A builder bought land for an
apartment house. There was
a covenant in a former deed
requiring a set-back of five
feet which the builder's title
examiner “missed.” The
builder had laid the founda
tion to the front line and was
np to the second story when
tb« neighboring property
oMnen consulted an attorney.
The builder was consequently i
compelled to demolish and re
build his structure and as a
result was put to a loss of
thousands of dollars.
Title Insurance would have
prevented the loss.

COOL-LOOKING FROCKS
ENHANCE ONE’S CHARM
Choose Colors and Fabrics in Keeping with the Weather,
Urges Mies Huddleston, and Be Moderate
in the Use of Cosmetics
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
Now that really hot weather has swrooped on us with a vengeance,
every possible means must be taken to preserve a cool, attractive ap
pearance. Even in beauty circles there are many things one can do to
keep actually cool, as well as to appear cool.
And when we really look cool the thought works
itself into our minds so* that we soon begin to feel
as cool as we look.
I When one considers the little, time most women
devote to selecting colored clothes in their relation
to the weather and season it is little wonder that
we find them wearing flame-colored frocks when the
thermometer registers in the nineties.
Such colors when worn on a hot day not only
catch and hold the heat, but give the impression
to others that one is far warmer than one actually
is. Then, too. warm colors work on one's subcon
scious mind, suggesting heat and action, instead of
coolness and restful moods.
Not only is it necessary to choose the right
shade, but the material plays an important part in
the Summer wardrobe. Satins, bright and shiny,
hold and reflect the heat, literally throwing a spot
light toward the face so that the wearer appears far
warmer than she really is. If materials and colors are carefully chosen
during the Summer months and only the cool colors and materials worn,
a great deal will be accomplished toward solving the heat problem.

Harlingen Sportsman
Now Has Back Yard
Stocked With Worms
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. July 22.—Dr. J. A
Crockett, well known here as a doc
tor and fisherman, has started to
; work, while < thers have been talk
ing, and is cultivating a patch of
J fishing worms in his back yard.
Dr. Crockett says the worms are
healthy and growing fast, and that
he will start catching fish soon.
He says he is growing them as
much to vindicate Valley soil and
climate as anything else.
5 snotlight action, give the skin a hot.
shiny appearance, which is in per
fect keeping with the weather, but
which is devastating to the beauty
and charm of the individual. For
what woman can be beautiful and
appealing with a complexion that
appears streaked with layers of cos
metics and oil.
Materials that are closely woven
do not allow the air to penetrate to
the skin. Chiffon, organdies, linen
and loosely-women silks and cottons,
because they allow the air to pene
trate and because they are easily
'aundered. are the beauty and charm
fabrics of the Midsummer season.
Make-up. too, should be simole
and cosmetics used in moderation.
Thick, heavy layers of rouge and
nowder prevent the skin from deriv
ing any benefit whatever from the
sun or the soft breeze. It merely
clogs the ;'ores during the one sea
son one can give the skin a rest
from the meticulous care that is re
quired for the “smart” seasons.
A light oat of rouge, v:ith ever so
little powder used on the nose, a
touch of lip rouge and a bit of mas
caro on the lashes, is all the make
up that hot weather requires. One’s
own color usually is higher during
the summer, anyway, and that is
another reason why a smaller
amount of cosmetics Is required.
Just a light brushing of mascaro
and one verv light application of
lip rouge wall prevent that terrible
stiekv and made-up appearance.
Taking into consideration the ne
cessity of appearing cool if one is
to feel cool, consider the colors and
the materials of first Importance in
the wardrobe.
