A Woman's Angle
This Halloween Must Be Different
BY Betsy CasweH

For years, property owners in
Washington have dreaded the ar
rival of Halloween.
Shrubs and little trees in pots
and tubs had to be taken indoors
for the night; pets, even, were let
out only on leash, and hurried in
side as quickly as possible; cars
were locked tightly in garages,
where such shelter was available.
Beyond taking these precautions,
there wasn't much to be done.
People sat and waited for the
hours of noise and nuisance and
damage that had to be endured
every year.
This Halloween should be diff
ferent. Let the children have fun,
certainly, but let them have it at
home This is no time for waste
full damage to property-and no
time to try the patience and break
the rest of hard working people
by ringing doorbells and Shrek
ing up and down streets.
Gates torn from their hinges
will be hard to repair this year.
Cars whose paint is SCARED or
dulled will have to stay that way
for the duration. Windows that
are soaped only add to the chores
of the servantless housewife.
Shrubbery uprooted must die for
want of time and labor to re-
plant it. Broken light globes are
hard to replace, and expensive.
And woe to any one caught med
ding with those precious tires!
Moths is no year for vandal-
ism. There is never time when
valdalism Is eXcusable, but this
year, above all, it must be abol-
ished. The results of an evenings
rioting will be all too serious, and
with America fighting war to
the finish no one has the right
to cause willful waste of the
smallest item.
Children. of course, can't be
expected altogether to understand
these things-although it has long
been a contention that if they
were taught the real meaning of
the laws of mine and thine"
there would have been less of the
hoodlum aspect about HalloWeens
of the past. At any rate, it should
be explained to them this year,
very carefully, and then, so as not
10 deny them the fun that all
youngsters crave on the eve of
witches and goblins, they should
be given simple but pleasurable
little party at home.
1t doesn't take much trouble or
expense to stage a party of this
sort. A mother could let her child
invite eight or ten children from
the neighborhood and give them
light supper, let them play
games, and try some of the old
Halloween customs, without more
than an hour or two of prepara-
ton. To satisfy the yen for
dressing up, tell the children to
come in costume.

Out of the Limelight
No Prejudice Against Woman Doctors
BY Frances Cronyn

hair, braided and coiled in mas
sive chignon, must be nearly as
long as that Of the princess In
"Rapunzel." She has ready,
hearty laugh and gay manner.
Il love children" she said with
deep feeling. "As a young girl I
didn't cherish any ambition to
become another Florence Night
ingale, but I always loved chill
dren. That Is why I entered med
ical school with the sole aim Of
specializing in pediatrics. 1t is
the very same impulse that sends
other women into nursery school
teaching, for example"
DR.. Nicholson has been prac-
ticing medicine in Washington
for nearly Is years. She is a
Fellow of the American Medical
Association and clinical profess
sor of pediatrics at George
Washington University, where
she received her M. D. in 1925.
when I first opened my Office
I was told that would starve,
but in two weeks I was doing we'll
enough to put that gloomy
prophecy behind me. Prejudice
on the part OF the general public
is neglible factor. Mothers ask
me to prescribe for as many boys
as girls. Nor do fathers hesitate
to consult woman doctor about
their youngsters"
The question of raising a FAM
lily presents knotty problem to
women actively engaged in the
medical world. The demands of
young children at home can
hardly be fitted into their busy
schedules. One physician who
reared a sizable brood promptly
gave up her practice. AS DR..
Nicholson merrily put it, She
valued her M. r. S. more than
her M. D."
THE present emergency finds
women doctors carrying an extra
burden, pinch-hitting for men
now serving in the armed forces.
Many young physicians in WASH
ington already have been called
by Uncle Sam and the end isn't
in sight yet. That leaves the
older men and the women to
administer to greatly aug
mented population here, adults
and children; there was big
crop of babies this year, too.
"The art of healing is a
woman's business" DR.. Nicholson
maintains. "One of the very first
hospitals in the New World was
founded by an Order of Sisters
In Mexico. The period when
women doctors were regarded
with distrust, or worse, was an
era in the history of medicine
comparable to the Dark Ages;
but even during that time women
still continued to function as
midwives, or, if they knew some
thing about mankinds ailments,
were referred to as oldwives.
Occasionally, we make a suppos-
edly brand-new discovery that
only confirms a bit of old wives
lore, handed down by generations
OF women"

Thanks to the development of
American fabrics, there is no
scarcity of beautiful, rich ma
terials this year. Such favorites
as rayon and metal lame, crush
resistant velvet, satin, taffeta and
jersey, as well as crepes, are to be

In case you have decorated
walls or need spots OF strong

equally attractive. Cleverly

Rest and relaxation are war
time must. The relaxing effects
of warm water has been under

the extra effort and thought
which goes into comfortable
bathroom accessories these days
Is a good investment In peace Of
mind
In the last few years water re-
pellent and waterproofng agents
have been developed to a high
degree. Now when rubber is not
obtainable for other than vital
materials, 1t Is convenient to find
that shower curtains may be
made of chintz, cotton. rayon or
other materials and be thorough
ly waterproof without the aid Of
rubber. This also makes it pos
slble to offer wide range of de-
signs which had never been pos
sible before.
All these new shower curtains
are washable and may be treated
just like the bathroom curtains.
Many of them are also treated
against mildew, that destructive
agent which ruins so much fab
ric.
Though metal containers are
a thing of the past, we will never
miss them when new ones of

an attitude more evident than
ever In evening fashions this
year.
Women who formerly won-
dered whether they should be the
sweet and simple" type in bouf-
FAINT pastels or the "slinky siren"
in pencil-slim crepe have found
the answer this season. While
they still have a choice, it has
become apparent that only the
very young, very ingenue- -ish will
select really frilly clothes for
after-dark. The more poised
women, the ones tritely referred
to as "sophisticated," have found
In the new slender dinner gowns
the ultimate in wartime fashions
for evening. AS matter of fact,
20 charming, so restrained and in
such good taste are these new
clothes that it looks as though
the long gown will continue to
keep the street-length evening
dress well in the background-at
least where gala moments are
concerned.
: To be sure, the ,bouffant type
Is still with us, despite LBS rul-
ings, for such priority free fab
rics as rayon nets, laces and
sheers are unlimited as to the
quantity which may be used in

skirts are newer, smarter and
infinitely flattering. Once upon

the thought of figure-molding
gowns that would show up excess
poundage in the wrong places.
Today, however, the designers
have performed miracles
with subtle drapery, floating
panels and scanning to bring ease
where 1t is needed. Today the
question no longer is, Shall I
wear a slim -skirted evening
dress?" but rather, How slim
shall my new dress be?"
The covered up look is no new
phrase in fashion. We seem to
remember talking about it for
the past two or three years. How
ever, this year it has an even
greater contribution to offer, for
not only is the jacketed dress or
the one with sleeves considered
high fashion, but it is in the best
