gold studs for one change), it will be in style as long as there's thread left in 1t.
 A model which is dressier-and perfect for mature figures as well as slim ones - comes in black satin and is shirred and draped in the fall 1887 manner. Shirring on shoulders and top of bodice makes for draped effect on sleeves and down the front. A wide sash, tied at one side, falls in grace fully draped folds below the waistline
 With the first black dress of the season wear velvet beret or little velvet pillbox or a romantic wide-brimmed felt with sleek velvet crown. Carry dull suede bag to match black suede shoes or suede and pat ent ones. For special occasions wear short white kid or doeskin gloves. But have black suede gloves, too, for ordinary events and emergencies.
 Alternative Choices
 Black is fashions first choice, but if you just don't like it, consider dark brown, green with good deal of blue in it, wine, deep rust. These are widely discussed, too
 There is variety of wide skirts on the horizon of chic-some gored and flared, others pleated all the way around-but the pencil slim silhouette is leading. The loveli- est black street dresses have trim, rather narrow skirts with fullness, if any, con- centrated at the front. If you are planning to buy square, boXy fur jacket, by all means get dresses with straight skirts The effect created by bulky fur jacket above a slim skirt makes you look inches narrower about the hips.

 Active sportSwomen who have spent plenty of time on golf course, tennis court and in the water this summer probably have few figure problems. However, for the vast ma- jority who had only a short vaca- tion and an occasional weekend in which to romp around outdoors, special exercises are much in order, even though the mercury boils.
 Bulges and bumps of flesh will not be tolerated by girls who want to look truly smart in suavely shir- red black crepe street dresses, trim ly tailored suits, new coats, which mold the figure.

BEAUTIFUL MATTRESSES

Qualifying for a job as a waitress

Miss Whitson is directing q
school for mattresses, the only such
school in Detroit. It was inaugu-
rated with the approval Of the
Michigan Restalrateurs, Inc, and
was opened to meet the demand
for well-trained mattresses in ex-
elusive restaurants.
The model waitress today doesn't
weigh over $50 pounds, Miss Whit
son said. She should not be shorter
than five feet and two inches and
she should not be taller than five
feet and seven inches. She cannot
be left-handed, and she should
not have bad eyes.

STATUS OF
DWELLINGS

ROCKVILLE, Nd, June ~.
The status of prefabricated dwell
ings in Montgomery county viii
probably be decided during q meet
ing Of the Board Of County Com
missionerS here today.
The county board members had
the question Of whether this form
Of construction is permitted under
the present county building regu-
lations, placed before them more
than q week ago. II it is not pro-
vided for, the next question will be
whether the code will be revised
to include this form of building.
Joseph L. Simpson, attorney for
q group of men interested in the
construction Of q wooden COM
pound type Of prefabricated house.
spoke in favor Of the dwelling be-
fore . meeting Of the board.
Value Disputed
On the other hand F. Barnard
Welsh, attorney for the commits
sioners, backed by a part Of the
board members, contends that this
is merely q "flimsy, cheap box"
type OF housing which will lower
the county building standards If
permitted. welsh ruled that the
ready-made houses must meet the
requirements Of the building code
to the letter rather than by spirit,
as Attorney Simpson contends.
It is expected that several ex-
pertS will appear before the COM
miSsionerS here today to testify
for Simpsons clients that the new
type Of construction Is consider
ably stronger than some now IN
use.
Construction is Crux
Due to the type Of construction
smaller sized timberS can be used
in construction Of the skeleton of
the house than those required by
the building code, which is where
the controversy arises.
Since the coming regulations Of
the county are now in the process
If being revised, it is believed pos
ible that provisions will be made
\ the building code for this type
construction.

 This is the spring to avoid bright, bright nail lacquer unless 1t accents a specific costume; the pale wan look which Is accomplished by leav- ing of rouge and applying powder and lipstick generously; too nut1y' helter- -skelter coihuers.
 It's a season to look glowingly healthy with just the right amount of makeup; spic and span with every hair In place, and neckWeaS crisp and scrupulously white; to soften your tailored suits and dreses es with frilly blouses and lingerie touches.
 Make up your mind to be less set in your ways as far as cosmetics are concerned. You may like the lipstick you have beer, wearing for years and years, but, unless you at least experiment with new shades now and then, how do you know that some of them aren't even more fattering?
 On general principles, If for nc other reason, see how you look with your hair brushed away from your face and upward from ears and neck. If you have been wearing it this way, try Page Boy coiffure-just for variety.
 If you are very large or your proportions seem to be wrong don't be tempted to Sorsake your old loves, navy and black, fos splashy, hamboyant tropical prints or gay, gay nionotones you have been hearing about. Nothing t smarter than black or navy and they make you look simmer thar, you actually are. Enliveia then, witt touches of white, shell pink or pale yellow, and you don't have to wor. " about looking too conservative o' prim.
 Make up your mind to buy one type of cosmetic you never have used before. This can be a jal of mask preparation or a skir tonic or nascara-anything at all l just so long as 1t Is new to you.

The Family Doctor
Chickenpox Victims Should Not Be
 Permitted To Scratch Themselves

mitted to dry and the crusts or scabs to fall off naturally, the disease sell dom leaves a mark.
 The chief factors in treatment of child sick with chickenpoX are his diet and the care of his skin. The diet is usually mild and soft. Mild, warm baths are used. The doc- tor will prescribe for the skin var ious powders, ointmentS, or antisep- tic solutions that will prevent itch- ing and secondary infection. One of the simplest, common substances is 5 per cent solution of bicar- bonate of soda.
 Chickenpox seldom affects older people. A grown-up person who sus- poets that he has it should make certain that he really has chicken pox and not smallpox.
 
 After a patient recoverS from chickenpox, it is necessary merely to wash his bedding with hot water and soap, and to clean and air the room thoroughly.
 Briefly, in caring for a child with chickenpox, here are the necessary procedures:
 1.-Keep the child clean.
 2.-Trim his fingernailS close ly.
 3.-Wash his hands frequent ly.
 4.-Keep the child in bed while he has a fever.
 5.-Ask the doctor to pre- scribe a lotion or ointment to stop the itching, if it is so severe that the child persists in scratching.

vITAMINs AND APPETITE

VITAMTNS AND APPETITE
 Obese, obesity, obeseness, closely. Abesus, that which has eaten itself fat. These are Webster's ideas, not mine. As long as you can still move about under your own power and squeeze through a standard door without tearing of any buttons, call 1t overweight, fieshiness or any eu- phonious name you like. But Web- ster is right, in nine cases out of ten. That is, the excess baggage, the stacker flesh, the handicap upon physical efficiency, the destroyer of beauty, comfort and happiness, is achieved by overeating in nine cases out of ten. The tenth case may be one of hypopituitarism or of hypo- thyroidism or a combination of these two ductless gland deficiencies.
 In these glandular cases 1t is cer- tainly not a question of overeating. In fact, 1t is difficult in some such cases to persuade the patient to eat as much as the physician pre- scribes in corrective regimen.
 But in all cases of nutritional, or, overweight there is no dodging the fact that the patients get that way by eating too much.
 Not too much meat, milk, eggs, fish. Not too much fruit, greens, vegetables. Not too much cereals, Not too much butter, fat or oil. Too much refined carbohydrate, su- gar or starch.
 Not too much potato. Too much sugar, candy, cake, pudding. too much bread, cracker and the like made from refined white flour.
 Refined carbohydrate is too easy to eat. too delectable, too tempting to nibble at merely to please a hos tess or when one is not hungry or when one has finished 8 square meal and goes for dessert since 1t is part of the meal and everyody takes it.
 Refined carbohydrate is excellent food, quickly digestible, quickly available as energy. But it is poor in two essentials, namely. minerals and vitamins. Fill. up with carbo- hydrates lacking or poor in these es- sentials, and where are you going to get the minerals and vitamins re- quired for normal metabolism?
 An early observation made by research investigators was that in certain deficiency diseases, diseases due to lack of vitamins, such as eriberi (multple neuritis) loss Of appetite was a prominent feature. Later vitamin B and vitamin c were found to control appetite to a considerable degree. So took form the idea that these vitanins fplain wheat is one of the richest nat. ural sources of oth of theml tend to improve poor appetite or to rec store lost appetite. No doubt that Is true in certain circumstances where patients suffer from prolonged shortage Of vItamins B and c. On the other hand it has been learned from experience that l7dividuale who have been in the habit Of con. slinling too much carbohydrate de not crave and do not take 50 much when illeir vltanlil intake is he creased.
