That women only" rule which
for four seasons made the Sandy
Cove Yacht Club at North East,
Nd, an exclusively feminine re-
treat appears to be weakening.
The sailor lassies still hold out
firmly against any masculine en-
croachment of their fleet of mo-
tor boats and lesser "sea-faring"
vessels.
Husbands and men friends of
the members, however, are now
permitted to join the ladies on
the clubs house parties at an
inn on the North East River.
AS Commodore Lois Garlock
put 1t last week: Men can't join
the club, but they can come down
and look at us while we sail the
briny deep"
To be truthful, the commodore
admitted, there is "kibitzing"
from the shore and that is some
times little hard to take. Par
ticularly when we can't get a
motor to start" she laughed.
Men May Yet Step
Aboard Their Ships.
Who knows? Perhaps in an
other season or so, the masculine
visitors may be permitted to man
, the ships along with the women
and even contribute to the expan-
sion Of the feet.
About 20 business and profess
sional women from Washington
are members of the club. Others
come from Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and other
points along the Atlantic sea-
board. There are members from
as far away as New York this
season.
The Women's City Club of
Washington is well represented
In the group, Commodore Gar

Charity Finds Place
For Formal Attire Gifts.
Before you smile at those en-
thusiastic benefactors who bundle
up dainty evening slippers and
gossamer gowns to give them
away in the name OF sweet char
ity, here's a little story from the
Self Help Exchange.
The patroness involved-who
belongs to clubs-presumably left
her own formal wardrobe intact,
but made a lightning raid on
that of her husband.
The spoils included pair OF
dress trousers, with both tuxedo
and full dress coat, as well as a
waistcoat and tie. All we're sent
TO the Self Help Exchange.
We can disregard the Mere
Mans reaction to this blitzkrieg.
No doubt he became reconciled to
his loss in time.
From the viewpoint of the Self
Help officials, however, the con-
tribution was most worthwhile.
The formal attire, it was ex-
planned, will enable one Of the
participants of the exchange to
obtain job as waiter.
AS articles reconditioned at the
exchange are sold to participants
and not to the general public, it
goes without saying that only
practical things find ready buy
ers. But ingenious minds possibly
can find some very practical use
even for dainty slippers and
gossamer gowns.

Clarifying
Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
The ability to stick to your res
olution to lose weight depends main
ly on your ability to break some Of
your habits.
For instance, you must break
yourself Of the habit Of reaching in
for bite of something almost every
time you go near the ice box. And
Of tasting, more than Is necessary,
the food you are preparing for din
ner.
You must break the habit Of TAX
ing a second helping OF anything.
If both you and your husband are
trying to reduce, stop having dishes
passed q second time except to the
children.
You'll have to stop getting out
the car every time you want to go
a few blocks. And you'll stop send
ing one of the children upstairs, in
stead of going yourself.
IT'S APPETITE
VERSUS FIGURE
Instead Of playing bridge three
afternoons a week, sitting and nib
bling bits of this and that for hours,
you'll take up golf or some other
sport.
You'll give up the rich desserts
you love-knowing that you would
love a slim figure even more-and
take to eating fruits at the end OF
a meal.
You'll stop making up alibis-
But we were out to dinner so many
times last week that just couldn't
stay on my diet" or But how can
I diet today2 We have company for
dinner"
Nobody wants or expects you to
snoot your hostess food or to eat
only salad and some fruit while
there are guests at your own table.
But there's nothing to prevent you
from taking reasonable portions the
first time the food is passed and
politely refusing second helpings.

succeeded in overcoming his handi-
cap and continuing ii MS chosen
career. Otherwise he might have
become a tramp.
A correspondent who does not
give his age writes:
Ashamed that I continued at my
age to wet the bed, I conceived this
plan to stop it: Whenever felt
the call I would kick some stone,
post. or other object and purposely
restrain or delay an swering the call.
After a while, even when asleep,
the call would set me kicking and
this would be sufficient to awaken
mel have never wet the bed
since"
That is good psychology. The
function of micturition is primar-
ly reflex or automatic one which
does not necessarily require cons
scious volition or control. 1t is ma
tural for infants to wet their clothes
when awake, the bed when asleep.
Gaining conscious control over the
act is matter of training by con-
ditioning the reflex, as the nurse
or mother teaches the infant eight
or nine months old to associate
emptying the bladder with sitting
on chamber pot or small toilet seat
where she places and supports the
infant regularly every two hours
through the day; or as the CORE
spondent E. F. M. conditioned the
reflex by kicking on some object
whenever he felt the call.
Restricting the f1lid intake after
5 or p. m. and then giving the
child a bedtime meal of bread or
crackers (salty) and salty butter
and either ham or corned beef or
dried beef or picked herring or
salami-the large amount of salt in
such food serves to retain water
in the tissues without causing much
thirst, and the child sleeps the
night through without wetting the
bed.
An italian pediatrist, DR.. G. Mac
ciotta, reported in ediatria
(Naples) 11-1-'31 that in many
cases of bed-wetting the blood CAL
cium was below normal, and this is
commonly associated with a Pc
culiar tendency toward spasmodic
conditions. The administration of
calcium and vitamin D to such
children is likely to give better
results if the children also receive
adequate daily rations of vitamin
B Complex.
The treatment Of bed-wetting
acquired, perhaps following some
illness, years after a child has been
bed broken" is a problem which
demands medical attention and the
first essential of medical treatment
in such cases Is analysis Of the
urine.

New York - For those who have
long looked for casual, countryish
furniture that would be more lux
urious than cottage types, the re-
vival of English provincial pieces is
real news.
More sophisticated than early
American maple but less formal
than traditional 18th century wal
nut or mahogany, English pro-
vincial of solid walnut in a rich,
new toast tone, is suitable for
suburban and town as well as
country houses. Furthermore, it
mixes we'll with almost every
other type of furniture.
Richer carpets, fabrics and &C.
cessories than those associated
with maple may be used with the
English provincial groups. But
they call for less dressy fabrics
and ornaments than those COM
mon to 18th century French and
English schemes.
In other words, English provincial
pieces enable Mrs. America to strike
that fine middle ground of simplicity
and cincerely which shows culti-
waited taste without emphasizing it.
INSPIRED BY
OLD FRAMES
Herman DeVR1ES, the designer,
discovered the cone-shaped supports
for the wooden arms of one of the
sofas and an easy chair when he
was roaming over England recently
studying ancient provincial types in

farm houses, antique shops and

Here and there Mr.. DeVries found
old walnut chairs and sofas where
the stuffing had been ripped away
from the arms and the supports left
bare. He liked the framework so
much that he used it, llnpadded, In
designing the new furniture which
is being introduced In America at
the moment.
OF side and open-arm chairs
there are several unique varieties
bannister backs; ladderbacks with
splat half way up, as so many
chairs in old English country houses
were fixed; and third type is an

frame and latticed back.

ARE QUAINT
For q dining room, there's hand

In bedroom groups, there are mir
rors with designs painted along the
edges-as the country cabinet maker
used to do them.
One stunning exhibit bedroom,
furnished in English provincial, has
walls of hyacinth blue and deep
coral carpet, both Of which are per-
feet background colors for the toast
tone of the furniture.
In the living room illustrated, the
walls are soft-sage-green, the drap-
cries tan with gold, green, brown
and white accents, the carpet earth
brown with upholstered pieces in
green, gold and deep browns.
