soft chancre, granuloma inguinal,
and lymphogranuloina inguinal.
Considered as a group these are
the most widespread Of all conta-
gious diseases. Estimates based on
studies by the United States Public
Health Service show that almost half
a million new cases of syphilis and
more than two-thirds Of a million
new cases Of gonorrhea are treated
by physicians in private practice or
in clinics in the United States an
nually. About one percent Of the en-
tire population becomes infected
with veneral diseases annually.

Because the psychological signs

people they are often more notice

Tense people become very SEN
sitive to the behavior of other

quarrels grow in magnitude, fam

come strained; and all because one
or both members of a partnership

smart in the best sense Of the
word"
Madame Montabert points out
that it is impossible to make a hard
and fast list of dos and dont's re-
garding hats for any age group.
Naturally, each individual face must
be suited. However, some Of her
generalities are interesting, and
should be helpful.
1.-THE woman with q full face
needs a hat with width" Madame
Montabert begins. "A woman
who wears eye glasses can wear a
hat with a veil only if the veil
is placed so that the glasses do not
get in its way-which Is a neat trick
in itself.
1.-THE tiny woman needs a hat
that will give her height and i'm
portance. A woman with a thin,
pointed face never should wear too
high a crown or too close-fitting a

What a blessing slip covers are
for worn, shappy chairsl Like new
upholstery. And you can so easily
and inexpensively make attractive
year round styles, fix up your own
chairs for fall.
Smart now are covers Of color
full cotton crash like the one
we've shown-a rich beige with
a green and rust all-over motif.
Seams are bound in beige and the
flounce is smartly pleated.
The secret of making a we'll
fitting cover Is that you smooth the
fabric over the old upholstery, pin
where seams will be and cut, leav-
ing IL Inch seam allowance. Work
a section at time-first inside
back and seat, then arms, sides,
back. The flounce you add last to
finished cover.
To fit a barrel chair like the
one pictured, smooth fabric down
inside back, cut at bottom and
piece as the diagram shows or,
If fabric Is wide, make two long
darts in place Of seams. Then
sew up seams and attach a 4-inch
bias band along the bottom to
tuck in
In our 32-page booklet you find
directions for making slip covers for
all types of chairs and sofas, incud-

New York-The older woman who

sets her off-not one which buries
her own personality and appearance

in designing chic hats for discern
ing women Of mature years.
Men are absolutely right in
the stand they have taken against

likes Is the one that is really most
