The white ceils are sometimes damaged by disease, but more commonly by drugs or poisons. This causes a drop below the normal count.

Remember this tip when you angle your new spring bonnet on your head. There are hats, of course which offer women no choice but to tilt them forward.

Millinery for the most part, however, lends itself to whatever angle a woman wants to wear it. If she believes that a forward-tilting hat is a help in hiding the little evidences of age about which she is inclined to feel self-conscious, she is mistaken. While a hat may cover up a lined brow or cast shadows over her eyes, the lowered brim under which a woman tries to hide will give to her face and figure A general effect of advanced maturity. A much better angle at which to perch a hat, when a more rejuvenating effect is desired, is a slightly backward tilt or a side slant that looks saucy. If you don't believe that a hat is capable of adding to the apparent years of a face, try an inch to 2-inches in width with precision.

Drapery Lining NeW Window Trend NEW YORK Popularity of picture windows in homes across the country is stimulating a revival of a Colonial home decorating scheme of using attractive drapery linings to catch the eye of passersby. Style-wise decorators reason that the reverse side of a drapery fabric weave viewed from outside should be as smart looking as the fabric seen inside the room. They are achieving this effect by lining draperies with fabrics that have distinctive designs and colorings, recommending the technique particularly to enhance the broad expanses of picture windows. Typical of this new decoration accent is a cotton print called "Williamsburg Liner," latest addition to the approved colonial Williamsburg restoration fabrics. The pattern, a small all-over provincial motif, was adapted from an 18th century original used to line draperies and as an underside for bedspreads.

The design is machine-printed on cotton with an everglaze finish, making it equally usable for upholstery, slipcovers, quilting, dressing table skirts and larmp shades. When used as a lining for draperies, the lustrous surface coating prevents dust from collecting. It is available in six vat colors, including old red, pumice, leaf brown, cloudy blue, citron and cypress green, in 36-inch widths. One company, in addition to its exclusive contract with the Williamsburg restoration for reproducing linens and cottons, maintains the largest museum of rare historical fabrics of its kind in the country. Presently the firm is also introducing another approved Williamsburg design.

Named "John Marshall," in honor of the first chief justice of the U. S. supreme court, it is based on a piece of the original fabric found in the Marshall home, and is now a prized possession in the Williamsburg restoration ar I You'll find only the tender, I I better-flavored meat of the I iL small tuna in this can. gling one completely forward on i Mrs. J.

The Iowa Federation has supported eight Dutch schools for three years and those of many other states report spending comparable sums on their projects.
