Some few people react happily TO
hot weather. but most of us are
quite uncomfortable when the tenn
perature scars We break out In
heat rasheS and temperS. find our
selves tired and unreasonable. and
literally stew Our way through the
neat waves.
Not many OF US can leave our
family or our job TO seek cool wealth
er and ii behooVeS us to learn all
the tricks in summer comfort. The
heaven of air-condltionlng is not yet
available generally for private use
Perhaps the first thing We should
do is to apply the spirit Of La
Manana' to our every day lives
Most people living in tropical climes
do this. with resulting charm in llv-

anyway and we should take the
summer time, when thoughts and
physical activity are hardest. for

take it easy. emotionally and phySi-
cally!
/ We also would be wise to simplify
life IN every possible way. Eat Oh
! trays on the porch. use paper nap
kins and paper plates if you are
without help. cook meat that will
last several days and take advan-
tage Of the frozen vegetables and
fruits in acute domestic situations
Your clothes should also be SIM
plitied and fitted to warm days

minty, bubble baths and lots of hot
weather cologne and bath powder
The main rules for beauty in hot
weather is meticulous grooming and
a crisp cool appearance.
Eat foods that are cooling While
the long cool drink is refreshing it
! is not actually cooling in effect
Rich, heavy, calorie- packed foods
are heating even though they are
cold. Build your surnme: diet about
fresh fruits and vegetables, lean
meat, fruit juice, green salads eggs
and milk and you will find the
weather more bearable and expert
I 'ence an energy pickup.
/ Remember that although you may
not feel inclined to physical exer-
tion in hot weather there is nothing
that will cool you off for the day
like a spot of exercise during which
you work up a good perspiration
Those who do not perspire freely
suffer greatly from high tempera-
lures.

What's YOUR Hobby?
BY Betty Miles

Maybe last years hat has become
the bane Of your existence. Or per-
haps your budget can't stretch To
include that really gay chapeau
you've had your heart set on. Mrs
Philip B. Eaton, wife Of Rear Ad-
miral Eaton, has found doing
things" to her hats a fascinating
hobby. fun TO boot-and boon to
a smart appearance. 1t all began in
1928. when she learned the knack in
Honolulu. And SO proficient has
she become at this point that she
now can complete job in 10 min
utes She claims 1t isn't necessary
for woman to take Instructions
gination. and patient effort. can
do wonders.
Mrs. Eaton's apprenticeship con-
sisted in working on inexpensive hat
frames, and she indorSes this as the
first step for the novice. She also
used three-Way mirror, important
in revealing the hat from all angles
She experimental with flowers and
feathers, and material cut into dlf-
ferent shapes She also expert
mented until she found the right
angle that suited her particular
type.
Mrs. Eaton believes in making q
hat look less stiff, at the same time
leaving 1t chic and stylish, but
keyed to the individuals personality
She buys hat-or takes all out
moded model, takes 1t apart. and
produces new creation. Much OF
the charm Of the new product de-
peuds on the changing Of the TRIM
ming, and the changing Of the an
giles. One example that sounded
particularly attractive was Panama
hat that was stripped down, then
decorated with pastel feather flow

with green dot Another hat

the crown, Mrs. Eaton shaped the
straw to make a narrow brim. made
the remaining straw into two roses
and wears the hat at a smart tilt.
The croWnless hat is a boon to the
amateur hatmaker this year, Mrs
Eaton claims. In one instance the
lady simply removed the crown from
an old black hat and decorated 1t
with one huge taupe rose. Herein
lies a special trick, taking of the
crown and using the brim to shape
the hat to suit ones personality.
Our chapeaumaker also ex-
pounded some interesting theories
on the why's and wherefors OF hat
wearing. A round-faced gal should
tilt nat from left to right. And
any one with really round face
should never wear a hat back of
the halrline.
If double chin is bane to your
beauty your hat should feature an
uneven line at the forehead, ac-
cording to Mrs. Eaton. A feather
or dab of flowers on one side will
create that effect A large woman,
she claims-the woman classified as
"Stylishly Stout'-should never wear
a large hat. A small hat does
better by her.
II you're a shOrt-necked femme
you should wear your hat tilted up
at the back and on the left side
with the side tilt about double that
Of the back Then tilt the hat
smartly over the right eye. Women
should study themselves, says Mrs.
Eaton. A woman should make
hat part Of her
And a parting note-Mrs. Eaton
leaves her creations unfinished on
the inside.
