WE, THE WOMEN - Compassion For Wounded Must Be Kept In Control

is theirs and going ahead with the everyday business of living. If they find pitying glances every- where they go, if their friends and families let their sympathy over flow into words, their job will be much harder. Those men deserve our utmost respect and admiration. They deserve thoughtful consider ation. But they don't deserve to be openly pitied.
 PITY IS HARD TO FACE
 It is easier, much easier, to show the overwhelming pity we feel than to hide under @ casual, calm man. ner. But it isn't easier for the men who must face the pity.
 So we must learn to hold our tongues, to keep from rushing into the kind of sympathetic talk that might relieve our feelings but could only harm the wounded service mans.
 It is a fact that the wounded men who are being shipped back to this country are often loath to face their families and friends. Perhaps the main reason for that is that 1t is easier for them to face the casual manner of strangers than the pity ing sympathy of relatives and friends

 If you wear a unifornl-volunteer group girl or G. I. Jane-you need to work harder to look nicer than you do in civilian duds.
 Believer of this is the socially prominent Mrs. John M. Schiff, AWVS treasurer for Greater New York, who thinks a uniform de- bends more upon good posture for dash and distinction than it does upon materials and tailoring. Her carriage is as erect in her quiet gray uniform as good posture can make it.
 The meticulouS fit of her uniform is something Mrs. Schiff is exacting about. Shoulders of her jacket are squared to her own. Skirt hem is kept precisely even, Waistline is nipped where it ought to be.
 With reputation for fastidious grooming to defend, she keeps hel uniform spotless and well pressed is convinced that regulation shirt will hardly ever oblige with a second wearing. A neat tie, buttoned-up jacket, a mirror-bright shoe shine hair-do confined by net and a complete absence of jeweury, ex- cept wrist watch, are as frank re- factions of her good grooming habits as full image of her in a mirror would be.

Snub Heat In Dressy Sheers

By EPsIE KINARD NEA Stan writer

New York.-The cool black sheer-every woman wants at least one such dressy frock that can shrug off the heavy hot hand of summer-shares honors this year with brown.
 Their shorter sleeves, lower necklines and gossamer tex lures combine to snub the weather, and mergers with satin and jewelled trimming make sheers look more for nal.
 Example of how sheer black can cut shine with satin is shown in the model at the left with the lustrous long torso-bodice. Dull crepe provides contrast in slim skirt, short sleeves and sil- houette-softening bows.
 And for proof that brown is right up front with black in dressy sheers, there is the model at the right which achieves a dinner at eight look by means of delft drap- ing, a plunging neckline and be- ewelled letter "S," wrought of rope pearls.

 Meat marketing experts forsee little additional hardship for most shoppers. The only people who will feel the pinch of higher point values are those close to meat packing areas who have been con. suming more than their share of choice rationed cuts. Others are ex. pected to have a better chance to find rationed meats for their new ten-point KS, YB. and Z8 red stamps, after higher points have had time to take effect in the meat-marketing areas. The tradi- tional summer tapering of of meat eating is also expected to help make ends meet on your point shopping. NYLON FRONT
 You'll see more nylon blouses and lingerie made from an additional 750,000 yards of nylon parachute cloth which military buyers are turning back. But there's no hope for nylon hose in l944. The Army Is hopping for 28 million square yards of nylon products before years end. Especially tough fabrics for jungle warfare are needed.

 encounter the bedbug is the most disconcerting. The discovery that during the night the baby has been bitten from head to heel is cause for alarm, for, according to medical authorities, the bite of 8 bedbug may carry such diseases as syphilis, yellow fever and typhus.
 It is no disgrace to acquire bed- bugs accidentally, but 1t is 8 de- cided reflection on homemaker to allow them to remain in the house. One may pick up bed- bugs while travelling in congested public carriers because they will hitchhike their way on clothing and in travelling bags. It is pos sible that old railway cars now be- ing brought back into use may be infested with them. There is dan- ger too, that they may be harbored in old secondhand furniture, in the creviceS of mattresses and beds and in the cracks of floors. Bed bugs also live behind mopboards and holdings, behind loose wall paper, and in cracks in plastered walls.
 Fumigation by an expert is the quickest way to rid 8 home of bedbugs. An application of kero- sent or turpentine will kill them in contact, but it will leave a stain on fabrics. Gasoline or naptha leave no stain, but are highly explosive and dangerous to use for this purpose.
 A coat of lead paint on floors and woodwork, and new wall covering of paint or paper will seal their hiding places and help to rid the house of this major nuisance.
