A pert, crisp turban i'm moonlight silver belting wraps around the head and ties in 8 provocative bow at the front. Turbans are big news in col lectiOns of Easter bonnets.
 Incidentally, a smooth-crowned coi- ffure with fluffinesS at the front just above the forehead is the per- feet background for a calot.
 The typically Easter bonnet" kind of hat may be tiny sailor, a little tricorne, flower pot shape or a small cloche. But it will be of straw, and it will be laden with flowers and yelling or with navy and white or black and white feather wings and wisp of yelling. In other words, it will be anything but casual.
 Not that casual, wearable, prac- tical hats aren't popular. For tweeds even town tweeds-for country weekends, for general running slightly deeper crowns can't be beat. about, the snap-brim felts with

 FRENCH MODISTE
 FEATURES TOQUE
 In Paris, Legroux Soeurs feature the squared toque, which, in the hand, resembles a little candy box. On the head, however, it is utterly across the brow, of course.
 Also in the Legroux Soeurs col- lection are Dutch bonnets to be worn under square hats or under the more tailored canotiers. These replace the snood, which, by the way, is seldom seen this spring.
 Talbot, inspired by the 18th cen- tury frilled caps, attaches variations of them to tiny sailors, tams, cano- tiers and other shapes, perched well over the eyes. Agnes uses silk jersey for cocktail hats which are distinct ly Orential looking.

STAG LINE WILL
 BECOME DOE LINE
 Stag lines, will grow smaller and smaller until finally the girls wil form the stag ines and cut in on the men. Socially, every year will be Leap Year0
 Girls will have to marry men younger than they are, in order to have husband in their old age.
 The men-being so much in de- mand as husbands-will certainly reinstate the dowry system. And they'll probably do g. lot of look ing around-making sure they get the biggest dowry possible. IT DOESN'T
 LOOK so GOOD
 Women will have to win their dates with presents. They'll bring them pipes and neckties when they call to take them out
 Women-because of their su- perior health will hold doors open for men, assist them on and of street cars, carry their pack ages, jump to light their cigar cites.
 They'll probably even go to war to protect their men and children.
 No, the far future looks black. Being 8 woman in the year 5000 will be even tougher than in 1940.

 Figure -molding Easter fashions call for slim hips as well as a slim waistline. This is no season for bulges. Now is the time for the Wo- man who is overweight to plan to lose few pounds. Exercises and strict adherence to low calory diet are the only answer of course.
 Unless her doctor advises other wise, she may try for one week a diet with quantities of fruit, but no starches or sweets.
 During the week, if she doesn't t cheat at a single meal, she may lose from three to five pounds. When the week is over, she'll go back to regular menus, but will re- solve never to have second help ing of anything and never to eat between meals.
 "MY WIFE IS
 The special seven-day diet might be this one:
 BREAKFAST: 2 whole oranges or l whole grapefruit; black coffee. II A. M.: 2 whole oranges.
 LUNCH: cup of clear consomime; half of head of lettuce with min- eral oil dressing; whole oranges.
 5 F. M: 2 whole oranges.

LOOK AT YOUR FACE BEFORE | DOCKING AT HATS

"The older, gray-haired woman will find sailor hats hattering. Turbans, too, providing they dip over one eye and show the hair at the side.
 "If you wear your hair straight, try turban with height at the front.
 If you are very young, and your forehead is not low, try chignOn turban with loops at the back and a flower over one ear. Make no mistake, this type of turban was made for the young, and for the young only"

Varied Enough to Meet AnyOne's Preferences

 New York-1n springs fashion parade there's the right hat for every woman. The variety of shapes, colors and trimmings from which to pick and choose couldn't possibly he wider. This is indeed season when it's no trouble at all for any girl to find exactly what is becoming to her.
 There are sailors galore, from tiny ones of white straw, with navy veil- ing to enormous, perenially fiatter- ing cartwheels with both straight and off-the-face brims.
 TURBANS NEED
 PROFESSIONAL TOUCH
 Turbans are seen in equal pro- fusion, from high, wide and hand- some ones of strange materials to neat little head-hugging models with edgings of braided self-ma- terial. None, however, is casual. Un- less you can do pretty professional job of draping and bow-tieing, this is no spring to make your own tur bans.
 The calot is a headliner. Flower laden versions appear for afternoon and informal evening wear. Simple ones of felt and belting ribbon are suggested for wear atop the suavest, most sophisticated coats and suits.

AS EVERY CHILD SHOULD
 KNOW

A ranchman living in the rim of the dustboWl constructed six acre dam or tank" to serve as a reser- voir, and later dug an eleven foot hole beside 1t to guard against the dam water overhowing into near by well.
 One day the seven-year-old son of the ranchman asked permission to go wading in the shallow edge of the tank and his mother, una ware that the deep hole had been dug, gave permission and went on with her work.
 Presently the, five year old daughter screamed "Ellis fell in!" The boy was in the eleven foot hole. Mother started to run straight to- ward the place but then realized she could reach the spot more quickly from another side, so she ran back and through many rods of shallow water until she reached the hole. The boy was floating just un- der the surface, head down. Mother had never been able to swim, but she plunged in to the deep hole. Perhaps the air in her clothing buoyed her up. Anyway she didn't sink, although she swallowed con- siderable dam water. She managed to grab hold of the boy, and feebly skipping water with her left hand but made little progress. She had sent the little girl for daddy before she plunged into the hole. After what seemed a long time she touched the edge of the hole, drag ging the boy out into shallow wa- ter. He was limp and not breath ing. Dry ground was many yards away. She sat in the water, feet folded under her. pulled the boy across her lap so that his face would be out Of the water and his arms stretched above his head, and in that awkward position began apply ing prone-pressure resuscitation, ai she had learned by memorizing the directions given in this column

Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

DINNER: cup of clear vegetable broth; half of a head of lettuce with mineral dressing; 5 stalks of celery; whole grapefruit or whole oranges. The lettuce and grapefruit may be combined in a salad or eaten separately. Notice that whole oranges-not orange juice-are spe- cified.
 ASK YOUR
 DOCTOR FIRST
 It is a mistake of course, to go on any rigid diet for even three days without first consulting your family doctor.
 Bu tdon't let sensible advice of this type encourage you to put off asking the doctor about losing weight. If you are past 30, it's more than likely that your physician, as well as beauty experts, will not want you to be overweight.

| be expected to be I thought you might be glad to know that mother feels that to you and to God she owes the life of her eldest son. New testament miracles seem abso- lutely true to me now. They didn't before"
 It would be fair, I think, to give mother at least four-fifths of the credit, and as to the remaining fifth I'm willing to toss for 1t. Mother mentioned me first, SO assume the privilege of choosing the method of settlement.
 While mother was struggling in the hole she thought "Dr. Brady has written that even If a person has been submerged an hour they can possibly be saved by artificial respiration"
 Honestly I can't recall having said an hour, but that is not i'm portant. The important thing is that the idea helped to sustain the mother through that critical mo- ment-minute, five minutes, no matter how long it may have been and that's all I need to know I'm as happy as though I had been at hand myself to fish mother and child out of the hole and resuScitate the child.
 I have booklet on Resuscita- tion" which gives such simple in- strnctions for applying artificia respiration by the prone -preSSure method, the. correct Schafer method and not the unwarrantably modified method taught by the Red Crosi and numerous allied organizations that any child can learn how t render this life-saving service in aI emergency.
