But you're chilly. What's wrong? Thermostat gone haywire? Probably not, say the home heat- ing experts. Chances are you're "radiating" too much. They mean that you are cold because cold outside walls and windows of your house are pulling heat from your body. Heating people sometimes call it "cold-wall magnetism," a law of physics relating to the amount of heat travelling from a warm surface (your body) to a cold surface (cold walls or win- dows). And it has to happen when the temperature suddenly drops to near freezing or below. you correct this condition?

Well, sir, it's the ladies. "Eighty-six pr cent of the pyja mas sold today are bought by women," said M. J. Lovell, direc- tor of the Men's Pyjama Institute. The $125,000,000-a-year industry now booming again, will market 30,000,000 pairs of men's pyjamas by the end of 1549, double the num- ber of only five years ago. USE HUBBIES' PAIR "Can't figure out how many women buy pyjamas for them- | selves," remarked Lovell. "Many | wives have got into the habit of | rolling up the cuffs and sleeves of | their husband's pyjamas and wear- | ing them, "A lot of single girls now buy | small sized men's pyjamas for | their own use, too." | No one can be sure just who in- vented pyjamas, as the Russians have failed as yet to stake out were viewed at first with the same deep suspicion shown for the first bathtubs. Theatre matinee idols wore py- jamas in bedroom farces. And when Rudolph Valentino wore them in a film, they became the rage. But the war--plus the bragging of later Hollywood stars (actresses as well as actors) that they pre- ferred sleeping in their birthday suits--cut pyjama sales steeply. "The idea got around that real he-men always slept raw," said Lovell sternly. "That's silly." "I also deny those stories that many Hollywood actresses sleep raw, I'd like to see scm: concrete proof." The pyjama indusry now is stres- sing the all - around livability of pyjamas for lounging, beachwear and TV viewing. It markets them in 250 styles, patterns and colors.
