-
ing eye beauty is another item
that unfortunately far too few
women use to advantage. 1t is
the scientifically compounded eye
pads, which when moistened and
applied to weary eyes will magic
ally refresh and strengthen them,
bringing renewed energy to the
entire body.
Wise women will allot given
periods, once week or more, for
use of these pads. Concealed in
side sterilized gauze pads are
soothing herbs. The pads are
ioined in the middle and fit COM
fortably over the eyes. When sat
urated with warm water and ap-

Ample Space Is Provided By Cabinets That
Have Been Carefully Designed To Meet
Needs Of Speedy Food Preparation

and other root vegetables near
the sink, since they are first
washed and prepared at this
point. For this purpose a venti-
lated drawer with a grilled front
should be provided as near the
floor as possible since it is coolest
there. This drawer should be of
a capacity to take care of a
weeks supply.
With this arrangement dishes
can be washed and dried and put
away without moving from one
spot, and vegetables gotten ready
to place on the stove with min
imum of effort. Simple, isn't it?
Last in our kitchen time-and-
labor saving Encouragement comes
the range and serving section.
Here a word must be said in plea
for a really good range. All the
efficiency in the world will not
make for better meals if the stove
is an outmoded affair with
doubtful oven and obsolete ar
rangements. The new models,
with their easily cleaned surfaces
and compactness in cooking ar
rangements will make worlds of
difference in the preparation of
meals. Also, the trim and shining
appearance of a new range will
add immeasurably to the charm
and attractiveness of the kitchen.
Here, as in the other work CEN
ters, ample storage room and
capacious fiat working space
should be provided. This space
should be adjacent to the range
so that dishes and serving plat
ters can be spread out upon it..
If it is not possible, because of
the dimensions of the kitchen to
provide this working place, a
table on wheels which can be
moved about the kitchen will suf-
fee. Such a table, incidentally,
will serve many purposes.
There are many things which
should be stored directly around
the range in order that many
steps may be saved. For instance,
in the top drawer of the base
cabinet near to the range, cooking
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-09

cutlery, long-handled knives, forks
and spoons should be kept. To be
sure, this may in some cases mean
duplication of cutlery stored near
the refrigerator, but it will pay
for itself in the saving of steps.
Another item which should be
stored conveniently near the range
is bread and pastry. The second
drawer in the base cabinet is suit
able for this, where it will be at
hand in serving the meal, and
also in making toast during cook
ing operations. In the bottom
drawer are kept frying pans and
a deep fat frying kettle, as equip
ment of this type must be pre-
heated before using.
The cabinet directly above or
to one side of the range is an
ideal place in which to store the
platters and serving dishes so
they will be at the housewives
finger tips when she is serving a
meal. Tea and coffee are made at
this point also, and consequently
the coffee percolator and the tea
pot, the toaster and the tea and
the coffee should be stored in this
cabinet also. Nearby should be
kept a number of trays of various
sizes to be used in serving.
These three working centers,
disposed of in this manner, make
up an ideal kitchen. 1t is plain to
be seen that this arrangement
will cut down the number of steps
a woman takes in her kitchen
tasks to an absolute minimum.
This is not a kitchen existing
only in a domestic science eX-
pert's dreams. These plans have
been worked out in kitchens of
actual homes s-kitchens that at
first seemed too unfavorably ar
ranged for any change for the
better.
While these practical consider
ations are of prime Importance,
kitchen decoration also is impor-
tant in the morale of the house
wife. This question we will take
up in all its aspects in an early
issue.

4 AOST of us women, whether
Y" we like to admit it or not
have our lives bound pretty closely
by the four walls of the kitchen
From early morning until the din
ner dishes are dried and put away
the kitchen lays claim on many
hours of the housewives day
Trotting back and forth from the
stove to the sink, the table to the
refrigerator, the back porch to
the pantry means actually miles
of walking. And women wonder,
at the end of the day, why they
have weary legs and aching
backs!
Unfortunately, the kitchen is
often the most poorly planned
room in the entire house. When
there's extra money to spend on
home improvement it will go for
a new living room set, or porch
furniture, while Mother is doing
double or even triple the work
pc should do because of anti
lated kitchen equipment, and
that badly arranged.
In the modern office where the
head of the household performs
his daily duties efficiency experts
have scientifically arranged every
thing so that a minimum of time
and effort is expended. In this
emancipated age why should not
his wife, whose tasks are equally
important in the maintenance of
happy living, have the same ad-
vantages of labor minimizing
planning?
There's no reason at all why
this is not possible, and the only
thing necessary to bring it about
is an awakened consciousness in
women that this is not only pos
sible but necessary, in the inter-
ests of their own and their fam
lilies happiness and comfort
Home economics experts have
focused their scientifically trained
interests on the kitchen and have
discovered that every kitchen,
even the most poorly proportioned
and arranged, can be transformed
with planning and the addition of
modern equipment into an eff
cient work center with a conse-
quent saving of actual hours of
work and miles of steps.
This is not an undertaking in
volving the expenditure of large

around the sink will do much to
tighten this dreariest of all
kitchen tasks.
Then cabinets above the sink
are for the storage of glassware
and dishes. The glassware should
be placed on the side nearest the
refrigerator. This is necessary as
glassware and glasses are used
more frequently at the refriger-
ator for the serving and prepara-
tion of cold dishes. On the oppo-
site side, away from the refriger-
ator and near the range, the table
china should be kept.

Silverware is kept in one of the
top drawers under or to one side
Of the sink, and cleaning cutlery
and equipment in another. Sauce
pans are generally used first at
the sink, as they must have water
in order to be used for cooking,
so they are stored in the middle
drawers of this section. One of
the bottom drawers should be
used for cleaning powders and
soaps.
While most of the foodstuff is
kept in the refrigerator, it is wise
to store potatoes, carrots, beets

kitchen is the sink, which is used
primarily for dishwashing and
other cleansing duties. 1t is
fanked by sinkboards on both
sides, if possible, and by ample
cabinet space above or to either
side if a window is placed di-
rectly above the sink. Below the
sink are drawers. If it is pos
sible, an electric dishwasher
should be installed to take care
of the drudgery of dishwashing,
but if the pocketbook cannot be
stretched to accommodate it, this

outlaws of your menfolk - they
simply have no imagination. Look
at the kind of dull hats they wear,
if you don't think so. This years
crop of spring and summer hats
seems to be a special source of
merriment to all the men we've
heard on the subject, but, after
all, they're mere men and aren't
supposed to know anything about
le dernier cri in millinery.
Nothing is more f1attering to
most women, particularly if they
are the least bit tall, than a wide
brimmed hat, and they are as
practical as they are decorative,
for they serve to keep the sun
from delicate skins and also to
keep the glare from the eyes.
The crownless bandeaux of soft
chiffon or crepe are fine for those
women who have fiy-away hair,
and they look very trim with
sports outfits.
We do not dress so formally in
the evening during the summer
months as we do the rest of the
year. That is probably because
cotton materials play such large
part in the fashioning of evening
attire and it is hard to be really
formal in cotton, which carries
the casual note right onto the
ballroom floor. However, nothing
could be more gracious and fem
mime than the delicately fash
ioned dancing frocks of cotton
we'll be wearing this summer.
The Hawaiian influence has
been a strong one in determining
the mode for evening wear, and
a delicious new shade called hula
brown" is all the vogue. This rich
shade is particularly good on
those of fair coloring.
Glazed chintz is another inno-
vation, and charming one. 1t
makes up beautifully in the peas
ant style to which we've all been
converted and it keeps fresh for
days and days.
The bride-to-be, in shopping for
her trousseau, will want several
of these washable frocks we've
mentioned, for in them she'll look
cool and delicious the whole sum-
mer through. However, it must be
borne in mind that the trousseau
should keep the young woman in
clothes for about a year, so she
shouldn't confine her wardrobe
purchases to summer things
alone. She should include a few
things that will be wearable clear
through fall to winter For this
reason a few knitted or jersey
frocks and suit, either. tailored
or with a longer, swagger coat,
are absolutely essential.
Unless she's a wealthy young
woman, she should select a we'd
ding dress that will serve as an
afternoon or evening frock for
some time to come. It's lovely to
be sentimental and pack the
sacred wedding gown away in
lavender for posterity. but it isn't
very practical.

RELIEF CASES QUITE HIGHER
I3O Applicants Being In. terviewed Daily By Vel.
 fare Department

Relief cases at the local depart ment of Public Welfare have inc creased at the rate of six per day. since the 18th of the month, Mrs. Margaret A. Verdon, director, stated today. These cases represent an average of five persons each, or thirty individuals, none of whom have received assistance from this source before and who were not included on the relief rolls of the city until until recently. Mrs. Ver- done also stated the department IS interviewing 130 applicants daily and conducting examinations into the requirements of each.
 The department has been provid. ing these applicants with food, clothing and fuel, and has also been making efforts to find employment for several of the wage earners ln the more needy cases. The number of applicants at the department Of public welfare has been noticeably on the increase, which Is perhaps due to the recession in business of the local factories.
 The regular shipment of govern- ment supplies for relief distribution in Waterbury were received today, the shipment containing large quan- titles of prunes, apples, eggs, etc., and a supply of meat.

IFLAMMIA'S CASE.
 Us CONTINUED.
Husband Charged With Striking Wife Admits
 It in Court

Admittedly a tyrant in his man. ner toward his wife, Joseph Flam- mia, 45, of 225 Chase avenue was arraigned in city court today on charges of assault and breach of the peace. Judge Mascolo, after telling the man to go back to his wife and effect a reconciliation, heard fur ther evidence from a 75-year-old woman and ordered a re-hearing for Saturday morning.
 At the present time Mrs. Flammia is living with the 75-year-old wo- man, who says she will also take care of the four children who are now living with MT. Flammia.
 Flammia admitted to Judge Mas colo that he had struck his wife, saying nonchalantly, "When I get a few drinks into me and she gives me back talk, I slap her." He claimed that he has not felt the same since two of his children were burned to death in a five five years ago. It was recalled that the two children were playing with matches and started the fire.
 Mrs. Flammia told Judge Mascolo that she could not live with her husband because she was mortally afraid of him. With many gesticula- tions she explained the circum- stances of her last departure from the house. She said her husband had threatened her with @ knife, and that she had warded him off until she managed to open the door and run for her life. She has not re- turned since, she said, and does not intend to,

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD
 PIANIST IS GOOD

New York, Nov. 23-(UP)-Julius Katchen, Il year old pianist, emerged timidly from the wings at Carnegie Hall last night, stared with obvious embarrassment at the full house, and proceeded to play the Mozart Concerto with skill that drew the heartiest edulation of the critics.
 It was his New York debut and the highest point in his career playing with the New York Phil- harmonic Orchestra.
 Dressed in knickers, blouse and socks, the New Jersey youngster settled down after his initial stage fright and sat before the plano to await his cue. Conductor John Bar birolli raised his baton and led the orchestra through the long opening passage. Julius iidgeted, rubbed his hands up and down his knees, and appeared anxious to get started.
 When his turn finally came, he proved, in the words of one critic, to e "a gifted oy."

MT. and Mrs. Anton Paldauf, currently of 250 Baldwin street, sought two weeks ago to recover Celia's custody from Mrs. Bohn' The latter a well-to-do widow With a home at 69 Pleasant street, refused Co give Celia to the parents, citing home conditions which she claimed were not suitable.
 one of these, reported by the juvenile authorities of Illinois when they gave Celia to Mrs. Bohn's cus- today, was the fact that Celia never had been in school. Her mother, 1t was stated, had said that she could teach Celia just as well. And Celia in Waterbury is in the fourth grade, although eleven years old and large for her age.
 The counsel in the case, Emil Hummel for Mrs. Bonn, and Joseph 0, Guilfoile for the Paldaufs, agreed with the judge today, 1t was report cd after the hearing in the judges chambers, that Celia should be taken to visit her parents at least once Q week QurHlk blle biIHe WiS il0bSoo corpus case is pending. Celia, at the hearing last week, however, had said that she preferred to remain with Mrs. Bonn.
 She accused her parents of figlft- ing between themselves and told the judge that she didn't want to return to them. Asked if she got along with her mother, Celia answered, "No." Regarding her fathers place in her affections, Celia was not so sure. It was then that she re- marked on the fighting" Mrs. Bofn has provided Celia with the first room of her own the child ever has had. The cousin Of MT. Paldauf has started savings ac- count for the girl and has seen to it that she attends school. These things were testified in court.
 For the parents, MT. Paldauf said that he now Is steadily employed and
