Worn with man-tailored suits in masculine materials, these types are to be seen all over Hollywood and its environs.
 Novelty blouses, which just miss the elegance of the sheers but have an insouciance and appeal all their own-especially among young things are very popular.
 COTTON IS
 POPULAR FABRIC
 Gotten piques, linen-flnish cot" ton and other novel fabrics woven of cotton are liked for their air Of crisp freshness, the fact they meet soap and water so well. Typical of this sort df blouse is one of white pique snapped on starlet Eleanor Parker on her way to the set of "The Hard Way" her next picture. It has a high, round neck, short sleeves and wide shoulders an dsix- set-in arrows run up the front.

 For the moments when Jeanne wants to feel particularly soft and feminine, she slips into chalky white sheer blouse with full long sleyes and impressed pleats across the front. Both the heart-effect neckline and deep cuffs are banded in bias folds of white satin and hand fagoting.
 But Jeanne, like the mapority Of Hollywood's women, really prefers the tailored classics for everyday year. Only she enjoys Q change from the white that is so common the one she likes best being made For this, pastels come in nicely with of American shangtung in soft shade of ashes of roses,

CONQUEST OF THE CRT

CONQUEST OF THE CRI
 The first few thousand criticisms of the effort to popularize the term "cri" (pronounced Kree) in place of "cold," "head cold" or common cold were the hardest. We'll take the next few thousands jibes with complete imperturbalility. Cri is formed from the initial letters of common respiratory infection. If not the term itself least the significance of it is beginning to permeate the popular mind, even though public health administra- tors, studiously ignore it and vehemently reiterate the old hokum about avoiding exposure and drafts.
 In several Eastern newspapers recently, appeared picture of pu- pils of Hunden Locker School, Hill- side, N. J., in a play of their own writing, in which some of the pupils who came to school with Sniffies wore masks ever nose and mouth. The school physician, Dr. William Wacker, Jr., is introducing the idea and the children in school are taking to it with what promises to become a major rebuke to the standpat medical and health auth critics of the country.
 Any one of the 600 pupils in the school who appears at school with any sign of a cri has his or her temperature taken. If the tempera- ture is 99 degrees or over the pupil is sent home. If the temperature is not above normal the teacher sends to thes clinic for gauge mask, and the child wears the masks as long as he or she remains in school. Par ents and teachers make masks. Teachers say some children come of their own accord when they arrive at school and say: T have Q cold, may I have a mask, please?"
 Just for the record, not that any, body in authority would pay any attention, may I not point out that

 It's the dull, soft face that makes 6 cool, calm appearance in hot weather. Shiny effects and high lights detract from summertime charm.
 Smart women, therefore, do not oil or cream their eyelidS in this season, They blot their lipStick with cleansing tissues, and they powder their faces often.
 If you have naturally oily skin, be sure your liquid foundation lo- tons are of the non-greasy types. Or use liquid powder. And wash your face with soap and water more than once or twice daily. Look for an oil-less, indelible lipstick, too.
 Likewise, dull-textured clothes seem cooler. From this viewpoint, your cotton, rayon and other silk less dresses are 8 real blessing. For heavy, gleaming fabric looks shilling even on a roof garden or the couu- try club terrace.
 WINTER ORNAMENTS
 ARE "OUT" NOW
 Elaborate jewels and fussy hair ornaments likewise are out of keep ing in a summer setting. Feathers in the coif may be chic in Janu- ary, but fresh flowers are smarter in May. Several pieces of jewelry may dazzle your audience in autumn but in June no audience wants to be dazzled. One clip, one brace let and a pair of earrings are plenty.
 There are two exceptions 70 the rule against shedding too great a gleam in summer. These are hair and nails. Your tresses cannot be too bright. And smart nails are ever radiant whether they are covered with lacquer or simply bufEed until they're brilliant.

in the incubation stage of an of the common respiratory infection, such as measles (from ten to IA days) or whooping- cough (from 2 to 10 days) there is usually no rise in temperature and yet the child may infect others toward the end of the incubation period and before any symptom develops.
 Nevertheless this Hurden-Looker School demonstration is an omen the backward medical and health authorities of the country would do well to heed. It is @ step in the right direction which most public health administrators simply haven't had the courage to take. For that matter the old guard only lately acknowledged that open-face coughing and sneezing spreads res- piratory infections = though still hoping certain radicals will pipe down about the hazard of polite conversational spray.
 Since this routine use of masks started in the Hurd en-L poker School last October there has been a slackening in absences and sick neSses, Dr. Wacker states.

 Hollywood.-Suitsa and blouses are practically uniforms for feminine West Coasters these days. An eco- nomical trend during wartime may be credited partly for such popular ity as well as the fact that Cali fornians have long been noted suit fanciers.
 White Is the outstanding blouse color, although the dark solids are coming up for good deal of atten- tion and so, too, are completely mad prints, wild floral designs in the giddiest of brilliant colors. There's 8 great democracy in tailored blouses. They are seen on all ages, sizes and shapes of women-from the most glamorouS of the movie queens, down. through the lesser and lesser acting ranks to the least office worker.
 For the sophisticated, the hand made, sheer blouse is the order of the day. Inserts of cotton lace in sheer batiste vie with ruffled jabots on sheer organdies in favoritism.

 A. Bits of Americana, such as colored pages from Godey's Ladies Book, and old Autographs depicting past events, are apparently in pop ular favor now. They look well and in simple mahogany frames with a fine gold beading. They can be hung singly or in groups and look well in almost any room in. the house.

o. Do Americans, as a nation, eat much cheese? Which State in the U. s. produces the most cheese?
 A. The United States is not an outstanding cheese-eating country. It ranks about 1lth among the na- tions of the world in this regard. The per capita consumption of cheese in the United tSates is only about four pounds a year. Wiscon- sin produces more than half of the American production.
 o. VIII the restrictions of the War Production Board eliminate style as a factor in womens and chiIdren's clothing for the duration of the war?
 A. That is not the desire of the Board. However, the Textile and Clothing Branch of the agency has expressed an intention of preventing radical changes in style that will waste materials now manufactured, or create a heavy demand for new materials.
