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!"

How women and girls
maj/get wanted relief
from functional periodic pain
Cardui is a liquid medicine
which many women say has
brought relief from the cramp
like agony and nervous strain
of functional periodic distress.
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

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.

soup

1 teaspoon flour (optional)

Electric Fans A Help
In Household Heating
Aid In Fuel Saving By Making
Radiators More Efficient -
Dispel Odors—Defrost
and Liven Air
This winter, with fuel scarce and
dear, make your electric fans save
you money and solve some of your
heating and ventilating
Probably, if you have steam heat
or hot water heat, your radiators
are not doing nearly as much work
as they could. 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

YES, IT'S GODDARD AND MEREDITH — That famous husband-and
wife team, Paulette Goddard and Burgess Meredith, are together
again on the screen, this time co-starred in the new United Artists
release, "The Diary of a Chambermaid,” a picturization of the
celebrated Octave Mirbeau novel. 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.
