Girls who have to wear glasses no
longer wear them self.consciously,
hoping no one viii notice them.
No smart woman chooses frames
with the thought: "there are the
most inconspicuous ones here, 50
they really won't be noticed or
make much difference In my
looks"
Neither does she choose the
first frames she Is shown, and then
think: glasses win make me look
too awful anyway, so 1t really
doesn't matter which ones get"
She succeeds In being philoso-
phical about the matter. realizing
that people will notice she has
started wearing glasses and, since
that Is true, sheqmight as well get
some high-styled ones which will
cause the same comment a new,
huge red bag or a chic, but spec
tacular, necklace might.
HARMONIZE FRAME
WITH HAT AND HAIR.DO
She likes the new plastic frames
which may be chosen to har-
monize smartly with makeup,
clothes and coiffure or In shades
that match skin tones. She likes
the new and interesting shapes,
such as the 'Mephisto" model
which seems TO make all the lines
Of the face slant upward instead
Of down.
Having obtained glasses, she
goes directly to her favorite Golf
| fure expert and works with him
to create q couture that Is beconn-
ing TO her new face--the one with
eyeglasses. Then she gets new
hats that are right with the new
face.
She gives up dangling earrings
because earrings plus glasses
make q face seem over-dressed.
She strives for sleek, off-the.face
hair styles for the same reason.
Given model wearing glasses

POMPADOUR COMPLIMENTS
STRAlGHT.TOP GLASSES
Another beauty authority who has
designed a couture for round
face model wearing glasses with
straight, high bridge lines CONF
ments:
"The high side, top swirl POM
padour effect with simple off-thc-
face lines compliments perfectly
the straight topside lines Of glasses
which make the face seem less
round and childish. The lines Of
the hair-do actually seem To soften
the lines OF the glasses"
with rectangular eyeglasses on
a fairly long face with perfect fea-
lures. another hairdresser does ails
other pompadour. He explains:
"The modified pompadour---clcafi

ter sanitation, improved water sup.
ply, chlorination OF water supply
and more efficient control Of out
breaks and carriers by the vigilance
OF the public health authorities and
the intelligent cooperation Of prac-
ticing physicians everywhere.
Anti-typhoid vaccination prob
ably contributes considerably toward
the prevention OF typhoid outbreaks
or epidemics, although routine vac
cination OF the population Is prac-
ticed only when some calamity such
as flood, cyclone, or earthquake de-
ranges the sanitary control OF water
supplies, sewerage, garbage disposal,
etc. Then, too, the great increase In
hy-consciousnes or popular krowl-
edge Of the danger OF flies as car
riers Of typhoid, dysentry and other
disease germs, no doubt has some
thing to do with II.
Vaccination against typhoid Is stall
essential for any one who may be In
contact with cases OF the disease and
for any one planning TO travel In
countries where sanitation may not
be OF the best.

stripes. There are inexpensive ones
in rough textured rayon and cotton
mixtures, plain linen, percale and
many sheer materials, like dotted
Swiss.
Perfect for hot city streets are
suits Of washable silk, non-crushable
linen, k-sharkskin and gingham
In subdued color combinations. And,
for cooler days tthere will be someD
those of tropical worsteds and OF
vol and rayon mixtures.
MAKE SURE THEY'RE
SUN AND WASH FAST
For the country, wear q suit in
gingham check or plaid or OF the
new, tissue-thin corduroy--as easy
TO wash as heavier corduroys always
have been. Linen suits for country
are Of coarser, rougher material than
those for town. And they come In
brighter colors.
Wear your summer suits with or
without blouses. II without, tuck o
softly knotted scarf into the neck
line. Be sure that both suits and
blouses are guaranteed fast TO sun
and fast 10 washing.
The most popular blouse to wear
with a simply tailored morning suit
Is a casual shirt. With dressier sum-
mer suist, VI dotted Swiss or silk,
frothier, almost frilly blouses are IN
order. And with country suits, try
a cotton sweater, halter or short
s!eeved, open-necked shirt blouse.
SUIT YOURSELF
FOR DINNER
For evening as we'll as daytime,
suits are In the news. A dinner suit
OF black chiffon with an accordian
pleated skirt and single-breasted,
tailored jacket, trimmed with round
pearl buttons, would be smart for
an important summer dinner.
For casual evening, q white linen
dinner suit with double-bre
jacket Is chic. And TO wear for din
ner at home, with the family, there's
. beautiful, youthful dinner suit OF
brown and white check gingham
with a full, swirling skirt and q
brief double-breasted Jacket.

Humphrey Bogart likes to tell the
story of Cash, the movie-going
springer spaniel, with which he has
had passing contact.
Cash belongs to Mr.. and Mrs. D.
M. Conlan of Goodell, Iowa, and he
has rather an unusual hobby. Every
week he goes to the outdoor movies.
He arrives early and sits down front.
Cash likes gangster pictures and
Westerns. In fact, once, when a
comedy was substituted for an ad-
vertised Humphrey Bogart picture,
Cash became disgusted and, for the
first time, walked out on the show.

a huge davenport in the living room.

the front wall of the room was
completed.
When the two stars vacated the
other day the landlady was amazed
to discover the davenport in an
upstairs bedroom. Ever since their
departure she has been measuring
doors and windows, trying valnly
to find out how that big piece Of
furniture was removed from the
living room. So there it still is, in
