It is easy enough for a woman to make a man fall in love with her the first time, but it is.a stunt that she cannot repeat.

UMIBRELLAS ABE HIGH FASHION

Whether the weather is lunny or gloomy, many high-fashioned wo- men carry umbrellas because they're beautiful. They're formal. They're pretty enough to dress up a formal afternoon costume.

The new picture in umbrella styles is tailored. slim and neat. And those elongated handles we used last year will be in vogue again for fall and winter. One par- ticularly fine aspect of the cane- handled bumbershoot. seem: to me, is that it's harder to misplace or to forget . . . but, unfortunately, one big reason that it's harder to for- get ll that it's so expensive. Handles this fall will be carved of imported horn. malacca, olive wood and ivory. Something new has been added to the cases you tuck your umbrella in as you're swinging down the zxenue. Cases are now being made of copper and gold kid, lined with leather. They have zipper closings and turned back cuffs

Corduroy is being used for some umbrella calel too. Generally it's cut of one color, with a different shade in the lining.

This shows up in the turn-back cuff.

The umbrella itself is going in for different treatments in color too. For instance, umbrellas are using piping effects to heighten their style. When the ribs of a pain umbrella are pip..l in plaid fabric,’ it gives a lO-rib job the look of a ‘JO-rib model. Optical illusion of course.

PLENTY 0F SOAP. WARM

Cleanse neck and shoulders with warm water, soap and a complexion brush. Use the brush with a firm rotary motion. This cleansing method tends to stir up circulation. Rinse and dry the skin well. Now use cleansing cream and remove the residue of dirt and cream with tissues. Now wrap your shoulders and neck right up to the Jawline in a turkish towel which has been wrung out in hot water.

By noWthe skin should have a rosy glow. lf not then your circulation certainly is not working properly and you should use this home treatment often. says Lois Leeds. While the skin is warm, moist and glowing, apply a generous amount of mineral oil, which you have first warmed in an enameled container. Use_the right hand to mold the left shoulder and the left hand for the right shoulder. Cup the fingers and "plop" them up and down on the lkln.

If there ll a willing pair of hands to nld you, have them grasp the shoulder: and mold from the top of the shoulder to the neckline. After you finish this smooth on a generous amount of throat cream and leave on all night. If you are afraid of getting cream on your sheets and pillow cases, cover the skin with an old. soft piece of linen. In the morning spray the skin with icy-cold water.

FIRST THINOS FIRST

First things first is the rule of the wise housewife. She makes sure that lier family has a _weil bal- anced diet with just enough sea- soning to make the food attractive. She soft-pedals the afiic and pickles; rnllk takes the place of coffee. tea or soft drinks whenever possible. She learns the secrets of making good food interesting.

‘A small amount of leftover ham may be put through the meat chop- per and used as a middle layer when making scalloped potatoes.

The rich nutty-flavor of ripe olives is from the high percentage of fruit oil they contain. The oil content is on a par with that found in ordinary table cream.

TINY WAILTS 0N SOLES OI“

FEET One of the painful and disabling allnients of men and women is plantar warts. fliese little wart; on the soles of the feet now arc‘ believed due to infection. Cutting through the hard callous covering these warts. tiny blood vessel bun- dles. like red or brown dots. can be seen. llntii recently the most success- ful treatment of plantar warts has been X-ray treatment. one treat-- merit usually being sufficient to cause disappearance of the warts. A recent method of treatment is by use of radioactive phorphorus. As the X-ray treatment and also radium treatment are not. without danger. Dr. C. R. McLaughlin. in describes l. combination of curettage (cutting or scrapingl and diathermy which he has found effective. l-le pares down the overlying horny skin until the typical bundles of the wart can be plainly seen. A special cutting. spoon-shaped instrument (Volk- ntann spooni. the exact size of the wart. then is driven into the foot at the cdge of the wart and swept around so that the core is shelled out completely. The hard. fibrous collar at'l.he neck of the cavity or hole, left after the removal of the wart, is trim-tied with scissors and the hole converted into a "saucer." The base or bottom of the hole, which is tough, then must be scraped until smooth and touched repeatedly with a diathermy needle or an elec- trtc cautery. using a fine point with a light touch. A small wick of ribbon gauze is inserted into the cavity. and the whole area or spot covered with gauze is held in place by elastoplast. The patient usually can walk im- mediately if careful: and after the plug has been removed in 48 hours there should be little discomfort. Healing usuallyls complete in sev- en days to ten days.

Remember. X-ray or radium treatment still is considered the best treaunent. but. overdosage

with radium or X-rays is respon- siblc for poor results. "lf a single treatment with X-rays or radium lath to cure. this method of treat- ment should be discontinued." A plantar wart is a "buried" wart and requires care in removal.

Another method sometimes used is elecirodesiccatlon, in which the wart is dried up by electricity under a local anaesthetic.‘
