Queen Elizabeth. Our correspond
ent informs us that for some months
they've been using small umbrellas
and calling them "Chamberlains, I"
but the races at Longchamps and
the beginning of the Grande Sc
maine brought out parasols with a
vengeance. They are not all as lacy
as those the Queen brought here on
her visit, but lace appears con-
stantly as edging, in rows on the
underside or insertions along the
ribs. We first saw indications of
this here in the early summer when
few imported models had match
ing parasols, but now, while we shall
probably be more backward than
Paris, it does seem likely that the
trend will grow.
America Also
Sets Styles.
Nevertheless, don't let this talk
about Paris and London lead you to
believe that American designers have
been idle. In the millinery world,
Lilly Daches recent show proved
that hats for fall will use novel
treatments. Monotone turbans in
two fabrics seem important and
magnet red, a crimson tone, ap-
peared many times. Reds and rich
wine shades are likely to be favored
in the fall and Lily Dache has used
them to advantage. Significant Is
the fact that emphasis was placed
on the backs of hats and the head
piece fitted very low. Trimmings
included porcelain flowers, ostrich,
bird wings and bird breasts in gay
colors and spangled wells. Fur hats
featured a turban Of black Persian
and a visor hat of beaver with a
loop of silver fox. All this, of course,
an advance indication of fall mil
linery, but one apt to influence the
definite trends.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have q small bedroom, 0x13
feet. 1t has two windows, no closet
and not one redeeming feature other
than the fact that there is one space
large enough for a bed. What can
I do to make it presentable and
what shall do about closets? The
windows are ordinary standard size,
one facing west, one north. The
ceiling is quite high. :
MISS D. r.
Answer
Build in closets on either side
OF the north window. They should
be 61a to 7 it. high to hold your
long dresses. Use one for dresses
and build the other in with racks
and shelves for hats, shoes and lin
gerie. A shelf between the two
closets under the window would
make a good dressing table with
standing mirror.
You may drop your ceiling line
to cut the height of the room by
putting a cut-out border that is
gay and colorful and follows around
the room from just above the VIM
dow height, or 10 inches down from
the ceiling line. If you have one
available space, use a good chest
of drawers with large mirror above
it. 1t will give spaciousness to the
room.
Use light gay paper and lots
OF warm color in bedspread, dra-
peries and comfortable chair Be
careful not to use heavy, all-over
design in materials as it will make
the room too close around you.
White, yellow and soft flesh pink
shades are good for spaciousness.
Don't try to get too much furni-
ture into the room. Light shelves
on the wall can hold books, and
one coffee table beside your chair
would be good for sewing, or any
other accessories, and more useful
than the ordinary size end table.

nishings, interior decorations,
etc, should be addressed to Mar

and swell; so you would remove the
paint, apply good primer, seal the
pores, paint again and all would
be well. But 1t does not work. l
have been working on a house that
is 1875 years old. All paint was re-
moved from the doors and they
were properly sealed and repainted,
and the variation is so great that it
takes Misunderstanding half an inch
thick to seal the crack in the winter,
after we have planed of enough to
open the door in July. This is actual
experience and If there is any one
who has found trick that will work
I would like to know it, too. Ger
tainly that many years should have
sufficiently cured those doors SO that
they would no longer swell, but 1
personally know that is not the case.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have received prices on some
plastering work to be done in our
house and find that the amount
quoted for two-coat plaster is con-
siderably less than for three coat.
What is the real difference, and are
We safe in accepting the lower
figure? JOHN 81
Answer
Two-coat plaster is perfectly salts
factory on masonry, brick, concrete
or wall block, but when it is used
on wood or metal lath it is referred
to as double up" work for cheap
construction. with inferior results.
You will be wiser to insist on a
three-coat job, even though the
price is higher. The three coats
consist Of, the scratch coat, mixed
with vegetable fibre to strengthen
, the bond, the brown coat for leveling
the surface and the finish coat to
give the desired hard surface. Each
coat Is allowed to dry before the
next is applied. Naturally the
method is expensive, but you will
find 1t an economy in the long run.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
l need electric outlets in nv laun-
dry room and in several other places
in the house. Is there any reason
why those could not be done by a
friend of ours who wired his own
house down IN the country? Does
this have anything to do with the
granting of fire insurance?
j. S. C.
Answer
AS your address is within the
District Of Columbia I suggest that
you find out the rules regarding
electrical work here. Work must
be done by a licensed electrician and
pass examination by an inspector for
the District. Your friend may be
a perfectly fine electrician, but it is
to cut down danger from fire and
loss OF life that these laws have
been made, and for your own pro-
lection as well as from the angle
OF fire insurance I would suggest

Clean Beauty
Each Week
Be Very Meticulous
Especially During
Summer Months
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

About once week at least you
should set aside half hour to
shampoo your beauty aids-beauty
aids such as your brushes, combs,
powder puf1s and face cloths.
1t is quite natural that your hair
brush and comb collect CRIME more
quickly during the summer months
than during the winter months, and
therefore need weekly shampoos.
You 60 around without a head COW
ering more frequently and the winds
blow sand and dust into your hair. BY
brushing and combing each day
(Which hope you doD you take
this accumulated dirt from your
head, but you will not be able to do
so unless your brush and comb are
clean.
Face cloths are apt to be forgotten.
One thinks just because face cloths
are IN water and lathered each day,
when you wash your skin, that they
automatically keep clean. Not so!
Face cloths quickly collect dirt and,
because they are wet the greater
part OF the time, they are breeding
grounds for microbes. Our skins
would be better treated if we used a
fresh cloth each time, or learned
to use soft bristle complexion
brushes which we kept sterilized.
And speaking about brushes. All
your brushes need weekly cleaning
Your bath brushes, your nail brushes,
your complexion brush and your hair
brush. Wash them in a basin of
soapy water to which has been
added teaspoonful of borax and a
few drops of strong germicide.
Hold on the backs and swish the
bristles through this solution, rinse
well IN warm water and then cold
water. Do not Grain them resting on
their backs or bristles. Stand them
on their sides, SO the water will not
run into the roots of the bristles.
Or if your brushes have a hole in
the handle. tie them on a line and
let the air dry them quickly. Do not
keep brushes too long in the SUM-
Fifteen minutes, when dry, should
be sufficient.
To use powder puff more than
two days at home. or two days in a
compact during hot weather, is flirt-
ing with minor skin blemishes.
A powder puff not only applies
fresh powder to your skin. but it also
absorbs the secretions from your
skin as you powder. And many girls
use one side to wipe their faces off
before applying fresh powder and
the other side of the puff to powder
Can't you see why it is necessary
that you keep a stack of puffs on
hand, and give them all bath once
a week?
To use in your vanity, those little
cotton discs which you can buy in
quantity for a dime are the most
sanitary for summer use. Each
morning you can discard the soiled
pun and pop a clean one into your
compact. And, If your day is to be
an arduous one. you can easily tuck a
few extras into your handbag
wrapped in piece of facial tissue.
The better makes of puffs, which
cost only a few pennies more, stand
up under many shampoos and dry
out fluffy and new looking. Each
comes in a cellophane container so
you can keep them sanitary after
washing, until you need to use them.
BY keeping after these little hot
weather details your beauty is well
cared for and you get the nice repu-
tation of being meticulous right
down to your very powder puff!

would be much better able to step in and help oSs at such a time. And they would be more willing to take the trouble.
 For 1t seems to be 6 fairly obvious fact that friendship means more to single women than to married ones.
 Their social life, their good times, their way of living depend on friendships. They work at friend- ship with the same zeal that mar ried women work at home-making.
 So 1t is to every married wo- mans advantage to have Q few unmarried friends.
 If she never has to fall back on them she's still the winner. For they will help to keep her from sliding into the too set pattern of housewife"

whatever you might call 1t, thas VIII end up in trouble.
 The gambler, with his poker face, is supposed to nave ron nerves. Don't you believe " Ine casual gambler, whether he takes a chance on lotteries or sits In at bank night, is nervous. So $ the professional. The numbers racket has driven people to despair. Any thing based purely upon luck IS hard on the nerves.
 But, let us look at 1t another way. I am not saying that . little fun now and then is not good for the best of men. Many c childs game is based on the spin or a wheel, Or a throw of counters as in parchesi It would be silly to go to extremes and say that sucn things were undermining.
 As for that, we can take the case of the man who went out one door and met a man who made his for tune for him. Or the twin who went out the other way and came to grief. Life is strange and such things happen.
 However, 1t is better to grew up thinking that you will get only what you earn rather than developing an obsession about good or bad breaks. Washington and Lincoln had more years of Encouragement than they had of good fortune. They could take it. And neither one nor the other left the path of what he con- sidered his duty.
 Go Easy on Word Luck"
 Maybe we had better be little careful about using the word Tuck" in our homes. Children pattern after us. Henry, hearing his father say over and over that he was born under an unlucky star, may come to believe that his own misfortunes are due to the disfavor of the gods, And as he grows up, he may be too discouraged to get up on his legs and try very hard, if he thinks that he is selected for disappointment.
 The body is exactly what 1t eats and breathes. The spirit is exact- ly what 1t absorbs. Wishful thinking depends upon luck. It never gets either us or our chil- dren anywhere. Effort and Q stoical attitude to disappointment are best. And then more effort. This is char acter building. And it brings more returns than anything else in life. Copyright, 1889, NEA Service, Inc.)

Sweating has nothing to do with 1t. Sweating is merely an index of the degree of warming up, limber- ing, softening an effect of the increased metabolisin or the more rapid oxidation or combustion go- ing on in the tissues. The sweating serves to cool the overheated tis- sues. It does NOT carry out any significant poison, acid, waste mat ter. Of course increased muscular activity means increased formation of waste matter, by-products of oxidation or combustion in the muscle, such as carbon dioxide, water, tactic acid. But these waste products are carried away thru the circulation, and eliminated from the body thru the lungs and thru the kidneys. NOT thru the skin.
 The other cause of muscle sore- ness is such waste matter imper- fectly removed thru the blood stream. One of the characteristic effects of proper training" is in- creased efficiency of the circulation in the removal of this waste ma terial. Athletes well trained are more or less immune to lameness or soreness after exrcise.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-25
MUSCLE SORENESS, GLASS ARM, CHAREEYHORSE

One of the two causes of soreness in muscles after violent or unaccus- toned exercise is actual rupture of muscle cell walls and emulation of blood and lymph. Soreness due to this cause perists until the tear or tears are healed. In exceptional in- stances the entire muscle may be torn from its attachment to the bone or from attachment to its ten- don, by Q sudden strain. Such an injury Is called "charleyhorse". A charleyhorse usually makes 8 visible lump, or one which can be felt, and this takes 6 month or more to disappear, of course leaving some scar in the muscle which may im- pair its full elasticity permanently.
 Runners and jumpers fear "pull- ing" the hamstrings, that is, rup- ture or tear of the muscles at junc- ton or muscle and tendon. Ball players, especially pitchers, have to prepare the deltoid and the scapu- lar or shoulder blade muscles care- fully to prevent the occurrence of a similar rupture or tear in shoulder or arm, called glass arm."
 The preparation to prevent such injuries is commonly called warm ing up" and is actually Q gradually increasing use of the muscles--a gradually increasing exercise. The danger of rupture or tear of mus cle fibre is of course greatest when the muscle is suddenly strained when cold.
 "If anyone immediately after ,n- dressing" observed wise old Dr. Galen, two thousand years ago, proceed to the more violent move- ments before he has softened the whole body and thinned the excre- tions and opened the pores, he in- CUTS the danger of breaking 0, spraining some of the solid parts but if beforehand the person exer- cising gradually warns and softens the solids and thins the fluids and expands the pores, he will run nc risk of rupture or tear of muscle or tendon" Excuse the allusion tc pores - remember, that was 200C years ago.
