IF YOUR. MIDR-IPF IS STREAMLINED II YORK _lf you are b136, vith a stream-lined mldriff, the zlvo-piece bathing suit is for you. [his year there are so many lovely lesigns and fabrics to select from mat a choice is often difficult. One such lovely, is a two-piece suit designed for both "sun and swim." Of printed pique, it has an adorable little skirt with an un- even hemline to give a glimpse of the little black bloomers. Black bands the waistline and outlinesl the halter-strap bra. I The wise girl selects her printed bathing suit as carefully as she! does a printed dress. she does not go for over-size patterns if these are not generally becoming, al-, though she may wear much more, exotic and gay prints on the beach’ than she would for afternoon. STREAMLINE FQR. YOUR BEACH DEBUT If that mild discontent which you feel about your figure remains too mild to spur you to action, get into your bathing suit. Sidle up‘ to your mirror for a side-view ap- praisal. If what you see is not what you want your public to see when you make your beach debut better start exercising. An hour's brfsk walk taken daily -brisk enough to clip off one mile In l5 minutes —will whittle down bulges. More fun, though, is bicy- cling. Borrow Junior's wheel and peddle a few miles a day. But take in a road that makes you climb with your wheel. If fleshy pads on hips are the trouble spots, localized exercise is best for slicing these off. Best ia the side scissor-kick.

KEEP LIGHT HATS IMMACULATE White or pastel-colored hats designed to make a gal look fresh and cool fail miserably at their job if spots sully their immaculate look. Smudgee, soiled bands and crumpled trimmings, however, can be dealt with. There are. for example snowy white straws. Most Amudges can be rubbed off with an art-gum eraser. Or take this bit of advice from an expert milliner: rub a slice of freshly-cut lemon over a spot, wiping off Juicy moisture with a dry cloth. If a hat-band is marred by per- spiration stsins or soil from hair. take it out and put in a new one. There's no trick at all to stich- ing a clean grosgrain ribbon into s. hat. When ribbon bows show the strain of wear, renew them. To keep new bows crisp, stuff loops with tissue paper. In between wearings, house your hat in a box, but first wrap it in tissue paper. ‘Fucking a sachet in with the paper is a mllllners trick for keeping a straw hat fragrant and more in- viting to wear. ENAMEL RATES GOOD CARE Enamel is tough but it will stain. crack and chip if used roughly. To preserve the gleaming beauty of the enamel in bathroom. and kit- chen fixtures the Canadian In- stitute of Plumbing and Heating offers the housewife the following suggestions. Avoid use of harsh, abrasive clean s, or steel wool. Once the enamel-hes been scratched. it be- comes lncreaslngly hard to keep clean. The best way to preserve the enamel is to clean it with soap and hot water using a coarse cloth or brush. For stubborn stains use a non-gritty cleanser on a damp, coarse cloth. Cleansers prepared especially for plumbing fixtures can be obtained. It is better to dispose of garbage than to use a triangular sink strain- er that permits the action of acids from fruits, vegetables, tea leaves and coffee grounds to mar enamel. Using the sink for chipping ice, chopping meat, slicing and shred- [ding vegetables may chip the ena- mel. Avoid hard blows by heavy pots or pans or sliding them across the enameiled surface. If it is necessary to stand in the bath tub while cleaning or paint- ing bathroom walls, heavy protec- tlve cover should be used -in the bottom. ' Bpilled medicines, cosmetics, hair rinses, drain pipe solvent and photographic solutions should al- ways be wiped up immediately. Have dripping faucets repaired promptly to avoid stains, resulting from minerals in the water. {Modern _ Etiquette By Ioberte I400 ‘ Wsiéviwi-VWWDMOG Q.

We had breakfasted then, and James had betaken himself from the table, where I still loitered over a. later cup of tea, w his old arm- chair. There, if his time warrants it. he likes to remain long enough to hear the weather forcast. This, I confess, appears to be one of the the occasions above all, when I am inclined to be particularly chatty, so that often the radio continues unheard while we discuss a cur- rent interest of ours until we hap- pen to catch: “and Charlottetown ~85". Then we look at each other blankly, having missed it almost entirely. “And what" James will begin "did you have to be talking for, Ellen?" and I catching at a straw to stay his disappointment say sprightly: "It's going to be very warm." And because these are com- mon to this summer month, I add in a manner which conveys that in spite of his fears. I had caught a goodly part of the broadcast "and light winds, Jam." "And did it say anything about rain, Ellen?- for if it's going to rain today, we'd go at some other work." But, dear me, much as I might be tempted to, I may not cross the subtle and alluring line of prevarication, even to soothe James. l This morning however, there was to be a wait for his favorite news. so in the interval, h; had picked Woman's Realm-r Social andperpsonal f Fas DOROTHY DIX ‘ SA YS- l stout-m Child t Marriage a L"J5_‘E&§l".l'FE13L‘L'§_°"_ARD1-\N -~ ' Boy. 1.8, ll l rad-l’ F Fasllly lglloplalslhllltloe m p l DEAR. M588 DIX: I am e widow with a daughter who will be 19 in October. She thinks she is in love with a boy who has just turned l8. and I am perfectly sick over the whole thing because I am very anxious for her to finish college. But she feels that there is no reason for her to study further because she has found the One and Only. She has never gone with many boys. so how does she know whether to face life and the care of a wife and, of course, children? Do you think it will be right for rne to keep hands off and let her go ahead and marry this boy? Or should I tell her that she must finish college; then, if she is still in love with the boy, she can man- hlm? I try not to consider myself too much, but need her so dread- fully to help fill the gap that the recent death oi her father has made. MR3. E. W. EVIQY MARRIAGE HAZARDOUS ANSWER: I am no advocate of child mar- riage. Human nature being what it is, every UIQTIlBEQ l8 bound to be full of hazards, for it is no easy thing for a man and woman to adjust themselves to each other, even when they are adults and have had some experience of life. But for youngsters, who are growing and llhfllllllfl! every day and whose characters, dis- positions and habits are still unformed. marriage is a foolhardy risk that even a plunger should hesitate to take. Girls mature two or three years yo nger than boys do, so your daughter who is nearly l9 may be rea y for marriage, but certainly no boy of 1B. He is not prepared to accept the responsibility of marri- age. llhlcept in unusual cases. he has no means of even supporting a wife. Sure as shooting. as soon as a bobby-soxer and a hobbledehoy get married and the novelty and excitement of the wedding has worn of! they begin to regret it. They want the fun that belongs to their time of life. They want to run around and have good times and dance. They don't want to be tied down with a baby. ‘They want to be free to do what all the other youngsters are doing. All of this has been amply proved by the vast number of too young marriages that took place during the war and that are now ending up in the divorce courts. DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I was happily married for seven years, but for the past three years my life has been simply unbearable. My husband is very cnlel to me and my four small children. Recently I have met a widower who is very rich and who wants to marry me. He tells me that if I will divorce my husband he will take two of the chil- dren, but four would be too many. - I love this man very much. What should I do? DESPERATE. ANSWER: One hardly can blame the widower for not saddling himself down with four small stepchildren, Two klndergarteners pretty well knock the romance out of wedding bells and set a man to figuring on the cost of rearing and educating a couple of youngsters. and four are practically prohibitive unless the suitor has a strongly de- velorled paternal instinct and doesn't obiect to noise. However, your problem is the old one of the strength of mother love. Do you think that any man will repay you for giving up two of your children? And how would you ever decide which of the four you would keep? Would there ever be a day. night or minute in which she is really in love or not? Aside from that, is a boy of l8 old enough I they had forgotten you? Consider well the risk that you drink after we are married. with me. AIISWER: Far from agreeing I can ‘ not misery upon yourself. you would not be thinking of the two that you have given awav as ex- cess baggage and wondering if they were being kindly treated and if will take in making your decision. When a widow with children marries she takes a great chance. for there are not many men who do not resent having to support another man's ‘children and who are not jealous of their wives’ mungsters. I would like your opinion in this matter and am sure you will agree MARY C with you. I beg you with all the up a farm paper and turned a page. Then "have you read this, Ellen?" he asked me obviously much inter. csted in an article which presently he ploceeded to reed to rne, before f stirred from my place at the table. He usually reads an article throughout to get the gist of it, before he begins to share it with me. no matter how ‘ patient I em to hear the contents. Then he said: "It's very true-as true in this day and generation, as when the quo- tation was written - if folks only have eyes to see it." He glanced out to a winsome spot on the field which slopes above 'the old mill, where cattle sun—gllnts along their sides, grazed in content. "I guess" he continued “that as long as time is-and farmers have e seed-time and a harvest it will be the same- io those who. enjoy taming." I O It was a lettcr signed "Junior Farmer.

In "Gastroenterology", (stomach and intestine‘ Drs. J. H. Remington, J‘. A. Bergen and J. S. Lundy say that for 10 years they have admin- istered amino acids in the form of digests of various proteins, by in- jection into a vein and by mouth. They were used in several intestin- al diseases. such as ulcerated coll- fls (ulcerated condition of lower ‘bowel or colon). fistula or opening from the bowel to skin surface, and inflammation of the lining of the lntestinie. Giving the amino acids by mouth has been shown to be the best method, as more of the focd value was used by the body than when given by injections into the vein.
