I drove car, cooked garden
lunches for a big family, wrote
typewriter letters - all slowly, Of
course, but with increasing east
ness. You probably will decide to
have an artificial arm, which is
real help.
Time Heals Everything
After a year your nerves will be
quieter, you will have discovered
what you can do and what you
can't, and l hope you and Phil will
have learned that even under the
changed circumstances you want to
be married. Believe me, time will
work its usual miracle even with
this stunning blow. There is moth
ing in the loss of an arm to keep
you from being a loving wife, a
happy mother, a successful woman.
That is entirely yours to decide.
You can make your misfortune
your great advantage il through
it you grow kinder, wiser,
stronger, the sort of woman to
whom other troubled spirits turn
for help. If you rise above this
dark time to happiness, concen-
trating your interest on the other
members of your group and their
affairs, you will begin by lifting
the darkest shadow from their
lives, right here and now.
Most of us don't have to take so
severe a trial, in so visible and con-
crete form. But every one of us
has to face terrible reality sooner
or later, every one of us has to
accept the thing we would have
said was completely unbearable.
You are facing yours now, and it is
for you to say whether the family's
comment on Edith in the next few
years is going to be Poor thing,
she's never gotten over it and you
can't blame her! 1t just gives you
the blues to be with herr or
"Edith's wonderful. You never
think of it, she's so sweet and so
busy there isn't a man in town
that doesn't envy Phil his home and
his wife and his children"

straight, white shoes spotless and
neat, clothes pressed and well fit
ted. The joy other people sense in
you looking like that will make you
feel better too.
Warm weather is real challenge
to keeping yourself neat, but it can
be done if you give yourself regular
care. Outline a program, then stick
to it. Once you've established the
routine, most items will take little
time, and you won't feel right about
skipping even the smallest of them.
Fourteen Points Given
For Daily Care
l. Give yourself daily bath or
shower with a thick lather to re-
move all traces of dead skin.
2. Use a deodorant regularly,
after the bath, as well as in the
morning and evening before going
out.
3. Brush your teeth and massage
the gums at least twice day. This

From tip to toe.

is in the best interest of health as
we'll as attractiveness.
4. Use depilatory or other
means, as necessary.
5. Use makeup carefully, but
use it only on clean skin which is
readily acquired through plain soap
and water.
6. Fresh hose daily or twice a
day if you are going out in the eve
ming are essential.
7. Change underwear daily. It's
easily tubbed and, when knitted,
needs no pressing.
8. Brush hair daily; shampoo
every 10 days to two weeks. Brush
shoulders after each combing.
9. Keep nails trim, polished or
not. Use a brush for cleaning
thoroughly.
10. Brush clothes before each
wearing. Everything must be free
from wrinkles when put on.
IL. Air dresses overnight before
hanging in the closet.
IL. Wash dresses often or have
them cleaned frequently.
ID. Don't let yourself slip on &C
cessories. Collars, gloves and
handkerchiefs should be crisply
clean. Buttons, snaps and seams
should be in perfect order.
IA. Shoes must be cleaned, brush
ed or polished daily. Check heels
frequently.

Lipstick for Blind Women

LOS ANGELES. - Two veteran
vaudeville troupers have invented a
device to aid blind women put their
lipstick on straight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Sylvester
were walking down the street when
they noticed a well-dressed, blind
woman with smeared lipstick. They
then designed metal case in the
shape of pair of lips, bowed on
top and straight on the bottom. A
blind girl merely has to fit the con-
tainer to the corners of her mouth.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS

BY KATHLEEN NORRIS
HAS a girl who has lately suf-
LII fered a painful and perman-
ent disability the right to marry
the man to whom she was en-
gagged before the accident that
has handicapped her?
That is the question a New York
state girl, Edith Wilson, asks me
and she tells me the story. She
was graduated from college four
years ago, worked as a private Sec
rotary to a commercial artist,
found herself talented as an artist,
too, and at the same time fell in
love with her employer. All this
went like a roseate dream, and
their wedding was all set.
Then Edith was in a motor
smash-up; Phil was driving, but it
was not Pills fault that a van, out
Of control, shot across the right
hand lane and crashed Pills car
into a wall. Edith woke up in a
hospital and for some weeks they
fought to save the crushed elbow,
but in the end it had to go and the
right hand with it. At first she
took the blow, I gather, as woman
OF strong character would, but it
meant the cruel end Of all her
hopes.
She says now that she will not and
cannot marry Phil; give him a
crippled wife, a woman who. is fated
to be forever conspicuous because
Of that missing arm.
Phil Still Loves Her
When Phil tells her that it makes
no difference in his love, she mere
ly signs. She knows in her heart
that it does. Theirs would have
been a successful business together,
but a small one. Their home would
be Pills country studio. They had
planned to cook meals, do house
work together.
Edith feels that that dream is
over. In her despair she doesn't
want to see Phil or to talk about
the past at all. She wants to get
away, to earn her obscure living
somewhere, far away from all
the world she knew before - just
to get away!
But how can she make fresh
start with only a left hand to help
her? The future looks all dark and
she wants disintcrested advice.
What would be the wise and right
thing to do?
The wise thing, l think, Edith,
would be to put off that marriage
for some time, perhaps year. At
% that is not too long to wait. Then
during that time, go about your life
as naturally as you can. Go back
to the office, file letters, answer the
telephone, lunch with Phil, try to
make yourself in every way just
what you were a few months ago.
Ask him not to discuss future plans,
just to let you go ahead normally
and get yourself adjusted
1t may help you to remember
that some thousands of your fellow
Americans, almost all young men
of about your age, are facing the
same hard problem. Some are
blind, some armless, legless, some
dsfigured, some never to recover
from even more serious nervous
and mental disabilities.
Quietly and bravely, because
everyone forgets their sacrifices
and their predicament, these
men must make their way into
new world, must postpone their
hopes of marriage, of homes of
their own, until they overcome
the new, unexpected difficulty
that the war brought into their
lives.
You'll find that you can do an
amazing lot with only one hand. l
know this because my own right
arm was out of commission for
eight weeks few years ago, and

Freshness, Daintiness
Are Summer Requisites

The tubbed and scrubbed impress
sion is being emphasized these days
because everyone knows it adds so
much to the personality. If you
step out clean and scrubbed into
clean, fresh-air smelling clothing,
you'll be able to keep above the
warm temperatures that come your
way, as they most certainly will.
If you can have clothing that can
be tubbed, get it by all means as
soap-and-water freshness will keep
you impeccably groomed all during
warm weather.
If you do all your own work,
choose things that are less frilly
so you can cut down on corners.
Simple dresses are easier to do
than beruffled ones. A slick and
smooth hairdress, with hair worn
short is easier to brush-shape than
complicated hairdress piled on
top Of the head and pinned to with
in an inch of your skin.
Rinse With Warm
Water After Bath
There's lots of value in the cold
rinse during cool weather after a
bath, but the warm rinse will leave
YOU more refreshed after a bath
during summer.
The bath itself, or shower or
sponge bath, should be thoroughly
relaxing. Take your time and
make certain you remove dirt as
well as skin oil (excess) and dead
skin.
Hair Care Easy
II You Know How
Brushing hair will give it shine
and brilliance, and every head of
hair can use that. If you have a
lot of new hairs coming in all the
time, get a stiff-bristled brush to
train the new short hairs into the
rest of the hair.
If you don't fix your hair every
night, wear a casual style that is
easily manageable. Combs are ex-
cellent for keeping the hair in place
where pins fail, but they should
match the hair as well as possible.
Quick Tips for
Good Grooming
Hang stockings to dry by the toe,
never folding them over hanger.
Shape gloves after rinsing so
they'll be ready to wear.
Keep dress and suit pockets from
collecting too many things.

Womon's World
Rise Above Sweltering Heat
By Keeping Crisp and Cool
By Ertta Haley

HAVE you been in such other
- lately over the new clothes that
you've forgotten just how impor-
tant a good Tubing and scrubbing
can be?
Or have you been unable to put
yourself into new clothes and decid-
ed that since you can't have new
things it's just foolish to worry
about personal care?
If you belong in either class, give
this matter a bit of thought be-
cause it's more important than new
clothes or old. Good grooming or
what it really amounts to-personal
care-is the outer covering which
we show people. Real cleanliness,
that fresh scrubbed look, will make
people ignore clothes that are not
the latest in fashion; or, if you
have new clothes and are careless
about true good grooming, new
clothing does not have its full de-
sired effect

New York, Sept. 23 -(AP)--
Radio, which each fall has taken
enthusiastically to football des-
cription, now has a real rival in
television.
With 81 tele-stations on the air
in 20 communities in all parts of
the country, both college and
professional games have been
signed for the visual facilities.
Games are available Sa+r'r'
and Sunday afternoons in addi-
ton to occasional mglC c,n,ts,s.
Besides local distribution,
some of the games are being
handled via network. So far two
such units are in operation. the
east coast and the newly opened
midwest. When these units are
hooked together, expected by the
year-end, wider relay will be
possible.
Like they have in baseball tel
evision, sponsors have become
interested in football and are CO.
operating in quite number of
instances.
