buted to her
 wakefulneSS, and her nerves became more and more jittery.
 Julia's mother was an eXperi- enced home nurse who felt it was her responsibility to help her daugh- ter kep fit for the important work she was doing. She at one time in her own experience had been given a sedative bath, and remembered its soothing and restful effect, so she persuaded Julia to try the treat ment.
 The bath tub was filled with wa- ter at just about body temperature A heavy bath towel was placed in the bottom of the tub. Julia climbed into the tub and lay back in a re- clining position, resting her head on a folded bath towel. Her mother arranged an old blanket over the top of the tub to hold the heat in. Then Julia relaxed comfortably for 30 minutes.
 NIGHTLY RITUAL
 At the end of the first Is minutes her mother removed the plug, drain ed off part of the cooling water, and added more hot water to keep the bath at about an even temperature. Meanwhile she opened Julias bed, and prepared cup of hot milk for her.
 At the end of the half hour, when the treatment was over Julia was quickly rubbed dry and imme- diately put to bed. There, she re- ceived the cup of hot milk, which ehsipped at her leisure. After that the window was opened and the room darkened. Julia, relaxed, warm and comfortable, had no difficulty in going to sleep.
 The sedative bath became night ly ritual, and Julia found it a great help in carrying her through a try ing period.

The civilian doesn't make as many of his own decisions as he used to. He is told what he can buy and what he can't. He is told just how far he can drive his car. He is told just how much he can eat of certain foods, etc, etc. SAME OLD STORY
 And the eX-service man will certainly find plenty of lines to stand in-when he waits to get into a movie, while he waits for cigarettes, while he waits for a train reservation. while he waits to check in or out of a hotel, while he waits for table in re1- taurant, while he waits to be hand ed . form to fill out for the ration board, and then while he waits to find out if filling it out did any good.
 And as for saying "yes," that's what most of us are doing these days. We aren't arguing. We let ourselves be pushed around by anybody whose job it is to serve US and who feels in mood for pushing.
 It looks as though the returned serviceman won't be too out of place in civilian life-for civilian life has been changing, too.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Yeast Cake Masks Erase BIackheadS
BY ALICIA HART .NEA Staff Writer

Writes a woman with sense of humor, q look as though I wore a veil, my skin is so dotted by black heads" but her letter winds up with a desperate "what to do?"
 What I'd do, I told her, would be to use a mask, the formula for which-one yeast cake softened up with a little peroxide to make a paste sounds like something plucked from grandma's beauty book. But it's the last word in a beauty y-pack treatment used in Hollywood.
 You put the yeast mixture on a clean skin, of course, and be care- full to keep it away from your eyes. After it's applied, lie down on your back and stay there until the mask dries. Then wash 1t of, and see If your skin isn't considerably im- proved.

SPRING HATS BLOSSOM FORTH
By EPSIE KINARD NEA Stan Writer

New York = Spring trend fore cast by bright new bonnetS-bloom- ing for the holidays like out-of-sea- son overs = indicates that lot of hat, which put millinery through a big revolution in the early fall, is settling down into a headpiece of modified size.
 But judging from showings of leading stylists, winter? -into-spring hats are not yielding an inch when it comes to spangles, yelling, em- broidery, feathers, flowers or color and, more often than not, lot of color daringly mixed for one daunt- less head. If anything, new bonnets will be more coquettish, extravagant and dressed-up than their fall pre- decessorS.
 Because the neat head either kept tidy with net or a chignon has caught on, you can expect to see not only more turbanS and toqueS that clinch the effect, but fancier headpieces in this type of millinery. At the lower left is Side- -draped turban which you are going to see lot of because it has silhouette which has proven to be altering to most women. The model pictured of white faille, embroidered with gold oak leaves outlined with black, is designed to make 8 girl stepping out for the holidays look as regal as a rajah in her brand new headpiece. At upper right is toque gone festive in pale pink satin paved top jewelled stones and an cxtravagantly looped visor veil.
 As springtine is feeling as they are festive in mood are hats that eprout flowers - lilies of the valley, violets, roses such as the two models sohwn below. Reminis- cent of Helleu, French portrait

LITERATURE AND OTHERWISE
IN From Shakespeare to Joyce"
doubleday, Doran: $500 Elmer
Edgar Stol has compiled a series
Of essays covering variety of liter
airy subjects, works of distinguish
ed writer's.
Author, in analyzing these works,
explains that each piece Of writing
has survived as a classic not be-
cause 1t was written for posterity,
but because 1t was typical Of the
period it represents. Thus we can
understand how literature mirrors
the tastes of the times as well as
the mind of the writer.
Book is valuable addition to IL
brary of the English literature
student.
FOR a bang-up, six-shootin'
session with western writer's, there
are couple Of new ones, "Getley's
Gold" by Frank Robertson (Dut-
ton: so and Saddle Hawks" by
Bliss Lomax doubleday, Doran:
$2).
Former is especially exciting, in
that it mixes gold with cattle rust
ling, bashing in Of skulls by the
bad men and eroes, a lovely love
element, and q descriptive quality
that paints the old west. Hero Is a
calm cattle boy, who dons his six
guns only after a friend of his dis
covers some cached gold and the
villains ambush and eventually kill
the discoverer. Heroine is a slim
kid, out Of place in the rough
country, v'.lo turns out to be a
swell gal and one who saves the
life of her lover when he family
runs down the killers.
Saddle Hawks" deals with fur
Their adventures of those wo range
detectives, Grumpy Gibbs and
Rainbow Ripley. Pretty difficult
yarn to follow, inasmuch as the
two Hawkshaws start out to solve
one crime in the heir of one per-
son, and wind up solving it in the
hire of another.
But it's full of action, gold,
shotin' and just what you want to
read in a book designed to take
your mind off the uncertainties of
war, postwar and the lack of good
prime roast beef.
HALLELUJAH
FANNIE HURST'S latest is
"Hallelujah" (Harpers: $2.50). And
it's story characteristic of this
writer's offerings - well up among
the good novels that have been
written in our generation.
Deals with Lily Brown and her
three loves. Left on orphan when a
child, she married quite young, and
was left a widow after two years
of matrimony. Slipped again and
married the son of a wealthy fam
lily, who, through his drunkenness,
became impoverished, Lily along
with him. Came a separation,
hubby gets killed in a drunken
brawl, and Lily again married, this
time school chum.
