Well, toss out those love philters, those miracle creams and those books on how-to-catchyour-man, and dash right out and get yourself a fan. The word has gotten around in the fashion world that these coquetish accessories of yesteryear are coming back and with them the "language of the fans." It's a code with which a girl could daintily tell a young man make himself scarce without so much as opening her mouth.

On the other hand, having mastered it, any girl can out-belle those maids south of the MasonDixon line in the department. Here's a f'r instance. You meet a certain dreamboat, let's say. He hovers about you, his eyes telling you you've made conquest (it says here.) Butthe poor dear is tongue tied, or just plain difficult. You would like to tell the strong and silent one that you would not be at all averse, to seeing him again.

But that's been no. obstacle to the young ladies who've been adding these graceful gadgets to their accessories.

DAVIS Society Editor As usual it was old home week at the annual Easter Monday bridge party given by the managers of the Immaculate Conception Day Nursery and again held in the ballroom of the Hotel Commodore, Manhattan. Just about everybody was present and those that weren't couldn't attend because they were ill.

So it was chitchat from the time the guests entered until the very end although we must say there were a few serious bridge players among the capacity crowd. And again, as is the custom with the Immaculate Conception Day Nursery party the prizes were superb. The table prizes were pretty hand embroidered handkerchiefs. This the grand prize was divided up. Five year hundred dollars went to Mrs.

D. A. Phelan of 195 Greene $300 to Mrs. Lutz of 6808 Forest Ave. and $200 to Mrs.

Measure and mark a perfect line-up: all buttonholes the same distance from front edge of dress, the same distance apart, and all parallel to the waist.

Suit buttonhole style to material and style of dress. Worked buttonholes are always suitable and are the best choice for a wash dress, since they are stronger. Bound buttonholes make an attractive finish for dressy rayons, wools and silks. Prevent Fraying If a dress fabric frays, take the precaution -before cutting to run four parallel rows of machine stitching, two on either side of buttonhole line, close to the cutting line. Then, when the hole is cut, the inner row of machine stitching on either side helps prevent fraying, while the outer row forms a guide for the width of the completed buttonhole.

If a material frays very badly, it is better to choose a style that does not call for buttons or buttonholes. Whether worked or bound, for a good effect, completed buttonholes should be narrow, that is, no wider than teenth of an inch from the cut line. To keep the end straight and flat, set stitches very close together when working round the buttonhole end. If your buttonholing technique is weak, remember blanket stitch, which is easier than conventional buttonhole stitch, and makes a satisfactory Buttonholes are often to blame when a homemade dress lacks the tailor-made look, says Margaret Smith, clothing specialist in the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics.

About $39.50 per pair. The Nurse's Notebook His Own Bed By ANNE M. GOODRICH, R.N. (Prepared by the Visiting lyn as a service to friends and Even tiny babies need growth, development and health. the new baby have a bed of his in the household.

It is true that tiny babies like, and need to be cuddled and loved. They enjoy lying in the crook of their mother's arm, but their visit to mother's bed should be in the nature of relaxation and playtime and not a permanent place to sleep. A baby's bed may vary from the very fancy to the extremely simple makeshift and be equally comfortable and safe for him. While a baby under seven weeks old is unable to roll or move himself about too freely, using an adult bed without sides is inadvisable. If you do have occasion to leave a baby on a bed, be sure to lay him crosswise and not lengthwise.

If he should roll he will roll the length of the bed and not off the edge. Requirements Bassinettes and cribs available in many designs and price ranges. If you are buying la crib it is well to keep in mind that babies grow quickly and a small crib is poor economy. If you do not want to put a new baby in a full-size crib, his first bed may be a market basket, bureau drawer, crate or carton. The two requirements are firm surface on which to lie land a smooth inside surface free Nurse Association of Brookpatients of the organization.) physical comfort for their best It is therefore important that own right away after his arrival of protruding nails or splinters, A firm hair pillow may be used for baby's first mattress.

Be sure, however, not to use a feather or kapok-filled pillow with a soft surface which will give under the baby's weight and against which he could smother. If a hair pillow is not available a firm blanket folded several times and covered with a sheet will do nicely as a mattress. If a basket or a crate is to be used it may be lined with an old sheet, shower curtain or other washable material. Be sure that the lining is made with a draw string which will tie around the outside or have the material firmly sewn or tacked around the edges so that it cannot fall over the baby's head. It is important to have a firm, safe and non-tipping surface on which to put your bassinette or make-shift bed.

A table or adult bed will do nicely or you may put two chairs together facing each other. It is preferable to have the bed off the floor and out of draughts. Baby will be happy and comfortable in almost any safe make-shift bed provided it is his own. Engaged, She's Smitten Mary Haworth's Mail With a Movie Hero DEAR MARY HAWORTH -I am an engaged girl, 21, planning to be married this June. I am completely in love with my fiance, whom I have dated for some time; but during the past month or so my happiness has been clouded by an uncontrollable desire for a certain movie actor.

He has become an obsession with me. I can think of nothing else. I am sure this sounds ridiculous to you, as it does also to me. But I am positive it is something more than "hero worship," and I think you'd agree, if you knew me for a while. This is absolutely the first time anything of the kind has happened to Mary Haworth me, as I am a stable practical person, as a rule, not easily moved by things that set most girls a-flutter.

I find myself pipe-dreaming on the job (I work in an advertising agency), and this is most unusual. Generally I tend strictly to business. I've written a fan letter to the actor; never had I done such a thing before. I want a solution to the problem because I am afraid if it continues I'll start comparing my fiance Jack to the movie star, and expecting Jack to live up to the ideal that the star represents to me; and that, of course, is asking too much of any human being. I think I am actually in love with someone who doesn't exist.

Please tell me what you think. F. F. Afraid of Honeymoon DEAR F. suppose you are day dreamabout a honeymoon relationship with the movie star, wool gathering about his being your lover in one of his gallant screen roles.

There is neurotic significance to this kind of thing, and I interpret it as follows: Much as you wish to belong to a sex partner, you unconsciously shrink from the test of conjugal intimacy with the man you love, lest you be found frigid or unsatisfactory to the bridegroom, or unlovely in his sight. Although hardly aware, on the conscious level, of the anxiety caused by this inner conflict, you try to escape from it in fantasy. If the actor is an older man, your fixation on him may also refer to frustrated feelings about your father, and to a marked dependency bias, giving rise to a compulsive wish to attain a cherished "little girl" status in a romantic alliance. Low Self Esteem As to why this particular actor sticks in your mind, it is a reasonable guess that some role he played, something he said, some mannerism in a "characterization," clicked with a buried memory or idea of yours concerning a childhood idol; which later led to a dream, in which the actor took the part of the idol. in a fuzzy way.

Then whether or not you consciously recollected the dream, he seemed to "mean something" to you. And by the time you had sent the fan letter, you were on the hook; because it is a psychological axiom that "Emotion follows action." To solve the problem, don't lose sight of its center. It is not the actor, but your low self esteem, that threatens to spoil your chances of happiness with Jack. Well-balanced, comfortably self-accepting individuals don't want a big shot glamor-girl or glamor-man as partner in their love life. They want a pleasant person, much like themselves, with whom to share the plain bread of loyal companionship.
