Smart little maids from school know that there's nothing like a trim, tailored two-piecer to capture highest honorS in classroom style. There's gay versatility in Pattern 234-a Claire Tilden triumph for teen agers. First see the faring, Ight-hearted skirt that has EIGHT panels for extra swinging fullness. Wouldn't it be stunning in the pop ular corduroy? The optional sus- bender straps are smart and very useful in holding the skirt in place.

The same pattern can also be used with 8 lightweight fabric, making a blouse to wear either beneath the plaid top or with the skirt alone, for another costume. Make it with either long or short sleeves. You might rather have both pieces in matching fabric, for 8 two-piece dress. This looking outfit will be your daughters favorite school day companion-you'l enjoy its easy making too.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU CALL EAI?
 If you were half the scholar you pretend to be you would. learn the definitions of the words you use, writes well Meaning Crank" who informs me that a somersault is a complete revolution in the air, either front, side or back. If you had remembered your high school Latin or French, continues Crank, you would have found the word scrnersault is derived from the Latin supra (above) and saltus Ga leap) or the French soubre and sault. So, mon cher savant, don't be so depressed and exasperated when your readers or .correspond- entS understand better than your self what you are trying to say.
 In the New York Medical Jour nal long ago, I reported my obser- vations on the therapeutic value of rolls before breakfast. In that re- port I deplored the confusion of N. Webster's somersauItS with mine. maintained that Webster's "leap in which person turns his heels over his head, forward or backward, without touching the ground" is not a sornersault at all, but an airspring. To perform an airSpring the acrobat must leap or spring into the air. In contrast to that, 8 somersault, as define it-and do it every morning for the benefit of my circulation is simple maneuver easily within the capacity of any one not bedrid- den or crippled and from four to eighty years of age. Turning my somersaultS you never lose contact with the floor, mat or ground. You just curl up tightly and roll over coming up on your feet of course.
 More specific instructions together with indications for turning somer- Saults are given in Invitation to the Somersaultauqua' available on re- quest if you incloSe stamped en- velope bearing your address. Morn ing and evening rolls, half a dozen or dozen before breakfast and be- fore retiring, tend to counteract the evil consequences of flabbiness, softness, sedentary habit, or at least to counteract the splanchnic blood stasiS due to such abnormal exist ence. A large portion of the entire volume of blood in the body may stagnate in the vast network of vessels in the abdomen, and somer- saults help to put some of this blood back into circulation.
 A clergyman who sought advice about health wrote Your heresy is delightful" implying that even though am out of line about colds, uric acid, rheumatism, nervous ex- haustion and autointoxication, still my views are amusing when one is not too ill to enjoy them. Perhaps some people who regard Webster as a better authority than I am agree with the clergyman. All right. l can only offer my medicine-you needn't take it if you think it is too silly.
 At that, Webster hedges bit, for he gives a second definition of scmersaul5 as "a turning end over end" News movies, If I recall showed the late Luther Burbank rolling somersaults Grady fashion, on his lawn on his roth or 18th birthday.
 I ask you, if you can't call 'enl somersaults what do you call 'em?

Boring his partner to tears with his endless march, march, march around the dance fioorl
 Lots of naen-and girls, too o-get the reputation of being poor dancers because they don't know enough steps. They think they've learned the fox-trot, for instance, when they know the dance walk.
 To be in demand at dancing par ties, learn smart variations at home from directions and diagrams. Be able to combine steps.
 Even the perennial fox-trot seems like a brand-new dance when you know such simple variations as the Side-C Close Left.
 Count 1-Step forward on left foot. 2 Step forward on right. B. Place left a short distance to side of right. 4-Close with right.
 Reverse the process, starting on your right foot, and you have still another step. Then, with walking steps plus tricky-looking variations like the Two-Step Turn you have a combination that wins admiring "Ah's!"
 You can as easily learn steps in the smart rtinba, the tango. Our 32-page booklet gives diagrams and directions for basic steps and var iations of the waltz, fox-trot, Vest chester, shag, rumba, samba, tango and Conga. Includes the Peabody and Lindy Hop. Shows how to lead, follow.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of HOW TO DO THE NEWEST DANCE STEPS AND VARIATIONS to Waterbury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

Your Age Is a Secret
 Just Not Worth Keeping
WE, THE WOMEN

working 8 crossword puzzle. And last, but not least, it doesn't necessarily follow that if g. wom- an refuses to tell her age, her friends will underestimate it. Their guess may add five years to the &C., tual figure. Funny that never occurs to women.
 DON'T MAKE AGE
 SEEM IMPORTANT
 The best plan is to be casual and off-hand about your age. If anyone so much as hints that your age might be a very interesting fact tell 1t
 And don't-unless you are a bet- ter liar than most people subtract five years from it. If you subtract five, your friends will probably doubt you to the extent of adding ten.
 If you don't want your age to become the most discussed thing about you among your friends let them know how old you are.
 Then they can forget your age and speculate on someone else's. Nobody's age is interesting once it is known

 Color experts and interior deco rators are doing their best to helr every woman plan rooms which set off her own good looks, thereby llp- Hft!ng her spirits and making her "at home hours more gracious. To the long suffering husband whose eyebrows shoot upward at the thought of living in 8 house which was decorated mainly to make an ideal seeting for the little woman's beauty, they offer g sound argument to calm his outburst.
 "If your wife is happy with the results in the newly ecorated house and feels that the living room does something for her as well as suits the farnily's mode of living, the entire household will beenfit by her contented, self satisfied frame of mind" they point out.
 The experts don't elaborate cnu that theme. But I think they might have added that a woman likes to stay in room she loves. And, for this reason, the right setting might solve variotions of the "you-never-take-me- anywhere" ar- guments.
 TRY ON A
 BRUNETTE ROOM
 At the Alexander Smith exhibit in the home center at Rocke- feller Center, there are rooms to be ''tried on''. (You stand before magic mirror and see yourself, scaled down to miniature propor- tions in any one of five miniature, model rooms.) And there are other color harmony groups to see.
 The brown-haired woman can ''try on" room done with her brunette beauty specifically in mind. Warm, medium tones to bring color into her face and to accent the lights in her hair are used. The carpet in this room is glowing maple tan. The walls are fresh, pale green. The draperies are rose, and the chairs green, chartreuse and maple. In the peachglow room, for a Titan -haired beauty, the rug is glowing peach, the walls a win- derful turquoise, the curtains deep blue-green, upholstered chairs in green and peach. It is the perfect setting for flaming hair and deh- cate skin.
 For the silver-haired woman who has bluing rinses, room in jewel colors to dramatize the blue lights in her hair is recommended The rug is jewel green; drapery and upholstery fabrics ruby red; the walls turquoise. Some chairs are covered with turquoise and ruby striped materials.
 NO HARD, FAST
 RULES ON COLOR
 Obviously. there are no har dand fast rules about which colors to use as a setting for specific types. The experts offer a wealth of al- lternatives. They take into consider ation that you may not like a color, even though it is becoming to you. They want you to be at ease against your color scheme background just as you are at ease about the most satisfactory dresses in your ward- robe.
 But they do, and rightly, ad- wise you at least ot consider your own coloring when planning a room.
 If yellow is anathema to you, why put a yellow slip cover on the divan any more quickly than you would buy a yellow dress? Or, if you are a redhead, why uphol- ster your boudoir chair in pink 8 color you wouldn't dream of wearing?

 Answer-No, it is not inherited. It can do you no harm to try eating four or five ounces of fresh wheat germ daily-raw as cereal, mixed with any other cereal, incorporated in recipes calling for flour (wheat germ in place of half the fiour), or taken in tablespoonfuls stirred in fruit juice or tomato juice.
