Poised, attractive, ready for any event of busy spring day or in formal evening .. that's how Pat tern 793 makes the matron look! And who but Claire Tilden could have given this notched- style such siimlined charm and such comfort? Take the yoke and study how cleverly it balances the skirt panel.

When she scoots past mirrors, in stead of looking into them. When she wonders if she is loved.
 When she feels like Trump sit ting across the luncheon table from woman who did her spring shop ping early.
 When she is tempted to turn down an invitation with some made-up excuse.
 When she wonders if her work isn't slipping.
 When she finds herself being apologetic, for no good reason. When the latest fashion maga- zine makes her sick. When the sunshine looks too bright. When she is tempted to say q can't" instead of pitching in and doing a good job of something hard.
 When she starts worrying aoout the shape of her nose. When there is no warmth or sparkle in her greetings. It all happens in day, and the weight of it is enough to send a woman scuttling to a psychiatrist. Only she knows all she needs is a good spring tonic.
 And so she winds up with the silliest, goodfiest, gayest, most I'm-a-spoiled- darling hat she can find.

Youth is not a time of life, wrote some philosopher, it is state of mind. A nineteenth century poet said a man is as old as he's feeling a woman is as old as she looks. A twentieth century wag insisted a man is not old until he stops lock- ing. Claude Bernard, a great French physiologist, said Q man is as old as his arteries. Sir Wm. Osler, fa- nous Canadian physician and teach- CT, of the United States and Eng land, maintained that longevity is a vascular question, that is, it de- pends on the state of the arteries.
 To Osler and other physicians of his time 1t seemed that man was born with good material or poor material in his arteries, and that determined how long man would live. Today medical opinion does not grant heredity so much irn- portance. The older fatalistic view was based on morbid anatomy mainly, postmortem study, the path ology of the Oslerian era of medi- cine. The modern view is based rather on newer knowledge of nu- triton and of functional phenom- ena, physiology. Modern medicine has no specific against old age, premature senility or arteriosclero- sis, but we know that if the de- generation process which we call ar- teriosclerosis people commonly re- gard as old age is taken in time, in the incipient stage, the application of good hygiene and obedience to reasonable rules of health in the way you live will reverse the pro- cess and bring about regeneration.
 Regeneration is rejuvenation, in the Websterian sense of the word Webster says rejuvenate means ito render young or youthful again; to reinvigorate; to impart renewed vitality, too.
 I do not mean to imply that the degeneration known to laymen as old age and to doctors as arterio- sclerosis never begins before 30, but only that, 1t is seldom frankly diag- nosed before the third decade. For instance among men per cent of the cases of arteriosclerosis are first diagnosed in the third decade, IS per cent in the fourth, 30 per cent in the fifth and the remaining 50 per cent after 60. Among women less than per cent of the cases are first recognized in the fourth decade, 6 per cent in the fifth, 35 per cent after 60-formerly we wondered how the women managed to keep their arteries so nice and soft, and today we wonder still more, in view of the way young women have gone in for smoking and drinking. may be wrong about this, but I proph- esy that these young women who think 1t smart ao drink and smoke today will in the course of 10 or 20 years have arteries as hard as their

Mrs. Brown makes a charming impression on her new neighbors- but what will they think of MT. Browns manners? He fails to tip his hat when MT. Tone raises his in greeting to Mrs. Brown.
 True, MT. Brown hasn't met MT. Tone, but a man should always raise his hat when his woman com- panion is greeted by another man or woman.
 Simple to learn such points of etiquette-but how important they are in making contacts!
 After chatting with some delight full person you've just met, do you wonder who should express pleasure at the introduction-the man or the girl? The man should say I'm glad to have met you" The girl replies with Smiling T hope we shall meet again soon," or just pleas ant "Thank you."
 When telephoning, it's incorrect to ask to whom you're speaking, be- fore you've given your own name. When a servant is at fault, it's bad form to criticize her in the presence of guests.
 Be sure of yourself-in public, when entertaining at home. Our 32-page booklet gives correct eti- quette for you and your family when travelling and visiting, at dances and the theater, on the street, at the country club.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of ETIQUETTE: THE CORRECT THING TO DO to the Waterbury Democrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, AID DRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

GLOritying Yourself

 Amazing results are almost im- possible to achieve within a short space of time, of course.
 However, If you just didn't get around to doin much about your ap- pearance during the past month you might very well decide to devote the next week to doing the best you can to prepare your hair for your Easter permanent and new coiffure, your figure for new clothes, your skin for new makeup.
 Naturally, the worst thing you possibly could do at this point would be to try to lose great deal of weight. Quick reducing is dangerous. Don't go on a fad diet or refuse to eat anything at all for days and days. And don't exercise violently. You can't expect your body to re- act favorably to any such radical change from a comparatively sedentary life life.
 You can, however, go on liquid diet for one day. Say tomorrow. Be- gin the day with 8 large glass of hot water into which you have squeezed the juice of one large lemon. During the day, have clear soups, oranges and tomato juice, milk, plenty of water. The remaining six days of the week, have breakfasts which consist of fruit and hot beverage only.
 Lunch on green salads and fruit, stewed or fresh. If you get too hungry between meals, nibble plain lettuce or celery or raw carrots or drink fruit juice. You can have one portion of everything on the dinner menu, but no second helpings mad no dessert, unless you finish your salad.
 In addition, walk one mile a day and sleep eight hours every night, whether it's convenient or not. Brush your hair for five minutes once a day. Use your night cream every single night. Leave nail lac- quer off for a week, polishing nails daily with buffer and applying cuticle cream or oil every night.
 Along about next Thursday, give your face a mask treatment and your feet pedicure. The following day, remove superfluous hair from legs and under arms.
 By the end of your Spartan week" you ought to look and feel like 8 new-and more attractive person, a bit better prepared for a new permanent and in a mood for flattering Easter clothes.

knowledge any disease which is at all contagious must be infectious, caused by one or another organism, germ, parasite; but many infectious diseases are not contagious, not communicable through casual con- tact. Popularly the terms "conta- gious" and infectious" are applied indiscriminately.
 Anti-Acid
 Advised that milk of magneSia taken before retiring will prevent a lot of stomach ailments. Please give your opinion of this. c. P. D.
 Answer-Harmless for occasional use, where an anti-acid and mild lxative is required. But I do not believe it prevents any ailment. Best ant-acid know is calcium carbon ate, one or two five-grain tablets neutralizing excessive acidity of stomach for hours, without disturb ing acidbase balance in blood as other alkalies do.

 People who live fast should ex- pect to die young. Women are peo- pie. In virtually all cases of CVI (cardiovascular degeneration, pre- mature breakdown or wearing out of herat and arteries) a period of hy- pertension (high blood pressure) precedes the onset of the actual arteriosclerosis. Among the things which send up the blood pressure smoke is almost as certain as adre- nim itself. Young women are too susceptible to the insidious appeal of the cigaret and cocgtail propa- ganda. Not that a woman hasn't the same right, privilege or excuse a man has to smoke or drink or chew or frequent bars or other resorts for such purposes. But it cuts down her charm more than she can afford.
