Smiling Dot! Gloomy Doris! One twin knows how to control her nerves" the other lets them get her down.
 Doris lies awake every night mag nifying little worries to enormous size. Dots discovered little tricks of relaxing. First she concentrates on letting every muscle go limp, from ears to toes. Then she imagines some lovely quiet scene, like a lake at sunset. Before she knows 1t, she's asleep.
 Doris takes her troubles to meals. She eats lunch hurriedly, her mind on unfinished work, errands yet to do. But Dot arranges to lunch with a friend. Or she takes along a mag azine to read or tries out a new restaurant.
 Doris sits at home and mopes be- cause she feels tired" all the time Dot knows that to keep nervous energy bottled up is, in itself. ex- hausting. So she finds outlets in tennis, dancing, club work.

Gl0nying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service Staff Writer)

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 The beauty secrets of lovely Vina Bovy, Italian soprano of the Metro politan Opera, should be encourag- ing news for any woman whose budget is so limited that creams and lotions have no place on it. AL priced preparations and really could find time to do complicated routines, the slender, blond singer uses simple, homely beauty aids in the simplest possible manner.
 For instance, plain olive oil is her favorite year-around cleanser. And she uses it as sunburn preventive when she is on the Riviera beaches in the summertime. Sulpnonated office oil (sold in the majority of drug stores) is her favorite soapless shampoo. After brushing her hair thoroughly, Mime. Bovy rubs about two tablespoons of the sulphonated oil into her scalp, then rinses it out with quantities of hot water.
 The opera star says that oatmeal packs keep the pores of her skin clean and small, the skin itself quite smooth. Once week, after cleans ing face and throat with olive oil, she smooths on paste made from powdered oatmeal and water, then rests until it is dry. Afterward, she rinses of the mask with ice water. Ice water, by the way, is one of Mime. Bovy's pet beauty aids. She uses it lavishly-several times a day, It stimulates circulation, keeps her skin firm.
 Quite frequently especially dur ing winter months, the young so- prano covers her lips with a color less pomade before putting on reg ular lipstick. This keeps her lips smooth and soft and makes nice base for the lipstick. Also, she often pats a very small amount of hand lotion under her eyes and over her cheekbones after makeup, including powder, has been applied This gives her skin fresh, dewy look.

- WE THE WOMEN Economic Freedom Lets Women Take Marriage on Own Terms

do the work they like and hire a trained person to do their job of child-raising.
 They weigh carefully the ad- vantages of marriage against the disadvantages and occasionally they decide to pass marriage by.
 If there is a real good in the change that is coming about, it is that women are achieving mems right to marry when they are ready to marry-and not be- fore.
 A successful woman isn't tempted as women have always been, to marry just to be married. She ism so afraid of becoming an old maid that she hurries into marriage with man she doesn't love. And she doesn't bear the humiliating knowl- edge that marriage is matter of economic necessity.
 Such a woman will be slower to take to marriage than the woman who is pushed into it-and by the same token, she will probably be quicker to call an unsatisfactory marriage failure.
 That is why Woman's personal independence and well-being can seem at first glance to be an enemy of the home.

under an instructor or drill-mastel can compare with a game played against a single opponent or as member of team against an op. posing team, for its physical educa- ton value.
 For years one fine high school required for graduation that thd boy or girl candidate pass a rigid test in swimming and proficiency in rescue from drowning. That is what I call sound education. In an- other public school for years the principal staged private boxing matches or contests under proper supervision, and by such contests boys settled their differences or quarrels if any. The plan worked with great success until one yellow kid, 8 spoiled child, boo-hooed to his foolish parents, and they raised scandal over the matter and suc- ceeded in having the arrangement stopped. Just the same, in my judg- ment a growing boy who has not received fair training and oppor- tunity to practice the art of self defense under qualified instructors who are members of the school faculty, bona fide teachers. has not had fair deal in education.
 Parents too often acquiesce or actively conspire with their children in various dodges or cheats where by the misguided young ones evade or escape part or all of the physical education the curriculum provides. A favorite fraud of this kind is sometimes aided even by the doctor who in his abject anxiety to hold the family patronage consents to help a girl pretend a natural func- tion is sickness, weakness or deli- cacy. This practice is 8 disgrace to intelligence. Doctors who partici- pate in 1t should be exposed as shysters. Experience of thousands of young women of high school and college age has amply proved, be- yond all eyebrow raising, that 1t is better for the health of the girl or woman that she continue all her usual activities, including regular exercise, athletic or gymnastic work, without interruption during the menstrual period. There is plenty of evidence, too, that pam- pering at that time, as though the function were a weakness or an ill., ness, invites trouble. Any boy or girl, young man or young wo- man, who is able to be up and about should be required to take his or her regular physical training classwork as well as any other classwork. It is high time that our physical edu- cators put an end to this abuse.

STYLE FIRSTS

For evening, Jean Patous displays a chartreuse oyganza whose full skirt has nine panels of lavender satin ribbon. Three lengths of the same ribbon or inserted horizontally for corselet effect at the waist.
 Mainbocher chooses chartreuse chiffon for the sophisticated din- ner dress which has a tailored long, sleeved blouse and fioor-length ac- contemplated skirt.
 And an unfailing recipe for a striking" evening gown is one which combines a silk and wool jersey material with a vivid char treuse color-and wraps the whole tightly around any figure that can take it. At least that is Paquin's E idea.
 If a little chartreuse goes a long way with you, try mixing it with cyclamen and pink for silk sash such as Patou puts round an ala baster silk suit. The sash is formed by diagonally cut stripes of the three colorS and is the only trim ming for the smart of white suit.
 Henry la Pensee suggests rich chartreuse silk blouse which ties in bow at the neck and has glazed kid gloves to match.

-Second of Three Articles Safety- CLEANING FLUIDS USED AT HOME NEED SPECIAL CARE FOR SAFETY
By NEA Service

In preparing rugs, draperies and other fabrics for summer storage, make sure that you are taking no dangerous risks with inflammable and explosive cleaning materials. Many of the excellent products now on the market need to be handled with special care. In all cases, read the label on the container carefully. Choose cleaner that is marked "Non-infiammable and Non Ex- plosive." It's better to send articles to the commercial dry cleaner than to take chances with dangerous fluids. The expense is small in comparison with the accident costs that may result from attempting the work at home.
 Gasoline Is Dynamite
 Many persons have the mistaken idea that it is safe to clean with gasoline where there is no open flame. As matter of fact, ex- plosions of great ferocity have been caused by tiny friction sparks re- sulting from rubbing a fabric. Cas- oline vapor fingers in the air for hours after the fluid has evaporated. and this vapor is highly explosive. Never use nor store gasoline in the house. It is many times more pow erful than dynamite.
 Special precautions should be taken with anti-moth sprays and other insecticides. Follow exactly the directions for their use. If you're spraying your summer cottage to rid 1t of flies and mosquitoes, make it a rule to put out oil stoves and open flames, not forgettings cig- arettes.
 And speaking of oil stoves, re- member that kerosene, too, needs to be handled with care. It should never be stored where there is heat. brought near an oren flame, nor used to quicken wood fire. Alcohol. turpentine, paints, varnishes and oils are on the danger list.

SIMPLE METHODS EASE
 CANNING TASK

If canning is to be your hobby
 this summer, better pick out the simplest and most effective method. The boiling water bath method is easy and requires no special equip ment for its success. It is impo- tant, though, tha. the bath utensil is high enough so that the jars can rest on wire rack and are still covered through the entire cooking process with at least two inches of water. It should be large enough around so that the boiling water circulates freely between the jars. Keep a kettle of boiling water handy to replenish the bath as 1t boils away. Figure the cooking time accurately, according to the fruit you are canning, and count only after the water bath is fully boiling.

WOMAN,S REALM
Dinner Gowns for Summer
By MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York-The newest gowns fol summer dining in country or su- burbs have about them that casua but correct air which distinguishes the finest sports clothes. The smart woman who is lucky enough to be away from the city for the summer is as happy in these in the evening as she is in well-cut slacks and classic sweaters or shirts in the day
 There is, for instance, a two-piece model in spun rayon with a linen- like texture. The floor length brown and white striped skirt is boxpleated from waistline to hem with the pleats stitched down over the hips to make one look sleek and trim. The brown blouse has g plain, high neckline, smiilar to those on the best-loved golf dresses, but tons down the front and enormous ly full sleeves, gathered at the shoulders. The blouse is quite full
 In Street Length
 
 Nothing at all fussy about this model. It's as simple as a fine street dress. Indeed, 1t comes in street length.
 Another dinner gown, in a small floral print, is cut on housecoat lines but has an air of greater for mality than a housecoat. It has mirror buttons down the front, a rather wide hemline and stunningly draped sleeves. This would be just as nice for aiming -at-home in town as in the country.
 One of the pleasantest things about summer is the fact that en- tertaining appears to be less of a strain on the hostess. And the kind of clothes your hostess wears this seaon make an admirable contribu- tion to the illuion. She may have spent just as much time planning the little supper" in the backyard as she did on that dinner to which she invited you last winter, but you won't think so when you see her in an easy-fitting, long skirt and a schoolgirl blouse.
 For Dining" at Home
 Or you may find her in an eve- ming sweater and long skirt. Per- haps a skirt attached to a bodice and a very short, angora sweater that lacks at least four inches of hitting her waistline.
 If you, regardless of how much you pride yourself on always being yourself" are just sick and tired of eating dinner In street dresses, know that utra formal dinner gowns are entirely out of order in your scheme of living, by all means con- sider the long skirt with several tops-system.
 Simply get, make or have made a perfectly cut, dark skirt that flat ters your figure and which is at tached to a bodice with narrow shoulder straps. Then. to wear with it. consider: snugly fitted jacket of shirred chiffon; an angora sweat CT in white or a pastel shade; a crisp linen or pique jacket, neatly tailored; very feminine blouse with full sleeves. One skirt of excellent fabric ard a variety of jackets should see you through dinner hours for months and months and months to come.

Be Wary in the Kitchen
 Keep sharp eye on all heating and cooking equipment when 1t is in use. A playful breeze may cause serious trouble. If fire starts in the country, you can't depend on a quick response from the fire depart ment, so be prepared for such an emergency. At least one fire extin- guisher should be kept in the house and one in the garage. The type that is fastened to the wall is best for average use. Make sure that the chemicals are renewed from time to time so that the extinguisher will always be in good working order.
