' land satisfaction you'll have if you

don't master the rayon do's and

fdon’ts. Here are the rules:

1. Rayon stockings must be fitted more carefully than any other kind. Be sure they are just your size. If too big, they wrinkle badly; if too small, they wear out twice as fast. 2. Wash your stockings after each wearing. Don’t rub with soap. Instead, make a good sudsy bath for them or, better still, use one of the new preparations now appearing and especially created for laundering delicate clothes.

Dry Flat ~~ ~ °! RINSE CAREFULLY several times. Then cradle the stockings in a towel and squeeze all moisture out. to dry. After getting them as dry as possible in the towel, spread out another towel ' and smooth the

stockings out on it, patting them into shape. Rayons must be absolutely dry before being worn again. Fortyeight hours is the minimum you should allow for drying. Longer is advisable. Test at the seams for dryness. If the seam is the least bit damp, don’t put them on.

3. Water and damp are rayons worst enemy. If your feet perspire, change your stockings often, or put a-thin pad of paper cleansing tissue between your feet and the stocking and change that during the day. And, remember one thing, never wear your rayon hose after they have been rained on—change them immediately! A good idea is to wash your rayons before ever wearing them. Soak them in warm water with a handful of Epsom salts added and that will strengthen them enormously. Also, using Epsom salts in the rinse, or: vinegar, after each washing will be very beneficial.

Beauty— New Coif Will Brighten Your

Appearance

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THERE'S NOTHING like a coif with some swish to it for brightening your whole appearance at this dead-of-winter season when spring seems so much farther away than it is by the calendar. And Leo, the hair stylist of one of Park ave.s fine salons; has created a series of new ,and subtle hairdos inspired by the gayest hats he could find. The lovely swirls of a pink coq feather on a black hat, for instance, are transferred to a lady’s head in a golden coif. Leo is teaching his smart clientele to manage these frankly complex styles for themselves. He says any woman can do her own hair after watching her hairdresser do it a couple of times, and if you have some finger dexterity you should have smoother sailing without the demonstration—if you know the basic principle of the style. The golden coif mentioned. is combed in” five sections. Once the hair is parted and cut correctly, it falls into place easily enough. The top section is three inches long, the back and sides are eight inches. Make two parts, from each temple back to the crown of the head. Extend each of these parts back to the nape of the neck. This makes a center section which in

section. Then take the lowest area’s - locks, comb smoothly from

the left ear. The rest of the hair in this section is combed loosely from right to left, and pinned firmly, preferably with a bobby pin. The ends form a charming snail curl behind the left ear, and the hair is draped over the center of the head. Now make a horizontal part just in front of the crown of the head, and comb the locks on the lower of

pinning the ends in place behind the right ear. The front section then is combed forward diagonally, right to left, to form a deeply, softly waved bang. Then the side sections are combed up, the ends are formed into a roll or horn, and pinned down—and there’s your golden coif. I wouldn't expect you to turn this job out perfectly in 15 -minutes the first time you tried it. But with some practice you should be able to do it smoothly. The style. has that combination of youthfulness and dignity which is extremely flattering to a mature woman.

Dear Friends:

You will never know how thrilled I was. It sort of renewed my bonds to the States. And believe me, I am lonesome for the good old U.S.A. ...

I am stationed in the South . Seas area. . . . It isn’t as nice or as beautiful as the fiction writers. would have you believe. 1 much prefer the good old U. S. A. . . .
