“LY\\ S-!“ They Cry
Larger Women Find Right Clothes At Last
Cheerful—attractive—comfortable, here is a room that truly reflects the superb taste
of Pro-Tect-U Jalousie Windows.
Pro-Tect-U’s offer the perfect communication between Nature and interiors . . .
the cheer of sunlight, the sense of space; combined with finger-tip control of the
weather. With a flick of the wrist, the hurricane-proof glass louvers open to cross-
ventilation, or close against rain, dampness, storm, or cold. So perfect is the insula-
tion that homeowners say one small heater keeps these jalousied rooms pleasantly
warm in winter.
More than 1,000 Houston homeowners have installed Pro-Tect-U's manufactured
by PRO-TECT-U JALOUSIE CORPORATION OF TEXAS, 2501 Wroxton Road, Ja-
lousie pioneer in this area. Phone LY-1998, LY-9459 for a conversion expert to show
you, without obligation, beautiful colored slides of magniificent Pro-Tect-U converted
rooms, porches and breezeways. Terms: IO percent down, 30 months to pay.

OLD BELGIUM Antiques
By Paul Seghers
A new shipment of selected
antiques, direct from Europe,
has arrived at our new shop
at 3617 South Main. The shop
is literally bulging with fine
items.

sented in this

lovers will find *
many rare items
to grace their ■ ^W\
homes. > J
One of the most cherished
items now with us (maybe sold
when you read this) is a beauti-
ful set of six ornamental dishes
painted by the famous 18th Cen-
tury artist Watteau. I stumbled
upon twelve of these rare dishes
in Venice, and sold the other six
to a South American lady. These
are truly enchanted plates, with
exquisitely painted love scenes
set in dark blue borders with
gold ornamentation. Dainty,
graceful, miniaturelike, from the.
great porcelain factory of the
King of France, they sell for
$150 a pair.
Another fine antique is our
White Capo Di Monte depicting
a 17th Century italian balcony
scene, the fhaiden leaning down,
while a couple in the street dance
to mandolin and flute music.
About 260 years old, from the
Chateau De Bergeuck near Ant-
werp, it sells for $275.
Or perhaps you would pre-
fer a magnificent grandfather
clock, that runs and tells the
time, the day, the month, the
year, and the moon?

Hundreds of style-conscious larger women
—who once walked their heels off in down-
town stores trying to find a garment that
would fit and have style too — have said
goodbye to all that exercise.
For years they made the rounds of the
big stores, and gazed longingly upon rack
after rack of stylish clothes — made for
smaller women. Finally, in desperation, they
would walk off with that same big sack with
the V-neck. The only person the sale satis-
fied was the saleslady.
Today, they shop exclusively at LYNN’S,
4907 South Main, JA-5232, Texas’ exclusive

“larger sizes” store. Here, they find gar-
ments styled to fit the larger women, whether
tall, stout, or short-waisted — whether cock-
tail dress or sports ensemble!
For example, take the case of Mrs. Alma
Sprague, of 3317 Morrison (who Is building
a beautiful home in Bayou Woods off Memo-
rial Drive). For 10 years, Mrs. Sprague said
she “combed the town and often went home
empty-handed looking for garments size 52.”
“Today, I shop at Lynn’s and go home with
four or five garments that fit — and they do
have style!” said Mrs*. Sprague. “Their variety
is terrific. It’s a unique store and many of
my friends shop there too.”
Yes, nothing is impossible at this unique
store, whether it be lingerie up to size 60;
suits to 56; dresses from 20 to 60; and in half-
sizes from 16*4 to 32*4; or coats of any size.
If you are a discriminating and often- dis-
appointed larger woman — head today for
Lynn’s, where you will find fit and style
both — at budget prices!

Here is a question that will certainly set you to shivering in less titan a month
from now! Why didn’t I install a VENTED UTILITY WALL 11 KNACK with auto-
matic control that allows me to set the temperature at nighf so that it will start an hour
before I awake in the morning;, in a WARM house?
Why? WHY? KA-CHOOOO! (Doctor bills.)
Why not act right now and call FA-1333, FRESH AIR CIRCULATOR CO. 3108 Navigation for
their sales engineers to make you an estimate on how little it costs to keep well this winter and

'Til Christmas
While the reminder may be
a little premature—because
the majority of Houstonians
haven’t started shopping yet—
there is one group pushing the
slogan.
The U. S. Post Office this
week started testing a new al-
phabetical system for sorting
incoming mails. Postmaster
Granville Elder is trying to
work out a plan to out down
on the number of special
clerks needed to handle the
Christmas business. It took 915
special clerks last year.

To all who would forsake the
bad ways and accept Him, a new
life opens.
I will call the boy Johnny
Maynard. He attended the
old-fashioned country school.
That year he drifted carelessly
along. BUT in mid-winter some-
thing happened. His teacher saw
something in the boy, encou-
raged it, and Johnny changed.
From grades low as 38 and 40,
his grades rose to 95, 98, and
100! He passed final examina-
tion with flying
colors. At the
annual parents-
and-teachers get-
together at the
school, where
the old-fashion-
ed copy books
were on display,
he noticed his
parents looking
through his copy
book.
HIS HEART SANK, for he
remembered the manv dreary
blots on the pages that represent-
ed the early part of his work.
Johnny was heartsick! Then he
saw his mother smile and call
to his father happily. A proud
look came over his father’s face
as he studied the copy book.
Afterward, Johnny sneaked a
look at his copy book. All the
blotted leaves had been remov-
ed! Only the clean and shining
work was there!
HIS WONDERFUL TEACHER
had torn out the past and made
his copy book begin at the point
where Johnny had really begun
I use this true story in para-
ble form, for I say that all who
would forsake sin and accept
Him, will have the blotted leaves
of the past torn out, and only the
clean and shining work will
remain.

Mossoge Brings Health
The desire of intelligent women to look their best
and feel their best is achieved by training, not by wishful
thinking.
Careers . . . social life . . . marriage and children, all put heavy
demands upon the modern woman. Unless she takes positive action
to keep herself fit, the years steadily take their toll.
For the many hundreds of women who keep their shape and
their health at THE GRACE SYSTEM, 3825 Fannin, JU-5591, this
problem is solved by expert masseuses (graduate physio-therapists),
medicinal baths, Swedish massage, systems of dieting, and the
famous SlendaVogue (Miracle Spot Reducer) course.
“The Xmas season,” points
out Mrs. Grace Donnelly of the
famous salon, “means women
%M|jr worn out with social and shop-
ping problems, nervous and in
many cases overweight. Women
who do not enroll through the
Xmas season will certainly pay
the penalty later on.”

RH^EiB THAN EVER—
How To Freeze
To preserve the freshness of
fruits and vegetables, wrap them
in moisture-proof materials be-
fore they go into the freezer.
Frozen foods are likely to lose
quality if poorly packaged. The
dry cold air in the freezer con-
stantly steals moistur^from foods
in the form of moisture-vapor—
unless products are wrapped and
sealed airtight.
•
Keep thi* in mind when you
buy container* and wrapping*
for freezing spring and summer
produce. Find out directions for
sealing containers at the time you
buy them. Then seal package*
carefully before freezing. It’s
good insurance for top quality
frozen foods.
Just Because...!
This is hard to believe, but it
is true.
THIS GAL, an assembly
operator in a plant, was new but
talented. Plenty brains. Then she
began to make mistakes on the
job so awful that her super-
visor could not imagine her mak-
ing these mistakes. When ques-
tioned, she was very frank.
SHE SAID she was just curi-
ous to see what would 1 appen “if
she did the wrong thing!”
TIP: A good supervisor not
only shows a new worked how
to do a thing right, but also Jow
to do It wrong. This satisfi* a
worker’s natural curiosityl
