I have a daughter who suffers for two days every month. She has been examined by a gyne- cologist, but nothing helps much. A. The newest theory about one of the causes of menstrual cramps has to do with the prostaglandins, chemicals occurring in many tissues, but recently found to be important in obstetrics and gynecology. Their con- trol may have a lot to do with better treatment of menstrual cramps.

You are so consistently con- trated that your personal- ity no dilution, seen in your very small writing. You are trying so hard to be perfect, that you are - hemmed -in. You , find it al- most impossible to spread yourself into different direc- tions, which, you'll have to agree, is a necessity if you are going to make connections. You have a brilliant mind, seen in the pointed m's and n's, and your ability to con- centrate so completely has been a decided advantage in pursuing your intellectual status. You are so minutely detailed, seen again in the small writing and the i dots, and you take things so seri- ously, seen in your writing pressure, that tension con- sumes you. While you are a very capa- ble person, you are not too sure of your abilities, seen in the lbw t crossings. Since you have never really been con- vinced of your true worth, you have never really known ex- actly what you went to do in life. Your extreme pride, seen in the very tall t's, has tried to pursue, for you, positions which would give you some return in order to fulfill some of your basic needs for ac- ceptance. sceptance. . While it is unlikely that you would experience any real satisfaction in a social or po- litical picture, you have un- usual , ability in specialized fields, involving detail work. Here you would experience the fulfillment you are crav- ing, and the recognition you deserve. Everyone has his capabili- ties, and his limitations. It is only when you can rec- ognise your own that'you can contribute your part to the universal whole with corffi- dence in yourself and faith in others. ... AS GOOD AS GOLD!

It is known that aspirin prevents their forma, tion and most women have had some relief for mild cramps with aspirin. It is, of course, not practical to take very large doses of aspirin, and might even be danger- ous. There are other drugs to prevent the formation of prostaglandins and these are being tested experimentally. The time should come when we have a really effective way of treating severe menstrual cramps. In the meanwhile, whenain is incapacitating and interferes with normal living, birth con- trol pills and other hormones may be the medication of choice. Most doctors feel birth -control pills are pri- marily for contraception and prefer prescribing them for cramps only when the cramps are severe, but they have a place.

CHILD'S PLAY Paint blobs create picture By BUROKER & • HUNT'SINGER - Are you a summer back Hopper? It's an occupation that re- quires no skill, no training, no cost. You just need a little time and lots of imagination along with the ability to re- lax. So one of the easiest pas- times is to find a comfortable, grassy spot where you can be all alone, still and quiet. Then, lie flat on your back and gaze up at the sky. Chances are — if it's just the right kind of warrn, sunny - day — there will be a few clouds drifting by. Without even trying, if you gaze upward long enough, you'll begin to see patterns or shapes in the clouds. One may look like a fuzzy animal. As you stare at it, that shape may begin to shift and change. And, before you know it, a floppy dog may turn into a map of Australia, or perhaps a big ice cream cone, or goodness knows what. Perhaps this sort of cloud gazing is how the phrase came about, "building castles in the sky." After awhile, however, you may get tired of lying out in the sun. How about some lazy day doodling, then, just play- ing with blobs of paint? Ordinary colored tempora can turn into a type .of cloud watching or blob gazing. Just plot a big dab of wet paint on- to ordinary paper and spread it out with a brush with no plan or design in mind. Make several blobs of differertt col- ors. Now, wait for these to dry, then outline each splotch with a felt pen. While waiting, make some eyes, large and small, out of rounds of white paper and black felt pen marks. The last step is to turn the paper about and gaze at these shapes awhile until some- thing comes to mind where an eye or twomight Just fit in fine. The accompanying illus- tration began with just such unplanned blobs. As in cloud watching (though with the addition of eyes) these formations now suggest such shapes to you as a sea horse, alligator, fish or dinosaur. Like in cloud watching, two persons rarely see the same thing, but it's certainly fun When they do. Perhaps this type of paint- ing could be called "clouda- bobs." Try it, and see how pleasant it is for summer day relaxing. tique key Wil. matching * taaaeI Qn an Old cotturtOde used in the reOr l• Wfdis were * Willard blue and green toil, Dining chat were white French provincial with green fluting and the tat' bt r was deep, c Q, My husband and I have a fairly large dlning'anti living room conbin tion and we want `.a warm, colorful and con*f ortable atmosphere , since we sPend most of our time in this one room, The walls are off-white and our furniture is Spanish with a crushed velvet :sofa and Ibve- seat. One wall has large win- dows with the draperies ex- tending from one end of the wall to the other. The fireplace is wood paneled with a wall plaque of crossed swords belonging to the English days. We also have two conquistador lamps. We just bought a tapestry with the subject matter a bull fight. I think we goofed but is there any way we can com- bine these periods of time by getting other things and still achieve our goal or do you suggest we get rid of the wall plaque, theps and the tapestry and�sWt all over again? —M.G.W. ' A. I don't think it is the pe- riod you need to have con- sistent in your accessories. Rather, I feel it is more a matter of quality and, of course, the things you truly like. If you have, bought something for your home that you do not like later, you have little choice but to eliminate ' it. I would not buy more things trying to make it fit be- cause it never will if you don't like it. Accessories for the home and wall decorations in par- ticular are highly personal and should represent things you especially like. Simply by liking a number of things, they often have a .compatibil- ity even if they represent widely differing periods in history. With_ the : well plaques, the Spar> i lamps and the tapestry, you may have too much going on. Per- haps a simplier tapestry or plainer lamps would be better choices. I would start with the things you really like and build on those. `Grown-up' skin needs pampering Your skin's oiliness de- creases as you become older, so after 29 it is best to use soap sparingly, followed by application of cold cream, or use a nonsoap cleanser.
