Dept, of Public Schools, instructor. i t * m PRETTY LADY! Femininity is the word for glamour this bright new season. It’s a man’s world again. And when a man has his choice he says, “I want my women to look pretty!” What could be' prettier than frilly parasols splashed against sentimental pink crepe? They’re I as provocatively feminine as the coquettish Southern belles who •nee carried them. Cap sleeves are feminine, too. Sleeves that aren’t really sleeves at all, but a rippling carry-over from softly rounded shoulders. They expose soft arms to the gaze •f the sun . . . and to the admiring glances of the male. Necklines * should be just as revealing as the aserest wisp of sleeves. The man in your life might have had this Fashion Frock of the Week in mind when he said, “I like By women to look pretty!"

Here’s how it may help: 4 Taken like a tonic, it ™ should stimulate appe tite, aid digestion,* thus help build resist ance for the “time” to come. Started 3 days before “your time”, it should help relieve pain due to purely functional periodic causes. Try Cardui. If it helps, you’ll be glad you did. CARDUI By Edna Mae McIntosh The use of left-over canned baby1 foods is a problem which concerns many mothers. Canned baby foods may be as safely stored as any other cooked foods, if promptly covered (preferably in the original container — either tin or glass) and refrigerated. However, even with this knowledge, some mothers refuse to feed their infants other than from a freshly opened con tainer but, at the same time, de plore the waste which results. If there :s another young child in the household, their foods may often be adapted to his diet, thus saving time and money. Or per haps the busy mother would wel come similar dishes in her own lunch. Below are given a few simple uses. cream soup % can strained vegetable or strained soup Ct to cup milk >2 teaspoon butter 1 teaspoon flour (optional) Salt and other suitable seasonings Heat the milk and butter (or make thin white sauce if flour is used), add strained vegetable or soups, other seasonings and serve. Tomato-Vegetable Cocktail *4 cup chilled tomato juice 14 can strained vegetables or soup chilled 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice Salt Blend ingredients and serve cold. The strained soups give especially interesting flavors.

Heated air tends to rise and stay near the ceiling, cre ating "warm pockets." When those pockets are broken up the warmth is carried into other portions of your home where it is more needed. KEATING AID Try placing an electric fan so that it keeps the heated air around your radiator in motion. You will find that the warm air in circula tion will heat up the "cold corners" and will liven and freshen the air in the whole room. You may have to experiment a little to find the right position for the fan. but the result will be worth while. AIR FRESHENER 1 Perhaps, you are one of those people who dislike the musty, fusty atmosphere of storage spaces, and closets. Try placing an electric fan for an hour or two each week so that it gives vigorous circulation to the air in the spaces where you have stored summer clothing and draperies, or wraps, or clothing in use. It will freshen things up and discourage moths. WINDOW DEFROSTER If you are one of those fortunate fo|ks with a big picture window, take a tip from the automobile ac cessory makers and use your fan for a defroster. Just set your elec tric fan so that it will carry warm air from your room onto the glac3 V'„.'

Paulette looks natural enough, we'd say, but one has to look twice to recognize Burgess behind his French goatee and those prop eyebrows. Meredith not only appeared in this picture but is listed as one of the co-producers, as well.
