Slept under three blankets
again last night and it wasn
enough. But don't set me wrong
I am not criticizing the Florida
climate. I just want the clients
of this column to be rightly in
formed about the April weather
in the Sunshine state, jweryDoay
who has the opportunity should
visit Florida as it is an extreme
ly interesting and pleasant part
of the country. However, i aon i
want anv of our subscribers to be
influenced by what "Where the
Summer Spends the Winter" slo
gan as to come down nere in me
winter or early spring wan nom
ine but an August wardrobe
During April in Florida you are
going to have many aays wnen u
is warm enough to take a dip in
the briny or a sun bath on the
front lawn. On the other hand
there will be days when warm
clothes will be necessary. As for
the niahts. there are many
chilly ones. As I pointed out re
cently, all tne flog iracus wnere
night racing is conducted adver
tise "heated grandstands." That
Mem to nrove the point. Inc
dentally, during a recent broad
cast of the Gulfstream park
races from the track the an
nnuncer said: "The rain is com
ing down in torrents, the track is
a sea of mud, it's chilly. It's
more like California here today
than Florida." A nasty cracK
what?
Horiei k Women
In a number of recent divorce
eases I have noticed the husband
has included in his grounds that
his wife cannot cook and is not
an efficent housewife. I have
also noticed that this complaint
strikes a very sympathetic note
with the judge. It seems to give
the husband quite an edge. This
brings to mind that wuerjec.
Can., has over 100 schools of
housekeeping. The course in
these schools is of four years du
ration. When a young woman
graduates from Quebec school
of housekeeping she really
knows her stuff as to cooking,
home management, infant rear
ing, needlework, budget han
dling, etc. She has also been ad-
vised as to the "peculiarities of
the male sex and is Instructed
in the handling of men.
Auld Lang Syne
Remember Elmer "Ollie" Oil
chant, the great Purdue and
West Point football star of All
: American caliber? "Ollie" has
been one of my regular readers
for a long time. He dropped me
: a sympathetic note to say "Sorry
: you have shingles. I know just
how you feel. I had them last
fall. But don't worry, Eddie, they
will pass away. You have to give
them time." Do you know what
the top specialist in New York
on this ailment told me just be
fore I left for Florida? He said
frankly: "There are a number of
special treatments alleged to
shorten the period of suffering
irom shingles out if 1 were you
I would do nothing. Just take it
easy and let nature do the rest."
I am just mentioning this for the
benefit of a number of readers
who have informed me they
have shingles too. This specialist
also told me that in the early
stages the best success has been
achieved with radio-therapy.
Pleas Note
Florida has developed Into
quite a cattle country. It is one
of the largest producers of beef
in the United States. Speaking of
Florida activities, I was always
interested in that which my good
friend the late Rex Beach en
gaged in as a sideline to his writ
ing activities. Rex grew Easter
lilies on his place at Sanford,
Fla. He always had a good mar
ket for his product and his enter
prise was an extremely profita
ble one. Think this over if you
are thinking of settling on a farm
in r londa.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
became of shirts with detachable
collars? I figure the upkeep was
less on them than the attached
collar type. A. I believe the
shirts you mention are still avail
able. It is true the first part of
a shirt to wear out is the collar,
Way I handle that situation is to
have shirts made to order. Then
when a collar wears out I don't
discard the entire shirt. I just
have the shirtmaker make a new
collar. I don't beileve In the long
run that made to order shirts are
any harder on the pocketbook
than the ready-made ones.
Over There
Had a letter from Homer Croy,
the novelist from Florence, Italy.
Next to aPris that is my favorite
European city. Or was before the
war. Don t know now it is now.
Homer said he went to visit tne
birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci
I missed that but I did have din
ner with some friends in Flor
ence who lived in a house that
was once the home of Machea-
vclli.
Sidelights
Certainly a number of very
tall girls are making good these
days. I see a Miami night club
features Kay Starr, described as
six feet tow inches tall red
head." . . . "Look Younger, Live
Longer, is the provocative title
of a new book by Dr. Gayelord
Hauser. It was Doctor Hauser
who once said to keep a woman
looking young and in good
health she should be "trained
ike a racehorse." Is there a
place near your house where you
could work your wife out six
furlongs at five in the morning?
