THE WOMEN

Please don't offer me a bathing suit when I say forgot mine. I left it at home because I HATE to swim.
 And how about 8 cup of coffee in my room before I have to face the famiy's bright cheeriness?
 I'd also like to have two more blankets than you think need, in a chair beside the bed. (You don't know how many colds I've caught on summer week-ends.)
 Tell your husband not to make 8 pass at me-not while I'm your guest, anyway.
 Don't insist that I keep on eat- ing when I'm ready to stop.
 And don't encourage me to have "just one more quick one"
 Let me go without argument at the time we planned when you ask ed me-

own way. The important thing is to treat them with respect and not force their hands.
 Just about the worst mistake one can make is to say in front of such a child, "She is so shy. Come here, Susan, and don't be so bash full. Mrs. Smith won't hurt you" It causes her repeated agonies of soul that only make her retreat still further into herself.
 We had Q very tirnid little neigh bor one time. Her mother thought I would be displeased if Martie did not make up. She would call Martie and tell her to say 'sHow do you do" and shake hands. Martie didn't want to.
 The other children came in and went out of our house chattering and friendly. Martie never came in. One day I saw her playing out in our yard. said to the fam fly, Stay here. Don't go out and make a fuss over her. She won't come back if you do." She came often and each time let her alone. Gradually, she saw that no one would intrude on her reserve. She knew she would not have to answer if spoken to, be- cause she saw that she wouldn't be addressed. She came up on the back porch one day and played with her doll. And then, there she was in the kitchen, watching dinner be- ing cooked. Thus the little rabbit gained courage.

 It all sounds very casual and quite gay when she says, "Oh, we're tired of making plans. Yes, l sup pose the children will go to camp this summre. And we'll probably go somewhere for a couple of weeks. Some morning I may even decide to finish the spring housekeeping"
 You find yourself wishing to good ness that you could worry less and take things in your stride as she does.
 But, unless her casual act is just pose, if you find out in the fall exactly how much fun she and her family had during the summer, you probably won't be so envious of her ability to take things lightly. Bcause it is true that a little foresight and a great deal of care- dul planning are exactly what it takes to enable anyone to get through months of hot weather without looking and feeling wilted and ending up with frazzled nerves instead of a coat of suntan and plenty of newly-found vim, vigor and vitality.
 START WITH
 THE HOUSE
 If, whether you feel like it or not, you get the spring cleaning finished, the summer. rugs down and the win- ter clothes packed away in moth balls, you're off to good start. The house will look cooler, so you'll en- joy being in it more. It's no fun in the middle of a lazy day on the beach to start wondering if a moth has found its way into your fur coat or the best blankets.
 It's wise to order the children's clothes for camp, get them marked, even packed well in advance. As for your own vacation, you might re- member that seldom does an un- planned vacation turn out very well. Let's just get in the car and start driving" sounds fine, but usually isn't.
 Do your shopping now before it's unbearably hot and the stock of summer dresses in your favor ite store is getting low anyway. Take the overnight trip you dread now instead of later. In other words, get busy now so you can relax in the sunshine. later.

Trust Your Doctor or Fire Him
 Correspondent files a 1,200-word letter giving his history from early childhood up to the present, and concluding historically with this question:
 Dr. Brady, what has become of the art of medicine? Where are the McCartneys and the Hertzlers and the Heisers (for vain mo- ment I thought the correspondent might include the Bradys, but of course that would not be consis- tent), who see the patient as a human being and as a whole?
 The correspondent included a synopsis of many and varied courses in diagnosis, nutrition, chemistry dietotherapy and physicotherapy he has taken in the course of his amaz- ing career. Then he detailed an episode in which one of his scores and scores of specialists had the efrontery to interrupt one of his re- citals with the impertinent remark "Oh. your bowels-we'll fix your bowels with diet" The specialist was telling him!
 AS I see it there is but one way for a patient to get his moneys worth and satisfactory treatment in any case, and that is by trust ing his doctor without reserve. To this end the wise patient will care fully select the doctor and having made his choice he will lay aside his own theories, obsessions or knowledge or advice and follow 1t faithfully - or else fire the doctor and try another.
 This absurd trick of taking ones "critical sense" along when con- sulting doctor and accepting only such advice as seems sound is all very well for half-baked wiseacres who have more money than brains. Intelligent folk are not so eager to impress the doctor with their ex- traordinary knowledge of medical matters.

 Starting on Friday, Manager Julia Smith of the State theater brings to the many patrons of this theater Only Angels Have Wings, judged as "l939's top thrill show" with Cary Grant, the star of "Gunga Din" and Jean Arthur. the heroine of You Can't Take It With You'' being united for the first time.
 Also in the cast are Thomas Mitchell, Rita Hayworth, and Rich ard Barthelmess who is said to make a splendid comeback after an absence of more than three years.
 The film was in production for over a year-and-a-half and shortly after its release was hailed as the sensation of 1889. Praise of the pie ture is rapidly sweeping the coun- try with preview critics acclaiming it as "1939's greatest screen adven- ture."
 So great is the film that it is a positive assurance that you will not be satisfied with seeing 1t once but will return to the State to see 1t again and again.
 The film is set against a back ground of the tropics in the area of the Andes Mountains in South America. In this territory anything can happen and does.

 Sky-crashing aviation scenes which are among the highlights of the film have been unanimously praised by critics. Few motion pie lures have been able to weave to- gether every phase of drama as does this one. That it is definitely an out standing candidate for next years Academy Award has been a con- stant critical statement.
