Having no curtains or draperies, helps to complete the va- cation effect. I have put away all superfluous bric-a-brac, and the living room, with small scatter rugs, is place now to park in with joy.
 Heat and strong light put an ex- tra strain on nerves. Therefore it seems to me to be extremely sensible to shade all rooms from glare.
 We keep on year after year try ing to fool ourselves that ours is a temperate climate, and therefore we act as though a heat wave was something to be resented, like hurricane. We fuss about tenn perature over ninety as though the weather-man were to blame. The whole truth is that we don't accept heat well.
 In the south they prepare for heat, sensibly, and arrange their schedules much better than we do north of the Mason and Dixon line. We could take some very good les. sons from their example, and moth- CTS with families, would find the afternoon siesta plan worth try ing.

 Once she is evenly tanned, she discards the npstick with blue in it and substitutes a clear, vivid red shade. She uses darker powder, of course, but uses it sparingly. Some times, she doesn't powder at all. On such occasions, however, she applies 8 makeup base which matches ex- actly her darkened skin, . light touch of cream rouge, generous supply of lipstick.
 As for the extra dress she needs, she just forgets about dark sheer and picks a gingham suit or non- crushable linen shirt-waister in a
 shade that dramatizes her sun- tanned complexion.

 There comes a day in the life of every girl who has to stay in town, hot weather or no, when the idea of looking like { city child even though she is one-is pretty distasteful.
 No matter how much she likes her job or the city she lives in or anything else about her present design of living, she finds herself envying the suntanned cheeks of her weekend hostess. She's bored with her own pastel makeup. She wishes her hands were bronze in- stead of lily white. She dreads hav- ing to select another black sheer of a dark background print.
 What to do-what to do?
 Well, first of all, she admits to herself that she could get more sun- shine and undoubtedly acquire a coat of tan right in town. It's more fun to take sun on the beach or at a mountain resort, but still and all, it's not difficult to take it on face

Although minority supporters of the Waterbury housing project are continuing efforts to have the city undertake participation in the low cost housing, slum clearance pro- gram which found overwhelming" objection at the public meeting Friday night, it is expected that the Aldermanic committee with this matter in charge tonight will re- port unfavorably at the adjourned meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
 Coincidentally, William M.

|24O PLAY GOLF | OVER WEEKEND
Municipal Course in Fine Condition After Winter
 Months

Fast greens and development of fairwayS to the point where spring golfers felt that their games had never shown such early season prom ise reflected the opening comment of he scores who played the muni- cipal golf course over the weekend.
 The largest number of players in the history of the courses seasonal opening made their first appearances according to the park department, and there were 136 nine-hole games played, 104 18-hole rounds, or 24O players.
 Evidence that the course had been under care throughout the winter months was the praise accorded the condition of both the fairways and the greens by numerous of the play CTS who have made early sorties to the links since its opening.
 Instead of finding that the harsh winter had taken toll of the added improvements of last season, play CTS declared that the municipal course is in better condition than is usual even in summertime.
 Many a player said that weather conditions were ideal, as well, for the cool wind of the fairways proved refreshing after sorties into the hol- lows, in some cases, into the traps, of course.
