Sometimes it pays to be different. At least it seems to be a very profitable pasttime for Mme. Lilly Dache, one of the world's leading hat designers.

While all of New York's milliners are advocating the small hat for next fall and winter Dache says "nonsense" and immediately proceeds to feature the largest hats imaginable for wear with cocktail suits and restaurant dresses. And leave it to Lilly to do things up right as she features her hats with Parisian designer Christian Dior's new fall gowns. Lilly Daehe's reasoning for this rebellion against the general trend for cocktail millinery wear is that mof-t attention is focused on a. woman from the waist op at dinner and cocktails therefore her hat and neckline can't be too dramatic. Dache also resorts to Napoleon's day for her Inspirations as she includes small soft bonnets with Greek drapery and again the more formal, w.i.' 2 N.

The other day I heard about a man let's call him Mr. Jarvis, who inherited a red-brick Victorian house within commuting distance of New York. He couldn't make up his mind whether to sell the house or to fix it up and live there.

He finally decided to make-some minor repairs, do a little redecorating and settle down in the suburbs. The chief problem seemed to be doors. As in many old houses, the doors in the dining room were badly spaced. He didn't want to go to the expense of any elaborate remodeling, so he painted the doors and trim to exactly match the walls, which were a bright sunshine yellow. This seemed to make the doors fade away and blend into the walls.

In the same room, the double glass doors leading into the living room were his next problem. He realized that these were dated and gave no privacy. He hesitated between painting right over the glass panes or Adding a plywood panel covering each side of the doors. He decided that the latter wasn't too difficult a job, so he tackled it himself. Painted the same yeltow as the wralls, the doors had a rather modern effect.

In his living room, Mr. Jarvis found that he was lucky enough to have doors that were symmetrically spaced on the wall. Therefore he decided to emphasize these doors and make them count by painting them a contrasting color. He used dead-white paint for doors and trim which made a startling contrast against the dark-brown walls. There was one door in this room that was of absolutely no use.

One day he had a bright idea and took the door down completely, Jearing the trim filling the back with a plywood panel. He put in shelves for books and old family china and painted the inside white, with gilt edging on the shelves. The house began to take on a real air after the trim and the doors in the hall had been painted White, and a dashing hunting scene wallpaper in bright colors had been hung above the-white dado. In fact, it looked so attractive that three of Mr. Jarvis' college friends begged to take rooms there by the year.

Now they call it the Dutch Treat House, and Mr. Jarvis has his overhead all taken care of, which is not a bad idea for anybody!

This season it'll be the modern husband who will do the fainting when the price tag is dropped in front of him.

Unless proper precautions are followed, 75 per cent'of the folks who visit seashore resorts, lakes or swimming pools this summer will come away with a case of "the invisibie hotfoot," according to Dr. Irving Furie, president of the New York Todiatry society.

"Tne chief precaution," Dr. Furie explains, "is to keep feet dry and prevent excess perspiration. After exposure to a public bathing place, feet should be dried thoroughly, and an antiseptic powder used to absorb any moisture left over. "Socks and stockings should be changed daily, and one should never wear the same pair of shoes two days in succession. Footwear for general use should be leather-soled, since leather's fibrous construction permits air to ventilate the feet, and promotes rapid evaporation of normal sweat." Athlete's foot is a ringworm condition caused by a type of fungus which is easily passed from one person to another.

The fungus grows in a warm, moist atmosphere. That's why ideal breeding grounds as our authority points out, are wet tubs, svVimming pools, public showers, and wet floors of locker rooms. mm Dr. Furie tells us the disease sometimes remains dormant for years what looks like a fresh case during the summer season is often an old, uncured infection, revived by the effect of improper footwear which so many of us wear during the hot months. He emphasizes the need for consulting a podiatrist-chiropodist.

V. IDOdlEO'S WORLD "We have made 'it possible," she writes, "to take the baby out with us in the evening, by dressing him in his night-clothes before we leave home. "In the summer my husband plays softball and baseball at night and, of course, I enjoy watching him. Our limited budget does not permit a baby sitter two or three times a week. So, our 14-month-old baby enjoys his cold milk from a thermos bottle and is usually sleepy at the regular time and goes to sleep in a blanket in the back seat of the car.

You are taking your recreations in a sensible wray and w-ithout depriving your boy of any necessary rest. So don't feel guilty. la Qlan cc The dearth of domestic help, the high price of sitters, all make it necessary for the modem mother to compromise with situations which she finds far from ideal. Almost every mother, if she is ever toget out of the house at all, is compelled, at times, to take her baby with her, barring some accommodating relative to stay home with the child. Despite this, it is still possible for a mother to be cautious about the food she feeds the baby; careful of sleeping hours and conscientious about not taking children in public places of amusement.

The crowds, the lights, the noise, the chance of infection are all present. But mothers can enjoy a ride in the evening. They can transport baby and bassinet to some friend's home and let the baby sleep in the strange bedroom, as comfortably as at home. Mrs. R.

Latest census bureau studies show that incomes differ widely, among city families paying the same rent each month. Must urban families with $1,500 income pay roughly 20 per cent of their income for rent, while families earning $3,000 or more generally pay less 'than 10 per cent.

Among the families paying between $30 and $40 rent a month, one-fifth have incomes under $2,000 while one-fifth earn more. Most city families that pay $50 rent earn around $4,200 but one-fifth of the families in this rent class earn less than College Credit For Child Care Ithaca, X. Y.

Mr.

Broussard is the scion of two distinguished New Orleans families, one of which (on the distaff side) bears the coat-of-arms of a famous-Frenchman, the Chevalier Pel-letier de la Houssaye, knight of the Legion of Honor. On the paternal side he is descended from Eugene Broussard, founder of a traditional school of French culinary artistry. Even he, after delving into the musty recipe books which form an integral part of his legacy from a long line of bons vivants, cannot tell in whose fine script they were written. 'I hare taken no liberties with these old recipes," Andre said, "only in so far as the use of oils and modern condiments are concerned. Otherwise, they are given exactly as they were written some time during the middle of the Nineteenth century.

"I should like to caution the culinary dilettanti against taking 'short cuts' to concoct these simple hot weather dishes. Perfection is attained only by adhering to precise instructions although to the neophyte such care may appear to be drawing too fine a line. The difference between following recipes to the letter and of skipping here and there invariably reveals itself in the finished creation."
