WALLPAPER ESSENTIAL

To meet the requirements of the modern housewife. wallpaper must have at least three essentials. Im- portantly, it must have style and atmosphere to provide the most charming background for her as well as for her housefurnishings. But durability is necessary too. And for this it should have weight and quail fly and colorfastness, which means not only non-fading from sunlight but, if of the washable type, clean ability without deterioration of shading or texture. Consistency of design to assure perfect matching ot pattern is the third essential. Re- gently an organization was formed to insure the purchaser of all these requirements. Only papers that meet these specifications are allowed to use Its seal of approval.

Little do Bob and Jane know whom they disturb as they charge into their movie seats! A pair they'd like to know better-the popular, well-bred young Browns!
 And right now the Browns are signing, What can you expect of people who don't know that the girl should enter the row first!"
 Yet such points of etiquette are simple enough to learn. On dou- ble date at the movies one man en- ters the row first, the two girls next, the other man last.
 At danceS-crude for man to ask a girl, Have you got this dance taken?" But smooth and correct is Shall we dance this?" Nor does a well-bred girl make herself conspi- cuous by traipsing across the dance floor alone, but asks her escort to take her.
 Very formal parties with re- ceiving line? No hesitations when you know it's proper for the girl to precede the man down the line, introduce herself and her escort to the person at the head.
 Have better times, win new friends by knowing fine points of etiquette. Our 32-page booklet ex- plains manners for movies, dancing, formal parties, other occasions. Gives pointers on introductions, correct dress, good form at games.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of ETIQUETTE FOR YOUNG MODERNS to the Waterbury Dem Ocrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

WOMAN,S REALM
Hollywood Stars Rush the Calendar In Hot Weather Checks and Prints
LIGHTWEIGHT FROCKS AND STRAW HATS BLOOM IN "SUkAMER" SUN
BY LUCE NEVILLE

BY LUCIE NEVILLE
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Hollywood-Thec calendar seems to have skipped month into mid- spring, and everybody is simply dropping with energy while the thermometer sneaks into the sos. Hollywood's outdoor cafes are open for drinks with lots of ice and mint in them, and the most popular noon places are swank department stores that serve fashion show with the low-calorie luncheon.
 The solid black and brown dresses that were being worn only 3 few weeks ago under mink coats are as out of place now as the furs them selves, and there has been 8 con- certed scramble for something live ly in checks and prints. Suede access sories are back in the closet, and white sandals, straw bags and ging- ham gloves are taking their place.
 Virginia Bruce wore gingham checks for luncheon date at Per- rino's last week-just gingham, but far from the kitchen class, in dressmaker suit with fitted jacket and box-pleated skirt. Her hat and gloves were also of the black-and- white checked cotton, sensible for warm weather, and her white toyo straw had binding of black gros- grain.
 White sandals and a bright red, fresh carnation in the jacket lapel look fresh and gay.
 Bette Davis, too, has an armload of new things, and can't wear them while she's working in "The Old Maid". She's building a costume around certain hat-as good a way as any to start, if the hat is as pret- ty as this one.
 It's a shirred chiffon turban of periwinkle blue, its two scarves hanging to the hemline in the back = more dramatic than Miss Davis usually wears. But she saw it, and it was one of those must have's". Now she's looking for black chiffon dresS-very tailored and all pleats, she says. She prob- ably will have to have it made, to be exactly right.
 Florence Rice, headed for Honolu- lu, is taking along a necklace of clam shells-wampum, maybe, to swap for a native string. She has matched her big cartwheel hat of natural colored straw with an envelope bag and spool-heeled sandals.

NOT HOW MUCH BUT HOW
 WELL.

Here is 8 query typical of many: Having just recovered from the worst attack of quinsy ever had, my doctor says I must have my tonsils out. am afraid of opera tion, yet cannot afford to pay g big fee for diathermy treatment. My doctor said diathermy extirpa- ton of topsils costs not less than $15O, whereas can have my ton- sils removed by operation at the ........ clinic for $75.
 So would appreciate 1t if you will refer me to a clinic in ........ or in ........ where I can get the diathermy treatment for a reason- able sum. Or if not, then could you give me a list of doctors who can extirpate tonsils with diathermy, so I can see what they would charge me.
 As I have two children I am afraid if anything happens to me do not know what would look after them. (Mrs. H. S.)
 My province is health and hy- giene, not economics. I have no knowledge of the fees or costs of medical or surgical services and am unable to inform you whether this or that doctor or specialist will give you professional services at less than the rates or fees cus- tomary in the community. If I were in this correspondents place believe I'd choose the dia- thermy method, for two reasons. First, because 1t is comparatively SAFE. Second, because 1t does not require disqualification or absence from work for even day. If SIS is fair fee for surgical removal of tonsils in the corre- spondent's community, then $150 would seem commensurate for dia- thermy extirpation of torfsils, which requires far greater skill. There has been a slump in the tonsillectomy business in the past ten years, even in Yankeeland where it is hard to find 8 doctor who isn't surgeon. The slump is due primarily to the development of the modern method, diathermy or electro-coagulation, which has proved not only SAFER but also MORE COMFORTABLE than the old Spanish method. As for results, only 8 purblined incompetent still cherishes the quaint fancy that dissection or guillotine and snare is in any way more thorough or ef- fective.
 It is my constant endeavor to be fair and reasonable. But I wish correspondents would understand why I cannot recommend in any case a doctor or specialist who is reasonable" if by that the corre- spondent means one who charges less than the customary fees in his community. I would not recommend 8 doctor unless I believed him worthy of his hire.
 Sodium Nitrite
 I have been getting considerable relief by taking one-grain tablets of sodium nitrite about three times a day. I have high blood pressure. Are these tablets harmful? (Mrs. c. C)
 Answer-No. If you would like to have booklet "CVD"-it deals with heart disease, angina, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, etc., send ten cents coin and stamped envel- ope bearing your address. Do not send clipping.

the music thereof, have been caught
up by the Colored Elks of the World
and they are going to synchronize
this spirit, not for an Infantile Para
1ysis Foundation. but for the building
of an Old Folks Home, Shrine, and
contribute further to their Educational
and Civil Liberties Departments.
The Grand Exalted Ruler and his
cabinet are being commended on every
hand for catching the spirit of the
times in the matter OF Social Security
For, no Race needs more vision and
caution in looking to the future of its
old and decrepit than the Colored
Race at this time
To that end, on Easter Monday
Night, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson
will give the signal for the music o.
thousands of bathrooms to converge
into one homogeneous blend through.

One of the features which is at.
tracing so much attention, is that the
cabinet will give away prize to tht
one who sells the largest number O
tickets to the Ball, and this prize vii
be the choice of Ford, Chevrolet, Of
