THE WAR BRINGS many new problems and new adjustments in family life. Among these is the problem of the wife whose husband works all night in a defense plant and sleeps all day. =~ The necessity of turning night into day and vice versa so upsets the average family routine that life is turned upside down. : One such wife writes that her husband works from midnight to 7 a. m. He sleeps until 2 p. m,, is up until 6 o’clock and goes back to bed until time to go to work. Her housework is very light and she finds it hard to pass the time away. She gets tired of sewing and hand-work, cannot join clubs or do war work because she must be home when her husband is there and needs her. He is a model husband but not very talkative and objects to her taking a job. On the few evenings when they go out they always do the things her husband enjoys, such as drinking beer, but nothing she enjoys. He drinks but not to excess unless she leaves him alone. Her problem is what to do with her time so that life will not seem so monotonous. This woman is unhappy because she has insufficient change and diversion in her life and no friends. Her husband works seven hours and is off seventeen. If he would do his sleeping in one stretch instead of breaking it up into two periods, he should have at least eight free hours from 4 p. m. until midnight to spend in some interesting pastime. » 8 2

THIS COUPLE has plenty of time to visit back and forth with friends. Any marriage will grow stale without friends to break the monotony. The wife should cultivate her neighbors and have another couple in to dinner or spend the evening. Her husband likes to go where beer is served, but she doesn’t drink and doesn’t enjoy herself. It would he easy enough to serve a glass of beer to friends at home, and a lot less

BLACK AND WHITE are important colors in the new peek-a-boos, particularly black top and white skirt, or white top and black skirt. With the exception of the peek-a-boo prints, most of the dresses have the revealing panel at the top. Often it is done with chiffon, marganza or with spangled lace. There is even a long dinner dress with drawstring neck and long drawstring sleeves. The top .is transparent, the under-bodice cut low, This transparency-over=-low-cut bodice is seen in a dramatic dining and dancing dress of navy crepe and chiffon, by Nettie Rosenstein. The front-draped skirt is attached to a matching camisole with flesh-colored straps, and over this goes the nakedlooking, though long-sleeved and high-necked chiffon waist, dotted with big green star sequins. Jo Copeland also does an allblack peek-a-boo, with crepe lace and a band of pale blue satin showing through at the bottom. This dress has a deep and delicate lace yoke.

Health— Sulfa Drugs For Treating - Meningitis. © By JANE STAFFORD, . .

Science, Service Writer

ALONG WITH THE disturbing

meningitis ‘cases in various parts of the country, there are some reassuring figures on how lives threatened by this disease can be saved by sulfa drug treatment.

In fact, the Journal of the American Medical association, reviewing accumulated findings of the past few years, points out that these findings seem to show that sulfa drug treat-

recoveries than combination of a sulfa drug with serum. Cae For many years serum treatment was the best doctors had for this serious disease. With this treatment they managed to save about two-thirds of the patients. English figures quoted by the A. M. A. Journal show a 36.6 per cent fatality among patients treated with serum alone. i » ” »

The fatality for patients of all ages treated by s-um plus a sulfa drug was 138 per cent. Treatment with sulfa drugs alone, however, gave even better results, the fatality dropping to 9.2 per cent. : Encouraging as these figures are, it must be remembered that meningitis is a dangerous disease for

which a doctor must be . called promptly. The medical journal points out that prompt diagnosis and prompt treatment so as to get a high concentration of the sulfa drug into the patient’s blood are most important. The disease usually begins with smptoms of a cold and sore throat, followed shortly by fever, severe headache, pain in the back of the neck, mental dullness, vomiting and frequently a peculiar skin rash from which the disease sometimes gets the name spotted fever. It is also called cerebrospinal fever.

An interesting hobby would help this woman, preferably one which her husband could share. Perhaps a Victory garden would give them something to do outdoors together. Does the man like to bowl, play golf, hunt, fish, swim or do anything else that would take them out of the house in spring and summer? : Her cue is to make friends and try one thing after another until she finds something they both enjoy to fill jn the leisure time. With so many interesting things to discover, no couple should be at a loss for diversion. - JANE JQRDAN.

Cutlery Care With care, good cutlery should last a lifetime, Wash each piece separately in warm, soapy water, taking care that handles do not soak; rinse and dry immediately. Your carving set should have its own special box or covered compartment in the cutlery drawer, A knife rack with separate slots for each knife is a safeguard against nicking blades. Or a flannel envelope with separate sections for each piece is good. °
