How often French words crop up these days, in conversation, dining especially in shopping. Yet wo- men continually garble PARFUM into PAR-FUME, CHIC into CHICK
 French pronunciation is really simple with few guiding rules and you can quickly pick up phrases for French conversation.
 The JIM in PARFUM is a French nasal sound. You don't sound the N or M following a nasal vowel but give the vowel itself nasal twang. Pronounce the U in PARFUM like U in fun, PAR-FUH, Lanvin, the name of the French designer, is pronounced LAH-VAH. AU GRA- TIN is OH GRATAH. You give the French IN the sound of "a" in sang.
 As for CHIC-the French CHI is pronounced In most cases like the SH in SHAME. Say SLEEK. CHA PEAU is SHAPOH. The CHASSIS of a car is SHA-SEE.
 Cuii W BO OiA O SohVCIohJAOlldl phrases. Good morning" is Bon JOUR (BOH JOUR).. To express the thought I'm very glad to meet you" the French say ENCHANTE (AH-SHAHTAY).
 You can soon grasp French fun- damentals with our 32-page booklet as your guide. Gives rules of pro- nunciation, grammar, useful conver- sational French for shopping, res- taurants, travel.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of TEACH YOURSELF TO SPEAK FRENCH to the Waterbury Demo- crat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

 You've been a good girl about sticking to your diet, brushing your hair and keeping the polish on your nails. And you've really learned to put into practice the rules you read about buying clothes to suit your type and figure. You're chic these days. Others think 50, too, because they tell you.
 However, are you quite sure that they have as high an opinion of your smartness after they have conn- plimented you as they had before? Think carefully. If you never have learned to accept compliments charmingly, then the answer is no.
 Chic or smartness, after all, has to do with you, your manners and man. nerisms, as well as with your make up and clothes. She who says, why, I can't imagine why you like this," when someone finishes telling her how nice her new hat is proclaims her lack of boise. And there's no chic without boise.
 If you don't know how to accept compliments charmingly, it's high time you learned. Being brusk, almost to the point of rudeness, simply to cover up embarrassment, is 8 little sad but not exactly excusable.
 JUST PRACTICE
 ACCEPTING PRAISE
 The ideal way to get into the habit of accepting compliments, thus rak- ing the payer of them feel pretty good in return, is to practice with a member of your family or some good friend who won't think you're silly just because you want to correct a fault. Let her tell you how nice you look over and over until you can say, Thanks so much. I'm glad you think so-" without feeling embarrassed or looking it.
 The only other method Is to have two-way conversations with yourself while standing in front of mirror. Either method will work if you stick to 1t, firm in your determination to be a poised individual who can look and act as gracious as you really are inside.

fatigue is. Not everybody compre' hends that 1t is usually a mani festation of disease or impairment of health and not just sheer in' dolence. For instance the languol of the early teens duoe to lack of sufficient iodine; the shiftlessr1ess of pellagra victims. (nutrition irn- paired by insufficient intake of vit- amin- B -complex); the hamilton of individuals suffering from hook worm infestation; the strange ap- athy, in one not ordinarily so dis- posed, from anoxia of exposure to carbon monoxide in small amounts in the air; and the melancholic or dull inactivity that comes to the woman formerly vivacious and cheerful, when her thyroid function slows up bit These are more or less frequent causes of, chronic fat- igue. A cause too often overlooked, usually because 1t is not looked for, but always to be borne in mind as possible explanation for con- stant tired feeling in youth or adolescence, is incipient pulmonary tuberculosis.
 Perhaps more frequent than any of the causes of chronic fatigue mentioned is moderate nutritional anemia due to insufficient daily in- take of vitamin B-complex. AL though this extremely prevalent type of anemia (hypochromic anemie) responds well to treatment with large doses of iron Cat least hun- dred times as much iron as the blood requires), provided the diet is not unduly restricted, 1t is now pretty clearly established that an adequate daily intake of vitamin B-complex is the best assurance that the blood will get all the iron 1t needs (about one-fourth of 8 grain a day) from ordinary foods, for the vitamin B-complex (per- haps vitamin c, otherwise known as B-2 or riboflavin particularly controls the assimilation and reten- ton of iron.
 The characteristic condition of the tongue in cases of well marked yitamin B-complex deficiency com- monly accompanies chronic fatigue and malonychotrophy, if you will pardon the monstrosity. The tongue is red and shiny, pointed rather than rounded, and often feels sore or burning - sufferers sometimes ascribe the burning to "acid fruits" or to other items of diet.
 Perhaps only the trained physi- clan can recognize the tongue in- dication of malnutrition in mild cases. Almost any one can arrive at fair idea of the condition of the nails. The typical effects of vitamin deficiency shown by the nails are slow growth (normally 1t requires three to five months to grow fingernail, twice as long to grow a toenaiD, transverse ridg- ing, pitting, fragility, thinness, spoon nails. Probably shortage in daily sunshine vitamin D intake con- tributes toward poor nutrition of the nails.

Aneinper oI the 1amlly."
 When they arrive they refuse to say when" Most hostesses don't mind the length of visits nearly 50 much as uncertainty about their length.
 They seldom have the decency to go off by themselves-under some pretext or other-for whole af- ternoon, giving weary, though still smiling hostess a chance to let down a bit.
 They sleep peacefully on in the morning, so that the maid has two breakfasts to cook. And they never suggest going out for lunch, so that the maid has another extra meal to get ready in the middle of the day. Apparently they forget en- tirely that the thought of losing good maid is more terrifying to

paint of the desired color. Fol- low directions on the label. A more satisfactory job is obtained by us- ing three coats of flat paint, al- lowing each to dry thoroughly be- fore applying the next. Brush the coaAS out thin and See that the paint does not settle in clots in the grooves and fittings. Smooth each coat with very fine sandpaper to remove brush marks and wipe off the dust before applying the next coat. Finish with two coats of high grade enamel, following directions on the label, allowing each to dry before applying next. It is always best to use good grade of paint or enamel.

INDUSTRY ANTICIPATES

Some of the finest paprika-that fiavorsome, colorful condiment we use to add zest and life to our daily dishes-now comes from Hungary. Originally most of the paprika used in this country was imported from Spain. The Spanish war practically put an end to this source. Then 1t was discovered that climate and soil con- ditions in Hungary are perfectly suit able for its production. Skill in reap ing and grinding the seed is required to assure a fine-textured product.

LONELINESS
 WON'T HURT

A little loneliness won't hurt them. As long as they are comfortable, their emotions can stand the strain of parting just as well as human beings can.
 Here are some rules for the dog in summer; water changed twice a day; all pans washed out well every day; frequent bathing; a cool place to sleep; exercise in the cool CT parts of the day; no feeding when exhausted. Also, no rich pastries, candy or sweets.
 Food should consist of meats, raw as well as cooked; fish, vegetables for roughage, and no starch. Pre- pared foods are maue to suit your dog. However, read directions care- fully. Table scraps are all right, If they are nourishing. A dog loves a bone but he cannot live on bones. Indeed, too many are distinctly bad for him. If he likes raw eggs, give him one now and then. Tainted meat is as bad for an animal as for Q person.
 No teasing, tell the children. Tempers are sometimes unpredic- table in animals in hot weather just as they are in people.
 Your sincerely,
 OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.
