PRETTY PLASTICS

New plastic wall tiles are a great time-saving feature utirii it comes to cleaning. They can be wiped clean quickly and ilieir pret- ty colors are so attractive.

Tinted plastic is also showing up in towel racks and rings. snap dish- es, cosmetic trays and containers. Bathroom colors are repctitcd in towels, mats, shower curtains, cur- tains. window blinds and own soaps.

Movement: Pull snugly up-and- iii with the middle muscles. hold the up-stretch and bend away over to the left, pulling slim all along the right side. Back to center.

"The woman in white must look professional, but that needn't prevent her from looking attract- ive." this manufacturer claims. After all, she's a woman first and nurse second. Her working clothes should be practical, but decidedly not frumpy!

The stiff high neck and long sleeves of I generation ago have almost disappeared. Six years ago. Mr. Miller sold one uniform out of four with long sleeves; last year every other aspect of modern liv- ing. tradition has given way to functional comfort. Thost who don't like short sleeves have compro- three-quarter length push-ups.

Nurses. bcauticians. and others who Ipeadthelr days in white are buying higher quality uniforms to- day than they did 10 years ago, ac- cording to Mr. Miller. They insist on smart styling and careful fit and they demand fabrics which are hard wearing and easy to care for.

Big news to the white-clad set in 1956 is the use of terylene fab- rics in professional garb.
