Clarifying
Yourself
Nv Alicia Hart
BY Alicia Hart

If, In spite of her staying In bed
"a hours and drinking quantities OF
liquids at the first sign of sniffles,
her head cold gets off to a head
start, the sensible woman sees her
doctor at oncei From then on, she
follows his advice. about gargling,
using a. nasal spray, getting more
rest and drinking more liquids.
In addition, however - since the
chances are that she can't COM
pletely hibernate until the cold
has run It's course and disappear
ed-she figures out ways to APP
pear reasonably presentable in the
meantime.
For one thing, she asks her
doctor to recommend an eye lotion
to be used according to his direc-
lions to eliminate the red, swollen
look around eyes and the bloodshot
streaks In them. During this period
she doesn't wear mascara at all
daytime or evening. She may, how.
ever, If eyelids are red, apply a bit
of eye-shadow in brown or SONS
other natural color.
WHAT,
NO ROUGE?
The chances are that she'll givt
up rouge at least until the flush.
cd look leaves her face and throat
She'll wear indelible lipsticl
which won't smear, no matter how
often she has to use handkerchief
She may use a slightly heave
foundation preparation to give he
complexion a smooth, satiny finisl
seldom found naturally in the ski
Of one suffering from a bad head O
chest cold. She'll repowder often
She'll keep her hair clean and shin
ing by brushing and some kind o
dry shampoo treatment until tn
doctor soys she can have 1t washes
once week again.
She'll drench her face an
throat in night cream each an
| every night and use special III
salve to prevent chapping aroun
nose as well as lips. And she'll use
scalp lotion Of some sort to counter
act the unpleasant effects the aver
age cold has ON the average head Q
hair. In other words, although Sh
may have the cold for what seem
like eternity, she won't be an I'm
4 pleasant sight during the time sh
has It.

"Neat as a pin," is this crisp, at
tractive matron's housefrock for

Pattern 935. It's such an easy style
that even a f1rst-triy dressmaker
could stitch it up quickly, especially
with the Eewing Guides expert
help. Why not make gay cotton
dress first; then use the same pat
tern for an afternoon style of wool
or crepe. You'll like the becoming
fullness Of the six-goye skirt with
it's bias center panels. And see the
nice shape of the squared-of neck
line that's higher than a v but just
as comfy. Use ric-rac or braid
for a CHEEKY trim on the at-home
style; cut the sleeves short and, IL
you wish, add roomy. convenient
pockets. Then, for the stepping
out frock, have a scalloped collar
and tiny bow-tie of self fabric or
contrast. The sleeves are smart
either three-quarter Of full-length

fit at the wrists and plenty of ell

says, TIA rather die" when her
mother suggests that she invite the
most popular boy In town to her
club dance.
She thinks that by pointing out
the tricks the local glamor girl uses
her own shy daughter can be
shaken out Of her awe Of her.
The sad thing Is, though the
mothers ideas seem logical, the girl
Is right.
II she invited the new Toy over
to her house and he came. she
wouldn't get anywhere with him. He
would resent being hooked in by
girl the other boys ignored, and he
would drop her to start pursuing
one Of the popular girls the moment
he had them spotted.
She can't ask the good-looking
boy with the good-looking car to
her club dance, because even If she
screwed up courage he would have
polite excuse--and IN all likelihood
he would tell a few people that she
had asked him.
She knows the tricks the neigh
borhood glamor girl uses. But she
can't quite put them over herself.
SO what good does 1t do her to see
through the girl? The boys don't.
FUTURE Is FAR
MORE IMPORTANT
The mother ought to accept things
as they are at present-and concen-
trate her efforts on seeing that the
daughter develops into the kind OF
girl who is popular at 20 instead
Of 16.
BY that time she will be dating
men old enough to appreciate in
telligence-and to make UP their
own minds about a girl, instead OF
following the crowd.
It's a funny thing, but the most
charming and successful women
seldom were terrific" at 16. Both
a mother and daughter ought To
realize that-and not be licked by
the decision Of 10 year old boys.

We wonder whether anything
can be done, writes a reader, to
wooden clothing, sweaters, coats,
shirts, stockings, hats, shoes, etc,
which have been worn by a person
who had tuberculosis, to make
them safe for another person to
wear.
Another reader advises that a
dictionary might have helped me to
given lucid distinction between
contagious and infectious. My ex-
PLANTATION, the reader suggests, was
merely an attempt to allay fear OF
infection with tuberculosis. As
suredly tuberculosis is perfect
example of an infectious disease,
but from what I wrote who IN heck
would know why?
In reply to the first query, or
binary laundering washing with
plain soap and water, and ironing
clothes that may be ironed, will
make the clothing perfectly safe
for any one to wear. A days air
ing and summing, II any sunshine
available, will make the hats, shoes,
gloves, furs perfectly safe, Dry
cleaning will 4, make, any clothing
not washable in water, safe.
There Is no better disinfectant
or antiseptic than soap and water
especially hot water. OF course
boiling sterilizes anything. Ironing
does too.
Sterilize means to render free
from germs. Antisept;c Is any
agent that diminishes or discour-
ages the, growth and multiplication
of germs. Distinction means de.
struction Of disease germs or theil
carriers (insect or vermin).
Infection means invasion Of body

AS the reader mentions, tubercu

other common respiratory infec
fections (such as diphtheria, measles
pneumonia, influenza, whoopin
