A living room should look as it were a place for all the mem- s of the family, a place in which hb work and play and have fun, The wise woman understands the: portance of lighting. A floor mp is placed beside each reading air, and the chair is a comfort- ble one. It may not be elegant or kpensive, but it welcomes you. You nk into it with a sigh; it rests our weary bones and tired mind; h it you find solid comfort. Dim lights may be favorable to e complexion that does not qual- y, but they are not friendly if ou are using your eyes, especially you are doing needlework. Child- n who study at night should ave properly adjusted lights. Too w mothers give thought to that bject, Good light is free of glare, shines enly on the child's work, without pusing shadows, and not in the lds eyes. Posture and reading istance are essentials in main- ining visual welfare. A mother ould teach the child to sit erect ith his head bent slightly for- ard, holding the reading material h least twelve inches from his Js.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman: For over three years I have been der the care of a doctor who has pen most kind to me. I have sent p Christmas cards, and he has me Christmas cards. Last year, . 1 £25 him an kaster card. The her day as I was chatting with s office nurse, she happened to ention that his birthday was the rs. pare of waarc2, and now I ta g ka exart date and m wondering if it would be send- g him too many cards if I sent im a birthday card also. And I am" wondering, too, if you pink it would be proper for me to md him e personal present for birthday. I want to show my ppreciation for all he has done r me, but I ,wouldn't for the orld want him or his family to the impression I am forcing my tention or devotion on him, What ould be your idea? Cw. Bince it is obvious that you have definite surmise that your too- pnerous post-carding of the doctor y very well be misunderstood or Isinterpreted by him or his fam- y, I think you would be a very woman to "follow that hunch" hd postpone sending any card un- | next Christmas. A birthday card, its very nature, is so much more vnal «nan a Christmas card t it shouldn't be sent when there is any question of its being unsuitably personal. And I think it would be most indiscreet and grace- less for you to give this doctor a birthday present. No self-respecting { doctor wants to have a patient put him under obligations to her or him, and your discretion and a good taste should make you beware of this, Also, I'm not at all sure that your "finding out" about when his birthday is will inevitably please him. . he may very well resent your intrusion. Pay the doctor's charges. . straightforwardly express your appreciation. . .and don't over- do your enthusiasm, No Doily On Tray Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When I bring in a glass of water to a guest, should I put a linen (or paper) doily on the tray? 8. No. Colored Hair Gaining Favor A former hairdresser of royalty thinks women might soon be bru- nettes for breakfast, blondes for cocktails and red heads for dinner. Donu Edmond, who claims he made Jean Harlow a "platinum blonde and the Queen of Rouman- ia a carrot-top," said yesterday wo- men might change the color of their hair as often as their dresses. The color, he told Boston beauty editors, should depend on the wo- man's mood, means -- and man. Edmond guessed that 40 per cent of the women tint their hair now and that 10 per cent of the men do it. Blotting out the silver threads, he said, will let men and women "look as young as they feel." He predicted a big boost in hair coloring with the production of new dyes which allow individuals to do the job at home, in privacy. Edmond said he was hairdresser to Queen Marie of Romania for 3% years Keep fish and other strong smelling foods In covered containers in the re- frigerator, so that they will not impart their odors to other foods. NEAPOLITANS MEAT PIES Always a Favorite 3 for 14 2 « 27 Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood-- (AP)--Bob Crosby is getting into television in a big way and figures he'd better hurry. He reasons: "I've got a few years of grace because Bing"s too busy and Gary's too young." After a flurry of TV appearances in the East, Bob has made a couple of TV films as a test for his pres- ent radio sponsor. Bob kiddingly suggests he has to get into the medium while he's the only Crosby in it. Does he think being Bing's brother has hurt his career? "I don't think so," he replied. "If I were the brother of someone who was just a star in show busi- ness it might make a difference. But Bing is more than a star; he's an' institution. Because he is so supreme in his field, there's room for another Crosby." The two brothers have always been close, Bob remarked. Bing was the youngest boy in the fam- ily until Bob came along, and he was happy to abdicate the position. Although he has made many ap- pearances with Bing, Bob has kept most of his activities apart from the groaner and his business brothers, Everett and Larry. "When I first started out, I di- vorced myself from the rest of the family operation," he said. "I didn't even mention Bing, but then people got mad with me, figuring I had had a fight with Bing. So I decided not to hide the fact we were brothers." Bob now is playing a TV star in "Two Tickets to Broadway," a that's how he was discern nt. 3 the role--on an eastern TV show. Producer Jerry Wald has nign hopes. for his movie future and calls him "the neglected Crosby." Yoked Beauty T4707 sizes 34--s2 Arne Lobos flattery and slenderizing lines!

France is the modern leader of the perfume industry -- in case you are interested in this subject. In the south of France, along the Mediterranean coast, climate and soil are ideal for the cultivation of flowers that go into the scents of French manufacturers. More than 12 million pounds of flowers are harvested every year. Roses were the first of all*fra- grant flowers to be used and rose perfume, which was the favorite of our grandmothers, is still pop- ular. It is romantic, a memory-re- viver, suggests pleasant moments of the past. The sense of smell has a strange power to evoke delighsful memories, to recall a happy situa- tion, to recreate a mood.

A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. DISORDERS OF SPLEEN THOUGH the spleen, an organ located in the upper left part of the abdomen, has been known to students of 'medicine for many centuries, its function remains something of a mystery. We do not by any means know the total of its contributions to the life of the body as a whole, but the spleen seems to be intimately concerned with certain functions of the blood and to play some role in the de- struction" of worn-out red blood cells. Removal of the spleen may be required in a number of different disorders, and is always required if the organ becomes ruptured as as a result of injury. Diseases in which removal of the spleen is indicated include certain tumors and abscesses of the spleen itself, a condition known as splénie anemia, Bantl disease, and a dis- order known as thrombocytopenic purpura. Severe Anemia In Banti's disease, there is a severe anemia, frequently accom- panied by enlargement of the spleen, and often by cirrhosis of the liver. When this cirrhosis or hardening of the liver with the formation of a great deal of scar tissue is' present, removal of the spleen is of little value. However, if such cirrhosis is not present, re- moval of the spleen is helpful to the patient with Banti's disease. In Thrombocytopenic purpura, there is a great decrease in the number of blood platelets. These are bits of tissue in the blood which have to do with blood clotting. In this diserder, there is bleeding into OF INTEREST TO WOME Year in year out quality has always been and will always be the first consideration with SALADA TEA < toms of which are weakness, fever, nasal discharge, and a decrease of the number of white cells in the blood, particularly the kind known as neutrophils. Removal of the spleen also seems to be helpful in this condition. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M.E.S8.: My little daughter, six years of age, has a fast heart beat. Is there anything that can be done for this? Answer: Rapid heart beat in s child requires a careful investiga tion. It may be due to rheumatie fever which has affected the heart. On the other hand, the rapid heart. beat could come from other causes, such as infections anywhere in the body. The normal heart rate in a child of six is from 100 to 120 beats a minute. the skin and other body tissues. The spleen is not enlarged to any | great extent. However, its removal | seems to be of help in the majority | of patients with this condition. More than eight out of ten patients are cured by means of this opera- | tion. Other Conditions { Purpura or bleeding into the skin | may also occur in a number of | other conditions, particularly as a result of allergies and infections. Removal of the spleen in such | eases is of no value. ere is another disorder kn. as splenic neutropenia, the sym. | Opportunities & THE BELL TELEPHONE @ FORMER TELEPHONE OPERATORS Temporary work for experienced girls oA ® SALARY BASED ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE ® REFRESHER COURSE GIVEN WHERE NECESSARY Are you interested in making extra money?
