OK on
shutters?
By BARBARA HAR'IUNG
Q, We just had shutters put
up on the lower half of our
three windows which measure
46 inches long by 40 inches
wide in our kitchen. The upper
half has awnings on the out-
side, so we didn't think we
needed anything on the upper
half. I have crisscross cur-
tains that I would like to use.
They go to the floor but I can
cut them any length as I
would like to use them. But I
don't know whether they will.
look well with shutters. —

A. Usually the top of shut-
ters is either treated with a
simple valance or box over
the top of the window if pri-
vacy isn't necessary. Or short
curtains to the top of the shut-
ters are a good treatmentif
you want the entire window.

on -temporary..... W.N.B..
A. Mirror isn't necessarily
traditional or formal. Rather
it can be informal and con-
temporary depending on
what's used with it. I'd avoid
the decorated or antiqued
tiles, however, because they
dq create a more traditional
feeling. Rather do the entire
space in mirror,
ak up the mirror with
strips of wood paneling be-
tween two or three rows of
mirrors. Be sure to buy good
mirror tiles. The seconds are
a waste of money because
they aren't exactly square,
and therefore impossible to
install precisely straight. Also
the tape that often comes with
the tiles isn't adequate for
holding them if your wall has
any bulge to it. I personally
like the epoxy used for mir-
rors. It's. much safer.

QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK
Prepare for menopause
with physical checkup.
By ELEANOR B.
RODGERSON, M.D.
Q. I am 44 years old and my
menstrual periods are regular
except now and then about a
week late. I think I am too
young to be going through' the
"change." My problem is that
sexual intercourse is quite un-
comfortable. I have been to
several doctors and I have no
infections. I have been given
various creams to use, but
these do not help. In fact, the
creams produce more burn-
ing. Do you have any sugges-
tions?
A. Without seeing you it is
impossible to make a firm
diagnosis, but, from experi-
ence, I can tell you' what
comes to mind.
Many women begin to have
changes associated with the
menopause, before the aver-
age cessation of menstrual
period at`wge-50:' Tl hires
membrane lining of the va-
gina (the epithelium) is very
sensitive to estrogen, the hor-
mone that decreases in wom-
en when they pass the child-
bearing period. With little es-
trogen, this lining becomes
thin, dry, tight (atrophic),
and sexual intercourse, which
was formerly uncomplicated,
becomes uncomfortable and
irritating. Traces of blood —
dark brovim discharge -- may
be noted. The vaginal en-
trance takes on a distinctive
appearance and a scraping of
the wall will .show typical epi-
thelial modification:
These changes are easy to
reverse and an estrogen
cream should make all the
difference. There • are many
estrogen creams and some
have other medications in
them. It is possible that you
have been irritated because of
some of these other compo-
nents. Do you have allergies?
.Go back 'to your doctor and
persist until something is
found to give you relief. It'
may be necessary to give you
estrogen by mouth.
Remember that any woman
approaching the menopause
needs physical checkups, and
a woman on estrogen therapy.
needs even more . frequent
visits to regulate her dosage.
Q. Is cancer a threat to
young women?. I thought, a
woinan was usually middle
aged before. she of cancer.
A. I could quote statistics,
but figures and percentages
often' give a false sense of se=
curity. More cases of cancer
are found in middle-aged-.
women, but an increased inci-
dence of cancer of the female
organs of young women is be-
• ing reported in the medical
literature. There used to be, a
kind of unwritten rule that
Pap smears from the 'cervix
and vagina . were not neces-
sary under 25 years of age.
Now it. is felt they are very
r%cessary as soon as a woman
begins to have sexual inter-
course.
' Remember a Pap smear is
a cancer smear, named for
the original researcher,
Papanicolau. There are five
BE CRAFTY
Sca rf and belt
brighten wardrobe
By ALICE MORRELL
Copley News Service
The stores have had their
after -Christmas sales and are
well stocked with spring
clothes that look so fresh and.
new. Unfortunately, so do the
price tags.
I decided I'd better have
another look at last 'year's
wardrobe because with a few
new touches I can still look
new and fresh. In this time of
recycling, the best place to
start is at home..
From one yard of 36- to 42 -
inch material I can shake a
pretty scarf and an attractive
belt to give my last year's
dress a new base on life, and
ease the strain on my wallet -
at the same time.
The • material you choose
should be soft, light weight,
such as rayon, silk fine cotton
or anything that will drape
softly.
If you are going to use these
accessories on a solid color
dress choose a gay print. Or if
you wish to change a print
dress, pick a solid color from
a predominant color in your
frock.
Besides one yard of
material, you should pur-
chase one eighth yard of
medium weight nonwoven in-
terfacing, thread, and a 21 -
inch buckle without a prong.
Lay the material open and
flat on your cutting surface.
For the' scarf measure 19
inches from the selvage edge
on one side (Fig. 1). Cut
straight on measured line.
For the belt measure yobr
waist and add seven inches
for the totaNength of the belt.
Measure 10 inches for the
width. Cut a straight piece 10
inches wide and as long as
your waist measurement plus
seven inches (Fig. 1) .
To sew the scarf, fold
lengthwise wrong side out, al-
low 1 inch for the seams. Sew
along the two sides and one
end. Turn to right side, turn
open end under 1 inch and
blind seiv by hand.
For the belt, cut interfacing
the same width and length as
you cut the belt material.
Turn belt fabric wrong side
out, lay interfacing flat, and
baste all around. Now, using a
saucer as a guide, cut one end
round (Fig. 2). Sew 1 inch
seam, trim edges and' turn.
Trun under 1 inch on open
end. Slip this °end through
buckle and sew to belt, catch-
ing the closing at the same
time.
The interfacing will give
enough body to the belt, so
that it will hold without a
prong.
The bit of material that I
have left over, I make into a
narrow pointed scarf, just the
thing to wear under the col-
lars of white blouses.
Several of these make a
lovely gift for a friend or to
use as bridge prizes.
Be sure to check remnant
counter for good bargain.
Experiment and have fun.
classes: I is normal; II means
some infection changes; III
means more extensive varia-
tions in thecells; and IV and
V are presumably . cancers.
In examining young women
in contraceptive clinics, we
find rather frequent Class II
smears, a fair number of
Class III smears, and an oc-
casional test of a biopsy that
is called cancer "in situ."
This "in situ" expression
means the cancer is in one
spot and has not begun to in-
vade surrounding tissue. It
can be readily aired if it is
treated early.
Infections are very common
in women having intercourse
with ,various partners. So far
the beauty of the sexual ex-
perience has not improved the
condition of cervices and
vaginas. Reports seem to in-
dicate . that . after a certain
number of years, cancers; de-
velop.' Are they due to infec-
tions we can see, to viruses, to
some effect on. inherited
cells? No one can say. But a
few young women, aswell as
the middle-aged and older, do
develop invasive cancers.
Since cancer changes like
this do not suddenly appear
full blown, regular pelvic ex-
aminations' and tests are the
means of'catching . them early
so that .serious. complications
are prevented.
New York state acts
to stem child abuse
• Toll-free phone numbers,
open to the public on a 24-hour
basis, enable the, New York
State Department of Social
Services to require all local
welfare departments to install
24 -hour -,a -day, seven -day -a -
week facilities capable of ac-
cepting and acting quickly on
reports of child abuse• or ne-
glect. °
Under the new system, in
emergency cases remedial
action ,can be taken immedi-
ately by a local agency or po-
lice. In all cases, the local
welfare department will be
required to make an investi-
gation of all reports within 24
hours.
