'ure that all clasps are secure
before you literally step out.
It's disconcerting to grab at your
pins, bracelets or earrings every
few seconds. Moreover, you may
want to keep your earrings in
your purse until you arrive. Many
women have reported a burning
sensation from them on cold days,
almost as though the metal
freezes in contact with the ear.
Unnecessary though it may
sound, give yourself a check UP"
before leaving the house. Put on
your gloves so you needn't shift
handbag and packages to do the
job en- route. Tuck in dangling
scarf ends which may blow into
your face. Don't try to walk in
a skirt so tight you have to take
mlncing steps, or In one so full
it billows like a balloon at every
breeze. Avoid capes and scarfs
that keep slipping off your
shoulders. Try an overtime
shoulder purse to leave your
hands free for shopping or strap
hanging. And remember that
shopping bags are smart these
days, especially when they're
marked with a victory" slogan.

prove useful on the rugger field.
Once established in front of
the fire, other problems arise,
such as the annoying experience
OF being cooked medium-well in

Work Wonders
With Paint
Ry Mar4aret NOVEL;

Dy 4v1dI Adt 81 A>oNSSll
You can work wonders with
paint! Nothing so quickly trans
forms an ordinary room into one
with undeniable charm and an
air of comfortable nominees
which goes right along with
chintz and deep chairs.
Too often we buy quart
Of paint to do a chest OF
drawers and possibly a small
chair to repeat the color note
elsewhere in the room. With
these completed, and our enthu-
siasm at top pitch, we can't re-
sist the half a can of paint that
still remains, so We use it up on
several other pieces in the room.
The net result is that instead OF
having the planned effect we
originally intended, which was
part OF a definite color scheme,
the room takes on a half-and-
half, makeshift appearance which
Is disappointing. Then we at
tempt to subordinate too much
Of one color by using another
color or a fabric and find our
selves inhabiting such a busy"
little room that we throw up our
hands in disgust.
Paint color should be the hand
maiden of good room decoration,
. means to an end. not an end in
itself. Use it the way you accent
your wardrobe; a dominant color
full hat to pep up dark suit,
with a repetition of the color on
the coat lapel or gloves.
If you want a lot Of color,
instead Of repeating the same
shade over and over, use two or
three colors, one more dominant
than the other, against neutral
background.
Suppose you wish to make over
. bedroom by painting a collec-
ton of old furniture of various
woods so that they will all "go"
together. Every piece need not be
painted the same color to look
like set Of furniture. This will
look amateurish, Immediately.
The bed, chest of drawers and
desk may be painted white.
Three walls Of the room may be
white and one have an ornate
colorful paper.
Let's pretend deep rose red and
Alice blue are dominant color
notes in the wall paper. Paint
the bedside tables the rose red,
repeat this across the room by
making the door to the hall red.
Two small chairs might be
painted the clear blue with that
color note repeated for the in
terror of the desk and stenciled
design on the outside Lighter
tones of these two colors may be
used for fabric chair seats, flower
prints on the wall.
Then just to prove that you
know your business, place small
accessories strategically about the
room which accent your color
scheme by being entirely diff
ferent. A small box and ash tray
of clear lemon yellow, books or
magazines which may be In lime
green or pale lavender. This
gives the whole arrangement a
natural, unstudied appearance.

spot OF color in the room has

care and placed with deliberate

this by careful attention to it at
night, by removing every last YES

applying makeup or by substi-

You can wash your face well at
night, follow up with good
night cream and avoid that dry,

creamy, protective base, too, to
protect your complexion against
cold winds, ard you may want a

purpose.

Washington women have gone
in Of late for refreshing color
and crisp touches such as perky
white hats or dress trimmings.
The addition Of a frilly jabot or

the use OF color, after winter
of sombre clothes, is an excel
