SALUTARY INFLUENCE or
 GOOD COFFEE

If you tell a lie often enough in time you will come to believe it yourself. Or as Shakespeare labori- ously expressed it-
 Like one
 Who having unto truth, by tell ing of 1t,
 Made such sinner of his mem- ory,
 To credit his own lie.
 Too bad coffee was introduced to England long after Shakespeare's time. It would have enabled Mir. Shakespeare to do better work.
 There are several notions preva- lent about the effects of coffee which seem to be based on nothing more than constant repetition in certain magazines, pamphlets and other publications by or for special interests - interests that probably come to believe the misconceptions themselves in time.
 On such notion iS that coffee makes you nervous"
 For every individual who may feel more nervous" - whatever that may be-wi1en he or she ln- dulges in coffee, there are scores who need and benefit by the gentle lift tliey get from 8 cup or two of good coffee in the morning. Par ticularly people who have Sub,lor. nal metabolism. For them coffee is the ideal stimulant without a hangover" Good coffee makes such folk easier to live with. It cheers them up a bit, which, heaven knows, their relatives and friends can stand.
 Another common misconception concerning coffee Is that 1t makes one t"bilious," whatever that may be-, or at any rate 1t is bad for the liver. The poor geeks who take all these imaginationS seriously seem to know intultively things about the liver that are unknown, to physi- ologists and physicians. Physi- o1ogists and physicians recognize no such state as "biliousnesS"iIl fact the trick diagnosis of bilious attack" is tantamount to comics sion that the quack doesn't know or care what ails you and is will ing to play along with you on any basis you like.
 But ''biliousness" as a state of mind may be fairly ascribed to cof- fee-to bad coffee, in many in- stances. Webster says bilious means 'icholeric; ill-tempered" = and choler originally meant bile, to which the ancientS attributed an- ger or iraScibiIity. That's or Doc Brady,S reaction to crime in the coffee pot, all right. You see, all coffee is good coffee unless or until 1t is boiled.
 The instant coffee begins to boil the aroma or flavor begins to pass of into the ambient and only the bitter remains in the pot. Good coffee IS an infusion. Bad coffee is 8 decoction. An infusion is 6 solution made by soaking in water, cold, tepid, warm. hot. but never up to the. boiling point. A decoc- ton is a solution made by boiling and then straining.

GlOrity,ing Yourself

HEA SekVlce St&M WfAUSE
 Time was when marriage very definitely put woman on the shelf so far as 8 career was concerned. And. more often than not, having q baby spoiled her figure and made her look years older than her, actual age.
 Ali is different these days. Rarely does an employer object to having married women on his stan. Rare indeed is the girl who doesn't slim down rather quickly after having baby. Thanks to modern science and medicine, even rarer IS loss of hair or Softening and decaytng or teeth during the months before the child Is born. :.
 Indeed, so much has been learned about prenatal care that having children doesn't deter even the top- ranking professional models from their careers. Proof that their fig ures are just as good after having babies is the fact that 8 good per- centage ot the models most In de- mand for fashion shows and, for magazine cover photographs are mothers.
 RETURN 'LOvELIER Y THAN EVER"
 Most of the girls on our list come back to work within three months after their children are born," says Harry Conover, head of fiourishing model agency. Need less to say, they come back with slim, trim figures; hair as pretty as ever; skin clear; eyes nrignt Their doctors outline special dlets and give directions for special exer- cises. I never worry about losing per- manently all employe who leaves to have 8 baby. know by now that sheTl be back pretty soon, looking lovelier than ever"
 TAKE EVEN MORE PAINS WITH THEIR APPEARANCE 1 And don't think for a minute, Harry Conover continued, that the models who marry don't double their efforts always to be wen-grocmed and smartiy dressed. Keeping up appearances for, a young husband as well as for the photographers who take their pictures makes them doubly appearance conscious.
 Besides, being just a triie on the. defensive. about. working though married makes them deter mined not to slide into shoddy habits of grooming. I'll show the boss that marrying hasn't changed me for the worse is their attitude. They seem 70 take even more pains with their appearance than they did before marriage"
 Among the more famous models who have children is lovely Bettina Bolegard, whose. son is two. Miss Bolegard is one of the top flight millinery models. Hardly a month goes by that she isn't on the cover of some famous magazine.
 Other model mothers are Joan Christie, Margaret Lane, Carol /, Lorell, Dorothy Temple, Slim, tall and beautiful, these are among scores of New YorkiS most popular models who are even prettier now than they were when they started modelling according to Harry Con- over-and he ought to know.
