Many women write to ask what
to do about granulated lids. Often
this is due to eye strain. Unless
the condition clears up in a short
time, you should see on oculist.
Sometimes mild infection may
cause this trouble. Most eye men
recommend applications of a one
per cent ointment of yellow oxide
of mercury. This should be rubbed
on the edge of the lids for several
nights, and after that, if the con-
dition does not clear up, see an

The eyes need a little help!
They are exposed to winds and
dust and an eye bath is very rest

good ones on the market. You
can ask your doctor to recommend
one or you can make your own
solution of boric acid powder. This
should be a saturated solution.
In other words, there should be
none left to see. If there is some
powder floating on top of the
water. strain it off.
Some eyes can also profit by
exercise. This should be done

can give her. In general, I'd like
to make these suggestions to
women in buying their shoes.
l. If it's a warm day when you
shop for your shoes, let the sales
man fit them a wee bit snugger.
Your feet naturally swell a little
during the summer.
2. Do not demand a certain
size. Let the salesman measure
your foot and fit you correctly
that way.
8. Consider the new colored
shoes to spike" your wardrobe.
But if you want to blend with the
color of a new suit or dress. be
sure to cut a swatch from the
seam and take it along with you.
4. Be sure that your stockings
are properly fitted when you try or
shoes (and when you wear them
too)!
5. Once you buy your shoes
take care of them. Keep them
well brushed or polished and
have the heels repaired when they
need it-before it's too late fol-
the shoemaker to do a neat job
Store them in a covered place witt
shoe trees in them.

Look at the end of your pencil or

There are some authorities who
recommend brushing the lashes on
top, from the base to the end, for
stimulating the growth of lashes.
I, myself, do not think this is
helpful. You obtain much more
stimulation by brushing under
meath the lashes, upward, from
the base to the ends of the hairs.
Gently rubbing along the edge
of the lids is also helpful. There
are many products which claim to
promote the growth of lashes.
Maybe they do, but I think that
the stimulation you get from rub
bing the salve on, and brushing
the lashes upward, is most bene-
fetal.

Tea Party Fare

Popular for tea parties among
the kindergarten set are big rolled
sugar cookies or molasses cookies
The dough for these cookies is easy
to roll out if it is chilled thorough
ly. Another work-simplifier is a
canvas cover on the bread board
and a stockinet-covered rolling
pin. Keep part of the dough in the
refrigerator while you work with
the rest of it. Cut big rounds of
the dough for the children's cook
les, putting a few raisins, walnut
half or other decoration in the
center. Some of the cookie dough
may be rolled thin and cut into
hearts, diamonds, clubs or spades
for grown-Ups' card party or cof-
fee treat.

for concentrating, I'm Of the
opinion you can tell more about
a woman by the shoes she wears
than reading her palm.
With this evolution, modern
shoes have to be designed to give
a woman an opportunity to ex-
press her personality. The vogue
for the delicate open shell shoe
and strip sandal has obviously
been built by the woman who
glories in her dainty feet and
ankles. For women who like to
wear the latest whim and fash
ion surprise" there are the new
ghillie ties which bring a tradl-
tional sports shape to the cock
tail party or theatre-with tlne
criss cross lacingS of faille or kid.
For this woman, too, there are the
new evening versions of the spec
tatorS pump, with combinations
of brocade and satin or satin and
kid replacing the sturdy calf and
buckskin of other years. For
those who like to keep one step
ahead of fashion and who take
pride in introducing the latest
trend, there are the coming higher
rising shoeS-like my new ones
that come up over the nStep and
have a cuff of Silver-blue mink.
For women who want their feet
to look smart, but like to walk
miles every day, there are me-
dium heeled shoes with plenty OF
helpless looking eclat. The shell
shoe, too, is now being made with
a medium heel. And always, year
in and year out, and decade in and
decade out, there is the exquisltely
cut, perfectly fitted plain pump
which to me will always represent
the epitome of fine shoe crafts
manShip.
Now, though each of these shoes
suggests types of fashion-con-
scious women-all women have
many personalities at different
times. How much the shoe she
wears is right" for the occasion
and the costume she is wearing
reveals a great deal, too. If I see
a woman teetering on heels too
high on a city street while she
shops, or a woman in pair of
low-heeled walking shoes at a
cocktail party, I Immediately think
she either lacks discretion or just
can't be bothered. Fashion is
more and more tending toward a
pleasing whole" picture effect,
which to be perfect. requires plan
ning-with as much attention to
accessories as to the dress or coat.
One of the thrills of any craft
is finding something different
enough to revolutionize it. This
year, I have had that thrill in
bringing out what I call the 21St
century shoe. 1t is WiSp OF
slipper that is really more like a
sole gone glamorouS, curling up
around the foot and staying on
by magic instead of ties, buckles
or buttons. 1t is Sculptured
rather than cobbled, from a single
piece of wet leather moulded over
a wooden foot shape and model
ed with an artists tools into deli
cate shallow petal scallopS that
grasp the foot firmly-walking,

single bit of metal and with only
the thinnest ankle strap added.
This new floating" shoe weighs
virtually nothing and will be
available in both evening and
sports variations.

Sandwiches

When you plan your noontime
meal around sandwiches, you do it
both with ease and good nutrition.
Even hot sandwiches, such as
toasted cheese, bacon and egg,
hamburgers, Canadian style bacon
and Swiss cheese are quickly pre-
pared to satisfy a family's eternal
appetite. Two slices of bread yield
only about $50 calories, yet the
B-vitamins, iron and protein this
bread provides contribute their
share to the protection of health.
For this reason, enriched bread
and plain enriched rolls are al
ways included in the most modern
