look as fresh and cool as a flower.
You can help create that Illusion
OF GOODNESS and freshness through
a more casual hair-do. Wear your
hair a little further OFF your face,
keep it softly curled, rather than In
a set and formal couture. For the
final touch to your hair, wet your
fingers with cologne or toilet water
and push the curis into place,
dampening them very slightly with
the fragrant liquid. A little more

a gay little beau-catcher ribbon in
your hair, and you're Off for fun

Just as sur as you look as cool

Keeping cool when the thermome-
ter runs its little red tongue IN
to the top figures Is something that
we all think about a good deal.
How to do it? Well, you'll feel
cooler If you look cool, and there
are lots Of tricks to make you look
as cool as a frosted lemonade I
They're beauty tricks which start
with soap and water and end with
a final dash Of fowery cologne. Just
as sure Is you manage to look fresh
and crisp and your best beau tells
you so-well, you'll feel better right
away!
So, defy old Sol and try q few Of
these. First, a warm or lukewarm
tub or shower. If you prefer the
tub, toss In one of the delightful
preparations that turn it into a fra
grant mass Of bubbles. It's fun, and
cooling. Take your time, and relax
every muscle in your body. If
you're addicted to firm rubbing with
q rough towel in the drying-off
process, give that up for summer
and blot yourself dry as gently as
possible. Next comes the bath pow
der, and II you use a scented one,
choose the same scent as your bath
bubbles and your cologne. You don't
want to finish up with a mixture
of perfumes!
Once you're in fresh, cool clothes,
do your makeup carefully. Summer

Manners

Moment

When a strange man tries to start
a conversation with girl at q
lunch counter. should a girl put
her nose in the air and refuse to
answer, or should she be civil?
On the whole, of course, the
wisest rule to follow is never to
utter a word. and to keep your eyes
straight ahead. But sometimes fol-
lowing that rule makes you fee
completely ridiculous and Victorian
When all a man says is May

awfully hot today. isn't it?" you fee
a bit prudish in keeping your pro-
tective silence.
In a case like that, I think it de-
ponds largely on girls own ability
to handle a conversation. If she's
pretty sure she can keep it within
the bounds of the weather or the
amount of sugar needed i'll coffee
she might just as we'll make civil
answers and be decently polite. II
the conversation begins to get toe
personal, she can always freeze ur

But if a girl isn't sure of hei
own ability to freeze up at the
proper point, then it's best to ignore
all comments from her neighbor :.

By Dorothy Di.

Dear Dorothy Dix: Do many
couples have this kind of trouble?
MY wife and I love each other dearly
and are cheerful and happy COM
panions when out. but 1t seems i'm
possible for us to avoid quarreling
around home. Apparently We get
on each others nerves and stay
there. I can't please my wife. If
I walk around the house. I walk too
heavy. II I sit down and read. that
brings on scene. If I move a
chair, I bang the furniture. II I
touch paper. she can't bear to
hear it rattle When I eat, I eat too
slowly. and so forth and so forth.
Everything I do is wrong. Before
we were married my sweetheart
praised me all the time. Now she
calls me a fool and worse. Our
ajor disputes come from my at
tempts to balance scanty budget.
Don't you think it wise for low
wage-earners to follow a budget
plan so that they can live within
their incomes? That has been my
practice all my life and it has worked
we'll for me. but my little pet doesn't
believe in the stingy budget busi-
ness" She prefers to spend and
see how things rome out, and natu-
rally they don't come out right. We
Just can't make ends meet that way
But how can 1 get her to agree to
budget plan without causing
friction? PUZZLED HUBBY.
Answer-Oh, yes. many husbands
and wives put on their affectionate
attitude toward each other when
they doll themselves up in their
steppiig-out clothes. Abroad they
address each other as sweetheart"
and darling" and are so tender and
devoted that they present an in
spring picture of happy married
couple, but when they return home
they drop their love-making on the
doorstep and resume their cat and
dog fight with each other.
And also. as in your case, most of
the quarrels between husbands and
wives are about money. You see,
the great majority of boys and girls
who get married think that love is
enough and that if they can be to-
gether they will never be hungry,
or want new clothes, or to 60 to
places of amusement. When they
find out that such is not the case
and that after marriage they have
just as good appetites as they did
before marriage: the same craving
for glad raiment; that they get fed
up with each others society and
want to go places and do things just
as badly as they did before the
! parson said the words that sold them
down the river. they are likely to
get peevish and fretful with each
other and wonder why they did it.
That's what is the matter with
your wife, and the reason you can't
please her about anything you do
is because her disposition has been
soured by having to do without
some of the luxuries she Graves. So
she takes out her disappointment at

piece lasteX models for girls who
really 60 in for swimming.
Frankly, the girl who merely wants
to look decorative has much the best
of the bargain in this swim suit
business. For her are printed jersey
tWo-piece suits with sarong drape;
bare midriff numbers of sharkskin
With buttons up the center of the
bra and down the front of the flared
panties. She's the girl who'll like
dressmaker suits of white eyelet
pique: striped numbers of rayon
jersey; printed pique suits with
matching play suit ensembles and
white sharkskin suits with attached
bras of polka dot rayon jersey and
matching short coats with shoulder
yokes of the jersey. The printed
pique suits and matching short coats
lined with terry cloth are also ideal
fer parading on the beach.
However, the designers and manu-
facturers have not forgotten the
lady who takes her swimming in a
more serious vein. For her are the
new lasteX suits which look like cut
velvet, come in all colors and At
like a glove. with no excess frills.
Also designed to delight the athletic
type are corded suits reinforced in
side across the tummy to help re-
tain that fiat look. Excellent in ap-
pearance and practical for activity
are the satiny lastex suits in solid
colors or prints.
It's interesting to note the detail
ing on most Of these models. For
example, the draped bodice is i'm
portant and flattering; flared skirts
or shorts give decidedly improved
appearance. Novelty touches such
as back or front zippers. white
ruffled pique edging on black
velvet-like suit, tailored bows
perched at the Waistline of a two
piece model-all these make for in
terest and fashion news. And don't
forget that the right touches such
as harmonizing shoes. rubber flowers
to pin on or special bathing jewely
all add to your charm and to your
reputation as a lady of taste. But
most of all. be sure that your swim
suit really fits.

Some of the one-piece styles by a
Uell-known maker seem to be cut
higher at the neckline than any
we've seen in a long while. Don't
ask us why: we're at loss. All we
know is that there are numbers of
swim suits cut much higher in the
back and very often higher in the
front-usualy squared in both areas.
Straps are often wider, too, and
some Of the straps have metal hooks
instead of being sewn to the suit.
So much the better for sun bathing
