HINTS FOR CLOSING
YOUR SUMMER HOME

When you close your summer
home for the season, make sure
mice and squirrels will not be un-
invited winter guests. Store bed
ding in metal trunks, tin-lined box
es or boxes covered with metal
screening as a precaution against
mice. Use steel wool to fill cracks
in cupboards.
Place all food supplies, as well
as candles and soap, in tight me-
tai containers. If you have gaso.
line or kerosene lamps, pour out
these inflammable fluids before
leaving.
Screen over the top of the chin
ney to prevent squirrels from en-
tering. Close the damper on any
stove or fireplace.
For your refrigerator, discon-
meet electricity. remove all food,
empty ice trays and wash with a
solution of baking soda and water.
For safety disconnect all other
electrice appliances.

eS.

sident, conducted a brief meeting

Dior To Market
CirdIes And Bras
For His H-Line
BY NADEANE WALKER

Paris R-Thin or fat, short CT
tall-any body at all can have the
revolutionary new H-line figure
come November.
So said Christian Dior today in
announcing that he will market
ready-made girdles and bras then
in the new shape he's sponsoring,
this season.
Otherwise the fashion car kept
his H-foundation a dark secret, re-
fuSing to permit photos or sketches,
or even to let fashion reporters
have a quick peek at the under
garments which flatten the bust
while raising it several inches.
He would admit only that the
new bra is really only a half-bra,
with the upper part of the cup
missing.
Women who have protested that
they are too bosomy to conform to
the flat look were assured that they
will be all fitted in Dior's special
H-line girdleS and bras, to be sold
in his own shop here and a few
exclusive French lingerie shops.
Lily of France, an American
company, will sell them in the
United States and Canada.
Included will be day girdle, an
evening girdle, a short bra and
a long bra. There'n be nothing
exotic about the colors or mate
rails. But the prices?
"Well, of course" said a repre-
sentative, "there'll be a Dior label
and the prices will be Dior prices"
