the women writers start pounding on the goud-grooining lines. And she is again lost hi the shuffle,
 She notices that friends like to have their birthdays remembered tproviding the number isn't men. tioned) so she writes notes, sends cards and little gifts. And she trans her memory SO that she knows the favorite dishes and allergies of all the people she ever intends to en- certain.
 Just as she is beginning to be pleased with the results of her efforts lot of writers start advocating file cabinets in which a would.be charming woman keeps all the dates important to her friends, their likes, dislikes, what she served f,T dinner the last time she entertain ed them, etc.
 Now that the system is in full force and e birthday greeting from e faraway friend only means one more card enthusiast, she drops that Idea, and decides she will have to do some thing a little more difficult to impress her friends with her tlnoughtfulness--like staying with the kids while their parents make merry over . weekend.

THE WOMEN- Tough Job Striving To Be So Many Things ou'reNot
WE, THE WOMEN.

She figures. well. she'll concern- trate on poise and brush up her manners until, although she doesn't always do exactly the right thing, she no longer does the wrong thing instinctively.
 But she finds that everyone has been reading the daily etiquette column in the newspaper, as well as every new book that comes out with manners" or etiquette" in the title. And she Is still just run of the mill.
 About this time she is ready to quit struggling to be " woman of charm" and decides to enjoy the few good old friends she has, iri- stead of working ever1astingly to keep them and to make more.

WOMAN,S REALM F
Gloriting Yourself
By Ailcia MsEs
MA ssrviee Staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer You look at yourself in Q full- length mirror just before going out and you're pleased with the rec flection. You face your husband, ask for comment on your appear- arce and he mods approvingly. All is well, you thnik, and you leave the house in self-satisfied mood. However, would you have been as pleased if you had stood back to the mirror and looked at a rear view of yourself in hand mirror Would your husband have nodded so ap- provingly If you had backed into the room?
 In other words, have you learned the importance of the backward glances
 Is the back of your coiffure as flatteri1g to the shape of your head and to your necklire as the front of 1t is to your face? Do you fuss with the waves just above the cars as much as you do with those which sweep back from your forehead? Dn you look at yourself from all angles before deciding that @ new coiffttre is truly becoming?
 It's a mistake to polish the toes of your shoes and forget about the heels. Crooked heels or y1inover lifts are just as ugly as frayed bows or shoe strings from which the metal tips have disappeared. Seeing that stocking seams are absolutely straight is just as important as picking the right side of hose.
 Are your elbows as smooth and soft and white as the front of your arms? Do you put evening makeup on your back as psiiistakingly as you apply 1t to threat, chest and shoulders? During daytime, do you clean the back of your neck srid be- hind your ears as often as you clean throat and face and put on fresh makeup?

the attack.
 Many physicians believe, and I am one of them, that quinine has special efiicacy against the pneuniococcus, the germ chiefly responsible Tor pneumonia and frequently the main factor in cases of acute tonsilitis, quinsy, sinusitis, acute laryngitis (hoarse sore throat), acute bronchi- tis, even acute rfinitis or coryza. Moreover an impressive preponder- ance of clinical reports, statements of experience from physicians in many parts of the world, indicate that quinine has similar efficacy against the bacillus or virus of flu or against both bacillus and virus.
 Formerly l suggested combining uuinine with salicylate and caffeine, for use against flu or other crt. Put the purpose of the salicylate (sodiurn salicylate or salicylic acid ester otherwise known as aspirin) Is only to relieve unbearable ache or pain, so 1t may not be desirable to repeat the dose of salicylate more than once or twice. The caffeine serves only to stimuplate the heart against pos sibie depression by the salicylate. So the caffeine need not be repeated If the salicylate 6 not repeated.
 Now I recommend straight quirline sulphate in one-graiil pill, tablet or capsule, two or three times day throughout the season as prophylac- tic against flu or the cri; two grains twice or three times daily for a week or two during an epidemic; three or four grains every three or four hours as remedy in the ate tack of flu, grip or cri if you cannot have the attendance of a physician. These doses are for adults. For children one-half of these doses.
 A special advantage of quinine against the flu, grip or "calds as scoundrels call the cri, in my opin- ion, is that 1t is . safe remedy. If 1t should fail to prevent or cure the illness at least 1t can do no harm when used as I have recommended

QUTNTNE AGAINST THE FLU

QUTNINE AGAINST THE FLU Fortunately most of the cases in the current outbreak of flu" turn out to be . good deal less serious than influenza you need moi tell me how serious even the mildest cri seems to the victim while the attack is on. I know--T had the crl the other day, for the first time irl many, many years. And 1t wasn't only my great embarrassment and sense Of illustration that made me carry on so alarrningly and mani- fest Q degree of prostration out ot all proportion with the trifiine fever, if any, associated with the at- tack. It was just that I felt that way.
 Two things helped to moderate the severity of the attack and speed re- covery, I believe. First, the admis- sion last spring by a spokesman foz the American Medical association and the New York Medical society that "a cold is never really just g cold"--a fact I have been for years striving to establish in the mind oi the public, the motive, indeed, fol my proposal that we cease calling 1t what 1t never Is, and call 1t cri like honest folk. Cri (kree) means simply that you assume it is one or another of the Common Respiratory Infections and 90 you are warning your friends and associates to be- ware of your conversational spray for you don't want to infect any body, no matter what your cri turns out to be.
 The other blessing was quiniIie.
 Tn the present epidemic, whether your attack is the genuine influenza or just plain old grip, if you ask me I say you may pin your faith on quinine. Not because 1t helped me through my little sample vista ton of the cri, but because 1t is, irl my opinion, the remedy which the worlds physicians universally agree Is valuable both as prophylactic against the flu and as Q remedy foi

 Mrs. Black related how she had been visiting one time in Q strange town. She had had some callers and with fear and trembling she returned their calls, as her aunt advised. At the first house, . big stone place that scared the life out of her, she rang the bell. No one answered. She rang again. Still no one answered. Still no one came. What should she do? She thought she heard sounds within. So she rang . third time.
 Then the door opened and her friends mother stood there in . bathrobe. No, Betty wasn't home. The lady was very short and clos- ed the door quickly.
 Sid Mrs. Black, T still have nightmares about 1t. l should not have rung that bell again. They would think I didn't know anything.

 Washington, Feb. 24-The capi- tals annual crop of debutantes is as reliable an indicator of business conditions as ticker tape. And lot easier on the eyes.
 When the stock market is up Washington has a bumper crop of about 65 debs Expressions may lower the yield to 35 or less. The current list is 54.
 Association of debutante and bank account is almost inevitable in Washington. But there are many budding socialites in the army and navy sets who are presented at small teas at home.

ALL THE SOCIAL GARAGES

In most cases, however. the Wash- ington debutane is the daughter of a man who has both position and money. He may be a cabinet offi- cer, foreign diplomat, or the big gest banker in Sioux Falls.
 The typical Washington deb has gone to good school. She hasn't had to be ashamed of the street on which she lived. She has learned to dance, can muddle through a Chopin prelude at the piano. She has been taught to play tennis, or golf, to ride or ice skate. About half of the debutante crop each season is composed of girls whose parents have established Washington residence while they were growing up. And about half of them descend on the capital with their mamas, unknown and unknow- ing.

THE EXPENSE VARIES

The deb can come out at home. at hotel or club, by giving . small tea or Q luncheon for other debs which will cost little more than $l00.
 If she has ball 1t will cost from $500 to $3000 with one of the local bands. Getting an orchestra from New York adds another $l200 to the bill. With the bargain rate ball, she gets punch and a light supper. If she wants to serve champagne, papa must peel of 15 or more $l0o bills.
 The deb Is introduced by Mrs. Dunlop to young men from the state department, West Point and Annapolis as well as to the scions of residential society. With 8 little prodding from Bessie, the boys will dance at least once an evening with deb whom Hollywood will not pur- sue with Q contract.
