your fevered brow You'll find
that you can tie together an en-

Go easy on the jewelry. 1t will

Dangling bracelets and necklaces

there's nothing messier than the
sight of greasy countenance

Bv JOsethine L0wr; an

Sorenson reports that most sohol-
ars and scientists do their best
intellectual work between the ages
of 40 and 60.
Evidently, then, life Is susceptible
to our mental forays upon 1t during
those years. If existence becomes
dull and we suddenly seem TO be
useless it must be due to some lack
within ourselves rather than TO the
years which have passed.
Too often years land on our
waistlines, our enthusiasms and our
hips and bog them down with
mental inertia and fatty tissue. They
could add to our understanding, wis
dom, mental energy, charm and,
yes-eVen to our beauty.
The essential parts Of true beauty
are acquirable at almost any age.
A graceful carriage, slim figure.
clear skin and that inner sparkle
which comes from physical Ugor
and an alert mind will make any
woman lovely.
The woman OF 40 usually has an
advantage because she has learned
to dress with distinction, TO groom
herself with great care, and she
has a brand of poise and charm
which practically is unknown in
the very young.
If you wish to enjoy the richest
time of life I suggest that you do
two things: l. Take exercise along
with you. 2. Become interested in
something.
Today will give you an exercise
that will outlast any lastex girdle
and I suggest that you get at least
one hobby.
Lie on the floor on your left side.
leaning on your left arm, arm at
right angles to the body. Raise
your right arm up close TO the head.
AS you do so inhale deeply. Exhale
as you raise the right leg upward,
bringing it as close to the right arm
as possible. Inhale as you lower
your right leg. Continue, exhaling
as the leg comes up, and inhaling
as it goes down. Turn on the right
side and continue.
If you wish TO have my leafet
to help you select a hobby send a
3-cent stamped, self f-addressed en-
velope with your request for HOB
BIES to Josephine LoWman in care

Manners
of the
Moment

I can get used to other peoples
cats. And I can get used to what
ever dogs other people have that
don't stand higher than my knee.
But when it comes to dogs that only
need to stretch out a tongue in Or
der to lick my ear, I cannot and will
not get used to them.
There used to be calf that was a
favorite pet of mine. But mother
wouldn't let me bring it into the
houSe-not even into the kitchen.
So I was probably trained wrong.
But I would like to send forth
this little plea. should like to re-
quest, very politely, that those Great
Danes and things be left outdoors
when I turn up. I don't mind shar-
ing my chair or my lap with the
children~of the family. But I refuse
to take in a dog that is twice my size.
II just plain scares me. JEAN.

Firmness of Pillows

The degree Of softness or firmness
in a pillow depends on the kind of
feathers used. A pillow filled en-
tirely with down is the softest, while
one filled with either goose or duck
feathers is usually considered firm
enough to meet any requirements.
In-between gradations are obtained
by blending down and feathers in
various formulas. Women and girls

What happens to all these daring
Western trends when they hit this
part of the country is often surpris-
ing. They're toned down, of course,
for Eastern men just don't go in
for the wild styles sometimes seen
elsewhere. However, the canyon COL
ors are being seen around and so is
the cowboy motif and the loafer
jacket, to name but a few. We're
also expected to wear light weight
suede jackets made like fabric sports
jackets. Have it all over the leather

There is an hour in the evening
when the light fails and darkness
has not yet fallen. The dim light
softens the harsh lines. the shadows
wipe out all rough edges and round
out the things that bulk so hugely
in the daytime. Silence falls softly
over the world and all little things
feel relieved of the days demanding
presence. 1t is so with little chill
dren, and with those somewhat
older.
This time should be held sacred
to the children's bedtime. After
the CRIME has been washed from
their bodies the care should be
wiped from their minds, their souls
relieved of the burden of grief or
fear that the days routine has left
behind.
It is at this time children will
open their hearts freely to some one
they trust, their mother usually

direct rays of the searching light.
The darkness holds the privacy of
the confessional and seems to help
the flow of words that carry away
the troubles of the day.
1t is then that the little boy will
tell his mother of his failure, of
his mistakes. his defeats, and she
listening in the shadows, will COM
fort him silently, with her hand
resting on his shoulder, or holding
his. She will not talk, just listen,
but her thoughts will flow toward
the child to strengthen and en-
courage him for the coming day
Every child stands in need Of the
comfort and sustaining strength OF

| friends in this informal way IF the
boy seems to be nice sort of chap

thing that a girl can usually tell,
either from instinct or experience.
Your reaction should be governed

his face, you're on safer ground.
If and when he recognizes your
existence with smile, or by tipping
his hat or saying Hello" you can
return the smile or the greeting.
But let it 60 at that. Don't turn
or loiter or do anything else that
looks like undue encouragement.
You are merely being polite and
friendly by responding to his greet
ing; you are not leaping at his bait.
Encourage him to believe that you
won't spurn his friendship if he
takes the initiative in offering it.
But don't take that initiative your
self.
If he does develop sp saking
acquaintance with you, and con-
tinues to be interested, he'll prob
ably ask you for a date. Don't be
in too much of hurry to accept,
particularly if he brings up the sub
ject the first time he talks to you.
Your response should be governed
by the way he acts, the attitude to-
ward you which he seems to have,
and the nature of the date which
he suggests.
A date which you get in this way
should lean over backwards in being
conventional. The boy should come

You should go only to some recog-

ParachuteS are placed in the cockpitS of the Hurricanes, with harness straps ready to buckle on, the flying helmet with oxygen mask and radio set is plugged in and made ready to slap on. Machine gun sights are checked and then we go back to the hut to wait for action, which by the way usually is not 8 long wait.
 When the alarm rings we tear out to our planes and are usually in the air in two minutes, taking of the most convenient way re- gardless of the wind. We climb and listen for orders on our radio. Most of our fighting is done above 5000 feet over the Channel.
 No Time for Fright
 "When the enemy is sighted we prepare for action, getting guns etc., all set, and then we sail into him. There's not much time to be scared although I admit the first time I saw all those Germans coming at me I jumped 200 feet.
 "Hitler's bad boys never seem to attack unless they outnumber us 20 to 1. But that's fair enough be- cause there's more to shoot at.
 When the fight is over, we come back, refuel, etc, and wait for the next one. At meals half of us eat while the other half stays on in readiness. This goes on till dark, which believe me, comes about Il p. m.

 Marshall as the {. Senator, and young Reynolds, as the page boy, possess roles of exceptional merit, and provide performances to match. Miss Bruce, seen as a radio reporter who insists upon being "on the in- side,'' of everything that happens is equally well cast in Q memorable characterization.
 Lesser players provide more than competent performances to match those of the principals, with Samuel s Kinds and Ralph Morgan. as United States Senators: Pierre Wat kin, as a lobbyist, and J. M. Kerri- gan, as political boss, particularly outstanding.

When William Powell and MyrnG Loy are billed together. audiences are sure of laughs. But never was the promise of laughs more boun- tifully filled than in Love Crazy" their latest man and wife" adven- ture. which opened four day en- gagement at Warmers Strand the- ater this afternoon.
 Miss Loy becomes jealous of Pow ell and decides to divorce him. Pow ell discovers that a wife can't di- vorce her husband if he's crazy so sets out to convince her and all and sundry that he's mad as March hare.
 His method takes the form of & series of screwball antics such as chewing up phon0graph records and digging @ hole in Fifth Avenue. But when the alienists are called in, aIfd the antics fool them and they take his craziness seriously and commit him to an asylum. Then PowellS struggles to extricate himself from his own web of deceit make him look all the crazier.
 Powell's debonair handling of the absurd situations is engaging an hilarious, and Miss LOy's perform ance as the wife, as usual leaves nothing to be desired.
